Good night, sleep well! As a matter of fact, these words are not precisely addressed to you; they are merely intended to recall the terms used in the family and among friends to wish one other a good night, before going to bed.

Vor dem Jahre 1938 gab es keine regelmässige Fremdenverkehrsstatistik für ganz Dänemark. Für Kopenhagen wird seit 1864 eine Statistik über die Anzahl der in den Kopenhagener Hotels ankommenden in‐ und ausländischen Reisenden geführt. Aber erst nach dem Jahre 1926 wurden Reisende dänischer und fremder Staatsangehörigkeit gesondert ausgezählt.

First I would like to thank you for the great honour of being allowed to state my point of view on some, in my opinion very important, problems of tourism to‐day.

La réunion des experts scientifiques du tourisme à Lugano, au printemps 1949, avait ce caractère intime, presque familier, qui naissait de la première prise de contact entre amis. Animés du même désir de jeter les bases de la recherche scientifique à l'échelon international, le cercle de Lugano avait pleinement conscience de faire œuvre de pionnier et de tenter une expérience dont l'issue semblait au moins incertaine.

This paper contains a theoretically inspired discussion of recent Norwegian controversies related to the management of public library space as a civil public sphere.

This study engages with theories of civil public spheres and their application within a Nordic context. The theories are applied in discussions of recent controversies related to the management of Norwegian public libraries as civil public spheres, as represented in professional journals and press articles.

Through the discussion, it becomes apparent that the value of neutrality and librarians' inclusive practices on the part of societal minorities might be conflicting when managing public libraries as civil public spheres.

This paper engages with recent library controversies in Norway and discusses them in light of recent scholarly work on library activism in a Nordic context, as well as recent theorizations of civil public spheres in the Nordic countries. It thus connects ongoing discussions among Norwegian librarians with recent library research and ongoing theorization of civil public spheres within the Nordic model.

This study aims to show how diary-style voice recordings can be used to provide social marketers with greater insights into the influences on behaviour than those obtained from interviews. Diary data have the potential to provide deeper insight into the causes of behaviour than can be obtained from retrospective interviews or surveys.

Data were collected from 31 smokers and attempting quitters exploring their attributions for smoking and cigarette purchase, using both face-to face interviews and event-contingent voice recordings over a four-day period, with participants asked to make a recording whenever they were tempted to smoke or buy cigarettes.

Voice recordings provided additional insights into the influences on smoking and cigarette purchase compared to face-to-face interviews. In particular, voice recordings appeared to provide insight into prompts for purchase and smoking that were not recalled during interviews, and, for some respondents, gave them greater control over unwanted behaviour.

The study relies on participants’ self-reports, and individuals may be unaware of some of the influences on their behaviour.

The study shows that voice-recordings offer a novel method of obtaining insight into subtle influences on consumer behaviour that are insufficiently salient to be recalled in retrospective interviews.

The study shows the value of voice recordings for providing near-real-time insights into triggers for different behaviours, and offers potential for extending the method into other areas of social marketing.
