Using Temporal Expectation to Assess Auditory Streaming in Mice
2018
Auditory streaming is the process by which environmental sound is segregated into discrete perceptual objects. The auditory system has a remarkable capability in this regard as revealed in psychophysical experiments in humans and other primates. However, little is known about the underlying neuronal mechanisms, in part because of the lack of suitable behavioural paradigms in non-primate species. The mouse is an increasingly popular model for studying the neural mechanisms of perception and action because of the range of molecular tools enabling precise manipulation of neural circuitry. Here we present a novel behavioural task that can be used to assess perceptual aspects of auditory streami…
Predictors of changing patterns of adherence to containment measures during the early stage of COVID-19 pandemic: an international longitudinal study
2023
Abstract Background Identifying common factors that affect public adherence to COVID-19 containment measures can directly inform the development of official public health communication strategies. The present international longitudinal study aimed to examine whether prosociality, together with other theoretically derived motivating factors (self-efficacy, perceived susceptibility and severity of COVID-19, perceived social support) predict the change in adherence to COVID-19 containment strategies. Method In wave 1 of data collection, adults from eight geographical regions completed online surveys beginning in April 2020, and wave 2 began in June and ended in September 2020. Hypothesized pre…
Le livre audio en bibliothèque de lecture publique : dispositifs de médiation et formes de prescription d’un support « mineur »
2019
International audience; À partir d’une enquête sur les discours et pratiques liés au livre audio du côté d’usagers et de bibliothécaires menée à l’occasion d’un projet de recherche-action dans trois bibliothèques de lecture publique françaises, nous essayons dans cet article de faire avancer la réflexion autour de la notion de prescription, historiquement ancrée dans la figure du bibliothécaire, et de travailler en particulier les écarts entre la prescription d’un format qui reste un impensé de la profession et la médiation d’une expérience d’écoute de la littérature. Cet écart a des conséquences sur la manière dont les « audio lecteurs » parviennent à dire et à partager leurs pratiques. No…

Teaching audio‑visual translation at the “French Philology level 0” course: methods, contents, clues
 In the face of a sensible diminution of the number of high‑school graduates able to communicate in French well enough to follow the “classical” French Philology course, many Polish universities offer their students the possibility of studying “French Philology level 0”. One of the key skills developed by this course is translation, including basic audio‑visual translation competences. The paper shows some examples of translator training clues that have been worked out at the Opole University.
Dzelzceļa radītā trokšņa novērtējums Rīgā, Krievu salas apkārtnē: instrumentālie mērījumi un modelēšana
2022
Pieaugot dažādu transporta īpatsvaram uz auto un sliežu ceļiem, transporta radītā trokšņa piesārņojuma problemātika ir kļuvusi ar vien aktuālāka. Dzelzceļa transports ir viens no būtiskākajiem transporta radītā trokšņa piesārņojuma avotiem, ņemot vērā tā relatīvi augsto izplatību un radītā trokšņa raksturu. Maģistra darba ietvaros ir novērtēts dzelzceļā transporta radītā trokšņa piesārņojuma veicot instrumentālos mērījumus trokšņa avotā un dzīvojamajās zonās un modelējot tā izplatību apkārtējā vidē, izmantojot inženiertehnisko aprēķinu metodi, Rīgā, Krievu salā un tai pieguļošajās teritorijā. Novērtējums veikts metodikā noteiktajiem standarta un normatīvajā regulējumā Rīgai noteiktajiem vid…
Tubal function in divers and non-divers: case control study
2009
Background. The aim of this study was to examine whether recurrent scuba diving during the time and frequent use of Valsalva’s manoeuvre while diving, increase functionality of divers’ Eustachian Tube (ET) comparison with non-divers. Methods. The study included 30 experienced divers (G1), mean age 25,8 years, who were diving from over 10 years. The control group consisted of 30 non-divers (G2), mean age 31,3 years. Each sample underwent clinical examination to identify predisposing conditions to middle ear barotraumas and ET dysfunction. ET function has been investigated by Inflation-Deflation test that shows baseline tympanogram, a second tympanogram shifted of the peak towards positive va…
An Automatic Method for Assessing Spiking of Tibial Tubercles Associated with Knee Osteoarthritis
2022
Efficient and scalable early diagnostic methods for knee osteoarthritis are desired due to the disease’s prevalence. The current automatic methods for detecting osteoarthritis using plain radiographs struggle to identify the subjects with early-stage disease. Tibial spiking has been hypothesized as a feature of early knee osteoarthritis. Previous research has demonstrated an association between knee osteoarthritis and tibial spiking, but the connection to the early-stage disease has not been investigated. We study tibial spiking as a feature of early knee osteoarthritis. Additionally, we develop a deep learning based model for detecting tibial spiking from plain radiographs. We collected an…

Heme Oxygenase-1 and Blood Bilirubin Are Gradually Activated by Oral D-Glyceric Acid
2022
It has been shown that small doses of oral D-glyceric acid (DGA) activate mitochondrial metabolism and reduce inflammation among 50–60-year-old healthy volunteers. The present results with the same small doses reveal that after a 4-day DGA regimen, a dose of DGA activated the HO-1 pathway acutely, while enhanced inflammatory status after the 4-day DGA regimen seemed to be able to downregulate the HO-1 pathway in non-acute measurement. Blood bilirubin was strongly upregulated towards the end of the altogether 21-day study period with positive associations towards improved inflammation and reduced blood triglycerides. After the 4-day DGA regimen, hepatic inflow of blood bilirubin with albumin…
Subtitru tulkošanas paņēmienu analīze kolumbiešu seriālā „Mūzikas nindzjas”, tulkojot no spāņu uz latviešu valodu
2015
Bakalaura darbs ir veltīts subtitru tulkošanas paņēmienu analīzei tulkojot kolumbiešu seriālu “Mūzikas Nindzjas” no spāņu uz latviešu valodu. Darba mērķis ir analizēt tulkošanas paņēmienu izmantošanu, veicot gan tulkojuma kvalitatīvo, gan tulkojuma un oriģinālteksta salīdzinošo analīzi. Darba teorētiskajā daļā tiek pētīts audiovizuālās tulkošanas jēdziens, tā specifika, problemātika un ar to saistītās grūtības, kā arī īpaša uzmanība pievērsta subtitru izveides procesam. Tiek analizēta dažādu zinātnieku pieeja tulkošanas paņēmienu klasifikācijai. Praktiskā daļa ir veltīta empīriskā materiāla analīzei. Tiek izpētīti un analizēti Gotlība piedāvātie tulkošanas paņēmieni un to izmantošanas biežu…
