The rapid development of the Internet has led to the prevalence of big data analysis. Data mining is crucial to extracting potentially valuable information from big data and has therefore received considerable attention from researchers. Python is a common programming language used in data mining. Because of its rich database and robust capacity for scientific calculations, Python is considered an irreplaceable tool for data mining. This study adopted Python to perform a data mining analysis on visitor comments on Booking.com. The study was divided into several stages, namely, data source selection, data acquisition, data saving, data preprocessing, indexing of comments on Booking.com through the Python-based Scrapy framework, and user operation simulation through Selenium to analyze the performance of the spider program. Data mining can be used to identify useful information, which can serve as references for consumers to make purchase decisions. Extraction of data from booking sites through spider programs enables site administrators to attract more visitors. Analysis of extracted data also facilitates the elimination of misjudged comments and helps hotels improve their service quality, hardware, and personnel training.

This study uses the structural equation model as the analysis tool, and aims to explore the effects of tourism experience on job involvement and well-being. The subjects are full-time workers who have travelled in the last 12 months. This investigation is based on purposive sampling and e-questionnaires, uses analytical tools SPSS 18.0 and AMOS 19.0, and 360 valid questionnaires are retrieved. According to the research findings: (1) tourism experience positively influences job involvement; (2) tourism experience does not positively influence well-being; and (3) job involvement positively influences well-being. Based on the above, this study suggests that managers plan appropriate trips according to employees' demands. Experiential activities should be appealing and trigger internal affective connections through external experience, in order to reinforce job involvement and well-being in life. The research results also reveal that, of the five experiences, i.e., sensual experience, emotional experience, thinking experience, action experience, and related experience, the regression coefficient of emotional experience is the highest, which shows why story marketing has taken an important position among marketing strategies. The different types of tourism experience include recreational sightseeing, cultural sightseeing, entertaining sightseeing, and sports sightseeing where recreational sightseeing accounts for 58.1%. Under the existing system, there may have been items that did not apply to the respondents, which would result in deviations or errors in the questionnaires; in the case of any special or major changes in the external environment

(eds.), RAdvances in Water Resources, Coastal Management, and Marine Science Technology. Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 104, pp. 945–950. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208.This study determines the beliefs of vocational university graduates the suitability of their alma mater's curriculum for employment preparation. Fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) was performed on data from 521 valid returned questionnaires. The importance performance analysis results indicated that both the satisfaction and importance level were high for the attributes of ‘resist pressure', ‘learning initiative', ‘responsibility', ‘service devotion', ‘professional ethnics and morals', ‘teamwork skill', ‘communication skill', ‘problem-solving skill', ‘interpersonal relationship', ‘disciplinary skill of table service', and ‘sanitary knowledge'. ‘Stability' and ‘mood control' were attributes of high importance but low satisfaction, indicating that improvement was required in the curriculum plan. Regression analysis of the curriculum plan was performed to determine the effects of ‘curriculum design', ‘teaching', and ‘practical training programme (PTP)' on employability with respect to ‘professional competency' in ‘work attitude', ‘core skills’, and ‘disciplinary skills'. The results of multiple regression analyses were confirmed through fuzzy QCA, where the importance of ‘curriculum design' and ‘PTP’ was identified.

This study determined the employability of vocational college graduates as perceived by travel agency managers in Taiwan. The AHP was performed on data from 50 valid returned questionnaires. The results show that travel agency managers identified 'generic skills' to be the most important employability skill, followed by 'professional attitude', 'discipline', and 'career planning'. For specific scale-items, travel agency managers ranked 'communication' the highest, followed by 'lifelong-learning', 'dedication to work', 'crisis management', 'selfmarketing', 'teamwork', and 'tour planning and execution'. It is recommended that the vocational colleges of Taiwan design curricula to improve students' competency in these areas for enhanced employability.

Large chunk of cooling load is typically demanded during hospitality operation. In the pursuit of reducing its energy cost, a multi-functional commercial building incorporates ice thermal energy storage (TES) concept for storing harvested ice at off-peak hours and thawing the storage medium at peak hours. Ice built during off-peak hours is used to relief the cooling burden of hospitality operation at peak hours. The refrigeration cycle of water chilling would operate under two modes, the ice mode for thermal storage, and the chill water mode for instantaneous air cooling. The TES design uses a partial storage approach to satisfy off-peak hour cooling demands. Two screw chillers are integrated with each other for the implementation to allow feeding chill water to the air-handler coils while producing ice for storage at the same time. Not only does the TES system take advantage of the electric rate structure, super-cooled air also makes humidity levels to be lower than buildings with conventional cooling systems. Cool air is introduced to VAV (variable air volume) terminal boxes and is mixed with induced plenum air to bypass any reheat, yielding additional saving. The TES system saves electricity cost while providing thermal comfort to occupants. Indoor air quality may have been sacrificed when only 5 L/s per person of fresh ventilation is introduced into the building.

Preschool education develops from focus on physical cultivation in traditional agricultural society to professional education in professional institutions such as kindergartens. In recent years, it emphasizes multiple development and interactive instruction. By field perception, it constructs multi-dimensional and multi-level instruction. Outdoor education is gradually valued and operated. Through personal experience and interactive learning, it explores the meanings of natural environment and culture, learns responsibility and cognition, enhances application and thinking capacity, cultivates the correct concept of environmental protection, social justice and life recognition in order to accomplish the goals of environmental education and diverse development and be different from rigid and limited knowledge and learning of traditional books in schools.This study focused on selection of activity types in kindergarten outdoor education.

By gender, female managers have higher green hotel attitudes. Managers with less work experience have higher green hotel attitudes. Managers who work for upscale hotels have higher green hotel attitudes than managers of typical hotels and travel agencies. Managers working in south or east Taiwan have higher green hotel attitudes than those in north or central Taiwan.

In order to help students absorb knowledge, schools often conduct readingactivities. Thorough planning and strategies, however, are needed to insurethe effect of reading promotions, and make them a deeply-rooted part of life.This study adopted the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to discuss therelevant factors in promoting reading activities in elementary schools, as wellas how the reading activities should be pushed forward to increase students’interest in reading and help them form good reading habits. The resultsshowed that there are three key success factors in promoting readingactivities: (1) teachers’ emphasis on and implementation of reading activities;(2) the reading habits of parents and other family members; (3) teachers’professional knowledge and skills in guiding the students to read.

Peak-hour tariff typically troubles commercial office buildings in hot and humid climates where cooling demands are high during summer. Because the local power company rate structure strongly favors the practice of load shift and conversely penalizes peak load demand during peak hours, a multi-functional office building in Taipei seeks to reduce its cooling cost by ways of an ice thermal energy storage system in which harvested ice is stored during cheaper off-peak hours and thawing the storage medium during peak hours. The system uses partial storage approach to satisfy off-peak cooling demand while peak-hour cooling burden is relieved by chilled water built the previous night. Two screw chillers would be integrated with each other for the implementation to allow feeding chill water to the air-handler coils while producing ice for storage at the same time. The refrigeration cycle of water chilling operates under two modes, the ice mode for thermal storage, and the chill water mode for instantaneous air cooling. Super-cooled air from melted ice-water makes humidity levels to be lower than conditioned with conventional systems, as well as load shift incentives. Cool air is introduced to variable air volume terminal boxes and is mixed with induced plenum air to bypass any reheat, yielding additional saving.
