ImmunologyFebruary 2014Novel Approaches in Immunoassays
by Hannu Koistinen, Ulf-Håkan Stenman
In recent decades, immunoassays have become widely used for the sensitive and specific investigation of a variety of different analytes, from proteins to steroids, drugs and microbes. In the five chapters of this book, immunoassay experts first establish the general principles of immunoassay before highlighting new developments, especially in the area of assay technology. The book illustrates the versatility of immunoassays and emphasizes how one type of assay is not suitable for all applications. The authors place the technology in context and explore pros and cons, recognizing that novel assays are still needed for many purposes (e.g., healthcare, forensics, environmental and food analysis).

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2015Same-Sex Sexuality in Later Medieval English Culture
by Tom Linkinen
This volume investigates the state of same-sex relations in later medieval England, drawing on a remarkably rich array of primary sources from the period that include legal documents, artworks, theological treatises, and poetry. Tom Linkinen uses those sources to build a framework of medieval condemnations of same-sex intimacy and desire and then shows how same-sex sexuality reflected“and was inflected by“gender hierarchies, approaches to crime, and the conspicuous silence on the matter in the legal systems of the period.

April 2018Comparative Media Policy, Regulation and Governance in Europe - Chapter 10
Chapter 10: Media and Democracy: A Couple Walking Hand in Hand?
by Trappel, Josef
For functioning well, the media need democracy as much as democracy needs the media. This is the starting point of this analysis of the delicate relation between the news media and democracy which is well defined in constitutional terms both in the European Convention on Human Rights and in national legislation. The relation is best described as social contract – to the benefit of freedom of speech and editorial independence, but also to sound governance of the state and other powerholders in society. Notably, different models of democracy correspond to different roles of the media. In any case, however, media policy is requested to respect media freedom. The Internet, as well as social and networked media require policy answers to challenges such as data protection, content blocking and surveillance. The authors conclude that media policy tools need to be developed along the all-digital media future.

FictionThe Dark Architect
by Marko Hautala
A house is a machine to live in, even after death. An un-putdownable, eerie literary thriller of urban paranoia, where a block of flats appears to be hiding terrible secrets. Secrets that should not be revealed... A young man suffering from MDD, or maladaptive daydreaming, has traveled the world aimlessly for years using his family’s money. Fed up, his father buys him a moderate flat in a small Nordic city and forces him to finish his studies. He wants his son to finally become a man, not a dreamer. But when darkness falls, everything changes. An unexplained humming resonates in the walls, making sleep impossible. Other more mysterious sounds follow. It seems that throughout the night, someone is running up and down the dark stairway. While the culprit appears to be impossible to find, the echo of bare feet on the steps night after night is very real indeed. When the young man starts to look into the history of his flat, strange tragedies seem to have plagued the past and, gradually, also the present of the building. Looking further back in time, the young man finds out that the first person to live in his flat is someone the old residents call the Architect, a mysterious patriarch who designed the whole building according to an ancient pattern as a machine to live in...even after death. The Dark Architect is a literary horror novel which deals with the mistrust between generations, whose dreams and nightmares very seldom seem to meet. It is a fresh Nordic take on the most classic and enduring of Gothic tropes, the haunted house.
