MIGRATION OF THE HIGHLY EDUCATED: EVIDENCE FROM RESIDENCE SPELLS OF UNIVERSITY GRADUATES*

2011

We examine the inter-regional migration of university graduates from 1991 to 2003 in Finland. The results show that time matters: two-years before and during the graduation year the hazard rates of migration increase, and then decrease thereafter. Although university graduates are particularly mobile, we find that most of them do not move from their region of studies within 10 years after graduation. The out-migration, i.e., brain drain, is much higher among graduates in the more peripheral universities than in the growth centers (Helsinki in particular). Migration is also substantially more likely for those studying away from the home region than for those studying at home. peerReviewed

Bloodstream Infection Incidence of Different Central Venous Catheters in Neonates: A Descriptive Cohort Study

2017

Central venous catheters (CVCs) in neonates are associated with a risk of central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI). Most reports on the incidence of CLABSI in neonates focus on umbilical venous catheters (UVCs) and peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs). We evaluated the incidence and risk factors for CLABSI in a cohort of neonates with femoral venous catheters (FVCs), UVCs, and PICCs, with a gestational age ≥34 weeks born between January 1, 2006 and June 30, 2013. We included 2,986 neonates with a total of 656 catheters. The CLABSI incidence rate varied from 12.3 per 1,000 catheter-days in FVCs to 10.6 per 1,000 catheter-days in UVCs and 5.3 per 1,000 catheter-days …

Evaluating the Efficiency of Different Regression, Decision Tree, and Bayesian Machine Learning Algorithms in Spatial Piping Erosion Susceptibility U…

2020

Piping erosion is one form of water erosion that leads to significant changes in the landscape and environmental degradation. In the present study, we evaluated piping erosion modeling in the Zarandieh watershed of Markazi province in Iran based on random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), and Bayesian generalized linear models (Bayesian GLM) machine learning algorithms. For this goal, due to the importance of various geo-environmental and soil properties in the evolution and creation of piping erosion, 18 variables were considered for modeling the piping erosion susceptibility in the Zarandieh watershed. A total of 152 points of piping erosion were recognized in the study area that…

Drainage inlets efficiency and its impact on pluvial flooding hazard evaluation uncertainty

2014

Flooding events in urban areas occur quite frequently as a consequence of rain events of lower intensity than the design one, even in case of correct network dimensioning. Inlets are in those cases the critical nodes, and efficient drainage is only ensured when care is taken on their appropriate design and positioning within the pluvial flood-prone areas. Classical approach for design and position of these hydraulic structures can result in high level of uncertainty in defining properly risk levels in urban areas. Further, evaluation of flood hazard in urban areas is made even more difficult if one considers that pluvial flooding can be caused by storm events characterised by a low return t…

Reglamentacja działalności hazardowej w Polsce – w poszukiwaniu intencji prawodawcy

2022

W artykule przedstawiono główne założenia i cele, jakie zostały określone w trakcie procesu tworzenia obecnie obowiązujących przepisów prawa hazardowego, a także podjęto próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie, w jakim zakresie deklaracje te nie znalazły odzwierciedlenia w treści uchwalonych przepisów. Ustalając intencję ustawodawcy przyjęto koncepcję agencyjnego modelu intencji kolektywnej, w związku z czym wykorzystano materiały z procesu legislacyjnego, w tym przede wszystkim teksty uzasadnień do projektów ustaw oraz stenogramy z posiedzeń Sejmu i komisji parlamentarnych. Przeprowadzona analiza uzasadnia konkluzję, że zarówno u podstaw ustawy o grach hazardowych, jak i kolejnych nowelizacji tego akt…

Olive oil intake and risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality in the PREDIMED Study

2014

[Background] It is unknown whether individuals at high cardiovascular risk sustain a benefit in cardiovascular disease from increased olive oil consumption. The aim was to assess the association between total olive oil intake, its varieties (extra virgin and common olive oil) and the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality in a Mediterranean population at high cardiovascular risk.

Educate to coexist with the flood risk

2020

In the Mediterranean region, floods are the main natural risk. This hazard has been aggravated in recent decades by the increase in exposure of the human being and is expected to increase the danger according to the forecast of climate change scenarios. For this reason, dealing with these issues in the classroom and the training of teachers on this subject should be a priority, as established in the curriculum of Primary Education (Social Sciences). The objectives of this research are: 1) To analyze the knowledge that future teachers have about the risk of flooding to develop these contents in the classroom; 2) Check the relevance that they give to this social-environmental problem; and 3) …

Uzależnienie od hazardu jako przyczyna rozwodu

2017

Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu zaprezentowane wpływu jaki może mieć uzależnienie od hazardu na życie rodzinne osoby cierpiącej na to zaburzenie. Podstawowym problemem badawczym jest ustalenie, czy uzależnienie od hazardu może być przyczyną rozwodu a w dalszej części odpowiedzi na pytanie czy hazard może być przyczyną rozpadu pożycia małżeńskiego stron. Omówienie tego zagadnienia wymaga ustalenia tego, co to jest uzależnienie od hazardu i jaki ma wpływ na rozpad więzi łączących małżonków przez pryzmat ich wzajemnych obowiązków oraz odpowiedzi na zasadnicze pytanie dotyczące orzeczenia rozwodu z winy małżonka z tego powodu

Cardiorespiratory Fitness and the Risk of Serious Ventricular Arrhythmias: A Prospective Cohort Study.

2019

Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is an established risk factor for cardiovascular disease outcomes. However, the relationship of CRF with risk of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) is unknown. We aimed to assess the prospective association of CRF with the risk of serious VAs. Cardiorespiratory fitness, as measured by maximal oxygen uptake, was assessed using a respiratory gas exchange analyzer in 2299 middle-aged men in the Kuopio Ischemic Heart Disease prospective cohort. We corrected for within-person variability in CRF levels using data from repeated measurements 11 years apart. During median follow-up of 25.3 years (interquartile range, 18.7-27.2 years), 73 serious VAs were recorded. The age-…
