Analysis of the unpredictable migration of impacted mandibular third molars: A pilot study
2020
Background Eruption of an impacted mandibular third molar (3MM) is often unpredictable. The objective of this study was to establish the radiographic parameters of migration in patients whose 3MMs evolved unpredictably. Material and Methods This was a retrospective observational study. Patients with unusual 3MM migration (away from their physiological eruption position with changes in the longitudinal and horizontal axes) and with at least two panoramic radiographs were included. To evaluate the radiographic parameters, images were superimposed, using mandibular angle and ipsilateral condyle as references. Results Of a total of 2851 patients, four were included in our study. The average age…
Monthly Hydrological Indicators to Assess Possible Alterations on Rivers’ Flow Regime
2018
Assessing potential deviations of the fundamental river basins’ hydrological processes and streamflow characteristics from the “natural trajectory” represents a high-priority objective to understand the biological impact of altered flow regime on river ecosystems. Existing approaches are mainly based on the analysis of daily-based indicators of hydrologic alteration, which requires wide database, including “pre-impact” and “post-impact” daily flow data frequently unavailable. The hydrological modeling is commonly used to face data missing problems or reconstruct natural conditions, even if models, especially at the daily scales, are often complex and computationally intensive. The use of si…
Impacts écologiques des formes d'urbanisation : modélisations urbaines et paysagères
2015
The global increase of urbanization during the past decades have induced a progressive artificialization of natural environments. The building of transport infrastructures and new housings causes a landscape fragmentation in an irreversible way and a strong decrease of the connectivity of ecological habitats. Maintaining the functionality of ecological networks is becoming a major goal of sustainable urban planning policies. With a special focus on urban evolutions in the horizon 2030 in the urban area of Besançon in eastern France (residential development and road traffic evolutions), this thesis aims to assess the potential impact of urban forms on landscape connectivity of animal species…
The importance of creative industry agglomerations in explaining the wealth of European Regions
2012
[EN] This paper examines the existence of regional agglomerations of manufacturing, service and creative industries, the relationship between these industries and the wealth of regions and their industrial structure. Through an analysis of 250 European regions, three important conclusions can be inferred from the results obtained in this paper. The first is that creative industries play an important role in the wealth of a region. The second is that the most creative regions are characterized by having more high-tech manufacturing industries than the rest of the regions although the number of low-tech manufacturing firms is similar. Lastly, the industrial structure of each region has a grea…
Towards an Assessment of Public Library Value
2010
PurposeThis paper aims to present a methodology, early findings, possible applications of results and lessons learned from the research study “Public libraries: value, trust and satisfaction”, which has been conducted within the public library development project ‘Father's Third Son’ in Latvia.Design/methodology/approachA combination of quantitative and qualitative methods was used (although the findings reported here are largely drawn from the quantitative study) drawing on various theories of information behaviour and use‐oriented information service evaluation.FindingsThe study gives a good picture of user information needs in Latvia, the sources they use to fulfil them and the role of p…

Methodology for the estimation of the increase in time loss due to future increase in tropical cyclone intensity in Japan
2009
Published version of an article from the journal: Climatic Change. The original publication is available at Spingerlink. http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10584-009-9725-9 The present paper develops a methodology for estimating the risks and consequences of possible future increases in tropical cyclone intensities that would allow policy makers to relatively quickly evaluate the cost of different mitigation strategies. The methodology simulates future tropical cyclones by modifying the intensity of historical tropical cyclones between the years 1978 and 2007. It then uses a Monte Carlo Simulation to obtain the expected number of hours that a certain area can expect to be affected by winds of a giv…
Ietekmes uz vidi samazināšanas iespējas elektromontāžas uzņēmumā SIA "ARKO EL".
2018
Bakalaura darbā apskatīta elektroenerģijas ražošanas ietekmes uz vidi problemātika pasaulē, veikta datu analīze, pētīta enerģijas ražošanas alternatīvas no atjaunojamajiem resursiem un analizēta citu valstu pieredze, pakāpeniski atsakoties no fosilā kurināmā elektroenerģijas ražošanā. Izpētīts Eiropas Savienības un Latvijas elektroenerģētikas nozares regulējums, atbalsta programmas un iespējamais-prognozētais ietekmes uz vidi samazinājums līdz 2030.gadam. Veikta ekspertu aptauja, kuras rezultātā noskaidroti četri energoefektīvākie risinājumi uzņēmuma “ARKO EL” ilgtspējīgas, videi draudzīgākas saimniekošanas nodrošināšanai. Rezultāti liecina, ka ieviešot apskatītās, pēc ekspertu atzinuma ene…
Apvienošanās un iegādes mobilās telekomunikāciju rūpniecībā Gana: motivācija un ietekme uz uzņēmumu
2020
Pētījuma pamatotība ir saistīta ar apvienošanās un pārņemšanas (M & A) motīvu un ietekmes noteikšanu telekomunikāciju nozarē Ganā. Ganas telekomunikāciju nozarē ir bijuši daži ieguvumi, kuriem ir tendence negatīvi ietekmēt ekonomiku, kā arī šāda biznesa stratēģiskā lēmuma motīvu neskaidrība. Nepareizi interpretēti motīvi parasti negatīvi ietekmē iegādi un apvienošanos noteiktā laika posmā. Tas notiek tāpēc, ka nespēj noskaidrot motīvus un uzzināt naudas vai kapitāla ieņēmumu summu, kas nepieciešama ieguldījumiem procesā, lai realizētu savus mērķus. Whiles dažas apvienošanās ir izrādījušās vērtīgas šajā procesā, citas nav attaisnojušās vēlamajām cerībām. Tas ir, ka daudz darbinieku pēc apvie…
Sociālās un ekonomiskās ietekmes ezeru attīrīšanā un labiekārtošanā.
2015
Bakalaura darba „Sociālās un ekonomiskās ietekmes ezeru attīrīšanā un labiekārtošanā” mērķis ir izprast ezeru un to ekosistēmu nozīmīgumu, regulējošās un atbalsta funkcijas, izanalizēt sociālos un ekonomiskos ieguvumus veicot ieguldījumus ezera infrastruktūras un tur mītošo zivju sugu pavairošanas projektos. Bakalaura darba uzdevumos ietilpst ekosistēmu darbības principu apskate, šā brīža makšķerēšanas nozares un ezeru stāvokļa un to problēmu apzināšanās, kā arī ārzemēs veikto pētniecisko darbu analīze un aptaujas rezultātu analizēšana. Lai spētu sniegt ieteikumus Smiltenes ezeru attīrīšanas un labiekārtošanas plāna projekta realizēšanai, tiek izpētīts Katvaru ezera apsaimniekošanas modelis…
