Organocatalytic Oxa-Michael/Michael/Michael/Aldol Condensation Quadruple Domino Sequence : Asymmetric Synthesis of Tricyclic Chromanes
2018
An efficient and highly stereoselective one-pot, four-component synthesis of functionalized tricyclic chromanes has been achieved through an organocatalyzed quadruple domino reaction. The reaction sequence involves an oxa-Michael/Michael/Michael/aldol condensation between alcohols, 2 equiv of acrolein, and nitrochromenes to generate the pharmaceutically important tricyclic chromanes bearing three contiguous stereogenic centers including a chiral tetrasubstituted carbon center in good domino yields (30–70%) and excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities (>20:1 dr and >99% ee). peerReviewed
Water-Soluble Cuprizone Derivative: Synthesis, Characterization, and in Vitro Studies
2019
The cuprizone mouse model is one of the most accepted model systems for the investigation of oligodendrocyte degeneration, a process critically involved in the pathogenesis of diseases such as multiple sclerosis or schizophrenia. In order to substitute the in vivo experiments by in vitro approaches, the amine derivative BiMPi is introduced as a water-soluble alternative to cuprizone. Regarding superoxide dismutase activity, toxicity for oligodendrocytes, and disturbance of mitochondrial membrane potential, BiMPi shows similar in vitro effects as is observed in vivo for cuprizone. peerReviewed
Sixth graders’ selection and integration when writing from multiple online texts
2022
AbstractThis study examined students’ ability to select relevant ideas from multiple online texts and integrate those ideas in their written products. Students (N = 162) used a web-based platform to complete an online inquiry task in which they read three texts presenting different perspectives on computer gaming and wrote an article for a school magazine on the issue based on these texts. Students selected two snippets from each text during reading and wrote their article with the selected snippets available. The selected snippets were scored according to their relevance for completing the task, and the written products were scored according to their integration quality. The results showed…
Avoin adoptio : systemaattinen kirjallisuuskatsaus kansainvälisestä tutkimuksesta
2012
Tutkimuksen tehtävänä on tarkastella, millaisena adoptiojärjestelynä avoin adoptio näyttäytyy kansainvälisessä tutkimuksessa. Tutkimuksessa keskitytään kuvaamaan, minkälainen adoptiojärjestely avoin adoptio on, ja minkälaista on olla mukana avoimessa adoptiossa adoptiovanhempien ja –lapsen sekä biologisen perheen näkökulmasta. Tutkimuksessa tuodaan esiin adoption eri osapuolten kokemuksia ja tunteita avoimessa adoptiossa elämisestä. Tutkimuksen tehtävänä on myös selvittää, miten avointa adoptiota on tutkittu kansainvälisesti. Tutkimusaineistona tutkimuksessa on käytetty avointa adoptiota koskevaa kansainvälistä tutkimusta. Aineisto kerättiin elektronisista tietokannoista systemaattisen kirj…
Rasvaisen ruokavalion ja kestävyysharjoittelun vaikutukset angiogeneesin säätelyproteiineihin hiiren raajalihaksessa
2011
Verisuonten tehtävänä on toimia hapen kulkureittinä matkalla kudoksiin. Kapil-laarit ovat pienimpiä verisuonia ja niissä tapahtuu hapen ja ravinteiden vaihtuminen veren ja kudoksen välillä. Angiogeneesi tarkoittaa olemassa olevan kapillaarisuoniston kasvamista ja haaroittumista. Toimivien suonten kehittyminen on monimutkainen prosessi, joka vaatii tarkasti säädeltyä yhteistoimintaa useiden stimuloivien ja inhiboivien signaalien kesken. Säätelymekanismi on niin monimutkainen, ettei sitä ole onnistuttu jäljittelemään keinotekoisesti. Liikunta on yksi harvoista mekanismeista, joka aktivoi angiogeneesin säätelytekijät toivotulla tavalla. Myös rasvaisen ruokavalion on havaittu lisäävän raajaliha…
Spatially dynamic forest management to sustain biodiversity and economic returns.
2014
Production of marketed commodities and protection of biodiversity in natural systems often conflict and thus the continuously expanding human needs for more goods and benefits from global ecosystems urgently calls for strategies to resolve this conflict. In this paper, we addressed what is the potential of a forest landscape to simultaneously produce habitats for species and economic returns, and how the conflict between habitat availability and timber production varies among taxa. Secondly, we aimed at revealing an optimal combination of management regimes that maximizes habitat availability for given levels of economic returns. We used multi-objective optimization tools to analyze data fr…
Efficient Time Integration of Maxwell's Equations with Generalized Finite Differences
2015
We consider the computationally efficient time integration of Maxwell’s equations using discrete exterior calculus (DEC) as the computational framework. With the theory of DEC, we associate the degrees of freedom of the electric and magnetic fields with primal and dual mesh structures, respectively. We concentrate on mesh constructions that imitate the geometry of the close packing in crystal lattices that is typical of elemental metals and intermetallic compounds. This class of computational grids has not been used previously in electromagnetics. For the simulation of wave propagation driven by time-harmonic source terms, we provide an optimized Hodge operator and a novel time discretizati…
Memorializing mass deaths at the border: two cases from Canberra (Australia) and Lampedusa (Italy)
2017
In this paper, we compare two seemingly very similar instances in which individuals and organizations within the borders of the global North have memorialized the deaths of irregular migrants at sea: the SIEV X memorial in Australia’s national capital Canberra, and the Giardino della memoria (Garden of Remembrance) on the Italian island of Lampedusa. Unlike ephemeral manifestations of grief, potentially these memorials have effects that reach well beyond their creation. We relate the differences between the memorials to the contexts within which they were created: an immediate local response involving people directly affected by the disaster’s aftermath, on the one hand, and a delayed natio…
