Kristiina-kokoelma

Kristiina-instituutti, Helsingin yliopiston Humanistisen tiedekunnan naistutkimuksen yksikkö perustettiin vuonna 1991. Nykyisin oppiaine tunnetaan nimellä sukupuolentutkimus ja siinä on mahdollista suorittaa filosofian maisterin tutkinto sekä jatko-opinnot. Kristiina-instituutin kirjakokoelmaa ryhdyttiin kartuttamaan systemaattisesti 1990-luvun alussa. Instituutin kirjastotyöryhmä pyrki ja pyrkii edelleen hankkimaan kokoelmaan varsinkin sukupuolentutkimuksen klassikot sekä kaiken Suomessa julkaistun alan kirjallisuuden. Tutkimusalan tieteidenvälisyys näkyy kokoelman monipuolisuudessa: teoksia on mm. psykologian, filosofian, politiikantutkimuksen, valtio-opin, sosiologian, sosiaalityön, kirjallisuudentutkimuksen ja kielentutkimuksen aloilta. Poikkitieteellisyyttä edustavat mm. kokoelmaan kuuluvat muiden tieteenalojen opinnäytetyöt, joiden sisältö käsittelee tai sivuaa sukupuolentutkimusta. Pääkokoelma sijaitsee Helsingin yliopiston Humanistisen tiedekunnan Topelia-kirjastossa. Kokoelmaa kartutetaan jatkuvasti, varsinkin pohjoismaista ja eurooppalaista kirjallisuutta painottaen. Kielijakaumaa pyritään laajentamaan Euroopan valtakieliin. Kokoelman laajuus 14.7.2009: 4528 lainattavaa nimekettä, joista 165 kuuluu sarjajulkaisuihin. Kurssikirjoja on 293, ne ovat osin ei-lainattavaa aineistoa, osin lyhytlainoja. Ei-lainattavia hakuteoksia on 63 ja (muiden alojen) opinnäytetöitä 118. Lehtiä on 76 nimekettä, osittain vajaita vuosikertoja. Lehtiä ei saa kotilainaan. Joidenkin lehtien julkaiseminen tai tilaus/lahjaksi saaminen on päättynyt. Kymmentä ulkomaista lehteä julkaistaan myös verkkojulkaisuna. Edelleen saatavia ulkomaisia lehtiä on 29 ja kotimaisia kolme (Naistutkimus; Tasa-arvo; Tulva). Vuoteen 2006 asti instituutti hankki lehdet omilla määrärahoillaan tai lahjoituksin, tämän jälkeen kirjasto on hankkinut ostolehdet kirjaston hankintamäärärahoista. Lehdistä 19 saadaan ostoina, loput lahjoina. Jos lehti tulee kirjaston kokoelmaan laitoksen lahjoituksena, voivat sen uusimmat numerot olla vielä Kristiina-instituutissa. Sukupuolentutkimuksen kirjallisuutta löytyy myös Humanistisen tiedekunnan taidehistorian osastosta (315 nimekettä), Pohjois-Amerikan tutkimuksen kokoelmasta (65 nimekettä) ja historian osastosta (155 nimekettä). Nämä yhdistynevät Kristiina-kokoelmaan uuden keskustakampuksen kirjastorakennuksen myötä noin vuonna 2012.

