Circulating interleukin (IL)-8, IL-2R, IL-12, and IL-15 levels are independently prognostic in primary myelofibrosis: a comprehensive cytokine profil…

2011

Purpose Abnormal cytokine expression accompanies myelofibrosis and might be a therapeutic target for Janus-associated kinase (JAK) inhibitor drugs. This study describes the spectrum of plasma cytokine abnormalities in primary myelofibrosis (PMF) and examines their phenotypic correlates and prognostic significance. Patients and Methods Patients included in this study were required to have archived plasma, bone marrow biopsy, and cytogenetic information available at the time of first referral to the Mayo Clinic. Multiplex biometric sandwich immunoassay was used to measure plasma levels of 30 cytokines. Results In total, 127 PMF patients were studied; comparison with normal controls (n = 35) r…

Early life stress and frailty in old age: the Helsinki birth cohort study

2018

Background: Evidence suggests that early life stress (ELS) may extend its effect into adulthood and predispose an individual to adverse health outcomes. We investigated whether wartime parental separation, an indicator of severe ELS, would be associated with frailty in old age. Methods: Of the 972 participants belonging to the present sub-study of the Helsinki Birth Cohort Study, 117 (12. 0%) had been evacuated abroad unaccompanied by their parents in childhood during World War II. Frailty was assessed at a mean age of 71 years according to Fried's criteria. Results: Thirteen frail men (4 separated and 9 non-separated) and 20 frail women (2 separated and 18 non-separated) were identified. C…

Morphology, reorganization and stability of mesomorphic nanocrystals in isotactic polypropylene

2006

Abstract The morphology and thermodynamic stability of crystals of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) were analyzed as a function of the path of crystallization by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Samples were melt-crystallized at different rates of cooling using a “controlled rapid cooling technique”, and subsequently annealed at elevated temperature. Mesomorphic equi-axed domains with a size less than 20 nm were obtained by fast cooling from the melt at a rate larger about 100 K s−1. These domains stabilize on heating by growing in chain direction and cross-chain direction, to reach a maximum size of about 40–50 nm at a temperature of 433 K, with the q…

Nyt näen! : Leo Mellerin kirjallinen toiminta Suomessa 1971-1979

2016

Tässä työssä olen tutkinut Leo Mellerin kirjallista tuotantoa Suomessa vuosina 1971-1979 ja vertaillut sitä sen hetkisiin todellisiin maailmanpoliittisiin tapahtumiin. Olen pohtinut, mistä Meller on saanut kirjojensa aiheet ja miksi hän on tulkinnut kyseiset maailmanpoliittiset tapahtumat juuri siten kuin hän ne kirjoissaan esittää. Tutkin Leo Mellerin kirjallista toimintaa myös erilaisten historiallisten selitysmallien avulla. Näitä historiallisia selitysmalleja ovat idealistiset selitysmallit ja rakenteelliset selitysmallit. Tutkimukseeni keskittyy vuosiin 1971-1979. Vuodesta 1971 lähtien Leo Meller aloitti maailmanpoliittisten tilanteiden tutkimisen ja niiden tulkitsemisen Raamatun ennus…

Loyalist and patriot political discourses in the American Revolutionary War 1773-1783 : a comparative discourse analysis of power, representation and…

2018

Yhdysvallat itsenäistyi vuosina 1775–1783 käydyssä sodassa. Monet aikalaiset käsitteellistivät nämä tapahtumat sisällissodaksi, sillä sodan molemmat osapuolet kuuluivat Britti-imperiumiin, sekä jakoivat saman kielellisen, poliittisen ja kulttuurillisen taustan. Tästä johtuen monia samoja poliittisia ja politisoituja käsitteitä jouduttiin uudelleenmäärittämään tehtäessä eroa sodan osapuolten välille. Analysoin pro gradu -työssäni vertailevasti Amerikan vallankumouksen osapuolten, lojalistien ja patrioottien, poliittisia diskursseja. Selvitän työssäni sitä millaisia käsitteitä, termejä, metaforia ja kielikuvia käytettiin käsitteellistämään sotaa. Temaattisesti työ on jaettu kahteen osaan. Ens…

Window to Europe : Finland and Nordic Fascist Networks during the Cold War

2022

For Finnish fascist groups and organisations, which were officially banned by the 1948 Paris Peace Treaty, Nordic contacts and networks provided an opportunity to maintain contact with their ideological comrades, if only in a clandestine manner, and open a window to Europe. For their Nordic comrades, Finland was a land glorified not only for its battles against the Soviet Union, but also a buffer state against the threat of communism. Contacts with the Finns were, in most cases, unofficial and often denied when revealed in the newspapers or by the police. From the 1950s onwards, organisational contacts were nevertheless also developed. By the 1970s, a Swedish fascist party, the Nordic Reich…

Mesophase formation in poly(propylene-ran-1-butene) by rapid cooling

2009

Abstract The effect of random insertion of low amount of 1-butene of less than about 11 mol% into the isotactic polypropylene chain on structure formation at non-isothermal crystallization at different rate of cooling was investigated by X-ray scattering, density measurements, and atomic force and polarizing optical microscopy. Emphasis is put on the evaluation of the condition of crystallization for replacement of lamellar crystals by mesomorphic nodules on increasing the cooling rate/supercooling. In the polypropylene homopolymer, mesophase formation occurs on cooling at rates larger about 150–200 K s −1 , while in case of poly(propylene- ran -1-butene) mesophase formation is observed on …
