Following the outbreak of COVID-19, governments took unprecedented measures to curb spread virus. Public participation in decisions regarding (the relaxation of) these has been notably absent, despite being recommended literature. Here, as one exceptions, we report results 30,000 citizens advising government on eight different possibilities for relaxing lockdown Netherlands. By making use novel method Participatory Value Evaluation (PVE), participants were asked recommend which out options...
Abstract Ocean Acidification (OA) has become one of the most studied global stressors in marine science during last fifteen years. Despite variety studies on biological effects OA with commercial species, estimations these impacts over consumers’ preferences have not been detail, compromising our ability to undertake an assessment market and economic resulting from at local scales. Here, we use a novel interdisciplinary approach fill this gap. We experimentally test impact commercially...
Abstract Introduction Currently, it is not known what attributes of health care interventions citizens consider important in disinvestment decision-making (i.e. decisions to discontinue reimbursement). Therefore, this study aims investigate the preferences Netherlands toward relative importance context disinvestment. Methods A participatory value evaluation (PVE) was conducted April and May 2020. In PVE, 1143 Dutch were asked save at least €100 million by selecting for from a list eight...
Abstract During recent decades, water demand estimation has gained considerable attention from scholars. From an econometric perspective, the most used functional forms include log‐log and linear specifications. Despite advances in this field relevance for policymaking, little been paid to these estimations, authors have not provided justifications their selection of forms. A discrete continuous choice model residential is estimated using six (log‐log, full‐log, log‐quadratic, semilog,...
Overweight and obesity are a growing problem, especially among people with low income. Policymakers aspire to alleviate this problem by implementing publicly funded projects. This study has three aims: 1) explore citizen preferences regarding the public funding of projects promoting healthy body weight income, 2) identify whether such differ between citizens income those higher 3) reasons underlying these preferences. We conducted Participatory Value Evaluation (PVE) 1053 Dutch achieve aims....
Introducción: la falla cardiaca (FC) es una de las principales causas morbimortalidad a nivel mundial, cual ha experimentado aumento gradual su incidencia sin variación importante en desenlace dos últimas décadas. En Colombia muy pocos estudios evalúan factores asociados mortalidad por cardiaca. 
 Métodos: estudio cohorte prospectivo el que se incluyeron pacientes con diagnóstico descompensada al momento del ingreso urgencias, entre febrero 2010 y marzo 2013. Se calculó tamaño muestra...
The stage of the pandemic significantly affects people's preferences for (the societal impacts of) COVID-19 policies. No discrete choice experiments were conducted when was in a transition phase. This is first study to empirically investigate how citizens weigh key policies transitions into an endemic. We performed two among 2181 Dutch adults that included six attributes: deaths, physical health problems, mental financial surgery delays and degree which individual liberties are restricted....
Abstract Several studies examined what drives citizens’ support for COVID-19 measures, but no works have addressed how the effects of these drivers are distributed at individual level. Yet, if significant differences in present not accounted for, policymakers’ interpretations could lead to misleading decisions. In this study, we use XGBoost, a supervised machine learning model, combined with SHAP (Shapley Additive eXplanations) identify factors associated policy measures and such across...
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), diffusion tractography (DTT), as well resting-state-functional magnetic resonance (rsfMRI) are promising methods for assessing patients with disorders of consciousness (DOCs).This work describes the main findings using DTI, DTT, and rsfMRI in a patient DOC secondary to an anoxic encephalopathy who had fatal outcome. She was 85-year-old woman presented cardiac arrest underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation 20 minutes then returning spontaneous circulation....
To determine the role of early acquisition blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) signals and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) for analysis connectivity ascending arousal network (AAN) in predicting neurological outcomes after acute traumatic brain injury (TBI), cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA), or stroke. A prospective 50 comatose patients was performed during their ICU stay. Image processing conducted to assess structural functional AAN. Outcomes were evaluated 3 6 months. Nineteen (38%) had...
The adoption of good practices for the economic valuation environmental services (ES) has strong implications in evaluation and design a Payment Environmental Services program. People’s willingness to pay an ES is useful evaluate whether money collected from users will be enough cover both providers’ opportunity costs other generated by institutional arrangements required implementation. In this article, we use numerical certainty scale adjust answers question aiming correct hypothetical...

We propose three procedures based on association rules (AR) learning and random forests (RF) to support the specification of a portfolio choice model applied in data from complex experiment data, specifically Participatory Value Evaluation (PVE) experiment. In PVE experiment, respondents choose combination alternatives, subject resource constraint. combine methodological-iterative (MI) procedure with AR RF models parameters model. Additionally, we use predictions contrast validity...

el síndrome coronario agudo es una patología de alto impacto clínico en nuestro medio y mundo. A pesar la evidencia un número medidas que benefician resultado estos pacientes, se ha demostrado su utilización no mejor. Una las estrategias diseñadas para mejorar esta situación, rutas críticas (critical pathways), consisten secuencia óptima guiada por tiempo intervenciones realizadas los miembros del equipo salud, diagnóstico o procedimiento particular, con objetivo minimizar retrasos, recursos...
We undertake a survey that estimates WTP and WTA measures for changes in the risk of being victim robbery or theft UK. Respondents are less likely to protest when they asked reveal their rather than WTA. Employing various protest-treatment techniques, we estimate mean reducing current risks by 50% range between £38 £220; WTA, £351 £2,175. Higher values reflect people's aversion violence implicit this type crime. The annual value avoiding statistical case crime ranges £7,011 £90,087 robbery....
summary This study was designed to monitor the compliance of haemodialysis patients with their prescribed medicines and analyse factors associated non‐compliance. We conducted a transversal descriptive 121 patients. The patient evaluated according percentage tablets taken. Gender, duration dialysis treatment, knowledge about medicines, family status were not related compliance. However younger than 65 years 90.4% vs. 84.6% in over (p < 0.06) academic 89.6% 83.7% without it 0.06). most...
