Atteikums reģistrēt Rīgas Pastafariānisma draudzi reliģisko organizāciju reģistrā kā Eiropas Cilvēktiesību konvencijas pārkāpums: domu un pārliecības…

2017

Domu, pārliecības un reliģijas brīvība, kas nostiprināta Eiropas Cilvēktiesību konvencijas 9.pantā, ir viena no demokrātiskas sabiedrības pamatiem, un atteikums reģistrēt Rīgas Pastafariānisma draudzi reliģisko organizāciju reģistrā var novest pie šo brīvību pārkāpuma. Darba mērķis ir izpētīt, kādu Konvencijas 9.panta aizsardzību bauda Rīgas Pastafariānisma draudze un pastafariānisms kopumā un kādas ir domu un pārliecības brīvību nošķiršanas no reliģijas brīvības tiesiskās un praktiskās sekas. Pētījuma ietvaros tiek noskaidrots, kādi ir valsts pienākumi attiecībā pret Rīgas Pastafariānisma draudzi pārliecības un reliģijas brīvības ietvaros. Darba rezultātā autors secina, ka atteikums reģist…

Trace gas composition in the Asian summer monsoon anticyclone: a case study based on aircraft observations and model simulations

2017

We present in situ measurements of the trace gas composition of the upper tropospheric (UT) Asian summer monsoon anticyclone (ASMA) performed with the High Altitude and Long Range Research Aircraft (HALO) in the frame of the Earth System Model Validation (ESMVal) campaign. Air masses with enhanced O3 mixing ratios were encountered after entering the ASMA at its southern edge at about 150 hPa on 18 September 2012. This is in contrast to the presumption that the anticyclone's interior is dominated by recently uplifted air with low O3 in the monsoon season. We also observed enhanced CO and HCl in the ASMA, which are tracers for boundary layer pollution and tropopause layer (TL) air or stratosp…

Horizontal and elevational phylogeographic patterns of Himalayan and Southeast Asian forest passerines (Aves: Passeriformes)

2011

Aim  Zoogeographic patterns in the Himalayas and their neighbouring Southeast Asian mountain ranges include elevational parapatry and ecological segregation, particularly among passerine bird species. We estimate timings of lineage splits among close relatives from the north Palaearctic, the Sino-Himalayan mountain forests and from adjacent Southeast Asia. We also compare phylogeographic affinities and timing of radiation among members of avian communities from different elevational belts. Location  East Asia. Methods  We reconstructed molecular phylogenies based on a mitochondrial marker (cytochrome b) and multilocus data sets for seven passerine groups: Aegithalidae, Certhiidae (Certhia),…

Ammonite faunas from condensed Cenomanian-Turonian sections (‘Tourtias’) in southern Belgium and northern France

2011

AbstractIn southern Belgium (Mons Basin and Tournai region) and northern France (area between Lille, Valenciennes and Maubeuge), condensed sequences have been referred to as ‘tourtias’ since the start of the nineteenth century. These levels correspond to a succession of trangressive systems tracts and generally appear as dark green, glauconitic and microconglomeratic facies. They are distributed all along the base of the more important transgressive systems tracts of the Cenomanian and basal Turonian from the Boulonnais (northwest France) to the Mons Basin (southern Belgium), through the Artois and Douaisis. Their age can now be determined more accurately by identification of their ammonite…

Chemistry and functional properties in prevention of neurodegenerative disorders of five Cistus species essential oils.

2013

The chemical composition of Cistus creticus, Cistus salvifolius, Cistus libanotis, Cistus monspeliensis and Cistus villosus essential oils has been examined by GC and GC–MS analysis. Height-nine constituents were identified in C. salvifolius oil, sixty in C. creticus, fifty-six in C. libanotis, fifty-four in C. villosus, forty-five in C. monspeliensis. Although the five species belong to the same genus, the composition showed interesting differences. Essential oils were screened also for their potential antioxidant effects (by DPPH, ABTS, FRAP and b-carotene bleaching test) and their acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibitory activity, useful for prevention and …

Late Holocene Asian summer monsoon variability reflected byδ18O in tree-rings from Tibetan junipers

2011

[1] Recent warming in High Asia might have a strong impact on Asian summer monsoon variability with consequences for the hydrological cycle. Based on correlations between climate data, the tree-ring δ18O of high-elevation junipers is an indicator of August precipitation. Thus, our 800-year long annually resolved oxygen isotope series reflects long-term variations in summer monsoon activity on the southern Tibetan plateau. Summer precipitation was reduced during 13th–15th centuries and since the 19th century, whereas the Little Ice Age period (15th–19th century) was rather moist. The late 20th century was among the driest periods during the past 800 years, showing a tendency to slightly wett…

Climatological characteristics of the tropics in China: climate classification schemes between German scientists and Huang Bingwei

2003

Reviewing some important German scientists who have developed climatic regionalization schemes either on a global or Chinese scale, their various definitions of the tropical climate characteristics in China are discussed and compared with Huang Bingwei’s climate classification scheme and the identification of the tropical climate therein. It can be seen that, due to different methodological approaches of the climatic regionalization schemes, the definitions of the tropics vary and hence also their spatial distribution in China. However, it is found that the tropical climate type occupies only a peripheral part of southern China, though it firmly represents a distinctive type of climate that…

Monster und Fabelwesen des Orients im Herzog Ernst

2022

In 12th-century German literature, a number of texts stands out, usually grouped under the heading 'Spielmannsdichtung' or 'Spielmannsepos', and which were characterised by a mixture of heroic, historical, legendary and courtly traits. Among such works is the epic Herzog Ernst (ca. 1180), which – along with other things - contains the story of an adventurous journey of his hero to a fabulous Orient inhabited by wondrous peoples and monstrous creatures. This paper explores how the epos and particularly the episode of the crane-men contribute to the creation of the image of the Orient in medieval German literature.

Rainfall Anomalies in the Source Region of the Nile and Their Connection with the Indian Summer Monsoon

1997

Abstract In light of the droughts and subsequent food crises that have plagued the Ethiopia–Sudan region in the course of its history, and especially during the last 3 decades, the author examines both the interannual and intraseasonal variabilities of the July–September rains and compares them to the Indian summer monsoon. Regional rainfall indexes for the region stretching from Eritrea to Lake Victoria are computed using seasonal totals for the period 1901–88. Daily data for 1982–88 are also considered. Though all these regions are only partly affected by the Indian monsoon cross-equatorial flow and although they are separated from India by an extensive dry belt (Red Sea, Somalia, west Ar…