Asplund versus Lewerentz

La tesis Asplund versus Lewerentz analiza, por el método comparado, los invariantes, las convergencias y las divergencias entre las obras de los arquitectos suecos Erik Gunnar Asplund y Sigurd Lewerentz. Autores del Cementerio del Bosque de Estocolmo, que desarrollaron en colaboración durante más de veinte años, supone una de las obras maestras de la arquitectura escandinava, y uno de los ejemplos de referencia para entender la cultura arquitectónica nórdica moderna en relación a su tradición. Del estudio contrastado de los distintos proyectos y versiones del cementerio, ejecutados conjuntamente o por separado, se obtienen los valores compartidos entre ambos arquitectos, así como sus afinidades o diferencias respecto a un mismo tema. Estos aspectos, extrapolados al resto de sus trabajos, permiten entender sus actuaciones según las referencias e influencias mutuas, y la definición de las variables que configuran sus respectivos espacios arquitectónicos. La investigación se ha estructurado en ocho capítulos: La Escuela Klara, que trata la relación de Asplund y Lewerentz en su época de estudiantes, así como la influencia de sus maestros respectivos; El Grand Tour, que analiza sus viajes y las miradas de cada uno de ellos en sus visitas a los mismos lugares; Los Estudios, que profundiza en sus caracteres, reflejados a través de la comparación de los distintos lugares de trabajo; Las Tumbas, donde se concretan a pequeña escala los temas desarrollados ampliamente en el Cementerio del Bosque, constituyendo así un laboratorio de ideas; La Exposición de Estocolmo de 1930, que vuelve a aclarar las posturas divergentes de ambos, en este caso, en relación a un tema lúdico, y que supuso un giro de su arquitectura y, con ello, un importante apoyo a los cambios sociales del momento; Los Concursos, realizados por separado, donde se observan con precisión las afinidades y las diferencias respecto a un mismo planteamiento inicial; Los Accesos del Cementerio del Bosque, que supone un trabajo conjunto con alternancia de decisiones, en el que se perfila con claridad los intereses específicos de ambos; y por último, las Capillas del Cementerio del Bosque, especialmente la Capilla del Bosque y de la Resurrección, que concretan, en los dos lugares más íntimos del cementerio, las ideas y personalidades opuestas de Asplund y Lewerentz en relación al tema común de la muerte. Las conclusiones de este estudio comparado y centrado en varios temas, determinan una confluencia de intereses en la conexión de sus obras con la topografía como medio de contextualización, en las acciones sobre la vegetación como un aspecto fundamental y no sólo como un acompañamiento a la arquitectura, y en la manipulación de la luz como hecho diferencial del carácter de los distintos espacios. Se reúnen así en esta tesis unas constantes del trabajo de Asplund y Lewerentz, que planteadas muchas veces de forma distinta, apuntan directamente a los sentimientos del Hombre en el momento de la muerte y ante una despedida en relación a la Arquitectura. ABSTRACT The thesis Asplund versus Lewerentz analyses, by means of comparative methodology, the constants, the convergences and the divergences between the works of the Swedish architects Erik Gunnar Asplund and Sigurd Lewerentz. They are the authors of Stockholm’s Woodland Cemetery, which they developed in collaboration over a period of more than twenty years, one of the masterpieces of Swedish architecture and one of the key examples in terms of understanding modern Nordic architectural culture in relation to its tradition. From the contrasted study of the various projects and versions of the cemetery, executed jointly or separately, one obtains the values shared by both architects as well as their affinities or differences with respect to one and the same theme. These aspects, extrapolated from the rest of their works, permit an understanding of their actions according to mutual references and influences, and the definition of the variables that shape their respective architectural spaces. The research is divided into eight chapters: The Klara School, dealing with Asplund and Lewerentz’s relationship during their student days, as well as the influence of their respective teachers; The Grand Tour, which analyses their travels and the viewpoints of each of them on their visits to the same places; The Studies, looks closely at their personalities, reflected by a comparison of their different workplaces; The Tombs, where the themes extensively developed in the Woodland Cemetery are set out on a small scale, thus constituting one of their laboratories of ideas; The Stockholm exhibition of 1930, which again clarifies the diverging postures of the two, in this case, in relation to a recreational topic which represented a turnabout in their architecture and, moreover an important support for the social changes of the age; The Competitions, which they carried out separately, where one closely observes affinities and differences with respect to an initial approach; The Accesses to the Woodland Cemetery, which represents a joint work with alternating decision-making, in which the interests of both are clearly outlined; and finally, the Chapels of the Woodland Cemetery, especially the Woodland Chapel and the Chapel of the Resurrection, which, in the two most intimate spots in the cemetery, embody the opposing ideas and personalities of Asplund and Lewerentz in relation to the common theme of death. The conclusions of this comparative study centred on various topics, determine a confluence of interests in the connection of their works with the topography as a means of contextualization, in actions relating to vegetation as a fundamental aspect and not just an accompaniment to architecture, and in the manipulation of light as a differential factor in the character of the different spaces. Thus this thesis brings together some of the constants of the work of Asplund and Lewerentz which, frequently dealt with in a different manner, point directly to Man’s feelings at the point of death and in the face of a farewell in relation to Architecture.

Chemical similarities between Galactic bulge and local thick disk red giant stars

Context. The evolution of the Milky Way bulge and its relationship with the other Galactic populations is still poorly understood. The bulge has been suggested to be either a merger-driven classical bulge or the product of a dynamical instability of the inner disk. Aims. To probe the star formation history, the initial mass function and stellar nucleosynthesis of the bulge, we performed an elemental abundance analysis of bulge red giant stars. We also completed an identical study of local thin disk, thick disk and halo giants to establish the chemical differences and similarities between the various populations. Methods. High-resolution infrared spectra of 19 bulge giants and 49 comparison giants in the solar neighborhood were acquired with Gemini/Phoenix. All stars have similar stellar parameters but cover a broad range in metallicity. A standard 1D local thermodynamic equilibrium analysis yielded the abundances of C, N, O and Fe. A homogeneous and differential analysis of the bulge, halo, thin disk and thick disk stars ensured that systematic errors were minimized. Results. We confirm the well-established differences for [O/Fe] (at a given metallicity) between the local thin and thick disks. For the elements investigated, we find no chemical distinction between the bulge and the local thick disk, which is in contrast to previous studies relying on literature values for disk dwarf stars in the solar neighborhood. Conclusions. Our findings suggest that the bulge and local thick disk experienced similar, but not necessarily shared, chemical evolution histories. We argue that their formation timescales, star formation rates and initial mass functions were similar.

