Made in Fiskars: En inblick i kulturarv och varumärkesproduktion i Fiskars bruk

Denna artikel tar sitt avstamp i min pro gradu-avhandling i etnologi Fiskars bruk i förvandling – lokalitet, kreativitet och kvalitet som drivkrafter i en medvetet styrd kulturarvsprocess (2012). I avhandlingen undersökte jag vad som händer på en plats, i det här fallet Fiskars bruk, när sociala och kulturella strukturer förändras som resultat av såväl konjunkturväxlingar som målmedvetna processer och beslut. I denna artikel gör jag en djupdykning i avhandlingens tematik, genom en mera ingående granskning av sambandet mellan kulturarv och varumärkesproduktion. Utgångspunkten ligger fortfarande i den förändring som har ägt rum i Fiskars bruk, med särskilt fokus på bolaget Fiskars Oyj Abp:s vision och tillvägagångssätt för att gjuta nytt liv i det deindustrialiserade bruket. Genom analys av intervjuer gjorda med utvalda informanter pekar jag på hur en plats historia och kulturarv samt invånare och nutida funktion kan bli ett medel för att säkra platsens, och därmed även ett varumärkes goda rykte och status. I artikeln presenterar jag även konkreta åtgärder som har vidtagits i förändringen av den fysiska bruksmiljön i Fiskars. Den teoretiska referensram som jag stöder mig på här berör främst kulturarv, gentrifiering, den kreativa klassen, varumärke och image

Relations between lipoprotein(a) concentrations, LPA genetic variants, and the risk of mortality in patients with established coronary heart disease: a molecular and genetic association study

Background: Lipoprotein(a) concentrations in plasma are associated with cardiovascular risk in the general population. Whether lipoprotein(a) concentrations or LPA genetic variants predict long-term mortality in patients with established coronary heart disease remains less clear. Methods: We obtained data from 3313 patients with established coronary heart disease in the Ludwigshafen Risk and Cardiovascular Health (LURIC) study. We tested associations of tertiles of lipoprotein(a) concentration in plasma and two LPA single-nucleotide polymorphisms ([SNPs] rs10455872 and rs3798220) with all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality by Cox regression analysis and with severity of disease by generalised linear modelling, with and without adjustment for age, sex, diabetes diagnosis, systolic blood pressure, BMI, smoking status, estimated glomerular filtration rate, LDL-cholesterol concentration, and use of lipid-lowering therapy. Results for plasma lipoprotein(a) concentrations were validated in five independent studies involving 10 195 patients with established coronary heart disease. Results for genetic associations were replicated through large-scale collaborative analysis in the GENIUS-CHD consortium, comprising 106 353 patients with established coronary heart disease and 19 332 deaths in 22 studies or cohorts. Findings: The median follow-up was 9·9 years. Increased severity of coronary heart disease was associated with lipoprotein(a) concentrations in plasma in the highest tertile (adjusted hazard radio [HR] 1·44, 95% CI 1·14–1·83) and the presence of either LPA SNP (1·88, 1·40–2·53). No associations were found in LURIC with all-cause mortality (highest tertile of lipoprotein(a) concentration in plasma 0·95, 0·81–1·11 and either LPA SNP 1·10, 0·92–1·31) or cardiovascular mortality (0·99, 0·81–1·2 and 1·13, 0·90–1·40, respectively) or in the validation studies. Interpretation: In patients with prevalent coronary heart disease, lipoprotein(a) concentrations and genetic variants showed no associations with mortality. We conclude that these variables are not useful risk factors to measure to predict progression to death after coronary heart disease is established.

The future of International Classification of Diseases coding in steatotic liver disease:An expert panel Delphi consensus statement

BACKGROUND: Following the adoption of new nomenclature for steatotic liver disease, we aimed to build consensus on the use of International Classification of Diseases codes and recommendations for future research and advocacy.METHODS: Through a two-stage Delphi process, a core group (n = 20) reviewed draft statements and recommendations (n = 6), indicating levels of agreement. Following revisions, this process was repeated with a large expert panel (n = 243) from 73 countries.RESULTS: Consensus ranged from 88.8% to 96.9% (mean = 92.3%).CONCLUSIONS: This global consensus statement provides guidance on harmonizing the International Classification of Diseases coding for steatotic liver disease and future directions to advance the field.</p

Informaatikot kansainvälisessä hankkeessa : Informatiker i ett internationellt projekt

Arcadan ja ja Laurean kirjastot ovat parin vuoden ajan osallistuneet kansainväliseen The Developer of Digital Health and Welfare Services (DeDiWe) ‐hankkeeseen. Tarkoituksena on kehittää 30 opintopisteen laajuinen kokonaisuus, joka ohjaa opiskelijoita kehittämään sosiaali‐ ja terveysalan digitaalisia palveluja. Kehittämisessä tarvitaan moniammatillista osaamista ja yhteistyötä, joten mukana on hoito‐ ja sosiaalityön sekä liiketalouden lehtoreita, it‐osaajia ja informaatikoita. Opintokokonaisuutta on pilotoinut yli 80 hoito‐ ja sosiaalialan sekä liiketalouden opiskelijaa. Kansainväliseen hankkeeseen osallistuvat Arcadan ja Laurean lisäksi Latviasta Red Cross Medical College of Riga ja Virosta Tartu Health Care College
