Methodological advances in the functional profiling of genomic studies
2013
In this thesis we present bioinformatic tools and algorithms for the analysis of genomic data such as those generated by microarray devices or next generation sequencing techniques. Particularly, we develop new approaches to gene set analysis. The described procedures should be useful in practice to tackle complex biological experiments, but hopefully will also be methodologically relevant, as they introduce new ways of conceptualizing genomic functional profiling. Our very flexible approach allows for the inclusion of not just one kind of genomic measurement but many. It makes possible, for instance, to analyze expression measurement and genomic variation data at a time. This multidimensio…
An Information Systems Design Product Theory for Software Project Estimation and Measurement Systems
2009
There is relatively little research on software Project Estimation and Measurement Systems (PEMS). Commercial PEMS vary in functionality and effectiveness. Their intended users thus do not know what to expect from PEMS and how to evaluate them. This paper creates an information system design product theory for the class of PEMS that prescribes the meta-requirements, the meta-design, and applicable theories for all products within the class. Meta-requirements and the meta-design are derived from the project estimation and measurement literature, experiences obtained during more than ten years of empirical work in Finnish Software Measurement Association, and a commercially available PEMS.
Effects of Functional Strength Training on Functional Movement and Balance in Middle-Aged Adults
2021
Functional movement deficiencies cause falls and injuries in adults. Functional strength training (FST) is emerging as a new training method for athletes, middle-aged and older adults, to improve functional movement: The present study was conducted in order to investigate the effects of FST on balance and functional movement in healthy and independent middle-aged adults. The sample for this study consisted of 46 physically active individuals (24 female and 22 male). A total of 46 subjects were divided based on randomly into the functional strength training (FST) group (n = 26) aged: 51.55 ± 3.73 years; height: 168.69 ± 8.8 cm; body mass: 75.88 ± 12.18; and traditional s…
Infografikas skolēnu funkcionālās rakstīšanas prasmju pilnveidei 5. klases angļu valodas stundās
2020
Angļu valoda ir nostiprinājusies kā pasaules starptautiskā valoda. Tomēr, lai gūtu panākumus visās ikdienas dzīves jomās, ir nepieciešams apgūt rakstisko komunikāciju, jeb funkcionālās rakstīšanas prasmes. Neskatoties uz to, ka skolēni skolas laikā tiek mācīti rakstīt, viņi bieži izprot funkcionālās rakstīšanas principus un likumus ar lielām grūtībām. Tāpēc diplomdarba mērķis bija izpētīt efektīvas mācīšanas pieejas, lai uzlabotu 5. klases skolēnu funkcionālās rakstīšanas prasmes ar pašu veidotu infografiku palīdzību. Izvēlētā pētījuma metode bija gadījuma izpēte, kura ietvēra vienu anketu skolēniem un skolēnu rakstiskos darbus kā datu vākšanas metodes. Tika noskaidrots, ka funkcionālās rak…
Radiation engineered nanogels as platforms for medical diagnostics and therapeutic nanodevices
2015
A scalable, single step, synthetic approach for the manufacture of biocompatible, functionalized microgels and nanogels has been developed. Pulsed EB irradiation of PVP aqueous solutions, at relatively low energies per pulse and doses within the sterilization dose range, has led to a variety of ‘as-born’ sterile, functional nanostructures that exhibit a combination of favourable properties which make them suitable as biomedical nanocarriers. Reactive functional groups have been generated by graft copolymerization of functional acrylic monomers. These groups can be used to attach fluorescent probes to the NPs, to bioconjugate ligands of specific cell receptors and to incorporate therapeutics…

INTERACTIONS BETWEEN FUNCTIONALIZED THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMER AND LAYERED DOUBLE HYDROXIDES
2016
Results coming from rheological analysis clearly suggest that in SEBS-g-MA-based nanocomposites, containing high amount of o-LDH, the formation of strong interactions between the dispersed nanoparticles and maleic functionalities of matrix occurs. A significant modification of the rheological behaviour can be noticed due to the formation of gel-like structures.
Assembly and functioning of endophytic bacterial communities in arcto-alpine pioneer plant Oxyria digyna
2019
Plant microbiomes consist of diverse communities of microorganisms, among which bacteria are highly abundant. The microbiomes are crucial for plants as they rely on their microbial associates for many essential functions. The goal of this thesis was to study the functional diversity and assembly rules of endophytic bacterial communities in different plant tissues of the arcto-alpine pioneer plant species, Oxyria digyna. I used high-throughput sequencing and bacterial isolations to characterize the endophytic communities in the leaves and roots of native O. digyna plants (wild plants) and micropropagated aseptic plants (bait plants) in the field. Wild plants and tissue-propagated bait plants…

Wpływ wad procesu ustawodawczego na założone funkcje prawa finansowego
2023
Celem opracowania było wskazanie wybranych wad procesu legislacyjnego w zakresie tworzenia przepisów prawa finansowego, tj. regulacji odnoszących się do publicznej działalności finansowej, a także próba oceny wpływu tych uchybień na założone funkcje stanowionych unormowań. Ze względu na ograniczone ramy artykułu zakresem badania objęto wyłącznie fazę postępowania prawodawczego w Sejmie. Analizie poddano ustawy uchwalone w IX kadencji Sejmu, a katalog form naruszeń procesu ustawodawczego ograniczono do obejścia przepisów regulujących wykonywanie inicjatywy ustawodawczej oraz niezachowania wymogu rozpatrywania projektów ustaw w trzech czytaniach. Ponieważ termin „funkcje prawa” jest daleki od…
