V. V. Klīves otrās mājas – Indija
2017
Latvijas Universitātes akadēmiķim, profesoram Visvaldim Varnešam Klīvem (1935–2003) izveidota virtuālā izstāde “Vieglus darbus neatmaksājas darīt: V. V. Klīvem – 85”, kurā atspoguļots ne tikai profesora dzīves gājums, bet LU Bibliotēkas krājumā esošā profesora Klīves grāmatu kolekcija. Izstādes sagatavošanas laikā izveidojās cieša un draudzīga sadarbība ar profesora sievu Viju Klīvi. Sarunās ar Klīves kundzi atklājās, ka nozīmīgs viņu dzīves periods kopā aizvadīts arī Indijā. Intervija atspoguļo spilgtus momentus, kas skar prof. V. V. Klīves un Vijas Klīves misijas darbu Indijā: personīgos iespaidus par šīs valsts klimatu, ļaudīm un kultūru.
The 2020 magnetism roadmap
2020
Following the success and relevance of the 2014 and 2017 Magnetism Roadmap articles, this 2020 Magnetism Roadmap edition takes yet another timely look at newly relevant and highly active areas in magnetism research. The overall layout of this article is unchanged, given that it has proved the most appropriate way to convey the most relevant aspects of today's magnetism research in a wide variety of sub-fields to a broad readership. A different group of experts has again been selected for this article, representing both the breadth of new research areas, and the desire to incorporate different voices and viewpoints. The latter is especially relevant for thistype of article, in which one's fi…
Characterization of Intertidal Macrofaunal Communities of Two Sandy Beaches under Different Anthropogenic Pressures
2022
The macrofauna in the intertidal zone of sandy beaches provides the trophic connectivity between land and sea, by linking microbiome, meiofauna, and megafauna, representing a food source for several terrestrial animals, including shorebirds and mammals. However, the macrozoobenthos in urbanised beaches is subjected to intense disturbances, such as breakwater barriers and tourism, which limit or impede the energy transfer from the marine to the terrestrial habitats. Because the information about diversity and abundance of the macrozoobenthos of the intertidal zone on the Mediterranean sandy coasts is scant, the main objective of this study is to increase the knowledge on the macrofauna livin…
Socio-economic inequalities in mortality due to injuries in small areas of ten cities in Spain (MEDEA Project).
2011
Abstract Objectives To analyse socio-economic inequalities in mortality due to injuries among census tracts of ten Spanish cities by sex and age in the period 1996–2003. Methods This is a cross-sectional ecological study where the units of analysis are census tracts. The study population consisted of people residing in the cities during the period 1996–2003. For each census tract we obtained an index of socio-economic deprivation, and estimated standardized mortality ratios using hierarchical Bayesian models which take into account the spatial structure of the data. Results In the majority of the cities, the geographical pattern of total mortality from injuries is similar to that of the soc…
Role of sensorimotor areas in early detection of motor errors: An EEG and TMS study
2019
Abstract Action execution is prone to errors and, while engaged in interaction, our brain is tuned to detect deviations from what one expects from other’s action. Prior research has shown that Event-Related-Potentials (ERPs) are specifically modulated by the observation of action mistakes interfering with goal achievement. However, in complex and modular actions, embedded motor errors do not necessarily produce an immediate effect on the global goal. Here we dissociate embedded motor goals from global action goals by asking subjects to observe familiar but untrained knotting actions. During knotting an embedded motor error (i.e. the rope is inserted top-down instead of bottom-up during the …
Socioeconomic inequalities in injury mortality in small areas of 15 European cities.
2013
This study analysed socioeconomic inequalities in mortality due to injuries in small areas of 15 European cities, by sex, at the beginning of this century. A cross-sectional ecological study with units of analysis being small areas within 15 European cities was conducted. Relative risks of injury mortality associated with the socioeconomic deprivation index were estimated using hierarchical Bayesian model. The number of small areas varies from 17 in Bratislava to 2666 in Turin. The median population per small area varies by city (e.g. Turin had 274 inhabitants per area while Budapest had 76,970). Socioeconomic inequalities in all injury mortality are observed in the majority of cities and a…
Agricultural quality products for territorial evaluation and tourism development in Sicily: the Pantelleria case
2010
The Agri-Food system is determined and conditioned by the effects of great phenomena, strictly related to territorial, environmental, social, political and economical aspects. Thus, agriculture has to carry out complex roles within the multi-functionality framework throughout production of healthy products, safeguard and protection of environment and territory, preservation and safeguard of bio-diversity, and by supplying goods and services to public, integrating with industry and agrifood distribution. Within such scenery, developed Countries, and in particular those of the EU, carry out strategies in order to adjust to new agrifood market conditions, and to respond to citizens-consumers i…
Les dynamiques du périurbain dijonnais entre 1990 et 1999
2009
Un étalement urbain accompagne désormais la croissance des villes, notamment les plus grandes. Principalement expliqué par un desserrement résidentiel, il est aussi la résultante des dynamiques de centralisation de l’emploi et de spécialisation des zones d’activité à l’intérieur des aires urbaines. L’exemple dijonnais met bien en lumière ce double mouvement qui affecte les communes de sa périphérie et contribue à accroître les mobilités. Urban sprawl arises from the growth of cities, especially of the biggest cities. This urban sprawl is accounted for mainly by residential clearing. It results also from the dynamics of centralization of employment and from specialization of activity zones i…
Ieskats akadēmiskās paukošanās nodarbībā
2021
Video uzņemts 2021. gada decembra mēneša priekšmeta "Akadēmiskās paukošanās inventārs" ietvaros, lai iepazīstinātu interesentus, kā strādā akadēmiskā paukošanās praksē. Latviešu studentu korporācija Latvia sniedza atbalstu LU Muzejam video uzņemšanā, piesaistot aktīvākos un labākos paukotājus.
Competence analysis of an open modelling task
2015
[ES] Según diversos autores, las actividades dirigidas al desarrollo conjunto de las competencias matemáticas deben relacionarse con la realidad y los procesos de modelización matemática. El objetivo del presente trabajo es describir, a partir de la producción de un grupo de alumnos de tercer curso de ESO, las competencias que los alumnos han de poner en juego para resolver una tarea genuina y completa de modelización y que formarían parte de la propia competencia en Modelización.
