Does differential iron supply to algae affect Daphnia life history? : An ionome-wide study
2019
The availability of iron (Fe) varies considerably among diet items, as well as ecosystems. Availability of Fe has also changed due to anthropogenic environmental changes in oceanic as well as inland ecosystems. We know little about its role in the nutrition of ecologically important consumers, particularly in inland ecosystems. Physiological studies in several taxa indicate marked effects of dietary Fe on oogenesis. We predicted that differential Fe supply to algae will impact algal Fe concentration with consequences on the life history of the freshwater grazer, Daphnia magna. We found that algal Fe concentration increased with Fe supply, but did not affect algal growth, indicating that the…
Obesity and survival in operable breast cancer patients treated with adjuvant anthracyclines and taxanes according to pathological subtypes: a pooled…
2013
Obesity is an unfavorable prognostic factor in breast cancer (BC) patients regardless of menopausal status and treatment received. However, the association between obesity and survival outcome by pathological subtype requires further clarification. METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis including 5,683 operable BC patients enrolled in four randomized clinical trials (GEICAM/9906, GEICAM/9805, GEICAM/2003-02, and BCIRG 001) evaluating anthracyclines and taxanes as adjuvant treatments. Our primary aim was to assess the prognostic effect of body mass index (BMI) on disease recurrence, breast cancer mortality (BCM), and overall mortality (OM). A secondary aim was to detect differences o…
Bronze of the Living, Bronze of the Dead
2023
In the area considered here, the funerary goods found in burials dating from the Late MBA to the beginning of the LBA (Bz C2 to Ha A1) are particularly rich, with a variety of bronze objects such as ornaments, clothing accessories, tools and weapons. Contemporary settlements only occasionally provide “lost” metal objects and deposits on land or in rivers remain rare. Is it possible from the objects found in excavated contexts (burials, settlements, hoards) alone to evaluate the bronze that circulated during the Late Bronze Age? How representative are the objects in these contexts of bronze production and do they really indicate the metal held within economic exchange networks? How can we de…
Cilvēka metafizika un filozofiskā antropoloģija Maksa Šēlera un Martina Heidegera skatījumā
2019
Šēlers pievēršas cilvēka definīcijai un aprakstam situācijā, kad top vairāki citi mēģinājumi jautājumu par cilvēku uzdot no jauna. "Cilvēka novietojums kosmosā" tiek publicēts ap to pašu laiku, kad savu skatījumu uz cilvēku ieskicē arī Martins Heidegers (Freiburgas inaugurāllekcija "Kas ir metafizika"?). Bakalaura darbā uzdots jautājums: kādas Šēlera skatījumā uz cilvēku ir paralēles, sasauces (un arī atšķirības) ar Heidegera filozofiju un antropoloģiskajiem pētījumiem.
Autobiographical texts written by learners of Catalan as an Additional Language: From formative needs to reflection in the teaching of narrative genr…
2022
In this article we analyse autobiographical narrative texts written by university students studying Catalan as an Additional Language at a CEFR (2020) B1 level. The goal is to analyse the formative needs related to the writing of this genre in order to foster metadiscursive reflection in the classroom that will allow students to improve their written output. To this end, we analyzed a corpus of 39 autobiographies at both the macrotextual level (i.e., rhetorical moves) and the microtextual level (i.e., deictic elements which channel the narrative’s organization). Our results show that the problems that these texts present for students are related to awareness of the elements that define the …
Vizuālās metaforas "Pasaules Dabas Fonda" drukātajās reklāmās (2011. - 2014.)
2015
Bakalaura darba tēma ir „Vizuālās metaforas "Pasaules Dabas Fonda" drukātajās reklāmās (2011. – 2014.)”. Pētījuma mērķis ir noskaidrot, kādas vizuālās metaforas tiek izmantotas „PDF” reklāmās, un vai ir kāda būtiska tendence metaforu izmantojumam tajās. Kā arī noteikt, kuri reklāmas vēstījumi – metaforiski vai nemetaforiski, auditorijai šķiet efektīvāki. Tiek izvirzīta hipotēze, ka „PDF” reklāmas vēstījumi, kas satur metaforas, ir efektīvāki nekā reklāmas vēstījumi, kas nesatur metaforas. Darbs strukturēts trijās daļās – teorija, metodoloģija un empīriskā daļa, iekļaujot rezultātu analīzi un secinājumus. Teorija balstās reklāmas teorijā, semiotikā un teorijā par metaforām. Kvalitatīvā un kv…
