Past, Present and Future Perspectives on Halloysite Clay Minerals
2020
Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs), clay minerals belonging to the kaolin groups, are emerging nanomaterials which have attracted the attention of the scientific community due to their interesting features, such as low-cost, availability and biocompatibility. In addition, their large surface area and tubular structure have led to HNTs’ application in different industrial purposes. This review reports a comprehensive overview of the historical background of HNT utilization in the last 20 years. In particular it will focus on the functionalization of the surfaces, both supramolecular and covalent, following applications in several fields, including biomedicine, environmental science and catalysis.
A model of COVID-19 pandemic evolution in African countries
2021
We studied the COVID-19 pandemic evolution in selected African countries. For each country considered, we modeled simultaneously the data of the active, recovered and death cases. In this study, we used a year of data since the first cases were reported. We estimated the time-dependent basic reproduction numbers, $R_0$, and the fractions of infected but unaffected populations, to offer insights into containment and vaccine strategies in African countries. We found that $R_0\leq 4$ at the start of the pandemic but has since fallen to $R_0 \sim 1$. The unaffected fractions of the populations studied vary between $1-10$\% of the recovered cases.

Toxicity as prime selection criterion among SARS-active herbal medications
2021
We present here a new selection criterion for prioritizing research on efficacious drugs for the fight against COVID-19: the relative toxicity versus safety of herbal medications, which were effective against SARS in the 2002/2003 epidemic. We rank these medicines according to their toxicity versus safety as basis for preferential rapid research on their potential in the treatment of COVID-19. The data demonstrate that from toxicological information nothing speaks against immediate investigation on, followed by rapid implementation of Lonicera japonica, Morus alba, Forsythia suspensa, and Codonopsis spec. for treatment of COVID-19 patients. Glycyrrhiza spec. and Panax ginseng are ranked in …
Maximal subgroups and PST-groups
2013
A subgroup H of a group G is said r to permute with a subgroup K of G if HK is a subgroup of G. H is said to be permutable (resp. S-permutable) if it permutes with all the subgroups (resp. Sylow subgroups) of G. Finite groups in which permutability (resp. S-permutability) is a transitive relation are called PT-groups (resp. PST-groups). PT-, PST- and T-groups, or groups in which normality is transitive, have been extensively studied and characterised. Kaplan [Kaplan G., On T-groups, supersolvable groups, and maxmial subgroups, Arch. Math. (Basel), 2011, 96(1), 19-25)] presented some new characterisations of soluble T-groups. The main goal of this paper is to establish PT- and PST-versions o…
Starppriekšmetu un savstarpējās sadarbības projekti angļu valodas rakstīšanas prasmju pilnveidei 9.klasē
2022
Sākoties jaunajam mācību gadam, pakāpeniska jaunā mācību satura ieviešana ir kļuvusi par vienu no svarīgākajām sarunu tēmām skolās. Projekta Skola2030 mērķis bija attīstīt skolēniem vairākas svarīgas 21. gadsimta prasmes, kā arī koncentrēt uzmanību uz mācību priekšmetu padziļinātu izpratni un padziļināti izprast mācību vielu nevis sadrumstaloti. 2020./2021. mācību gadu skolēni pavadīja attālināti, un tas sagādāja grūtības attīstīt rakstīšanas prasmes angļu valodas mācību stundās. Tāpēc tika izvēlēta daudznozaru un savstarpējās sadarbības pieeja, lai attīstītu visas nepieciešamās prasmes. Tika veikts gadījuma pētījums, kurā piedalījās 14 skolēni no 9. klases, 7 dažādu mācību priekšmetu skolo…
"Trygghet i det utrygge" : en kvalitativ studie av intensivsykepleierens møte med pårørende
2014
Masteroppgave i spesialsykepleie – Universitetet i Agder 2014 Acute admittance of critically ill patients can often instigate a feeling of vulnerability in the next of kin and strong feelings related to the situation are often the reaction. One of the tasks of the intensive care nurse is to guide the next of kin through their experience and meet their needs as well as the patients. Aim and objective The aim of the study was to investigate and enlighten the role of the intensive care nurse when meeting the next of kin of critically ill patients during the first 24 hours after admittance to intensive care unit in Norway. Objective (research question): How does the intensive care nurse encount…
European ADPKD Forum multidisciplinary position statement on autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease care
2018
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a chronic, progressive condition characterized by the development and growth of cysts in the kidneys and other organs and by additional systemic manifestations. Individuals with ADPKD should have access to lifelong, multidisciplinary, specialist and patient-centred care involving: (i) a holistic and comprehensive assessment of the manifestations, complications, prognosis and impact of the disease (in physical, psychological and social terms) on the patient and their family; (ii) access to treatment to relieve symptoms, manage complications, preserve kidney function, lower the risk of cardiovascular disease and maintain quality of life;…
3 – 4 GADUS VECU BĒRNU POZITĪVAS DISCIPLINĒŠANAS PAŅĒMIENI PIRMSSKOLĀ
2022
Diploma darbs “3 – 4 gadus vecu bērnu pozitīvas disciplinēšanas paņēmieni pirmsskolā” ir izstrādāts, lai izprastu un izpētītu, kā efektīvāk attīstīt 3 – 4 gadus vecu bērnu pozitīvus disciplinēšanas paņēmienus ikdienā, kas palīdzētu ikdienas darbā ne tikai pedagogiem, bet arī vecākiem.. Bērniem, kam pozitīvi paņēmieni disciplinēšanai netiek izmantoti regulāri, mēdz būt neatbilstošas, kā arī negatīvas uzvedības izpausmes, tāpēc pedagogiem un vecākiem ir jāspēj būt atbalstošiem, kā arī zinošiem par 3 – 4 gadus vecu bērnu fizisko, emocionālo un sociālo attīstību. Diploma darba autore Elīza Dzene. Zinātniskā darba vadītāja Dr.psych., prof. Tija Zīriņa. Diploma darba mērķis: teorētiski pētīt un p…
