Sudden Death Associated with Incarcerated Small Bowel due to Mesodiverticular Band
No full textMeckel’s diverticulum is a congenital anomaly present in about 3% of the population and usually asymptomatic. Rarely, a mesodiverticular band extends from the tip of a Meckel’s diverticulum to the mesentery, thought to be due to lack of involution of the left vitelline artery. The presence of this band creates a closed loop through which loops of bowel can become entrapped. Rare case reports have described incarceration of bowel, and sudden death in children. We present such a case, and discuss this entity.Peer reviewe
Matti Aikio - verk og virke
No full textDenne avhandlingen studerer de litterære verkene til den samiske forfatteren Matti Aikio, samt det nedslag hans verk hadde i samtidens Norge. Aikios romaner, artikler, skuespill og billedkunst ble skapt i tidsrommet 1904-29, en periode da Norge som ny selvstendig nasjonalstat hadde begrenset toleranse med sin samiske minoritet. En slik etnisk kultur-forståelse var i samsvar med samtidens rådende sosial-darwinisme, på overgangen fra kolonialisme til imperialisme. I slike omgivelser fremsto Matti Aikio som norsk forfatter med bøker skrevet på norsk – men med et selvvalgt samisk-lydende kunstnernavn. Det er avhandlingens mål å avdekke en mulig notsetningen mellom storsamfunnets forventning om assimilasjon og Aikios diskrete presentasjon av samiske verdier i sitt verk og virke. Det blir diskutert om nettopp valg av virkemidler førte til mistenkeliggjøring fra samtidens samiske talsmenn, men at ettertiden har vist at Aikios insistering på samarbeidslinje ville gi bedre langsiktige resultater for samisk språk og kultur. Samtidig søker analysen å underbygge at Aikio selv fikk en økt forståelse for den samiske kulturens mangfold i løpet av sin karriere – samtidig som taktikken endret seg i forfatterens langsiktige strategi om full likestilling for den samiske minoriteten. Fra å hevde at den ekte samiske kulturen bare fantes i Karasjok, endte han med en mer moderne og inkluderende forståelse av en samisk folkegruppe med et mangfold av språk og kulturuttrykk.This dissertation is a study of the literary works by the Sami author Matti Aikio, and of the impact his work had in Norway in his time. Aikio’s novels, articles, dramas and paintings were produced in the time period 1904−1929, a period when Norway as an independent nation state had limited tolerance for its Sami minority. Such an ethnic cultural understanding corresponded with the prevailing sentiment of social Darwinism of the time, in the transition from colonialism to imperialism. In this context Matti Aikio emerged as a Norwegian author with books written in Norwegian – but under a personally chosen, Sami sounding nom de plume. The objective of the dissertation is to disclose a possible contradiction between greater society’s expectations regarding assimilation and Aikio’s discreet presentation of Sami values in his literary works and professional activity. It has been discussed whether precisely the choice of tools at hand served to undermine his credibility with the Sami spokesmen of the time, but after the fact it has become evident that Aikio’s insistence on a collaborative line would have far better long-term results for the Sami language and culture. The analysis simultaneously seeks to substantiate that Aikio personally acquired a greater understanding of the diversity of the Sami culture in the course of his career – while simultaneously the tactics of the author’s long-term strategy for full equality for the Sami minority changed. From maintaining that the true Sami culture was found only in Karasjok, he ended up with a more modern and inclusive understanding of a Sami ethnic group with a multitude of languages and cultural expressions
The Physics of spectral invariants
No full textTo make full use of the increased possibilities of imaging spectroscopy (compared with the traditional multispectral instruments) for remote sensing of vegetation canopies, physically-based models should be used. The problem of retrieving the large number of model parameters from remotely sensed reflectance data is an ill-posed and underdetermined one. The physically-based spectral invariants approach may, in some cases, seem a lucrative alternative. However, the various formulations presented in literature are sometimes difficult to compare qualitatively or quantitatively. To develop a robust spectral-invariant based algorithm for vegetation remote sensing, empirical, mathematical and physical understanding of the problem has to be reached. We present connections between the photon recollision probability and the largest eigenvalue of the radiative transfer equation. Based on simple mathematical principles, the basic requirements set by the remote sensing process to a successful spectral invariant theory are presented.</p

