Datan alaiset : Kansanedustajien digitaalinen arki
<p>Raportti tarkastelee kansanedustajien digitaalista viestintätyötä. Raportissa lähdetään liikkeelle oletuksesta, jonka mukaan viestintä on yhä merkittävämpi osa poliitikon työtä. Tähän vaikuttaa median yhä keskeisempi ... -
Learning how to understand complexity and deal with sustainability challenges – A framework for a comprehensive approach and its application in university education
<p>Sustainability challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, poverty and rapid urbanization are complex and strongly interrelated. In order to successfully deal with these challenges, we need comprehensive ... -
Left Atrial Deformation Imaging and Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Rheumatic Mitral Stenosis
<p>Background<br></p><p>Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a frequent complication of rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) and is associated with worse outcomes. Prediction of new-onset AF by assessing left atrial (LA) mechanics with ... -
Homogeneous single-label cGMP detection platform for the functional study of nitric oxide-sensitive (soluble) guanylyl cyclases and cGMP-specific phosphodiesterases
Cardiovascular diseases are the number one death worldwide. Nitric oxide (NO)-NO-sensitive (soluble) guanylyl cyclase (sGC)-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) pathway regulates diverse set of important physiological ... -
Low free 25-hydroxyvitamin D and high vitamin D binding protein and parathyroid hormone in obese Caucasians. A complex association with bone?
BackgroundStudies have shown altered vitamin D metabolism in obesity. We assessed differences between obese and normal-weight subjects in total, free, and bioavailable 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH) D, 25(OH) D-Free, and ... -
Automatic detection of cereal rows by means of pattern recognition techniques
Automatic locating of weeds from fields is an active research topic in precision agriculture. A reliable and practical plant identification technique would enable the reduction of herbicide amounts and lowering of production ... -
[F-18]FDG Uptake in Adipose Tissue Is Not Related to Inflammation in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Purpose 2-deoxy-2-[F-18]fluoro-d-glucose ([F-18]FDG) uptake is a marker of metabolic activity and is therefore used to measure the inflammatory state of several tissues. This radionuclide marker is transported through the ... -
Versatile templates from cellulose nanofibrils for photosynthetic microbial biofuel production
Versatile templates were fabricated using plant-derived nanomaterials, TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibrils (TEMPO CNF) for the efficient and sustainable production of biofuels from cyanobacteria and green algae. We used ... -
Computational deconvolution to estimate cell type-specific gene expression from bulk data
<p>Computational deconvolution is a time and cost-efficient approach to obtain cell type-specific information from bulk gene expression of heterogeneous tissues like blood. Deconvolution can aim to either estimate cell ... -
Ottelia fengshanensis, a new bisexual species of Ottelia (Hydrocharitaceae) from southwestern China
Ottelia fengshanensis, a new species (Hydrocharitaceae) from southwest China is here described and illustrated. Comparing its morphological features to putative close relatives O. guanyangensis, it has 3-4 flowers (vs. ... -
Gameful civic engagement: A review of the literature on gamification of e-participation
<p>With increased digitalization, governments and public institutes became potentially better able to practice fuller and wider ranges of democratic governance through e.g., e-participation. E-participation, as any means ... -
A Uniquely Ergodic Cellular Automaton
<p> We construct a one-dimensional uniquely ergodic cellular automaton which is not nilpotent. This automaton can perform asymptotically infinitely sparse computation, which nevertheless never disappears completely. The ... -
Ethnic Minority Youths’ Encounters With Private Security Guards: Unwelcome in the City Space
<p>An increasing amount of literature is suggesting that ethnic minorities perceive their relations with the police as negative and procedurally unjust. There is, however, a distinctive lack of research on the relations ... -
Multilayering BZO nanocolumns with different defect densities for YBCO high field applications
The multilayer structures of alternating superconducting YBCO films doped with different BZO nanocolumn densities were utilized. We show that using 50 nm thick layers increases J (c) in the whole angular range by maximum ... -
Automatically Mapping Ad Targeting Criteria between Online Ad Platforms
<p>Targeting criteria in online advertising differ across platforms and frequently change. Because advertisers are increasingly taking a multi-channel approach to online marketing, there is a need to automatically ... -
Cause of parental death and child's health and education: The role of parental resources
<p>Early parental death has been linked to problems in health and educational path. We added to the literature by examining disability pension and various educational outcomes after external (accident, violence, suicide) ... -
Prediction of long-term absence due to sickness in employees: development and validation of a multifactorial risk score in two cohort studies
<p>Objectives This study aimed to develop and validate a risk prediction model for long-term sickness absence.</p><p>Methods Survey responses on work-and lifestyle-related questions from 65 775 public-sector employees were ...
