Ovarian tissue cryopreservation and transplantation in menopause: new perspective of therapy in postmenopausal women and the importance of ethical an…
2023
Menopausal transition entails a progressive decrease in hormone production by the ovaries that lead to important physical and psychological changes that could significantly affect quality of life. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) administered from the onset of menopausal symptoms usually improves quality of life and life expectancy. Nevertheless, it is not risk-free. Ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC) has been investigated as a potential new strategy for delaying menopause and/or to avoid HRT. This review analyzes the critical points of HRT to assess whether OTC and subsequent reimplantation can affect postmenopausal management. We assessed available randomized clinical trials in PubMed…

Subvisible cirrus clouds - a dynamical system approach
2018
Ice clouds, so-called cirrus clouds, occur very frequently in the tropopause region. A special class are subvisible cirrus clouds with an optical depth lower than 0.03, associated with very low ice crystal number concentrations. The dominant pathway for the formation of these clouds is not known well. It is often assumed that heterogeneous nucleation on solid aerosol particles is the preferred mechanism although homogeneous freezing of aqueous solution droplets might be possible, since these clouds occur in the low-temperature regime T < 235 K. For investigating subvisible cirrus clouds as formed by homogeneous freezing we develop a reduced cloud model from first principles, which is close …
The more you move, the more action you construct : a motion capture study on head and upper-torso movements in constructed action in Finnish Sign Lan…
2020
Abstract This paper investigates, with the help of motion capture data processed on corpus principles, the characteristics of head and upper-torso movements in constructed action and regular narration (i.e., signing without constructed action) in FinSL. Specifically, the paper evaluates the validity of two arguments concerning constructed action: that constructed action forms a continuum with regular narration, and that constructed action divides into three subtypes (i.e., overt, reduced, and subtle). The results presented in the paper support the first argument but not directly the second one. Because of the ambiguous position of reduced constructed action in between subtle and overt const…
Identity and War in Michael Ondaatje’s
2012
Abstract This paper addresses the issue of identity in relation to war through a close reading of Michael Ondaatje’s The English Patient. It investigates the connections between war and the construction of identity, focusing on aspects such as violence and death. In his novel Ondaatje uncovers private histories alongside the framing events of World War Two. Kip’s perception of war and his way of living through it suggest that the engagement on the world’s battlefield is riddled with inner conflicts separating people or bringing them together. In The English Patient what is at issue is the quest for a redefinition of the self: Hanna, Kirpal Singh and Almásy attempt to liberate the self throu…
“Never Some Easy Flashback”
2012
Abstract This paper provides a close reading of Paul Farley’s 160-line poem, “Thorns.” The poem is read in dialogue with William Wordsworth’s celebrated Romantic ballad “The Thorn.” Special attention is given to Farley’s treatment of memory and metaphor: It is shown how the first, exploratory part of the poem elaborates upon the interdependent nature of memory and metaphor, while the second part uses a more regulated form of imagery in its evocation of a generational memory linked to a particular place and time (the working-class Liverpool of the 1960s and 1970s). The tension between the two parts of the poem is reflected in the taut relationship between the poet and a confrontational alter…
Freedom and its diachrony

‘Whose were those feelings?’ : Affect and likenessing in Halat hisar live action role-playing game
2021
Halat hisar was a live action role-playing game (larp) organized in Finland in 2016. Halat hisar’s ambition as a larp was to mirror the current situation in Palestine. In larps, participants take on different roles and improvise without the presence of an audience. Larps offer a place where emotions and affectivities are transmitted through the embodiment of characters. Larps offer forms of likenessing, which create new affective states for the players. We conclude that larps can be powerful tools for portraying political alternatives of actual events, and they can serve a role in raising awareness. Larps offer a productive context for studying subjectivities where the focus is on affectiv…
Persistence, niche differentation and ecological similarity in two cryptic rotifer species
2015
La interacción entre especies competidoras y los procesos que intervienen y determinan el resultado de las dinámicas competitivas (i.e., coexistencia o exclusión) son temas fundamentales de estudio en ecología. La teoría establece que para que dos especies puedan persistir en el mismo hábitat y evitar la exclusión competitiva éstas deben tener diferentes requerimientos ecológicos (i.e., diferenciación de nicho). Sin embargo, la existencia de especies ecológicamente similares en simpatría pone en cuestión esta necesidad y ha abierto un debate en la comunidad científica. Este debate se ha visto intensificado por el descubrimiento en las últimas décadas de un gran número de especies crípticas …
Towards a meta-method for the engineering of situational evaluation methods for domain-specific modeling tools
2015
Sovellusaluemallinnus (Domain-Specific Modeling, DSM) on eräs ohjelmistotuotannon lähestymistavoista, jossa sovelluskehityksen abstraktiotasoa nostetaan ohjelmoinnista sovellusaluekeskeiseen mallinnukseen. DSM mahdollistaa sovelluskehityksen automatisoinnin erityisesti kapeilla ja vakiintuneilla sovellusalueilla, joiden käsitteet, säännöt ja merkitykset soveltuvat DSM-kielten konstruktioiksi. DSM-välineet tarjoavat työkaluja DSM-kielten määrittelyyn ja käyttöön sekä sovellusmallien transformaatioihin. Teollisuudessa DSM-välineiden arviointeja tehdään tyypillisesti välinehankintojen valmistelun yhteydessä. Arviointeja suoritetaan myös tieteellisen tutkimuksen näkökulmasta. Arviointitulosten …