The Nature of Pentecostal Theology: A Response to Velli-Matti Kärkkäinen and Amos Yong
No full textThe author offers a response to Velli-Matti Kärkkäinen’s essay, ‘Pentecostal Pneumatology of Religions: The Contribution of Pentecostalism to Our Understanding of the Work of God’s Spirit in the World’, which appeared in The Spirit in the World (2009) and often cites the work of Amos Yong. The author, who also draws from their wider writings, argues that while Kärkkäinen and Yong hail from Pentecostal backgrounds, their theological orientation is charismatic rather than Pentecostal; their approach is pneumatological rather than Pentecostal; and their methodology is ecumenical rather than Evangelical. More specifically, the author suggests that Kärkkäinen and Yong’s call for Pentecostals to embrace a more inclusive theology of religions is fraught with perils.</jats:p
Sävellys ja sanoitus: Matti Behm : Hajatelmia erään jousikvarteton toteuttamiseen liittyen
No full textTämä opinnäytetyö on taidetekotyyppinen työ, jonka keskiössä oli kappaleeni Jousikvartetto Böömiläiseen -tyyliin tallentaminen. Minä sävelsin kappaleen ja organisoin tilaisuuden, jossa esittävänä kokoonpanona toimi Jousikvartetti Ruusunen (partituurin mukaisessa järjestyksessä): Tuiki Latvala, Veera Hölsö, Tiina Perkiö ja Jyri Häkkinen ja äänimiehenä Jari-Jukka Nippala.
Kirjallinen osuus pitää sisällään pohdintojani taivaan ja maan väliltä joissa yhdistävänä linkkinä toimii musiikki. Prosessin kuvaus soivasta mielikuvasta, nuotinnusohjelman tiedoston kautta kovalevylle saakka on toinen keskeisistä teemoista. Sävellystyötä kuvaan teknisellä tasolla ja se saattaisi olla ehkä antoisaa luettavaa joillekin kollegoille. Tekstissä korostuu tarinallisuus ja se sisältää paljon henkilöhistoriallista kuvausta.
Työni päämääränä oli toteuttaa jotain mielekästä ja itselleni uutta. Jotain, mitä toivottavasti saisin vastaisuudessa tehdä lisääkin. Uuden aloittaminen on aina haasteellista, mutta itselleni on tärkeää, että uusi aluevaltaus on nyt tehty.The objective of this study was to analyse the process of composing and recording a string quartetto for the first time and from a purely rock music oriented background. The purpose was also to create something meaningful and new from the author ́s point of view. Another aim was to learn to use the musical terms of expression as used in classical music.
The theoretical section consists of the description of the recording process and the related preparations. Another topic covered in the thesis deals with thoughts about the metaphysical origins of life and music. The opinions presented are very subjective. A great deal of data were collected from a variety of books and online resources they were referred to.
The results suggest that there are no complete answers to the questions pondered. In addition, the writing process itself took some time off from the objective of mastering musical terms.
Further research is required to find more connotations and connections between the theories of John Hospers and Erich Fromm. In the future, as a result of an intense writing process, considerably more time needs to be devoted to composing new music.Liite Cd:n säilytyspaikka on Musiikkiakatemian kirjasto
Citizens and Nomads : The Literary Works of Matti Aikio with Emphasis on Bygden på elvenesset
No full textThe Sami author Matti Aikio from Karasjok made his debut in 1904 in Copenhagen with Kong Akab [‘King Akab’]. He was one of the world’s earliest indigenous authors, and presented his first novel to the Norwegian public with I dyreskind [‘In Hide’] in 1906. The last of a total of six novels was Bygden på elvenesset [The Parish on the Riverbank], launched posthumously in 1929. In this article I present a post-colonial reading of this last novel of his. My hypothesis is that he wrote his first Norwegian novel anew, but this time social success amongst the Sami population is dependent upon the conduct of Sami culture. All of his novels reflect upon different strategies at hand for members of an ethnic minority in times of an advancing European industry, economy and culture, heavily influenced by a social-Darwinist political and anthropological cosmology. Being the first registered Sami student of Norway, while writing his novels in Norwegian, Matti Aikio developed skills as a master of mimicry. Having experienced the importance of hybridity, he studies the limits of mimicry in his novels. This is the main project of his literary work, and with tools from post-colonial literary theories, this essay discusses the author’s attitudes to the possibilities of his own ethnic culture’s survival in the future
