Impact of climate change and man-made irrigation systems on the transmission risk, long-term trend and seasonality of human and animal fascioliasis i…
2014
Large areas of the province of Punjab, Pakistan are endemic for fascioliasis, resulting in high economic losses due to livestock infection but also affecting humans directly. The prevalence in livestock varies pronouncedly in space and time (1-70%). Climatic factors influencing fascioliasis presence and potential spread were analysed based on data from five mete- orological stations during 1990-2010. Variables such as wet days (Mt), water-budget-based system (Wb-bs) indices and the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), were obtained and correlated with geographical distribution, seasonality patterns and the two-decade evolution of fascioliasis in livestock throughout the province. …
Starpreģionu integrācija saistībā ar Dienvidāzijas ekonomiskajiem koridoriem un to ietekmi uz Pakistānas eksporta konkurētspēju.
2016
Šajā maģistra darbā ir pētīta starpreģionālā integrācija saistībā ar ekonomiskajiem koridoriem īpašu uzsvaru liekot uz Dienvidāzijas reģionu, kur valstis kā Pakistāna, Indija, Bangladeša un Šrilanka ir vienlīdz konkurētspējīgas darbaspēka radīšanā un kaut kādā ziņā preču ražošanā. Ņemot vērā eksportspējas līdzību, šie potenciālie partneri starptautiskajā tirgū konkurē viens ar otru. Maģistra darba mērķis ir izpētīt starpreģionu integrācijas konkrētāk ekonomisko koridoru ietekmi uz Pakistānas eksporta konkurētspēju tekstilizstrādājumu un apģērbu rūpniecību. Darbā apskatītas dažādas pieejas konkurētspējas noteikšanai kā arī Pakistānas tekstilrūpniecības industrijas analīze un ekspertu viedokļ…
Variants of human CLDN9 cause mild to profound hearing loss
2021
Hereditary deafness is clinically and genetically heterogeneous. We investigated deafness segregating as a recessive trait in two families. Audiological examinations revealed an asymmetric mild to profound hearing loss with childhood or adolescent onset. Exome sequencing of probands identified a homozygous c.475G>A;p.(Glu159Lys) variant of CLDN9 (NM_020982.4) in one family and a homozygous c.370_372dupATC;p.(Ile124dup) CLDN9 variant in an affected individual of a second family. Claudin 9 (CLDN9) is an integral membrane protein and constituent of epithelial bicellular tight junctions that form semi-permeable, paracellular barriers between inner ear perilymphatic and endolymphatic compartment…
