Camouflage in arid environments: the case of Sahara-Sahel desert rodents
2020
Deserts and semi-deserts, such as the Sahara-Sahel region in North Africa, are exposed environments with restricted vegetation coverage. Due to limited physical surface structures, these open areas provide a promising ecosystem to understand selection for crypsis. Here, we review knowledge on camouflage adaptation in the Sahara-Sahel rodent community, which represents one of the best documented cases of phenotype-environment convergence comprising a marked taxonomic diversity. Through their evolutionary history, several rodent species from the Sahara-Sahel have repeatedly evolved an accurate background matching against visually-guided predators. Top-down selection by predators is therefore …

Towards an Economy of Encounters? : A critical study of affectual assemblages in coworking
2017
Abstract Coworking spaces have been established in great numbers around the globe over the past 10 years. Previous studies on coworking spaces argue that these spaces are designed to enable serendipitous encounters. Here we introduce the concept of an economy of encounters, arguing that both intended and unintended encounters have become a form of production in the knowledge-based new economy. This paper draws upon the critical analysis of three case studies of different coworking settings − two open coworking spaces and a corporate coworking office. Following Deleuze and Guattari, we see coworking spaces as affectual assemblages that create affects that push knowledge workers in flow and m…
Wau:ta WU:ssa : Liber LAG 2018
2018
Kirjoittajat osallistuivat Liberin arkkitehtuuriryhmän järjestämään liber lag -seminaariin Itävallassa Wienissä 18.- 20.4. Seminaarissa esiteltiin arkkitehtonisiksi maamerkeiksi suunniteltuja vaikuttavia kirjastorakennuksia, mutta joukkoon mahtui myös vanhojen rakennusten uudistusprojekteja. Kautta esitysten punaisena lankana kulki pohdinta siitä, meneekö muoto käyttötarkoituksen edelle (”form over function”) vai voiko arkkitehtoninen maamerkki olla myös käytännöllinen? Seminaari huipentui käyttäjäkokemusten ja –näkökulman korostamiseen: rakennus voidaan suunnitella monumentiksi, mutta tilan tärkein tehtävä on palvella sen käyttäjiä. nonPeerReviewed
Vaccinium ģints ogu spiedpalieku ekstraktu ietekme uz elastāzes, kolagenāzes un hialuronidāzes aktivitāti in vitro
2019
Demogrāfiskā novecošana šobrīd ir aktuāls jautājums visā pasaulē. Viena no novecošanas izpausmēm ir kolagēna, elastīna un hialuronskābes samazinājums, kuru izraisa pastiprināta enzīmu kolagenāzes, elastāzes un hialuronidāzes darbība. Ir atklāts, ka augu polifenoliem piemīt spēja inhibēt šo enzīmu darbību, kas ļauj tos ieteikt kā skrimšļa un ādas audu aizsarglīdzekļus. Pētījuma mērķis bija noteikt piecu Vaccinium ģints ogu spiedpalieku ekstraktu ietekmi uz elastāzes, kolagenāzes un hialuronidāzes aktivitāti in vitro testos. Iegūtie rezultāti liecina, ka visi pieci ogu spiedpalieku ekstrakti izraisa šo enzīmu inhibīciju. Krūmmelleņu, purva dzērveņu un brūkleņu spiedpalieku ekstrakti jau konce…
A Historical Analysis of Media Practices and Technologies in Protest Movements : A Review of Crisis and Critique by Anne Kaun
2017
Dr. Anne Kaun’s book, <em>Crisis and Critique: A Brief History of Media Participation in Times of Crisis</em> (London: Zed Books, 2016, 131 pp., ISBN: 978-1-78360-736-5), is a concise but comprehensive analysis of the changing media practices and technologies in protest movements. The book overviews the topic within the context of major economic crises and scrutinises three richly detailed case studies in the United States: (a) the unemployed workers’ movement during the Great Depression in the 1930s, (b) the tenants’ rent strike movement of the early 1970s, and (c) the Occupy Wall Street movement following the Great Recession of 2008. Kaun begins her book with an introduction t…
Etnografian reittejä kylien ajallisuuteen ja aineellisuuteen

In my dissertation I have traced novel routes to village research by examining the transformation of the villages through the concepts of temporality and materiality. My research questions are: What kind of temporal trajectories have formed the villages? What kind of things, events, processes or connections have in the course of time been part of the village? I examine the transformations having taken place along various trajectories and focus on how the past and the future are related in the present in certain moments. With material culture I refer especially to the built environment, including the element of landscape. The study is based on ethnographic fieldwork in the Ahvenselkä village…