New constraints on the chemical evolution of the solar neighbourhood and Galactic disc(s) Improved astrophysical parameters for the Geneva-Copenhagen Survey

We present a re-analysis of the Geneva-Copenhagen survey, which benefits from the infrared flux method to improve the accuracy of the derived stellar effective temperatures and uses the latter to build a consistent and improved metallicity scale. Metallicities are calibrated on high-resolution spectroscopy and checked against four open clusters and a moving group, showing excellent consistency. The new temperature and metallicity scales provide a better match to theoretical isochrones, which are used for a Bayesian analysis of stellar ages. With respect to previous analyses, our stars are on average 100 K hotter and 0.1 dex more metal rich, which shift the peak of the metallicity distribution function around the solar value. From Stromgren photometry we are able to derive for the first time a proxy for [alpha/Fe] abundances, which enables us to perform a tentative dissection of the chemical thin and thick disc. We find evidence for the latter being composed of an old, mildly but systematically alpha-enhanced population that extends to super solar metallicities, in agreement with spectroscopic studies. Our revision offers the largest existing kinematically unbiased sample of the solar neighbourhood that contains full information on kinematics, metallicities, and ages and thus provides better constraints on the physical processes relevant in the build-up of the Milky Way disc, enabling a better understanding of the Sun in a Galactic context.

Chemical evolution of the Galactic bulge as traced by microlensed dwarf and subgiant stars IV. Two bulge populations

Based on high-resolution (R approximate to 42 000 to 48 000) and high signal-to-noise (S/N approximate to 50 to 150) spectra obtained with UVES/VLT, we present detailed elemental abundances (O, Na, Mg, Al, Si, Ca, Ti, Cr, Fe, Ni, Zn, Y, and Ba) and stellar ages for 12 new microlensed dwarf and subgiant stars in the Galactic bulge. Including previous microlensing events, the sample of homogeneously analysed bulge dwarfs has now grown to 26. The analysis is based on equivalent width measurements and standard 1-D LTE MARCS model stellar atmospheres. We also present NLTE Li abundances based on line synthesis of the (7)Li line at 670.8 nm. The results from the 26 microlensed dwarf and subgiant stars show that the bulge metallicity distribution (MDF) is double-peaked; one peak at [Fe/H] approximate to -0.6 and one at [Fe/H] approximate to +0.3, and with a dearth of stars around solar metallicity. This is in contrast to the MDF derived from red giants in Baade's window, which peaks at this exact value. A simple significance test shows that it is extremely unlikely to have such a gap in the microlensed dwarf star MDF if the dwarf stars are drawn from the giant star MDF. To resolve this issue we discuss several possibilities, but we can not settle on a conclusive solution for the observed differences. We further find that the metal-poor bulge dwarf stars are predominantly old with ages greater than 10 Gyr, while the metal-rich bulge dwarf stars show a wide range of ages. The metal-poor bulge sample is very similar to the Galactic thick disk in terms of average metallicity, elemental abundance trends, and stellar ages. Speculatively, the metal-rich bulge population might be the manifestation of the inner thin disk. If so, the two bulge populations could support the recent findings, based on kinematics, that there are no signatures of a classical bulge and that the Milky Way is a pure-disk galaxy. Also, recent claims of a flat IMF in the bulge based on the MDF of giant stars may have to be revised based on the MDF and abundance trends probed by our microlensed dwarf stars.

The radius and mass of the close solar twin 18 Scorpii derived from asteroseismology and interferometry

The growing interest in solar twins is motivated by the possibility of comparing them directly to the Sun. To carry on this kind of analysis, we need to know their physical characteristics with precision. Our first objective is to use asteroseismology and interferometry on the brightest of them: 18 Sco. We observed the star during 12 nights with HARPS for seismology and used the PAVO beam-combiner at CHARA for interferometry. An average large frequency separation 134.4+/-0.3 mu Hz and angular and linear radiuses of 0.6759 +/- 0.0062 mas and 1.010 +/- 0.009 R(circle dot) were estimated. We used these values to derive the mass of the star, 1.02 +/- 0.03 M(circle dot).
