Perifērā kāju muskuļa noguruma ietekme uz stājas stabilitāti
2016
Noguruma efekti galvenokārt pētīti, izmantojot tādus intensīvu dinamisku slodžu veidus, kā riteņbraukšana un skriešana, bet mazāk izometriskas slodzes. Pie tam noguruma ietekme uz stājas stabilitāti ir ļoti maz pētīta. Līdz ar to noguruma izcelsmei un cēloņiem arvien vairāk pievērš uzmanību fizioterapeiti, gan citi praktizējošie ārsti. Tāpēc darbā tika veikta perifēras izcelsmes izometriska slodze, kuras laikā tika veikts elektromiogrammas pieraksts nogurdinātajam muskulim. Iegūtie rezultāti liecina, ka lielākajai daļai personu samazinās m.vastus medialis elektriskā aktivitāte pēc slodzes, veicot stabilometrijas testu, ko, iespējams, var pamatot ar centrālās nervu sistēmas kompensējošo stra…
A link between heritable parasite resistance and mate choice in dung beetles
2019
Parasites play a central role in the adaptiveness of sexual reproduction. Sexual selection theory suggests a role for parasite resistance in the context of mate choice, but the evidence is mixed. The parasite-mediated sexual selection (PMSS) hypothesis derives a number of predictions, among which that resistance to parasites is heritable, and that female choice favors parasite resistance genes in males. Here, we tested the PMSS hypothesis using the dung beetle Onthophagus taurus, a species that can be heavily parasitized by Macrocheles merdarius mites, which are known to affect adult survival. We investigated the heritability of resistance to M. merdarius, as well as whether female O. tauru…
Perpetrator Trauma in Television Crime Series We Hunt Together
2022
Crime fiction scholarship increasingly focuses on trauma in contemporary crime narratives but has largely neglected to investigate perpetrator trauma. This article contributes to filling this gap by exploring perpetrator trauma in We Hunt Together (2020), a British television crime series written by Gaby Hull, that portrays the consequences of perpetrator trauma on a former child soldier from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Babeni (Baba) Lenga, waiting for permanent residency in the UK. Viewers learn about his violent past through flashbacks and his involvement with Frederica ‘Freddy’ Lane which precipitates Baba’s present return to violence. Informed by crime fiction studies, l…
Is HLA type a possible cancer risk modifier in Lynch syndrome?
2022
Lynch syndrome (LS) is the most common inherited cancer syndrome. It is inherited via a monoallelic germline variant in one of the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes. LS carriers have a broad 30-80% risk of developing various malignancies, and more precise, individual risk estimations would be of high clinical value, allowing tailored cancer prevention and surveillance. Due to MMR deficiency, LS cancers are characterized by the accumulation of frameshift mutations leading to highly immunogenic frameshift peptides (FSPs). Thus, immune surveillance is proposed to inhibit the outgrowth of MMR-deficient cell clones. Recent studies have shown that immunoediting during the evolution of MMR-deficient…

Fight evolution with evolution: plasmid‐dependent phages with a wide host range prevent the spread of antibiotic resistance
2013
The emergence of pathogenic bacteria resistant to multiple antibiotics is a serious worldwide public health concern. Whenever antibiotics are applied, the genes encoding for antibiotic resistance are selected for within bacterial populations. This has led to the prevalence of conjugative plasmids that carry resistance genes and can transfer themselves between diverse bacterial groups. In this study, we investigated whether it is feasible to attempt to prevent the spread of antibiotic resistances with a lytic bacteriophage, which can replicate in a wide range of gram‐negative bacteria harbouring conjugative drug resistance–conferring plasmids. The counter‐selection against the plasmid was sh…
Neural phoneme discrimination in variable speech in newborns – associations with dyslexia risk and later language skills
2023
AbstractA crucial skill in infant language acquisition is learning of the native language phonemes. This requires the ability to group complex sounds into distinct auditory categories based on their shared features. Problems in phonetic learning have been suggested to underlie language learning difficulties in dyslexia, a developmental reading-skill deficit. We investigated auditory abilities important for language acquisition in newborns with or without a familial risk for dyslexia with electrophysiological mismatch responses (MMRs). We presented vowel changes in a sequence of acoustically varying vowels, requiring grouping of the stimuli to two phoneme categories. The vowel changes elicit…

Koosta riippumatta : mikro- ja pienyritysten näkemyksiä yhteiskuntavastuusta
2015
Tutkielman tarkoituksena on selvittää eri alojen mikro- ja pienyritysten ajatuksia vastuullisesta liiketoiminnasta ja yhteiskuntavastuusta. Tutkimuskysymyksiä on yksi: Millaisia tekoja ja asioita yritykset pitävät omassa liiketoiminnassaan yhteiskuntavastuullisina? Käsitteellisen viitekehyksen muodostavat pääasiassa käsitteet vastuullinen liiketoiminta ja yhteiskuntavastuu. Myös arvot, johtaja- ja sidosryhmä-käsitteet suhteessa pääkäsitteisiin tukevat viitekehyksen rakentumista. Tutkielman aineisto koostuu 11 keskisuomalaisen eri alan mikro-ja pienyrityksen teemahaastatteluista. Aineisto on kerätty ja haastattelut on pidetty tammikuussa 2015. Aineiston analyysi on toteutettu teoriaohjaavall…
