Intermittent hypobaric hypoxia applicability in myocardial infarction prevention and recovery.
2012
Abstract Intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (IHH) has been the focus of important research in cardioprotection, and it has been associated with several mechanisms. Intermittent hypobaric hypoxia inhibits prolyl hydroxylases (PHD) activity, increasing the stabilization of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) and activating crucial adaptative genes. It has been hence suggested that IHH might be a simple intervention, which may offer a thoughtful benefits to patients with acute myocardial infarction and no complications. Nevertheless, several doubts exist as to whether IHH is a really safe technique, with little to no complications in post-myocardial infarction patients. Intermittent hypobaric hypox…

Regional economic structures in Finland : analyses of location and regional economic impact
2007
This dissertation consists of nine empirical studies which seek to broaden understanding of Finnish regional economic structures. These studies are divided between two topics: 1) regional specialization and industrial concentration in Finland, and 2) regional economic impact analysis. The empirical studies are preceded by an introduction, in which the theoretical background, outline and the main results of the thesis are presented. The research on the first topic is guided by the new economic geography literature, from which answers are sought to the location and agglomeration questions addressed in this dissertation. Evidence is found of increasing post-recession specialization in Finland.…
Towards Ethical Guidelines of Using Telepresence Robots in Residential Care

Fenomen pograniczy
2013
Artykuł ma na celu wyjaśnienie motywów powstania czasopisma a także wyjaśnienia przyczyny, dla której „pogranicze” powinno być ważną kategorią badawczą nauki o polityce. Autorzy wyjaśniają jakie jest ich rozumienie pogranicza - miejsca, którego istnienie konstytuuje granica. Globalne zmiany polityczne, społeczne, ekonomiczne i kulturowe, zachodzące w ostatnich dekadach, każą rozszerzyć terytorialne definiowanie pogranicza z miejsc leżących w pobliżu granicy państwowej, na miejsca leżące w pobliżu granicy rozumianej szerzej. Zmieniają się bowiem funkcje granic, a dynamika ich zmian jest na tyle duża, że pogranicza pozostają trwałymi konstruktami kulturowymi nawet na terytoriach obecnie jedno…
Alueellisen elinikäisen ohjauksen kehittäminen : viestintä ja jatkuva oppiminen
2018
Raportissa jatketaan aiemmin aloitettua elinikäisen ohjauksen alueel- lisen koordinaation tarkastelua. Empiirinen aineisto koostuu kyselyai- neistosta, johon ovat vastanneet alueelliset ryhmät. Aineiston perus- teella ELO-ryhmien toiminta näyttää kokonaisuutena vakiintuneen alueilla ja ryhmien edustajat ovat sitoutuneita alueellisen toiminnan kehittämiseen. Keskeisenä haasteena on ELO-ryhmien erilaiset toi- mintaedellytykset alueilla ja ohjaushenkilöstön täydennyskoulutuksen kansallinen koordinaatio. Haasteena on alueellisen ohjauksen yhteis- työn koordinaatio tulevan maakuntauudistuksen edetessä, ja osa ryhmistä on jo integroinut ohjauksen yhteistyön kehittämisen valmis- teilla oleviin hal…
