A Study of the Residents’Perception on the Socio-cultural Impact of Coastal Tourism

In the process of tourism development,destination residents,as an important interest group,their perception and attitude towards the impact of tourism has a vital significance to the success of the development of coastal tourism industry.This research studies the perception and attitude to the socio-cultural impact of community residents who live in coastal tourism destination Qingdao through an empirical case study.The results of the study draw that residents’perception of positive influences produce positive effects on their attitude while perception of negative impact generates negative effects.Cluster analysis and descriptive statistical analysis were used to divide Qingdao community residents into four types,namely optimistic supporters,pessimistic opponents,rational supporters,and neutral.Through the different categories of demographic analysis and logistic regression model analysis,the influence degree of residents’subjective factors posed on tourism effect perception has been explored.The research adds a new applied case study for a comprehensive understanding of impacts of coastal tourism destinations.

Assessing the Impact of Regulations on Radiation Safety Culture and Practices in Radiology Departments

Background: The need to establish a strong culture around radiation safety is derived from the assertion that medical practitioners, patients, and third parties should not be exposed to unnecessary radiation. Authorities have endeavored to enact policies to protect all employers and patients in radiology departments. Objectives: To assess the impact of radiation safety practices and regulations on the ongoing improvements in radiation safety culture and practices in radiology departments. This will be achieved through a subjective assessment of national and international rules and regulations by healthcare professionals. Materials and Methods: We conducted a questionnaire survey in the radiology departments of three JCI-accredited hospitals in the Riyadh region to identify and assess the impact of national radiation regulations and the accompanying processes on the improvement of radiation safety culture and practices in radiology departments. Results: There were statistically significant differences in the grading system results among various groups of respondents, based on their educational level. Also, there are statistically significant differences between the assessments of safety level results in the answers provided by various groups of respondents according to education level in favor of the master’s degree. Conclusion: The study concludes that technicians with a diploma degree require stricter regulation. Furthermore, the results of this study suggest that an exposure tracking system and a regulatory action supporting it may be useful in the ongoing task of improving patients’ radiation safety.

The Impacts of Cultural Value Differences on Teambuilding Across Cultures

Globalization affects business more profoundly than it dose on other aspects.Under the globalization background,teambuilding across cultures has become an inescapable trend.In order to maximize the efficiency and build a harmonious atmosphere in the teams,a better understanding about the people from different cultural backgrounds is requested.The best way to achieve this goal is to make a deep analysis about the different actions and attitudes of people from different cultural backgrounds.By knowing the motives behind their actions,conflicts and misunderstandings could be avoided.Generally speaking,there are two typical kinds of cultural backgrounds in this world-the individualism(western countries) and the collectivism(culturally Chinese countries).At every stage of team building(Forming,Storming,Norming and Performing) people from the two different cultural backgrounds hold different views.Also,they have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Environmental impact of aquaculture-sedimentation and nutrient loadings from shrimp culture of the southeast coastal region of the Bay of Bengal

Nutrient loadings were measured for surface seawater and bottom sediments of semi intensive and improved extensive shrimp culture pond, adjacent estuary, and fallow land in the south east coastal region of Bangladesh during August, 2000—January, 2001 to evaluate the impact of shrimp culture. The mean levels of nutrients found in the pond surface water were 108 780 mg/L for CaCO 3, 0 526 mg/L for NH + 4 N, 3 075 wt% for organic carbon, 7 00 mg/L for PO 4 P, 5 57 mg/L for NO 3 N, and 7 33 mg/L for chlorophyll a. The maximum mean value of H 2S(0 232 mg/L) was found in estuarine water. Nutrients loading were found to be decreased with distance from the shrimp farm discharge unit in estuarine water. The mean level of organic matter, total nitrogen, and organic carbon were found in higher concentrations in sediments of cultured pond compared to bottom soil of adjacent fallow land at the same elevation. Extractable Ca values were found in higher concentration(550 33 ppt) in adjacent fallow land, as the shrimps for molting in shrimp ponds use extractable Ca. The relation between seawater H 2S value and sediment pH ( r= -0 94); sediment organic carbon and sediment pH values ( r= -0 76), sediment total nitrogen and sediment pH ( r= - 0 74) were found to be highly negatively correlated. Whereas the relation between seawater H 2S value and sediment total nitrogen ( r= 0 92), water NH + 4 N and sediment pH ( r= 0 66) were found to be positively correlated. The results revealed that load of nutrients at eutrophic level in estuarine water, and decrease of soil pH; leading to acid sulphate soil formation indicates a negative impact of shrimp culture.

Aquaculture Environmental Capacity Research of Daiqu Fishery of Zhoushan: The Impact of Cage Culture on Sediment Quality

Impact of LaMmichthys crocea cage culture in Daiqu fishery （Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province） on the chemistry of the sediment was inves- tigated. Sediment samples, in different depths and from three stations at various distances from the cage, were collected, for analyzing total organic matter, total organic carbon, total nitrogen and phosphorus. The results showed a significant increase in all analyzed parameters in station 1, at 5 m from the cage. The difference between reference station （600 m from the cage） and station 2 at 95 m to the cage was insignificant, indicating lo- calized impact of cage farming to the vicinity of cage. The analyzed parameters in various depths did not show a significant difference. The values of analyzed parameters in the perimeter of the cage and their differences with reference stations showed small magnitude and localized impact on the chemistry of sediment. It might be because of deep water and moderate velocity of water current in this fjord. The magnitude of impact may dif- fer durina the summer when biomass and feedina rate would be at the maximum level.

Culture Impact on the Term Geo-ethics in Egypt

Geoethics is a new term that could be unknown in the Arab world, where its translation in Arabic language poses some problems, especially in Egypt. Spreading this term and its importance to professionals and population is not an easy task. These cultural and awareness problems force us to understand and act to solve them. In this paper the authors have studied two samples of people with different education levels： the first one is formed by young geoscientists and the other one is formed by young people coming from different disciplines. The two groups of people have been initially the subject of a survey （by monitoring a base level） about the knowing of geoethics. In a second phase, they have been the subject of another survey after giving them some lectures and workshops on geoethics. The goal of the research was to find out how people accept the term ＂geoethics＂ and its application and how we can spread it effectively into communities in different ways. In Egypt there are some cultural problems that could affect on spreading of any new concept. These problems could be overcome by some scientific, social and culture actionable recommendations, and these recommendations could be applied in both Arab and African countries with few modifications.
