COMPLEX GEODESICS, THEIR BOUNDARY REGULARITY, AND A HARDY-LITTLEWOOD-TYPE LEMMA

We begin by giving an example of a smoothly bounded convex domain that has complex geodesics that do not extend continuously up to partial derivative D. This example suggests that continuity at the boundary of the complex geodesics of a convex domain Omega (sic) C-n, n >= 2, is affected by the extent to which partial derivative Omega curves or bends at each boundary point. We provide a sufficient condition to this effect (on C-1-smoothly bounded convex domains), which admits domains having boundary points at which the boundary is infinitely flat. Along the way, we establish a Hardy-Littlewood-type lemma that might be of independent interest.

Vaasan tyttölyseon kirjasto

Vaasan tyttökoulun kirjasto kattaa Vaasan suomalaisen tyttökoulun (1891 – 1951) ja Vaasan tyttölyseon (1951 – 1971) säilyneet kirjakokoelmat, yhteensä noin 1700 nimekettä. Näistä vajaa puolet kuuluu opettajien kirjastoon ja hiukan yli puolet oppilaiden kirjastoon. Opettajien kirjastossa tiedon alueet ovat laajasti edustettuina. Tärkeitä aloja ovat luonnollisesti kouluhallinto ja kasvatus sekä koulun oppiaineet. Eniten kirjoja on historian ja yhteiskuntatieteiden aloilta, mutta myös luonnontieteiden ja humanisten alojen kirjallisuutta on runsaasti. Mukana on lisäksi esimerkiksi 1910-luvun alun väitöskirjoja mm. lääketieteen ja oikeustieteen aloilta. Historiallisesti kiinnostavaa aineistoa ovat mm. 1900-luvun ensimmäisten vuosikymmenien naistenlehdet, joilla tuettiin naisten aktiivista osallistumista yhteiskunnallisiin toimintoihin. Opettajille hankittua kaunokirjallisuutta on noin 50 teosta. Oppilaiden kirjastossa yli puolet aineistosta on kaunokirjallisuutta. Tämä kokoelma tarjoaa kiinnostavan kuvan eri vuosikymmenien tyttökirjoista, erityisesti 1940-1960-luvuilta. Oppikirjoissa vahvimpana alana on suomen kieli ja suomalainen kirjallisuus. Pieni osa oppikirjoista on tarkoitettu nimenomaan tyttökouluille. Toukokuussa 2010 siirrettiin opettajien lainakirjaston ja oppilaskirjaston aineistot Tritoniaan. Aineisto on luetteloitu Tritonian tietokantaan Triaan. Pohjanmaan liitto on tukenut kokoelman luettelointityöt.

Modulus method and radial stretch map in the Heisenberg group

We develop a modulus method for surface families inside a domain in the Heisenberg group and we prove that the stretch map between two Heisenberg spherical rings is a minimiser for the mean distortion among the class of contact quasiconformal maps between these rings which satisfy certain boundary conditions.

Frequency of MELAS main mutation in a phenotype-targeted young ischemic stroke patient population

Mitochondrial diseases, predominantly mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS), may occasionally underlie or coincide with ischemic stroke (IS) in young and middle-aged individuals. We searched for undiagnosed patients with MELAS in a target subpopulation of unselected young IS patients enrolled in the Stroke in Young Fabry Patients study (sifap1). Among the 3291 IS patients aged 18-55 years recruited to the sifap1 study at 47 centers across 14 European countries, we identified potential MELAS patients with the following phenotypic features: (a) diagnosed cardiomyopathy or (b) presence of two of the three following findings: migraine, short stature (≤165 cm for males; ≤155 cm for females), and diabetes. Identified patients' blood samples underwent analysis of the common MELAS mutation, m.3243A>G in the MTTL1 gene of mitochondrial DNA. Clinical and cerebral MRI features of the mutation carriers were reviewed. We analyzed blood samples of 238 patients (177 with cardiomyopathy) leading to identification of four previously unrecognized MELAS main mutation carrier-patients. Their clinical and MRI characteristics were within the expectation for common IS patients except for severe hearing loss in one patient and hyperintensity of the pulvinar thalami on T1-weighted MRI in another one. Genetic testing for the m.3243A>G MELAS mutation in young patients with IS based on phenotypes suggestive of mitochondrial disease identifies previously unrecognized carriers of MELAS main mutation, but does not prove MELAS as the putative cause.

The Influence of Informational and Emotional Advertising Appeals on Advertising Effectiveness – Consumers’ Perspective on the Over-the-Counter Product Advertisements in Finland

Consumers face enormous amounts of promotional messages daily whereas the pharmaceutical companies among other industries spend considerable time and money developing effective advertising strategies. There are multiple possible ways to appeal the target customer in order to increase the effectiveness of the advertisement. In spite of the various possibilities to categorize persuasive communication, the informational and the emotional appeals are the typical approaches. This study assesses the influence of the informational and emotional advertising appeals on the advertising effectiveness in the context of OTCs in Finland. The research method applied in this study is a quantitative survey. The data consists of 461 responses from the target population of 18–80 years old Finnish speaking consumers. The results from the marketing research indicate that the positive correlations of the emotional appeals are much stronger than the positive correlations of the informational appeals relating to the advertising effectiveness. However, on average the Finnish consumers experience the OTC advertisements relying on the informational appeals more effective than the OTC advertisements relying on the emotional appeals. Furthermore, within emotional appeals there is a much greater variety in the experienced advertising effectiveness not providing as stabile and consistent experienced advertising effectiveness compared to the informational appeals. Thus, the OTC advertisement relying more on the emotional appeals are much more risky in terms of advertising effectiveness. There are also differences with the experienced advertising effectiveness between the Finnish consumer groups and the information can be utilised when designing tailored OTC advertisements. The Finnish men consider humorous advertisements more effective than the Finnish women. In addition, the people living outside Uusimaa Region experience higher advertising effectiveness with the advertisements relying more on the informational advertisements compared to the people living in Uusimaa Region. In similar vein, the people with lower education experience higher advertising effectiveness with the advertisements relying more on the informational advertisements compared to the people with high education. Additionally, the older generation perceive an OTC advertisement with a middle-aged celebrity more effective than the younger consumers
