IT-investoinnit – kohti tarkempaa arviointia
2012
Savolainen, Akseli IT-investoinnit – kohti tarkempaa arviointia Jyväskylä: Jyväskylän yliopisto, 2012, 40 s. Tietojärjestelmätiede, kandidaatin tutkielma Ohjaaja: Kankaanpää, Irja Tässä kandidaatin tutkielmassa perehdytään kirjallisuuskatsauksen avulla IT-investointien arviointiin ja siihen liittyviin haasteisiin. IT-investointien omi-naispiirteet, hyödyt, kustannukset ja riskit tulevat esitellyiksi aiempiin tutki-muksiin perustuen. Tutkielmassa esitellään myös IT-investointien tuottavuus-paradoksi ja sen syyt ja selitykset. Investointiprosessi ja yleisimmin käytettävät rahamääräiset arviointimenetelmät: nettonykyarvo, sisäinen korkokanta, ta-kaisinmaksuaika ja investoinnin tuottoprosentti …
Prediction of significant renal function decline after open, laparoscopic, and robotic partial nephrectomy: External validation of the Martini’s nomo…
2022
Objectives: Martini et al. developed a nomogram to predict significant (>25%) renal function loss after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy and identified four risk categories. We aimed to externally validate Martini’s nomogram on a large, national, multi-institutional data set including open, laparoscopic, and robot-assisted partial nephrectomy. Methods: Data of 2584 patients treated with partial nephrectomy for renal masses at 26 urological Italian centers (RECORD2 project) were collected. Renal function was assessed at baseline, on third postoperative day, and then at 6, 12, 24, and 48 months postoperatively. Multivariable models accounting for variables included in the Martini’s nomog…
Verģences atbildes izmaiņas ilgstošas tuvuma slodzes ietekmē
2017
Maģistra darbs ir uzrakstīts latviešu valodā uz 29 lappusēm. Tas satur 17 attēlus, 3 tabulas un 29 atsauces uz literatūras avotiem. Darba mērķis bija novērtēt, kā atkarībā no sakādiskā acu kustību uzdevuma mainās fiksācijas disparitāte. Sešiem dalībniekiem tika mērīta fiksācijas disparitāte pirms un pēc lielu un mazu sakāžu uzdevuma. Viennozīmīgas fiksācijas disparitātes izmaiņas pēc lielu un mazu sakāžu uzdevuma netiek novērotas, bet atsevišķos gadījumos ir būtiskas izmaiņas, kas norāda uz individuālām verģences sistēmas darbības īpatnībām.
Novel Mutations in the Asparagine Synthetase Gene (ASNS) Associated With Microcephaly
2018
Microcephaly is a devastating condition defined by a small head and small brain compared to the age- and sex-matched population. Mutations in a number of different genes causative for microcephaly have been identified, e.g., MCPH1, WDR62, and ASPM. Recently, mutations in the gene encoding the enzyme asparagine synthetase (ASNS) were associated to microcephaly and so far 24 different mutations in ASNS causing microcephaly have been described. In a family with two affected girls, we identified novel compound heterozygous variants in ASNS (c.1165G > C, p.E389Q and c.601delA, p.M201Wfs∗28). The first mutation (E389Q) is a missense mutation resulting in the replacement of a glutamate residue …
Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery for the Treatment of Symptomatic Uterine Fibroids
2017
Uterine fibroids, the most common benign tumor in women of childbearing age, may cause symptoms including pelvic pain, menorrhagia, dysmenorrhea, pressure, urinary symptoms, and infertility. Various approaches are available to treat symptomatic uterine fibroids. Magnetic Resonance-guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (MRgFUS) represents a recently introduced noninvasive safe and effective technique that can be performed without general anesthesia, in an outpatient setting. We review the principles of MRgFUS, describing patient selection criteria for the treatments performed at our center and we present a series of five selected patients with symptomatic uterine fibroids treated with this not y…
La figurazione dello spazio architettonico di Gaspare De Fiore
2017
Dal 1967, anno in cui Gaspare De Fiore pubblicò La figurazione dello spazio architettonico, ad oggi sono trascorsi esattamente 50 anni, eppure l’opera conserva la medesima fresca attualità che fu possibile rilevare leggendola per la prima volta durante gli anni della nostra formazione. Nell’affrontare il problema dello spazio architettonico De Fiore distingue tra la sua ideazione e la sua rappresentazione, segnatamente affrontando il secondo argomento da molteplici punti di vista e lungo un arco temporale che abbraccia l’intera storia dell’uomo, dalla pittura preclassica all’arte contemporanea, passando attraverso la rappresentazione dell’architettura in epoca romana, le dinamiche concettua…
FETAL GROWTH RESTRICTION: A GROWTH PATTERN WITH FETAL, NEONATAL AND LONG-TERM CONSEQUENCES
2019
Fetal growth restriction (FGR) or intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) are the terms used for a fetus which has not attained its full growth potential for gestational age. FGR is a multifactorial syndrome responsible for increased fetal and neonatal morbidity and mortality as well as long term adverse outcomes involving auxological, metabolic, organic and functional domains. Clinicians distinguish early and late onset FGR, in relation to specific fetal anthropometric parameters related to the possible primary etiology and to different patterns of placental and maternal cardiovascular pathologies. Delivery of an early onset FGR or growth impaired newborn with congenital pathology should be…
A Comparative Analysis of Performance Management Systems
2012
Performance management is maturing as an effective organizational approach in public organizations around the world, but the existing models have limitations that must be addressed. The international comparative case study analysis in this article presents policy recommendations and organizational strategies on how regional governments can create more robust performance management systems for higher levels of accountability and transparency in a time of global economic crisis. These include the consideration of organizational structure regarding alignment, control, and culture, the positive impact of performance management legislation, the role of executive leadership, and the need for an i…
Automatic knowledge discovery from sparse and large-scale educational data : case Finland
2017
The Finnish educational system has received a lot of attention during the 21st century. Especially, the outstanding results in the first three cycles of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) have made Finland’s education system internationally famous, and its unique characteristics have been under active research by various, predominantly educational, scholars since then. However, despite the availability of real but often sparse big data sets that would allow more evidence-based decision making, existing research to date has mostly concentrated on using classical qualitative and (univariate) quantitative methods. This thesis discusses, in general terms, knowledge discove…
