The Effect of a Physical Activity Program on the Total Number of Primary Care Visits in Inactive Patients: A 15-Month Randomized Controlled Trial
(2013)Abstract Background: Effective promotion of exercise could result in substantial savings in healthcare cost expenses in terms of direct medical costs, such as the number of medical appointments. ... -
El aprendizaje servicio universitario: materializando el compromiso social de la universidad desde una educación basada en la excelencia
(2013)Este artículo está basado en el proyecto de Aprendizaje Servicio (ApS) (Puig, 2006) Jardín Miquel Martí i Pol, iniciado en el año 2005 en la Universidad de Vic (UVic). En el mismo, universitarios junto ... -
La aplicación del método AICLE en los estudios de comunicación de la Universidad de Vic
(2013)En este artículo se elabora un diagnóstico de las asignaturas que siguen el método AICLE (Apredizaje Integrado de Contenidos y Lenguas Extranjeras) en la Facultad de Empresa y Comunicación (FEC) de la ... -
Place branding : a conceptual and theoretical framework
(2013)Within the context of rising competition between territories, identity has become the most important element of recognition, differentiation and commodification in the communicative process within ... -
On the Selection of Non-Invasive Methods Based on Speech Analysis Oriented to Automatic Alzheimer Disease Diagnosis
(2013)The work presented here is part of a larger study to identify novel technologies and biomarkers for early Alzheimer disease (AD) detection and it focuses on evaluating the suitability of a new approach ... -
Fish diversity in European lakes: geographical factors dominate over anthropogenic pressures
(2013)1. We aimed to distinguish the relative contributions of natural and anthropogenic local factors on patterns of fish diversity in European lakes at different geographical scales. 2. We compiled data ... -
An efficient algorithm to perform multiple testing in epistasis screening
(2013)Background: Research in epistasis or gene-gene interaction detection for human complex traits has grown over the last few years. It has been marked by promising methodological developments, improved ... -

FROM TOTAL INSTITUTION TO EXTITUTION? Discussions on the future of monastic life in the Benedictine women’s monasteries of Catalonia (Spain)
(2013)On the 50th anniversary of the creation of the Federation of Benedictine Women’s Monasteries of Catalonia (Spain), the five monasteries represented are discussing the following question: what will ... -
Embeddings for monotone functions and Bp weights, between discrete and continuous
(2005)We characterize the embedding for general weighted Lebesgue spaces of monotone functions by using the analog embedding for discrete monotone sequences indexed over the integers. We then use these ... -
A decreasing rearrangement for functions on homogeneous trees
(2005)We introduce a new decreasing rearrangement for functions defined on a homogeneous tree, which enjoys very intuitive and natural properties. The idea is to iterate, with respect to a particular ordering, ... -
Degree correlations in growing networks with deletion of nodes
(2008)In this paper we study the degree distribution and the two-node degree correlations in growing networks generated via a general linear preferential attachment of new nodes together with a uniformly ... -
Hardy’s inequalities for monotone functions on partly ordered measure spaces
(2006)We characterize the weighted Hardy inequalities for monotone functions in Rn +. In dimension n = 1, this recovers the standard theory of Bp weights. For n > 1, the result was previously only known ... -
Extinction threshold for spatial forest dynamics with height structure
(2011)We present a pair-approximation model for spatial forest dynamics defined on a regular lattice. The model assumes three possible states for a lattice site: empty (gap site), occupied by an immature tree, ... -
Effects of heterogeneous interaction strengths on food web complexity
(2008)Using a bioenergetic model we show that the pattern of foraging preferences greatly determines the complexity of the resulting food webs. By complexity we refer to the degree of richness of food-web ... -
Food-web complexity emerging from ecological dynamics on adaptive networks
(2007)Food webs are complex networks describing trophic interactions in ecological communities. Since Robert May’s seminal work on random structured food webs, the complexity–stability debate is a central ... -
What is the next step? The champions league clubs and their sponsors. From Bwin to Qatar Sports Investment
(2013)European Champions League has become one of the most important sporting competitions in the world. For this reason, many firms want to associate their brands with the organizations which take part in ... -

(2014)The main objective of this article is to analyse the sport place branding strategy of Qatar, a Persian Gulf country that is using the income from the commercialisation of its gas to create an economy, ... -
Biological assessment of European lakes: ecological rationale and human impacts
(2013)1. Nearly one hundred biological methods are currently used to assess the ecological status of European lakes. Here, using information from a questionnaire, complemented with findings from the literature, ...
