Antecedentes de las consultas de boca-oído online sobre hoteles
2017
Las consultas online sobre productos y servicios antes de la compra han recibido menor atención en la literatura que la generación de comentarios después de la experiencia. Nuestro trabajo aborda, por tanto, el estudio de la conducta de boca-oído online desde la perspectiva del receptor. El objetivo es investigar las variables que contribuyen en la adopción de boca-oído online para tomar la decisión de elección de un hotel. Para ello, se analiza la cadena de relaciones “motivaciones→intención de consultar→volumen→adopción”, considerando tres tipos de motivaciones: conveniencia, riesgo y sociales. Con una muestra de 393 huéspedes de hoteles de 3, 4 y 5 estrellas y a partir de un modelo de ec…
Budesonide in previously untreated autoimmune hepatitis
2005
Background: Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic liver disease that is effectively treated with immunosuppressive therapy. Predniso(lo)ne, often in combination with azathioprine, is the basic therapeutic option to induce remission. However, this regimen can cause numerous side effects. The aim of the present study was to evaluate budesonide as a treatment option in the induction of remission in patients with previously untreated AIH. Methods: Between October 1998 and August 1999, 12 patients were treated with 3 mg budesonide thrice daily for 3 months in this open one-arm multicenter phase IIa study. Primary end point was induction of remission indicated by a drop of aspartate aminotransf…
Unknown primary tumors
2011
An unknown primary tumor (UPT) is defined by the presence of a metastatic cancer without a known primary site of origin despite a standardized diagnostic workup. Clinically, UPTs show rapid progression and early dissemination, with signs and symptoms related to the metastatic site. The molecular bases of their biology remain largely unknown, with no evidence as to whether they represent a distinct biological entity. Immunohistochemistry remain the best diagnostic tool in term of cost-effectiveness, but the time-consuming "algorithmic process" it relies on has led to the application of new molecular techniques for the identification of the primary site of UPTs. For example, several microarra…
Segmentando el mercado de internautas atendiendo a su nivel de afinidad: (I)fuerte, (II)medio y (III)débil
2017
Esta investigación pretende confrontar el Marketing con Causa con el Marketing de Afinidad. Para ello se descompone la audiencia de una campaña de Marketing con Causa viral en segmentos de internautas con distinto nivel de afinidad: i) fuerte (con experiencia previa de marca y de causa); ii) medio (con experiencia previa o de marca o de causa); iii) débil (sin experiencia previa ni de marca ni de causa). El objetivo es justificar la utilidad de este criterio como vía para optimizar el resultado de la comunicación segmentada. Con dicho fin, se ha estudiado un caso real planteado de forma experimental midiendo las actitudes de una muestra de 276 internautas antes y después de visualizar un sp…
Development of a performance threshold approach for identifying the management options for stabilisation/solidification of lead polluted soils
2014
Two soils spiked with lead at different rates were stabilised/solidified using Portland cement and fy ash at different soil:binder ratios, and tested for their setting time, unconfined compressive strength, leachability and durability. A performance threshold approach was used in order to identify optimal management options for the products of the S/S treatment. Results show that soil texture, percentage of binders and lead concentration play an important part in the treatment, significantly influencing the performance of the resulting products in terms of curing, compressive strength and durability. Pb soil concentrations higher than 15000 mg kg-1 were found to heavily reduce the applicab…
Glutamate Excitotoxicity in the Cerebellum Mediated by IL-1β
2013
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the prototypic inflammatory demyelinating disorder of the CNS. Symptoms of cerebellar dysfunction, such as tremors and ataxia, are relatively common in MS, but available treatment options are generally of limited value. Although many clinical manifestations of MS are
Drivers and Restraints in Adopting Information Technology in Firms in E-Business: A Chinese Perspective
2014
This paper studies factors in information technology adoption, on both firm level and individual level, to help further understand organizational innovativeness. Especially, business-strategic and tactical factors affecting the adoption, and particular assimilation-related factors, are studied among interactive firms, also the ways the factors are related. This paper adds to the earlier literature in recognizing and combining factors behind reasoning for and against adopting new technology innovations, on various reasoning-levels. Literature, so far, has been scattered among those, while adoption and assimilation in general have been well modelled. We need to better understand what is signi…
École : l'inégalité des parcours
1997
International audience; Depuis trente ans, l'accès aux études s'est généralisé : les deux tiers d'une classe d'âge sont bacheliers et accèdent aux études supérieures. Pourtant, les parcours scolaires traduisent encore fortement les différences sociales par le jeu des orientations, par le choix des options et par la valeur du diplôme obtenu.
Actitudes hacia la maternidad y el apoyo social como predictores de trastornos emocionales en mujeres jóvenes con cáncer recientemente diagnosticadas…
1970
espanolObjetivo. Mujeres jovenes con cancer pueden beneficiarse de opciones para la preservacion de su fertilidad. Se necesitan estudios que determinen las implicaciones psicologicas de someterse a estas tecnicas y de la propia decision de recibirlas. Este estudio analiza el distres emocional, las preocupaciones sobre la fertilidad, las actitudes ante la maternidad, la satisfaccion con la informacion recibida y el apoyo social en mujeres con cancer que reciben un tratamiento de preservacion de la fertilidad. Metodo. Una muestra de 115 mujeres (edad media 31 anos) recien diagnosticas de cancer fueron evaluadas (Entrevista semiestructurada, Escala de apoyo social percibido, BSI-18) el mismo d…
A Literature Review on Cloud Computing Adoption Issues in Enterprises
2014
Part 3: Creating Value through Applications; International audience; Cloud computing has received increasing interest from enterprises since its inception. With its innovative information technology (IT) services delivery model, cloud computing could add technical and strategic business value to enterprises. However, cloud computing poses highly concerning internal (e.g., Top management and experience) and external issues (e.g., regulations and standards). This paper presents a systematic literature review to explore the current key issues related to cloud computing adoption. This is achieved by reviewing 51 articles published about cloud computing adoption. Using the grounded theory approa…
