This study identifies key determinants of Airbnb demand and quantifies their marginal contributions in terms of demand elasticities. A comprehensive cross-sectional data set of all Viennese Airbnb listings that were active between July 2015 and June 2016 is examined. Estimation results, which are obtained by cluster-robust ordinary least squares, show that Airbnb demand in Vienna is price-inelastic. Significant positive drivers include listing size, number of photos, and responsiveness of the host. Significant negative drivers include listing price, distance from the city center, and response time of the host. Implications for the traditional accommodation industry are that, on the one hand, it should better communicate its sought-after advantages (e.g. lower average minimum duration of stay). On the other hand, it should increase its offer of bigger and better equipped hotel rooms since hosting more than two guests at a time is one of the major benefits of Airbnb.

A única diferença entre os grupos G1 e G2 foi no teste de vestir e tirar uma camiseta (14,19 ± 4,13s vs 18,24 ± 12,51s). Os valores dos dois grupos ficaram bem próximos.  O G1 demostrou um melhor desempenho, com um resultado bom, e o G2 demorou na execução das atividades, com um resultado regular.Conclusão: Mulheres idosas praticantes de exercícios físicos apresentaram maior autonomia funcional significativa no teste de vestir e tirar a camiseta quando comparada a mulheres insuficientemente ativas, demonstrando que a prática de exercício físico pode contribuir para maior autonomia. Functional Autonomy of Elderly Physically Active and Insufficiently Active Elderly Women in a City in the Cearense Middle South: A Cross-Sectional StudyIntroduction: Studies have been developed in order to contribute to the improvement of quality of life in the third age. One of the aspects related to it is the functional autonomy, which physical activity can benefit.Objective: To compare the functional autonomy of  physical active and insufficiently active elderly women in a city center at south of Ceará.Methods: This was a cross-sectional, observational study. In several locations in the city of Iguatu-CE, elderly women (> 60 years of age) were randomly invited to participate. The functional autonomy was evaluated through the GDLAM autonomy protocol.Results: Thirty elderly women (60 to 83 years) were divided into two groups: G1 (n = 15) composed of physical exercise practitioners (66 ± 5.01 years) and G2 (n = 15) of insufficiently active women ( 67 ± 6.17 years). The only difference between groups G1 and G2 was in the in the dressing and undressing a T-shirt test (14.19 ± 4.13s vs 18.24 ± 12.51s). The values of the two groups were very close. The G1 showed a better performance with a good result, and the G2 took a long time to complete the activities, with a regular result.Conclusion: Older women practicing physical exercise presented significant higher functional autonomy in the dressing and undressing a T-shirt test when compared to insufficiently active women, demonstrating that the practice of physical exercise can contribute to greater autonomy.

With the development of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), crime mapping becomes an effective approach to investigate the spatial pattern of crime in a defined area. Understanding the relationship between crime and its surrounding environment can reveal possible strategies that can reduce crime in a neighbourhood. The relationship between vegetation density and crime has been under debate for a long time. This research is conducted to investigate the impacts of tree coverage on property crime in the City of Vancouver. High spatial resolution airborne LiDAR data collected in 2013 was used for the extraction of tree covered area for cross-sectional analysis. The independent variables were put into Ordinary Least-Squares (OLS) regression, Spatial Lag regression, and Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) models to examine their influences on property crime rates. According to the results, the cross-sectional analysis demonstrated statistical evidences that property crime rates had negative correlations with tree coverage, with greater influences occurred around Downtown Vancouver.

