A Reluctant Hero: Hannes Kolehmainen and the Politics of Sporting Fame in Finland

2012

A multiple Olympic champion and pioneer of long-distance running in Finland, Hannes Kolehmainen migrated to the United States after having triumphed at the 1912 Stockholm games. In spite of his working-class credentials that had led to tension prior to Stockhom, the Finnish bourgeois sport authorities adopted him as their hero and literally bought him back from America in the 1920s, soon after Finland had gained independence. Subsequently, a number of prominent observers and scholars have claimed that Kolehmainen's running prowess not only brought the Finnish people together but also contributed to Finland's quest for independence. This essay takes a critical look at the hegemonic understan…

Valorization of rapeseed meal by solid state fermentation for an application in animal nutrition

2017

Solid state fermentation (SSF) is a biotechnological process particularly well adapted to the treatment of vegetable biomass. This technology adjustable to industrial scale, is adapted to current challenges in animal nutrition by developing fermented products in order to improve the quality of raw materials from a nutritional and functional point of view. The work presented in this thesis considers these issues using rapeseed meal from the oil crushing industry.A first screening study highlighted several fungal strains based on their growth performance and protein enrichment (total and digestible) of the substrate. Levels similar to those of soybean meal, the main protein source in animal n…

Influence of culture conditions on production of flavour compounds by 29 ligninolytic Basidiomycetes

1990

The odorous volatile metabolites produced by 29 ligninolytic Basidiomycete strains (identified by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectroscopy — GC-MS) and the flavour quality of their cultures were investigated on 6 different liquid media tested with and without agitation. 113 compounds were identified, the most numerous being alcohols (2-methyl 1-propanol, 2-methyl 1-butanol, 3 methyl 1-butanol, 2 phenyl ethanol, 3,4, dimethoxy phenyl methanol, 4 vinyl phenol), aldehydes (3, 4 dimethoxybenzaldehyde) and ketones (4-hydroxy 3-methyl 2-phenyl 2-cyclopentene 1-one). One third of these compounds possessed an aromatic skeleton. The influences of medium composition and agitation conditions on…

Problèmes d'identification des habitats ruraux de l'Antiquité tardive en CHampagne)Ardenne

2011

Two sites in Champagne-Ardennes are illustrative of the discontinuity of the vestiges of the phases of occupation during Late Antiquity. At Saint-Germain-la-Ville (Marne), a large rural building seems at first view to have been unoccupied between the 3rd and 6th centuries although the organisation of Merovingian buildings partly imitated that of the Early Empire. Despite the absence of relics that can be associated with certainty, a continuous presence seems to have been highly likely during the 4th and 5th centuries. At Semoine (Aube), the bulk of the objects from the 7th and 8th centuries found on the site were produced during Late Antiquity, while a single storeroom dates from that perio…

Chemical messages in 170-year-old champagne bottles from the Baltic Sea: Revealing tastes from the past

2015

International audience; Archaeochemistry as the application of the most recent analytical techniques to ancient samples now provides an unprecedented understanding of human culture throughout history. In this paper, we report on a multiplatform analytical investigation of 170-y-old champagne bottles found in a shipwreck at the bottom of the Baltic Sea, which provides insight into winemaking practices used at the time. Organic spectroscopy-based nontargeted metabolomics and metallomics give access to the detailed composition of these wines, revealing, for instance, unexpected chemical characteristics in terms of small ion, sugar, and acid contents as well as markers of barrel aging and Maill…

The Impact of World and European Football Cups on Stroke in the Population of Dijon, France: A Longitudinal Study from 1986 to 2006

2013

Background: Acute stress may trigger vascular events. We aimed to investigate whether important football competitions involving the French football team increased the occurrence of stroke. Methods: We retrospectively retrieved data of fatal and nonfatal stroke during 4 World Football Cups (1986, 1998, 2002, and 2006) and 4 European Championships (1992, 1996, 2000, and 2004), based on data from the population-based Stroke Registry of Dijon, France. One period of exposure was analyzed: the period of competition extended to 15 days before and after the competitions. The number of strokes was compared between exposed and unexposed corresponding periods of preceding and following years using Poi…

Engagement in sports virtual brand communities

2018

Abstract The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of sports sponsorship in virtual brand communities (VBCs) on consumers' engagement within these communities. We used a professional team in the Scotiabank National Opening Championship (Chile) as the study context and collected data from participants (N = 268) on the team's social networks. We used structural equation systems and the Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) technique to test the hypotheses. The results present five causal combinations, considering factors inherent to the team sponsor that influence engagement within a VBC. The QCA model and SEM explain 78.5% and 71% of engagement, respectively. The most noteworthy variab…

Impact of age, performance and athletic event on injury rates in master athletics - First results from an ongoing prospective study

2014

Objectives: Recent studies have identified rates of injuries in young elite athletes during major athletic events. However, no such data exist on master athletes. The aim of this study was to assess incidence and types of injuries during the 2012 European Veteran Athletics Championships as a function of age, performance and athletic discipline. Methods: Report forms were used to identify injured athletes and injury types. Analysis included age (grouped in five-year bands beginning at age 35 years), athletic event, and age-graded performance. Results: Of the 3154 athletes (53.2 years (SD 12.3)) that participated in the championships (1004 (31.8%) women, 2150 (68.2%) men), 76 were registered …
