Finnish and UK English pre-teen children's text message language and its relationship with their literacy skills

2011

The aim of the study was to demonstrate the style of text language used by Finnish pre-teen texters (n = 65) and determine how their text language related to their traditional literacy skills, and compare descriptively these results with earlier results from work with young English texters. Three kinds of text messages (natural texts, elicited texts and elicited replies) were recorded after cognitive and literacy skills were assessed. Relationships between text language and standard literacy skills were shown to be different between the two languages, and we propose that those differences arise from both the structures of the languages themselves, and the communities of linguistic practice …

Age-dependency in mortality of Finnish family caregivers: a nationwide register-based study

2020

Abstract Purpose Mortality appears to be lower in family caregivers than in the general population. However, there is lack of knowledge whether the difference in mortality between family caregivers and the general population is dependent on age. The purpose of this study was to analyze all-cause mortality in relation to age in family caregivers and to study their cause-specific mortality using data from multiple Finnish national registers. Methods The data included all individuals, who received family caregiver's allowance in Finland in 2012 (n = 42 256, mean age 67 years, 71% women) and a control population matched for age, sex, and municipality of residence (n = 83 618). Information on da…

Residential Exposure to PM2.5 Components and Risk of Childhood Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in Denmark: A Nationwide Register-Based Case-Control Study

2020

In a recent study, we observed an increased risk of childhood non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) associated with exposure to fine atmospheric particulate matter (PM2.5) and black carbon (BC). In this nationwide register-based case-control study, we focus on specific components of PM2.5 in relation to childhood NHL in Denmark (1981&ndash

Electrochemotherapy for advanced cutaneous angiosarcoma: A European register-based cohort study from the International Network for Sharing Practices …

2019

Abstract Background Cutaneous angiosarcoma (cAS) is a highly aggressive malignancy that challenges the radicality of surgical treatment. Electrochemotherapy (ECT), a skin-directed treatment based on cytotoxic chemotherapy combined with local electric pulses, may be an intraoperative adjunct and a new opportunity in the therapeutic strategy. This cohort study reports the experience with ECT as an option. Methods Data on patients with locally-advanced/metastatic cAS who underwent ECT between October 2013 and October 2018 at eight European centres were prospectively submitted to the InspECT (International network for sharing practices of ECT) register. Patients received therapy according to th…

Air pollution exposure at the residence and risk of childhood cancers in Denmark:A nationwide register-based case-control study

2020

Background: The etiology of childhood cancer is poorly understood. The role of environmental factors, including air pollution (AP) exposure, has been addressed previously, but results so far have been inconclusive. In this study, we investigate the association between long-term AP exposures in relation to childhood cancer subtypes in Denmark (1981–2013). Methods: We conducted a nationwide register-based case-control study. We identified 7745 incident cases of childhood cancers (<20 years) in the Danish Cancer Registry. Four randomly selected (cancer-free) controls were matched to each case according to sex and date of birth. We modelled concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), fine part…

Misguided Effort with Elusive Implications

2016

Good self-control has been linked to adaptive outcomes such as better health, cohesive personal relationships, success in the workplace and at school, and less susceptibility to crime and addictions. In contrast, self-control failure is linked to maladaptive outcomes. Understanding the mechanisms by which self-control predicts behavior may assist in promoting better regulation and outcomes. A popular approach to understanding self-control is the strength or resource depletion model. Self-control is conceptualized as a limited resource that becomes depleted after a period of exertion resulting in self-control failure. The model has typically been tested using a sequential-task experimental p…

Current-induced domain wall motion in nanoscale ferromagnetic elements

2011

The manipulation of a magnetic domain wall (DW) by a spin polarized current in ferromagnetic nanowires has attracted tremendous interest during the last years due to fundamental questions in the fields of spin dependent transport phenomena and magnetization dynamics but also due to promising applications, such as DW based magnetic memory concepts and logic devices. We comprehensively review recent developments in the field of geometrically confined domain walls and in particular current induced DW dynamics. We focus on the influence of the magnetic and electronic transport properties of the materials on the spin transfer effect in DWs. After considering the different DW structures in ferrom…

Project Risk Register Analysis Based on the Theoretical Analysis of Project Management Notion of Risk

2016

Abstract The aim of the current research is to examine publicly available project risk registers to find correlations between the project management theory, especially project risk management, and practical results of real project risk management – the risk registers publicly available on the Internet. In the research, the author has analysed the compliance between the theories of the project risk management described in the “Aid Delivery Methods. Volume I. Project Cycle Management Guidelines” and “Caltrans Project Risk Management Handbook, Threats and Opportunities, Second Edition, Revision 0” and the project risk registers. In the previous studies, the author concluded that after analysin…

Sakārtojuma saikļi dažādu reģistru tekstu saliktos sakārtotos teikumos

2017

Šajā pētījumā tiek analizēti sakārtojuma saikļi saliktos sakārtotos teikumos Britu Nacionālajā Korpusā. Pētījuma mērķis ir izpētīt sakārtojuma saikļu, kas saista neatkarīgas teikuma daļas saliktos sakārtotos teikumos tekstos, kas sagrupēti četros dažādos reģistros (akadēmiski teksti, daiļliteratūra, laikraksti un sarunas) Britu Nacionālajā Korpusā, biežumu un dažādību. Teorētiskā pētījuma metode, kas tika izmantota, ir teoriju par sakārtojuma saikļiem, saliktiem sakārtotiem teikumiem, reģistru un korpusu salīdzināšana. Sekojošas kvantitatīvās pētījuma metodes tika izmantotas – pirmkārt, saliktu sakārtotu teikumu ieguve no korpusa, pēc tam tika izmantotas tādas aprakstošās statistikas metode…
