    The online market enables hotels to enhance their visibility and drive up their revenue. This study analysed both the average room price and price count (i.e. the sum of the number of prices that hotels offer) on Booking.com for a period of 300 days prior to check-in, with data classified by official hotel category. Hotels’ number of rooms, day of the week, room type, room capacity (i.e. maximum number of guests per room) and length of stay were also tracked. This research was based on a stratified sample of hotels gathered by using random sampling and proportional allocation, as well as defining the strata by hotel categories. The dataset included 1,353,751 records. The results reveal that channel management activities are an important area of hotels’ operations, which generate a considerable workload in terms of the time devoted to updating data and other related tasks. However, hotels’ participation in online channels does not always match their importance in the market as measured by their relative numberof rooms. Most of the variables under study have a significantpositiveimpact on prices, except for hotels’ number of rooms, which failed to follow any discernible pattern of influence.FCT: UIDP/SOC/04020/2020;info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    La Artritis Reumatoide, es una enfermedad degenerativa cuya evolución conlleva a un deterioro en la vida del paciente y aunque no cause mortalidad a corto plazo, provoca una disminución de la calidad de vida; para controlar su proceso degenerativo se emplea Metotrexato como un fármaco antireumático modificador de la enfermedad. El objetivo de este trabajo de investigación fue determinar la incidencia de niveles elevados de transaminasas hepáticas por el uso prolongado de Metotrexato en pacientes de ambos sexos, en edades comprendidas entre 20 a 80 años, para lo cual fue indispensable la revisión de las historias clínicas del área de Reumatología en el Hospital José Carrasco Arteaga durante el transcurso de un año (Agosto de 2014 – Agosto de 2015) en la ciudad de Cuenca, se obtuvieron 78 pacientes que cumplieron con los parámetros establecidos para este estudio. La incidencia de pacientes con niveles de Alanino amino transferasa por encima de 41 IU, valor considerado normal, fue de 34,6 %; resultando próxima al 58 % en los hombres y al 27 % en las mujeres con diferencias significativas en ambos grupos (P = 0,0296). En cuanto a la enzima Aspartato amino transferasa con valores normales de 41 IU, se observaron niveles por encima del rango normal en aproximadamente uno de cada cuatro pacientes, sin presentarse diferencias significativas según el sexo. Mediante los resultados obtenidos en esta investigación, se comprobó la importancia del Metotrexato en el tratamiento de la Artritis Reumatoide debido a su administración prolongada, originando el aumento de transaminasasRheumatoid arthritis is a degenerative disease whose evolution causes the patient's life deterioration. Though it does not cause short-term mortality, it decreases quality of life .In order to control the degenerative process, Methotrexate is used as a disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug. During this research, it has shown the incidence of elevated levels of liver transaminases due to the prolonged use of methotrexate in patients of both sexes, aged 20 to 80,so it was essential to review the medical records who came to the area of Rheumatology at Hospital José Carrasco Arteaga in the course of a year (August 2014 - August 2015) in the city of Cuenca. 78 patients who met the parameters established for this study were obtained. The incidence of patients with levels of alanine amino transferase above 41 IU, considered normal value, was 34.6%, close to 58% in men and 27% in women with significant differences in both groups (P = 0,0296). Regarding the enzyme aspartate amino transferase with normal values of 41 IU, it was observed levels above the normal range in approximately one of every four patients, and no significant differences according to sex. According to the results obtained in this research, it was confirmed the importance of Methotrexate in rheumatoid arthritis treatment due to prolonged administration, by causing an increase of transaminases.Bioquímica FarmacéuticaCuenc
