Kolmiportaisen tuen mallin jalkautuminen Abu Dhabin suomalais-emiraattilaisiin kouluihin : opettajien kokemuksia

2018

Pro gradu -tutkielmani tarkoituksena oli tarkastella sekä erityispedagogisesta että etnologisesta näkökulmasta, miten kolmiportainen tuki on jalkautunut Abu Dhabin suomalais-emiraattilaisiin kouluihin siellä opettaneiden erityisopettajien näkökulmasta. Erityispedagogian näkökulmasta tarkasteluni kohteena oli miten kolmiportainen tuki on implementoitu Abu Dhabin suomalais-emiraattilaisissa alakouluissa, kun taas etnologian näkökulmasta tarkastelun kohteena oli suomalaisen koulutusosaamisen siirtäminen toiseen koulukulttuuriin osana koulutuskumppanuushanketta. Aihetta tutkin kolmeen tutkimuskysymyksen kautta: 1) Mitä kolmiportaisen tuen mallin sisältöjä ja tavoitteita koulutuskumppanuushankke…

Detrital footprint of the Mozambique ocean: U–Pb SHRIMP and Pb evaporation zircon geochronology of metasedimentary gneisses in eastern Madagascar

2003

Abstract The southern East African Orogen is a collisional belt where the identification of major suture zones has proved elusive. In this study, we apply U–Pb isotopic techniques to date detrital zircons from a key part of the East African Orogen, analyse their possible source region and discuss how this information can help in unravelling the orogen. U–Pb sensitive high-mass resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) and Pb evaporation analyses of detrital zircons from metasedimentary rocks in eastern Madagascar reveal that: (1) the protoliths of many of these rocks were deposited between ∼800 and 550 Ma; and (2) these rocks are sourced from regions with rocks that date back to over 3400 Ma, with…

Teacher-Student Relations in Two Tibetan Buddhist Groups in Helsinki

2017

AbstractBased on sixteen interviews with members of two Tibetan Buddhist groups in Helsinki, Finland, this article investigates how the role of the guru, power imbalance and power abuse are perceived by the students. This qualitative study aims at understanding what shape the reverence to the Vajrayana teacher takes in the egalitarian environment of a European country, where Buddhism is a relatively new phenomenon. The interviews show that while teachers are not losing importance, ways of choosing and paying respect to them changes. They also reveal confusion in defining abuse, and emphasis on personal agency and teachers’ accountability for avoiding it.

Dallo Stendhal italiano alla San Felice di Dumas: passioni e amarezze del Risorgimento nell'ottica degli stranieri

2012

Il saggio analizza l'immagine dei moti risorgimentali italiani proposta lungo l'Ottocento da diversi autori stranieri, in particolare francesi. The essay analzyzes the Italian Risorgimento's representation proposed by some foreign (especially French) authors.

Potential Roles of Peroxisomes in Alzheimer's Disease and in Dementia of the Alzheimer's Type

2012

In Alzheimer's disease (AD) and dementia of the Alzheimer's type (DAT), the role played by peroxisomes is not well known. Peroxisomes are present in all eukaryotic cells, with the exception of erythrocytes. They are involved in the β-oxidation process of long-chain fatty acids, very-long-chain fatty acids, and branched-chain fatty acids. They participate in the α-oxidation of phytanic acid, the biosynthesis of bile acids, and the breakdown of eicosanoids. Peroxisomes are also involved in the synthesis of specific fatty acids such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which is essential for the brain and retina, and plasmalogens (PLGN), which play crucial roles in neural cells and are essential com…

Maternal Diet and Nutrient Requirements in Pregnancy and Breastfeeding. An Italian Consensus Document.

2016

The importance of lifestyle and dietary habits during pregnancy and breastfeeding, for health of mothers and their offspring, is widely supported by the most recent scientific literature. The consumption of a varied and balanced diet from the preconceptional period is essential to ensure both maternal well-being and pregnancy outcomes. However, the risk of inadequate intakes of specific micronutrients in pregnancy and lactation is high even in the most industrialized countries. This particularly applies to docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), iron, iodine, calcium, folic acid, and vitamin D, also in the Italian population. Moreover, the risk of not reaching the adequate nutrient supply is increased …

Cannabinoid control of brain bioenergetics: Exploring the subcellular localization of the CB1 receptor

2014

Brain mitochondrial activity is centrally involved in the central control of energy balance. When studying mitochondrial functions in the brain, however, discrepant results might be obtained, depending on the experimental approaches. For instance, immunostaining experiments and biochemical isolation of organelles expose investigators to risks of false positive and/or false negative results. As an example, the functional presence of cannabinoid type 1 (CB1) receptors on brain mitochondrial membranes (mtCB1) was recently reported and rapidly challenged, claiming that the original observation was likely due to artifact results. Here, we addressed this issue by directly comparing the procedures…

Increasing concentration of polyunsaturated fatty acids in browning boreal lakes is driven by nuisance algaGonyostomum

2020

Elevated concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) promote browning of lakes, which alters the physicochemical properties of water and ecosystem functioning. However, browning‐induced changes in basal production of polyunsaturated fatty acids from the n‐3 and n‐6 families (n‐3 and n‐6 PUFA) in lakes are not fully understood. The concentrations of PUFA, which are micronutrients required to maintain growth and reproduction of consumers, have been suggested to either rise or decline in seston as a response to lake browning. Elevated DOC concentrations may also promote bacterial biomass and production and thus potentially increase the concentration of bacterial fatty acids (BAFA) in sest…
