Using Talking Books to Support Early Reading Development
2009
This chapter explores the question of how interactive multimedia talking books can promote young children’s literacy development. Whilst commercially available talking books can motivate young children to read, there is little evidence that they are linked to the development of skills known to promote reading itself. The ‘Bangers and Mash’ talking books (Chera, 2000), were designed to address this issue, and we review studies that evaluated their effectiveness as classroom resources that could promote reading-related skills and abilities. We then consider the various barriers to collaborative learning in Early Years classrooms, and describe how resources like talking books could address som…
Radioaktiivisten jätteiden kartoitus kiihdytinlaboratoriossa
2011
Kiihdytinlaboratoriossa syntyy radioaktiivista jätettä, joka on pääosin tutkimuksessa käytettävien laitteiden osia ja laitteiden huoltojätettä. Aktiivinen jäte tulee luokitella ja käsitellä Suomen lakien määrämällä tavalla. Tässä työssä kartoitettiin jätteestä mahdollisesti löytyviä radioaktiivisia nuklideja ja nuklidien havaitsemiseen sopivaa mittauslaitteistoa. Jäteosia mitattiin gammasäteilyä havaitsevalla mittauslaitteistolla. Osista tunnistettiin radioaktiiviset nuklidit ja laskettiin niiden aktiivisuudet. Näiden määritysten pohjalta päätetään jäteosien jatkokäsittely yhteistyössä viranomaisten kanssa.
Value of Combined PET Imaging with [18F]FDG and [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 in mCRPC Patients with Worsening Disease during [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 RLT
2021
Despite the promising results of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radioligand therapy (RLT) in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), some patients show worsening disease during PSMA-RLT. We investigated the value of combined [18F]FDG and [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET imaging in this setting. In n = 29 mCRPC patients with worsening disease after a median of four cycles of [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 RLT, combined [18F]FDG and [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET imaging was performed to detect [18F]FDG-avid lesions with low or no PSMA expression (mismatch lesions). To evaluate prognostic implication of mismatch, survival analyses regarding presence, location, and [18F]FDG PET-derived para…
Rationale and design of the DARWIN-T2D (DApagliflozin Real World evIdeNce in Type 2 Diabetes): A multicenter retrospective nationwide Italian study a…
2017
Background Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in the field of diabetes have limitations inherent to the fact that design, setting, and patient characteristics may be poorly transferrable to clinical practice. Thus, evidence from studies using routinely accumulated clinical data are increasingly valued. Aims We herein describe rationale and design of the DARWIN-T2D (DApagliflozin Real World evIdeNce in Type 2 Diabetes), a multicenter retrospective nationwide study conducted at 50 specialist outpatient clinics in Italy and promoted by the Italian Diabetes Society. Data synthesis The primary objective of the study is to describe the baseline clinical characteristics (particularly HbA1c) of pa…
Effect of aerobic exercise and low carbohydrate diet on pre-diabetic non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in postmenopausal women and middle aged men: s…
2014
Background. Pre-diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are associated with an unhealthy lifestyle and pose extremely high costs to the healthcare system. In this study, we aim to explore whether individualized aerobic exercise (AEx) and low carbohydrate diet (LCh) intervention affect hepatic fat content (HFC) in pre-diabetes via modification of gut microbiota composition and other post-interventional effects. Methods/design. A 6-month randomized intervention with 6-month follow-up is conducted from January 2013 to December 2015. The target sample size for intervention is 200 postmenopausal women and middle-aged men aged 50–65 year-old with pre-diabetes and NAFLD. The qualifi…

Enterobacter cloacae administration induces hepatic damage and subcutaneous fat accumulation in high-fat diet fed mice.
2018
Accumulating evidence indicates that gut microbiota plays a significant role in obesity, insulin resistance and associated liver disorders. Family Enterobacteriaceae and especially Enterobacter cloacae strain B29 have been previously linked to obesity and hepatic damage. The underlying mechanisms, however, remain unclear. Therefore, we comprehensively examined the effects of E. cloacae subsp. cloacae (ATCC® 13047™) administration on host metabolism of mice fed with high-fat diet (HFD). C57BL/6N mice were randomly divided into HFD control, chow control, and E. cloacae treatment groups. The E. cloacae treatment group received live bacterial cells in PBS intragastrically twice a week, every ot…
Eating behavior dimensions and 9-year weight loss maintenance : a sub-study of the Finnish Diabetes prevention study
2023
Abstract Background Behavioral processes through which lifestyle interventions influence risk factors for type 2 diabetes (T2DM), e.g., body weight, are not well-understood. We examined whether changes in psychological dimensions of eating behavior during the first year of lifestyle intervention would mediate the effects of intervention on body weight during a 9-year period. Methods Middle-aged participants (38 men, 60 women) with overweight and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) were randomized to an intensive, individualized lifestyle intervention group (n = 51) or a control group (n = 47). At baseline and annually thereafter until nine years body weight was measured and the Three Factor Ea…
VHb-siirtogeenin vaikutukset geenimuunnellun nieriän (Salvelinus alpinus) hapenkulutukseen ja kasvuun
2012
Nieriä (Salvelinus alpinus) on arvostettu laji sekä urheilukalastuksessa että ruokakalana. Vähentyneiden populaatioiden ja viljelyssä havaittujen ongelmien takia sitä ei kuitenkaan Suomessa voida taloudellisesti hyödyntää parhaalla mahdollisella tavalla. Ilmastonmuutos voi hankaloittaa ennestään nieriän viljelyä, sillä se on kylmän veden laji. Tulevaisuudessa voi siirtogeenisten lajien käyttö ruokakalana olla mahdollista niiden uusien ominaisuuksien ja tehokkaamman viljelyn takia. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitettiin miten bakteerihemoglobiinia (VHb) koodaava VHb-siirtogeeni vaikuttaa nieriän hapenkulutukseen ja kasvuun. Geenin vaikutuksia tutkittiin mittaamalla kalojen hapenkulutusta kolmessa …
Cane (Rattan) entreprises as family business in Bangladesh : a case study
2009
Cane (Calamus spp), also known as rattan, is an important non-timber forest product used extensively all over Bangladesh as a raw material for making furniture, handi-craft and other household articles. The study has attempted to generate information on existing state of cane based family business, identify problems, and recommend solu-tions. Structured questionnaire has been employed in the field survey. During survey it was found that about 80% enterprises are traditionally inherited to the entrepreneurs from forefathers. Family members contribute about 30% of the total labor force. Thousands of people are engaged in collecting, processing, manufacturing of cane and cane products in the s…
