Bērnības piesaistes attiecību saistība ar dzīvesspēku jauniešiem

2022

Bakalaura darba pētījuma mērķis ir noskaidrot kāda saistība pastāv starp bērnības piesaistes attiecību un dzīvesspēka raksturojošiem faktoriem jauniešu vecumā. Pētījuma jautājums ir kādas saistības pastāv starp bērnības piesaistes attiecību un dzīvesspēku raksturojošiem faktoriem jauniešu vecumā. Pētījumā piedalījās 53 dalībnieki, no tiem 45 sievietes un 8 vīrieši, vecumā no 18 līdz 25 gadiem, kuriem bērnības piesaistes attiecības tika pētītas, izmantojot Vecāku un vienaudžu piesaistes aptauju (The Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment, Armsden & Greenberg, 1987. Latvijā adaptējusi Lubenko, J., 2007), kā arī dzīvesspēka pētniecībai tika izmantota Dzīvesspēka aptauja pieaugušajiem (RSA Res…

Nata per correre New York City tra il XIX e gli inizi del XX secolo

2023

il volume affronta la trasformazione di New York City dagli inizi del XIX secolo sino al primo ventennio del Novecento. Non solo attraverso la trasformazione strettamente urbana, ma scandagliando le formazione della cultura urbana, anche sulla scorta delle migrazioni e dei fenomeni che resero New York la prima città dell'America del Nord. Il libro affronta il mondo del lavoro e gli effetti sulla forma urbi, tratta della nascita dei grattacieli e mette in relazione questo macro fenomeno con le economie urbane e con le imprese che realizzarono i grattacieli. Affrontando la città come se fosse un laboratorio, il volume tratta di alcuni elementi, tra cui la diffusione dell'informazione, dei gio…

O início de uma nova era: teste sistemático para patógenos causadores de infecções agudas das vias aéreas superiores (IVAS) em crianças

2007

On average humans get sick ten times per year. About six times the illness is due to an acute respiratory tract infection (ARI). Morbidity is especially high in children since they usually encounter the offending organism for the first time in their life; the lack of immunity results in shedding of the offending organisms in high numbers of prolonged time as compared to adults; their airways are smaller than those of adults and thus the inflammatory response leads to a more significant narrowing of the airways resulting in more severe disease; on average they have a high number of social contacts and also a more intimate contact with peers and caregivers alike resulting in a higher attack r…

An analysis of the bias of variation operators of estimation of distribution programming

2018

Estimation of distribution programming (EDP) replaces standard GP variation operators with sampling from a learned probability model. To ensure a minimum amount of variation in a population, EDP adds random noise to the probabilities of random variables. This paper studies the bias of EDP's variation operator by performing random walks. The results indicate that the complexity of the EDP model is high since the model is overfitting the parent solutions when no additional noise is being used. Adding only a low amount of noise leads to a strong bias towards small trees. The bias gets stronger with an increased amount of noise. Our findings do not support the hypothesis that sampling drift is …

Drones in cyber security environment

2019

Aerial unmanned vehicles (AUV) are currently used for a wide range of operations such as border surveillance, surveillance, reconnaissance, transport, aerial photography, traffic control, earth observation, communications, broadcasting and armed attacks. AUVs are presumed to be reliable, automated and autonomous machines. AUVs are extremely suitable for long missions that strain flight crews or put them to harm's way. Two advantages can be gained by eliminating the flight crew: 1) performance improves (range, endurance, increased payload and maneuverability, smaller physical size and lower observability) and; 2) the ability to take higher risks. UAV/RPAS/drone cyber security has largely foc…

Main factors of emotionally attached customers in retail banking of Latvia

2019

How the banking strategy in Latvia is changing? How can banks increase the number of active clients? Are banks in Latvia focusing to attract new clients or prefer to work with the existing client portfolio? How can the retail banking sector in Latvia impact the customer loyalty? The regulation developed by the Basel Committee and the regulations of The Financial and Capital Market Commission impacted the number of banks in Latvia and the number of active clients in retail banking. Latvian banks are getting more flexible in customer services and actively working to increase customer loyalty. If previously banks actively attracted the new clients to increase the number of customers, now banks…

Propagation of Bankruptcy Risk over Scale-Free Economic Networks.

2022

The propagation of bankruptcy-induced shocks across domestic and global economies is sometimes very dramatic; this phenomenon can be modelled as a dynamical process in economic networks. Economic networks are usually scale-free, and scale-free networks are known to be vulnerable with respect to targeted attacks, i.e., attacks directed towards the biggest nodes of the network. Here we address the following question: to what extent does the scale-free nature of economic networks and the vulnerability of the biggest nodes affect the propagation of economic shocks? We model the dynamics of bankruptcies as the propagation of financial contagion across the banking sector over a scale-free network…

Emerging Economies Faced With The Downside Of Financial Globalization: Hedges And Way Outs

2009

The underlining assumption of this paper is that developing countries are in a fragile state nowadays. Economically, they have been seriously harmed by the 2008 crisis1 but this is not the end of the story: the future still has pitfalls in which these economies might get trapped, due to their enhanced vulnerability to exogenous shocks generated by financial globalization. Ideologically, the recent events have triggered a serious backlash against capitalism, particularly the Anglo-Saxon template. Getting an insight into the causes and implications of global economic crises is therefore critical for policy-makers in emerging economies. History might be a good adviser in this respect. Lessons …

Periodontal health in a population with Parkinson's disease in Spain: a cross-sectional study.

2022

Background: The aim of this research is to evaluate the periodontal health of patients with Parkinson Disease (PD) in a Spanish cohort. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on 104 patients with PD (mean age: 66.19+9.3 years) and 106 controls (mean age: 59.26+14.11 years). A pre-designed clinical protocol was implemented, which included a standardized epidemiological index for periodontal disease (CPITN), clinical attachment loss (CAL), tooth-loss, full mouth plaque index (FMPI), and oral hygienic habits. Univariate descriptions and comparative analysis were performed. Results: The majority of PD patients presented good oral hygienic habits. There were no significant d…
