Microbial Community Response on Wastewater Discharge in Boreal Lake Sediments
2017
Despite high performance, municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) still discharge significant amounts of organic material and nitrogen and even microbes into the receiving water bodies, altering physico-chemical conditions and microbial functions. In this study, we examined how nitrified wastewater affects the microbiology of boreal lake sediments. Microbial community compositions were assessed with next generation sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene, and a more detailed view on nitrogen transformation processes was gained with qPCR targeting on functional genes (nirS, nirK, nosZI, nosZII, amoAarchaea, and amoAbacteria). In both of the two studied lake sites, the microbial community compo…
Serotonin receptor agonist treatment induces transactivation of fibroblast growth factor receptor-1 (FGFR1) tyrosine kinase in the rat hippocampal ne…
2010
Over the past decade, many examples of activation of receptor tyrosine kinases in response to G-protein coupled receptor signaling have been reported, indicating that there are alternative modes of receptor tyrosine kinase activation (transactivation) in the absence of neurotrophic factor binding. In the present work, we aimed to examine if 5-HT receptor subtype activation may induce fibroblast growth factor receptor-1 (FGFR1) phosphorylation through transactivation of tyrosine kinase. The study has been performed in young adult rats treated with the selective 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-OHDPAT at the dose of 0.4 mg/kg/i.p.. FGFR1 phosphorylation was evaluated by immunoprecipitation and weste…
Cetacean Morbillivirus: Current Knowledge and Future Directions
2014
We review the molecular and epidemiological characteristics of cetacean morbillivirus (CeMV) and the diagnosis and pathogenesis of associated disease, with six different strains detected in cetaceans worldwide. CeMV has caused epidemics with high mortality in odontocetes in Europe, the USAand Australia. It represents a distinct species within the Morbillivirusgenus. Although most CeMV strains are phylogenetically closely related, recent data indicate that morbilliviruses recovered from Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus), from Western Australia, and a Guiana dolphin (Sotalia guianensis), from Brazil, are divergent. The signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAM) cell rec…
Modeling the Effect of Modified Atmospheres on Conidial Germination of Fungi from Dairy Foods
2017
Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) is commonly applied to extend food shelf-life. Despite growth of a wide variety of fungal contaminants has been previously studied in relation to modified-atmospheres, few studies aimed at quantifying the effects of dioxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) partial pressures on conidial germination in solid agar medium. In the present study, an original culture method was developed, allowing microscopic monitoring of conidial germination under modified-atmospheres in static conditions. An asymmetric model was utilized to describe germination kinetics of Paecilomyces niveus, Mucor lanceolatus, Penicillium brevicompactum, Penicillium expansum, and Penicillium …
Une analyse exploratoire des disparités régionales dans l'Europe élargie
2005
http://www.regionetdeveloppement.u-3mrs.fr/; National audience; L'objectif de cet article est d'analyser les inégalités régionales dans l'Union Européenne élargie à l'aide de l'Analyse Exploratoire des Données Spatiales appliquée aux PIB par tête des 258 régions de l'Europe des 27 sur la période 1995-2000. Les résultats montrent l'existence d'une forte autocorrélation spatiale globale et locale ainsi qu'une forte hétérogénéité dans la distribution des richesses. Ils montrent également un changement de polarisation, puisque l'élargissement conduit à un schéma de polarisation Nord-Ouest - Est à la place du schéma Nord-Sud traditionnellement mis en évidence dans la littérature. Finalement, cet…
A Dataset of Annotated Omnidirectional Videos for Distancing Applications
2021
Omnidirectional (or 360°) cameras are acquisition devices that, in the next few years, could have a big impact on video surveillance applications, research, and industry, as they can record a spherical view of a whole environment from every perspective. This paper presents two new contributions to the research community: the CVIP360 dataset, an annotated dataset of 360° videos for distancing applications, and a new method to estimate the distances of objects in a scene from a single 360° image. The CVIP360 dataset includes 16 videos acquired outdoors and indoors, annotated by adding information about the pedestrians in the scene (bounding boxes) and the distances to the camera of some point…

Consistency of Targeted Metatranscriptomics and Morphological Characterization of Phytoplankton Communities
2020
The composition of phytoplankton community is the basis for environmental monitoring and assessment of the ecological status of aquatic ecosystems. Community composition studies of phytoplankton have been based on time-consuming and expertise-demanding light microscopy analyses. Molecular methods have the potential to replace microscopy, but the high copy number variation of ribosomal genes and the lack of universal primers for simultaneous amplification of prokaryotic and eukaryotic genes complicate data interpretation. In this study, we used our previously developed directional primer-independent high-throughput sequencing (HTS) approach to analyze 16S and 18S rRNA community structures. C…

”Mies kaatuu sinänsä kunniakkaasti” – psykoanalyyttinen luenta miesten terveysoppaista
2018
Artikkelissa kysytään, millainen on miehisen terveyskäyttäytymisen kulttuuriperintö; millä tavalla menneisyys, yhteiskunta, tavat ja arvot ovat miesten terveyden edistämiseen tähtäävissä teksteissä läsnä, ja miten ne toimivat. Artikkelin aineistona on kymmenen vuosina 1998–2010 julkaistua suomalaista, miehille suunnattua terveys- ja hyvinvointiopasta. Aineistoa lähestytään kulttuuriperinnön tutkimuksen näkökulmasta ja analyysissä käytetään kristevalaista psykoanalyyttista luentaa. Oppaiden terveysneuvonta perustuu käsitykselle miehestä, jonka terveyskäyttäytymiseen ja -ongelmiin vaikuttavat biologia ja myyttinen menneisyys. Oppaissa tulkinta kulttuuriperinnöstä esitetään samanlaisella varmu…
