Business Tourism Market Developments
2014
Abstract This paper analyzes the developments of business tourism market in the current economic environment. Internationally, business tourism has reached impressive levels; the World Tourism Organization estimated it at over 14% of the tourist movement and nearly 20% of all tourist revenues. Given the close connections with diverse areas, the business tourism was marked recently by an increasing trend closely related to the overall economic development manifested worldwide, with the opening of new markets, the intensification of international relations and contacts of all kinds.
A Counter-Reformation Reaction to Slovenian and Croatian Protestantism: The Symbol of St. Athanasius in a Creed of 1624
2018
During the second half of the 16th century, Istria was influenced by the Lutheran ideas disseminated by the Slovene Primoz Trubar. According to recent researches, between 1561 and 1565, the followers of Trubar Stjepan Konzul and Anton Dalmatin, with the financial support of Baron Hans Ungnad von Sonneg, translated and transliterated fourteen books into Croatian with Glagolitic script, eight or nine into Cyrillic, six into Croatian with Latin script, four into Slovenian, six into Italian and one into German. Given that their “Slovenian, Croatian and Cyrillic Printing House” (Windische, Crabatische und Cirulitsche Thrukeray) of Urach, a city nearby Tubingen, was responsible for printing more …
Why do university students choose tourism degrees? Interests analysis and employ-ment expectations for students from Universitat de València
2019
Las expectativas del alumnado que determinan la elección de una titulación en Turismo condicionan sus conductas durante y después de sus estudios. Para identificar estas expectativas se realizó una encuesta al alumnado de Turismo de primer curso. Un análisis factorial nos ha permitido identificar los factores de mayor peso en la elección: Internacionalización, Expectativas de empleo, Emprendimiento, Importancia del sector e Interés por la titulación. Finalmente, se ha completado el estudio analizando sus expectativas sobre las salidas profesionales vinculadas al ámbito turístico. Interests that drive students to choose a Tourism degree will condition their behaviour in their studies and lat…
La integración de la educación ambiental en la formación periodística como proyecto de innovación docente
2012
El reconocimiento del papel de los medios de comunicación como constructores de la realidad y como educadores informales en la sociedad actual inspira la acción educativa que se presenta como proyecto de innovación docente en la práctica universitaria. El objetivo de esta intervención pretende potenciar la reflexión crítica y activar el proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje en torno a la problemática ambiental relacionándola con la actualidad periodística y las rutinas productivas de los medios en la asignatura Fundamentos de la Comunicación Periodística que se imparte en el primer curso de los Grados de Ciencias de la Comunicación. En concreto, la integración de la Educación ambiental en la formac…

Medios de comunicación y escándalos de corrupción en España: ¿denunciantes, magnificadores, cómplices? (Media and corruption scandals in Spain: plain…
2013
Partiendo de la idea según la cual el periodismo es, en regímenes de tradición liberal democrática, un freno a la arbitrariedad de los que gobiernan y de que los medios de comunicación, y en especial la prensa escrita, han acometido la tarea de vigilancia de los casos de corrupción acaecidos en la España democrática, se indaga sobre los mecanismos que dificultan el ejercicio de un periodismo de denuncia de la corrupción política y se proponen orientaciones para acercar la ética periodística a la ética cívica propia de la democracia. | Starting from the idea that journalism is, in liberal democratic regimes tradition, a brake on the arbitrariness of those who govern and that the media, parti…
The case for strategic international alliances to harness nutritional genomics for public and personal health
2005
Nutrigenomics is the study of how constituents of the diet interact with genes, and their products, to alter phenotype and, conversely, how genes and their products metabolise these constituents into nutrients, antinutrients, and bioactive compounds. Results from molecular and genetic epidemiological studies indicate that dietary unbalance can alter gene-nutrient interactions in ways that increase the risk of developing chronic disease. The interplay of human genetic variation and environmental factors will make identifying causative genes and nutrients a formidable, but not intractable, challenge. We provide specific recommendations for how to best meet this challenge and discuss the need …
De novo GRIN2A variants associated with epilepsy and autism and literature review
2021
N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDAR) are di- or tri-heterotetrameric ligand-gated ion channels composed of two obligate glycine-binding GluN1 subunits and two glutamate-binding GluN2 or GluN3 subunits, encoded by GRIN1, GRIN2A–D, and GRIN3A–B receptor genes respectively. Each NMDA receptor subtype has different temporal and spatial expression patterns in the brain and varies in the cell types and subcellular localization resulting in different functions. They play a crucial role in mediating the excitatory neurotransmission, but are also involved in neuronal development and synaptic plasticity, essential for learning, memory, and high cognitive functions. Among genes coding NMDAR subunits…
Slow magnetic fluctuations and superconductivity in fluorine-doped NdFeAsO
2015
Among the widely studied superconducting iron-pnictide compounds belonging to the Ln1111 family (with Ln a lanthanide), a systematic investigation of the crossover region between the superconducting and the antiferromagnetic phase for the Ln = Nd case has been missing. We fill this gap by focusing on the intermediate doping regime of NdFeAsO(1-x)F(x) by means of dc-magnetometry and muon-spin spectroscopy measurements. The long-range order we detect at low fluorine doping is replaced by short-range magnetic interactions at x = 0.08, where also superconductivity appears. In this case, longitudinal-field muon-spin spectroscopy experiments show clear evidence of slow magnetic fluctuations that …
Oralidad en las bitácoras de viaje 2.0
2014
El objetivo de este trabajo es el análisis de los rasgos típicos de la oralidad en un determinado tipo de texto escrito: el de los blogs turísticos, usando un corpus de 25 bitácoras digitales en español. En este estudio se tratará el estilo, el léxico, las características morfosintácticas propias del lenguaje oral y coloquial, así como estrategias comunicativas de las nuevas tecnologías para suplir la oralidad. The aim of this paper is to analyze the typical features of orality in a specific type of written text, that is digital travel blogs, by using a corpus of 25 weblogs written in Spanish. In this article, we will study the style, vocabulary and morphosyntactic characteristics of spoken…
