The utilization of primary healthcare services among frail older adults – findings from the Helsinki Birth Cohort Study
2022
Abstract Background The impact of frailty on primary healthcare service use, especially general practice office visits and remote contacts, is currently unknown. Further, little is known about the association of frailty with physiotherapy contacts. Methods We examined the utilization of primary healthcare services among 1064 participants from the Helsinki Birth Cohort Study between the years 2013 and 2017. Frailty was assessed based on Fried’s frailty criteria at mean age of 71.0 (2.7 SD) years in clinical examinations between the years 2011 and 2013. General practice office visits and remote contacts, the total number of general practice contacts, physiotherapy contacts, and the total numb…
Laser fluence, repetition rate and pulse duration effects on paint ablation
2006
Abstract The efficiency (mm3/(J pulse)) of laser ablation of paint was investigated with nanosecond pulsed Nd:YAG lasers (λ = 532 nm) as a function of the following laser beam parameters: pulse repetition rate (1–10,000 Hz), laser fluence (0.1–5 J/cm2) and pulse duration (5 ns and 100 ns). In our study, the best ablation efficiency (η ≅ 0.3 mm3/J) was obtained with the highest repetition rate (10 kHz) at the fluence F = 1.5 J/cm2. This ablation efficiency can be associated with heat accumulation at high repetition rate, which leads to the ablation threshold decrease. Despite the low thermal diffusivity and the low optical absorption of the paint (thermal confinement regime), the ablation th…
Cuerpos de energía: Formas alternativas de ser-en-el-mundo
2020
Based on an ethnographic approach, this paper explores how members of a new age spiritual movement known as ?Llave Mariana? (LLM) build and experience their bodies. At the same time, it develops a thick description of their ritual practices and later it analyzes, delving fundamentally into the phenomenological perspective, how these members shape and transform their forms of self-perception, experience, and representation of others and the environment. Finally, it considers the implications these spiritual practices have in the search and consolidation of alternative ways of being-in-the-world
Hvilke faktorer påvirker IPLOS registreringen i primærhelsetjeneste?

Masteroppgave helse- og sosialinformatikk HSI500 - Universitetet i Agder 2019 Background: According to the «Regulations on pseudonymous register for individual health and care statistics»the municipality sector commits itself to registertheir services and patients in the municipalities. Based on this, a registration system was developed which is integrated into the EPR systems used in the municipal sectors. IPLOS is the registry where all data is collected and used for statistics and distribution of earmarked funds. Reporting to the IPLOS registry is an imposed task that can pose a number of challenges for the health personnel who perform the registrations.Purpose:The purpose of the assignm…
Double copies of blaKPC-3::Tn4401a on an IncX3 plasmid in Klebsiella pneumoniae successful clone ST512 from Italy
2015
ABSTRACT A carbapenem-resistant sequence type 512 (ST512) Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase 3 (KPC-3)-producing K. pneumoniae strain showing a novel variant plasmid content was isolated in Palermo, Italy, in 2014. ST512 is a worldwide successful clone associated with the spread of bla KPC genes located on the IncFIIk pKpQIL plasmid. In our ST512 strain, the bla KPC-3 gene was unusually located on an IncX3 plasmid, whose complete sequence was determined. Two copies of bla KPC-3 ::Tn 4401a caused by intramolecular transposition events were detected in the plasmid.
Trends in Net Survival from Vulvar Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Italy (1990–2015)
2023
(1) Objective: In many Western countries, survival from vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC) has been stagnating for decades or has increased insufficiently from a clinical perspective. In Italy, previous studies on cancer survival have not taken vulvar cancer into consideration or have pooled patients with vulvar and vaginal cancer. To bridge this knowledge gap, we report the trend in survival from vulvar cancer between 1990 and 2015. (2) Methods: Thirty-eight local cancer registries covering 49% of the national female population contributed the records of 6274 patients. Study endpoints included 1- and 2-year net survival (NS) calculated using the Pohar-Perme estimator and 5-year NS condi…

The intra-acting reality of art-workA proposal for a multidisciplinary approach
2021
Artikkelissa ehdotamme lähestymistapoja, joiden kautta taiteilijoiden työtä voisi tutkia olennaisena osana taidetta ja prosesseina, joissa taiteiden erityispiirteet, tekijän subjektiivinen kokemus sekä erilaiset sosioekonomiset ja poliittiset tekijät aina yhteismuotoutuvat. Artikkelia motivoi oletus siitä, että uudenlaiset vuoropuhelut taiteen- ja työn tutkimuksen välillä edistävät merkittävästi ymmärrystä taiteellisen työnteon luonteesta, nykymuodoista ja tulevaisuudennäkymistä. This article develops perspectives through which artistic labour could be studied as an essential part of art, as well as processes in which specific artistic practices, the worker’s subjective experience and socio…
