Cultural diplomacy : the case analysis of Lithuanian presidency of the Council of the European Union in 2013

2015

A great range of various cultural events was presented in all member states of the European Union and overseas during the Presidency of the Council of the European Union in 2013. The greatest part of the cultural programme was implemented with the help of Lithuanian cultural attachés. The present Thesis focuses on cultural actors and projects involved in such particular term. Qualitative research through expert interviews (i.e. with Lithuanian cultural attachés in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Germany, Italy, Poland and the Permanent Representation of The Republic of Lithuania in the European Union in Belgium) was the research method used for this Master’s Thesis. The source material in this …

Sleep Duration and Risk of Fatal Coronary Heart Disease, Sudden Cardiac Death, Cancer Death, and All-Cause Mortality

2018

Background: Sleep duration has been shown to be associated with all-cause mortality, however its relationship with cause-specific fatal events remains uncertain. We examined the relationship between sleep duration and risk of fatal coronary heart disease (CHD), sudden cardiac death, cancer related death and all-cause mortality. Methods Sleep duration was self-reported at baseline examinations performed between March 20, 1984 and December 5, 1989 in 2,361 men aged 42-61 years old from the Kuopio Ischemic Heart Disease study. Of these 1734 (73.4%) men were free from CHD and cancer at baseline. Results: A total of 802 all cause deaths, 202 fatal coronary heart disease events, 141 sudden cardia…

Mortality by age, gene and gender in carriers of pathogenic mismatch repair gene variants receiving surveillance for early cancer diagnosis and treat…

2023

Background: The Prospective Lynch Syndrome Database (PLSD) collates information on carriers of pathogenic or likely pathogenic MMR variants (path_MMR) who are receiving medical follow-up, including colonoscopy surveillance, which aims to the achieve early diagnosis and treatment of cancers. Here we use the most recent PLSD cohort that is larger and has wider geographical representation than previous versions, allowing us to present mortality as an outcome, and median ages at cancer diagnoses for the first time.Methods: The PLSD is a prospective observational study without a control group that was designed in 2012 and updated up to October 2022. Data for 8500 carriers of path_MMR variants fr…

Opiskelijoiden motivointi kasvilajien ja niiden tieteellisten nimien opiskelussa

2010

Opetuksessa ja opiskelussa motivaatio on tärkeässä asemassa. Ilman motivaatiota opiskelua ja oppimista ei voi tapahtua. Kasvilajien opiskelu koostuu kahdesta osasta, niiden ulkonäön tunnistamisesta sekä lajinimien opiskelusta. Akateemisella tasolla kasvien nimeämisessä käytetään tieteellistä lajinimeä. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli tutkia Jyväskylän yliopiston bio- ja ympäristötieteiden laitoksen kasvilajintuntemuskurssin opiskelijoiden opiskelun motivaatiota. Tutkin motivoinnin vaikutusta opiskelijoiden tenttituloksiin ja opiskelumotivaatioon. Motivoivana menetelmänä toimi lukumateriaali ja siihen pohjautuva keskustelu. Motivoinnilla pyrittiin herättelemään opiskelijoiden oman alan asiantunt…

Optimized Deposition of Graphene Oxide Langmuir-Blodgett Thin Films

2014

Abstract Single sheet graphene (SG) is an innovative transparent material with high electrical and thermal conduction the use of which in transparent electrodes instead of traditional materials improves the performance of optoelectronic devices. In this study, graphene oxide (GO) has been obtained by a modified Hummer`s method followed by an advanced technique of water removal (lyophilisation). The Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) method was applied to transfer GO from suspension to substrate. To optimize the deposition process, as suspending and spreading solvents the benzene and benzene/methanol mixtures were chosen instead of previously studied water suspensions. The number of GO layers in suspens…

Influence of O2 on extra virgin olive oil fatty acids composition during malaxation

2017

Many variables are related to extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) quality and, therefore, to its polyphenols content and fatty acids composition including the steps that lead to EVOO extraction, considering that it is mainly contained in the vacuoles of the fruit mesocarp. The main steps of EVOO production are: harvest, crushing, malaxation, centrifugation, storage and filtration. Considering the olive oil extraction procedures, many studies have been conducted in recent years on oil mill plant and processes for improving EVOO quality. Malaxer is the most studied machine among all; it is responsible for malaxation, which represents a very important and critical step in the EVOO extraction process…

Pain neuroscience education and physical exercise for patients with chronic spinal pain in primary healthcare: a randomised trial protocol.

2019

AbstractBackgroundChronic musculoskeletal pain affects more than 20% of the population, and the prevalence is increasing, causing suffering, loss of quality of life, disability, and an enormous expenditure on healthcare resources. The most common location for chronic pain is the spine. Many of the treatments used are mainly passive (pharmacological and invasive) and poor outcomes. The treatments currently applied in the public health system do not comply with the recommendations of the main clinical practice guidelines, which suggest the use of educational measures and physical exercise as the first-line treatment. A protocol based on active coping strategies is described, which will be eva…