This aspect of continuous growth is to respond to consumptive society's demand as the result of the continuous development of the modern era. This globalization era leads society to know the information and communication technology that affects their social life. Lifestyle and become an individual's identity and has been considered as the key to their social life through social media. Thus the architecture in the culinary world can be post it up in their social media. The innovation found in Atmosphere Resort Café is the ambiance of a resort in this city that is located in the city center area of Bandung city, Lengkong Besar Street. This area is the area of trading and housing, and is the one way to play street at the area. Atmosphere Resort Café wishes to present a different ambience at this city center through the concept of a resort café, also to be different from other cafés. To be located in the city center is a challenge to be able to present the resort ambience which is commonly found in suburban areas, away from the city center itself.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is twofold: to explore the distribution and pricing characteristics of Airbnb listings in Malta as at May 2019; and to develop a pricing model to determine the factors which have a statistically significant impact on price per night of listings. Design/methodology/approach A descriptive analysis of location and pricing of listings was undertaken via heat mapping techniques. A cross-sectional ordinary least squares (OLS) regression was run to determine the statistically significant variables. Findings Listings tend to cluster around not only in traditional tourist towns but also in rural areas which opens up new opportunities for tourist lodging. The Southern Harbour region was found to be the most expensive with the Gozo and Comino region being the least expensive. The coefficients of the pricing regression model were in line with a priori expectations. Research limitations/implications The study is based on a cross-sectional data set and thus fails to account for seasonal changes in prices. Likewise, the use of an OLS regression without incorporating quantile regression methods or spatial autocorrelation econometric techniques is another limitation of this study. Originality/value The paper is one of the few related to sharing economy rental platforms, particularly in Malta. It is also the first study in Malta to develop a comprehensive pricing model to determine what affects a listing’s price per night and the extent to which certain factors do so.

Abstract The last decade has seen a breakthrough in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) with the advent of phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors. There are few population-based observational studies on the prevalence of use of these drugs. We conducted a cross-sectional population-based study in the city of Pelotas (Brazil). Our sample comprised 1,082 men aged 20 years or older who answered a confidential and self-administered questionnaire. Prevalence of EDD use was 5% (IC95% = 4%;7%). ED and advanced age were strongly associated with a higher prevalence of EDD use. ED prevalence in men who used EDD was 68%, which was much higher than the one found in the entire sample (27%). The use of EDD was more frequently reported among separated men, respondents with higher level of education and those without ED. A high proportion of respondents (68%) did not seek medical advice on the use of EDD. Sildenafil was the most commonly used drug (38%) but non-regulated and non-evidence-based drugs were also frequently used (14%). Prevalence of EDD use is higher among individuals with ED, opposing to the notion of recreational use of EDD.

In the most liquid environments that characterize nightlife and parties, we generally live in a slower and more marked time: on the one hand, by relevant, varied and often intense sensitive experiences; and, on the other hand, for expectations of more freedom and social interaction between the actors. This article sought to problematize the direct and indirect repercussions - not only socioeconomic, but especially in the imagination of the city - of the nightly cultural experiences that take place at the festive events held at Beco das Artes (in the city center of Rio de Janeiro), which it presents itself as an open territory for serendipities, capable of mobilizing an expressive segment of actors who gravitate towards a musical production associated with the local alternative scene (and who, in general, participate in the current street culture in Rio). In view of the objectives outlined, our investigation is not only based on the theoretical-methodological procedures of the Sociology of Senses (and of the Imaginary) founded by Georg Simmel, but also employs cartographic methodological strategies (in the process of carrying out fieldwork and monitoring the dynamics aggregation of actors in the territories) inspired by the Actor-Network Theory, noted in Bruno Latour's seminal work.

Abstract The study aimed to identify the hazard level distribution in the slum areas in Palembang City. The research was a quantitative type with 382 families that live in the slums as the samples. The data were collected using proportional area random sampling and analyzed using the K-means Cluster test through SPSS 23. Spatial analysis through Arcgis was conducted to complete the understanding of the hazard distribution in the slum areas. The results showed that the hazard clusters formed by 64 areas could be categorized into three: low, medium, high. High level of hazards, reaching the one-third portion of the areas, dominated the slums in Palembang City. The cluster with a high hazard level was mostly in the city center, which was geographically located on the riverbanks, causing the areas to be vulnerable to flood, diseases, and crimes. The city center was known to offer high numbers of the job vacancy. People in the slums working in the city center were day laborers.
