"Mutta niille ei voi mitään, joilla on aivoissa vika" : mielisairauden kansanomaiset tulkinnat 1900-luvun alkuvuosikymmenten modernisoituvassa Suomes…
2015
Artikkelissa tarkastellaan mielisairauden kansanomaisia tulkintoja 1900-luvun ensimmäisinä vuosikymmeninä, jolloin mielisairaita ja muita marginaaliryhmiä koskeva yhteiskunnallinen keskustelu kävi vilkkaana. Mielisairaat alkoivat degeneraatioteorioiden myötä näyttäytyä modernisoituvan yhteiskunnan ei- toivottuina toisina, joiden henkinen ja fyysinen rappio uskottiin perinnölliseksi. Mielisairaaloiden lukumäärää lisättiin, mutta merkittävä osa mielisairaiksi katsotuista eli yhä laitosten ulkopuolella, esimerkiksi elätteellä maaseudun yksityisissä perheissä. Artikkelissa selvitetään, miten mielisairaisiin suhtaudutaan aikakauden maallikkokerronnassa ja millaisia käsityksiä esitetään mielisair…
On-Surface Reactions
2015
On-surface synthesis constitutes a rapidly growing field of research due to its promising application for creating stable molecular structures on surfaces. While self-assembled structures rely on reversible interactions, on-surface synthesis provides the potential for creating long-term stable structures with well-controlled properties, for example superior electron transport for future molecular electronic devices. On-surface synthesis holds the promise for preparing insoluble compounds that cannot be produced in solution. Another highly exciting aspect of on-surface synthesis is the chance to discover new reaction pathways due to the two-dimensional confinement of the reaction educts. In …
Case-specific performance of MM-PBSA, MM-GBSA, and SIE in virtual screening.
2015
In drug discovery the reliable prediction of binding free energies is of crucial importance. Methods that combine molecular mechanics force fields with continuum solvent models have become popular because of their high accuracy and relatively good computational efficiency. In this research we studied the performance of molecular mechanics generalized Born surface area (MM-GBSA), molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MM-PBSA), and solvated interaction energy (SIE) both in their virtual screening efficiency and their ability to predict experimentally determined binding affinities for five different protein targets. The protein-ligand complexes were derived with two different app…
Molecular Spintronic Devices: from Molecular Spin Valves to Spin-OLEDs
2017
La investigación llevada a cabo durante el periodo de tesis doctoral y que se describe en este manuscrito pertenece al campo de la espintrónica molecular. Ha sido motivada por el deseo de incorporar nuevos materiales moleculares a dispositivos espintrónicos y ahondar en la comprensión de la inyección y el transporte de espín en este tipo de capas, a través del estudio de dispositivos como la válvula de espín molecular y el spin-OLED. En 1988 Albert Fert y Peter Grünberg descubrieron que la resistencia eléctrica de unas multicapas de Fe-Cr variaba considerablemente en función de la magnetización de las láminas. El efecto se conoce hoy en día como magnetoresistencia gigante o GMR, por sus sig…
Late Pleistocene vertebrate - bearing deposits at San Teodoro Cave (North-Eastern Sicily): Preliminary data on faunal diversification and chronology
2008
Abstract This paper deals with the chronology and the possible correlations among levels of different excavated areas in the Pleistocene vertebrate-bearing deposits at the large San Teodoro Cave (North-Eastern Sicily). Two trenches have been excavated along the eastern side of the cave, located at a distance from the entrance, respectively, of 8 m ( α trench) and 28 m ( β trench) and at different depths. Lithological features, biometrical data from small mammals and ecological data from molluscs point to similar environmental conditions for the α trench deposits and those located along the eastern wall of the cave in the eastern part of the β trench. The same evidence, and the taphonomic fe…
Multi-resolution anisotropy studies of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays detected at the Pierre Auger Observatory
2017
We report a multi-resolution search for anisotropies in the arrival directions of cosmic rays detected at the Pierre Auger Observatory with local zenith angles up to $80^\circ$ and energies in excess of 4 EeV ($4 \times 10^{18}$ eV). This search is conducted by measuring the angular power spectrum and performing a needlet wavelet analysis in two independent energy ranges. Both analyses are complementary since the angular power spectrum achieves a better performance in identifying large-scale patterns while the needlet wavelet analysis, considering the parameters used in this work, presents a higher efficiency in detecting smaller-scale anisotropies, potentially providing directional informa…
Surface modification of gold nanoparticles and nanoclusters
2016
Gold nanoparticles are used in many beneficial technological applications in biochemistry, medicine and electronics. Among them, monolayer protected gold nanoclusters (MPCs) have received a significant attention in the scientific community due to their well-defined atomic structure, which is important for fundamental studies of nanoparticles properties and their functionalization. These particles, with a precise number of atoms, exhibit size-dependent optical, chemical and electronic properties. The thesis focuses on the structure, preparation, characterization, and properties of MPCs. For multifunctional applications, gold nanoparticles are an ideal class of compounds for surface functiona…
L’autoesposizione a pericolo fra colpa in ambiti illeciti e autoresponsabilità: il caso delle morti da assunzione di stupefacenti
2020
La rilevanza dell'autoresponsabilità della vittima viene considerato in relazione al caso della morte del consumatore di droghe. Si tratta di un una problematica ampiamente esaminata nella giurisprudenza tedesca e in quella italiana, con differenti esiti sulle norme applicabili nei due sitemi penali e ulteriori conseguenze dogmatiche sulla teoria generale della responsabilità penale colposa. The relevance of the victim's self-responsibility is considered in relation to the case of the death of the drug user. This issue has been extensively examined in German and Italian jurisprudence, with different outcomes on the applicable rules in the two criminal systems and further dogmatic consequenc…
Il volto fotografato. Logiche di potere e strategie di resistenza
2019
Mugshots’ uses and practices—from Bertillon to Lombroso—show the photograph’s power: face and its photographic image are a form of control for protecting the establishment. However political value and subversive force of photography lies in the dialectic between known and unknown that the image of the photographed face produces. Photographic portrait produces new, previously unknown relationships if it isn’t only used for purposes of reproduction: so it is able to be in opposition to the established order and its imperatives that want to eliminate chaos and differences.
Facebook viipurilaisten muistin paikkana
2021
The text looks at displaced Karelian groups – especially those related to Vyborg – on Facebook, which create a digital bridge between the past and the present. The groups are meta-archives as they store Vyborg-themed images and texts, share memories and host discussions related to Vyborg. There are participants from different generations. Facebook also enables virtual home region travel. peerReviewed
