Building on 150 Years of Knowledge : The Freshwater Isopod Asellus aquaticus as an Integrative Eco-Evolutionary Model System

2021

Interactions between organisms and their environments are central to how biological diversity arises and how natural populations and ecosystems respond to environmental change. These interactions involve processes by which phenotypes are affected by or respond to external conditions (e.g., via phenotypic plasticity or natural selection) as well as processes by which organisms reciprocally interact with the environment (e.g., via eco-evolutionary feedbacks). Organism-environment interactions can be highly dynamic and operate on different hierarchical levels, from genes and phenotypes to populations, communities, and ecosystems. Therefore, the study of organism-environment interactions requir…

Cross-border integration of universities as a possible research topic in border studies

2021

The text deals with the cross-border cooperation of universities as a possible new research topic in border studies. We identified two important associations of universities operating in border areas in the EU core and two associations gathering universities from Czech, Polish and Slovak areas. Then we tried to identify the areas in which these universities cooperate. It turned out that the principal difference is in a significantly higher number of joint study programs. This has probably a link to the high cross-border integration in the EU core. We believe that the topic is promising and deserves much higher attention, as it probably points at new and not really exploited cross-border int…

Spherical harmonic expansion of fundamental solutions and their derivatives for homogenous elliptic operators

2017

In this work, a unified scheme for computing the fundamental solutions of a three-dimensional homogeneous elliptic partial differential operator is presented. The scheme is based on the Rayleigh expansion and on the Fourier representation of a homogeneous function. The scheme has the advantage of expressing the fundamental solutions and their derivatives up to the desired order without any term-by-term differentiation. Moreover, the coefficients of the series need to be computed only once, thus making the presented scheme attractive for numerical implementation. The scheme is employed to compute the fundamental solution of isotropic elasticity showing that the spherical harmonics expansions…

Fuusion jälkeinen IT-integraatio kuntaliitoksessa

2011

Yritykset tavoittelevat fuusioilla tyypillisesti nopeaa kasvua tai aiempaa vahvempaa markkina-asemaa. Vastaavasti kunnat pyrkivät kohentamaan talouttaan ja parantamaan palveluntuotantoaan kuntaliitosten avulla. Fuusioihin keskeisesti liittyvässä IT-toimintojen yhteensovittamisessa kuitenkin usein epäonnistutaan. Tässä tutkielmassa tarkastellaan fuusion jälkeisen IT-integraation läpivientiä strategisesta näkökulmasta, selvitetään millaisia välineitä kirjallisuus tarjoaa fuusion jälkeisen IT-integraation läpiviennin arvioimiseen ja selvitetään, miten järjestelmäintegraation läpiviennissä onnistuttiin Jyväskylän kaupungin, Jyväskylän maalaiskunnan ja Korpilahden kunnan välisessä kuntaliitokses…

Le clausole generali

2021

The essay aims the fundamental issue of general clauses as particular type of rule. The analyze then focuses on the valutative nature of the general clauses e the process of their concretization, called "valutative integration". Finally, the study deals with the distinction between general clauses, principles and values.

On Descriptive Characterizations of an Integral Recovering a Function from Its $$L^r$$-Derivative

2022

The notion of Lr-variational measure generated by a function F ∈ Lr[a, b] is introduced and, in terms of absolute continuity of this measure, a descriptive characterization of the HKr -integral recovering a function from its Lr-derivative is given. It is shown that the class of functions generating absolutely continuous Lr-variational measure coincides with the class of ACGr -functions which was introduced earlier, and that both classes coincide with the class of the indefinite HKr-integrals under the assumption of Lr-differentiability almost everywhere of the functions consisting these classes

O047. The sound-induced flash illusions reveal visual cortex hyperexcitability in cluster headache

2015

Objectives Pathophysiology of cluster headache (CH) is not wellknown. Although posterior hypothalamus has been suggested to play a pivotal role, evidence exists of a more diffuse involvement of the central nervous system including brainstem and cerebral cortex. In this regard, we recently observed increased motor cortical excitability in episodic CH patients both outside and inside bout [1]. The sound-induced flash illusions (SIFI) represent an example of multisensory integration, and provide a tool to indirectly explore the excitability state of the visual cortex [2]. SIFI are classified as “fission” and “fusion” illusions. When one visual stimulus (flash) is accompanied by two or more aud…

2015

The combination of local orientation collinearity and spatial frequency contrast in contour integration was studied in two experiments using a 2AFC contour detection and discrimination task. Target contours were defined by local orientation collinearity, spatial frequency contrast between contour and background elements, or both cues. Experiments differed in the source of spatial frequency contrast by manipulating the spatial frequency of either contour or background elements. Cue summation gains, defined as the performance benefit of double cue conditions over single cue conditions, were evaluated and tested against the predictions derived from probability summation and linear summation. S…

Interaction of sight and sound in the perception and experience of musical performance

2016

Recently, Vuoskoski, Thompson, Clarke, and Spence (2014) demonstrated that visual kinematic performance cues may be more important than auditory performance cues in terms of observers’ ratings of expressivity perceived in audiovisual excerpts of piano playing, and that visual kinematic performance cues had crossmodal effects on the perception of auditory expressivity. The present study was designed to extend these findings, and to provide additional information about the roles of sight and sound in the perception and experience of musical performance. Experiment 1 investigated the relative contributions of auditory and visual kinematic performance features to participants’ subjective emotio…
