Stand structure and spatial pattern of regeneration of Pinus sylvestris in a natural treed mire in Latvia
2009
We examined the regeneration patterns of Pinus sylvestris L. in a natural treed mire in the hemiboreal zone in Latvia. Data on tree stem age and size was collected in 207 fine-scale plots (10 m) and 4 medium-scale plots (400 m). Size structure of living and dead trees was also estimated on transects 180-m and 250-m length and 10-m width. In addition, the vegetation was described in 1-m plots to determine preferred microsites for P. sylvestris establishment. Pinus sylvestris showed continuous regeneration by an inverse J-shaped age and size structure. Pulses of mortality induced by fire were also evident. Regeneration of P. sylvestris was mostly on Sphagnum magellanicam Brid. hummocks free o…
A method for taxonomic determination ofCandida albicans with DNA probes
1993
Determination of Candida species represents an important problem derived from the clinical implications of the species belonging to this genus. DNA probes have already been used for the epidemiology of Candida albicans, as well as for taxonomic analysis of Candida and other genera, although these probes are based on non-species-specific DNA sequences. In this work we carried out a 48-h assay, allowing the identification of C. albicans from clinical isolates, using DNA probes based on C. albicans LEU2 and URA3 genes. Another probe related to C. albicans SEC18 gene was shown not to be C. albicans specific.
A screening of five Bacillus thuringiensis Vip3A proteins for their activity against lepidopteran pests
2014
Five Bacillus thuringiensis Vip3A proteins (Vip3Aa, Vip3Ab, Vip3Ad, Vip3Ae and Vip3Af) and their corresponding trypsin-activated toxins were tested for their toxicity against eight lepidopteran pests: Agrotis ipsilon, Helicoverpa armigera, Mamestra brassicae, Spodoptera exigua, Spodoptera frugiperda, Spodoptera littoralis, Ostrinia nubilalis and Lobesia botrana. Toxicity was first tested at a high dose at 7 and 10. days. No major differences were found when comparing protoxins vs. trypsin-activated toxins. The proteins that were active against most of the insect species were Vip3Aa, Vip3Ae and Vip3Af, followed by Vip3Ab. Vip3Ad was non-toxic to any of the species tested. Considering the res…
Sūkalu kā alternatīva substrāta novērtējums bakteriālās celulozes iegūšanai.
2021
Bakteriāla celuloze (BC) ir biopolimērs ar plašu pielietošanas potenciālu, sākot no pārtikas rūpniecības un biomedicīnas līdz elektronikai un kosmētikai. Neskatoties uz to, BC rūpnieciskā ražošana joprojām ir saistīta ar zināmām grūtībām. Viena no tām ir bakteriālo barotņu augstās izmaksas, kas var sasniegt pat 30% no ražošanas izmaksām. Ražošanas izmaksu samazināšanai kā alternatīvu augšanas vidi var izmantot rūpniecības un lauksaimniecības blakusproduktus, tostarp sūkalas. Pētījumi šajā jomā ir joprojām fragmentāri un nepietiekami. Šajā pētījumā sūkalas tika novērtētas ka alternatīvs substrāts BC iegūšanai. Iegūtie rezultāti liecina, ka lielāku BC sintēzi (1,95 ± 0,15 g/L, sausais svars) …
Beyond the screen
2021
Our didactic experiences in the field of architectural design, in courses that have always had a strong workshop character, have been varied in recent years and have been carried out in different variants that, when considered as a whole, allow us to reflect on the problems and the challenges faced during the pandemic. Indeed, a didactic normally conducted with compulsory attendance suffered in a sudden and unexpected way from the cancellation of physical presence, the loss of contact with people and the “corporeality” of the project. Moreover, the absence of the physical space of the classroom (a scene inherent to the laboratory) soon led to the search for new tools and appropriate methods…

Abstract Effect of Short-Term Guided Aerobic Exercise and Diet Intervention on Overweight Women Kauko, Kirsi LLTS007 Master’s Thesis of Sport Medicine University of Jyväskylä, Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences, Department of Health Sciences Spring 2010, 68 pages, 6 appendices Overweight or obese persons have substantially increased risk for multiple chronic disorders, for example type 2 diabetes (T2D), dyslipidemia, hypertension and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Physical activity or exercise has an important role in the prevention and treatment of obesity related illnesses, for example T2D, CVD and metabolic syndrome (MetS). The main goal of this Master’s thesis is to study the possible …
Relationships of BMI, muscle-to-fat ratio, and handgrip strength-to-BMI ratio to physical fitness in Spanish children and adolescents
2023
AbstractThis study aimed to determine the relationship of body mass index (BMI), muscle-to-fat ratio (MFR), and handgrip strength-to-BMI ratio to physical fitness parameters in an active young population according to sex across four different time points. A total of 2256 Spanish children and adolescents (aged 5–18) from rural areas participating in an extracurricular sport in different municipal sports schools participated in this study. Participants were divided into children (5–10 years) and adolescents (11–18 years), boys and girls, and across four different time points (2018, 2019, 2020, 2021). Data on anthropometric measures (BMI, MFR, appendicular skeletal muscle mass) and physical fi…
Encyklopedyczna wykładnia symboliki orła w twórczości Mikołaja Reja i Marcina Bielskiego
2018
Tematem artykułu jest symbolika orła rozpatrywana na tle dawnej tradycji encyklopedycznej. Zestawienie erudycyjnych treści z zakresu historii naturalnej z fragmentami dzieł Mikołaja Reja i Marcina Bielskiego przynosi interesujące spostrzeżenia. Powszechnie wiadomo, że uniwersalny charakter symboliki orła jako emblematu władzy w kulturze staropolskiej zajmował wyjątkowe miejsce w heraldycznym zwierzyńcu. Jednakże, alegoryczne wykładnie związane z motywem tego królewskiego ptaka w utworach naszych pisarzy okazują się wykraczać poza tradycyjnie przyjęte interpretacje. Wydaje się bowiem, że symbol orła w poetyckim ujęciu Reja i Bielskiego stanowił przede wszystkim emblemat ptaka niebieskiego, c…
