Buying Intentions Influenced by Various Determinants in Tourism
2014
Marketing has acquired a central role in tourism because it helps organizations to create value in transactions with buyers. Thus, this important area of any business process is used to educate consumers, to add value to their experience in tourism, and to seek new ways to reward loyalty through innovative schemes (e.g., programs for frequent travelers). This paper presents the examination of the responses of 154 tourists in relation to their intention to purchase a travel package and the factors that are usually decisive in the decision making process regarding tourism services, factors that could also create the loyalty that any tourism enterprise can create through marketing.
Recaída locorregional en mujeres con cáncer de mama portadoras de mutación BRCA tratadas mediante cirugía conservadora
2015
El cáncer de mama (CM) representa la quinta causa de muerte por cáncer en todo el mundo y la segunda en los países desarrollados. El conocimiento de los factores de riesgo que predisponen a padecerlo permite poder desarrollar una prevención primaria y secundaria adecuada, con el fin de disminuir la incidencia de CM en el primer caso y realizar un diagnóstico precoz en el segundo. Entre un 5-10% de los casos de CM presentan una causa hereditaria asociándose a mutaciones principalmente en los genes BRCA1 y BRCA2 ocasionando el conocido Síndrome de CM y cáncer de Ovario (CO) Hereditario. Las personas portadoras de estas alteraciones presentan un alto riesgo de padecer CM , que oscila entre el …

Global epidemiology of coronavirus disease 2019 and lessons for effective control of this and future pandemics
2021
Barely 1 year after severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) was first reported in China, the virus has infected approximately 120 million people, caused around 3 million deaths, and adversely affected the global economy Despite stringent measures to flatten the epidemiologic curve of the pandemic, there have been spikes and waves of the infection in many countries, particularly in the American, European, and Asian continents This review critically evaluated the global epidemiology of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) to provide advice on other possible ways of managing the disease as various COVID-19 vaccines are being rolled out To effectively control this …

Assessing the profitability of investment projects using ordered fuzzy numbers
2019
Background: This article is motivated by the fact that most approaches to capital budgeting are deterministic. In reality, the capital budgeting problem is accompanied by the uncertainty and risk associated with dealing with imprecise data. Taking this uncertainty into account when performing analyses and calculations not only helps to better measure the profitability of investment projects, but also to expand the applicability of capital budgeting methods under real-life or uncertain conditions. The major contribution of this paper is the development of a novel approach to assessing the profitability of an investment project in the presence of uncertainty. Methods: We present a novel appro…
Oscillation of Second-Order Neutral Differential Equations
2013
Author's version of an article in the journal: Funkcialaj Ekvacioj. Also available from the publisher at: http://www.math.kobe-u.ac.jp/~fe/ We study oscillatory behavior of a class of second-order neutral differential equations relating oscillation of these equations to existence of positive solutions to associated first-order functional differential inequalities. Our assumptions allow applications to differential equations with both delayed and advanced arguments, and not only. New theorems complement and improve a number of results reported in the literature. Two illustrative examples are provided.
Fuzzy logic-decision-making system dedicated to evaluation of logistics project effectiveness
2016
Background: Project effectiveness is synonymous with project success. It is measured or assessed in terms of the degree to which project objectives are achieved. This paper presents an approach to evaluating the effectiveness of logistics projects. The starting point is the analysis of the current state of knowledge in the area of assessing project effectiveness, including logistics projects. The purpose of the study was to identify the critical factors determining the success of logistics projects and develop a model of logistics project effectiveness. Methods: The paper is based on the available recent scientific-theoretical research and publications and on practical studies in 25 enterpr…
The article a(n) in English quantifying expressions: A default marker of cardinality
2020
Certain English quantificational expressions feature what appears to be an indefinite article, e.g. 'a bunch, a few, a hundred'. These can be divided into three types of quantifying expressions: pseudopartitives ('a lot, a bunch, a ton'), article-requiring quantifiers ('a few, a couple, a hundred'), and article-free quantifiers ('three, many, several'); article-free quantifiers have an article under certain circumstances, e.g. modification by an adjective ('a surprising 30 …'). While standard analyses would take the article in these expressions to be a D head, it is argued here that the article is not in D, nor is it singular or count, as evidenced by its (lack of an) interaction with verba…
