Crisis communication and terrorism: Mapping challenges and co-creating solutions

2017

Terrorism is a globally connected, uncontrollable, transboundary risk that continually evolves and changes forms, resulting in multiple complexities that affect the lives of both citizens and organisations across the globe. These risks involve a high level of complexity when they materialise as crises, and the use of CBRN (chemical biological, radiological or nuclear) materials presents the possibility of a worst-case scenario. Crisis communication in such cases would not only be essential but also a matter of life and death. Hence, the purpose of this research was to better understand and describe the challenges of communication in CBRN terrorism crises as well as how these challenges can …

Garšas, uztverto risku, uzticēšanās un attieksmes pret dabu saistības ar krāna un pudeļu ūdens patēriņu Rīgas iedzīvotāju vidū

2022

Pieaugošs pudeļu ūdens patēriņš klimatu pārmaiņu kontekstā ir aktuāls, jo saistīts ar nelietderīgu resursu izmantojumu un piesārņojumu. Garša, uztvertie riski un uzticēšanās tiek norādīti kā galvenie faktori, kas ietekmē dzeramā ūdens izvēli. Šī darba mērķis bija saprast, kādas saistības pastāv starp šiem faktoriem, attieksmi pret dabu un krāna un pudeļu ūdens patēriņu dažādajās situācijās. Korelatīvi aprakstošā pētījuma rezultāti ar 257 respondentu dalību liecina, ka pozitīvs krāna ūdens garšas novērtējums cieši korelē ar ūdens kā drošu patēriņā vērtējumu un uzticēšanos ūdens piegādes sistēmā. Visnozīmīgākais izvēli ietekmējošais faktos ir uztvertie riski. Kopumā faktori izskaidro ~30% no …

Smart Terminal System of Systems’ Cyber Threat Impact Evaluation

2023

Systems of system-level thinking is required when the purpose is to develop a coherent understanding of the ecosystem where every user and system requirements are divided into specific parts. The smarter project, as a part of the Sea4value program of DIMECC, aims to develop harbor operations, including passenger and cargo transportation, in a way that port processes will improve, emissions will decrease, and overall security will enhance in smart ports. This paper describes cyber-attack impacts against the Smart terminal system of systems in the cyber realm by utilizing the MITRE ATTACK® framework to map the objectives of threat actors. The Smart Terminal system environment includes ICT, IC…

Do Loneliness and Social Isolation Predict Mortality Because of Hazardous Drinking?

2021

Introduction: Subjective feelings of loneliness and objective social isolation have been consistently connected with ill-health and mortality, though little work has empirically examined the mechanisms explaining the adverse effects. This study examines whether alcohol consumption explains the connection of loneliness and social isolation on mortality in different age and gender groups. Methods: The sample comprised a representative 1994 Finnish sample (n = 8,650) matched with 22-year follow-up mortality data. A multigroup path analysis with discrete survival time analyses was conducted. Results: There were unique differences in the associations between loneliness, social isolation, alcoho…

Association between ideal cardiovascular health and risk of sudden cardiac death and all-cause mortality among middle-aged men in Finland

2021

Background Strong associations have been demonstrated between the American Heart Association’s cardiovascular health (CVH) metrics and various cardiovascular outcomes, but the association with sudden cardiac death (SCD) is uncertain. We examined the associations between these CVH metrics and the risks of SCD and all-cause mortality among men in Finland. Methods and results We used the prospective population-based Kuopio Ischaemic Heart Disease cohort study, which consists of men between 42 and 60 years of age at baseline. CVH metrics were computed for 2577 men with CVH scores at baseline ranging from 0 to 7, categorized into CVH scores of 0–2 (poor), 3–4 (intermediate) and 5–7 (ideal). Mult…

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…

Efficient design and modeling strategies for follow-up studies with time-varying covariates

2015

Epidemiological studies can often be designed in several ways, some of which may be more optimal than others. Possible designs may differ in the required resources or the ability to provide reliable answers to the questions under study. In addition, once the data are collected, the selected modeling approach may affect how efficiently the data are utilized. The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate efficient designs and analysis meth ods in follow-up studies with longitudinal measurements. A key question is how to select optimally a subcohort for a new longitudinal covariate measurement if we cannot afford to measure the entire cohort. Another key question we consider is how to determine …

Jaunās strāvas kustība 19.gs. deviņdesmitajos gados: dalībnieka sociālpolitiskais portrets
