Pelagic calcium carbonate production and shallow dissolution in the North Pacific Ocean
2023
Funding: Funding was provided by NSF Grants OCE1220600 and OCE1220302 awarded to JA and WB, respectively, MINECO PID2020-113526RB-I00, the Generalitat de Catalunya MERS (#2017 SGR-1588) awarded to PZ and NERC grant NE/N011716/1 awarded to JR. Planktonic calcifying organisms play a key role in regulating ocean carbonate chemistry and atmospheric CO2. Surprisingly, references to the absolute and relative contribution of these organisms to calcium carbonate production are lacking. Here we report quantification of pelagic calcium carbonate production in the North Pacific, providing new insights on the contribution of the three main planktonic calcifying groups. Our results show that coccolithop…
Adolescent transport and unintentional injuries: a systematic analysis using the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
2022
Correction to Lancet Public Health 2022; 7: e657-69. Lancet Public Health. 2022 Dec;7(12):e992. doi: 10.1016/S2468-2667(22)00294-8. PMID: 36462522. Background: Globally, transport and unintentional injuries persist as leading preventable causes of mortality and morbidity for adolescents. We sought to report comprehensive trends in injury-related mortality and morbidity for adolescents aged 10-24 years during the past three decades. Methods: Using the Global Burden of Disease, Injuries, and Risk Factors 2019 Study, we analysed mortality and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) attributed to transport and unintentional injuries for adolescents in 204 countries. Burden is reported in absolut…
The global burden of cancer attributable to risk factors, 2010–19 : A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
2022
Background: Understanding the magnitude of cancer burden attributable to potentially modifiable risk factors is crucial for development of effective prevention and mitigation strategies. We analysed results from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019 to inform cancer control planning efforts globally. Methods: The GBD 2019 comparative risk assessment framework was used to estimate cancer burden attributable to behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risk factors. A total of 82 risk-outcome pairs were included on the basis of the World Cancer Research Fund criteria. Estimated cancer deaths and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) in 20…

Burden of non-communicable diseases among adolescents aged 10-24 years in the EU, 1990-2019: a systematic analysis of the Global Burden of Diseases S…
2022
Background: Disability and mortality burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have risen worldwide; however, the NCD burden among adolescents remains poorly described in the EU. Methods: Estimates were retrieved from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019. Causes of NCDs were analysed at three different levels of the GBD 2019 hierarchy, for which mortality, years of life lost (YLLs), years lived with disability (YLDs), and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) were extracted. Estimates, with the 95% uncertainty intervals (UI), were retrieved for EU Member States from 1990 to 2019, three age subgroups (10–14 years, 15–19 years, and 20–…
Ajan arvoituksia : fiktiivinen ajan kokemus Cormac McCarthyn romaanissa No country for old men
2013
Tarkastelen pro gradu -tutkielmassani inhimillisen ajan kokemuksen representaatioita Cormac McCarthyn romaanissa No Country for Old Men (2005). Tutkimuksessani selvitän, minkälaisen kuvan teoksen henkilöhahmojen kokemukset antavat ihmisen tavasta kokea aikaa. Lähtökohtanani on Paul Ricœurin ajatus, että fiktio kykenee luomaan ajan kokemuksen variaatioita, joiden avulla lukija voi rikastuttaa omaa ymmärrystään ajallisuudesta. Työn teoriaosuudessa esittelen erilaisia aikakäsityksiä monitieteisestä näkökulmasta. Tärkeimpänä rajanvetona on Ricœuriä seuraten eronteko objektiivisen kosmologisen ajan ja subjektiivisen fenomenologisen ajan välille. Lisäksi tarkastelen kaunokirjallisuuden kykyä ja k…
Erämaan herrat ja orjat : vallantahto ja luonto Cormac McCarthyn romaanissa Blood Meridian
2011
Analysoin tutkielmassani Cormac McCarthyn vuonna 1985 ilmestynyttä romaania Blood Meridian. Lähestyn teoksen luontosuhdetta useista näkökulmista, joista keskeisin on Friedrich Nietzschen vallantahdon käsitteen mahdollistama. Tarkastelen tapoja, joilla teoksen kertoja kuvaa luontoa ja toisaalta henkilöhahmojen retorisia luonnon haltuunottoja, yleistyksiä ja retoriikkaa – vallantahdon ilmenemismuotoja. Näen romaanin esimerkkinä historiallisesta modernistisesta fiktiosta, jossa kuvataan nopean yhteiskunnallisen muutoksen ja väliaikaisen kaaostilan luomaa epävarmuutta. Tämä epävarmuus ulottuu teoksen kertojaan, joka on tietoinen siitä ettei kykene tavoittamaan objektiivista todellisuutta. Blood…

Louisa S. McCord's Caius Gracchus: A Transatlantic Southern Literary Response to 1848 European Revolutions
2016
Louisa S. McCord is the most important female intellectual in the antebellum South and one of its most recognized voices, even if her name rarely appears in studies not directly related to her region. McCord has a parallel, according to Mary Kelley, in Margaret Fuller, the relevant prewar Northern intellectual and essayist. From contrasting ideological positions, both left testimony of their interest in constructing a model of womanhood, capable of facing the contingencies of their times. Born in one of the most influential families of South Carolina, McCord produced a phenomenal synthesis of the conservative political, economic and religious arguments accepted in her times and managed to t…
