‘Appelsinpiken’ and experiential tourism. Andalusia, ‘geography with a thrill’ by Maria del Carmen Puche Ruiz

“…The purpose of this article is to analyse the context in which ‘Appelsinpiken’ (‘The Orange Girl’, Eva Dahr, 2008) was filmed, and also the image of tourism in Seville that the films suggests as a reduction of the image of Andalusia and Spain in the Nordic collective conscience. In keeping with the canons of Romanticism and the premises of ‘experiential tourism’, Seville’s colourful appearance in the film is limited to promoting the city as a tourism destination that is utterly stuck in the past : an audiovisual appeal to the tourist ego via the emotional vision of the phenomenon of a journey.For this analysis, a qualitative study is conducted of both Andalusia’s importance as a destination for the Norwegian tourism market and the contrast between the two images of Seville, so far apart in time, described by two Nordic writers-tourists, (Andersen and Gaarder), along with the reactions to the shooting and première of ‘Appelsinpiken’. …”

The influence of preliminary heat treatment on morphology of carbon layer formed on surface of chlorinated polyvinyl chloride under the impact of a high-power ion beam by V. S. Kovivchak, A. A. Parygin

“…On the control sample and the sample subjected to heating to 100 °C, only nanofibers are formed, preheating to 150 °C leads to the formation of a porous structure with nanosized pores under the nanofibers, and preheating to 200 °C leads to a significant decrease in the porosity and concentration of nanofibers.…”

Wing Morphometry and Acoustic Signals in Sterile and Wild Males: Implications for Mating Success in Ceratitis capitata by João Maria Gomes Alencar de Souza, Paulo Augusto de Lima-Filho, Wagner Franco Molina, Lúcia Maria de Almeida, Milson Bezerra de Gouveia, Francisco Pepino de Macêdo, Raul Alberto Laumann, Beatriz Aguiar Jordão Paranhos

“…This study investigated the interaction between mating success and morphometric variation in the wings and the production of acoustic signals among three male groups of Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann): (1) wild males, (2) irradiated with Co-60 (steriles), and (3) irradiated (steriles) and treated with ginger oil. The canonical variate analysis discriminated two groups (males irradiated and males wild), based on the morphological shape of the wings. …”
