Elites in Finnish energy policy and biogas as a motor vehicle fuel

2011

The intent of this research was to find out what is the state of Finnish energy policy when reviewing it from the vantage point of biogas as a motor vehicle fuel. It seemed, according to previous research, that Finnish energy policy is lead by an elite and that there was a lack in transparency of energy policy. Therefore, in addition to researching the question of transparency and the possible elite structure, the research questions were: Who are these elites? Why do they exist and what makes others not members of the elite? Within what context do they exist? The question “Who?” will define the elite structure in Finland. “Why?” will tell us why this elite structure exists, thus giving poss…

C8161-melanoomasolulinjan erittämien tekijöiden vaikutus fibroblastien hyaluronaanituotantoon

2011

Hyaluronaani on suurikokoinen soluväliaineen sokerirakenne. Se koostuu toistuvista sokerimolekyyleistä N- asetyyliglukosaminista ja glukuronihaposta. Hyaluronaani syntetisoidaan solukalvolla hyaluronaani- syntaasien (HAS) toimesta, joita nisäkkäillä on kolme isomuotoa (HAS1-3). Hyaluronaanin hajotus tapahtuu hyaluronidaasientsyymien (Hyal) toimesta. Hyaluronaanin pääasiallinen solukalvoreseptori on CD44, jonka avulla hyaluronaaniketjut ovat sitoutuneet solukalvoon. Hyaluronaania esiintyy runsaasti etenkin sidekudoksessa ja kerrostuneessa epiteelissä kuten ihossa. Hyaluronaanin määrän on havaittu lisääntyneen syövissä ja tämä korreloi useasti potilaan huonon ennusteen kanssa. Hyaluronaanin l…

Sotalapsena vietetty lapsuus

2017

Sotalapsi-termin ovat ottaneet käyttöön entiset sotalapset, jotka muistelivat lapsuuttaan sotalapsena ensimmäisen maailman sodan aikana. Sotalapsi-termiä on käytetty laajasti. Tutkimuksessani tarkoitan sotalapsilla lapsia, jotka on siirretty turvaan sodan jaloista. Suomesta lähti Ruotsiin lähti kokonaisarvion mukaan talvi- ja jatkosodan aikana 70 000-80 000 suomalaislasta. Samanlaisia lastensiirtoja oli tehty eri puolilla Eurooppaa. Suomesta lähetettyjen sotalasten määrä oli maailman suurin suhteutettuna Suomen väkilukuun. Selvitän pro gradu –tutkimuksessani Ruotsissa sotalapsena olleiden kolmen suomalaisen elämäntarinoita. Tarkastelutapani on elämäkerrallinen. Tutkimukseni kohdistuu vuosie…

The evolution of temperature tolerance and invasiveness in a fluctuating thermal environment

2016

The consequences of the climate change on species are still uncertain, despite of intensive research. Currently, rising temperature is not the only concern, since the climate change scenarios also predict increases in the amount of disturbances, such as storms, floods, and thermal fluctuations. Disturbances have also been shown to affect species’ evolution, for example by selecting for traits that are advantageous in fluctuating environments but are also facilitating invasiveness. In this thesis, I study the consequences of evolving in a fluctuating thermal environment by utilizing bacterial microcosms. First I tested the effects of fluctuating vs. constant temperature on the evolution of t…

Ulkomaantyökomennuksille mukaan muuttaneet suomalaisnaiset kertovat kokemuksistaan

2006

The objective of this qualitative study is to reveal the discursive reality of Finnish women, who have chosen to follow their husbands to expatriate assignments. The research material includes interviews of seventeen (17) Finnish housewives who lived in Singapore in 1999. The primary theoretical framework of the study is a social-constructive view, in which the reality is seen to have been constructed through meanings that create and maintain cultural practices, social roles and institutions. Gender is interpreted as produced socially, politically and in language. Human beings in the study exist as cultural and social beings with sex. An underlying assumption of the analysis is that the wom…
