From Country Girl in Southern Finland to Longitudinal Research into Alternatives to Aggression and Violence
2021
Lea Pulkkinen, born in Finland in 1939, is Emerita Professor of Psychology at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland). She is best known for creating the ongoing Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Personality and Social Development (JLSPSD). The study was specifically intended to test the hypothesis that the human brain allows for more variation in behavior than the simple ‘fight or flight’ response observed in animal studies of aggression. She further hypothesized that humans’ capacity for cognitive control over emotional behavior was the key factor involved in controlling aggressive behavior. These hypotheses led her to devise an impulse control model to depict behavioral alternatives, which s…
"Jeg vil leve mitt liv med å være meg selv" : om selvhevdelse i psykisk helsearbeid
2012
Masteroppgave i psykisk helsearbeid ME-504 2012 – Universitetet i Agder, Grimstad Kommunene har til oppgave å tilby lokalsamfunnet et virkningsfullt psykisk helsearbeid slik at den enkelte innbygger som har behov for det skal få tilbud om best mulig hjelp til å fungere i et krevende samfunn sammen med andre. Sandnes kommune tilbyr blant annet kurs i selvhevdelse til mennesker som har store utfordringer i forhold til å hevde seg selv. Hensikten med denne studien er å finne ut om deltakere erfarer å få bedre psykisk helse etter å ha deltatt på kurs i selvhevdelse. Problemstillingen i studien er ”Hvilke erfaringer har deltakerne med selvhevdelse etter å ha gjennomgått kurs i selvhevdelse?”. Op…
Review article: recommended reading list of early publications on atomic layer deposition - outcome of the "virtual Project on the History of ALD"
2017
Atomic layer deposition (ALD), a gas-phase thin film deposition technique based on repeated, self-terminating gas-solid reactions, has become the method of choice in semiconductor manufacturing and many other technological areas for depositing thin conformal inorganic material layers for various applications. ALD has been discovered and developed independently, at least twice, under different names: atomic layer epitaxy (ALE) and molecular layering. ALE, dating back to 1974 in Finland, has been commonly known as the origin of ALD, while work done since the 1960s in the Soviet Union under the name "molecular layering" (and sometimes other names) has remained much less known. The virtual proj…
Bcl-xL as a Modulator of Senescence and Aging
2021
Many features of aging result from the incapacity of cells to adapt to stress conditions. When cells are overwhelmed by stress, they can undergo senescence to avoid unrestricted growth of damaged cells. Recent findings have proven that cellular senescence is more than that. A specific grade of senescence promotes embryo development, tissue remodeling and wound healing. However, constant stresses and a weakening immune system can lead to senescence chronicity with aging. The accumulation of senescent cells is directly related to tissue dysfunction and age-related pathologies. Centenarians, the most aged individuals, should accumulate senescent cells and suffer from their deleterious effects,…
Arheoloģija Baltijā 21. gs. sākumā: jaunākie pētījumi, aktuālās diskusijas un mūsdienu izaicinājumi: referātu kopsavilkumi, 2022. gada 18. februārī L…
2022
Jau divas desmitgades Latvijas Universitātes (LU) starptautiskās zinātniskās konferences ietvaros katru otro gadu norisinās Arheoloģijas sekcija, ko rīko LU Vēstures un filozofijas fakultāte. Pirmoreiz šāda sekcija tika rīkota LU 61. zinātniskajā konferencē 2003. gada 10. februārī. Turpinot iesākto tradīciju, arī 2022. gada 18. februārī LU 80. starptautiskās konferences ietvaros Vēstures un filozofijas fakultātes Vēstures un arheoloģijas nodaļa organizēja arheoloģijas problemātikai veltītu sekciju, kurā tika aplūkotas daudzveidīgās un aktuālās mūsdienu arheoloģijas attīstības tendences Latvijā un Eiropā. Daļa konferences referātu pievērsās dabaszinātņu un tās pētniecisko metožu lomai arheol…
Two-Tier Care Pathways for Liver Fibrosis Associated to Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in HIV Mono-Infected Patients.
2022
(1) Background: Developing strategies to identify significant liver fibrosis in people with HIV (PWH) is crucial to prevent complications of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We aim to investigate if five simple serum biomarkers applied to PWH can optimize a care pathway to identify significant liver fibrosis defined by transient elastography (TE). (2) Methods: A two-tier fibrosis pathway was applied to three prospective cohorts of PWH undergoing TE with CAP. NAFLD was diagnosed as a controlled attenuation parameter ≥ 248 dB/m. Five simple fibrosis biomarkers (FIB-4 < 1.3, BARD score 0–1, NAFLD fibrosis score < −1.455, AST:ALT ratio < 0.8 and APRI < 0.5) …
PIVKAII Utility in Diagnosis and Post-therapeutic Monitoring of Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Background: Protein induced by vitamin K absence (PIVKA-II), also known as des-gamma-carboxyprothrombin, has been described in relation to HCC being released in association with vitamin K deficiency in the presence of HCC. Serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is the traditional biomarker for HCC detection and follow up but it doesn’t have high sensitivity and specificity. Therefore, there is great interest in identifying new more powerful biomarkers. Materials and methods: One hundred and fourteen subjects were divided into four groups: Group 1 included 58 patients (38M, 20 F) with HCC, mean age 73.5; Group 2 included 38 patients (28M, 10F) with liver cirrhosis (LC), mean age 63.7; Group 3 include…

The hidden burden of severe asthma: from patient perspective to new opportunities for clinicians
2020
Severe asthma is an important topic in respiratory diseases, due to its high impact on morbidity and mortality as well as on health-care resources. The many challenges that still exist in the management of the most difficult-to-treat forms of the disease, and the acknowledgement of the existence of unexplored areas in the pathophysiological mechanisms and the therapeutic targets represent an opportunity to gather experts in the field with the immediate goals to summarize current understanding about the natural history of severe asthma and to identify gaps in knowledge and research opportunities, with the aim to contribute to improved medical care and health outcomes. This article is a conse…
Huhut, unet, sodomiitit, moraalinvartijat, elämäkerrat, puhuttelusanat ja ammattinimikkeet
2022
Kirja Huhut, unet, sodomiitit, moraalinvartijat, elämäkerrat,puhuttelusanat ja ammattinimikkeet koostuu teoreettisista artikkeleista ja tutkielmista, joiden käsittelemät aikakaudet ulottuvat keskiajalta aina itsenäisyyden murrosvaiheisiin. Teemaa lähestytään yksilön ja yhteiskunnan välisten suhteiden ilmentymänä. Artlkkelit edustavat kunkin kirjoittajan tutkimussuuntausta. Näin ollen kyseessä on teos, jossa esitetään myös uusimman historiantutkimuksen tuloksia. Kirjoittajat ovat historiantutkijoita ja Jyväskylän maakunta-arkiston henkilökuntaa.
