Opinnäytetyössä selvitettiin Palmian catering-palveluissa työskentelevien maahanmuuttajien taustoja ja heidän vaikutuksiaan työpaikkojensa toimintaan. Tavoitteena oli saada tietoa maahanmuuttajien koulutuksen kehittämiseksi. Saadun tiedon toivottiin auttavan niin Palmiaa kuin muitakin yrityksiä henkilöstövalinnoissaan. Kyselytutkimus osoitettiin Palmian catering-palveluiden esimiehille sähköpostitse. Maahanmuuttajien vaikutukset työpaikoilla perustuivat heidän näkemyksiinsä. Palmiaa kysyttiin yhteistyöhön, koska se toimi pääosin Helsingissä, missä asuu lähes puolet maamme maahanmuuttajista. Palmia oli myös riittävän suuri yritys tarpeellisen vastausmäärän saamiseksi. Vastausten analysoinnissa merkittävimmiksi tekijöiksi muodostuivat kielitaito ja koulutus, joiden osuutta peilattiin työsuhteen pituuteen, maahanmuuttajan motivaatioon, työpaikan ilmapiiriin ym. työhön vaikuttaviin tekijöihin. Maahanmuuttajien vaikutukset työpaikoilla olivat suurimmaksi osaksi myönteisiä ja he olivat pidettyjä työntekijöitä. Tutkimuksen maahanmuuttajista lähes 80 prosenttia työskenteli ruokapalvelutyöntekijöinä. Suurimpana yksittäisenä ongelmana tuli esille heikko suomen kielen osaaminen. Maahanmuuttajat, joilla oli huono kielitaito ja joilla ei ollut aikaisempaa alan koulutusta tai työkokemusta, työllistyivät kuitenkin parhaiten pysyviin työsuhteisiin. Koulutettujen ja kielitaitoisten maahanmuuttajien huomattiin vaikuttavan kaikkein myönteisimmin työpaikoilla. Tutkimus osoitti, että yritysten kannattaisi palkata kielitaitoisia ja koulutettuja maahanmuuttajia ennakkoluulottomasti, sillä heidän vaikutuksensa työpaikoilla olivat hyvin myönteisiä. Maahanmuuttajien kielitaidon kehittämiseen ja koulutukseen olisi panostettava uudella tavalla. Tutkimuksen mukaan ruokapalvelutyöntekijöiksi voidaan palkata heikosti suomea osaavia ihmisiä vailla aikaisempaa alan kokemusta. Heille olisi hyödyllistä opiskella kieltä rinnakkain työn kanssa, koska silloin heidän kommunikointi- ja yhteistyötaidot sekä edellytykset kouluttautua paranisivat. Olisi ilmeistä, että maahanmuuttajan usko parempaan huomiseen vaikuttaisi myönteisesti työpaikoilla. Kielenopiskelun ja työnteon yhdistäminen kannustavalla tavalla vaatisi uusia koulutuksellisia päätöksiä asian mahdollistamiseksi. Tehtävä voitaisiin antaa tutkimuksen valmistumisen kanssa samaan aikaan järjestäytyvän Suomen hallituksen uudelle opetusministerille työryhmineen.

RESUME : Actuellement la brachythérapie endovasculaire reste le seul traitement efficace pour la resténose intrastent. Malgré ceci, la limitation majeure de cette technique est la resténose aux extrémités du stent (effet de bord) due à une couverture incomplète par la source radioactive (geographical miss). Le ballon coupant et qui ne glisse pas pourrait limiter le barotraumatisme engendré par la dilatation et qui avec la diminution de la radiation aux extrémités de la source radioactive, est à la base du geographical miss. Cette étude prospective a pour but d'examiner l'efficacité du traitement de la resténose intrastent par la combinaison d'angioplastie avec cutting ballon et β - irradiation. Le registre « Radiation in Europe NOvoste » (RENO) inclut tous les patients traités par β - irradiation coronaire avec le système Beta-CathTM System (Novoste Corporation, Brussels, Belgium) n'ayant pas été inclus dans une autre étude randomisée. Un premier sous-groupe de ces patients (groupe 1, n=166), représente les patients traités par cutting ballon et β - irradiation intra coronaire. Ce groupe a été défini d'une manière prospective et les résultats cliniques à 6 mois ont été comparés par rapport aux autres patients qui ont reçu un traitement par dilatation coronaire conventionnelle et β - irradiation (groupe 2, n=712). A 6 mois de suivi, on a retrouvé une différence significative entre les 2 groupes par rapport à la nécessité d'une nouvelle revascularisation du vaisseau préalablement traité (10,2% de récidive dans le groupe 1 contre 16,6 % dans le groupe 2 , p=0,04). Le nombre d'événements cardiaques majeurs (mortalité, infarctus du myocarde et revascularisation) a également été diminué de manière significative (10,8% contre 19,2% ; />=0,01). Cette observation a été confirmée par une analyse multivariée qui indique un risque diminué pour les événements cardiaques majeurs à 6 mois, (rapport de côtes : 0,49 ; intervalle de confiance 0,27-0,88 ; p=0,02). Comparé à l'angioplastie coronarienne avec ballon conventionnel, l'utilisation de cutting ballon avant la β - irradiation dans le traitement de la resténose intrastent démontre une meilleure évolution clinique à 6 mois. ABSTRACT: At present, vascular brachytherapy is the only efficient therapy for in-stent restenosis. Nevertheless edge restenosis often relat¬ed to geographical miss has been identified as a major limitation of the technique. The non-slippery cutting balloon has the potential to limit vascular barotraumas which, together with low-dose irradiation at both ends of the radioactive source, are the prerequisite for geographical miss. This prospective study aimed to examine the efficacy of combining cut¬ting balloon angioplasty and brachytherapy for in-stent restenosis. The Radiation in Europe NOvoste (RENO) registry prospectively tracked all patients who had been treated by coronary β-radiation with the Beta-CathTM System (Novoste Corporation. Brussels, Belgium) but were not included in a randomized radiation trial, A subgroup of patients with in-stent restenosis treated by cutting balloon angioplasty and coronary β-radiation (group 1, n = 166) was prospectively defined, and clinical outcomes of patients at 6 months were compared with those of patients treated by conventional angioplasty and coronary β -radiation (group 2, n = 712). At 6-month follow-up, there was a significant difference between groups 1 and 2 in- target vessel revascularization (10.2% versus 16.6% respectively; p = 0.04) and in the incidence of major adverse clinical events (MACE) including, death, myocardial infarction, and revascularization (10.8% versus 19.2%; p= 0.01). This observation was confirmed by a multivariate analysis indicating a. lower risk for MACE at 6 months (odds ratio: 0.49; confidence intervals: 0.27-0.88; p = 0.02). Compared to conventional angioplasty, cutting balloon angio¬plasty prior to coronary beta-radiation with the Beta-CathTM System seems to improve the 6-month clinical outcome in patients with in-stent restenosis.

