Kvalificētu veselības aprūpes speciālistu migrācija starp Latviju un ārvalstīm: Emigrācijas un reemigrācijas cēloņu analīze

2021

Bakalaura darbs “Kvalificētu veselības aprūpes speciālistu migrācija starp Latviju un ārvalstīm: Emigrācijas un reemigrācijas cēloņu analīze” aplūko migrācijas tendences minētajā cilvēku grupā periodā no 2000. līdz 2020. gadam. Satraukumu izraisošos emigrantu apjomus, kā arī salīdzinoši zemo reemigrantu skaitu ir nepieciešams izlīdzināt, lai migrācijas tendences nosūtītājvalstij nāktu par labu, nevis ietekmētu to negatīvi. Darba mērķis ir noskaidrot un analizēt emigrācijas un reemigrācijas cēloņus veselības aprūpes speciālistu vidū, kuri veido emigrācijas un potenciāli reemigrācijas plūsmu no Latviju uz ārvalstīm un atpakaļ.

Homoseksuālu personu reprezentācija realitātes šovā “Slavenības. Bez filtra”: šova veidotāju vērtējumi un auditorijas vajadzību apmierinājums

2021

Bakalaura darba “Homoseksuālu personu reprezentācija realitātes šovā “Slavenības. Bez filtra”: šova veidotāju vērtējumi un auditorijas vajadzību apmierinājums” mērķis ir — izpētīt, kāds ir šova veidotāju vērtējums un kāds ir auditorijas viedoklis par homoseksuālu personu dzīvi un reprezentāciju sabiedrības vidū. Mūsdienās viendzimuma attiecības kļūst aizvien populārākas un pieņemamas sabiedrībā, bet kādai cilvēku daļai tā nav norma, tāpēc arī šobrīd homoseksuālas personas cīnās par vienlīdzību attiecībā pret heteroseksuāliem un vēlas, lai tiktu atļautas oficiālas laulības un bērnu adopcija Latvijā.

Elektroniskie pierādījumi civilprocesā.

2021

Maģistra darba tēma ir "Elektroniskie pierādījumi civilprocesā". Šī tēma ir izvēlēta, jo pasaule turpina virzīties digitālās transformācijas virzienā un 2020. gada notikumi kalpoja par sava veida akseleratoru. Elektroniskā saziņa un elektronisko dokumentu aprite saimnieciskajā un privātajā dzīvē ieņem līderpozīcijas, salīdzinājumā ar fizisku dokumentu apritu un rakstveida līguma slēgšanu. Personas vēlas ātri saņemt un nodot informāciju, ātri noslēgt līgumus, baudīt citas elektroniskās vides priekšrocības. Tā rezultātā, nemazāk svarīgs ir arī drošības apsvērums, ar mērķi, nepieciešamības gadījumā, spēt aizstāvēt aizskartās tiesības arī tiesā. Līdz ar to, elektronisko pierādījumu nozīme arvie…

Nonlocal analytical solution for multilayered composite shells

2021

Abstract In this work, an advanced nonlocal analytical formulation for the static analysis of composite shell structures is proposed. The governing equations are derived from the Principle of Virtual Displacement (PVD) [1] and are solved by the use of the Navier solution [2]. Layer-Wise models related to linear up to fourth order variations of the unknown variables in the thickness direction are treated. The modelization of multilayered structure materials takes into account the composite material properties and the nonlocal behavior based on the work of Eringen [3]. In order to take into account the nonlocality of the material, the Eringen’s stress-gradient model is employed [4]. The novel…

L’USURARIETÀ DEGLI INTERESSI MORATORI. CONSIDERAZIONI CRITICHE SULLA SENTENZA DELLE SEZIONI UNITE 18 SETTEMBRE 2020, N. 19597

