Variants in ZFHX3 are associated with atrial fibrillation in individuals of European ancestry
2009
We conducted meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for atrial fibrillation (AF) in participants from five community-based cohorts. Meta-analyses of 896 prevalent (15,768 referents) and 2,517 incident (21,337 referents) AF cases identified a novel locus for AF (ZFHX3, rs2106261, risk ratio [RR]=1.19; P=2.3×10−7), an association that was replicated in the German AF Network (odds ratio=1.44; P=1.6×10−11). Combining the discovery and replication results, rs2106261 was significantly associated with AF (RR=1.25; P=1.8×10−15).

Kohti turvallisuuden kulttuuria : kuinka viestinnän keinoin voi kehittää organisaation turvallisuutta?
2017
Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, miten organisaation turvallisuuskulttuuria ja kriiseistä oppimista on mahdollista kehittää viestinnän keinoin. Turvallisuuskulttuuri ja kriiseistä oppiminen nivoutuvat tiiviisti yhteen, sillä tutkimus keskittyi siihen, miten kriisejä voitaisiin ennaltaehkäistä ja kuinka niistä voitaisiin oppia sekä etu- että jälkikäteen. Tutkimuskysymyksiä oli kolme: 1. Mistä turvallisuuden kulttuuri koostuu ja miten sellaista luodaan? 2. Miten viestinnän avulla voidaan kehittää organisaation turvallisuuskulttuuria? 3. Millä tavoin viestintä voi edistää kriiseistä oppimista? Tutkimuksessa haastateltiin viiden yliopistollisen sairaalan turvallisuus- ja viestintä…

Emerging Cyber risk Challenges in Maritime Transportation
2022
Maritime security and surveillance have become one of the main areas in managing overall situational awareness. For example, the growing importance of maritime traffic in cross-border trade has created new pressures to develop new technologies for accident prevention, especially in the ports. Maritime safety is also a matter of concern for continuity management. Automatic ship alarm systems, coastal radars and coastal cameras are not alone sufficient equipment to build maritime awareness. The Universal Shipborne Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a ship transponder system that is a globally used tracking system, but highly vulnerable to hacking. A major maritime traffic problem arises…
Vēnu slimības un to riska faktori māsu darbā
2021
Pētījuma nosaukums ir „Vēnu slimības un to riska faktori māsu darbā”. Pētījums sastāv no divām daļām – teorētiskās un praktiskās. Ievada daļā var iepazīties ar pētniecības darba aktualitāti, pētījuma mērķi, darba uzdevumiem un pētniecības jautājumu. Teorētiskajā daļā tika apskatīti vēnu slimību veidi, māsas darbs, riska faktori, saistīti ar vēnu saslimšanām, māszinību teoriju pielietojums, un atbilstošas terapijas vēnu slimību profilaksei. Pētnieciskās daļas ietvaros mērķa sasniegšanai tika izmantota kvantitatīvā pētniecības metode – anketēšana, lai izpētītu riska faktorus, kas ietekmē vēnu slimības māsu darbā. Rakstot darbu tika veikta zinātnisko publikāciju, grāmatu, interneta vietņu un m…
Markova modeļu pielietojums notikumu vēstures pētīšanai
2020
Notikumu vēstures pētīšana ir iespējama ar vairākām metodēm, bet šajā darbā vairāk tiks apskatīta Markova modeļu pielietošana, sākot ar pirmo šādu modeli Neimaņa-Fiksa modeli un turpinot ar šobrīd aktuālajiem- divu stāvokļu modeli, konkurējošo risku modeli, slimības-nāves modeli. Vēl bez modeļiem tiks sniegta arī statistikas modeļu specifikācija un vairāki pielietojuma piemēri.
Who needs to care about small, dense low density lipoproteins?
2007
Background: Increasing evidence suggest that the ‘quality’ rather than only the ‘quantity’ of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) exerts a great influence on the cardiovascular risk. Small, dense LDL seem to be an important predictor of cardiovascular events and progression of coronary artery disease (CAD) and their predominance has been accepted as an emerging cardiovascular risk factor by the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III. Discussion: Some studies showed in past years that small, dense LDL are usually elevated in patients at very high cardiovascular risk, such as those with CAD and type 2 diabetes. More recently elevated levels of these particles have been fou…
Atherosclerosis Development and Progression: The Role of Atherogenic Small, Dense LDL.
2022
Atherosclerosis is responsible for large cardiovascular mortality in many countries globally. It has been shown over the last decades that the reduction of atherosclerotic progression is a critical factor for preventing future cardiovascular events. Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) have been successfully targeted, and their reduction is one of the key preventing measures in patients with atherosclerotic disease. LDL particles are pivotal for the formation and progression of atherosclerotic plaques; yet, they are quite heterogeneous, and smaller, denser LDL species are the most atherogenic. These particles have greater arterial entry and retention, higher susceptibility to oxidation, as well a…
