Abiotic and biotic controls on methane formation down to 2.5 km depth within the Precambrian Fennoscandian Shield
2017
Abstract Despite a geological history characterised by high temperature and pressure processes and organic carbon deprived crystalline bedrock, large amounts of hydrocarbons are found in deep groundwaters within Precambrian continental shields. In many sites, methane comprises more that 80% of the dissolved gas phase reaching concentrations of tens of mmol l −1 . In this study, we used isotopic methods to study the carbon isotope systematics and sources of crustal methane within the Fennoscandian Shield. The main study sites were the Outokumpu Deep Drill Hole and the Pyhasalmi mine in Finland, both of which allow groundwater sampling down to 2.5 km depth and have been previously studied for…
Springtails (Collembola) in meadows, pastures and road verges in Central Finland
2017
Understanding of species distribution, abundance and habitat affinities is crucial for red-list assessment, conservation and habitat management. In Central Finland, we studied Collembola in three habitat types, namely non-grazedmeadows, pastures and road verges using pitfall traps. Altogether, 9,630 Collembola individuals were recorded. These belonged to 12 families, 34 genera and 60 species. The number of specimens was clearly higher in meadows than in pastures or road verges. The number of species, however, was higher in meadows and road verges (40 and 39 species, respectively) than in pastures (33 species). The overall species number is comparable to other large-scale sampling schemes in…
Phytoplankton assemblages respond differently to climate warming and eutrophication : A case study from Pyhäjärvi and Taihu
2016
Abstract Long-term monitoring data from two lakes located at different latitudes were used to test the hypothesis that phytoplankton communities respond differently to environmental changes (e.g., global warming and anthropogenic activities, mainly eutrophication). Lake Pyhajarvi (temperate area) and Lake Taihu (subtropical area) are both shallow and productive lakes. Presence/absence data indicated that phytoplankton taxa present did not change significantly in the two lakes over the last two decades. However, biomass data showed that dominance relationships of species changed in both lakes. Results of assemblage ordination indicated that climate change played a vital role in mediating phy…
Are sacred caves still safe havens for the endemic bats of Madagascar?
2018
AbstractDespite conservation discourses in Madagascar increasingly emphasizing the role of customary institutions for wildlife management, we know relatively little about their effectiveness. Here, we used semi-structured interviews with 54 adults in eight villages to investigate whether sacred caves and taboos offer conservation benefits for cave-dwelling bats in and around Tsimanampetsotsa National Park, south-west Madagascar. Although some caves were described as sites of spiritual significance for the local communities, most interviewees (c. 76%) did not recognize their present-day sacred status. Similarly, only 22% of the interviewees recognized taboos inhibiting bat hunting and consum…
Young Adults’ Conceptions of the Sacred in Finland Today
2016
This study examined young adults’ perspectives on the concept of the sacred. Altogether, 334 young Finnish adults aged 19–35 were studied through a self-report questionnaire. The participants’ personal conceptions, reflections and experiences of the sacred were assessed with open-ended questions. Answers were classified in a data-determined content analysis using a thematic analytical approach. In addition, the study examined how these understandings of the sacred were related to subjective religiosity and how the definitions vary across gender. The findings suggest that the conceptions of the sacred mainly concentrate on individuality and personal issues, including personal opinion, rest a…
Kansallispuistojen kehitys Keski-Suomessa
2017
Kansallispuistojen perustaminen on keskeinen osa luonnonsuojelun historiaa Suomessa. Tarkoituksenani on selvittää kansallispuistojen kehitystä ja erityisesti niiden perustamisprosessia Keski-Suomessa. Tutkimuksessa keskitytään Pyhä-Häkin, Salamajärven, Isojärven ja Leivonmäen kansallispuistoihin. Lähestymistapani pohjaa ympäristöhistoriaan, eli otan huomioon tutkimuksessa ihmisen ja ympäristön suhteen. Ensimmäiset kansallispuistot perustettiin Suomeen vuonna 1938. Ensimmäinen keskisuomalainen kansallispuisto (Pyhä-Häkki) perustettiin vuonna 195, seuraavat vasta 1980-luvulla. 1950- ja 1970-lukujen välillä kansallispuistojen hoito, kehittäminen ja suunnittelu olivat huonolla tolalla, sillä ka…

Vaginadialogeja : kuukautisveren tabu Hanni Haapaniemen Neitsyt Maria -maalauksissa
2015
Tässä pro gradu -tutkielmassa käsitellään kuukautisveren symboliikkaa taiteessa. Tutkimuskohteina ovat Hanni Haapaniemen kolme kuukautisverellä maalattua Neitsyt Maria -aiheista teosta. Tutkimuskysymys voiko lika rikkoa pyhän idean? johdattaa selvittämään pyhän käsitteen muodostumista sekä kansanuskon että kristinuskon konteksteissa, sillä yhteisöt ovat jo ennen kirkkouskontojen syntymistä erottaneet pyhää määrittäneet kohteensa profaanista erilaisin tabusäännöin määritellyin rajanvedoin. Kuukautisveren symboliikka on kahtiajakoinen, sillä se pyhän veren metaforana yhdistyy ruumiineritteeseen, joka ylittää ihmisruumiin symboliset ja fyysiset rajat ”tunkeutuen” ulos pyhän, eheän ruumiin yhte…
