Earth’s life-supporting system is on the verge of falling into non-Holocene-like conditions since humanity continues to have unsustainable behaviors. Humans are poorly involved in protecting the earth’s natural systems and must transform their socioeconomic and cultural practices. Education for sustainable development (ESD) can facilitate these transformations by directing change into a sustainable path. Game-b...
INTRODUCTION: Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is a rare but life-threatening disease. This study aimed to analyze the safety and effectiveness of open (OR) and endovascular (ER) revascularization and respective outcomes in a consecutive series of CMI patients. METHODS: From 2013 to 2023, all CMI patients treated with OR and ER were retrospectively identified. Demographics, comorbidities, clinical presentation...
INTRODUCTION: Premature peripheral artery disease (PAD), defined as occurring before or at the age of 50, is a poorly studied subset of PAD due to its low incidence. It has been associated with a higher risk of progression to chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), major adverse limb events and mortality. Etiology is multifactorial, with genetics and environmental causes at play, with the most common risk fac...
TikTok has rapidly become a mainstream social media platform, particularly popular among younger populations. However, young people's perceptions of TikTok's use as a teaching–learning tool remain largely unexplored. To address this literature gap, this study involved an educational intervention in which TikTok was integrated into sport management classes at a Spanish university through active learning methodol...
Introduction: Nutrition is essential for human survival, but unsustainable food production methods and eating habits can have a negative effect on the environment. Edible insects, particularly the larvae of Tenebrio molitor, are gaining popularity in Western countries as an alternative to animal proteins, leading to increased research into their food safety. Objective: This study aimed to assess the microbiolog...
Social media has become integral to daily life. During the COVID-19 pandemic, these digital tools enabled people to maintain physical activity at home despite restrictions, positively impacting public health. This study examines whether the trend of using social media to support physical activity has continued post-pandemic. A questionnaire was administered to 251 university sport sciences students to gauge the...
This study’s purpose is to describe and critically review the literature on social barriers (SBs) faced by people with disabilities (PwDs) in sports activities to develop a comprehensive understanding of current and further research in the field. Methodology: The Theory-Context-Characteristics Methodology (TCCM) offers a comprehensive understanding of the key theories, the contexts in which SBs occur, the chara...
Purpose – The rise of digital innovations in the sports industry has led to the growing adoption of fan tokens, offering sports organisations new ways to engage with their fans. As these digital assets gain traction, understanding the factorsthat influence their acceptance becomesincreasingly critical. Thus, thisstudy usesthe Technology Acceptance Model to explore the roles of fan identity and the perceived ris...

INTRODUCTION: Fenestrated and branched stent graft technology has come a long way over the past few years, enabling the treatment of complex juxtarenal aneurysms, thoracoabdominal aneurysms, and arch pathologies. Many innovations have been developed, namely device and delivery optimization and technical tricks. These concepts have proven to work well when there is sufficient time to plan and manufacture a custo...
