Latvia. Human Development Report 2010/2011: National identity, Mobility and Capability

2011

The 2010/2011 report was produced under the auspices of the national research programme „National Identity”. The job of the report is to survey the content of individual national belonging in the context of human development. The report particularly focuses on emigration issues, because human development is weakened by a reduction in the size of the country’s population. The fact that people are moving to other countries shows that there is an endless competition among identities, as well as a transformation of those identities. The report also reveals the set of circumstances and techniques (the ability to act) which facilitate links between an individual and a location or region. The firs…

Radiological Assessment of Pediatric Scoliosis Patients

2021

Nosaukums: Radioloģiskais izmeklējums pediatriskiem pacientiem ar skoliozi Autore: Saara Anni Susanna Suomalainen, medicīnas studente Darba vadītājs: Dr. med. Paulis Laizāns un Dr. med. Jānis Upenieks Priekšvēsture : Skolioze ir sānu novirze, kas pārsniedz 10 grādus no normāla mugurkaula, mērot pēc rentgenogrammas, un tāpēc, ka sānu līkne ir saistīta ar skriemeļu rotāciju līknes iekšienē, rodas trīsdimensiju deformācija. Idiopātiskā skolioze bērnu populācijā ir sadalīta trīs vecuma grupās - zīdaiņu, bērnu un pusaudžu. Radiogrāfiskais novērtējums ir galīgās diagnozes pīlārs. Labi uzņemtos rentgenogrammās var novērtēt segmentācijas anomāliju raksturojumu, izliekumu veidu un to elastību, kā ar…

Revisionismo histórico y racismo en la jurisprudencia constitucional : los límites de la libertad de expresión (a propósito de la STC 235/2007)

2007

Después de plantear la contradicción existente en la jurisprudenciaconstitucional que, por una parte, admite el revisionismo histórico conel límite del respeto a la dignidad y, por otra parte, reconoce con lamáxima amplitud la libertad ideológica, se analiza la STC 235/2007que ha declarado inconstitucional el delito de negación del genocidioy, en cambio, ha considerado constitucional la penalización de la justificacióndel genocidio. Esta sentencia ha clarificado parcialmente lasituación del revisionismo histórico y, en general, de la difusión de ideascontrarias a la Constitución pero sigue existiendo aquella contradicción;no obstante, ha aportado elementos como la distinción entreideas y ac…

Flow resistance equation for rills

2017

In this paper, a new flow resistance equation for rill flow was deduced applying dimensional analysis and self‐similarity theory. At first, the incomplete self‐similarity hypothesis was used for establishing the flow velocity distribution whose integration gives the theoretical expression of the Darcy–Weisbach friction factor. Then the deduced theoretical resistance equation was tested by some measurements of flow velocity, water depth, cross section area, wetted perimeter, and bed slope carried out in 106 reaches of some rills shaped on an experimental plot. A relationship between the velocity profile, the channel slope, and the flow Froude number was also established. The analysis showed …

Discussion of "Analysis of extreme rainfall trends in sicily for the evaluation of depth-duration-frequency curves in climate change scenarios" by Lo…

2016

In the original paper, the Authors investigated the presence of trends in extreme rainfall depths of duration d = 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours, in Sicily. Trend analysis was performed by using the Mann-Kendal non-parametric test, which was applied at-site, for a number of 65 raingauges well distributed in the region, for the period 1950-2008. In order to overcome the gap of missing data, six years moving average series were considered in the Author’s analysis. In this discussion, the discussers highlighted some important observations about the paper presented by the Authors: i) The Authors applied the non-parametric Mann Kendall test to moving average series of rainfall data. The use of moving …

Budyko’s Based Method for Annual Runoff Characterization across Different Climatic Areas: an Application to United States

2018

Runoff data knowledge is of fundamental importance for a wide range of hydrological, ecological, and socioeconomic applications. The reconstruction of annual runoff is a fundamental task for several activities related to water resources management, especially for ungauged basins. At catchment scales, the Budyko's framework provides an extremely useful and, in some cases, accurate estimation of the long-term partitioning of precipitation into evapotranspiration and runoff as a function of the prevailing climatic conditions. Recently the same long-term partitioning rules have been successfully used to describe water partitioning also at the annual scale and calculate the annual runoff distrib…

Measuring rill erosion using structure from motion: A plot experiment

2017

Abstract In this paper the results of a plot experiment on rill erosion are reported. The rill network, manually incised on the soil and further shaped by a clear inflow discharge, was surveyed using the three-dimensional photo-reconstruction (3D-PR) technique which allows to obtain a digital terrain model (DTM) by a large series of oblique images of the channel from consumer un-calibrated and non-metric cameras. The three-dimensional (3D) DTM and the quasi-tridimensional (2.5D) model were generated by Agisoft Photoscan software. For a single rill channel, the reliability of the 3D image-based ground measurements of morphological and hydraulic variables was positively tested by the correspo…
