Farm-Scale Crop Yield Prediction from Multi-Temporal Data Using Deep Hybrid Neural Networks

2021

Farm-scale crop yield prediction is a natural development of sustainable agriculture, producing a rich amount of food without depleting and polluting environmental resources. Recent studies on crop yield production are limited to regional-scale predictions. The regional-scale crop yield predictions usually face challenges in capturing local yield variations based on farm management decisions and the condition of the field. For this research, we identified the need to create a large and reusable farm-scale crop yield production dataset, which could provide precise farm-scale ground-truth prediction targets. Therefore, we utilise multi-temporal data, such as Sentinel-2 satellite images, weath…

Co-reductive fabrication of carbon nanodots with high quantum yield for bioimaging of bacteria

2018

A simple and straightforward synthetic approach for carbon nanodots (C-dots) is proposed. The strategy is based on a one-step hydrothermal chemical reduction with thiourea and urea, leading to high quantum yield C-dots. The obtained C-dots are well-dispersed with a uniform size and a graphite-like structure. A synergistic reduction mechanism was investigated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The findings show that using both thiourea and urea during the one-pot synthesis enhances the luminescence of the generated C-dots. Moreover, the prepared C-dots have a high distribution of functional groups on their surface. In this work, C-dots proved …

IN-HOSPITAL COMPLICATIONS OF ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION IN HYPERTENSIVE SUBJECTS

2005

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have shown a worse in-hospital outcome in hypertensive than in normotensive patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), which has been attributed to more frequent complications. The aim of this study was to investigate clinical patterns, risk factors, and in-hospital complications in hypertensive and normotensive patients with AMI. METHODS: Of 4994 consecutive patients with AMI admitted to the intensive care unit, hypertensive patients with first infarction (n = 915; mean age 68.8 +/- 11.4 years) and 915 gender- and age-matched normotensive subjects were retrospectively studied. RESULTS: In the univariate analysis, hypertensive subjects presented more frequen…

From Embodied to Disembodied Practices of Care: Discussing Welfare State Transformation in Finland

From Embodied to Disembodied Professionalism? Discussing the Implications of Medico-Managerial Management in Welfare Service Work

2013

Welfare service work is traditionally understood to comprise embodied, situational and social practices of care that are central to a worker’s professional self-image. Over the past few decades, public management reforms have called for reassessment of welfare service workers’ professional accountability through practices of medico-managerial service management. These practices promote the production of transparency and accountability in welfare services work through checking-based trust and disembodied professional practices. This article argues that the changes in the nature of trust toward welfare service professionals have implications for care work cultures and workers’ professional ag…

[Johdantoa] Sukupuoli on keskeinen työelämää organisoiva tekijä. Tästä huolimatta tulemme harvoin ajatelleeksi sukupuolen merkitystä arkisissa työelämän käytännöissä, toiminnassamme, puheissamme ja käytöksessämme. Sukupuolen merkitys työelämää järjestävänä elementtinä vaihtelee työelämän kentältä toiselle eikä siitä useinkaan haluta puhua suoraan. nonPeerReviewed

Living on a knife's edge: Temporal conflicts in welfare service work

2012

This article considers the temporal variations of social and health care workers’ agency from the point of view of the social structures and practices of the contemporary Finnish public service sector. It finds that the contemporary Finnish public sector increasingly operates according to market principles and economic framing of time, contrary to the relational understanding of time in care practices. To maintain their sense of self as skilled professionals, workers actively reassess and adjust their identities according to the exigencies of the contemporary working life, but not without difficulties. The results of the interview study reflect the intuitive, habitual and innovative nature …

Análisis farmacoeconómico y efectos clínicos de los Agonistas del receptor de GLP1 e Inhibidores de SGLT2 en el tratamiento de la Diabetes Mellitus t…

2022

Introducción y objetivos Los nuevos antidiabéticos análogos de GLP1 e inhibidores de SGLT2 han demostrado una potencia y una seguridad cardiovascular favorable que los está convirtiendo en pilares fundamentales en el tratamiento del paciente con diabetes tipo 2, quedando en la actualidad el inicio de estas terapias en función del criterio clínico o las características del paciente. A su vez, suponen un alto coste económico, sin existir comparación directa clínica o farmacoeconómica. El objetivo de la tesis es valorar la diferencia de coste farmacológico total en relación con la proporción de sujetos que alcanzan el objetivo combinado de HbA1c y peso definido como: HbA1c < 7,0% o un descenso…