2021

L’intervento della Suprema corte investe la questione dei controversi rapporti tra la mora e l’usura, nel faticoso tentativo di fronteggiare le incertezze generate da un’ondivaga giurisprudenza di merito e di guidare l’interprete nell’eterogeneità di vedute in dottrina. Già in precedenza la Suprema corte aveva ricavato la rilevanza usuraria degli interessi moratori da una sostanziale identità di funzione tra interessi corrispettivi e moratori, da cui discende l’irragionevolezza di un trattamento differenziato ai fini del rilievo dell’usura. Pronunziatesi in senso favorevole all’inclusione degli interessi di mora nella fattispecie di usura in astratto, le Sezioni Unite si occupano dell’ulter…

Étude de statistiques combinatoires et de leur impact en optimisation évolutionnaire

2021

This thesis studies combina­­­torial objects, with both an algorithmic and a combinatorial point of view. In the combinatorial part, we take care first, the enumeration of Catalan words avoiding pairs of patterns of length three, presenting the proofs of each case with various enumeration methods. Catalan words are particular growth-restricted words counted by the eponymous integer sequence. More precisely­­­­, we systematically explore the structural properties of the sets of words under consideration and give enumerating results by constructive bijections or bivariate generating functions with respect to the length and descent number. Then, we study a sorting machine using two stacks in s…

Análisis de las necesidades psicosociales, calidad de vida y distrés en supervivientes de cáncer de mama

2021

Las innovaciones producidas en el diagnóstico y tratamiento del cáncer han permitido elevar considerablemente las tasas de supervivencia de la enfermedad. Sin embargo, ser superviviente de cáncer no es sinónimo de estar libre de problemas físicos y psicosociales debido a esta enfermedad y su tratamiento. Mediante un diseño transversal multi-céntrico y el estudio de una muestra compuesta por 588 supervivientes de cáncer de mama post-tratamiento, el presente trabajo explora (i) los niveles de calidad de vida (QLACS), las necesidades psicosociales insatisfechas (CaSUN) y el distrés psicosocial (BSI-18) que caracterizan a esta población, y (ii) la posible relación entre variables tanto sociodem…

Validare le pratiche collaborative per l’economia circolare urbana: il punto di vista del design.

2021

The article presents the results of the research activity carried out within the framework of the European project H2020 REFLOW, which aims to build an integrated approach for the development of innovative participatory practices dedicated to urban circular metabolisms. As a result of the survey conducted on the application of collaborative models for the urban circular economy, it emerged that there is no shared operational strategy that can be adopted for the circular development of complex systems, such as cities. Based on this premise, this paper offers a new perspective on how to build and validate a transitional pathway for the development of circular cities through the adoption of a …

Localizadas en Antequera (Málaga) las primeras poblaciones para Europa continental de la hepática mundialmente rara, Riella affinis

2021

Riella Mont. es un género de plantas acuáticas talosas, con unas características morfológicas y ecológicas muy singulares que las hacen destacar sobre el conjunto de las hepáticas. Una de sus peculiaridades es que crecen sumergidas en aguas dulces y salobres, principalmente en lagunas temporales de zonas áridas o semiáridas, aunque también lo hacen en arroyos someros y de forma más rara en lagos permanentes. Las lagunas temporales, su principal hábitat, son humedales con una fase seca recurrente que, en la región Mediterránea, suele coincidir con el verano.

Lignin-based activated carbon-supported metal oxide catalysts in lactic acid production from glucose

2021

In this study, heterogeneous biomass-based activated carbon-supported metal oxide catalysts were prepared and tested for lactic acid production from glucose in aqueous solution. Activated carbons were produced from hydrolysis lignin by chemical (ZnCl2) or steam activation and modified with a nitric acid treatment and Sn, Al, and Cr chlorides to obtain carbon-based metal oxide catalysts. The modification of the carbon support by nitric acid treatment together with Sn and Al oxides led to an increase in lactic acid yield. The highest lactic acid yield (42%) was obtained after 20 minutes at 180 °C with the Sn/Al (5/2.5 wt.%) catalyst on steam-activated carbon treated by nitric acid. Reusabilit…

