Emociju regulācijas saistība ar uztverto sociālo atbalstu un sasniegumu motivāciju notiesātām personām ieslodzījumā

2019

Šī bakalaura darba mērķis bija noskaidrot, vai pastāv saistība starp emociju regulāciju, uztverto sociālo atbalstu un sasniegumu motivāciju notiesātām personām ieslodzījumā, analizējot teorētisko literatūru, jaunāko zinātnisko pētījumu rezultātus un veicot praktisku pētījumu. Tika izvirzīts pētījuma jautājums: Kādas ir sakarības starp emociju regulācijas, uztverto sociālā atbalsta un sasniegumu motivācijas rādītājiem notiesātām personām ieslodzījumā? Tāpat tika izvirzīti arī sekojoši papildjautājumi: 1) Kādas ir sakarības starp notiesātu personu ieslodzījumā uztvertā sociālā atbalsta rādītājiem, vecumu un attiecību statusu? 2) Kādas ir sakarības starp notiesātu personu ieslodzījumā sasniegu…

Characterization and transcription studies of a phytochelatin synthase gene from the solitary tunicate Ciona intestinalis exposed to cadmium.

2014

The major thiol-containing molecules involved in controlling the level of intracellular ROS in eukaryotes, acting as a nonenzymatic detoxification system, are metallothioneins (MTs), glutathione (GSH) and phytochelatins (PCs). Both MTs and GSH are well-known in the animal kingdom. PC was considered a prerogative of the plant kingdom but, in 2001, a phytochelatin synthase (PCS) gene was described in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans; additional genes encoding this enzyme were later described in the earthworm Eisenia fetida and in the parasitic nematode Schistosoma mansoni but scanty data are available, up to now, for Deuterostomes. Here, we describe the molecular characteristics and transc…

Soil inoculation with symbiotic microorganisms promotes plant growth and nutrient transporter genes expression in durum wheat

2015

In a field experiment conducted in a Mediterranean area of inner Sicily, durum wheat was inoculated with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), or with both to evaluate their effects on nutrient uptake, plant growth, and the expression of key transporter genes involved in nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) uptake. These biotic associations were studied under either low N availability (unfertilized plots) and supplying the soil with an easily mineralizable organic fertilizer. Regardless of N fertilization, at the tillering stage, inoculation with AMF alone or in combination with PGPR increased the aboveground biomass yield compared to the uninocula…

Are habitat loss, predation risk and climate related to the drastic decline in a Siberian flying squirrel population? A 15 year study

2014

To devise effective conservation actions, it is important to know which factors are associated with the population parameters of a declining population. Using mark–recapture methods, we estimated the annual population size, growth rate and survival probability of an ear-tagged flying squirrel population over a 15-year period in a 4,500 ha study area in western Finland. The species is considered vulnerable, but detailed knowledge concerning population sizes or trends is lacking. The population parameters and changes therein were regressed against habitat availability, an indicator of predation pressure, and mean winter temperature (an indicator of climate change), to reveal potential reasons…

An interface protection system with power line communication for distributed generators remote control

2014

The aim of this work is to present a narrow band power line communication (NB-PLC) interface protection system (IPS) for distributed generators (DGs); it has been developed according to the current standard CEI 0-21 and the requirements for smart grid applications. For such applications, the new IPSs have to implement new intelligent functions such as remote monitoring and control of DGs and Energy Storage Systems (ESSs) inverters, not only in terms of disconnection but also of voltage regulation and power modulation by the utility control. The main feature of the developed IPS is the ability to interact with both the grid and the DG's and ESS's inverters. In fact, it can communicate with t…

Food additives in food products for infants and young children - compliance with the prevailing rules and regulations

2016

Produkty dla niemowląt i małych dzieci, zgodnie z polskim prawem, należą do żywności przeznaczenia specjalnego i są podzielone na trzy kategorie preparatów: do żywienia początkowego, dalszego i uzupełniające środki spożywcze. Skład produktów należących do każdej z kategorii jest regulowany Rozporządzeniem Ministra Zdrowia z dnia 22 listopada 2010 r.: Przeanalizowanie składów produktów żywnościowych dla niemowląt i małych dzieci, dostępnych w obrocie handlowym na Opolszczyźnie. Na postawie podanych przez producentów składów przeanalizowano substancje dodatkowe w 81 produktach. Dodatki (kategorie preparatów) do żywności zostały użyte zgodnie z rozporządzeniem dotyczą- cym substancji dodatkowy…

Evaluation of metacognitive regulation skills in writing tasks in L1 and EFL in pre-service teachers

2020

The objective of this thesis is to diagnose the strategies of metacognitive control in writing of pre-service teachers (PSTs) in the deferred revision of two writing tasks in L1 (Spanish/Catalan) and English as a foreign language (EFL). Two exploratory studies were designed. In the first one, ninety-eight (N=98) PSTs took part they were split into higher (B2&C1) or lower (A1-B1) EFL proficiency and wrote either an essay (knowledge-transforming) or a summary (knowledge-telling) in their L1 or EFL. Texts were revised two days later so that text quality could be improved. The metacognitive control was assessed following mostly Allal's (2000) taxonomy. Each aspect of those changes or transforma…

Expectations And Mindsets Related To GDPR

2022

The aim of this qualitative case study is to examine the initial expectations and assumptions related to General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union from the perspectives of selected Finnish organizations: what were the initial expectations of GDPR, how were they adapted/refined over time, and what was the impact on organizational planning and resourcing. There are no precise earlier studies on the subject. The research question was:  What were the organizations’ initial expectations of GDPR - and how have they affected the efforts made?  GDPR can be described as an input that forms images, preconceptions and views among other things, through various active and passive c…

Product market regulation, innovation and productivity

2014

Several recent policy and academic contributions consider that liberalising product markets would foster innovation and growth. This paper analyses the innovation-productivity relationship at the industry-level for a sample of OECD manufacturing industries. We pay particular attention to the vertically-induced influence of product market regulation (PMR) of key input sectors of the economy on the innovative process of manufacturing and its consequences on productivity. We test for a differentiated effect of this type of PMR depending on whether countries are technological leaders or laggards in a given industry and for a given time period. Contrary to the most widespread policy claims, the …
