Yhteinen ykseys : esitysanalyysi Robin Hood -oopperasta
Full text linkOpinnäytetyö käsittelee oopperataidetta, sen työtapoja ja prosessia. Työn materiaalina käytän Suomen Kansallisoopperassa tammikuussa 2011 ensi-iltansa saanutta Robin Hood -koko perheen oopperaa. Työ jakaantuu Robin Hood -teoksen tapahtumien yksityiskohtaiseen purkamiseen eli esitysanalyysiin. Tämän lisäksi aineistoni muodostuu oopperasäveltäjä Jukka Linkolan, ohjaaja Kari Heiskasen ja libretisti Jukka Virtasen tekijähaastatteluista. Kirjallinen aineistoni muodostuu oopperan perusteoksista sekä modernin teatterin julkaisuista. Näkemäni Robin Hood -oopperan lisäksi hyödynsin teoksesta tehtyä tallennetta esitysanalyysin laatimisessa.
Tarkastelen työssäni Robin Hood -teosta näkökulmanani Richard Wagnerin yhtenäistaideteoksen ideaali. Rinnastan laatimani esitysanalyysin Wagnerin kokonaistaiteen ideaaliin sekä haastatteluista keräämäni tiedon Robin Hood -prosessista Wagnerin työtapoihin ja yleisemmin oopperataiteen perinteisiin työtapoihin.
Työni tavoitteena on ymmärtää ja kyseenalaistaa oopperataiteen osa-alueita ja niiden ominaislaatuja. Tavoitteeni on myös löytää vaihtoehtoja mielestäni vanhoiksi käyneille työskentelymalleille, kuten perinteiselle kaavalle, jossa libretto syntyy ennen sävellystä, jota ohjaus seuraa. Vaikka työ käsittelee oopperataidetta, se on luettavissa myös muita taidemuotoja ja niiden työtapoja puhuttelevaksi.
Esitysanalyysin ja tekijähaastattelujen perusteella keskeisimmät havaintoni käsittelemästäni aiheesta ovat oopperataiteelle tyypillisestä tekijälähtöisyydestä kumpuava osa-alueiden (libretto, sävellys, ohjaus) erillisyys, sekä työprosessiin sisältyvän vuorovaikutuksen puute ja mahdollisuus.The present Bachelor's Thesis analyzes opera, its methods and process. As a material, I am using Robin Hood family opera, which had a premier in the early 2011 at the Finnish National opera. The work includes a drama analysis of Robin Hood. Also my material consists of interviews concerning the following composers: director Kari Heiskanen, writer Jukka Virtanen and composer Jukka Linkola. As a literary material of the work, chronicles of the opera and modern theatre publications are used. With the live experience of the Robin Hood performance, I used the recording of Robin Hood as a material for the analysis.
I am observing Robin Hood opera from the point of view of an art critique. In addition, drama analyses is compared with Richard Wagner's ideal of total work of art and the acquired information from Robin Hood is compared with Wagner's working methods. Also methods of the traditional procedure of making opera are compared.
A further aim is to increase my understanding and to question opera's sections and attributes. Also possibilities to replace the old habits in the opera process are sought after, which I find old fashioned e.g. the schema where libretto is developing first to be followed by composing and directing. The present Bachelor's Thesis deals with the opera but also comments upon other arts and working methods.
By drama analysis and interviews of the composers my central discoveries of my theme are the separateness of the opera sections followed by the author-based working and the lack and the possibility of the interplay of the working process

EXAMINING GENETIC PROPERTIES AND CELLULAR STRUCTURES OF CLONAL 3D CULTURES CONSTRUCTED FROM PATIENT- DERIVED ORGANOIDS
No full textLung cancer is responsible for one-quarter of cancer-related deaths (Siegel, 2019). Lung cancer contains cellular heterogeneity and various genetic mutations (Chen, 2014). Supplying drug development studies clonal 3D cultures allows testing the efficacy of their drug on the expected target. Identifying different anti-cancer drugs for corresponding cancer mutations is a step towards personalized cancer medicine.Current anti-cancer drug development studies are progressing towards the use of 3D organoid cell line cultures generated from cancer patient tumors for in vitro models. Establishing clonal 3D culture cell lines in vitro from a patient’s tumor will supply drug trials the type of model containing their target without the additional cells- that differ and may interfere with the results of the drug study. This would precede the tested drug being combined with others for personalized cancer medicine for the patient. Lung cancer, similar to other cancer types, may result from more than one cellular mutation and be a heterogeneous collection of cells. Targeting different cell subpopulations of the tumor is a solution to eradicate the entire cancer. This project will identify the benefits presented by using clonal cancer cell lines generated in 3D culture compared to clones grown in 2D culture through establishing lung cancer clonal 3D cultures in optimal conditions, isolating cell populations found in lung cancer, and testing anti-cancer drug efficacy on 2D and 3D cultures
Richardson, Barbauld, and the construction of an early modern fan club
No full textMPhilMuch has been written about the life and long works of the eighteenth century epistolary novelist, Samuel Richardson, but the prospect of his position as the first celebrity novelist – responsible for courting his own fame as well as initiating his own fan club – has largely been ignored. The body of manuscripts housed at the National Art Library in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London provides the modern scholar with evidence of the skeletal beginnings of an early fan club. This thesis aims to show how these manuscripts were turned into a saleable commodity by the publisher and entrepreneur Richard Phillips, while under the guiding hand of another, slightly later, literary celebrity, Anna Laetitia Barbauld. In order to restore Richardson’s reputation amongst a new nineteenth century audience, Barbauld was required to construct her own idea of him as an eighteenth century celebrity author, and in doing so the insecurities of a self-professed, apparently diffident man, are revealed. Barbauld’s capacious, but heavily edited selection of letters is analyzed in this thesis, providing ample evidence that Richardson’s correspondents were more than just eager letter writers. By using Barbauld’s biography of Richardson this thesis aims to show how she manipulates the genre of life writing in her construction of him.
This thesis offers an alternative reading of how the Richardson manuscripts are viewed, redefining them as not simply a collection of letters, but as a collective entity, deliberately selected and archived as evidence of an early modern fan club, and its celebrity managing director

Introduction
No full textLaw is a fundamental component of disarmament. There is a complex web of international treaties, Security Council resolutions and soft law instruments that address the threat posed by weapons, an array of international institutions that work to regulate and eliminate weapons, and a steady stream of disarmament law crises that get aired in the media on a regular basis. Despite all this, in recent decades, the field of disarmament law has received relatively little attention from academics. There is limited discussion or debate about key disarmament law issues, and many issues are not addressed at all in the academic literature
