Abstract Lipid derived signals mediate many stress and defense responses in multicellular eukaryotes. Among these are the jasmonates, potently active signaling compounds in plants. Jasmonic acid (JA) and 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (OPDA) are the two best known members of the large jasmonate family. This thesis further investigates their roles as signals using genomic and proteomic approaches. The study is based on a simple genetic model involving two key genes. The first is ALLENE OXIDE SYNTHASE (AOS), encoding the most important enzyme in generating jasmonates. The second is CORONATINE INSENSITIVE 1 (COI1), a gene involved in all currently documented canonical signaling responses. We asked the simple question: do null mutations in AOS and COI1 have analogous effects on the transcriptome ? We found that they do not. If most COI1-dependent genes were also AOS-dependent, the expression of a zinc-finger protein was AOS-dependent but was unaffected by the coi1-1 mutation. We thus supposed that a jasmonate member, most probably OPDA, can alter gene expression partially independently of COI1. Conversely, the expression of at least three genes, one of these is a protein kinase, was shown to be COI1-dependent but did not require a functional AOS protein. We conclude that a non-jasmonate signal might alter gene expression through COIL Proteomic comparison of coi1-1 and aos plants confirmed these observations and highlighted probable protein degradation processes controlled by jasmonates and COI1 in the wounded leaf. This thesis revealed new functions for COI1 and for AOS-generated oxylipins in the jasmonate signaling pathway. Résumé Les signaux dérivés d'acides gras sont des médiateurs de réponses aux stress et de la défense des eucaryotes multicellulaires. Parmi eux, les jasmonates sont de puissants composés de sig¬nalisation chez les plantes. L'acide jasmonique (JA) et l'acide 12-oxo-phytodienoïc (OPDA) sont les deux membres les mieux caractérisés de la grande famille des jasmonates. Cette thèse étudie plus profondément leurs rôles de signalisation en utilisant des approches génomique et protéomique. Cette étude est basée sur un modèle génétique simple n'impliquant que deux gènes. Le premier est PALLENE OXYDE SYNTHASE (AOS) qui encode l'enzyme la plus importante pour la fabrication des jasmonates. Le deuxième est CORONATINE INSENSITIVE 1 (COI1) qui est impliqué dans la totalité des réponses aux jasmonates connues à ce jour. Nous avons posé la question suivante : est-ce que les mutations nulles dans les gènes AOS et COI1 ont des effets analogues sur le transcriptome ? Nous avons trouvé que ce n'était pas le cas. Si la majorité des gènes dépendants de COI1 sont également dépendants d'AOS, l'expression d'un gène codant pour une protéine formée de doigts de zinc n'est pas affectée par la mutation de COI1 tout en étant dépendante d'AOS. Nous avons donc supposé qu'un membre de la famille des jasmonates, probablement OPDA, pouvait modifier l'expression de certains gènes indépendamment de COI1. Inversement, nous avons montré que, tout en étant dépendante de COI1, l'expression d'au moins trois gènes, dont un codant pour une protéine kinase, n'était pas affectée par l'absence d'une protéine AOS fonctionnelle. Nous en avons conclu qu'un signal autre qu'un jasmonate devait modifier l'expression de certains gènes à travers COI1. La comparaison par protéomique de plantes aos et coi1-1 a confirmé ces observations et a mis en évidence un probable processus de dégradation de protéines contrôlé par les jasmonates et COU_ Cette thèse a mis en avant de nouvelles fonctions pour COI1 et pour des oxylipines générées par AOS dans le cadre de la signalisation par les jasmonates.

