Study on the Linezolid Prescription According to the Approval of Indication in a University Hospital.
2015
Indications for linezolid use are nosocomial or community-acquired pneumonia and skin infections or soft tissue infection caused by gram-positive microorganisms, but new recommendations may emerge. It is important to balance benefits with risks because severe adverse events have been described in patients taking linezolid treatment. Accordingly, we evaluated the suitability of linezolid prescription according to approval of indication by evaluating the presence of drug-related problems (DRP) in a University hospital. DRP were identified in 36 patients (50.0%). In most cases, they were related to known or established indications (15 patients, 20.8%), to safety (5 patients, 6.9%), and to both…
Trans-boundary land cover changes and its influences on water crisis: Case study of the Aras River
2020
Abstract In a watershed, disturbing land covers (LCs) are one of the most important factors in the balance and flow rate of water. This study aimed to monitor and model LC changes in the upstream of the Aras River Basin in Turkey over 1984, 2002, 2010 and 2016. The main ground to conduct such an analysis was to mitigate severe economic, social and ecological consequences driven by agricultural activities and dam construction along with probable climate change, which would decrease the water flow from the Aras River to Caspian Sea. The study approach consisted of four main steps: 1) producing LC maps using Landsat satellite images, 2) performing the change analysis, 3) identifying the change…
Analysis of the impact on tourism of the megaproject-based urban development strategy. The case of the city of Valencia
2017
Desde finales de los años 80 del pasado siglo, las ciudades europeas están desarrollando políticas de gestión urbana en la línea de lo que se ha venido en denominar city-marketing, urban-branding, o urbanismo neoliberal. El objetivo de estas políticas es posicionar a la ciudad en el contexto internacional potenciando su singularidad, para lo cual la principal estrategia ha sido la construcción de mega-edificios y la organización de eventos con impacto en los medios de comunicación globales. El aumento de la atractividad turística en las ciudades es utilizado como un indicador de éxito de dichas políticas. La ciudad de Valencia no ha sido ajena a este tipo de estrategias. El presente artícul…
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on urological practice in emergency departments in Italy
2020
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) and the disease it causes, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), are causing a rapid and tragic health emergency worldwide [1,2]. Italy was the first European country to experience a virus outbreak, starting on 21 February 2020. It resulted in a national quarantine, and the official lockdown of the country’s non-essential businesses and services began on 9 March 2020. Although several reports are available in the literature providing recommendations for the reorganization of clinical and surgical activities [3–7], to our knowledge, no data are available on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the outcomes of other medical conditi…
Balansen mellom kontekstuelle krav og pasientenes behov : ergoterapeuters erfaringer knyttet til eldre pasienters overgangsfase fra sykehus til eget …
2014
Background and aim: Coping in daily activities when discharged from hospital to own home can be challenging for older people. Internationally, there is a number of studies on this topic, but similar studies in Norway and Nordic countries seem to be scarce. The aim of this study was to illuminate occupational therapists’ experiences of how to promote coping of daily activities in older patients who are discharged from hospital to home. Methods: A qualitative design with individual interviews was used. A purposive sample of eight occupational therapists were included, four worked in hospitals and four in community health services, respectively. Initially the interviews had an open form, but a…
Balancing food waste and sustainability goals in online food delivery: Towards a comprehensive conceptual framework
2022
Increasing food waste is a major threat to sustainability and food security. Recognizing the issue, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12 mandates reducing global food waste by 50 percent by 2030. This situation has also given impetus to academic research on consumer food waste in both household and out-of-home settings. However, food delivery apps (FDAs) remain under-researched from this perspective. This is a serious gap because operating under a business model that inherently facilitates food over-ordering, FDAs can be a major source of food waste. Understanding the demand-side factors that drive consumers to order more food than required to satiate their hunger can be…

Climatic change and thermal comfort. Effects on the tourism industry in the region of Valencia
2020
El cambio climático comienza a manifestar efectos en las actividades económicas de la Comunidad Valenciana. El turismo es una parte fundamental de su economía, puesto que representa el 15% de su PIB regional. La modalidad de “sol y playa” es la principal actividad turística en el territorio valenciano, de ahí la importancia del análisis de las alteraciones que están experimentando los elementos climáticos debido a su efecto en el recurso turístico y en las preferencias de la demanda. La pérdida del “confort climático”, el aumento de las noches “tropicales” (Tª > 20ºC), el incremento de la temperatura del agua de mar Mediterráneo y la adaptación a los extremos atmosféricos (olas de calor, ll…

A framework for identifying the legacies of a mega sport event
2015
A mega sport event involves huge investments in city infrastructure. After the event, the structures that remain may be an asset to the stakeholders, or they may be a burden. Faced with high costs, the taxpayer demands that the event-related social, economic and ecological changes will in the end have improved living conditions for the host city. But it is not easy to identify sport event legacies in their entirety, because event-related changes may be confused with non-event-related development, and because a wide variety of areas and stakeholders are affected. This paper looks at how to identify legacies, who is affected by the legacies, how long they last, and how to judge whether a lega…
