By 2025, the EU aims to develop 100 Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) – communities that promote renewables for energy generation and an environment enables sustainable lifestyles on part of resident. Despite rising interest in topic, prospective residents' preferences PED configurations have yet be documented. This paper addresses this gap by implementing a discrete choice experiment (DCE) Swis...

Urban areas have been responsible for the majority of European Union (EU)-wide primary energy demand and CO2 emissions. To address this issue, introduced concept Positive Energy Districts (PEDs). PEDs are required to an annual positive balance. However, if directly addressed in literature, balance only includes annually fixed factors often neglects grid impacts. bridge gap, work proposes a math...

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of amniotic membrane extract eye drops (AMEEDs) in patients with persistent epithelial defects (PEDs) cornea.Methods: Sixteen PEDs refractory to conventional treatment were further treated AMEEDs six times a day. Visual acuity, visual analog scale (VAS), esthesiometer score, and areas before after 1 2 months evaluated. After months, considered effectiv...

Dicho configura ordenamiento “de mínimos” que no impide a los Estados miembros establecer normas sociales más ambiciosas. Sin emb...

At a global level, the need for energy efficiency and an increased share of renewable sources is evident, as crucial role cities due to rapid urbanization rate. As consequence this, research work related Positive Energy Districts (PED) has accelerated in recent years. A common shared definition, well technological approaches or methodological issues PEDs are still unclear this development scien...

BACKGROUND Acute otitis media (AOM) is the main reason for physician visits and antibiotic prescriptions in children. Pediatricians (Peds) are gatekeepers for services and sources of information for families. The 2004 American Academy of Pediatrics/American Academy of Family Physicians (AAP/AAFP) Clinical Practice Guideline: Diagnosis and Management of Acute Otitis Media recommended preventativ...

BACKGROUND Despite recent research supporting the use of metered dose inhalers with spacer devices (MDI/spacers) in pediatric emergency departments (PEDs) for acute exacerbations of asthma, uptake of this practice has been slow. The objectives of this study were to determine the barriers and supports to implementing MDI/spacer research and to identify factors associated with early and late adop...

To mitigate the effects of climate change, European Commission created a Strategic Energy Technology Plan committing to forming 100 Positive Districts (PEDs) by 2025. These are considered potentially be major instruments for decarbonization in just transition. This plan has led some districts being defined as PEDs, although none have fully met criteria PED yet. Research shows that new forms ene...