An important problem in descriptive and prescriptive research in decision making is to identify regions of rationality, i.e., the areas for which heuristics are and are not effective. To map the contours of such regions, we derive probabilities that heuristics identify the best of m alternatives (m > 2) characterized by k attributes or cues (k > 1). The heuristics include a single variable (lexicographic), variations of elimination-by-aspects, equal weighting, hybrids of the preceding, and models exploiting dominance. We use twenty simulated and four empirical datasets for illustration. We further provide an overview by regressing heuristic performance on factors characterizing environments. Overall, sensible heuristics generally yield similar choices in many environments. However, selection of the appropriate heuristic can be important in some regions (e.g., if there is low inter-correlation among attributes/cues). Since our work assumes a hit or miss decision criterion, we conclude by outlining extensions for exploring the effects of different loss functions.

We summarize the progress in whole-genome sequencing and analyses of primate genomes. These emerging genome datasets have broadened our understanding of primate genome evolution revealing unexpected and complex patterns of evolutionary change. This includes the characterization of genome structural variation, episodic changes in the repeat landscape, differences in gene expression, new models regarding speciation, and the ephemeral nature of the recombination landscape. The functional characterization of genomic differences important in primate speciation and adaptation remains a significant challenge. Limited access to biological materials, the lack of detailed phenotypic data and the endangered status of many critical primate species have significantly attenuated research into the genetic basis of primate evolution. Next-generation sequencing technologies promise to greatly expand the number of available primate genome sequences; however, such draft genome sequences will likely miss critical genetic differences within complex genomic regions unless dedicated efforts are put forward to understand the full spectrum of genetic variation.

BACKGROUND: Previous published studies have shown significant variations in colonoscopy performance, even when medical factors are taken into account. This study aimed to examine the role of nonmedical factors (ie, embodied in health care system design) as possible contributors to variations in colonoscopy performance. METHODS: Patient data from a multicenter observational study conducted between 2000 and 2002 in 21 centers in 11 western countries were used. Variability was captured through 2 performance outcomes (diagnostic yield and colonoscopy withdrawal time), jointly studied as dependent variables, using a multilevel 2-equation system. RESULTS: Results showed that open-access systems and high-volume colonoscopy centers were independently associated with a higher likelihood of detecting significant lesions and longer withdrawal durations. Fee for service (FFS) payment was associated with shorter withdrawal durations, and so had an indirect negative impact on the diagnostic yield. Teaching centers exhibited lower detection rates and longer withdrawal times. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that gatekeeping colonoscopy is likely to miss patients with significant lesions and that developing specialized colonoscopy units is important to improve performance. Results also suggest that FFS may result in a lower quality of care in colonoscopy practice and highlight the fact that longer withdrawal times do not necessarily indicate higher quality in teaching centers.

Background: Most patients miss occasional doses of antihypertensives. The use of 'forgiving' drugs (i.e. drugs with duration of action longer than the 24-h dosing interval) may allow an adequate blood pressure (BP) reduction to be maintained despite missed doses. Aim:To quantify the effects of adherence level and duration of action on estimated mean systolic BP (SBP) reduction and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Method:For 1250 patients, we simulated 256-day dosing histories with realistically distributed drug holidays based on a study of electronically monitored dosing records. Adherence was set to the desired level by altering the proportion of doses missed. Mean office SBP-lowering effect (aliskiren 300 mg, -14.1 mmHg; irbesartan 300 mg, -13.3; ramipril 10 mg, -10.1 mmHg) and the rate of SBP increase after stopping treatment (off-rate; aliskiren, 1.0 mmHg/day; irbesartan, 3.6 mmHg/day; ramipril, 4.0 mmHg/day) were taken from the results of a randomised, double-blind trial. SBP was averaged over time and patient to estimate mean reductions in SBP and 10-year CVD risk (Framingham risk equation, baseline absolute 10-year CVD risk: 27%). Results:Predicted reductions in SBP and CVD risk with aliskiren were larger and less affected by imperfect adherence than the reductions with irbesartan or ramipril. For aliskiren, reducing adherence from 90% to 60% led to a predicted rise in SBP of 1.0 mmHg and three additional CVD events per 1000 treated patients; larger predicted differences were observed for irbesartan (2.5 mmHg; 7.5 events/1000 treated patients) and ramipril (2.2 mmHg; 6.7 events/1000 treated patients). Conclusion:To offset the effects of imperfect adherence, a common challenge with antihypertensives, for better BP management it may be prudent to prescribe 'forgiving' drugs.
