ObjectivesExercise is beneficial in managing cardiovascular health. Objective assessments of function assist identifying the presence or absence exertional symptoms, and functional physiological thresholds necessary to inform safe effective exercise programs. This study aimed generate expert consensus on support clinical decision-making for professionals providing services.Designthree-round e-D...

The problem that we address in this paper stems from the trend to delegation in the water management field. It refers to the municipality’s negotiating disadvantage in the face of cartelized water management firms that makes delegation, once undertaken, virtually irreversible. We show why the characteristics of the delegation auction render is useless as a tool for collective welfare maximizati...

BACKGROUND Data on exercise pulmonary hemodynamics in healthy people and patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) are rare. We analyzed exercise right heart catheterization (RHC) data in a symptomatic collective referred with suspected PH to characterize the differential response by diagnostic groups, to correlate resting with exercise hemodynamics, and to evaluate safety. METHODS This is a ...

Eduquito is intended to be a virtual environment for digital/social inclusion where people can exercise their citizenship with interaction and personal development. As a virtual space, it comprises a Learning by Project Environment which provides not only access resources for People with Special Educational Needs but also an array of special tools, which foster a process of creative dialogue as...

beneficence as a principle is one of the definite jurisprudential rules and a disclaimer of civil liability of the individual in terms of the loss enforced upon others during acts of collective good. this shall necessitate that beneficence include both subjective and practical good simultaneously. as regards beneficence to an individual other, it is necessary that the act itself be wasteful or ...

This study analyses the impact of union actions on worker well-being. It examines efforts to reduce emotional exhaustion associated with performance monitoring in call center jobs, drawing quantitative (N = 1894) and qualitative (interviews focus groups) data United States. Findings suggest that effective exercise collective voice, through bargaining activism by officials, can promoting fair de...

In two experimental studies, we investigated mechanisms hypothesized to underpin two pervasive and interrelated phenomena: that certain forms of group movement and exercise lead to social bonding and that social bonding can lead to enhanced exercise performance. In Study 1, we manipulated synchrony and exercise intensity among rowers and found that, compared with low intensity exercise, moderat...

The concept of teacher efficacy has received significant attention in educational contexts in the recent years and has been empirically probed at 2 levels: individual teacher efficacy and collective teacher efficacy. Having their origins in the social cognitive theory, teacher and collective efficacy perceptions are quite distinct constructs, each affecting educational decisions and student ach...

Crowdsourcing is an important tool, e.g., in computational linguistics and computer vision, to efficiently label large amounts of data using nonexpert annotators. The individual annotations collected need to be aggregated into a single collective annotation. The hope is that the quality of this collective annotation will be comparable to that of a traditionally sourced expert annotation. In pra...

Exercise hyperaemia is regulated by several factors, and one factor known to increase with exercise that evokes a powerful vasomotor action is extracellular ATP. The origin of ATP detected in plasma from exercising muscle of humans is, however, a matter of debate, and ATP has been suggested to arise from sympathetic nerves, blood sources (e.g. erythrocytes), endothelial cells and skeletal myocy...
