Ranke, Burckhardt e il "rinascimento orientale"
2020
Il saggio ricostruisce le reazioni di Ranke e di Burckhardt al "Rinascimento Orientale" del romanticismo e della cultura del tardo Ottocento. I temi trattati riguardano il tema della violenza nella storia, il significato del "sacrificio", il pericolo dell'anonimato e del quantitativo nella vita metropolitana. Un riferimento importante è svolto nel saggio da Quinet, cui si ricorre come a un "fil rouge". What stance on “Eastern Renaissance” did Ranke and Burckhardt take? This subject needed to make a survey of the German-Romantic idea of the East, focusing on Herder’s anthropology. Notoriously, Ranke and Burckhardt were very different historians, but they shared a negative opinion on “Eastern…
Mūzikas platformas "Spotify" lietojuma motivācija Latvijā
2019
Mūsdienās, attīstoties tehnoloģijām, palielinās pieprasījums pēc kvalitatīva ierīcēs pieejamā satura. Viedtālruņi, planšetdatori, personīgie datori - šīs ir tikai dažas ierīces, kuras patērējam ikdienā un bez kurām mūsdienu pasaule vairs nav iedomājama. Tradicionālo radio arvien straujāk nomaina digitālais radio un mūzikas lietotnes. Mūzikas platforma "Spotify" ir viena no lielākajām šāda tipa aplikācijām tirgū, kas 2019.gadā pārsniedz 200 miljonus aktīvo lietotāju visā pasaulē. Bakalaura darba "Mūzikas platformas "Spotify" lietojuma motivācija Latvijā" mērķis ir noskaidrot, kāpēc Latvijas iedzīvotāji dažādās vecuma grupās izvēlas patērēt šo mūzikas platformu, nevis kādu citu līdzīgu digita…
Pirkstiņrotaļas un rotaļas ar priekšmetiem 3- 4 gadus vecu bērnu griešanas prasmes sekmēšanai
2019
Kvalifikācijas darba tēma ir, “Pirkstiņrotaļas un rotaļas ar priekšmetiem 3-4 gadus vecu bērnu griešanas prasmes sekmēšanai”. Darba mērķis ir teorētiski analizēt un praktiski pētīt, kā pirkstiņrotaļu un rotaļu ar priekšmetiem pielietošana sekmē 3-4 gadus vecu bērnu griešanas prasmes. Mērķa sasniegšanai tika izvirzīti vairāki uzdevumi: 1. Analizēt pedagogu un psihologu atziņas par 3-4 gadus vecu bērnu attīstību un raksturot griešanas prasmes. 2.Analizēt pedagogu atziņas par rotaļu, pirkstiņrotaļu pētījuma kontekstā. 3.Veikt pētījumu par griešanas prasmju sekmēšanu rotaļā. Darba pirmajā daļā teorētiski tiek analizēta pedagogu un psihologu atziņas par bērna attīstības īpatnībām vidējā pirmskol…
Anthropometric measures of 9-to 10-year-old native tibetan children living at 3700 and 4300m above sea level and han Chinese living at 3700m
2015
A high residential altitude impacts on the growth of children, and it has been suggested that linear growth (height) is more affected than body mass. The aim of the present study was to estimate the prevalence of obesity, overweight, underweight, and stunting in groups of native Tibetan children living at different residential altitudes (3700 vs 4300 m above sea level) and across ancestry (native Tibetan vs Han Chinese children living at the same altitude of 3700 m), as well as to examine the total effect of residential altitude and ancestry with stunting. Two cross-sectional studies of 1207 school children aged 9 to 10 years were conducted in Lhasa in 2005 and Tingri in 2007. Conventional …
Dos veces Julio. Sobre algunas memorias fotográficas del pasado reciente en la Argentina
2016
Resumen: El punto de partida de este articulo es una foto de Julio Lopez, ex detenido-desaparecido de la pasada dictadura argentina y vuelto a desaparecer en 2006 tras dar testimonio en el juicio que condeno al represor Miguel Etchecolatz a prision perpetua. Una foto de Lopez ya vista sera ahora reinsertada en otro contexto, duplicada para ser dada nuevamente a la mirada. Desde ella se desplegaran las singularidades de algunas otros artefactos visuales entendidos como memorias fotograficas de la historia reciente argentina ligada a la pasada dictadura. Fotos que en sus mismos procedimientos de construccion de lo pasado se van conformando como artefactos de memoria, tensando particularmente…
Shallow system rejuvenation and magma discharge trends at Piton de la Fournaise volcano (La Réunion Island)
2017
International audience; Basaltic magma chambers are often characterized by emptying and refilling cycles that influence their evolution in space and time, and the associated eruptive activity. During April 2007, the largest historical eruption of Piton de la Fournaise (Île de La Réunion, France) drained the shallow plumbing system (>240×106 m3>240×106 m3) and resulted in collapse of the 1-km-wide summit crater. Following these major events, Piton de la Fournaise entered a seven-year long period of near-continuous deflation interrupted, in June 2014, by a new phase of significant inflation. By integrating multiple datasets (lava discharge rates, deformation, seismicity, gas flux, gas composi…
The (de)politicisation of nuclear power: The Finnish discussion after Fukushima
2017
When the Fukushima accident occurred in March 2011, Finland was at the height of a nuclear renaissance, with the Government’s decision-in-principle in 2010 to allow construction of two new nuclear reactors. This article examines the nuclear power debate in Finland after Fukushima. We deploy the concepts of (de)politicisation and hyperpoliticisation in the analysis of articles in the country’s main newspaper. Our analysis indicates that Finnish nuclear exceptionalism manifested in the safety-related depoliticising and the nation’s prosperity-related hyperpoliticisation arguments of the pro-nuclear camp. The anti-nuclear camp used politicisation strategies, such as economic arguments, to sho…
Indigenous people’s responses to drought in northwest Bangladesh
2019
Abstract Bangladesh is highly disaster-prone, with drought being a major hazard which significantly impacts water, food, health, livelihoods, and migration. In seeking to reduce drought vulnerabilities and impacts while improving responses, existing literature pays limited attention to community-level views and actions. This paper aims to contribute to filling in this gap by examining how an indigenous group, the Santal in Bangladesh’s northwest, responds to drought through local strategies related to water, food, and migration which in turn impact health and livelihoods. A combination of quantitative data through a household survey and qualitative data through participatory rural appraisal…
How much is enough? : The convergence of finite sample scattering properties to those of infinite media
2021
We study the scattering properties of a cloud of particles. The particles are spherical, close to the incident wavelength in size, have a high albedo, and are randomly packed to 20% volume density. We show, using both numerically exact methods for solving the Maxwell equations and radiative-transfer-approximation methods, that the scattering properties of the cloud converge after about ten million particles in the system. After that, the backward-scattered properties of the system should estimate the properties of a macroscopic, practically infinite system. (C) 2021 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Social vulnerability to climate policies: Building a matrix to assess policy impacts on well-being
2021
In this article, we address the social vulnerability of people to climate mitigation policies and contribute to assessing the social impacts of climate policies by introducing a matrix tool for conducting vulnerability assessments and participatory climate policy planning. The matrix serves as a methodological tool for identifying social groups in their social spaces. First, we lay the foundation for the matrix by linking social vulnerability to equality and justice, demonstrating the importance of addressing social vulnerability in climate policy design and research. Next, we introduce the ways in which social vulnerability has been addressed in the integration of social and climate policy…
