    Vaikuttavuus esiin -hankkeessa Oulun ammattikorkeakoulu ja Nouseva Rannikkoseutu ry kehittÀvÀt maaseuturahaston hankkeiden vaikuttavuuden mittaamiseen erilaisia työkaluja ja mittareita yhdessÀ alueen toimijoiden kanssa Pohjois-Pohjanmaan alueella. TÀssÀ artikkelissa on tarkasteltu, mitÀ mahdollisuuksia ekosysteemien hyödyntÀmisellÀ on yrittÀjyystukien vaikuttavuuden arvioinnissa. KentÀn kÀytÀnnön toimijat nÀkevÀt isojakin mahdollisuuksia yhteistyössÀ ja yhteisissÀ tavoitteissa. Opiskelijat ovat kartoittaneet myös yritysten kokemuksia yhteistyön lisÀÀmisestÀ hankkeiden avulla ja vastanneiden yritysten mukaan yhteisissÀ hankkeissa mahdollistuu verkostoituminen, toiminnan laajeneminen ja osaamisen kasvattaminen

    Monialaisella harjoittelulla vaikuttavuutta oppimiseen

    LYSTI-hankkeessa vastataan työelÀmÀn vaatimukseen rakentamalla harjoittelulle uusi monialaisen harjoittelun malli. Monialaisessa harjoittelussa eri alojen opiskelijat yhdistÀvÀt osaamisena ja oppivat yhdessÀ tiiminÀ toteuttamalla yrityksen antaman projektin. Hankkeesta on meneillÀÀn pilottivaihe. Opiskelijat suorittavat harjoittelua paikallisissa organisaatioissa ja samalla tutkitaan, miten monialainen harjoittelu toimii sekÀ miten opiskelijat sen kokevat. Samalla kerÀtÀÀn organisaatioiden kokemuksia ja kehitetÀÀn monialaisen harjoittelun mallia. Harjoittelun vaikuttavuutta arvioidaan hankkeessa. Tavoitteena on, ettÀ opiskelijat ja organisaatiot kokisivat monialaisesta harjoittelusta olevan hyötyÀ oppimisen kannalta. Artikkelissa on kÀsitelty vaikuttavuuden arviointia ja mittaamista sekÀ uudenlaista oppimisen nÀkökulmaa

    Characterization of the genetic landscape of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related dementias (ADD) provides a unique opportunity for a better understanding of the associated pathophysiological processes. We performed a two-stage genome-wide association study totaling 111,326 clinically diagnosed/‘proxy’ AD cases and 677,663 controls. We found 75 risk loci, of which 42 were new at the time of analysis. Pathway enrichment analyses confirmed the involvement of amyloid/tau pathways and highlighted microglia implication. Gene prioritization in the new loci identified 31 genes that were suggestive of new genetically associated processes, including the tumor necrosis factor alpha pathway through the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex. We also built a new genetic risk score associated with the risk of future AD/dementia or progression from mild cognitive impairment to AD/dementia. The improvement in prediction led to a 1.6- to 1.9-fold increase in AD risk from the lowest to the highest decile, in addition to effects of age and the APOE Δ4 allele

    Evidence of a causal effect of genetic tendency to gain muscle mass on uterine leiomyomata

    Uterine leiomyomata (UL) are the most common tumours of the female genital tract and the primary cause of surgical removal of the uterus. Genetic factors contribute to UL susceptibility. To add understanding to the heritable genetic risk factors, we conduct a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of UL in up to 426,558 European women from FinnGen and a previous UL meta-GWAS. In addition to the 50 known UL loci, we identify 22 loci that have not been associated with UL in prior studies. UL-associated loci harbour genes enriched for development, growth, and cellular senescence. Of particular interest are the smooth muscle cell differentiation and proliferation-regulating genes functioning on the myocardin-cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 1A pathway. Our results further suggest that genetic predisposition to increased fat-free mass may be causally related to higher UL risk, underscoring the involvement of altered muscle tissue biology in UL pathophysiology. Overall, our findings add to the understanding of the genetic pathways underlying UL, which may aid in developing novel therapeutics.Peer reviewe
