The avidin protein family : properties of family members and engineering of novel biotin-binding protein tools

2005

Eliöiden perimä sisältää kullekin lajille tyypillisen geneettisen tiedon ja määrittelee niiden ominaisuuksia. Lajien perimän yksityiskohtainen tarkastelu ja vertailu selvittää lajien ominaisuuksien perustaa. Suuri osa perimän sisältämistä geeneistä koodaa proteiineja, jotka ovat keskeisiä solujen rakenteille ja toiminnoille.Vesa Hytönen tarkasteli väitöskirjassaan kanan avidiini-proteiinin ja samaan geeniperheeseen kuuluvien avidiinin kaltaisten geenien (AVR) koodaamien AVR-proteiinien tuottamista ja ominaisuuksia. Avidiinin tehtävä on sitoa vesiliukoista H-vitamiinia, jota kutsutaan myös biotiiniksi. Avidiinia esiintyy erityisesti kananmunan valkuaisessa, jossa sen arvellaan toimivan puolu…

Lipid-related thiamine deficiency cause mortality of river lampreys (Lampetra fluviatilis) during pre-spawning fasting

2023

Publisher Copyright: © 2023 The Authors River lampreys (Lampetra fluviatilis) were caught in the fall 2014 on entering the River Perhonjoki for spawning and kept at a hatchery until spawning in late spring 2015 to produce larvae for compensatory stockings. Since the lampreys died massively from early February onwards, they were investigated in March and May to clarify the cause of the deaths. The symptoms in lampreys resembled those of lipid-related thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency of salmonines, called the M74 syndrome in the Baltic Sea area. Because the lipid content of lampreys was known to be high, thiamine concentrations were analyzed in the liver and ovulated unfertilized eggs, and th…

Voimauttavaa valokuvausta ja äitien tarinaa : toimintatutkimus A-klinikalla asioivien äitien ryhmätoiminnasta

2016

Tässä pro gradu -tutkielmassa tarkastellaan voimauttavan valokuvauksen menetelmää käyttämällä A-kli-nikalla asioivien äitien tarinoita heidän lapsuudestaan, elämästään sekä unelmistaan naisena ja äitinä. Lisäksi tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan sitä, miten äidit kokevat voimaantuvansa tämän valokuvausmenetelmän avulla. Tutkimus jakautuu teoreettiseen ja empiiriseen osaan. Teoriaosuudessa tarkastelen Paulo Freiren teoriaa sekä voimaantumisteoriaa. Teoreettinen osuus käsittää lisäksi lyhyen katsauksen taiteellisten menetelmien käytöstä sosiaalityössä sekä erityisesti voimauttavan valokuvausmenetelmän käytön merkitystä sosiaalityön työvälineenä. Lopuksi avaan sosiaalityötä marginaaliryhmien parissa…

Perceived status and value

2017

This article examines how students in a multidisciplinary project-based learning course involving real customers perceive their interactions with their customers. The authors conducted a qualitative study and analysed students’ learning reports by means of a thematic network analysis. The analysis shows how students perceive their status in relation to their customers and how their perceptions of their work affect how they see the value of the projects. The authors consider their empirical findings in the context of the existing literature on university–industry collaboration and thereby summarize different scenarios of the contrasting working practices and priorities in academia and indus…

Complex plant quality—microbiota–population interactions modulate the response of a specialist herbivore to the defence of its host plant

2022

Many specialist herbivores have evolved strategies to cope with plant defences, with gut microbiota potentially participating to such adaptations. In this study, we assessed whether the history of plant use (population origin) and microbiota may interact with plant defence adaptation. We tested whether microbiota enhance the performance of Melitaea cinxia larvae on their host plant, Plantago lanceolata and increase their ability to cope the defensive compounds, iridoid glycosides (IGs). The gut microbiota were significantly affected by both larval population origin and host plant IG level. Contrary to our prediction, impoverishing the microbiota with antibiotic treatment did not reduce larv…

Traces of the past: an interview study with Finnish war children who did not return to Finland after the Second World War

2017

ABSTRACTThis paper is an in-depth qualitative study based on interviews with 10 Finnish children who were evacuated to Sweden during Second World War and who did not return to Finland after the war. The interviewees were asked to tell about their lives. Nine of them were between 2 and 5 years and one was 7 years old at the time of evacuation. The aim was to study how their childhood experiences were reflected in adult memories, how they remembered or did not remember. This paper focuses on the consequences of not knowing about one’s early life and also on whether it is possible to observe signs of the Finnish mother. She did not appear explicitly but could be sensed in the tendency of the i…

Prescription opioid use and employment : A nationwide Finnish register study

2021

Background: The secular decline in labor market participation and the concurrent increase in opioid use in many developed countries have sparked a policy debate on the possible connection between these two trends. We examined whether the use of prescription opioids was connected to labor market outcomes relating to participation, employment and unemployment among the Finnish population. Methods: The working-age population (aged 19–64 years) living in Finland during the period 1995–2016 was used in the analyses (consisting of 67 903 701 person-year observations). Lagged values of prescription opioid use per capita were used as the exposure. Instrumental variables (IV) estimation method was u…
