Item High-Utility Itemset Mining using Fuzzy Sets(Smart Innovation, Systems and Technologies (SIST,volume 326), 2023) Khan, Salman; Almeida, TracyHigh-utility itemset mining aims to mine itemsets with high utilities. Utility of an itemset is the profit value associated with it. However, high-utility itemsets are generated considering only the occurrence of the items in the database. These patterns do not contain any information about the utilities of the items in the transaction. This paper aims to generate high-utility itemsets containing information about the utilities of the items.Item Stake Holder Collaboration for a Religious Tourism Mega Event(Journal of Tourism, Volume XX, No. 1, 2019, 2019) Gore, SurabhiThe "Exposition of the relics of St Francis Xavier" is a decennial mega event held at the world heritage site of "Churches and Convents of Goa". The paper analyses the grounds on which collaborations among the stakeholders are formed during the preparation for the event. It highlights the concerns of the stakeholders. The research also brings to light the issues that lead to conflicts among the stakeholders. The data is collected by personally interviewing the stakeholders through a structured questionnaire. The analysis is done by correlating the responses of the stakeholders with the literature on stakeholder collaboration. The results show that the stakeholders formed collaboration for event management, economic benefits, conflict management and conservation. The concerns expressed by stakeholders were with regards to collaboration, religious tourism, heritage management and event management. Private sector stakeholders have associations that assist them in resolving conflicts through negotiations, whereas among public sector stakeholders, conflicts are covert. The paper's originality lies in examining a decennial event in a unique setting and its implications on the stakeholders. The article would help the policy makers in understanding the problems and issues faced by the stakeholders while planning for tourism events.
