Motywy myśliwskie i łowieckie w "Płomyku" (1917-1939)
2016
The review of hunting texts published in the interwar periodical Płomyk shows their formal, genre, and narrative variety. In the periodical, literary works such as short stories, legends, folk tales, and memoirs function on nearly equal rights as paraliterary and joumalistic texts (reportages, discussions, prose of memorial and documentary character). One may distinguish two conventions: the realistic and the fabular-fantastical, with the former being dominant. They are joined by the common goal: to teach about culture, natural history, and geography, and to invoke emotions. The authors describe charms and natural riches of the country, while trying to convey educational values: responsibil…
Fluctuations in muscle strength, shooting accuracy and serum hormone concentrations in conscripts during a 3-week combat training period
2015
Conscripts and soldiers have to perform their duties in a multistressor environment. During prolonged periods of combat training, fluctuations in strength levels and hormone concentrations have been noted. However, there is limited information regarding the changes in shooting performance and whether changes in strength and hormonal concentrations are correlated with it. This study examined strength levels, shooting performance and hormonal fluctuations during a 3-week combat training period. Possible correlations between the variables were examined and investigated. This study lasted for 37 days and involved 49 Finnish male conscripts as subjects. The subjects acted as their own controls d…
Growth and Physiological Performance of a Coastal Species Trifolium fragiferum as Affected by a Coexistence with Trifolium repens, NaCl Treatment and…
2021
The aim of the present study was to analyze the growth and physiological performance of two coexisting species, Trifolium fragiferum, and Trifolium repens, under the effect of NaCl and rhizobial symbiosis. Seeds of T. fragiferum and T. repens were collected from populations in the wild, and plants were cultivated in an automated greenhouse, two plants per container. Three basic types of planting were performed: (1) both plants were T. fragiferum (single species), (2) one T. fragiferum and one T. repens (species coexistence), (3) both plants were T. repens (single species). For every basic type, three subtypes were made: (1) non-inoculated, (2) inoculated with rhizobia taken from T. fargifer…
A Decade of GRB Follow-Up by BOOTES in Spain (2003–2013)
2016
This article covers ten years of GRB follow-ups by the Spanish BOOTES stations: 71 follow-ups providing 23 detections. Follow-ups by BOOTES-1B from 2005 to 2008 were given in a previous article and are here reviewed and updated, and additional detection data points are included as the former article merely stated their existence. The all-sky cameras CASSANDRA have not yet detected any GRB optical afterglows, but limits are reported where available.
Drought Stress Study on Nicotiana tabacum L., “Baladi”, an In Vitro Experimental Model
2021
Crops drought tolerance is a trait of outmost importance for agriculture especially today when climate change is affecting more the production for food and feed. The scope of this article is to evaluate in vitro drought stress response of Nicotiana tabacum L., “Baladi”. The experiment was set up for four successive stages starting with in vitro seedling development, hypocotyl cultivation, three generations of micropropagation, pre-acclimatization and acclimatization. The effect of abscisic acid (ABA) and/or polyethylene-glycol 6000 (PEG) on tobacco hypocotyl caulogenesis and micropropagation were investigated. Superoxide-dismutases (SODs) and peroxidases (POXs) are more active and different…
Syslog-protokollan viestien analysointi järjestelmän vianetsinnän apuna
2017
Tietojärjestelmät keräävät toiminnastaan jatkuvasti lokitietoja. Vikatilanteissa lokitietoja voidaan hyödyntää virheen paikantamisen apuna. Lokinkirjoittamisen teollisuusstandardiksi on noussut Syslog-protokolla. Tarve protokollaa varten kehitetyille lokianalyysitekniikoille ja -työkaluille on näin ollen noussut. Tässä kandidaatintutkielmassa pyritään esittelemään näitä analyysitekniikoita ja -työkaluja, ja pohtimaan näiden hyödyllisyyttä järjestelmän vianetsintää suorittavan järjestelmänvalvojan näkökulmasta. Information systems constantly gather operational log data. In case of system failure, this log data can be used as a troubleshooting tool in locating the problem source. The Syslog p…
Technical determinants of competitive rifle shooting performance
2018
The purpose of this thesis was to identify technical determinants of elite level air rifle and biathlon standing shooting performance and investigate how these technical determinants are affected by training, competition situation, or intense exercise. Forty international and national level air rifle shooters and 17 biathletes participated in the studies. In air rifle shooting, shooting performance, aiming point trajectory, and postural balance were measured from each shot in a simulated competition series in the training situation and in the actual competition situation. The shooters’ competition results were collected from each measured season. In biathlon, the same shooting technical var…
Violent Encounters : The Hobbesian State of Nature in DayZ
2016
In his seminal work on social contract theory, Leviathan, Thomas Hobbes described the anarchic pre-societal condition of the state of nature. In this predicament – aptly named as “the war of all against all” – people lived poor, short and brutish lives. The dystopian world simulated in the survival horror game DayZ mirrors this natural state of man. The game invites players to roleplay survivors of a zombie apocalypse. The present paper examines the factors contributing to pervasive violence, moral ambiguity and degeneration of human condition, which are prominent features of DayZ’s gameplay. The article will situate DayZ into the context of Hobbesian state of nature and explicate elements …
