Éléments d'analyse économique des faux diplômes

2007

Despite the fact that fake degrees have been used since the creation of legitimate diplomas, the fake degrees business is reaching epidemic proportions, notably because of globalization, new information and communication technologies and “diploma race”. We define the concept of fake degrees and distinguish different kinds of fakes. We also indicate the main functions of diplomas in the economic literature. We identify the supply and demand sides of the market of fake degrees and also consider other affected parties. We show that this growing business generates several negative spillovers that harm, among others, non traditional education institutions such as distance learning institutions a…

Attēlu fona modelēšanas algoritmi

2019

Datorredzes izpētes laukā ir sastopami dažādi izacinājumi, kas atstāj iespaidu uz fona modelēšanas algoritmu darbību. Piemēram, apgaismojuma maiņas, dinamisks fons un ēnas. Pie fona modelēšanas izaicinājumiem var pieskaītīt arī ar video filmēšanas tehniskajām grūtībām radītios izaicinājumus, pie kuriem pieder arī kompresijas artefakti. Taču, ir jāatzīmē, ka kompresijas artefaktu atstātāis efekts uz fona modelēšanas algoritmiem ir maz pētīts. Šī darba ietvaros tika pētīta kompresijas artefaktu atstātā ietekme uz dažiem fona modelēšanas algoritmiem. Izpētei tika izvēlēti divi algoritmi Mixture of Gaussians (MOG) un K-Nearest Neighbours (KNN), kas tika darbināti uz CDNET video datu kopas ar un…

LU Filoloģijas un filozofijas fakultātes bibliotēkas krājuma veidošanās pirmskara periodā

2017

The faculties of the humanities of the newly established University of Latvia had to create their libraries from the ground up, as opposed to the technical libraries who had partly preserved the stocks from the departments of the predecessor, the RPI. Books for the library of the Faculty of Philology and Philosophy were obtained through governmental allocations, purchases, and donations, and so it grew from 350 books in 1919 to more than 40 thousand in 1939. This article explores the first years of the formation of library holdings.

Information disorder. Learning to recognize fake news

2022

The advent of the internet and digital platforms has revolutionised the way information is produced and disseminated. The aim of this paper was to examine whether it is possible to draw from Article 21 of the Italian Constitution that there is a right to good information, as an expression of the rights to be informed and to receive information. It also looked at what form of regulation is possible for the dissemination of information on the Web in order to ensure that it is true, objective, and unbiased and whether public- only regulation, private- only regulation or a form of co- regulation, which seems to be model chosen in the EU’s draft Regulation, the so- called Digital Services Act, i…

Conduct disorder and ADHD: evaluation of conduct problems as a categorical and quantitative trait in the international multicentre ADHD genetics stud…

2008

Contains fulltext : 71374.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is typically characterized by inattention, excessive motor activity, impulsivity, and distractibility. Individuals with ADHD have significant impairment in family and peer relations, academic functioning, and show high co-morbidity with a wide range of psychiatric disorders including oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), conduct disorder (CD), anxiety disorder, depression, substance abuse, and pervasive developmental disorder (PDD). Family studies suggest that ADHD + CD represents a specific subtype of the ADHD disorder with familial risk factors only partly overlapping with t…

Meta-analysis of genome-wide linkage scans of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

2008

Contains fulltext : 69243.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) Genetic contribution to the development of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is well established. Seven independent genome-wide linkage scans have been performed to map loci that increase the risk for ADHD. Although significant linkage signals were identified in some of the studies, there has been limited replications between the various independent datasets. The current study gathered the results from all seven of the ADHD linkage scans and performed a Genome Scan Meta Analysis (GSMA) to identify the genomic region with most consistent linkage evidence across the studies. Genome-wide significant linkage (P(S…

No association between two polymorphisms of the serotonin transporter gene and combined type attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

2008

Contains fulltext : 71091.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) Several independent studies have reported association between serotonin transporter gene (SLC6A4) polymorphisms and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Five studies found evidence for association between the long-allele of a 44-bp insertion/deletion polymorphism (5-HTTLPR) and ADHD. Another two studies corroborated this finding while a further six studies did not find such an association. For a second polymorphism within the gene, a variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) within intron 2, one study demonstrated that the 12/12 genotype was significantly less frequent in ADHD cases compared to controls, while a sec…

Identification and characterization of novel associations in the CASP8/ALS2CR12 region on chromosome 2 with breast cancer risk.

2014

Previous studies have suggested that polymorphisms in CASP8 on chromosome 2 are associated with breast cancer risk. To clarify the role of CASP8 in breast cancer susceptibility, we carried out dense genotyping of this region in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC). Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) spanning a 1 Mb region around CASP8 were genotyped in 46 450 breast cancer cases and 42 600 controls of European origin from 41 studies participating in the BCAC as part of a custom genotyping array experiment (iCOGS). Missing genotypes and SNPs were imputed and, after quality exclusions, 501 typed and 1232 imputed SNPs were included in logistic regressionmodels adjusting for stud…
