Separated children & forbidden roots : removals of part-indigenous children as part of Australia's assimilation policy in the 1950s-1960s
2013
1950-ja 1960-luvuilla Australiassa oli kaksi merkittävää poliittista käytäntöä, joilla oli merkittävä vaikutus maan alkuperäisväestöön nimittäin assimilaatio sekä osittain valkoista alkuperää olevien aboriginaalilasten pakkohuostaanotot. Tutkielma käsittelee Australian assimilaatio politiikkaa, sen keinoja ja taustoja sekä varsinkin sen yhteyttä aboriginaalilasten pakkohuostaanottoihin. Jo 1800-luvulta lähtien Australiassa oli ollut vallalla käytäntö erottaa aboriginaalilapsia vanhemmistaan ja yhteisöistään koulutukset, parempien elinolojen tai kristillisen lähetystyön velvoittamana. Heistä koulutettiin halpaa, kristillistä työvoimaa valloitetuille alueille. 1920-luvulta alkanut osittain va…

2022
Maģistra darba “Hronotops A. Manfeldes romānā “Vilcēni”, A. Jundzes romānā “Sarkanais dzīvsudrabs” un J. Joņeva romānā “Jelgava 94” mērķis ir raksturot un analizēt fiktīvo romānu 20. gadsimta 90. gadu laiktelpu Latvijā un citus ar to saistītus literāros hronotopus. Darba teorētiskajā daļā sniegts hronotopa teorētiskais ieskats, ieskats semiotiskajā un naratoloģijas pētniecības metodē; aplūkota hronotopa un romāna saistība; ieskats romānu recepcijā kritikā; sniegts ieskats kultūrvēsturiskajā situācijā un pilsētas laiktelpā. Pētījuma praktiskajā daļā tiek analizēts 20. gadsimta 90. gadu hronotops romānos caur naratīvu un kā tas atklājas caur dažādām semiotiskajām zīmēm pilsētvidē.
Evaluation of the antibacterial power and biocompatibility of zinc oxide nanorods decorated graphene nanoplatelets: New perspectives for antibiodeter…
2017
Background Nanotechnologies are currently revolutionizing the world around us, improving the quality of our lives thanks to a multitude of applications in several areas including the environmental preservation, with the biodeterioration phenomenon representing one of the major concerns. Results In this study, an innovative nanomaterial consisting of graphene nanoplatelets decorated by zinc oxide nanorods (ZNGs) was tested for the ability to inhibit two different pathogens belonging to bacterial genera frequently associated with nosocomial infections as well as biodeterioration phenomenon: the Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and the Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa. A time- and dose-…
Abstract 857: Metal oxide nanoparticles as adjuvant for radiation therapy
2018
Abstract Background: Radiation therapy comprises a fundamental component of modern tumor treatment. Unfortunately, its success is limited by the development of radiation resistances. The emerging field of nanotechnology offers great opportunities for diagnosing, imaging, as well as treating cancer. Metal oxide nanoparticles in particular zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NP) have been shown to display a selective cytotoxic effect on tumor cells via a yet unknown mechanism. Most likely the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), breakdown of mitochondria and DNA damage are involved. The success of radiation therapy equally relies on the generation of ROS, which develop their cytotoxic poten…
Heteroglossia in Action: Sámi Children, Textbooks and Rap
2013
This chapter examines heteroglossia in the complex, continuously evolving multilingual context of Samiland, the historically and culturally central area for indigenous Sami culture and languages. The analytical discussion is of a rap about textbooks, created and performed by a group of Sami children with the help of their teachers and parents that they presented as their petition for more Sami language teaching materials. The rap is viewed as an example of heteroglossic practices, a strategic mobilization, mixture and recycling of multiple meaning making resources that result in a polyphonic performance.
Genotoxicity of selected pesticides in the mouse bone-marrow micronucleus test and in the sister-chromatid exchange test with human lymphocytes in vi…
1996
Selected pesticides (aldicarb, 1,3-dichloropropene, methidathion, parathion, triadimefon, vinclozolin) were tested for their clastogenic and aneugenic activities in the mouse bone-marrow micronucleus (MN) test in vivo and for their sister-chromatid exchange-inducing activities in human lymphocytes in vitro in the presence and absence of an exogenous metabolizing system from rat-liver S9. 1,3-Dichloropropene significantly increased the frequencies of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE) in bone-marrow cells of female mice from 3.3 MN/1000 PCE to 15.3 MN/1000 PCE (187 mg per kg body weight). 1,3-Dichloropropene (100 microM) induced 16.0 SCE/metaphase after 24 h of incubation as com…
Determination of haemoglobin adducts of acrylamide and glycidamide in smoking and non-smoking persons of the general population
2005
Acrylamide (AA) is a food-borne toxicant suspected to be carcinogenic to humans. It is formed in the heating process of starch-containing food. Currently, there is a great discussion about the possible human health risks connected with the dietary uptake of acrylamide. Haemoglobin adducts of acrylamide and its oxidative metabolite glycidamide are both markers of biochemical effect. However, because glycidamide has a higher carcinogenic potency than acrylamide itself, the glycidamide adduct might mirror the genotoxicity better than acrylamide adducts. In order to gain more information about the human metabolism of acrylamide, we investigated a small group of persons for the effective interna…
