Improving the operation of an emergency department by using a simulation model
2007
FL Toni Ruohonen on tutkinut väitöskirjassaan monia suomalaisia koskettavaa ongelmaa: terveydenhuollon päivystysjärjestelmän tehottomuutta. Tietokonesimulointia apuna käyttäen Ruohonen kehitti päivystyspoliklinikan uuden toimintamallin, jolla päivystykseen tulevan potilaan hoitoprosessia voidaan nopeuttaa jopa 40 %. – Terveydenhuollon yksiköt ovat hyvin monimutkaisia kokonaisuuksia, ja niillä on paljon satunnaisia piirteitä. Uusien teoreettisten ratkaisumallien kehittäminen ongelmiin on ollut melko helppoa, mutta niiden toimivuus on voitu osoittaa vasta käytännön kokeilun jälkeen, Ruohonen toteaa.Tutkimuksessa Ruohonen loi aluksi tietokoneella mallin oikeasta poliklinikasta sairaalan henkil…
Imagined Identities and Communities in the Learning Context of Finnish as a Second Language
2022
This case study on two migrant pupils of Finnish as L2 was carried out in Finland, which lies outside the most common context of such research, i.e. ESL or EFL in an English-speaking country. The study thus attempts to address the need to expand the research contexts of L2 identity issues. Using ethnographic data collected inside and outside a preparatory language classroom, this study aims to examine how the pupils make sense of their new learning environment and how, through language learning, they construct identities. The results show that they extend their repertoire of identities and connect to a wider world of possibilities as they strive to gain greater resources in their imagined c…

El alcoholismo, la toxicomanía y las perturbaciones mentales como causa de separación matrimonial
2003
El alcoholismo, la toxicomanía y las perturbaciones mentales constituyen causas legales de separación matrimonial, permitiendo al cónyuge no enfermo solicitar al juez que decrete la separación. Sin embargo, para que el juez la conceda es necesario que quede acreditado que el interés del otro cónyuge o el interés de la familia exige la suspen¬sión de la convivencia. También puede ser causa de nulidad matrimonial e, indirecta¬mente, causa de divorcio.
Diversification in evolutionary arenas - assessment and synthesis
2019
Abstract Understanding how and why rates of evolutionary diversification vary is a central issue in evolutionary biology and ecology. The concept of adaptive radiation has attracted much interest, but is metaphorical and verbal in nature, making it difficult to quantitatively compare different evolutionary lineages or geographic regions. In addition, the causes of evolutionary stasis are relatively neglected. Here we review the central concepts in the evolutionary diversification literature and bring these together by proposing a general framework for estimating rates of diversification and quantifying their underlying dynamics, which can be applied across clades and regions and across spat…
Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhosis;survival rate and prognostic factors
2010
Background: The role of prognostic variables in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE) is controversial. Aims: To evaluate the survival of patients with HCC on cirrhosis treated with TACE and to analyse the prognostic factors affecting survival. Methods: From 1996 to 2006, 580 consecutive patients with HCC in cirrhosis were observed. Of these 194 patients underwent TACE. The primary end-point was survival. Independent predictors of survival were identified using the Cox model. Results: The cumulative 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year survival rates were 96%, 60%, and 41%, respectively. The multivariate analysis showed significant reduction of surv…

“Comme ça pour le plaisir…”
2010
“Comme ca pour le plaisir…” is a quotation taken from The Little Prince of Antoine de Saint - Exupéry that in a few words summarizes the subjects I want to discuss. Is there only pleasure in creative activities? How much creativity is related with painful parts of our inner world? More in specific: has writing to do with separation issues? In the first part of my paper I will try to answer to the above questions exploring some psychoanalytical concepts, their relationship with creativity and in particular with writing. I will therefore deepen Sigmund’s Freud’s notion of sublimation, Donald W. Winnicott’s concept of transitional object and Melanie Klein’s ideas about reparation of destroyed …
Influencia del tratamiento radiológico locorregional pretrasplante en la evolución de los pacientes trasplantados por cirrosis hepática con carcinoma…
2015
El carcinoma hepatocelular (CHC) es el tumor maligno hepático primario más frecuente y representa la tercera causa de cáncer en el mundo. Su incidencia está aumentando considerablemente en las últimas décadas1. Este tumor se desarrolla habitualmente sobre hígados cirróticos y la resección quirúrgica sólo es posible en menos del 30% de los casos2. El trasplante hepático (TH) es el único tratamiento potencialmente curativo y su realización en pacientes con carcinoma hepatocelular que cumplen criterios de Milán3 está plenamente aceptado4, avalado por sus buenos resultados a largo plazo5,6. Cuando se cumplen estos criterios, la tasa de supervivencia a los 5 años después del trasplante es del 70…
