Effective volunteer management in sports tourism events depends on understanding motivations, segmenting profiles, and fostering satisfaction to ensure continuity and event success. The purpose of this study was to examine volunteer motivation, investigate differences in motivation based on gender and age, and identify key predictors of the intention to continue volunteering. The sample consisted of 390 partici...
Introduction: Constructed wetlands (CWs) are sustainable wastewater treatment systems leveraging natural processes to remove pollutants. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) enhance CWs by converting organic matter into bioelectricity via electroactive bacteria [1]. Integrating MFCs with CWs creates hybrid systems that improve treatment efficiency and generate renewable energy. The CW-MFC’s performance factors include d...
We prove that almost every interval exchange transformation, with an associated translation surface of genus ≥2 , can be non-trivially and isometrically embedded in a family of piecewise isometries. In particular, this proves the existence of invariant curves for piecewise isometries, reminiscent of Kolmogorov–Arnold–Moser (KAM) curves for area-preserving maps, which are not unions of circle arcs or line segments.
In this paper, we investigate a class of non-invertible piecewise isometries on the upper half-plane known as Translated Cone Exchanges. These maps include a simple interval exchange on a boundary we call the baseline. We provide a geometric construction for the first return map to a neighbourhood of the vertex of the middle cone for a large class of parameters, then we show a recurrence in the first return map...

We establish conditions for the existence of a family of piecewise linear invariant curves in a two-parameter family of piecewise isometries on the upper half-plane known as Translated Cone Exchange Transformations. We show that these curves are embeddings of interval exchange transformations and give rise to layers of invariant regions. We also show the existence of a trapezoidal piecewise isometry for which t...
