Visual kei žanra pretrunas Japānas populārajā kultūrā un mūzikā mūsdienās
2019
Bakalaura darba tēma Visual kei žanra pretrunas Japānas populārajā kultūrā un mūzikā mūsdienās izvēlēta ar mērķi izpētīt un iepazīstināt latviešu auditoriju ar unikālu, vizuāli spēcīgu, muzikāli sociālu kustību, kura joprojām ir saglabājusi savu vietu Japānas populārajā kultūrā, kā arī noskaidrot, pret kādām sabiedrības normām Visual kei ir negatīva nostāja. Visual kei ir mūsdienu nišas mūzikas žanrs un subkultūra, kuru mēdz attiecināt kā uz underground jeb pazemes mūzikas novirzienu, muzikāli pārkāpjot jebkādus mūzikas žanros pieņemtos standartus. Šis žanrs radies, ietekmējoties no diviem nozīmīgiem japāņu medijiem anime (multiplikācija) un manga (stāstījums ar grafiskiem attēliem). To rak…

An international genome-wide meta-analysis of primary biliary cholangitis: Novel risk loci and candidate drugs.
2021
[BACKGROUND & AIMS] Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic liver disease in which autoimmune destruction of the small intra-hepatic bile ducts eventually leads to cirrhosis. Many patients have inadequate response to licensed medications, motivating the search for novel therapies. Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and meta-analyses (GWMA) of PBC have identified numerous risk loci for this condition, providing insight into its aetiology. We undertook the largest GWMA of PBC to date, aiming to identify additional risk loci and prioritise candidate genes for in silico drug efficacy screening. [METHODS] We combined new and existing genotype data for 10, 516 cases and 20, 77…

Mitochondrial and redox dysfunction in post-menopause as risk factor of neurodegenerative disease: a pilot study testing the role of a validated Japa…
2020
During the menopause women may experience increased oxidative stress and decreased antioxidant capacity and, together with the decline of neurosteroids, this represents a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. The aim of the present study was to test a functional food (FPP-ORI, Osato Research Institute, Gifu, Japan) on redox and mitochondrial efficiency in post-menopausal women. The study population consisting of 69 untreated post-menopausal women were given supplements as follows: Group A was given a multivitamin (MV) 1c 2 times a day, and group B was given FPP 4.5 g 2 times a day. Group C consisted of 23 fertile premenopausal women as the control group. The tests carried out on entry, and a…
A cross-country examination of emotional eating, restrained eating and intuitive eating: Measurement Invariance across eight countries
2020
This study examined the measurement invariance of three scales that assessed emotional eating, restrained eating, and intuitive eating across eight countries (Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Italy, Japan, Spain and the United States) in order to determine their suitability for cross-country body image research. A total of 6272 young adults took part in this study. Participants completed an online survey including the Emotional Eating subscale of the Three Factor Eating Questionnaire-Revised 21, the Restraint subscale of the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire, and the Reliance on Hunger and Satiety Cues subscale of The Intuitive Eating Scale-2. Multi-group confirmatory factor analy…
