Kansainvälistymisen haaste : opetusministeriö opiskelijavaihdon järjestäjänä sodanjälkeisen kauden Suomessa
2022
Toista maailmasotaa seuranneiden vuosikymmenten aikana ihmisten liikkuvuus lisääntyi merkittävästi kietoutuen yhteen laajentuvan korkeakoulutuksen kanssa. Käsittelemme tässä artikkelissa kansainvälisiä stipendiohjelmia ja opetusministeriön roolia Suomen sodan jälkeisessä kansainvälistymisessä. Tarkemmin sanottuna tarkastelemme suomalaisen opiskelijavaihdon kehittymistä kylmän sodan kehikossa, erityisesti opetusministeriön ja ulkoministeriön näkökulmasta. Osoitamme, miten opetusministeriö nousi keskeiseksi toimijaksi tällä kulttuuridiplomatian alueella, joka Suomessa oli perinteisesti kuulunut ulkoministeriön alaisuuteen. Tarkastelun ulkopuolelle jäävät kaupalliset ja järjestöjen ylläpitämät…
The transposable element-rich genome of the cereal pest Sitophilus oryzae
2021
AbstractBackgroundThe rice weevil Sitophilus oryzae is one of the most important agricultural pests, causing extensive damage to cereal in fields and to stored grains. S. oryzae has an intracellular symbiotic relationship (endosymbiosis) with the Gram-negative bacterium Sodalis pierantonius and is a valuable model to decipher host-symbiont molecular interactions.ResultsWe sequenced the Sitophilus oryzae genome using a combination of short and long reads to produce the best assembly for a Curculionidae species to date. We show that S. oryzae has undergone successive bursts of transposable element (TE) amplification, representing 72% of the genome. In addition, we show that many TE families a…
Suomi ja kriittisen militarismitutkimuksen tarve
2021
Esittelemme kriittistä militarismitutkimusta (engl. Critical Mfilitary Studies) ja tutkimuksellisia näkökulmia suomalaiseen militarismiin ja militarisaatioon. Pohdimme, millaisia ilmentymiä militarismi ja militarisaatio saavat Suomessa, ja hahmottelemme mahdollisia tulevan tutkimuksen suuntia. Pyrimme herättämään keskustelua suomalaisen yhteiskunnan militarisaatiosta, sotilaallisen vallan koskemattomuudesta sekä ekseptionalistisesta asemasta suomalaisessa yhteiskunnassa. Tuomme esiin tarvetta kriittiselle militarismitutkimukselle avoimemman ja monipuolisemman sotilaallista valtaa koskevan keskustelun ja tutkimuksen edistämiseksi. Esittelemme lyhyesti kansainvälisen tutkimuksen kenttää, ja t…
José María Ponsoda Bravo y la imagen escultórica religiosa de su tiempo en Valencia
2017
La presente tesis se centra en el estudio de la vida y la obra del escultor José María Ponsoda Bravo (Barcelona, 1882-Valencia, 1963), en el contexto de la imaginería valenciana de su tiempo. Valorado y apreciado en su tiempo como uno de los mejores imagineros valencianos, a raíz de su muerte, la figura de José María Ponsoda cayó en el olvido, percibiéndose un proceso de recuperación de su nombre desde los años noventa coincidiendo con el interés por la escultura en madera policromada. Juntamente con Barcelona, Valencia detentó un papel hegemónico como centro productor de imaginería con respecto a otros centros peninsulares, desde el segundo tercio del siglo XIX, como el número de obradores…
Data from: Effects of undergrowth removal and edge proximity on ground beetles and vascular plants in urban boreal forests
2019
Urban forests are regularly managed for human safety and aesthetic reasons, but they are crucial habitat for many species. Removals of undergrowth occur commonly in these forests, yet the ecological consequences of these operations are poorly understood. We sampled ground beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) and vascular plants along 20-m edge gradients in Finnish urban forests, in five stands treated 0.5−2.5 years earlier with undergrowth removal and in five untreated stands. We hypothesized that undergrowth removal and edge proximity would benefit opportunistic and open-habitat species, whereas shady-habitat species would be affected negatively. (1) Regarding carabids, diversity and evenness i…
Does the potentially toxic cyanobacterium Microcystis exist in the soda lakes of East Africa?
2011
Presently, the food chains of the famous saline alkaline flamingo-lakes of East Africa are the focus of intense scientific discussion as the lakes host toxic cyanobacteria, which when consumed by Lesser Flamingos, weaken the birds and therefore make them susceptible to attacks by infective diseases. The distribution, genetic and toxicological aspects of Microcystis in Kenya has been studied extensively. Although there are reports on the occurrence of Microcystis in Kenya’s hypersaline alkaline lakes, they have not been confirmed. Our investigations carried out over a 10-year period in about 50 inland waters showed that Microcystis occurs exclusively in freshwaters, but never in the hypersal…
Delignification of bamboo (Bambusa procera acher)
2004
Abstract Delignification of bamboo ( Bambusa procera acher ) was carried out by conventional kraft and soda pulping under varying conditions to determine the relationships between selected cooking parameters (EA 14–20%, sulfidity 0–45%, maximum temperature 165 and 170 °C, and time at maximum temperature 30–95 min) and pulp properties (kappa number, viscosity, and yield). Results indicated that in order to obtain relatively low kappa numbers (17–24), high sulfidity (35–45%) at lower EA (14–16%) increased both pulp viscosity and yield compared to the case of low sulfidity (0–15%) at higher EA (16–18%). Pulp with lower kappa numbers (11–15) and acceptable viscosities (1080–1190 ml/g) can be ob…
An Optimized and Rapid DNA Extraction Method From Leaves of Grapevine Suitable for PCR-DGGE Based Analysis
2010
Molecular techniques and genetic studies require a fair amount of DNA of high quality in order to produce reliable and clear results (Li et al., 2007). In grapevine, the yield and quality of DNA can be significantly affected by secondary metabolites such as polyphenols, polysaccharides and tannins, that may be consistently abundant during the different stages of leaf development (Iandolino et al., 2004). The development of a simple, rapid and reliable method for the extraction of genomic DNA from grape leaves collected at several stages during development, as well as from healthy grape leaves and leaves infected by pathogenic microorganisms, was the main objective of this study. The protoco…
