"Sitä mä oisin koululta toivonut, et ois sitä apua saanut!" : kansainvälisesti adoptoitujen lasten vanhempien kuvaukset lastensa ensimmäisestä kouluv…
2015
Tämän laadullisen tapaustutkimuksen tarkoitus oli selvittää adoptiovanhempien kokemuksia lastensa ensimmäisestä kouluvuodesta. Tavoitteena oli tutkia, miten vanhemmat kokivat lastensa sopeutumisen kouluyhteisöön sekä millaisia haasteita kansainvälisesti adoptoidut lapset olivat koulussa kohdanneet. Haastattelin kuuden kansainvälisesti eri maista adoptoidun lapsen vanhempaa. Haastattelutyypeistä tulin valinneeksi teemahaastattelun. Litteroin aineistoni välittömästi haastatteluiden jälkeen. Analysoin tulokset aineistolähtöisesti sisällönanalyysia käyttäen. Tutkimukseni mukaan adoptiolapset olivat kohdanneet koulussa ihonväriinsä kohdistuvaa ihmettelyä tai nimittelyä. Kaverisuhteet olivat tuot…
Lääkevalmisteet ja ravintolisät suomalaisessa kilpaurheilussa
2016
Koponen, M. 2016. Lääkevalmisteet ja ravintolisät suomalaisessa kilpaurheilussa. Terveystieteiden laitos, Jyväskylän yliopisto, liikuntalääketieteen pro gradu -tutkielma, 56 s, 5 liitettä. Aikaisemmat tutkimukset ovat osoittaneet lääkevalmisteiden ja ravintolisien käytön olevan yleistä kilpaurheilijoiden keskuudessa. Tutkimusaineistoa on kerätty haastattelemalla, semistrukturoiduilla kyselylomakkeilla sekä Olympialaisissa dopingtestauksen yhteydessä myös dopingtestipöytäkirjoista. Suomessa dopingtestipöytäkirjoja ei ollut aikaisemmin käytetty tutkimusaineistona. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää suomalaisten kilpaurheilijoiden lääkevalmisteiden ja ravintolisien käyttöä vuonna 20…
Major loss of coralline algal diversity in response to ocean acidification
2021
[Abstract] Calcified coralline algae are ecologically important in rocky habitats in the marine photic zone worldwide and there is growing concern that ocean acidification will severely impact them. Laboratory studies of these algae in simulated ocean acidification conditions have revealed wide variability in growth, photosynthesis and calcification responses, making it difficult to assess their future biodiversity, abundance and contribution to ecosystem function. Here, we apply molecular systematic tools to assess the impact of natural gradients in seawater carbonate chemistry on the biodiversity of coralline algae in the Mediterranean and the NW Pacific, link this to their evolutionary h…
La formazione dei maestri elementari nell’Italia degli anni Cinquanta: verso la democratizzazione della società
2022
Il presente contributo intende riflettere sulla formazione dei maestri italiani nel secondo dopoguerra, con particolare attenzione agli anni Cinquanta. Attraverso un breve riferimento al periodo fascista, caratterizzato dalle riforme di Giovanni Gentile, si farà notare come molti maestri elementari venissero formati all’interno di Istituti magistrali, la cui durata fu prolungata da tre a quattro anni e dove gran parte dell’attenzione fu rivolta a una preparazione teorica, come quella derivante dallo studio del latino e della filosofia, a scapito dello svolgimento del tirocinio e dello studio della psicologia. L’attenzione sarà poi rivolta agli anni Cinquanta, durante i quali, complice il de…
Changes in Oxidative Stress Index and Lipid Peroxidation Product in the Brain of Rats with Lesion of Central Dopaminergic System after Propofol Admin…
2019
Propofol is a commonly used intravenous anesthetic agent with antioxidant properties. However, the effect of propofol on oxidative stress index (OSI) and lipid peroxidation in Parkinson’s disease is still unknown. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of propofol on OSI and malondialdehyde (MDA) level in the selected brain regions of the rats with Parkinson’s disease (PD). 32 male Wistar rats were divided into four groups: I- control group, II- group with PD, III-control group with propofol, IV-PD group with propofol. 60mg/kg of propofol was given to the 8-weeks-old rats intraperitoneally, and the selected parts of the rats’ brains (frontal cortex, striatum, thalamus and hippocampu…
How Relevant Are Risk Perceptions, Effort, and Performance Expectancy in Mobile Banking Adoption?
2018
This article provides a comprehensive overview of the adoption process using evidence from m-banking adoption in Pakistan. A survey design was used and 189 responses were received from across Pakistan and analyzed using Smart PLS application. Findings suggest that research on the effect of risk in the adoption process remains inconclusive. Contrarily, consumers have overcome many fears due to the usefulness, indispensability, high security features, and effort expended in the use of financial services delivered through m-banking. Perceived risk's (PR) direct influence was found to be generally weak. However, PR plays a major role in the pre-adoption process because it's weak and direct inhi…
Dissimilar Regulation of Antimicrobial Proteins in the Midgut of Spodoptera exigua Larvae Challenged with Bacillus thuringiensis Toxins or Baculoviru…
2015
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and lysozymes are the main effectors of the insect immune system, and they are involved in both local and systemic responses. Among local responses, midgut immune reaction plays an important role in fighting pathogens that reach the insect body through the oral route, as do many microorganisms used in pest control. Under this point of view, understanding how insects defend themselves locally during the first phases of infections caused by food-borne pathogens is important to further improve microbial control strategies. In the present study, we analyzed the transcriptional response of AMPs and lysozymes in the midgut of Spodoptera exigua (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae…
Associations between the dopamine D4 receptor gene polymorphisms and personality traits in elite athletes.
2019
Personality traits and temperament may affect sports performance. Previous studies suggest that dopamine may play an important role in behavior regulation and physical exercise performance. The aim of this study is to determine associations between dopamine D4 receptor gene (DRD4 Ex3) polymorphisms and personality traits (such as neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeability and conscientiousness) in elite combat athletes. A total of 302 physically active, unrelated, self-reported Caucasian participants were recruited for this study. The participants consisted of 200 elite male combat athletes and 102 healthy male participants (control group). For personality trait measurements, the NEO…
Binding analysis of Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1 proteins in the sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae).
2015
Sugarcane borer (Diatraea saccharalis, F.) is an important corn pest in South America and United States. The aim of the present study was to analyze the susceptibility and binding interactions of three Cry1A proteins and Cry1Fa in a Brazilian D. saccharalis population. The results showed that Cry1Ab was the most active, followed by Cry1Ac, Cry1Fa and Cry1Aa. All Cry1-biotinylated proteins tested bound specifically to the D. saccharalis brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV). Heterologous competition assays showed shared binding sites for all Cry1A proteins and another one shared by Cry1Fa and Cry1Ab. Thus, pyramiding Cry1Aa/Cry1Ac and Cry1F proteins would be a recommended strategy for managi…
