Mayaro viiruse TRVL ja BeAr tüvede võrdlusuuring
No full textMayaro virus (MAYV) is an arthritogenic alphavirus and the causative agent of Mayaro fever,
which is characterized by myalgia, arthralgia, high fever, and maculopapular rash. Currently,
the distribution of MAYV is limited to Central and South America, where it causes sporadic
outbreaks. However, in recent years, there have been concerns about its potential emergence
into urban transmission cycles. Phylogenetically, MAYV is divided into three distinct
genotypes: D, L, and N. In this study, we investigate two MAYV strains: TRVL (genotype D)
and BeAr (genotype L). To compare the replication and transcription efficiencies between the
two strains, we implement a trans-replication system, in which the expression of alphavirus
replicase and RNA replication are uncoupled. Our study indicates that the replicase of the
TRVL strain is more active in human cells, whereas the replicase of the BeAr strain is more
active in mosquito cells. The differences in replicase activity between the strains are driven by
determinants located both within the replicase itself and within conserved sequence elements.
Lastly, our experiments demonstrate that TRVL and BeAr strains are capable of co-infection

Chinese international students and university museums : engagement and learning at the Hunterian, University of Glasgow
Get PDFThis study examines how Chinese postgraduate students engage with the Hunterian Museum at the University of Glasgow. Using semi-structured interviews with 14 participants, the research explores how informal museum experiences relate to intercultural adaptation, identity, and learning. Guided by theories of third space, adaptation, and informal learning, the study reveals a complex interplay of motivation, emotion, and social context, alongside
institutional and cultural barriers. While the Hunterian offers potential as an inclusive space, gaps remain in practice. The findings inform discussions on university museums, student inclusion, and heritage education.https://www.ester.ee/record=b6019702*es
Navigating heritage in transition : educating for the preservation of transforming female shamanism in Gilgit-Baltistan amidst Islamisation and modernity
Get PDFThis research explores the transformation and resilience of one of the intangible cultural heritages of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan: female shamanism. Drawing on interviews with shamans from the Hunza and Nagar valleys, this study examines how Islamisation, modernity and patriarchal structures have reshaped ritual authority in the contemporary context. Using thematic analysis and a multi-theoretical lens, it shows how female shamans strategically adapt their practices to survive. While often marginalised, female bitayu continue to demonstrate resilience and agency, reframing rituals and resisting erasure. The study calls for gender-inclusive, culturally grounded approaches to safeguarding indigenous spiritual traditions.https://www.ester.ee/record=b6019686*es
Education, engagement and decolonisation in museums : the case of the Nosso Sagrado collection
Get PDFThis research examines the educational and transformative potential of the Nosso Sagrado collection, an important example of Afro-Brazilian heritage at the Museu da República, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Guided by an interpretivist paradigm, it employs a qualitative case study with semi-structured interviews, fieldwork, and a literature and theoretical framework review. Reflexive thematic analysis explored the collection’s role in cultural accessibility, education, and the decolonisation of museum practices. Findings reveal its symbolic and political significance for Afro-Brazilian communities, persistent challenges, and the need for inclusive, community-led strategies. The study positions contested heritage as a catalyst for dialogue, reflection, and social change.https://www.ester.ee/record=b6019661*es
Representation and discourses of otherness : coca leaf and mambear in the Museum of America : (de)colonial thought and indigenous perspectives
Get PDFThis dissertation investigates how the Museum of America in Madrid represents the Indigenous practice of mambear, often reducing it to stereotypes of drug use and exoticism rooted in colonial narratives. Such portrayals obscure its cultural, spiritual, and social meanings, reinforcing the marginalisation of Indigenous voices. The study pursues two aims: to critically analyse the museum’s discursive construction of mambear, and to explore alternative frameworks that support decolonial understandings of the practice. Grounded in postcolonial and decolonial theory and museum studies, it calls for more inclusive and critical representations that challenge the colonial legacies embedded in institutional discourse.https://www.ester.ee/record=b6019676*es
The release procedure of the deportees from the Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian SSR, 1945–1989
Get PDF1941., 1945.–1952. a Balti liiduvabariikides läbi viidud väljasaatmisoperatsioonide käigus represseeriti ligikaudu 202 148 inimest: Eesti NSV-s 28 439, Läti NSV-s 53 361 ja Leedu NSV-s 120 348. Perioodil 1945–1954 tähendas vabastamiskord väljasaatmisotsuste tühistamist ja puudutas „kulakuid“ ning pärast 1947. a väljasaadetuid. Erandid olid haruldased (nt 1941. a välja saadetud lapsed). Alates 1954. a tähendas vabastamiskord peamiselt vabastamist väljasaatmisotsuseid tühistamata. See üleliidulisel tasandil algatatud protsess viis kõigi Balti liiduvabariikidest väljasaadetute järkjärgulise vabastamiseni 1965. aastaks. Vabastamiskord liiduvabariikide tasandil järgis üleliidulisel tasandil seatud kurssi, keskendudes nii väljasaatmisotsuste tühistamisele kui ka vabastamisele väljasaatmisotsuseid tühistamata. Alates 1965. a kuni 1980. aastate lõpuni tegelesid Balti liiduvabariigid nende represseeritute väljasaatmisotsuste tühistamisega, kes olid varem vabastatud ilma väljasaatmisotsuste tühistamiseta. Selline vabastamiskord sarnanes varasema 1930. aastate esimesel poolel välja saadetud „kulakute“ vabastamiskorraga, mis tähendas, et väljasaatmisoperatsioonide käigus represseeritute vabastamiskord oli loodud juba Stalini valitsemisajal. 1988. a hakkasid Balti liiduvabariigid seni kehtinud korrale vastu astuma. Ehkki „kulakute“ väljasaatmisotsused tunnistas esimesena kehtetuks Eesti NSV, ometi kõige kiiremini kõigi väljasaatmisotsuste tühistamiseni jõudis Leedu NSV. Läti NSV-s jõudis vastav protsess lõpule alles suvel 1989.The deportation operations in the Baltic Soviet Socialist Republics conducted in 1941, as well as in 1944–1952 resulted in the repression of app. 202 148 individuals: 28 439 from the Estonian SSR, 53 361 from the Latvian SSR, and 120 348 from the Lithuanian SSR. In 1945–1954, the release procedure meant repeal of deportation decisions and dealt with the “kulaks“, and post-1947 deportees. Exceptions were rare (e.g. the children deported in 1941). From 1954 onward, the release procedure predominantly meant release without repealing deportation decisions. This policy, initiated on the Union level, led to the gradual release of all the Baltic deportees by 1965. The republic-level procedure followed the course set on the Union level focusing both on repealing deportation decisions as well as release with no repeal of such decisions. From 1965 until the late 1980s, the Baltic SSRs focused on repeal of deportation decisions of the deportees previously released with no repeal of their deportation decisions. This release procedure significantly resembled the earlier release procedure of the “kulaks“ deported in the first half of 1930s. That meant that a release procedure as such was embedded in the Soviet deportation policy already during Stalin’s rule. In 1988, the Baltic SSRs began to challenge the existing order. The Estonian SSR was the first one to repeal the deportation decisions of the “kulaks“, the Lithuanian SSR eventually became the first one to repeal all the deportation decisions. The Latvian SSR finalized that process only in summer 1989.https://www.ester.ee/record=b601940
