What motivates the adoption of green restaurant products and services? A systematic review and future research agenda

2021

Issues regarding green restaurants have received significant scholarly and practitioner attention in the last decade, particularly concerning why consumers adopt green restaurants. Although several reviews exist on green hospitality, a comprehensive review of the literature on consumers' green restaurant adoption is currently lacking. The following systematic literature review examines 50 research studies published on the consumer adoption of green restaurant services to address this gap accordingly. Through a detailed content analysis, the research profile and thematic analysis are presented. The review further identifies four key thematic foci: (a) consumer behavior variables studied, (b)…

Speculative and hedging activities in the European Carbon Market

2015

Abstract We explore the dynamics of the speculative and hedging activities in European futures carbon markets by using volume and open interest data. A comparison of the three phases in the European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS) reveals that (i) Phase II of the EU ETS seems to be the most speculative phase to date and (ii) the highest degree of speculative activity for every single phase occurs at the moment of listing the contracts for the first time. A seasonality analysis identifies a higher level of speculation in the first quarter of each year, related to the schedule of deadlines of the EU ETS. In addition, a time series analysis confirms that most of the speculative activity…

Motor and linguistic linking of space and time in the cerebellum

2009

Background: Recent literature documented the presence of spatial-temporal interactions in the human brain. The aim of the present study was to verify whether representation of past and future is also mapped onto spatial representations and whether the cerebellum may be a neural substrate for linking space and time in the linguistic domain. We asked whether processing of the tense of a verb is influenced by the space where response takes place and by the semantics of the verb. Principal Findings: Responses to past tense were facilitated in the left space while responses to future tense were facilitated in the right space. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the right cereb…

Reformulación y necesidad de una nueva geografía regional flexible

2001

Joaquin.Farinos@uv.es FARINÓS DASÍ, Joaquin. La recuperación del territorio en el seno de las ciencias sociales ha provocado la reemergencia de la Geografía Regional. Si inicialmente su orientación fue primordialmente económica hoy es política, tanto desde el punto de vista de las policies como de la polity, aglutinadas hoy en torno a la planificación del desarrollo territorial. Ésta representa una oportunidad estratégica para la revalorización social de la Geografía y para el desarrollo de nuevas metodologías. Retrieval of territory by social sciences has promoted reemergence of Regional Geography. Even though initially his course was basically economic now is political, both from policy a…

La explicación del riesgo de sequía en la Geografía escolar. Una exploración desde los manuales escolares de Ciencias Sociales (Educación Primaria)

2021

espanolEn la region mediterranea uno de los principales riesgos naturales son las sequias. Este fenomeno se ha agravado en las ultimas decadas debido al incremento de la vulnerabilidad asociadas a actividades humanas y, segun los escenarios futuros de cambio climatico, se preve que aumente la peligrosidad (mayor intensidad y frecuencia de los periodos secos). El objetivo de este trabajo es llevar a cabo un analisis de como se explica el riesgo de sequia en los manuales escolares de Ciencias Sociales (3er ciclo de Educacion Primaria) en la Comunidad Valenciana (Espana). A partir de la consulta de estos recursos (las 5 editoriales mas utilizadas), los resultados obtenidos indican que esta tem…

Associations Between Reasons to Go Outdoors and Objectively-Measured Walking Activity in Various Life-Space Areas Among Older People.

2015

This cross-sectional study investigated associations between reasons to go outdoors and objectively-measured walking activity in various life-space areas among older people. During the study, 174 community-dwelling older people aged 75–90 from central Finland wore an accelerometer over seven days and recorded their reasons to go outdoors in an activity diary. The most common reasons for going outdoors were shopping, walking for exercise, social visits, and running errands. Activities done in multiple life-space areas contributed more to daily step counts than those done in the neighborhood or town and beyond. Those who went shopping or walked for exercise accumulated higher daily step count…

A way to screen for suffering in palliative care

1997

We report a new tool for screening the suffering of terminally ill patients in a palliative care service. We systematically asked 371 terminal oncological and AIDS patients on 665 different occasions, “How long did yesterday seem to you?”; we then asked them to assess their current condition. The simple answer about subjective length of time correlated well with subjective suffering in approximately half the patients. Thus it may be a good starting point for future assessment and more extensive explorations.

Coauthorship Networks and Institutional Collaboration in Revista Española de Cardiología Publications

2007

The aim of this study was to analyze the patterns of investigator and institutional collaboration in papers published in the Revista Española de Cardiología.Details of coauthorship and institutional collaboration involved in articles published in the Revista Española de Cardiología in the period 2000-2005 were recorded and a collaboration index was derived. Collaboration networks were identified using the TextToPajek and PAJEK software tools.Of the 980 papers analyzed, 95.1% had been authored by two or more individuals and 51.43% involved institutional collaboration. The overall collaboration index was 6.23 (standard deviation [SD] 3.1). There was a significant statistical relationship (P.0…
