The effectiveness of a coordinated preventive care approach for healthy ageing (UHCE) among older persons in five European cities: A pre-post control…
2018
Abstract Background Older persons often have multiple health and social problems and need a variety of health services. A coordinated preventive approach that integrates the provision of health and social care services could promote healthy ageing. Such an approach can be organised differently, depending on the availability and organizational structures in the local context. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the effectiveness of a coordinated preventive care approach in various European settings. Objectives This study explored the effects of a coordinated preventive health and social care approach on the lifestyle, health and quality of life of community-dwelling older persons in five …
A coordinated preventive care approach for healthy ageing in five European cities: A mixed methods study of process evaluation components
2019
To evaluate specific process components of the Urban Health Centres Europe (UHCE) approach; a coordinated preventive care approach aimed at healthy ageing by decreasing falls, polypharmacy, loneliness and frailty among older persons in community settings of five cities in the United Kingdom, Greece, Croatia, the Netherlands and Spain.Mixed methods evaluation of specific process components of the UHCE approach: reach of the target population, dose of the intervention actually delivered and received by participants and satisfaction and experience of main stakeholders involved in the approach.The UHCE approach intervention consisted of a preventive assessment, shared decision-making on a care …

OBJECTIVES: To assess the internal consistency, convergent and divergent validity, and concurrent validity of the Tilburg Frailty Indicator (TFI) within community-dwelling older people in Spain, Greece, Croatia, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.DESIGN: Cross-sectional study.SETTING: Primary care and community settings.PARTICIPANTS: In total, 2250 community-dwelling older people (60.3% women; mean age = 79.7 years; standard deviation = 5.7).METHODS: We assessed the reliability and validity of the full TFI as well as its physical, psychological, and social domains. Baseline data of the Urban Health Centers Europe project were used. The internal consistency was assessed with the Cronbac…
Primary stroke prevention worldwide:translating evidence into action
2021
Abstract: Stroke is the second leading cause of death and the third leading cause of disability worldwide and its burden is increasing rapidly in low-income and middle-income countries, many of which are unable to face the challenges it imposes. In this Health Policy paper on primary stroke prevention, we provide an overview of the current situation regarding primary prevention services, estimate the cost of stroke and stroke prevention, and identify deficiencies in existing guidelines and gaps in primary prevention. We also offer a set of pragmatic solutions for implementation of primary stroke prevention, with an emphasis on the role of governments and population-wide strategies, includin…
Gustava Kluča diskurss Latvijas mākslas kultūras mantojumā: Rīgai - Eiropas kultūras galvaspilsētai - veltīto masu mediju materiālu analīze
2020
Bakalaura darba mērķis ir atklāt Gustava Kluča – izcilas personības - mākslas kolekciju kultūras mantojuma diskursu Eiropas kultūras galvaspilsētai Rīgai veltīto masu mediju materiālos. Teorētiskajā daļā tiek aplūkotas idejas par pagātnes interpretāciju, kultūras mantojuma procesiem un praksi, kā arī tiek skaidrota muzeja definīcija, muzeja misija un konstruktīvisma definīcija. Tiek apskatīta latviešu mākslinieku darbība ārpus Latvijas ̶ Padomju Krievijā 20.gs. 20.–30. gados, Kluča personība Latvijai un latviešiem, un viņa radošā mantojuma kolekcijas izveidošana Latvijā. Empīriskajā daļā pēc R. Vodakas (Ruth Wodak) piedāvātās diskursa vēsturiskās metodes (discourse-historical approach) tiek…
Non-redundant and redundant roles of cytomegalovirus gH/gL complexes in host organ entry and intra-tissue spread
2015
Herpesviruses form different gH/gL virion envelope glycoprotein complexes that serve as entry complexes for mediating viral cell-type tropism in vitro; their roles in vivo, however, remained speculative and can be addressed experimentally only in animal models. For murine cytomegalovirus two alternative gH/gL complexes, gH/gL/gO and gH/gL/MCK-2, have been identified. A limitation of studies on viral tropism in vivo has been the difficulty in distinguishing between infection initiation by viral entry into first-hit target cells and subsequent cell-to-cell spread within tissues. As a new strategy to dissect these two events, we used a gO-transcomplemented ΔgO mutant for providing the gH/gL/gO…
Ecological aspects of plants inhabiting Mediterranean cliffs. Challenges and prospects of life in vertical environments
2021
[ES] Esta tesis investiga las oportunidades, desafíos y limitaciones para la investigación en el campo de la ecología vegetal, en el contexto de los acantilados mediterráneos. En concreto, las especies casmofiticas, cuyos hábitats naturales se caracterizan por su acusada pendiente. Las laderas de las montañas de piedra caliza en la proximidad del mar, en la parte central y occidental del área mediterránea se consideran objetos de estudio. Los estudios se llevaron a cabo en los cinturones costeros de montaña de las costas del noroeste de Sicilia y la costa diánica en la Comunidad Valenciana. El primer capítulo, titulado "The complexity of environmental factors: cliff microclimate", investiga…

Naratīvs J. Ezeriņa un A. Eglīša novelēs
2020
Bakalaura darba centrā tiek izvirzītas latviešu rakstnieku Jāņa Ezeriņa un Anšlava Eglīša noveles, kurās tiek pētīti divi naratīva pamatelementi – redzespunkts jeb stāstītājs un personāži. Bakalaura darbs tiek balstīts naratoloģijas teorijā. Pētījuma mērķis ir atklāt naratīva struktūras raksturīgākās iezīmes radītajā redzespunktā jeb stāstītājā un personāžos Jāņa Ezeriņa un Anšlava Eglīša noveļu krājumos. Pētījuma uzdevumi ir apkopot un atlasīt nozīmīgāko naratīva teorētiķu par naratoloģijas teoriju, analizēt stāstītāju un personāžus novelēs, un izdarīt secinājumus. Rezultāti atklāj naratīva principus kādus autori izmanto noveļu krājumos.
