Responses of a native plant species from invaded and uninvaded areas to allelopathic effects of an invader
2019
Invaders exert new selection pressures on the resident species, for example, through competition for resources or by using novel weapons. It has been shown that novel weapons aid invasion but it is unclear whether native species co‐occurring with in‐ vaders have adapted to tolerate these novel weapons. Those resident species which are able to adapt to new selective agents can co‐occur with an invader while others face a risk of local extinction. We ran a factorial common garden experiment to study whether a native plant species, Anthriscus sylvestris, has been able to evolve a greater tolerance to the allelochemicals exerted by the invader, Lupinus polyphyllus. Lupinus polyphyllus produces …
Wood-decaying fungi in old-growth boreal forest fragments: extinctions and colonizations over 20 years
2021
According to ecology theory, isolated habitat fragments cannot maintain populations of specialized species. Yet, empirical evidence based on monitoring of the same fragments over time is still limited. We studied the colonizationâextinction dynamics of eight wood-decaying fungal species in 16 old-growth forest fragments (<14 ha) over a 20-year period (1997â2017). We observed 19 extinctions and 5 colonizations; yet, the distribution of extinctions and colonizations did not differ from the one expected by chance for any of the species. Twenty-six percent of the extinctions took place in two natural fragments amid large forestâpeatland complexes. (Romell) Bourdot and Galzin decreased …
Uptake of hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in carriers of pathogenic mismatch repair variants:a Prospective Lynch Syndrome Database r…
2021
Purpose: This study aimed to report the uptake of hysterectomy and/or bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) to prevent gynaecological cancers (risk-reducing surgery [RRS]) in carriers of pathogenic MMR (path_MMR) variants.Methods: The Prospective Lynch Syndrome Database (PLSD) was used to investigate RRS by a cross-sectional study in 2292 female path_MMR carriers aged 30-69 years.Results: Overall, 144, 79, and 517 carriers underwent risk-reducing hysterectomy, BSO, or both combined, respectively. Two-thirds of procedures before 50 years of age were combined hysterectomy and BSO, and 81% of all procedures included BSO. Risk-reducing hysterectomy was performed before age 50 years in 28%, 25%,…
Converging endometrial and ovarian tumorigenesis in Lynch syndrome: Shared origin of synchronous carcinomas.
2018
AbstractObjective The diagnosis of carcinoma in both the uterus and the ovary simultaneously is not uncommon and raises the question of synchronous primaries vs. metastatic disease. Targeted sequencing of sporadic synchronous endometrial and ovarian carcinomas has shown that such tumors are clonally related and thus represent metastatic disease from one site to the other. Our purpose was to investigate whether or not the same applies to Lynch syndrome (LS), in which synchronous cancers of the gynecological tract are twice as frequent as in sporadic cases, reflecting inherited defects in DNA mismatch repair (MMR). Methods MMR gene mutation carriers with endometrial or ovarian carcinoma or en…
Polar Bear in 'Fortitude'. Affective Aesthetics and Politics of Climate Change
2021
In the first season of the television Eco Noir crime series “Fortitude” (2015) the polar bear appears as a sticky object that embodies an ambiguous affective charge as an icon of global warming. This article discusses the ways in which the polar bear evokes viewer affect in the series through two discourses. The first one relates to violence, essentially present in crime narratives, and how the human and nonhuman animal are positioned in relation to global warming, violence and each other. It raises questions of place and belonging in a local and global context and examines how the polar bear is constructed in terms of stranger danger and victimization in relation to human animals and the t…

Outoja omakuvia : performatiivisuus ja kokemus Alison Bechdelin omaelämäkerrallisessa sarjakuvaromaanissa Fun Home
2013
Analysoin tutkimuksessani Alison Bechdelin omaelämäkerrallista sarjakuvaromaania Fun Home. A Family Tragicomic (2006). Fun Home on omaelämäkerran lisäksi elämäkerta Alisonin isästä, Bruce Bechdelistä. Bruce tekee itsemurhan Alisonin ollessa noin kaksikymmentävuotias ja jättää jälkeensä joukon vastauksettomia kysymyksiä – Fun Homessa Alison pohtii näitä kysymyksiä ja vertailee Brucen elämäntarinaa omaansa. Alison identifioituu lesboksi ja epäilee myös Brucen olleen homoseksuaali. Teoksessa on runsaasti intertekstuaalisuutta: keskeinen subteksti on esimerkiksi Ikaroksen ja Daidaloksen myytti, jonka käänteinen uudelleenkerronta kuvaa Alisonin ja Brucen välistä suhdetta. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena…
