👉 Part 1 of our blog series documenting a workshop on #XML & #XSLT at the #UniversityOfOslo dsenetwork.hypotheses.org/528

A combination of lecture & hands-on with experts Ellen Wiger from the #NationalLibraryOfNorway, Polina Yordanova from the #UniversityOfHelsinki & Robert Kristof Paulsen from the #UniversityOfBergen library.

We concluded the 1st year of the #SustainableDSE network at the #UiO library, dedicated to skills development, training and research support for #DigitalScholarlyEditions

Sustainable Digital Scholarly Editions NetworkFrom XML to XHTML. XSL Transformations as a Tool for Text Publishing – Pt.1On November 20th 2024, the Sustainable Digital Scholarly Editions Network organized the one-day hands-on workshop “Getting Started with XSLT”. The aim was to introduce XSLT as a tool for publishing digital scholarly editions. I had the pleasure of being in charge of the workshop’s first session, “From XML to XHTML: XSLT transformations as a tool […]

It's getting closer!

Action in Perception 2024: Presence, Art, Making, Life
5-6 September 2024, Helsinki, Finland

On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of Alva Noë's Action In Perception, a seminal work in enactivist theory, this conference brings together leading international scholars to explore enactivist themes, reassess the theory's current position, and stimulate future research across different fields (in and outside philosophy and cognitive science) and orientations (within and without enactivism and phenomenology).

Speakers include #AlvaNoë #ShaunGallagher #EvanThompson

Participation is free, but registration is required (by August 29th).

Also part of the programme is a streamed panel discussion on "Mind, Body, and Technology - The Big Unanswered Questions"! Links available through the conference website.

Aalto University and University Helsinki have strong Bayesian/ML/AI community. We contribute to open source software packages. Aalto pays postdocs well compared to many other countries. We have plenty of travel funds. Occupational and national public healthcare in Finland are great and free. You can manage in work and everyday life well with English (no need to learn Finnish unless you want to)

Ryhmämme #FINNMODY-osaston arvokas havainnon tyypin 1 eli nuoruusiän eli #insuliininpuutos’diabeteksesta: Jopa 10% #T1D -potilaista joilla ei ollut tyypillisiä vasta-aineita, löytyikin #MODY-diabeteksen mutaatio.

Havainnolla on merkitystä, sillä MODYn hoito saattaakin olla aivan muuta kuin insuliini. Joskus pärjätään ruokavaliollakin, toisinaan tablettihoidolla.

SpringerLinkIdentification of monogenic variants in more than ten per cent of children without type 1 diabetes-related autoantibodies at diagnosis in the Finnish Pediatric Diabetes Register - DiabetologiaAims/hypothesis Monogenic forms of diabetes (MODY, neonatal diabetes mellitus and syndromic forms) are rare, and affected individuals may be misclassified and treated suboptimally. The prevalence of type 1 diabetes is high in Finnish children but systematic screening for monogenic diabetes has not been conducted. We assessed the prevalence and clinical manifestations of monogenic diabetes in children initially registered with type 1 diabetes in the Finnish Pediatric Diabetes Register (FPDR) but who had no type 1 diabetes-related autoantibodies (AABs) or had only low-titre islet cell autoantibodies (ICAs) at diagnosis. Methods The FPDR, covering approximately 90% of newly diagnosed diabetic individuals aged ≤15 years in Finland starting from 2002, includes data on diabetes-associated HLA genotypes and AAB data (ICA, and autoantibodies against insulin, GAD, islet antigen 2 and zinc transporter 8) at diagnosis. A next generation sequencing gene panel including 42 genes was used to identify monogenic diabetes. We interpreted the variants in HNF1A by using the gene-specific standardised criteria and reported pathogenic and likely pathogenic findings only. For other genes, we also reported variants of unknown significance if an individual’s phenotype suggested monogenic diabetes. Results Out of 6482 participants, we sequenced DNA for 152 (2.3%) testing negative for all AABs and 49 (0.8%) positive only for low-titre ICAs (ICAlow). A monogenic form of diabetes was revealed in 19 (12.5%) of the AAB-negative patients (14 [9.2%] had pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants) and two (4.1%) of the ICAlow group. None had ketoacidosis at diagnosis or carried HLA genotypes conferring high risk for type 1 diabetes. The affected genes were GCK, HNF1A, HNF4A, HNF1B, INS, KCNJ11, RFX6, LMNA and WFS1. A switch from insulin to oral medication was successful in four of five patients with variants in HNF1A, HNF4A or KCNJ11. Conclusions/interpretation More than 10% of AAB-negative children with newly diagnosed diabetes had a genetic finding associated with monogenic diabetes. Because the genetic diagnosis can lead to major changes in treatment, we recommend referring all AAB-negative paediatric patients with diabetes for genetic testing. Low-titre ICAs in the absence of other AABs does not always indicate a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. Graphical abstract
