Eurooppalaiset lastenvaatemessut vertailussa : Papu-tuotemerkin näkökulma

Opinnäytetyön aihe sai alkunsa toimeksiantajan, lastenvaateyritys Papu Designin omistajan Anna Kurkelan pohdinnoista lastenvaatteiden ammattilaismessuihin liittyen. Kasvaneen kysynnän johdosta Kurkela halusi viedä Papun eurooppalaisille lastenvaatemessuille tulevana kesänä. Tässä opinnäytetyössä on syvennytty pohtimaan, mille messuille pienen yrityksen kannattaa lähteä, ja mitkä tekijät vaikuttavat valintaan. Opinnäytetyön tarkoitus oli vastata pääkysymykseen: mitkä Euroopan lastenvaatemessut ovat sopivat Papu-tuotemerkin näkökulmasta? Samalla selvitettiin myös seuraavat alakysymykset: Millaisia lastenvaatemessuja Euroopassa järjestetään? Mitkä tekijät vaikuttavat näytteilleasettajan valintaan eniten? Työn tavoitteena oli tehdä kootun aineiston pohjalta laadukasta ja täsmällistä selvitystyötä, jonka pohjalta Kurkela pystyi mahdollisimman vaivattomasti tekemään päätöksen valittavista messuista. Työ sisältää ehdotuksen valittavista messuista, punniten haittoja ja hyötyjä yrityksen kannalta. Se sisältää myös toimintasuunnitelman messuille osallistumisesta. Tutkimusmenetelmä oli pääosin laadullinen. Selvitystyyppisen tiedonhaun lisäksi toteutettiin kysely kotimaisille lastenvaateyrityksille. Työssä selvitettiin lähdekirjallisuuden sekä verkkomateriaalin avulla tietoa kansainvälisistä messuista, sekä tukena toimi blogimuotoinen työpäiväkirja oppimisprosessin tukena. Opinnäytetyö sisältää myös havainnointia Bubble London -messuilta 26–27.1.2014. Työn tuloksena syntyi päätös valittavista messuista, sekä toimintasuunnitelma messuille. Selvitystyöhön pohjautuen Papu Design lähtee elokuussa 2014 ensimmäisille kansainvälisille CIFF Kids -lastenvaatemessuille Kööpenhaminaan.The topic of this thesis was originated from the author's discussions with the client, Ms Anna Kurkela, who is the owner of the children's clothing company Papu Design. Due to the increased strong demand, Ms Kurkela wanted to take Papu Design to a European kids fashion fair in summer 2014. The thesis focuses on the European kids fashion fairs from the small business perspective; which trade fair the company should attend and what are the key factors affecting the selection of the fair. The objective of this study was to answer the following questions: Which of the kids fashion fairs are suitable for Papu Design? What kind of kids fashion fairs are held in Europe? Which factors have the biggest effects on the exhibitor while making the decision? This thesis work provides an exact and analytical approach to the topic, providing qualified information required in the selection process. The author gives her own proposal about the suitable kids fashion fairs, by considering the pros and cons from the company's perspective. The action plan for participation in a trade fair is included in the thesis. The research methods of the thesis are mainly qualitative. In addition to literature research, a questionnaire study was carried out with domestic children's wear companies. Reference literature as well as web-based material was used while collecting information about European kids fashion fairs. A web-based blog application, a casebook, was created to support the author's personal development process. The thesis work also includes observation at the Bubble London Kids Wear Trade Show from late January, 2014. Based on the research described in the thesis, Ms Kurkela and Papu Design are converging on their first international kids fashion fair CIFF Kids to Copenhagen in August 2014

Effects of single family room architecture on parent-infant closeness and family centered care in neonatal environments : a single-center pre-post study

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a single family room architecture in a neonatal intensive care unit (SFR-NICU) on parents’ presence, parent–infant skin-to-skin contact (SSC) and the quality of family centered care. STUDY DESIGN: Two cohorts of parents of preterm infants were compared: those in the unit before and after the move to SFR-NICU. The parents used daily diaries to report their presence and SSC, and they responded to daily text message questions about the quality of family centered care. RESULTS: Parents spent more time in the SFR-NICU, but no significant change was found in SSC. Parents rated the quality of family centered care highly in both unit architectures, without a change in rating after the move. CONCLUSION: The SFR-NICU increased parents’ presence but not SSC. The change in architecture did not affect parents’ evaluations of the quality of family centered care, which was already highly rated before the move.©The Author(s) 2021.

