Multi-destination trips: A survey on incoming zourism in Sicily

2012

Many pleasure trips are often characterized by the visit of more than a single destination. Despite the topic is well documented in literature, the empirical studies are limited to a few pioneering studies. This lack may be attributable to the failure of tourism organizations to collect data on multi-destination trip behaviors, as it results, for example, from the system of European statistics on tourism (according to the Council Directive 95/57 EC), where no information on the average number of destinations visited within a single trip are provided. This paper aims to analyze the main implications of multi-destination trips both on tourism statistics and in tourism planning, and to describ…

Satisfacción con la Vida y Factores Asociados en una Muestra de Menores Infractores

2018

El objetivo de esta investigación es, por un lado, conocer la relación existente entre el apoyo social percibido, la empatía emocional y cognitiva, la satisfacción con la vida, la expresión de ira como rasgo y cinco dimensiones del autoconcepto −académico, social, emocional, familiar y físico− en una muestra de residentes en un centro de reeducación de menores infractores en cumplimiento de medidas judiciales. Por otro lado, el trabajo pretende conocer cuáles son las variables que mejor predicen la satisfacción con la vida en la misma muestra. Los principales resultados son la existencia de correlaciones positivas de satisfacción con la vida con apoyo social y autoconcepto, así como que el …

Visualization of inert gas wash-out during high-frequency oscillatory ventilation using fluorine-19 MRI

2010

High-frequency oscillatory ventilation is looked upon as a lung-protective ventilation strategy. For a further clarification of the physical processes promoting gas transport, a visualization of gas flow and the distribution of ventilation are of considerable interest. Therefore, fluorine-19 magnetic resonance imaging of the imaging gas octafluorocyclobutane (C(4) F(8) ) during high-frequency oscillatory ventilation was performed in five healthy pigs. For that, a mutually compatible ventilation-imaging system was set up and transverse images were acquired every 5 sec using FLASH sequences on a 1.5 T scanner. Despite a drop in signal-to-noise ratio after the onset of high-frequency oscillato…

Cardiovascular and Other Health Benefits of Sauna Bathing:A Review of the Evidence

2018

Sauna bathing, an activity that has been a tradition in Finland for thousands of years and mainly used for the purposes of pleasure and relaxation, is becoming increasingly popular in many other populations. Emerging evidence suggests that beyond its use for pleasure, sauna bathing may be linked to several health benefits, which include reduction in the risk of vascular diseases such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and neurocognitive diseases; nonvascular conditions such as pulmonary diseases; mortality; as well as amelioration of conditions such as arthritis, headache, and flu. The beneficial effects of sauna bathing on these outcomes have been linked to its effect on circu…

Die CO 2 -Messung im Atemgas

1997

UNLABELLED Currently, even in prehospital emergency medicine (PEM), continuous end-tidal CO2 monitoring is frequently used as a sensitive and non-invasive technique in ventilated patients. Due to its central role, the continuous measurement of exhaled CO2 provides immediate information about the status of three essential functions of the organism: ventilation, circulation, and metabolism. METHODS Recent literature, obtained by a computer-guided search (Winspirs), and product information of all currently available capnometry devices were reviewed in detail. Firstly, the theoretical background of different CO2-measurement methods and techniques is described. Secondly, indications and specific…

An Integrated Framework for Web Services Orchestration

2009

International audience; Currently, Web services give place to active research and this is due both to industrial and theoretical factors. On one hand, Web services are essential as the design model of applications dedicated to the electronic business. On the other hand, this model aims to become one of the major formalisms for the design of distributed and cooperative applications in an open environment (the Internet). In this article, the authors will focus on two features of Web services. The first one concerns the interaction problem: given the interaction protocol of a Web service described in BPEL, how to generate the appropriate client? Their approach is based on a formal semantics fo…

Adenosine activates a potassium conductance in guinea-pig atrial heart muscle.

1983

Adenosine shortens the action potential and diminishes the force of contraction in guinea-pig left atria. These effects may be brought about by the activation of a potassium conductance. This assumption is supported by voltage clamp and 42K release experiments.
