Emergent attributes in person perception: A comparative test of response time predictions.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008)
In person perception, emergent attributes are attributes that people ascribe to members of a rare or novel category combination, although they would not ascribe the same attributes to members of either of the constituent categories. The present paper first describes the processing mechanisms suggested by three theoretical models of attribute emergence. Then, competing response time predictions are ...
Pit and fissure sealants in dental public health – application criteria and general policy in Finland
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2009-02-04)
Background: Pit and fissure sealants (sealants) are widely used as a non-operative preventive
method in public dental health in Finland. Most children under 19 years of age attend the
community-organized dental health services free of charge. The aims of this study were to find out
to what extent sealants were applied, what the attitudes of dental professionals towards sealant
application were, ...

Oral Health Care Reform in Finland – aiming to reduce inequity in care provision
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008-01-28)
Background: In Finland, dental services are provided by a public (PDS) and a private sector. In the past,
children, young adults and special needs groups were entitled to care and treatment from the public dental
services (PDS). A major reform in 2001 – 2002 opened the PDS and extended subsidies for private dental
services to all adults. It aimed to increase equity by improving adults' access to ...
The recent transfer of a homing endonuclease gene
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2005)
The myxomycete Didymium iridis (isolate Panama 2)
contains a mobile group I intron named Dir.S956-1
after position 956 in the nuclear small subunit (SSU) rRNA gene. The intron is efficiently spread through homing by the intron-encoded homing endonuclease I-DirI. Homing endonuclease genes (HEGs) usually spread with their associated introns as a unit, but infrequently also spread independent of ...
Does chemotherapy improve Quality of Life in NSCLC PS 2?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2009-03)
Introduction
<br>Nearly 40% of patients with advanced NSCLC are in performance status (PS) 2. These patients have a shorter life expectancy than PS 0/1 patients and they are underrepresented in clinical trials. Data on how platinum-based combination chemotherapy affects Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) of patients with PS 2 are scarce and the treatment of this important group of patients is ...
Aneuploidy prediction and tumor classification with heterogeneous hidden conditional random fields
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2009)
The heterogeneity of cancer cannot always be recognized by tumor morphology, but may be reflected by the underlying genetic aberrations. Array comparative genome hybridization (array-CGH) methods provide high-throughput data on genetic copy numbers, but determining the clinically relevant copy number changes remains a challenge. Conventional classification methods for linking recurrent alterations ...

The third helix of the homeodomain of paired class homeodomain proteins acts as a recognition helix both for DNA and protein interactions
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2005)
The transcription factor Pax6 is essential for the development of the eyes and the central nervous system of vertebrates and invertebrates. Pax6 contains two DNA-binding domains; an N-terminal paired domain and a centrally located homeodomain. We have previously shown that the vertebrate paired-less isoform of Pax6 (Pax6ΔPD), and several other homeodomain proteins, interact with the full-length ...
Parathyroid hormone, but not vitamin D, is associated with the metabolic syndrome in morbidly obese women and men : a cross-sectional study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2009-02-03)
Background: The prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism is high among morbidly obese
subjects. Further, low serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25 [OH]D) and magnesium have been associated with increased
risk of the metabolic syndrome (MS), and recently, a possible link between PTH and MS has been reported. Although it is well
known that the synthesis and secretion ...
