Englannin kieli viittomakielisten arjessa
2013
Suomi on viittomakielialan ja kuurojen opetuksen edelläkävijämaita. Viittomakielisten oikeudet on Suomessa turvattu perustuslaissa (731/1999), ja viittomakielisillä on oikeus saada opetusta viittomakielellä. Koulutuksen tavoitteena on toimiva kaksikielisyys. Paljon on panostettu siihen, että viittomakielinen kielivähemmistömme voi käyttää viitottua kieltä ja osallistua aktiivisesti yhteiskuntaan. Suomen kielen opetukseen on satsattu, mutta englannin kielen oppimisen tutkimukseen ja opetuksen kehittämiseen ei ole ollut juurikaan resursseja. Väitöskirjatutkimuksessani tarkastelin, miten ja missä suomalaista viittomakieltä käyttävät kohtaavat ja käyttävät englannin kieltä arjessaan. nonPeerRev…
Replication of herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 in the medulla of the adrenal gland after vaginal infection of mice.
1996
After vaginal infections of mice with neuroinvasive strains of herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 (HSV-1, HSV-2) virus replicates in the epithelium of the vagina, in the paravaginal ganglia, in the spinal cord and finally in the brain and in the adrenal glands. However, viral antigens could be demonstrated only in the medulla of the adrenal glands but not in the cortex, as assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC). HSV could not be isolated from liver, spleen, uterus, and ovaries. This contrasts to the intraperitoneal (i.p) route of infection with replication in different visceral organs including the adrenal gland's cortex.
Colonization of adrenal glands and ovaries of mice by variants of HSV 1 and 2
1991
The herpes simplex virus (HSV)-infected mouse model was used to correlate histopathological lesions in adrenal glands and ovaries with the localisation of viral nucleic acids and viral antigens, employing in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. In the adrenals, the lesions were mainly restricted to the zona fasciculata and the zona reticularis, sometimes extending to the medulla. In the ovaries, lesions were detected in follicles and in the stroma. During the course of infection, HSV nucleic acids could be detected earlier than HSV proteins. Next to the center of necrotic foci mainly HSV proteins were detected, whereas peripheral cells were found to contain viral nucleic acids. In s…
Migrējošu pigmejsikspārņu (Pipistrellus pygmaeus) orientācijas uzvedība
2018
Pigmejsiskpārnis (Pipistrellus pygmaeus) ir viena no Latvijas sezonāli tālu migrējošajām sikspārņu sugām. Lai šāda veida migrācija būtu veiksmīga, dzīvniekam ir jābūt labi attīstītām orientācijas un navigācijas spējām. Šajā darbā es apkopoju informāciju par iespējamiem sikspārņu orientācijas mehānismiem migrācijas laikā, kā arī pārbaudīju sikspārņu spēju orientēties migrācijas virzienā apstākļos, kuros nav pieejami vizuālie orientieri. Papildus atsevišķi tika vērtētas arī pieaugušo un jauno (migrācijas gada vasarā dzimušo) sikspārņu orientācijas spējas. Laika posmā no 2017. gada 15. augusta līdz 2017. gada 24. augustam Latvijas Universitātes Bioloģijas institūta Papes Ornitoloģisko pētījumu…
”Unelmieni oppitunti” englannin kielen opettajakoulutettavien visualisoimana
2017
This study views the motivation of future teachers from quite a novel perspective: in terms of vision or envisioning. The study was carried out with student teachers of English (n=31) enrolled on a MA degree programme at a university in Finland. They were asked to envision an English class of their dreams after graduating as qualified teachers. The students produced a picture and were asked to comment on it briefly and provide some further details concerning the class. The task was carried out as part of one of the first professionally oriented courses in the students’ university studies. The pictures complemented with commentaries, or pools of multimodal data, were subjected to qualitative…
Motion perception in early glaucoma
2013
Purpose: The aim of our study was to underline the changes in the movement perception for early glaucoma. Our working hypothesis consisted in inquiring if the impairment of the magnocellular pathway may modify the movement perception capabilities in the visual field, more particularly in its peripheral area.Methods: We included 14 healthy subjects and 14 patients with early primary open angle glaucoma. A moving target was presented on a semicircular screen (1.8 m diameter); participants were asked to localize the Ending Point (EP) of each movement. Each stimulus consisted in a white dot (0,72° of diameter) moving horizontally with the imposed velocity profile. Two different laws of motion w…
Learning and teaching oral communication in English in vocational school : learners' and teachers' views
2015
Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää Englannin opetuksen tilaa ammatillisessa koulutuksessa. Suullista kielitaitoa painotetaan Ammatillisen perustutkinnon perusteissa sekä koulukohtaisissa opetussuunnitelmissa, joten myös tämä tutkimus keskittyi siihen. Vastaavia tutkimuksia on aiemmin tehty lukio-opetuksesta, mutta ei ammatillisesta opetuksesta. Aihe on tärkeä koska Suomessa osallistuu vuosittain satoja tuhansia ihmisiä ammatilliseen koulutukseen. Tutkimukseen osallistui 61 kolmannen vuoden opiskelijaa ja kolme opettajaa. Oli tärkeää, että molempien osapuolten näkemykset pääsivät esiin. Opiskelijoilta data kerättiin Internet-kyselyn avulla, jossa oli sekä monivalintakysymyksiä että avoi…
Evolution of Seismicity During a Stalled Episode of Reawakening at Cayambe Volcano, Ecuador
2021
Cayambe Volcano is an ice-capped, 5,790 m high, andesitic-dacitic volcanic complex, located on the equator in the Eastern Cordillera of the Ecuadorian Andes. An eruption at Cayambe would pose considerable hazards to surrounding communities and a nationally significant agricultural industry. Although the only historically documented eruption was in 1785, it remains persistently restless and long-period (LP) seismicity has been consistently observed at the volcano for over 10 years. However, the sparse monitoring network, and complex interactions between the magmatic, hydrothermal, glacial, and tectonic systems, make unrest at Cayambe challenging to interpret. In June 2016 a seismic “crisis” …
Electrical conductivity of glass fiber-reinforced plastic with nanomodified matrix for damage diagnostic
2021
The electrical conductivity of glass fiber-reinforced plastic (GFRP) with epoxy matrix modified by multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) was studied. The electrical conductivity of nanomodified lamina and multi-layered GFRP was investigated on several levels using a structural approach. Components of the electrical conductivity tensor for unidirectional-reinforced monolayer were calculated similarly as in micromechanics using the conductivity of the nanomodified matrix. The electrical conductivity of multilayer composite was calculated using laminate theory and compared with values measured experimentally for various fiber orientation angles. Calculated and experimental data were in good agree…
