Type V collagen counteracts osteo-differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells
2014
In search of novel gene signatures for osteo-differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), we submitted cDNA preparations from undifferentiated and differentiating MSCs to differential display- and semiquantitative-PCR and found down-regulation of COL5A1 in osteo-induced cultures at days 21 and 28, when the mineralized matrix accumulates. We also cultured osteo-differentiating MSCs onto type V collagen substrates and found a decrease in the accumulation of extracellular calcium compared to those grown in uncoated flasks. To our knowledge, this is first evidence that type V collagen might represent a stromal component that impairs osteogenesis.
Content Aware Music Analysis with Multi-Dimensional Similarity Measure
2017
Music players and cloud solution for music recommendation and automatic playlist creation are becoming increasingly more popular, as they intent to overcome the issue of the difficulty for users to find fitting music, based on context, mood and impression. Much research on the topic has been conducted, which has recommended different approaches to overcome this problem. This paper suggests a system which uses a multi-dimensional vector space, based on the music’s key elements, as well as the mood expressed through them and the song lyrics, which allows for difference and similarity finding to automatically generate a contextually meaningful playlist. peerReviewed

Students’ experiences of their agency in whole-class playing
2022
The agency of primary school students has been studied increasingly in recent years; yet, we know relatively little about student agency in music educational settings or how students experience their participation in joint musical action. This study explores sixth-grade students’ experiences of their agency in whole-class playing. Qualitative content analysis of 11 pair interviews identified vulnerability as an essential element of participating in whole-class playing, highlighting the intrinsically emotional nature of the process, the immediacy of the musically shared moment and the safe place of entrainment. This study elucidates the enactment of agency and the resources facilitating and …
Communicating through ancillary gestures: Exploring effects on coperformers and audiences
2020
Musicians make elaborate movements while performing, often using gestures that might seem extraneous. To explore these movements, we motion-captured and audio-recorded different pairings of clarinetists and pianists performing Brahms’ Clarinet Sonata No. 1 with two manipulations: (a) allowing the performers full vs. no visual feedback, and (b) allowing the performers full vs. partial auditory feedback (i.e., the clarinetist could not hear the pianist). We found that observer ratings of audio–visual point-light renditions discriminated between manipulations and refined this insight through subsequent audio-alone and visual-alone experiments, providing an understanding of each modality’s cont…

Naurua Medusan tapaan : feministisen ironian ja yhteiskuntakritiikin mahdollisuuksista
2020
Medusa esiintyy antiikin mytologiassa käärmehiuksisena naishirviönä, gorgona, jonka kivettävää katsetta rohkeimmatkin miehet pelkäävät. Medusan myytissä esille tulevaa naiskuvaa on käsitelty sekä taiteentutkimuksessa että filosofiassa. Feministifilosofi ja -kirjailija Hélène Cixous (s. 1937) tekee myytistä ironisen tulkinnan, jossa Medusa nauraa häntä vastaan taistelevien miesten turhalle pelolle. Muutamia poikkeuksia lukuun ottamatta ironian ja feministisen filosofian välisiä yhteyksiä ei kuitenkaan ole selvitetty. Mitä Medusan myytti ja ironia tarjoavat feministiselle yhteiskuntakritiikille? Entä voiko ironia toimia uudenlaisen kirjoittamisen ja ajattelun tapana? peerReviewed
The Motivation Scale for the Game (EMJ) : study of the use of the game in educational contexts
2014
Aunque el juego ha sido estudiado y descrito desde múltiples ópticas, relevando su importancia en el desarrollo humano, su uso en el ámbito educativo pareciera estar restringido mayoritariamente al nivel de educación parvularia. En este sentido, la motivación de los docentes por la integración de nuevas metodologías (incluido el juego) parece ser una variable relevante a la hora de estudiar el cambio y la mejora en educación. El objetivo de este artículo es presentar una escala que puede ayudar al estudio de la motivación por el uso del juego y reportar sus características psicométricas. La Escala de Motivación por el Juego (EMJ) ha sido construida a partir del Modelo de Expectativa y Valor…