Genetic effects on life-history traits in the Glanville fritillary butterfly

Background: Adaptation to local habitat conditions may lead to the natural divergence of populations in life-history traits such as body size, time of reproduction, mate signaling or dispersal capacity. Given enough time and strong enough selection pressures, populations may experience local genetic differentiation. The genetic basis of many life-history traits, and their evolution according to different environmental conditions remain however poorly understood. Methods: We conducted an association study on the Glanville fritillary butterfly, using material from five populations along a latitudinal gradient within the Baltic Sea region, which show different degrees of habitat fragmentation. We investigated variation in 10 principal components, cofounding in total 21 life-history traits, according to two environmental types, and 33 genetic SNP markers from 15 candidate genes. Results: We found that nine SNPs from five genes showed strong trend for trait associations (p-values under 0.001 before correction). These associations, yet nonsignificant after multiple test corrections, with a total number of 1,086 tests, were consistent across the study populations. Additionally, these nine genes also showed an allele frequency difference between the populations from the northern fragmented versus the southern continuous landscape. Discussion: Our study provides further support for previously described trait associations within the Glanville fritillary butterfly species across different spatial scales. Although our results alone are inconclusive, they are concordant with previous studies that identified these associations to be related to climatic changes or habitat fragmentation within the angstrom land population.Peer reviewe

Fewer maternal depression symptoms after the Close Collaboration with Parents intervention : Two-year follow-up

Aim To test whether the implementation of the Close Collaboration with Parents intervention at a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) decreases depression symptoms of mothers up to two years after the delivery of preterm infants. Methods We used a non-equivalent two-group design, comparing mothers of very low birthweight infants in the same NICU before (2001–2006) and after (2011–215) the intervention. The unit carried out the educational intervention (2009–2012) that was targeted at its healthcare team and aimed to improve their skills to collaborate with parents. Maternal depression symptoms were measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) six months and two years after the expected birth date of the infant. Results We found a median difference of 2.56 (95% CI from 1.64 to 3.48) in EPDS at the two-year follow-up between the pre-intervention and post-intervention groups, p < 0.001. Furthermore, we found no interaction between measurement time-points and group, implying that the intervention effect on maternal depression symptoms was similar at the six-month and two-year time-points. Conclusion The intervention seems to have long-term preventive effects on maternal depressive symptoms. This effect is of clinical significance as prolonged maternal depression associates with adverse child outcomes.© 2022 The Authors.

Idiopathic giant cell myocarditis or cardiac sarcoidosis? A retrospective audit of a nationwide case series

Aims Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) and giant cell myocarditis (GCM) are inflammatory cardiomyopathies sharing histopathological and clinical features. Their differentiation is difficult and susceptible of confusion and apparent mistakes. The possibility that they represent different phenotypes of a single disease has been debated. Methods and results We made a retrospective audit of 73 cases of GCM diagnosed in Finland since the late 1980s. All available histological material was reanalyzed as were other examinations pertinent to the distinction between GCM and CS. Finding granulomas in or outside the heart was considered diagnostic of CS and exclusive of GCM. Altogether 45 of the 73 cases of GCM (62%) were reclassified as CS. In all except one case, this was based on finding sarcoid granulomas that either had been originally missed (n = 29) or misinterpreted (n = 11) or were found in additional posttransplant myocardial specimens (n = 3) or samples of extracardiac tissue (n = 1) accrued over the disease course. Supporting the reclassification, patients relocated to the CS group had less heart failure at presentation (prevalence 20% vs. 46%, P = 0.017) and better 1 year transplant-free survival (82% vs. 45%, P = 0.011) than patients considered to represent true GCM. Conclusions Recognizing granulomas in or outside the heart remains a challenge for the pathologist. Given that CS and GCM are considered distinct diseases and granulomas exclusive of GCM, many cases of GCM, if thoroughly scrutinized, may need reclassification as CS. However, whether CS and GCM are truly different entities or parts of a one-disease continuum has not yet been conclusively settled.Peer reviewe
