Labticības principa nozīme fiziskās personas maksātnespējas procesā.

2020

Maģistra darba tēma “Labticības principa nozīme fiziskās personas maksātnespējas procesā”. Latvijā fiziskās personas maksātnespējas procesa ietvaros, izpildot saistību dzēšanas plānu, personu var atbrīvot no atlikušajām nedzēstajām saistībām, ja tā ir bijusi godprātīga un savus pienākumus pildījusi labā ticībā. Šī darba mērķis ir, analizējot tiesu praksi, izvērtēt “godprātīgs parādnieks” nostādnes aktualitāti un vai būtu iespējams likumā noregulēt iespēju negodprātīgam parādniekam, pasludināt fiziskās personas maksātnespējas procesu un saistību dzēšanas plāna izpildes rezultātā dzēst daļu parādsaistību, bet piemērojot citus noteikumus. Darba ietvaros tiek meklēti problēmjautājumi un piedāvā…

Les défis de la gouvernance urbaine à Manille

2014

La région capitale des Philippines est une des plus grandes aires urbaines du monde en termes de population. Le périmètre officiel du Grand Manille (17 municipalités) abrite environ 12 millions d’habitants et l’expansion périmétropolitaine porte le chiffre réel de Manille à 15 ou 16 millions d’habitants.La rapide croissance de l’aire urbaine depuis les années 1960 a conduit à de gros problèmes de gestion du logement, de la circulation, des déchets et des risques d’inondation, entre autres. Les phénomènes sont interdépendants.Créée sous Ferdinand Marcos, la National Capital Region fut gérée par son épouse Imelda Marcos, gouverneure du Grand Manille. Après la chute de la dictature, une volont…

Evaluating similarity measures for gaze patterns in the context of representational competence in physics education

2018

The competent handling of representations is required for understanding physics' concepts, developing problem-solving skills, and achieving scientific expertise. Using eye-tracking methodology, we present the contributions of this paper as follows: We first investigated the preferences of students with the different levels of knowledge; experts, intermediates, and novices, in representational competence in the domain of physics problem-solving. It reveals that experts more likely prefer to use vector than other representations. Besides, a similar tendency of table representation usage was observed in all groups. Also, diagram representation has been used less than others. Secondly, we evalu…

Granica państwa jako kategoria wielowymiarowa

2013

Istnienie granic państwowych wynika przede wszystkim z przypisania państwom terytorium, a także z właściwego wspólnotom ludzkim instynktu terytorialności. Granica państwa, wyznaczając położenie geograficzne terytorium, określa nie tylko obszar państwa, ale spełnia również określone funkcje, które w podstawowym wymiarze mają charakter wewnętrzny i zewnętrzny. Mimo że na wielu obszarach granice zachowały tradycyjną funkcję bariery, współczesne granice nie funkcjonują już w ten sam sposób, jak jeszcze w niedalekiej przeszłości. W warunkach globalizacji kultury oraz internacjonalizacji polityki i gospodarki nastąpiło otwarcie granic i związane z tym osłabienie kontroli granicznej, stanowiącej d…

IMPROVED STABILITY OF GRAPHENE OXIDE-SILICA NANOHYBRIDS AND RELATED POLYMER-BASED NANOCOMPOSITES

2014

Although its promising properties make the graphene oxide (GO) very interesting as filler for polymer matrices, some problems related to its thermal stability in the region which ranges from 80 to 200 °C, are crucial for the possibility to melt process GO together with practically all the polymers [1,2]. Moreover, above 100 °C GO lamellae were found to become stacked. In this work, two different ways to preserve the GO structure and ensure its dispersion within different polymer matrices have been investigated and schematized in Fig. 1. Exfoliation plays a key-role in the achievement of good mechanical properties since it preserves the GO from both stacking phenomena. The capability of sili…

CUDA-BLASTP: Accelerating BLASTP on CUDA-enabled graphics hardware

2011

Scanning protein sequence database is an often repeated task in computational biology and bioinformatics. However, scanning large protein databases, such as GenBank, with popular tools such as BLASTP requires long runtimes on sequential architectures. Due to the continuing rapid growth of sequence databases, there is a high demand to accelerate this task. In this paper, we demonstrate how GPUs, powered by the Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA), can be used as an efficient computational platform to accelerate the BLASTP algorithm. In order to exploit the GPU's capabilities for accelerating BLASTP, we have used a compressed deterministic finite state automaton for hit detection as wel…

The Application of Supercritical Fluids Technology to Recover Healthy Valuable Compounds from Marine and Agricultural Food Processing By-Products: A …

2021

Food by-products contain a remarkable source of bioactive molecules with many benefits for humans; therefore, their exploitation can be an excellent opportunity for the food sector. Moreover, the revalorization of these by-products to produce value-added compounds is considered pivotal for sustainable growth based on a circular economy. Traditional extraction technologies have several drawbacks mainly related to the consumption of hazardous organic solvents, and the high temperatures maintained for long extraction periods which cause the degradation of thermolabile compounds as well as a low extraction efficiency of desired compounds. In this context, supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) ha…

Towards resilient cities: Advancements allowed by a multi-criteria optimization tool to face the new challenges of European Union’s climate and energ…

2019

Abstract The United Nations as well as the European Union are strongly committed in promoting a transition towards more sustainable and resilient cities. Indeed, they are increasingly affected by different types of threats, among which the natural ones such as earthquakes, fires, and floods (shocks) and climate variability (stresses). Cities are quite often unable to cope with the adverse effects of such natural hazards. This circumstance leads to the need of introducing resilience-related criteria (besides commonly used sustainability indicators) in decision-making processes. This paper investigates at which extent the inclusion of such new indicators, within multi-criteria assessment tool…

Comparison Between Conventional and Vegetated Roof by Means of a Dynamic Simulation

2015

In this paper, a dynamic simulation of a building located in the Campus University of Palermo, Italy, has been carried out. We considered two different scenarios; in the first one, the building as it is, with a conventional covering, while in the second one the roof was equipped with a green roof. The results of the two simulations have been compared, suggesting that such building component could contribute to the energy savings of the building. However, it has to be considered as part of other possible actions devoted to improve the energy efficiency of the whole building. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
