Approach: The quality of life of patients included in the projec…

  • High-low level features of destination personality

    Open AccessJoão Martins, Teresa Garcia-MarquesARTICLESocial Sciences & Humanities Open2025

    Research on destination branding has shown that tourists perceive destinations as having a personality structured around three dimensions (exciting, genuine, convivial). We offer a list of destination features likely to constitute the basis of the inferences individuals consensually make about those dimensions. We validated these associations in four empirical stages. Stage 1 assessed the tourist destination features that participants associate w…

  • Visualization of the research landscape on the 20 m shuttle run test in the last 15 years

    Open AccessBoryi A Becerra-Patiño, Boryi Alexander Becerra Patiño et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sports and Active…2025

    Introduction Various studies have applied the 20-meter shuttle run test (20mSRT) to estimate cardiorespiratory fitness in different population groups, with the aim of associating test performance with the physiological, psychosocial, and cognitive health of children and young people. However, to date, no bibliometric review that analyzes the research landscape has been conducted. The objective was to conduct a bibliometric review to develop an ov…

This study explored adolescents’ PA and SB using a longitudinal design, from the age of 13 to 15, to elucidate any changes and when they potentially occur. Method: The data material from the accelerometer measurements was analysed using the program SPSS, version 28. R…

  • Ten best resources for conducting financing and benefit incidence analysis in resource-poor settings

    Open AccessVirginia Wiseman, Augustine Asante et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2015References: 18

    Many low- and middle-income countries are seeking to reform their health financing systems to move towards universal coverage. This typically means that financing is based on people’s ability to pay while, for service use, benefits are based on the need for health care. Financing incidence analysis (FIA) and benefit incidence analysis (BIA) are two popular tools used to assess equity in health systems financing and service use. FIA studies examin…