News values as evaluation. Main naming practices in Violence Against Women news stories in contemporary Spanish newspapers: El País vs. El Mundo (200…

2021

Violence Against Women (VAW) is a very sensitive, and highly ideological, topic in the Spanish society, as well as in Western societies generally. In Spain, media accounts of VAW are very closely related to two quality newspapers, El País and El Mundo, providing a variety of naming practices for VAW, with differing ideological and evaluative implications. In this paper, I compare and contrast these two dailies in their use of the three main naming practices —violencia de género ‘gender-based violence’, violencia doméstica ‘domestic violence’ and violencia machista ‘male violence’— used in VAW news. To do so I resort to the news values approach proposed by Bednarek and Caple (2012, 2014, 201…

2021

This chapter traces the transnational journey of Philippine anthropologist Felipe Landa Jocano from the 1950s to the 1970s. Jocano was part of a group of Philippine social scientists who earned their post-graduate degrees at the University of Chicago after the Philippines became independent from the US. One of the pre-eminent scholars in the Philippines, Jocano’s professional and intellectual journey unfolded against the backdrop of the Cold War and decolonization. Jocano received funding from US institutions that contributed to the Cold War, and he was committed to structural functionalism and modernization theory. Yet he developed a decolonized approach to modernization that questioned th…

The Lutheran and Roman Catholic Churches in Latvia

2021

Before World War II Latvia had several strong traditional religious communities: Lutheran, Roman Catholic, Baptist, Russian Old Believers and Orthodox. After the war, the Soviet regime extended the persecution of these communities eliminating the most disobedient clergymen and church members. The property of religious groups was nationalized, and many parishes were abolished. Even after the repressions, religious communities continued to be active. However, to preserve their faith, they had to seek compromises with the Soviet regime, including with the KGB. The chapter focuses on the two main Christian churches in Latvia, the Roman Catholic Church and the Evangelical Lutheran Church, explai…

2021

The relative stability of trans-[(η5-C5H5)Fe(η1-CO)(μ-CO)]2 (trans-I) and cis-I tautomers in a vacuum and in solvents with different dielectric constants (e) has been investigated by exploiting density functional theory (DFT). Theoretical results indicate that, in agreement with experimental evidence, trans-I is more stable than cis-I in a vacuum (∼1.5 kcal mol−1; e = 1), while the opposite is true in media with e > 7. Differently from solution, DFT outcomes pertaining to the vapor-phase cis-I ⇆ trans-I equilibrium at T = 368 K, the temperature at which the Fe L2,3-edges and the C and O K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) data of I have been recorded, ultimately indicate the trans-I …

Dielectric response of BaTiO3 electronic states under AC fields via microsecond time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy

2021

Abstract For the first time, the dielectric response of a BaTiO 3 thin film under an AC electric field is investigated using microsecond time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Ti K-edge in order to clarify correlated contributions of each constituent atom on the electronic states. Intensities of the pre-edge e g peak and shoulder structure just below the main edge increase with an increase in the amplitude of the applied electric field, whereas that of the main peak decreases in an opposite manner. Based on the multiple scattering theory, the increase and decrease of the e g and main peaks are simulated for different Ti off-center displacements. Our results indicate that these s…

An Aircraft Pilot Workload Sensing System

2021

The workload evaluation is of great importance for human error avoidance training, particularly in the use of complex systems that requires different and concurrent activities. The excessive workload harms human performance even with adverse outcomes. In the aviation field, certain flight maneuvers, such as take-off and landing, are characterized by great attention and workload demand to the pilot. Thus, a system capable of measuring pilots’ workload levels during flight could be beneficial to increase pilots’ performance. This work aims to study the initial feasibility of a device called Cockpit Pilot Warning System that monitors the pilot workload level during flight. With this aim, an ex…
