Total and regional body adiposity increases during menopause : evidence from a follow‐up study

2022

For women, menopausal transition is a time of significant hormonal changes, which may contribute to altered body composition and regional adipose tissue accumulation. Excess adiposity, and especially adipose tissue accumulation in the central body region, increases women's risk of cardiovascular and metabolic conditions and affects physical functioning. We investigated the associations between menopausal progression and total and regional body adiposity measured with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and computed tomography in two longitudinal cohort studies of women aged 47–55 (n = 230 and 148, mean follow-up times 1.3 ± 0.7 and 3.9 ± 0.2 years, mean baseline BMI 25.5 kg/m2). We also examin…

Ecosystem health and planetary well-being

2024

Healthy ecosystems support the well-being of all organisms on Earth. Yet, the overexploitation of natural resources for human needs and profit has resulted in widespread ecosystem degradation, loss of biodiversity, and climate emergency, which pose fundamental threats to planetary well-being. Impoverished ecosystems may become dysfunctional and fail to provide for the needs of many organisms, including humans and wildlife. Changes in ecosystem functioning and wildlife distributions affect the prevalence and spread of pathogens, with consequences for the health and well-being of human and wildlife communities alike. Increasing contact between humans and domestic and wild animals enable patho…

Plasmid Viability Depends on the Ecological Setting of Hosts within a Multiplasmid Community

2022

Plasmids are extrachromosomal genetic elements, some of which disperse horizontally between different strains and species of bacteria. They are a major factor in the dissemination of virulence factors and antibiotic resistance. Understanding the ecology of plasmids has a notable anthropocentric value, and therefore, the interactions between bacterial hosts and individual plasmids have been studied in detail. However, bacterial systems often carry multiple genetically distinct plasmids, but dynamics within these multiplasmid communities have remained unstudied. Here, we set to investigate the survival of 11 mobilizable or conjugative plasmids under five different conditions where the hosts h…

Are habitat loss, predation risk and climate related to the drastic decline in a Siberian flying squirrel population? A 15 year study

2014

To devise effective conservation actions, it is important to know which factors are associated with the population parameters of a declining population. Using mark–recapture methods, we estimated the annual population size, growth rate and survival probability of an ear-tagged flying squirrel population over a 15-year period in a 4,500 ha study area in western Finland. The species is considered vulnerable, but detailed knowledge concerning population sizes or trends is lacking. The population parameters and changes therein were regressed against habitat availability, an indicator of predation pressure, and mean winter temperature (an indicator of climate change), to reveal potential reasons…

Nuorten arvioimien vahvuuksien yhteydet minäpystyvyysuskomusten, opettaja-oppilassuhteiden ja vertaissuhteisiin liittyvien pelkojen muutoksiin siirry…

2016

Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää akateemisten minäpystyvyysuskomusten, myönteisten opettaja-oppilassuhteiden ja vertaissuhteisiin liittyvien pelkojen muutoksia siirryttäessä alakoulusta yläkouluun ja miten vahvuudet ja sukupuoli ovat yhteydessä siirtymässä tapahtuviin mahdollisiin muutoksiin edellä mainituissa ilmiöissä. Tarkastelun kohteena olivat vahvuudet tunne-elämän hallinnassa, ihmissuhteissa ja koulussa. Tutkimuksen tavoite oli lisätä tietoa vahvuuksien merkityksestä siirtymävaiheessa ja selvittää voidaanko nuorten arvioimien vahvuuksien avulla ennustaa yläkouluun sopeutumista. Tutkimuksen aineisto oli osa ISKE-tutkimushanketta. Aineisto kerättiin kyselomakkeilla vuosina 2010–…
