Difficulties Perceived by ICU Nurses Providing End-of-Life Care: A Qualitative Study
2020
Background: With advances in medicine and technology, intensive care units (ICUs) have the capacity to treat patients who would have previously not been expected to survive and would therefore not have been managed in ICUs. When an individual is not expected to survive, doctors and nurses face the modern ethical dilemma of death associated with withdrawal of life-supporting strategies. The aim of this study was to identify difficulties perceived by ICU nurses providing end-of-life care (EOLC) in Poland. Methods: The qualitative study was designed to investigate the difficulties, and the related barriers, to EOLC provided in ICUs in Poland. We conducted individual telephone interviews with I…
Nursing competence in municipal in-patient acute care in Norway: a cross-sectional study
2020
Abstract Background The primary health care services are becoming increasingly complex, which presents challenges for the municipal nursing services. In Norway, municipal in-patient acute care (MipAC) has been introduced in all municipalities, and the competence at the services has been questioned. Few studies have examined the nursing services in the units. This study aims to get an overview of the nursing competence in those units across geographical regions, and different groups of organisation and localisation. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted, and an ad hoc questionnaire was distributed to first-line leaders in all the MipAC units in Norway. Data were collected in the peri…
La gastronomía bien templada. La cocina quechua
2005
Un acercamiento al léxico sobre cocina en lengua quechua nos podría proporcionar algunas claves sobre su importancia en tiempos del imperio inca y sobre la que tiene, en el momento presente, la cocina patrimonial del Perú . No hace mucho un hablante de quechua nos decía convencido : " Piru llaqta wayk'uyninqa sumaqnin" (" la cocina de Perú es realmente exquisita").
Las lenguas como patrimonio : el principio de prioridad
2000
El primer paso en todo aquello que comprende el ámbito patrimonial es el reconocimiento de la herencia recibida. Luego hay otros: su conservación y ampliación y finalmente su transmisión a los descendientes.Todo esto ha sucedido con el quechua y el aimara en Perú, como si la lengua fuera ajena a los bienes nacionales. Es tan sagrada una piedra de Machu Picchu como una palabra de estas lenguas: tan importante es el lntiwatana, anteayer descubierto y hoy lacerado, como el significado de sus dos lexemas juntos lnti "sol", watay "atar, calcular su recorrido".

Dalla tessitura del presente alle reinvenzioni spaziali. Un caso di studio a Raccuja (Me)
2022
Il saggio di Santo Giunta riflettere sul rapporto tra restauro e rifunzionalizzazione di un edificio storico, focalizzando l’attenzione su un’opera di Pasquale Culotta a Raccuja (ME). Il saggio è pubblicato in un libro, curato da Calogero Marzullo, che nasce dalla volontà di rileggere alcune riflessioni su ricerche e sperimentazioni di diversi autori che dialogano tra loro per tentare di definire il valore del progetto di architettura. Nel caso di studio in esame il progetto non è solo la rispondenza funzionale di elementi riconoscibili tra le proposte strutturali e culturali, ma tiene conto delle forme della vita contemporanea, di una socialità interagente e di confine. La qualità emotiva …
Carsharing business models in Germany: characteristics, success and future prospects
2017
Carsharing provides an alternative to private car ownership by allowing car use temporarily on an on-demand basis. Operators provide carsharing services using different business models and ownership structures. We distinguish between cooperative, business-to-consumer (B2C) roundtrip and one-way, as well as peer-topeer (P2P) carsharing. This paper characterizes these different types of business models and compares their success in terms of diffusion using a comprehensive database of all 101 German carsharing providers in 2016. The key result holds that fleet size is significantly different across business models ranging from a few cars (cooperatives in small towns), to a few hundred (B2C rou…
How perceived value drives the use of mobile financial services apps
2019
Mobile information services have revolutionized business models and service delivery methods by facilitating consumer access to information and order placement via mobile apps. In developed markets, mobile banking (m-banking) and mobile payment (m-payment) applications have replaced text-based mobile services. However, extant research has not addressed these mobile financial services apps (MFSAs) adequately from the perspective of consumer behavior. Thus, the present study developed and tested a series of hypotheses related to the antecedents of perceived value of MFSA use; it also examined how such use affects the development of customers’ overall relationships with banks. Our hypotheses w…
