Ārtelpas gaismas piesārņojuma novērtējums Rīgā, Vecmīlgrāvja un Sarkandaugavas pilottteritorijās
2022
Gaismas piesārņojums mūsdienās tiek uzskatīts par vienu no visstraujāk augošajiem vides piesārņojuma veidiem, kam piemīt negatīva ietekme gan uz apkārtējo vidi, gan cilvēka labklājību. Tomēr Latvijā gaismas piesārņojums joprojām ir relatīvi mazizpētīts jautājums. Bakalaura darba mērķis ir noskaidrot antropogēni radītā gaismas piesārņojuma līmeni divās Rīgas pieostas apkaimju – Vecmīlgrāvja un Sarkandaugavas – pilotteritorijās diennakts tumšajā laikā. Lai realizētu bakalaura darbā izvirzīto mērķi, tika veikti tiešie piezemes apgaismojuma mērījumi un nakts debesu spilgtuma mērījumi, kā arī gaismas piesārņojuma veidu un avotu kvalitatīva novērtēšana pilotteritorijās. Iegūtie rezultāti liecina …

Credit, Debt and FInances of the Queen's Household in the Crown of Aragon at the End of the Fourteenth Century. The Agreement between the Queen Viola…
2018
A finales del siglo XIV la tesorería de la reina Violante de Bar padecía de un fuerte endeudamiento que imposibilitaba prácticamente cualquier pago, por lo que se decidió cambiar la dirección de la gestión económica de la Casa de la reina. En el presente artículo analizaremos las estrategias para solucionar el problema del endeudamiento, mediante la edición y el análisis de los excepcionales capítulos y memoriales firmados por la reina Violante y su nuevo tesorero, Berenguer de Cortilles, uno de sus mayores acreedores privados. At the end of the Fourteenth century, Queen’s treasury in the Crown of Aragon suffered from a heavy debt that made virtually impossible any ordinary payment. As a re…
Main intrinsic factors driving land grabbing in the African countries’ agro-food industry
2022
Land grabbing is a phenomenon that has spread widely over the last two decades and which involves rich and emerging countries and international companies as protagonists in the large-scale acquisition of land in developing countries. Through the development of an econometric model that takes into account the annual size of land grabbing in the African countries, the research aims to understand the main intrinsic factors, linked to the hosting countries, that guide the large-scale acquisition of land by foreign investors. Results show that the presence of a high debt towards foreign organisations, the high availability of virgin lands, the strong vocation of the hosting country for the culti…
Visual dynamic environment for distributed systems
2002
Algorithms, based on information fusion, are often embodied in visual perception systems. Distributed architectures have been recently proposed to perform integrated computation. The complexity of distributed systems regards both their design, and the software environment to develop applications. Visual and iconic programming style intends to provide expressive tools to implement, to debug, and to execute programs in distributed environment. Multi-layers graphs languages seem suitable to handle such complexity. This paper describes the design of a visual dynamic environment (VDE), which is based on a graph-grammar. A new class of dynamic visual interfaces is also introduced, and its propert…

Codebook is an effective image representation method. By clustering in local image descriptors, a codebook is shown to be a distinctive image feature and widely applied in object classification. In almost all existing works on codebooks, the building of the visual vocabulary follows a basic routine, that is, extracting local image descriptors and clustering with a user-designated number of clusters. The problem with this routine lies in that building a codebook for each single dataset is not efficient. In order to deal with this problem, we investigate the influence of vocabulary sizes on classification performance and vocabulary universality with the kNN classifier. Experimental results in…
Invasive maxillary sinus aspergillosis: a case report successfully treated with voriconazole and surgical debridement
2014
Introduction: Invasive aspergillosis of the paranasal sinuses is a rare disease and often misdiagnosed; however, its incidence has seen substancial growth over the past 2 decades. Definitive diagnosis of these lesions is based on histological examination and fungal culture. Case Report: An 81-year-old woman with a history of pain in the left maxillary region is presented. The diagnosis was invasive maxillary aspergillosis in immunocompetent patient, which was successfully treated with voriconazole and surgical debridement. Possible clinical manifestations, diagnostic imaging techniques and treatment used are discussed. Since the introduction of voriconazole, there have been several reports …
