'Spirit of Dayton' -käsite Daytonin rauhansopimuksen poliittisena uudelleentulkintana
2012
Bosnia and Herzegovina has been fragile state controlled by the international community since the Bosnian war that was ended by the Dayton Peace Agreement made in 1995. As part of the Dayton Agreement a new institution called the Office of High Representative (OHR) was established as the controlling body ensuring the peace and stability in the country. The OHR found huge difficulties in implementing the Dayton Accords, and was soon given legislative powers, as well as controversial powers to control media and to remove elected politicians from their posts in order to secure the implementation of civil aspects of the Dayton Peace Accords. These new powers given to the OHR were widely legitim…
Perfluoroalkyl substances in Breast milk, infant formula and baby food from Valencian Community (Spain)
2016
Environmental and human exposures to perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are of emerging concern since they are persistent and bioaccumulative. The present study reports PFASs levels in human milk, infant formulas and baby food (dry cereals and pots) from the Valencian Community (Spain) in order to evaluate the infant exposure to these substances through the diet. The results show that perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) were in all the samples of the four selected matrices (except PFOA in one sample of dry cereal baby food). Perfluoroheptanoic acid (PFHpA) and perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA) were also detected in 70% of the breast milk samples. In infant formulas, P…
Miopijas attīstību ietekmējošie faktori
2021
Darbs ir uzrakstīts latviešu valodā uz 36 lappusēm. Tajā kopā ir 24 attēli un 11 tabulas. Darbā kopā ir 35 atsauces uz literatūras avotiem. Darba mērķis : Novērtēt faktorus, kuri ietekmē miopijas progresēšanu. Pētījuma ietvaros tika izveidotas divas aptaujas. Aptaujā iegūtie dati tika apkopoti no 71 respondenta. Lai salīdzinātu un analizētu aptaujā iegūto dalībnieku datus un noskaidrotu, kā miopija progresē, papildus tika izmantots arī miopijas kalkulators. Tā kā miopijas kalkulatora piedāvātajām miopijas progresiju līknēm ir informatīvs raksturs, tad bērnu vecākiem kopā ar acu ārstu vai optometristu miopijas kalkulators varētu palīdzēt pieņemt labāko lēmumu miopijas korekcijas izvēlē.

Matrix isolation studies and DFT calculations on molecular alkali metal bromates
2009
DFT and MP2 calculations have been carried out on a series of molecular alkali metal bromates MBrO3 (M = Na, K, Rb, Cs), and the results compared with matrix isolation IR studies on the vaporisation of the solid salts. For M = Na, K or Rb, no ternary molecular species were detected in the low temperature matrix, but vaporisation of solid caesium bromate at 730 K resulted in the formation of molecular CsBrO3, which was identified as having a C3v structure involving tridentate coordination. Additionally, the DFT and MP2 calculations provide estimates of the molecular parameters for all four MBrO3 species, and for the related MXO3 species CsClO3 and CsIO3. The proven stability of MBrO3 molecul…
A Modular Synthesis of Polysubstituted Indolizines
2012
The N-alkylation of pyridines with cyanohydrin triflates or α-halonitriles furnishes 1-(1-cyanoalkyl)pyridinium salts that can react with nitroolefins under basic conditions to furnish polysubstituted indolizines. Overall, the indolizine core can be constructed from a pyridine, two aldehydes, and a nitroalkane, and no undesired functional groups remain in the products. When bromoacetonitrile was used for the N-alkylation, indolizine-3-carbonitriles were obtained instead. The pyridine component may be replaced by other azines, giving rise to related heterocyclic systems.

Association of Cry1Ac toxin resistance in Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) with increased alkaline phosphatase levels in the midgut lumen.
2012
ABSTRACT Resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Ac toxin was characterized in a population of Helicoverpa zea larvae previously shown not to have an alteration in toxin binding as the primary resistance mechanism to this toxin. Cry1Ac-selected larvae (AR1) were resistant to protoxins and toxins of Cry1Ab, Cry1Ac, and the corresponding modified proteins lacking helix α-1 (Cry1AbMod and Cry1AcMod). When comparing brush border membrane vesicles (BBMVs) prepared from susceptible (LC) and AR1 larval midguts, there were only negligible differences in overall Cry1Ac toxin binding, though AR1 had 18% reversible binding, in contrast to LC, in which all binding was irreversible. However, no differe…
Inhalation solutions: which one are allowed to be mixed? Physico-chemical compatibility of drug solutions in nebulizers.
2006
AbstractTherapy of chronic respiratory diseases often involves inhalation therapy with nebulizers. Patients often attempt to shorten the time consuming administration procedure by mixing drug solutions/suspensions for simultaneous inhalation. This article considers the issue of physico-chemical compatibility of admixtures of drug solutions/suspensions in nebulizers.A search of databases, prescribing information and primary literature was conducted to locate literature concerning the physico-chemical compatibility of inhalation solutions/suspensions. This was supplemented by telephone interviews.Admixtures of albuterol with ipratropium and/or cromolyn, of albuterol and budesonide, or tobramy…
A qualitative study on the role of the built environment for short walking trips
2015
The present study uses a qualitative approach with the aim to identify built environmental factors influencing short walking distances for transportation among adults (18-65 years), with special attention to micro-scale attributes. Three focus groups were held in Valencia (Spain) and conducted with participants who undertook, at least once a week, one short non-shopping trip in any travel mode (were "short trip" is defined as less than 3045 min walking distance). A thematic analysis of the data was performed and six categories of factors emerged related to the built environment. Factors were also classified as either barriers to walking, or secondary factors related to the attractiveness of…
Development and validation of the neighborhood environment walkability scale for youth across six continents
2019
Abstract Background The IPEN International Physical Activity and Environment Network Adolescent project was conducted using common study protocols to document the strength, shape, and generalizability of associations of perceived neighborhood environment attributes with adolescents’ physical activity and overweight/obesity using data from 15 countries. Countries did not use identical versions of the Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale for Youth (NEWS-Y) to measure perceived neighborhood environment attributes. Therefore, this study derived a measurement model for NEWS-Y items common to all IPEN Adolescent countries and developed a scoring protocol for the IPEN Adolescent version of t…
