Variants of the
2019
The Gram-positive soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis relies on the glutamine synthetase and the glutamate synthase for glutamate biosynthesis from ammonium and 2-oxoglutarate. During growth with the carbon source glucose, the LysR-type transcriptional regulator GltC activates the expression of the gltAB glutamate synthase genes. With excess of intracellular glutamate, the gltAB genes are not transcribed because the glutamate-degrading glutamate dehydrogenases (GDHs) inhibit GltC. Previous in vitro studies revealed that 2-oxoglutarate and glutamate stimulate the activator and repressor function, respectively, of GltC. Here, we have isolated GltC variants with enhanced activator or repressor fu…
Women fighters as agents of change: A Brazilian jiu jitsu case study from Finland
2015
Brazilian jiu jitsu (BJJ), a grappling system of combat, evolved from the teachings of a Japanese judoka who moved to Brazil in the 1920s. Focusing on ground fighting, BJJ is rapidly evolving into a combat sport with competitions taking place worldwide (Hogeveen and Hardes, 2014; Spencer, 2014). Unique to the BJJ culture is the way that the ‘secrets’ of the sport are transferred from expert to novice and from one club to the other. Clubs are organised into international ‘teams’, shaping global communities of practitioners that share techniques and philosophies. Unlike many other martial arts that insist on the traditional way of passing knowledge from one teacher to many students behind the…
En direktelinje til fansen : en retorisk studie av norske artisters kommunikasjon i sosiale medier ved promotering av nytt materiale
2016
Masteroppgave samfunnskommunikasjon- Universitetet i Agder, 2016 Denne oppgaven undersøker hvordan norske popartister promoterer nytt materiale ved hjelp av sosiale medier. Studien sammenligner to debutanters praksiser med praksisene til to etablerte artister. Problemstillingen som blir besvart er: ”Med hvilke retoriske strategier kommuniserer norske artister på Facebook og Instagram ved promotering av ny musikk?”. Oppgaven studerer praksisene til artistene Sondre Justad, Siv Jakobsen, Sondre Lerche og Marit Larsen. Studien benytter teori om sosiale medier, promoteringsteori og klassisk retorikk som teoretisk rammeverk. Den har et kvalitativt fokus, og triangulerer multimodal retorisk tekst…
'We have a solution': Delivering on the promise to take national responsibility for nuclear waste management
2022
We examine the realization of the umbrella promise to assume national responsibility for the final disposal of spent nuclear fuel. Three case studies are used to illustrate how Finland delivers on the promise to take care of its own nuclear waste - a promise that has greatly contributed to the legitimacy of nuclear power in Finland. The article shows how this promise is being challenged by new competitors, business visionaries, and the public. The case studies illustrate the tensions between those who made the promise and the actors who interpret and mobilize the promise for varying purposes and under changing circumstances. We investigate techno-scientific promises by looking at debates ab…
Prometheus-leirit kasvun areenana
2019
Artikkelissa käsitellään Prometheus-leirien vaikutusta leiriläisiin. Tutkimus on monimenetelmäinen aineistolähtöinen tutkimus ja asettuu nuorisotutkimuksen monitieteiseen kenttään. Tulkinnat pohjautuvat leirien osallistujilta leirikesän 2017 aikana ja jälkeen koottuihin kirjoitelmiin ja videopäiväkirjoihin sekä verkkokyselyyn. Tutkimusote korostaa leiriläisten omia tulkintoja. Jäsentävänä käsitteenä käytetään maailmankuvien kehitystä. Aineistossa rakentuu tarina itseymmärryksen syvenemisestä ja leirin vaikuttavuuden prosessinomaisuudesta. Leirien vaikutus näyttää myös keskittyvän pikemminkin sosiaalisiin taitoihin kuin tietoon. peerReviewed

Promotion of school engagement through dialogic teaching practices in the context of a teacher professional development programme
2021
This study was conducted in the context of a teacher professional development programme that aimed to improve dialogic teaching in the classroom, and it describes the programme and examines the change in teachers' dialogic teaching practices and pupils' classroom engagement during the programme. Data on pupils' school engagement were collected using classroom video recordings and students' self-ratings at the end of the lesson including dialogic teaching practices. The participants comprised seven in-service teachers and their 140 pupils (10- to 15-year-olds) from two comprehensive schools. The findings indicated positive change in the use of dialogic teaching practices and in observed pupi…
Multiple directorships of corporate boards and firm performance in India
2017
The purpose of the paper is to investigate, first, the association between multiple directorship assignments (busyness) undertaken by corporate directors and firm performance, second, whether endogenously determined limits of multiple directorships, highlighting the ownership structure and other institutional settings, explain the above association better than those by exogenously mandated by regulators and third, the association between the nature of busyness and firm performance. The study develops measures of busyness in the light of the agency and resource dependence theories. The spline regression technique is applied in order to reflect institutional settings of a large sample and sub…
Platforma czasopism Uniwersytetu Opolskiego jako nowa forma działalności wydawniczej biblioteki

Platforma czasopism Uniwersytetu Opolskiego (UO) rozpoczęła działalność pod koniec 2018 r. i tym samym rozszerzyła działalność wydawniczą uczelni poza działające od kilkudziesięciu lat wydawnictwa: Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Opolskiego i Wydawnictwo Wydziału Teologicznego. Impulsem do jej stworzenia było ogłoszenie przez MNiSW konkursu na uzyskanie dofinansowania ze środków programu ministerialnego Wsparcie dla czasopism naukowych.

Obecnie redakcje 13 czasopism naukowych UO wykorzystują funkcjonalności platformy do zarządzania procesem wyd…
Educational and family-related determinants of organized sports participation patterns from adolescence to emerging adulthood : A four-year follow-up…
2022
This study aimed to identify organized sports participation patterns and their prevalence from adolescence to emerging adulthood, and the educational and family-related determinants of the patterns. Adolescents in the Finnish Health Promoting Sports Club (FHPSC) study answered a health behaviour questionnaire and reported on sports club participation at ages 15 and 19 (N = 609). In emerging adulthood, dropouts (total 41.05%; females 43.72%; males 36.56%), maintainers (30.87; 26.44; 38.33), nonparticipants (27.59; 29.32; 24.67), and joiners (0.49; 0.52; 0.44) (p =.024) were identified. A mixed multinomial logistic regression analysis showed, that male gender, as compared to female gender, in…
