Campsite choice and the camping tourism experience: Investigating decisive campsite attributes using relevance-determinance analysis
2017
Abstract Camping tourism represents a growing part of the overall tourism industry. Despite this fact, this form of tourism has so far been rather neglected by tourism and hospitality research. Using a case study of a major campsite operator in the coastal part of Croatia, this study thus aims to contribute to the understanding of this specific tourist segment. In particular, a relevance-determinance analysis is conducted to reveal most decisive attributes for campsite choice, on the one hand, and for the actual campsite experience, on the other hand. Overall, the results provide valuable insight to practitioners, especially for the purposes of campsite marketing and experience management.
A new Diplura species from Georgia caves, Plusiocampa (Plusiocampa) imereti (Diplura, Campodeidae), with morphological and molecular data
2021
A new dipluran species, Plusiocampa (Plusiocampa) imereti Sendra & Barjadze sp. nov., from the deep zone in three caves in the Imereti region, Georgia, is described. This new troglobitic Plusiocampa is an addition to four others known Diplura from around the Black Sea region, two Dydimocampa and two Plusiocampa s. str. The present study also provides the first CO1 sequences for the Plusiocampinae taxa and the first molecular data for cave-dwelling Plusiocampa species. Although bootstrap values were low, the maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree grouped Plusiocampa (P.) imereti Sendra & Barjadze sp. nov. with two Plusiocampa s. str. species from Eastern Europe. Morphologically, P. (P.…
Par emigrācijas (no Liepājas uz Kanādu) demogrāfisko ietekmi laika posmā no 1906. līdz 1914. gadam
2021
Darbā tiek apskatīta emigrācijas plūsma no Krievijas Impērijas uz Kanādu caur Libau (mūsdienās – Liepāju) ostu laika posmā no 1906. – 1914. gadam, kad starp Libau un Ziemeļameriku bija tieša jūras ceļu satiksme. Pētījuma pamatā ir oriģinālie kuģniecības manifesti, kas tiek salīdzināti un pretstatīti akadēmiskajiem pētījumiem par dažādām emigrantu grupām Kanādā. Pieejamie dati par galvenajām etniskajām grupām astoņu gadu posmā tiek salīdzināti, pretstatīti un papildināti ar aptaujāto emigrantu, kas emigrējuši no Krievijas Impērijas uz Kanādu šajā laika posmā, pēcteču teikto un Libau ostas apstākļu analīzi šīs emigrācijas laikā, kas balstīta šī laika krievu, britu, amerikāņu, ebreju un latvie…
Un palacio para un héroe: la representación del Sagrado Palacio Imperial de Constantinopla en el "Tirant lo Blanc"
2014
Joannot Martorell recovers the Gran Palacio Imperial de Constantinople in the Greek chapter of Tirant lo Blanch, in order to provide a symbolic space to the heroic projection of his main character. Tirant achieves in the fiction an impossible dream even in reality. Uses the capital of Bosphorus as a symbol for a real New Rome and rescues an enclosure that in the Christian sphere becomes the heir of the ancient Empire. In this article we will analyze with detail the resources employed by Martorell to recreate the palace environment and value the contribution of the literary text as a source for History of Art.

On the Determinants of the Going Public Decision in Spain
2008
Though the going public decision has been addressed by several theories, empirical research is particularly scarce to European countries. This is the first research in the Spanish market that investigates ex ante and ex post characteristics of IPO firms, using a large database of private held firms that potentially may go public. Some of our results are consistent with previous studies. Our evidence suggests that firms that go public are young firms with large capital expenditures previously to the IPO. However, a firm's need to finance activity is not the main motive to go public, but to achieve the proper conditions to rebalance firm's economic and financial structure. Our results are con…

Cartography an a strategy of empire in Historia General de los Hechos de los Castellanos en las Islas i Tierra firme del Mar Océano by Antonio de Her…
2014
Argumentamos que Herrera intenta legitimizar el control español del Imperio al imponer una universalidad euro-céntrica católica a dicho imperio a través de su aplicación de las iconografías estratégicas, religiosas e imperialistas enraizadas dentro de un programa cartográfico. “La idea de una verdad imperial fue esencial para que los españoles tuviesen una convicción en una experiencia imperial significativa ” y lo que se afirma aquí es que la inclusión de elementos cartográficos presta credibilidad a esta percepción de la verdad. Aunque los académicos críticos cartográficos ahora reconocen que los mapas son subjetivos y producto de la época y de las opiniones de sus creadores, la suposició…

Antimicrobial susceptibility of nine udder pathogens recovered from bovine clinical mastitis milk in Europe 2015–2016: VetPath results
2020
International audience; VetPath is an ongoing pan-European antimicrobial susceptibility monitoring programme collecting pathogens from diseased cattle, pigs and poultry not recently treated with antibiotics. Non-duplicate isolates (n = 1244) were obtained from cows with acute clinical mastitis in eight countries during 2015-2016 for centrally antimicrobial susceptibility testing according CLSI standards. Among Escherichia coli (n = 225), resistance was high to ampicillin and tetracycline, moderate to kanamycin and low to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid and cefazolin. The MIC50/90 of danofloxacin, enrofloxacin and marbofloxacin were 0.03 and 0.06 μg/mL. For Klebsiella spp. (n = 70), similar resu…
