Eläimet Martialiksen ylistys- ja ivaepigrammeissa
2015
Tutkin työssäni eläinmainintoja Martialiksen ylistys- ja ivaepigrammeissa. Martialis ylistää esimerkiksi keisaria tai maaseutua ja ivaa muun muassa himokkaita vanhoja naisia ja huonoja runoilijoita. Valitsin nämä epigrammit, koska ne ovat tutkimusaineistosta helpoimmin havaittavissa. Kiintoisa tutkimuskysymys on, mitä eläimiä Martialis käyttää ylistäesssään ja mitä ivatessaan. Jos eläin esiintyy molemmissa, miten käytöt eroavat? Tietääkseni Martialiksen epigrammeja ei ole aiemmin tutkittu tästä näkökulmasta. Tutkielman taustaluvuissa määrittelen epigrammin käsitteen ja käsittelen lyhyesti eläinten asemaa antiikissa sekä eläimiin liitettyjä käsityksiä. Tutkimuksen teoreettisen viitekehyksen …
Towards cultural transformation : Culture as planetary well-being
2024
Culture covers myriad aspects of human life. Most often it is understood as intellectual or artistic practices, but in a broader view, culture covers the habits, lifestyles, traditions, beliefs, values, and worldviews that shape human lives and societies. Culture also undergoes continuous change and is affected by human actions. Current ecological and well-being crises caused by destructive cultural practices and actions pose an existential risk to both humans and nonhumans. This chapter argues that when challenging, preventing, and changing such destructive human practices and actions, the role of culture is indispensable. Building on and rethinking cultural sustainability, the chapter out…
Predictive First-principles Modeling of a Photosynthetic Antenna Protein : The Fenna-Matthews-Olson Complex
2020
High efficiency of light harvesting in photosynthetic pigment-protein complexes is governed by evolutionary-perfected protein-assisted tuning of individual pigment properties and inter-pigment interactions. Due to the large number of spectrally overlapping pigments in a typical photosynthetic complex, experimental methods often fail to unambiguously identify individual chromophore properties. Here we report a first principles-based modeling protocol capable of predicting properties of pigments in protein environment to a high precision. The technique was applied to successfully uncover electronic properties of the Fenna-Matthews-Olson (FMO) pigment-protein complex. Each of the three subunit…
Endocrine disrupters: the new players able to affect the epigenome
2015
Epigenetics represents the way by which the environment is able to program the genome; there are three main levels of epigenetic control on genome: DNA methylation, post-translational histone modification and microRNA expression. The term Epigenetics has been widened by NIH to include “both heritable changes in gene activity and expression but also stable, long-term alterations in the transcriptional potential of a cell that are not necessarily heritable.” These changes might be produced mostly by the early life environment and might affect health influencing the susceptibility to develop diseases, from cancer to mental disorder, during the entire life span. The most studied environmental i…

Epigenetic analysis of cell-free DNA as a tool to study pathogenesis and maternal syndrome of preeclampsia
2019
El ADN libre circulante (ADNlc) ha surgido como una valiosa fuente de información en el campo de la biomedicina. En concreto, la existencia de diferencias epigenéticas en el ADNlc entre individuos sanos y enfermos evidencia la utilidad del estudio de estas marcas y su potencial aplicación en enfermedades que no conllevan mutaciones del ADN. La preeclampsia es una complicación del embarazo considerada una de las principales causas de muerte materna alrededor del mundo. A pesar de su gran importancia, su fisiopatología todavía no se conoce con exactitud. Este síndrome representa un modelo de patología sistémica en la que, además de verse comprometida la salud del feto, los efectos sobre la ma…

The effect of a temperature-sensitive prophage on the evolution of virulence in an opportunistic bacterial pathogen.
2022
https://doi.org/10.1111/mec.16638 Abstract Viruses are key actors of ecosystems and have major impacts on global biogeochemical cycles. Prophages deserve particular attention as they are ubiquitous in bacterial genomes and can enter a lytic cycle when triggered by environmental conditions. We explored how temperature affects the interactions between prophages and other biological levels by using an opportunistic pathogen, the bacterium Serratia marcescens, that harbours several prophages and that had undergone an evolution experiment under several temperature regimes. We found that the release of one of the prophages was temperature-sensitive and malleable to evolutionary changes. We furthe…
