Based on theoretical approaches on quality management of tourist services, this paper aims to analyze the activity of the largest travel agency in Romania - Happy Tour and assess the possibilitie…
Predictors of health-related quality of life in Serbian patients with head and neck cancer.
2021
The aim of this study was to identify predictors of the Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in patients with head and neck cancers (HNCs). In total, 345 patients with HNCs were interviewed. A self-report questionnaire was administered to collect data about demographic characteristics, health status, smoking, alcohol consumption habits, and HRQoL. It were used the EORTC Instruments - Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30-questions (QLQ-C30), Quality of Life Questionnaire - Head and Neck Module 35-questions (QLQ-H&N 35) and OHIP-14 instrument for HRQoL assessments. Clinical information and treatment data were collected from medical records. Five groups of HRQoL predictors were identified: …

Assessment of sleep disturbances with the athlete sleep screening questionnaire in Chinese athletes.
2021
This study investigated the factors that are associated with sleep disturbances among Chinese athletes. Sleep quality and associated factors were assessed by the Athlete Sleep Screening Questionnaire (ASSQ, n = 394, aged 18–32 years, 47.6% female). Sleep difficulty score (SDS) and level of sleep problem (none, mild, moderate, or severe) were used to classify participants' sleep quality. Categorical variables were analyzed by Chi-square or fisher's exact tests. An ordinal logistic regression analysis was used to explore factors with poor sleep (SDS ≥8). Approximately 14.2% of participants had moderate to severe sleep problem (SDS ≥8). Fifty-nine percent of the athletes reported sleep distu…

Parental Self-Efficacy and Child Diet Quality between Ages 2 and 5 : The STEPS Study
2022
Parental self-efficacy (PSE), a measure of the subjective competence in the parental role, has been linked with child well-being and health. Research on the influence of PSE on child eating habits is scarce, and the few studies have concentrated on certain food groups, such as vegetables or fruits, and have mostly included only maternal PSE. Thus, the aim of this study was to explore the associations between PSE (separately for mothers and fathers and as a total family-level score) and child diet quality in a cross-sectional and longitudinal study setting. PSE was measured at child ages of 1.5 and 5 years, and diet quality was measured at ages 2 and 5. Participants are from the Steps to Hea…
La qualità del sughero: metodologie di valutazione e norme tecniche per il sughero grezzo e per i prodotti derivati.
2007
La possibilità di ritrarre dal sughero prodotti derivati dipende fortemente dalla sua qualità. Il termine «qualità» del sughero non è sostenuto da chiari riferimenti normativi e non esiste, allo stato attuale, una metodologia oggettiva per la sua valutazione univocamente accettata. In questi ultimi anni si sta producendo uno sforzo teso all’oggettivazione di metodologie di valutazione della qualità del sughero attraverso la definizione di norme di classificazione e standardizzazione dei prodotti ritraibili e/o attraverso sperimentazioni concernenti l’applicazione sul sughero grezzo o sui prodotti derivati di particolari tecniche utilizzate in altri campi scientifici e/o su altri materiali. …
Associations between teacher quality, instructional quality and student reading outcomes in Nordic PIRLS 2016 data
2022
AbstractProgress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) focuses on the reading proficiency of students mostly in the fourth year of schooling. A wide selection of studies has shown that family background and early literacy activities at home have substantial associations with student achievement in reading literacy. However, research focusing on teacher qualities and teaching processes is inadequate. In this study, we focus on associations of teacher quality (formal qualifications and professional identity) and instructional quality (classroom management, cognitive activation and teacher support) with cognitive and affective-motivational student outcomes (variables Reading Achievem…
Bioactive Compounds, Nutritional Quality and Antioxidant Capacity of the Red-Fleshed Kirkwood Navel and Ruby Valencia Oranges
2022
Kirkwood Navel and Ruby Valencia are two spontaneous bud-mutations of the ordinary Washington Navel and Valencia late oranges characterized by the red coloration of their flesh. The purpose of this study was to analyze the physiological features, internal fruit quality, contents of relevant bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity in the pulps of the red-fleshed fruits compared with the ordinary oranges during late development and maturation. In general, the content of sugars, organic acids, vitamin C, tocopherols, total phenolics and flavonoids, the hydrophilic antioxidant capacity and their changes during maturation were similar in the red-fleshed oranges and in the corresponding blon…
