OTKES-SIAFin suositukset kohdentuvat omavalvonnan kehittämiseen, leikkaussalin ulkopuolisen anestesiatoiminnan turvallisen toteuttamisen määrittämiseen sekä tiedonkeruun vahvistamiseen yksityisessä sosiaali- ja terveydenhuollossa.

Potilaan kuolema magneettikuvauksen aikana annetun anestesian seurauksena nostaa esille leikkaussalien ulkopuolisen anestesian valvonnan, omavalvonnan ja toteutuksen hankaluuden
Onnettomuustutkintakeskus (OTKES) on saanut valmiiksi turvallisuustutkinnan Kuopiossa yksityisellä lääkäriasemalla 2.1.2025 sattuneesta tapahtumasta, jossa potilas nukutettiin magneettikuvauksen aikan...

THE CLEAREST VIEW OF THE EGG NEBULA FROM HUBBLE JUST DROPPED!!!
In the image center, an opaque oval cloud of gray gas aligned from 1 o\u2019clock to 7 o\u2019clock hides a star. Two strong beams of light from the star emerge from large holes in both sides of the cloud, forming narrow cones extending toward 10 o\u2019clock and 4 o\u2019clock. The central cloud is surrounded by concentric, wispy shells of gas illuminated by the star\u2019s light. The shells reflect extra light where they\u2019re hit by the twin beams. A crowd of smaller stars with cross-shaped spikes over them surrounds the nebula on a black background.

Tarvitaanko vakava onnettomuus, kuten Espanjassa, että tällaiseenkin velkaan herätään?

Suomen teillä, radoilla ja vesiväylillä on taas enemmän korjattavaa – korjausvelka kasvoi sadalla miljoonalla eurolla
Väylävirasto on julkaissut tuoreet tilastot Suomen väyläverkon korjausvelasta. Korjattavaa olisi nyt lähes 4,3 miljardin euron edestä.

This 👇🏼 is something Russian political leadership would never do. They only understand force and think helping is a sign of weakness.

It does highlight the historical difference between USSR/Russia and USA.

On this day in 1992, Operation Provide Hope, a major U.S.-led humanitarian airlift, was launched right after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Humanitarian aid was airlifted across Russia as food shortages ravaged the country.

This week’s image is of Abell 1489! Gemini’s GMOS-N captured this striking image, where nearly every visible object is a galaxy. These crowded neighborhoods are excellent for studying the life cycle of galaxies. Check out the 🧵 for papers on galaxy clusters!

A wide-field, deep-space image of the galaxy cluster Abell 1489, showing a dense field of thousands of galaxies. At the center of the image is a massive concentration of yellowish-white elliptical galaxies that form the cluster core. Surrounding this core are countless smaller galaxies in a variety of shapes and colors.

Here's a good use for "AI" (a rebranded neural net, really): sorting through 100 million Hubble images & identifying hundreds of celestial anomalies.

The set includes peculiar colliding galaxies, gravitational lenses, planet-forming hamburgers, and true enigmas. 🔭🧪

www.esa.int/Science_Expl...
Six previously-undiscovered, weird and fascinating astrophysical objects are displayed in this new image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. These were discovered by researchers from the European Space Agency using a new AI-assisted method. The AI tool allowed them to search nearly 100 million image cutouts and uncover anomalous objects including gravitational lenses, jellyfish galaxies with gaseous ‘tentacles’, merging and interacting galaxies, galaxies featuring rings and arcs and more.

Ever heard of lenticular galaxies?

#Hubble just captured one 187 Mly away in Pegasus. 🔭🧪

It's NGC 7722: nothing like a classic spiral or a plain elliptical.

This amazing hybrid looks like a cosmic lens with dark dust rings swirling all around it.

➡️ esahubble.org/images/potm2...

#universe
Image description from the Hubble/ESA release: "A disc-shaped galaxy. It glows brightly at the centre and shines a faint white light all around it. The disc is made up of tightly-packed rings of dust, some darker and some lighter. Wide, long lanes of dark reddish dust cross the galaxy in front of its edge, blocking out some of its light; the long strands twist and break apart at each side. A couple of nearby stars and distant galaxies are also visible on the black background."

Lasten turvallisuutta varmistavat käytännöt ja lasten luvatta poistumiseen liittyvät yhteistyökäytännöt yhtenä tarkastelun kohteena.

Complex cloud shapes as well as small cometary-shaped clouds. The clouds have a dark inner part and a bright rim. The bright rim is called a photodissociation region.

This black-and-white photograph depicts a winter forest where slender, bare tree trunks stand out sharply against the bright, snowy backdrop. The branches are lightly dusted with fresh snow, accentuating their structure and direction. In the distance, the trees blur into a milky haze, adding softness and depth to the composition. The snow on the ground is smooth and untouched, and the entire scene radiates quiet, calm, and a touch of unreality, as if time in this forest had paused for a moment.

Nice. This is probably the result of the working group on UNCLOS:

”Vessels shall sail under the flag of only one State and vessels that sail under the flags of two or more states, using them according to convenience, may be treated as a ship without nationality, as according to UNCLOS Article 92.”

Can you believe it? 40 years since #Voyager2 nailed that crazy crescent Uranus pic. 🔭

Jan 25, 1986 – probe's already booking it out of there after the real close shave on the 24th.

Just this thin glowing slice against black space... hits different every time.

Miten kansallinen turvallisuus paranee siitä, että poliisi saa tiedon rikoksesta epäillyn terveystiedosta? Mitä poliisi sillä tiedolla tekee?

Mahdollinen sairaus ole pakkokeinoperuste, eikä tieto edesauta rikostutkintaa mitenkään

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
