Mental toughness in elite and sub-elite female soccer players

2017

Mental toughness (MT) is seen as an important psychological factor in the athletic success of elite athletes. Research on the subject has usually concerned male athletes. Our purpose was to investigate whether there are differences in mental toughness between female players who compete in an elite league and those who play at lower levels. In total, 298 female soccer players (M = 20.7 years, SD = 3.7 years) from three levels of Norwegian soccer responded to the Sports Mental Toughness Questionnaire. The MT Constancy subscale was removed from analysis due to an unacceptable Cronbach alpha (0.57). The results revealed that elite league players had significantly higher MT Global scores than th…

Augu vīrusu strukturālo proteīnu domēni antigēnu multimerizācijai

2018

Maģistra darba mērķis ir pārbaudīt ekspresēto un attīrīto ApMV un CMV CP N-gala sajūgtos domēnus ar eGFP un PADRE T-šūnu epitopu oligomerizācijas īpašības un imunogenitāti peļu modelī, salīdzinot datus ar veselas vīrusveidīgās daļiņas imunogenitāti, ko varētu izmantot turpmākiem eksperimentiem imunoloģiski nozīmīga epitopa pārbaudē. Maģistra darbs tika izstrādāts no 2016. gada septembra līdz 2018. gada maijam Augu virusoloģijas grupā Latvijas Biomedicīnas pētījumu un studiju centrā, Dr. biol. Andra Zeltiņa un Dr. biol. Inas Baļķes vadībā. Darba gaitā, papildus bakalaura darba ietvaros izveidotām konstrukcijām, tika izveidotas vēl divas konstrukcijas, kur CP N-terminālie domēni, papildus eGF…

Using Tags to Select Stimuli in the Study of Music and Emotion

2013

A wealth of literature on musical emotion exists, including investigation of the use of tags to classify musical emotions. However, the relationship between musical emotions and human annotated information is still unclear. Likewise, the understanding of the differences between induced emotion (also known as felt emotion) and perceived emotion (also known as expressed emotion) is at an early stage. In previous work, lists of songs labelled with one of the four basic emotion tags “happy”, “sad”, “angry” and “relaxed” were retrieved from Last.FM, and audio excerpts were fetched from 7Digital.com. In this study, we asked listeners to rate musical excerpts with the perceived or induced emotion …

Data from: Low but contrasting neutral genetic differentiation shaped by winter temperature in European great tits

2015

Gene flow is usually thought to reduce genetic divergence and impede local adaptation by homogenising gene pools between populations. However, evidence for local adaptation and phenotypic differentiation in highly mobile species, experiencing high levels of gene flow, is emerging. Assessing population genetic structure at different spatial scales is thus a crucial step towards understanding mechanisms underlying intraspecific differentiation and diversification. Here, we studied the population genetic structure of a highly mobile species – the great tit Parus major – at different spatial scales. We analysed 884 individuals from 30 sites across Europe including 10 close-by sites (< 50 km)…

Reporting in Conflict Zones in Pakistan: Risks and Challenges for Fixers

2020

As a backbone of reporting in war and conflicts, fixers offer essential assistance to the foreign correspondent in conflict zones, also in Pakistan. With valuable local knowledge and contacts, fixers can arrange travel to secure entry of foreign correspondents into conflict zones in addition to securing interviews with otherwise unattainable figures, while offering reliable translation services. Pakistani media, despite being one of the largest and most developed in South Asia, remains under the strict control of powerful military establishment and government, while seeming to mirror the overarching government sentiment with a distinct lack of research-based news. Challenging this state of …

A Relational Approach to How Media Engage With Their Audiences in Social Media

2022

People are increasingly turning to social media for their news and for sharing and discussing news with others. Simultaneously, media organizations are becoming platform-dependent and posting short forms of their news on their social media sites in the hope that audiences will not only consume this news but also comment on and share it. This article joins other media and journalism studies exploring this phenomenon through a relational approach to media audiences to better understand how media organizations, particularly newspapers, are cultivating relationships with audiences via social media. Drawing on public relations theory about organization–public relationships, the article examines …

Smaga, akūta pankreatīta mortalitātes faktoru analīze

2015

Akūts pankreatīts – pasaulē plaši izplatīta aizkuņģa dziedzera slimība, biežāk slimo pieaugušie. Smaga akūta pankreatīta gadījumā var attīstīties nopietnas, dažreiz paliekošas un dzīvību apdraudošas komplikācijas. Pētījumā mērķis analizēt faktorus, kas paaugstina mirstību pacientiem ar diagnozi akūts pankreatīts (SSK – 10 klasifikācijas kods K85) Rīgas Austrumu Klīniskas Universitātes Slimnīca (turpmāk tekstā RAKUS) stacionārā Gaiļezers. Darba uzdevumi, noskaidrot mirstības saistību ar vecumu, dzimumu, etioloģisku faktoru, komplikācijām, kā arī izvērtējot pacientus pēc DT smaguma indeksa(Balthazar CT severity index). Pētījuma tika noskaidrots kā mirstību no smaga, akūta pankreatīta būtiski …

A Historical Analysis of Media Practices and Technologies in Protest Movements : A Review of Crisis and Critique by Anne Kaun

2017

Dr. Anne Kaun’s book, <em>Crisis and Critique: A Brief History of Media Participation in Times of Crisis</em> (London: Zed Books, 2016, 131 pp., ISBN: 978-1-78360-736-5), is a concise but comprehensive analysis of the changing media practices and technologies in protest movements. The book overviews the topic within the context of major economic crises and scrutinises three richly detailed case studies in the United States: (a) the unemployed workers’ movement during the Great Depression in the 1930s, (b) the tenants’ rent strike movement of the early 1970s, and (c) the Occupy Wall Street movement following the Great Recession of 2008. Kaun begins her book with an introduction t…

Una caracterització cognitiva de les preguntes confirmatòries: (question tags)

1995

This paper is an attempt to provide a cognitive approach to question tags, as grammatical constructions that show different syntactic forms. We propose an account based on the following points: (i) definition of question tags, (ii) contrastive analysis of the structures in several languages (Catalan, Spanish, French, Italian, English and German), (iii) pragmatic approach to question tags, (iv) syntactic approach, and (v) study of question tags as grammatical constructions. Our main claim is that the various forms that they show in the languages considered are closely related, and that they evidenciate some of the three definitory characteristics of the construction, namely, its mixed modali…
