Factores que explican el cambio de la imagen de un destino turístico antes y después de la visita

El presente trabajo ha tenido como principal objetivo estudiar y analizar empíricamente los factores que explican el cambio de imagen antes y después de la visita a un destino turístico. En el estudio empírico se ha utilizado una muestra representativa de turistas de la isla de Tenerife (Islas Canarias), que es uno de los principales destinos turísticos de España. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto que los factores que mejor explican el cambio de imagen antes y después de la visita están relacionados con el esfuerzo dedicado a la búsqueda de información, el grado de incertidumbre, el nivel de implicación con el viaje, el número de fuentes secundarias de información consultadas y la duración e intensidad de la visita

Prediction of second neurological attack in patients with clinically isolated syndrome using support vector machines

The aim of this study is to predict the conversion from clinically isolated syndrome to clinically definite multiple sclerosis using support vector machines. The two groups of converters and non-converters are classified using features that were calculated from baseline data of 73 patients. The data consists of standard magnetic resonance images, binary lesion masks, and clinical and demographic information. 15 features were calculated and all combinations of them were iteratively tested for their predictive capacity using polynomial kernels and radial basis functions with leave-one-out cross-validation. The accuracy of this prediction is up to 86.4% with a sensitivity and specificity in the same range indicating that this is a feasible approach for the prediction of a second clinical attack in patients with clinically isolated syndromes, and that the chosen features are appropriate. The two features gender and location of onset lesions have been used in all feature combinations leading to a high accuracy suggesting that they are highly predictive. However, it is necessary to add supporting features to maximise the accuracy. © 2013 IEEE

In the empirical study it used a representative sample of tourists from the island of Tenerife (Canary Islands), which is one of the main tourist destinations in Spain. The results show that the factors that best explain the change in image before and after the visit are related to the effort dedicated to search for information, the degree of uncertainty, the level of involvement with the trip, the number of secondary sources of information consulted and the duration and intensity of the visit

Guidelines summarize and evaluate all available evidence on a particular issue at the time of the writing process, with the aim of assisting health professionals in selecting the best management strategies for an individual patient with a given condition, taking into account the impact on outcome, as well as the risk\u2013benefit ratio of particular diagnostic or therapeutic means. Guidelines and recommendations should help health professionals to make decisions in their daily practice. However, the final decisions concerning an individual patient must be made by the responsible health professional(s) in consultation with the patient and caregiver as appropriate
