Survival of Adults with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Germany and the United States
2014
BackgroundAdulthood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a rare disease. In contrast to childhood ALL, survival for adults with ALL is poor. Recently, new protocols, including use of pediatric protocols in young adults, have improved survival in clinical trials. Here, we examine population level survival in Germany and the United States (US) to gain insight into the extent to which changes in clinical trials have translated into better survival on the population level.MethodsData were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database in the US and 11 cancer registries in Germany. Patients age 15-69 diagnosed with ALL were included. Period analysis was used to estimate…
Krāsu un emociju attiecības vizuālajā komunikācijā: dažādu vecumposmu salīdzinoša analīze
2017
Darba tēma ir ‘’Krāsu un emociju attiecības vizuālajā komunikācijā: dažādu vecumposmu salīdzinoša analīze’’. Pētījuma problēma: Vai dažāda vecuma cilvēkiem atšķiras krāsu un emociju uztvere? Mērķis ir noskaidrot kā krāsu un emociju saistība mainās dažāda vecuma cilvēkiem. Darba uzdevumi ir iepazīties ar teoriju, noskaidrot krāsu un emociju saistību atšķirību dažādiem vecumposmiem, izmantojot aptauju un eksperimentu, apkopot datus un izdarīt secinājumus. Teorijā izmantotas trīs teorijas: vizuālās komunikācijas teorija, ekoloģiskās valences teorija, krāsas un emocijas. Metodoloģijā izmantotas trīs metodes: aptauja, kontentanalīze un eksperiments. Apkopojot rezultātus redzams, ka vecuma atšķir…
Sex Differences in Colorectal Cancer Survival: Population-Based Analysis of 164,996 Colorectal Cancer Patients in Germany
2013
Risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) is considerably higher in men compared to women; however, there is inconclusive evidence of sex differences in CRC prognosis. We aimed to assess and explain sex differences in 5-year relative survival using standard and model-based period analysis among 164,996 patients diagnosed with CRC from 1997 to 2006 and reported to 11 German cancer registries covering a population of 33 million inhabitants. Age-adjusted 5-year relative survival was higher in women (64.5% vs. 61.9%, P<0.0001). A substantial survival advantage of women was confirmed in multivariate analysis after adjusting for CRC stage and subsite in subjects under 65 years of age (relative excess ri…
A time series study on the effects of heat on mortality and evaluation of heterogeneity into European and Eastern-Southern Mediterranean cities: resu…
2013
Background: The Mediterranean region is particularly vulnerable to the effect of summer temperature. Within the CIRCE project this time-series study aims to quantify for the first time the effect of summer temperature in Eastern-Southern Mediterranean cities and compared it with European cities around the Mediterranean basin, evaluating city characteristics that explain between-city heterogeneity. Methods: The city-specific effect of maximum apparent temperature (Tappmax) was assessed by Generalized Estimation Equations, assuming a linear threshold model. Then, city-specific estimates were included in a random effect meta-regression analysis to investigate the effect modification by several…
La Valle dei Templi in epoca medioevale. Caratterizzazione antropologica e paleopatologica delle sepolture antistanti in Tempio della Concordia
2021
Riassunto ― Il lavoro presenta i risultati delle analisi bio-archeologiche effettuate su resti scheletrici umani rinvenuti in quattordici sepolture di epoca medioevale rinvenute nel Parco Archeologico della Valle dei Templi di Agrigento (Sicilia). L’obiettivo è stato l’acquisizione delle informazioni necessarie per la ricostruzione del profilo biologico di ciascun individuo, al fine di determinarne il sesso, la stima dell’età biologica alla morte, la stima della statura e la valutazione delle patologie e degli indicatori di stress occupazionale mediante le correnti metodologie e tecniche diagnostiche di tipo antropologico. Sebbene il cattivo stato di conservazione di alcuni individui non ne…
Who can go back to work when the COVID-19 pandemic remits?
2020
AbstractThis paper seeks to determine which workers affected by lockdown measures can return to work when a government decides to apply lockdown exit strategies. This system, which we call Sequential Selective Multidimensional Decision (SSMD), involves deciding sequentially, by geographical areas, sectors of activity, age groups and immunity, which workers can return to work at a given time according to the epidemiological criteria of the country as well as that of a group of reference countries, used as a benchmark, that have suffered a lower level of lockdown de-escalation strategies. We apply SSMD to Spain, based on affiliation to the Social Security system prior to the COVID-19 pandemic…
Eri-ikäisyys ja ikäjohtaminen - Diskursiivinen tutkimus
2005
The purpose of this paper is to examine different age groups and age management in organizations. Age management is obviously an important issue in business organizations and in society as a whole, as it is seen as one solution to the problem of an aging workforce. Age management is defined in this paper based on the theory of diversity management, which regards age as one aspect of diversity. In this paper I explore what kinds of meanings people in the case organizations attach to age and how they define age management in organizations. My research method is discourse analysis, in which the focus is on speech. The main outcome of the study is that people construct “the old” and “the young”…
