Special education students in transition to further education: A four-year register-based follow-up study in Finland
2016
Abstract This study examines the transition of special education students into upper secondary education in Finland. The national register-based school-level dataset comprises three compulsory school-leaving cohorts of 2004, 2006 and 2009 including all students and schools providing lower secondary education. Special education students (Tier 3) are divided into four different groups based on their curriculum adjustments. The school-level effect of special education provision is evaluated with statistical models exploiting the panel nature of the data. The results show that there are significant differences in participation in upper secondary education between the groups with different level…
HyperLabelMe : A Web Platform for Benchmarking Remote-Sensing Image Classifiers
2017
HyperLabelMe is a web platform that allows the automatic benchmarking of remote-sensing image classifiers. To demonstrate this platform's attributes, we collected and harmonized a large data set of labeled multispectral and hyperspectral images with different numbers of classes, dimensionality, noise sources, and levels. The registered user can download training data pairs (spectra and land cover/use labels) and submit the predictions for unseen testing spectra. The system then evaluates the accuracy and robustness of the classifier, and it reports different scores as well as a ranked list of the best methods and users. The system is modular, scalable, and ever-growing in data sets and clas…
Association of maternal prenatal smoking GFI1-locus and cardio-metabolic phenotypes in 18,212 adults
2018
Background: DNA methylation at the GFI1-locus has been repeatedly associated with exposure to smoking from the foetal period onwards. We explored whether DNA methylation may be a mechanism that links exposure to maternal prenatal smoking with offspring's adult cardio-metabolic health.Methods: We meta-analysed the association between DNA methylation at GFI1-locus with maternal prenatal smoking, adult own smoking, and cardio-metabolic phenotypes in 22 population-based studies from Europe, Australia, and USA (n= 18,212). DNA methylation at the GFI1-locus was measured in whole-blood. Multivariable regression models were fitted to examine its association with exposure to prenatal and own adult s…
Exploiting the Incomparability of Comparable Corpora for Contrastive Linguistics and Translation Studies
2013
For empirical research in translation studies and contrastive linguistics comparability across languages is an important and non-trivial issue, particularly, if we aim at quantifying differences and commonalities. We approach this problem by investigating the CroCo Corpus of English and German originals and translations in eight different registers concentrating on the (in)comparability of the different subcorpora. They are comparable across languages but incomparable in terms of functional, i.e. register, variation. A feature matrix is analysed to reveal differences and commonalities between the bilingually comparable texts (i.e. English and German originals) and the monolingually comparab…

The importance of a registered dietitian in restaurants: a pilot study in Valencia (Spain)
2011
University students have the option to purchase their meals at university restaurants; in general, food eaten away from home has high contents of saturated fat and energy. The aim of this work was to perform a pilot study of the nutritional adequacy of meals served at two university restaurants from Valencia. Energy, macronutrient and micronutrient contents were calculated and compared against the Spanish Recommended Dietary Intake (SRDI). Daily menus provided a high amount of energy; lunch from restaurant 1 provides 60 and 78% of the energetic SRDI for male and female, respectively. In restaurant 2 these values are 49.5 and 64.6%, respectively. Menus from one university restaurant are plan…
Therapeutische Strategien bei malignen Weichteiltumoren
2001
Einleitung: Ziel einer Weichteiltumor-Registerstudie der Chirurgischen Arbeitsgemeinschaft Onkologie (CAO) der Deutschen Gesellschaft fur Chirurgie war die Erfassung der Behandlungsstrategien bei malignen Weichteiltumoren des Erwachsenen. Methodik: In 19 Monaten wurden Daten von 292 Patienten von 99 chirurgischen Kliniken Deutschlands nach einem speziell entwickelten Dokumentationsbogen prospektiv zur pratherapeutischen Biopsie, Vorbehandlung, definitiven chirurgischen Therapie, zu multimodalen Masnahmen und zum pathohistologischen Befund erhoben. Ergebnisse: 39 % der Tumoren wurden in Universitatskliniken, 36 % in Schwerpunktkrankenhausern und 24 % in Krankenhausern der Grundversorgung beh…
Prä- und postnatales Nierenscreening im Vergleich: eine Analyse von 34.450 Neugeborenen des Geburtenregisters Mainzer Modell
2002
Zielsetzung. Fehlbildungen des internen Urogenitalsystems sind haufig und stellen die zweithaufigste Organkategorie dar. Anhand des Mainzer Geburtenregisters werden populationsbezogene Pravalenzen von Nierenfehlbildungen, die Sensitivitat des pranatalen Ultraschalls und die Haufigkeit operationsbedurftiger Befunde ermittelt. Material und Methode. Im Zeitraum von 1990–2001 erhielten alle in Mainz geborenen Kinder neben einer klinischen Untersuchung eine Ultraschalluntersuchung der ableitenden Harnwege. Bei Totgeborenen, Spontanaborten (≥15. SSW) und induzierten Aborten wurden die Befunde der Pathologie in die Erfassung einbezogen. Seit 1996 (nach Einfuhrung des Fehlbildungsschalles in die Mu…
