Häälehtien nais- ja mieskuva
2011
Pro gradu -tutkielma käsittelee häälehtien nais- ja mieskuvaa. Tarkastelun kohteena on kaksi suomalaista häälehteä, Häät ja Mennään naimisiin, joiden sana-aineiston perusteella kartoitetaan sitä, miten naisista ja miehistä lehdissä puhutaan. Ensisijaisen mielenkiinnon kohteena ovat naisiin ja miehiin viittaavat nimitykset sekä heitä kuvailevat adjektiivit ja partisiipit. Tutkimusta taustoittavat erilaiset kriittisen tekstintutkimuksen teoriat, jotka toisaalta ohjaavat kiinnittämään huomiota tekstin sananvalintoihin, toisaalta käsittelemään sanoja osana niiden laajempia käyttöyhteyksiä, konteksteja. Odotuksenmukaisesti häälehdistä piirtyy kuva varsin morsiankeskeisenä mediana. Tähän vaikutta…
On the aestheticization of technologized bodies : a portrait of a cyborg(ed) form of agency
2017
Discussions revolving around cyborgs seldom include aesthetics, let alone propose aesthetics as an inextricable part of the phenomenon of the cyborg. Rather, the term “cyborg”, a contraction of “cybernetic organism”, evokes a figure of the (hu)man- machine. In the field of social and political sciences, the cyborg is designated a human-machine hybrid, a metaphor of humans becoming machinelike, or a portrait of (political) agency in an era of high technology. These approaches promote a figure of technologized bodies, that is, the cyborg as a figure of technologically dominated and altered bodies. I will sustain that the cyborg contributes to our understanding of agency in the age of high tec…
Messenger RNA of the large subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase from Chlamydomonas reinhardi. Isolation and properties.
1979
Polysomes specifically synthesizing the large subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase were isolated from Chlamydomonas reinhardi cells by the indirect immunoprecipitation method. Electrophoretic analysis showed that the immunoprecipitated polysomes were of chloroplast origin. The mRNA coding for the large subunit which was purified from immunoprecipitated polysomes migrated at the 19-S position on sucrose density gradients, and its molecular weight was estimated to be 7.3 x 10(5) by acid-urea/agarose gel electrophoresis. The mRNA was translated in vivo with a cell-free protein-synthesizing system derived from Escherichia coli to give full-length large-subunit polypeptides.
A New Nuclear Function of the Entamoeba histolytica Glycolytic Enzyme Enolase: The Metabolic Regulation of Cytosine-5 Methyltransferase 2 (Dnmt2) Act…
2009
Cytosine-5 methyltransferases of the Dnmt2 family function as DNA and tRNA methyltransferases. Insight into the role and biological significance of Dnmt2 is greatly hampered by a lack of knowledge about its protein interactions. In this report, we address the subject of protein interaction by identifying enolase through a yeast two-hybrid screen as a Dnmt2-binding protein. Enolase, which is known to catalyze the conversion of 2-phosphoglycerate (2-PG) to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), was shown to have both a cytoplasmatic and a nuclear localization in the parasite Entamoeba histolytica. We discovered that enolase acts as a Dnmt2 inhibitor. This unexpected inhibitory activity was antagonized by…
"Nobody could sleep with this infernal business on!" : translations of verbal humour in Floyd Gottfredson's Mickey Mouse
2016
Tämä tutkielma käsittelee verbaalisen huumorin kääntämistä sarjakuvissa ja sen aiheuttamia haasteita kääntäjille. Tutkielma keskittyy Mikki Hiiri -sanomalehtisarjakuviin, joiden alkuperäisiä, englanninkielisiä versioita ja suomenkielisiä käännöksiä vertasin. Tavoitteena oli selvittää, mitkä aineistossa esiintyvät verbaalisen huumorin muodot ovat erityisen haastavia mahdollisimman tarkan ja lähdetekstille uskollisen kääntämisen näkökulmasta, ja millaisia käännöstekniikoita suomalaiset kääntäjät näissä tilanteissa käyttivät. Laajemmassa kontekstissa tutkielman tavoitteena oli osaltaan valaista aihetta, jota on tutkittu varsin vähän sarjakuvantutkimuksen alalla. Tutkimusaineistona toimi viisi …
Although rare, severe complications following intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guerin treatment should not be overlooked!

An interesting series of 22 patients affected by severe systemic toxicity following bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) intravesical adjuvant therapy for bladder cancer is presented in this issue of Inf...

Mitochondrial inheritance and fermentative : oxidative balance in hybrids between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces uvarum.
2008
Breeding between Saccharomyces species is a useful tool for obtaining improved wine yeast strains, combining fermentative features of parental species. In this work, 25 artificial Saccharomyces cerevisiae × Saccharomyces uvarum hybrids were constructed by spore conjugation. A multi-locus PCR‐restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR‐RFLP) analysis, targeting six nuclear gene markers and the ribosomal region including the 5.8S rRNA gene and the two internal transcribed spacers, showed that the hybrid genome is the result of two chromosome sets, one coming from S. cerevisiae and the other from S. uvarum. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) typing showed uniparental inheritance in all hybrids. Furth…
Photoreactivity of Furocoumarins and DNA in PUVA Therapy: Formation of Psoralen−Thymine Adducts
2008
The mechanism of the [2 + 2] cycloaddition photoreaction of psoralen and a DNA nucleobase, thymine, cornerstone of the furocoumarin-based PUVA (psoralen + UVA radiation) phototherapy, has been studied by the quantum-chemical multiconfigurational CASPT2 method. Triplet- and singlet-mediated mono- and diadduct formations have been determined to take place via singlet-triplet crossings and conical intersections, correlated with the initially promoted triplet or singlet states in different possible reactive orientations. Pyroneside monoadducts are suggested to be formed in the triplet manifold of the system, and to be less prone to yield diadducts because of the properties of the monoadduct low…
The structure of Yersinia pestis Caf1 polymer in free and adjuvant bound states
2010
Caf1 of the plague bacterium, Yersinia pestis is a polymeric virulence factor and vaccine component, formed from monomers by a donor strand exchange (DSE) mechanism. Here, EM images of Caf1 reveal flexible polymers up to 1.5 microm long (4MDa). The bead-like structures along the polymer are 5.8 + or - 1 nm long and correspond to single Caf1 proteins. Short polymers often form circles, presumably by DSE. We also provide the first images of proteins bound to alhydrogel adjuvant. Caf1, hemocyanin and anthrax PA are all resolved clearly and Caf1 exhibits adjuvant bound stretches with long intervening loops draped from the edges.
