The influence of socio-economic and surveillance characteristics on breast cancer survival: a French population-based study.
2008
International audience; Survival data on female invasive breast cancer with 9-year follow-up from five French cancer registries were analysed by logistic regression for prognostic factors of cancer stage.

The Cox regression model was used for multivariate analysis. County of residence, age group, occupational status, mammographic surveillance, gynaecological prevention consultations and the diagnosis mammography, whether within a screening framework or not, were independent prognostic factors of survival. Moreover, for the same age group, and on…

Dabiskie zālāji Vidzemes augstienes agroainavā: biodaudzveidība un tās saglabāšanas sociālekonomiskie aspekti
2015
Bakalaura darba „Dabiskie zālāji Vidzemes agroainavā: biodaudzveidība un tās saglabāšanas sociālekonomiskie aspekti” mērķis ir noskaidrot dabisko zālāju daudzveidību Vidzemes augstienē un tās saglabāšanas sociālekonomiskos faktorus. Visā Latvijas teritorijā dabisko zālāju platības samazinās, tomēr to saglabāšanai ir liela nozīme, jo dabiskajos zālājos ir ļoti augsta gan dzīvnieku, gan augu sugu daudzveidība. Dabiskie zālāji nespēj pastāvēt bez cilvēka klātbūtnes, tieši tāpēc ir svarīgi zināt iemeslus, kāpēc dabiskie zālāji tiek pamesti vai apsaimniekoti nepareizi. Dabisko zālāju biodaudzveidība Vidzemes augstienē samazinās, zemes īpašnieki novērtē dabas vērtību, bet, ņemot vērā šī brīža aps…
