This study aims to develop a conceptual framework for Revenue Management (RM) in tourism industry sub-sectors, addressing key characteristics, processes, applications, trends and challenges in order to support future research. A qualitative approach was adopted through a conceptual analysis and an extensive literature review, using exploratory secondary research to identify and analyse academic contributions on...
With the growing global energy crisis and the increasing challenge of construction waste management, the development of sustainable and energy-efficient concrete materials has become imperative. This study aims to develop and evaluate a novel type of concrete incorporating recycled aggregates functionalized with phase change materials (PCMs), referred to as PCM- functionalized recycled aggregates (RAP). This in...
INTRODUCTION: Currently, type IV thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA-IV) are treated primarily by endovascular repair. Despite the increased morbidity, there is still a role for open surgery in selected patients. This paper aims to present a descriptive analysis and outcome evaluation of open repair for TAAA-IV in our institution, where endovascular repair is generally the first-line treatment option. METHO...

Introduction: Gamed-based interventions (GBI) in old people is an interesting topic for aging-well purposes, however, few studies exist focused on the assessment of multimodal interactive experience (emotions, skills, engagement, etc), and most of them used digital games. Therefore, validation of analog GBIs, when implemented in the geriatric field, should be completed with a playability analysis. Aim: To chara...
Glycerol is the by-product of biodiesel production and its utilisation in fish feed has recently gained relevance. As an important metabolic intermediate and structural component of triacylglycerol (TAG), it is still unclear whether its supplementation affects lipid utilisation and/or deposition in different tissues. Accordingly, a set of studies was aimed to evaluate how increasing levels of dietary glycerol (...
