The objective of this study is to assess the association between levels of empathy and burnout of emergency professionals in all the assistance levels.A cross-sectional observational study was conducted in the health region of Lleida and the Pyrenees with 100 professionals from the field of Urgency. Participation reached 40.8%. Empathy and burnout were measured using the Spanish versions of the...

A lectotype is designated for the Tibetan species Deronectesemmerichi Falkenström, 1936 (Currently Boreonectesemmerichi (Falkenström)), and its habitus, as well as the median lobe and parameres of its aedeagus, are figured along with additional comparative material. Material of Boreonectesemmerichi from Sikkim (BMNH) represents the first record of a Boreonectes Angus, 2010 species from India. T...

A vegetation cover increase has been identified at global scales using satellite images and vegetation indices. This fact is usually explained by global climatic change processes such as CO(2) and temperature increases. Nevertheless, although these causes can be important, the role of socioeconomic transformations must be considered in some places, since in several areas of Northern Hemisphere ...

This article focuses on remaining childless as a result of certain choices and constraints (not on becoming childless as a result of outliving children). There are two main aims of this study. First it seeks to reveal whether any specifi c features appear when (temporarily) childless people are compared with those with children in the same cohorts. It also aims to explore what kinds of factors ...

Geotrechus sarpedon sp. n., a new species of blind Trechini is described from Arbailles Massif, western Pyrenees, trance. The generic attribution of the new species was challenging as it shares morphological features of both genera Geotrechus Jeannel, 1919 and Aphaenops subgenus Hydraphaenops Jeannel, 1926, confirming their polyphyly, which has been highlighted by previous molecular studies on ...

After the quasi-extinction of much of the European vertebrate megafauna during the last few centuries, many reintroduction projects seek to restore decimated populations. However, the future of numerous species depends on the management scenarios of metapopulations where the flow of individuals can be critical to ensure their viability. This is the case of the bearded vulture Gypaetus barbatus,...

Basque, a language spoken on both sides of the western Pyrenees, has rich lexical and grammatical resources for expressing space. It has five different locational cases and over thirty locational postpositions, mostly spatial nouns which can take any of the locational casesuffixes. The five locational cases of Basque are locative –n, ablative –ti(k), allative –ra(t), terminative allative –raino...

Mountain elevation gradients are invaluable sites for understanding the effects of climate change on ecosystem function, community structure and distribution. However, relatively little is known about the impact on soil microbial communities, in spite of their importance for the functioning of the soil ecosystem. Previous studies of microbial diversity along elevational gradients were often lim...

We report a case of a 58-year-old male patient who underwent successful endovenous radiofrequency ablation of the left great saphenous vein for CEAP class 4a venous disease. On the third postoperative day, he had a duplex ultrasound scan for evaluation which showed successful occlusion of the great saphenous vein (GSV) with class 2 endovenous heat-induced thrombus (EHIT) that disappeared during...
