CoBiToM Project - II: Evolution of contact binary systems close to the orbital period cut-off
<p>Ultra-short orbital period contact binaries (Porb < 0.26 d) host some of the smallest and least massive stars. These systems are faint and rare, and it is believed that they have reached a contact configuration after ... -
Forestry and no net loss principle. The possibilities and need to implement NNL in forest management in Finland
<p>Biodiversity is declining all over the world, although there are numerous conventions, policies, and strategies for tackling the problem. One way to approach the imminent problem is to use the no net loss (NNL) of ... -
Strong gene flow explains lack of mating system variation in the perennial herb, Vincetoxicum hirundinaria, in a fragmented landscape
Fragmented landscapes may have implications for the genetic structure of populations and for the microevolution of plant species. In particular, landscape fragmentation and/or population isolation might affect the evolution ... -
Magnetosheath jet properties and evolution as determined by a global hybrid-Vlasov simulation
We use a global hybrid-Vlasov simulation for the magnetosphere, Vlasiator, to investigate magnetosheath high-speed jets. Unlike many other hybrid-kinetic simulations, Vlasiator includes an unscaled geomagnetic dipole, ... -
Socioeconomic differences in healthy and disease-free life expectancy between ages 50 and 75: a multi-cohort study
There are inequalities in healthy life expectancy between ages 50 and 75 according to occupational position. These results suggest that reducing socioeconomic inequalities would make an important contribution to extending ... -
Toxic elements in blood of red-necked nightjars (Caprimulgus ruficollis) inhabiting differently polluted environments
<p>Toxic metals have been widely reported in avian tissues due to their well-known accumulation capacity and adverse effects. However, rare earth elements (REE) and other minor elements (ME) are becoming a new threat due ... -
Maternal Smoking During Pregnancy and the Risk of Psychiatric Morbidity in Singleton Sibling Pairs
Introduction: Maternal smoking during pregnancy has been associated with an increased risk for psychiatric morbidity. We further studied this with Finnish siblings to control for genetic/familial factors.Methods: From the ... -
Different expression of BRAFV600E, ALK and PD-L1 in melanoma in children and adolescents: a nationwide retrospective study in Finland in 1990-2014
Background Pediatric melanoma may have a different biological background and more favorable prognosis compared with melanoma in adults. The aim of this study was to investigate melanoma in children and adolescents in the ... -
Estimating cell type-specific differential expression using deconvolution
<p>When differentially expressed genes are detected from samples containing different types of cells, only a very coarse overview without any cell type-specific information is obtained. Although several computational methods ... -
Sex-specific associations between maternal pregnancy-specific anxiety and newborn amygdalar volumes-preliminary findings from the FinnBrain Birth Cohort Study
Previous literature links maternal pregnancy-specific anxiety (PSA) with later difficulties in child emotional and social cognition as well as memory, functions closely related to the amygdala and the hippocampus. Some ... -
Workplace bullying and workplace violence as risk factors for cardiovascular disease: a multi-cohort study
<p><strong>Aims</strong> To assess the associations between bullying and violence at work and cardiovascular disease (CVD).</p><p><strong>Methods and results</strong> Participants were 79 201 working men and women, aged ... -
Evolution of the Ultraviolet Upturn at 0.3 < z < 1: Exploring Helium-rich Stellar Populations
We measure the near-UV (rest-frame similar to 2400 angstrom) to optical color for early-type galaxies in 12 clusters at 0.3 < z < 1.0. We show that this is a suitable proxy for the more common far-ultraviolet bandpass used ... -
Emergence of a Bilingual Grammar: Word Order Differences in Monolingual Basque vs. Bilingual Basque-Spanish Predicative Constructions
This article compares the monolingual Basque predicative constructions with bilingual Basque-Spanish predicative constructions. The speech data for the study were collected in the Greater Bilbao area of the Basque Country ... -
Diet-induced obesity in mice overexpressing neuropeptide y in noradrenergic neurons
<p>Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a neurotransmitter associated with feeding and obesity. We have constructed an NPY transgenic mouse model (OE- mouse), where targeted overexpression leads to increased levels of NPY in noradrenergic ... -
Differential Cognitive Functioning and Benefit From Surgery in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting and Carotid Endarterectomy
<p>Background<br></p><p>Stenosing atherosclerosis in both coronary and carotid arteries can adversely affect cognition. Also their surgical treatments, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and carotid endarterectomy ... -
A definition for gamification: anchoring gamification in the service marketing literature
<p>“Gamification” has gained considerable scholarly and practitioner attention; however, the discussion in academia has been largely confined to the human–computer interaction and game studies domains. Since gamification ... -
Estimating the effectiveness of pulmonary rehabilitation for COPD exacerbations: reduction of hospital inpatient days during the following year
Aims: To study the short- and long-term results of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) given in the Helsinki University Heart and Lung Center and to understand the hospital resources used to treat severe COPD exacerbations in ... -
Map Matching by Using Inertial Sensors – Literature Review
University of Turku Technical Reports<p> This literature review aims to clarify what is known about map matching by<br /> using inertial sensors and what are the requirements for map matching, inertial<br /> sensors, placement and possible complementary ... -
Enhanced threat of tick-borne infections within cities? Assessing public health risks due to ticks in urban green spaces in Helsinki, Finland
Most tick-related studies in Europe have been conducted in nonurban areas, but ticks and tick-borne pathogens also occur in urban green spaces. From a public health perspective, risks regarding tick-borne infections should ... -
Retinoblastoma-E2F Transcription Factor Interplay Is Essential for Testicular Development and Male Fertility
<p>The retinoblastoma (RB) protein family members (pRB, p107 and p130) are key regulators of cell cycle progression, but also play crucial roles in apoptosis, and stem cell self-renewal and differentiation. RB proteins ...