O interesse pela cultura do melão no Brasil tem aumentado muito nos últimos anos, pelas crescentes exportações e pelo incremento no consumo do mercado interno. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar as características físicas e químicas, assim como a atividade da pectinametilesterase dos frutos de tipos de melão (Cucumis melo L.), produzidos em ambiente protegido, no município de Centenário do Sul-PR. Os tipos estudados foram: Valenciano ('Amarelo-Ouro'), Caipira ('Gaúcho Caipira'), Net Melon ('Net Galia'), Orange ('Orange Melon') e Pele-de-Sapo ('Filipo'), com cinco repetições, utilizando seis frutos por repetição em delineamento inteiramente casualizado. Os frutos do Valenciano e Pele-de-Sapo destacaram-se quanto à massa, com valores 2,02 e 2,07 kg, respectivamente, e formatos alongados, enquanto os demais tipos apresentaram formatos arredondados e massa em torno de 1,4 kg. Os melões Pele-de-Sapo apresentaram espessura da polpa de 43,36 mm, estatisticamente superior à dos frutos Valenciano, com 38,98 mm. A menor espessura de polpa, 24,78 cm, e a maior espessura de casca, 9,74 mm, foram encontradas nos frutos do tipo Caipira que diferiu estatisticamente dos outros tipos. Os valores de pH não se apresentaram estatisticamente diferentes e variaram de 6,24 a 6,48. O Net Melon apresentou polpa com 12,3ºBrix e diferiu estatisticamente do Orange, Valenciano e Pele-de-Sapo, com 11;12; 10,34 e 9,94 ºBrix, respectivamente. O Caipira atingiu 5,06ºBrix, e também o menor conteúdo de acidez, 0,10 g de ac. cítrico.100-1 g de suco, o que inviabiliza sua comercialização. A atividade da pectinametilesterase na polpa dos frutos foi muito baixa, inferior a 0,005 PEu x 10(4) mL-1, nos cinco tipos avaliados. Na região norte do Paraná (Vale do Paranapanema), sob condições de cultivo protegido, os melões Pele-de-Sapo, Net Melon, Orange e Valenciano apresentaram boas características físicas e químicas dos frutos, destacando-se o Net Melon pelo teor de sólidos solúveis totais, acima de 12ºBrix.

The purpose of this study was to examine the current situation in substance abuse treatment units in Finland in taking non-Finnish speaking clients into consideration. The initiative for this research came from the Development of Alcohol and Drugs Intervention group at Stakes (National Research and Development Centre for Welfare and Health). Their aim was to gather information about the functioning and relevance of the quality assessment forms based on the quality recommendations for substance abuse work, filled in by substance abuse treatment units. The ethnic issue was chosen as the main approach in the study. The aim of this research was to answer the following questions: what is the readiness and competence in substance abuse treatment units in Finland to receive and encounter non-Finnish speaking clients, how is the quality of these services assessed and/or developed in the units, and what has been the role and functioning of the quality recommendations and quality assessment forms in working with non-Finnish speaking clients. The research methods used in the study were both quantitative and qualitative. The information concerning language services provided in the units was gathered from the quality assessment forms and basic information forms found in the database maintained by Stakes. The total amount of units found in the database was 267. In addition to that, semi-structured theme-interviews were carried out in four substance abuse treatment units in order to get a more deep understanding of how the services function in practice. The few number of non-Finnish speaking clients in the units may explain to a certain degree the results of the research. The results however showed that there is still space for improving the services. In the light of quality recommendations, the degree of language options provided in substance abuse treatment units in Finland today is low. Also the quantity of interpreter services provided in the units is scarce. There could also be unified guidelines specially tailored for substance abuse treatment units on how to work with ethnic minorities, as the knowledge is currently adopted from several different instances. The quality recommendations as well as quality assessment forms were valued and applied in the units appropriately and were also perceived to have an effect on the functioning, and quality, in the units.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: This study aimed at developing and implementing evidence-based patient and family education on oral anticoagulation therapy. BACKGROUND: The number of persons with chronic diseases who live at home is increasing. They have to manage multiple diseases and complex treatments. One such treatment is oral anticoagulation therapy, a high risk variable dose medication. Adherence to oral anticoagulation therapy is jeopardised by limited information about the medications, their risk and complications, the impact of individual daily routine and the limited inclusion of family members in education. Hence, improved and tailored education is essential for patients and families to manage oral anticoagulation therapy at home. DESIGN AND METHODS: A community-based participatory research design combined with the Precede-Proceed model was used including a systematic literature review, posteducation analysis, an online nurse survey, a documentation analysis and patient/family interviews. The study was conducted between April 2010-December 2012 at a department of general internal medicine in a teaching hospital in Switzerland. Participants were the department's nursing and medical professionals including the patients and their families. RESULTS: The evidence-based patient and family education on oral anticoagulation therapy emerged comprising a learning assessment, teaching units, clarification of responsibilities of nurse professionals and documentation guidelines. CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The inclusion of the whole department has contributed to the development and implementation of this evidence-based patient family education on oral anticoagulation therapy, which encompasses local characteristics and patient preferences. This education is now being used throughout the department.
