Läsnäolon tärkeys : opiskelijoiden läsnäolo, siihen vaikuttavat tekijät ja läsnäolon vaikutus oppimistuloksiin
2015
Opiskelijoiden läsnäolon ja oppimistulosten yhteyttä on tutkittu paljon. Opiskelijat saavuttavat parempia oppimistuloksia, mikäli he ovat useammin paikalla luennoilla. Yleisimpiä syitä poissaoloon ovat muiden opintojen työtaakka, sairastaminen ja kokemus siitä, että luennoitsijat eivät tuo riittävästi lisätietoa heiltä saatujen, valmiiden muistiinpanojen lisäksi. Kursseille ilmoittautuneista opiskelijoista on aikaisempien tutkimusten mukaan osallistunut luennolle 30 % – 80 %. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää, kuinka iso osa kursseille ilmoittautuneista opiskelijoista on läsnä Jyväskylän yliopiston bio- ja ympäristötieteiden laitoksen luennoilla, mitkä tekijät vaikuttavat läsnäolo…
“Sexuality does not belong to the game” : Discourses in Overwatch Community and the Privilege of Belonging
2022
Players can experience a sense of belonging to videogames and the transmedial worlds surrounding them. There nevertheless exist ongoing negotiations over who has the right to belong to these spaces. Multiple works addressing related issues have highlighted that white heterosexual men still maintain the position of power in the majority of game communities (e.g., Consalvo, 2012; Paul, 2018). This position can translate into an ease of belonging while others can find themselves struggling for the right to belong. We examine the transmedial world of Overwatch, an online game, as a place of belonging and non-belonging. Since the game’s launch, two characters have been revealed as queer. In cont…
The STAT3 Inhibitor Galiellalactone Reduces IL6-Mediated AR Activity in Benign and Malignant Prostate Models
2018
IL6/STAT3 signaling is associated with endocrine therapy resistance in prostate cancer, but therapies targeting this pathway in prostate cancer were unsuccessful in clinical trials so far. The mechanistic explanation for this phenomenon is currently unclear; however, IL6 has pleiotropic effects on a number of signaling pathways, including the androgen receptor (AR). Therefore, we investigated IL6-mediated AR activation in prostate cancer cell lines and ex vivo primary prostate tissue cultures in order to gain a better understanding on how to inhibit this process for future clinical trials. IL6 significantly increased androgen-dependent AR activity in LNCaP cells but importantly did not infl…
Self-pathologizing, self-condemning, self-liberating: Youths' accounts of their ADHD-related behavior
2016
This study analyzes the discursive construction of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and self in relation to a socioculturally shared understanding of moral norms. Thirteen Finnish youth aged 11 to 16 diagnosed with ADHD were interviewed during this discourse analysis study. The youth accounted for their culturally undesirable behavior, performance and traits through three different types of accounts: (1) externalizing personal responsibility due to a compelling medical condition, (2) internalizing personal responsibility through moral self-condemnation, and (3) distancing oneself from the socially imposed stereotypes and stigmas related to ADHD. This study challenges dominant…
Genetic variants associated with human eye size are distinct from those conferring susceptibility to myopia
2021
Purpose: Emmetropization requires coordinated scaling of the major ocular components, corneal curvature and axial length. This coordination is achieved in part through a shared set of genetic variants that regulate eye size. Poorly coordinated scaling of corneal curvature and axial length results in refractive error. We tested the hypothesis that genetic variants regulating eye size in emmetropic eyes are distinct from those conferring susceptibility to refractive error.Methods: A genome-wide association study (GWAS) for corneal curvature in 22,180 adult emmetropic individuals was performed as a proxy for a GWAS for eye size. A polygenic score created using lead GWAS variants was tested for…

«Патриотизм» и религиозная идентичность в тисках политической игры: дискурсивное измерение (Religious and patriots identity in the grip of political …
2017
в статье рассматриваются новые направления включения и исключения в российском обществе. Усиление законодательства о безопасности, которое ускорилось после панк-выступления Pussy Riot в Храме Христа Спасителя и волна гражданских про- тестов, которые вспыхнули до и после президентских выборов 2012 года, послужили ос- нованием для строительства новых форм идентичности. С того времени главные раздели- тельные дискурсы и цензурная деятельность были предложены представителями Русской Православной Церкви, так называемыми патриотическими активистами и защитниками традиционных российских норм. Таким образом, эти идентичности стали политическим инструментом идеологической борьбы на культурной террит…
