Parasitoids (Hymenoptera) of leaf-spinning moths (Lepidoptera) feeding on Vaccinium uliginosum L. along an ecological gradient in central European pe…
2011
Parasitoids of leaf-spinning Lepidoptera associated with two isolated central European peat bogs were investigated. Five families of parasitoid Hymenoptera (Braconidae, lchneumonidae, Eulophidae, Pteromalidae and Encyrtidae) were recorded. Three categories were recognised: (1) primary parasitoids, (2) facultative hyperparasitoids and (3) obligatory hyperparasitoids. Ten species of Braconidae, five species and seven marked morphospecies among lchneumonidae, and three species of Chalcidoidea were identified. Despite of some niche-specific (but less host-specific) parasitoids, all these hymenopterans are likely to be generalists and none of them were confirmed to be habitat and/or host special…
Augsto purvu apsaimniekošana bioloģiskās daudzveidības saglabāšanai Latvijā
2013
Augstie purvi Latvijā ir īpaša ekosistēma. Tie sākuši veidoties pirms apmēram 9000 gadu, līdz ar to purvi ietver informāciju par klimata un veģetācijas izmaiņām un cilvēka darbības atstātajām pēdām. Eiropas Savienībā augstā purva biotopi ir kļuvuši par prioritāri aizsargājamiem. Purvu aizsardzība ir nepieciešama, un tā jāturpina ne tikai Latvijā, bet arī citās Eiropas valstīs. Līdz ar to aktuāli ir purvu apsaimniekošanas pasākumi, kas veicina hidroloģiskā režīma stabilizēšanu un biotopu atjaunošanos.
Agenesis of the renal segment of inferior vena cava associated with venous stasis.
2010
Congenital anomalies of the inferior vena cava is an extremely rare vascular anomaly with controversial pathogenesis. Anomalies of the inferior vena cava (IVC) are present in 0.3% to 0.5% of otherwise healthy individual and in 0.6% to 2% of patients with other cardiovascular defects. The phenomenon of absence of the IVC has been described in a variety of ways such as absence, agenesis, anomalous, and interruption of a particular segment ([infra] hepatic, pre-renal, renal, or infrarenal) of the IVC. We describe a 42-year-old man with chronic venous insufficiency, without DVT, caused by congenital absence of renal segment of the IVC
Properties and structure of raised bog peat humic acids
2013
Abstract Humic substances form most of the organic components of soil, peat and natural waters, and their structure and properties differ very much depending on their source. The aims of this study are to characterize humic acids (HAs) from raised bog peat, to evaluate the homogeneity of peat HAs within peat profiles, and to study peat humification impact on properties of HAs. A major impact on the structure of peat HAs have lignin-free raised bog biota (dominantly represented by bryophytes of different origin). On diagenesis scale, peat HAs have an intermediate position between the living organic matter and coal organic matter, and their structure is formed in a process in which more labil…
Ética profesional y Logoeducación. El abogado de familia desde la filosofía de Viktor E. Frankl
2015
La reflexión sobre la labor del abogado de familia entendemos que hasta ahora se ha centrado más en cuestiones deontológicas que éticas, más en cuestiones estrictamente jurídicas que existenciales. Procediendo así se puede incurrir en un cierto reduccionismo. Frente a ello, somos conscientes de que su ética profesional ─en cuanto ética aplicada─ implica un diálogo interdisciplinar en el que deben participar no sólo los expertos en el ámbito jurídico sino también los especialistas de otros campos, así como los afectados que también deben expresar sus intereses. Desde este punto de vista interdisciplinar, el pensamiento del psiquiatra Viktor E. Frankl puede ser una valiosa aportación al citad…
Effect of the Alterations in Contractility and Morphology Produced by Atrial Fibrillation on the Thrombosis Potential of the Left Atrial Appendage
2021
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia mainly affecting the elderly population, which can lead to serious complications such as stroke, ischaemic attack and vascular dementia. These problems are caused by thrombi which mostly originate in the left atrial appendage (LAA), a small muscular sac protruding from left atrium. The abnormal heart rhythm associated with AF results in alterations in the heart muscle contractions and in some reshaping of the cardiac chambers. This study aims to verify if and how these physiological changes can establish hemodynamic conditions in the LAA promoting thrombus formation, by means of computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analyses. In particular, sinus …

Rapid recovery of invertebrate communities after ecological restoration of boreal mires
2015
Mire degradation due to drainage for forestry results in the loss of mire specialist species. To halt the loss in biodiversity, ecological restoration is needed and already implemented. However, a major challenge in ecological restoration is whether actions taken have the desired outcome. Key abiotic and biotic conditions for the successful restoration of invertebrate communities can be identified by testing the “Field of Dreams” hypothesis, which postulates that if a habitat is successfully restored, species will return. This study was conducted in nine boreal mires located in Eastern Finland, 1–3 years after restoration. Parts of each mire were drained for forestry during the 1960s and 19…
Classification of European bog vegetation of the Oxycocco-Sphagnetea class
2022
Aims: Classification of European bog vegetation (Oxycocco-Sphagnetea class); identification of diagnostic species for the class and vegetation subgroups (orders and alliances); development of an expert system for automatic classification of vegetation plots; and production of distribution maps of the Oxycocco-Sphagnetea class and its alliances. Location: Europe. Methods: A data set of vegetation-plot records was compiled to include various bog types over most of the European continent. An unsupervised classification (beta-flexible linkage method, Sørensen distance measure) and detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) ordination were applied. Formal definitions of syntaxa based on species pre…
Clinical Applications, Pitfalls, and Uncertainties of Thrombin Generation in the Presence of Platelets
2019
Platelet-dependent thrombin generation is a helpful tool to assess ex vivo the interaction between platelets and plasma coagulation factors in the initiation, amplification, and inhibition of thrombin generation (TG). This review article discusses the most relevant available data on the clinical applications of fluorogenic TG, the most widely used TG assay, performed in the presence of platelets, i.e., in platelet-rich plasma. With respect to prothrombotic states, arterial hypertension and obesity were the most prominent cardiovascular conditions linked to increased platelet-dependent TG. In addition, platelet-associated hypercoagulability, assessed by the TG assay, has been shown in indivi…
