Kielipesissä elvytetään uhanalaista saamen kieltä
2017
Tutkin joulukuussa 2016 valmistuneessa väitöskirjassani saamenkielisen kielipesän arjen käytänteitä. Tutkimuksessani seurasin yhden pohjoissaamenkielisen kielipesän arkea yhden toimintavuoden aikana. Tutkin erityisesti, minkälaisista toiminnoista saamenkielinen kielikylpy kielipesässä rakentuu ja miten saamen kielen käyttöä tuetaan ja elvytetään kielipesän toiminnoissa. Esittelen tässä artikkelissa lyhyesti saamenkielistä kielipesätoimintaa ja väitöstutkimukseni tuloksia. nonPeerReviewed
Eteläboreaalisen vyöhykkeen putkilokasvien lajirunsaus maisematasolla
2014
Biodiversiteetin epätasaista jakaantumista on usein tutkittu putkilokasveilla, koska ne ovat ravintoketjun ensimmäinen taso. Putkilokasvien lajirunsauden selittäjät riippuvat mittakaavasta. Suurilla alueilla auringon energian määrä ja veden saatavuus selittävät hyvin putkilokasvien lajimäärää pohjoisella pallonpuoliskolla. Maisematasolla ilmasto ei ole merkittävä selittäjä. Paikallisella tasolla lajirunsauteen vaikuttavat abioottiset ja bioottiset tekijät. Boreaalisessa metsässä ravinteisuus, vesitalous ja valon määrä selittävät lajimäärää. Lisäksi ihmisen toimilla on merkitystä putkilokasvien lajimäärään. Se kasvaa, koska siemeniä kulkeutuu ihmisen mukana uusille alueille. Ihmisen toiminta…

N-Alkyl ammonium resorcinarene salts: multivalent halogen-bonded deep-cavity cavitands
2015
N-Cyclohexyl ammonium resorcinarene halides, stabilized by an intricate array of hydrogen bonds in a cavitand-like assembly, form multivalent halogen-bonded deep-cavity cavitands with perfluoroiodobenzenes. As observed from the macromolar to infinite concentration range through crystal growth and single crystal X-ray analyses, four 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzenes form moderate halogen bonds with the bromides of the N-cyclohexyl ammonium resorcinarene bromides leading to a deep-cavity cavitand-like structure. In this assembly, the N-cyclohexyl ammonium resorcinarene bromide also acts as a guest and sits in the upper cavity of the assembly interacting with the 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene throu…
Passive sampling in monitoring of nonylphenol ethoxylates and nonylphenol in aquatic environments
2012
The present practices for determining the concentration levels of various pollutants are in many respects insufficient and for this reason, there is an urgent need especially to develop more cost-effective sampling methods. In this study, a novel passive sampling tool (the Chemcatcher®) for monitoring nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEOs) and nonylphenol (NP) in aqueous media was tested. These environmentally harmful substances have been widely used in different household and industrial applications and they affect aquatic ecosystems, for example, by acting as endocrine disrupting compounds. The highest accumulation of NPEOs and NP in laboratory-scale tests was obtained when using an SDB-XC (stan…
Fast blue B functionalized silica-polymer composite to evaluate 3,5-dihy-droxyhydrocinnamic acid as biomarker of gluten intake
2021
Celiac disease is an immune-mediated systemic disorder elicited by gluten and related prolamines in genetically susceptible individuals. The current treatment is a strict and lifelong gluten-free diet. However, compliance with the gluten-free diet is not always adequate and many food products contain low concentrations of gluten. The determination of dietary transgressions is a challenge for patients, physicians and dietitians. Alkylresorcinols (AR) have been proposed as sensitive and specific biomarkers of gluten consumption. In this work silica-polymer composites doped with fast blue B reagent (FB) have been used to estimate alkylresorcinols in biological samples. The proposed colorimetri…
Possible Implications for Improved Osteogenesis? The Combination of Platelet-Rich Fibrin With Different Bone Substitute Materials
2021
Bone substitute materials (BSM) are widely used in oral regeneration, but sufficient angiogenesis is crucial for osteogenesis. The combination of BSM with autologous thrombocyte concentrations such as platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) may represent a clinical approach to overcome this limitation. This study analyzes the early influence on osteoblast (HOB) in vitro. Here, four different BSM (allogeneic, alloplastic, and two of xenogeneic origin) were combined with PRF. After the incubation with osteoblasts for 24 h, cell viability, migration, and proliferation were assessed. Next, marker of proliferation, migration, and differentiation were evaluated on gene and protein levels in comparison to the …
Optimal portfolio allocation with real assets : a Finnish perspective
2017
Alternative market assets, i.e. those which are not part of the ''traditional'' financial assets, have become increasingly popular globally during the last decade. The purpose of this study is to examine the potential benefits of including real investment assets, specifically timberland and real estate holdings, for a investor investing to either domestic or international markets. Specifically the questions to be asked are: Do Finnish real investment assets offer diversification benefits in respect of increased risk-adjusted returns? What are the optimal asset allocations? The analyzed time-series for alternative investments represent quarterly total returns of average Finnish timberland an…
