El alma nunca piensa sin fantasmas. Sobre el concepto de psique en Castoriadis
2012
La antropología filosófica de Castoriadis postula la imaginación como facultad productora de sentido, más radical que la propia racionalidad, y considera indisociables lo psíquico y lo social-histórico. Se trata de una filosofía de la praxis, que aspira al desarrollo de una subjetividad reflexiva y deliberante. Combina para ello aportaciones del psicoanálisis con la reflexión filosófica en torno al problema del sentido y el proyecto de autonomía. Sin embargo, la tradición filosófica no ha considerado la importancia de la imaginación tanto en la constitución autónoma del sujeto como de las sociedades. La autonomía (psicológica y social) debe estar vinculada a las posibilidades de ruptura de …
Mitigating the Climate Change Impacts of Aviation through Behavioural Change
2020
Aviation plays a crucial role for economic development and social welfare, but at the same time it also significantly contributes to climate change. Therefore, if the industry wants to follow the same growth path as it has in the past, it will need to mitigate its environmental impacts more seriously or it may otherwise face regulatory restrictions. The current literature has discussed five mitigation strategies. These are technological changes, market-based changes, operational changes, regulatory changes and behavioural changes. While several authors have regarded behavioural changes as the measure with the greatest mitigation potential, it is also the measure that has received far less a…
Diffusion of Drone Journalism: the Case of Finland, 2011-2020
2020
This article details Finnish news organizations’ adoption of drones for journalistic purposes from 2011 to 2020. The theoretical starting point of the article is Rogers’ (1962) diffusion of innovations theory, which explains how new ideas and technologies spread in societies. The main empirical data for the study were derived from a phone survey conducted among the 80 most popular newspapers in Finland. The findings reveal that drone journalism in Finland has already diffused from a few pioneering organizations to a large number of newsrooms, including regional, mid-sized newspapers. Most of the newspapers are either using in-house drones, buying commissioned images, or using both strategie…
Aukslēju mandeļu kriptolīzes vēlīnu rezultātu novērtēšana
2019
Darba aktualitāte: Aukslēju mandeļukriptolīze ir salīdzinoši jauna ārstēšanas pieeja otorinolaringoloģijas jomā. Pirmie pētījumu ziņojumi meklējami vien 1994.gadā. Kopš tā laika arvien nav atrasti objektīvi, reāli diagnosticējami pacientu atlases kritēriji, kuriem šī ārstēšanas metode varētu sniegt labākos rezultātus ilgtermiņā. Šobrīd biežākais šīs procedūras veikšanas iemesls ir hronisks kazeozs tonsilīts (CCT), ko pavada tādi simptomi kā bāli dzeltenīgu, biezpienam līdzīgu graudiņu jeb t.s. detrīra korķu veidošanās, halitoze (slikta elpa, “foetor ex ore”), nepatīkama piegaršā mutē, pastāvīga diskomforta vai niezēšanas sajūtas rīklē, kā arī svešķermeņa sajūta rīklē. Lai arī šis patoloģisk…
Association Between Implementation of the Athlete Biological Passport and Female Elite Runners’ Performance
2020
The purpose of this research was to evaluate the performances of female middle- and long-distance runners before and after the implementation of a new antidoping strategy (the Athlete Biological Passport [ABP]) in a country accused of systematic doping. A retrospective analysis of the results of Russian National Championships from 2008 to 2017 was performed. The 8 best female performances for the 800-m, 1500-m, 3000-m steeplechase, 5000-m, and 10,000-m events from the semifinals and finals were analyzed. The yearly number of athletes fulfilling standard qualifications for international competitions was also evaluated. Overall, numbers of athletes banned for doping in 2008–2017 were calculat…
Interaction of climate change with effects of conspecific and heterospecific density on reproduction
2020
We studied the relationship between temperature and the coexistence of great tit Parus major and blue tit Cyanistes caeruleus, breeding in 75 study plots across Europe and North Africa. We expected an advance in laying date and a reduction in clutch size during warmer springs as a general response to climate warming and a delay in laying date and a reduction in clutch size during warmer winters due to density-dependent effects. As expected, as spring temperature increases laying date advances and as winter temperature increases clutch size is reduced in both species. Density of great tit affected the relationship between winter temperature and laying date in great and blue tit. Specifically…

Īss ieskats bērnu literatūras apbalvošanas fenomenā un Astrīdas Lindgrēnes piemiņas balvas (ALMA) specifikā. ALMA Latvijas grāmatizdošanas kontekstā
2021
Vēsturiski bērnu literatūras balvas ir izveidotas, lai uzlabotu bērnu literatūras kvalitāti un veicinātu bērnu grāmatu patēriņu. Mūsdienās tās var uzskatīt par socio-politisku spēli, ar mērķi novērtēt, leģitimizēt un dalīties idejām un vērtībām, kas kādai no sabiedrībām ir būtiskas. Darbā ir pievērsta uzmanība apbalvošanas fenomenam no dažādām perspektīvām, kā arī aplūkotas bērnu literatūras apbalvošanai raksturīgākās iezīmes. Īpaša uzmanība pievērsta Astrīdas Lindgrēnes piemiņas balvas (ALMA) specifikai, nominēšanas detaļām, laureātu un kandidātu analīzei, kā arī ALMA balvai grāmatizdošanas kontekstā Latvijā, un tiek pētīta tās popularitāte bibliotekāru vidū.
Counterexamples to the Kalman Conjectures
2018
In the paper counterexamples to the Kalman conjecture with smooth nonlinearity basing on the Fitts system, that are periodic solution or hidden chaotic attractor are presented. It is shown, that despite the fact that Kalman’s conjecture (as well as Aizerman’s) turned out to be incorrect in the case of n > 3, it had a huge impact on the theory of absolute stability, namely, the selection of the class of nonlinear systems whose stability can be studied with linear methods. peerReviewed
Characterisation of a commercial automotive lithium ion battery using extended Kalman filter
2013
This paper presents a extented Kalman filter based on a dynamic model of a commercial lithium ion battery pack in automotive applications, and experimental data are collected using the Noao. This vehicle is an electric track with range extender, which has been developed and produced by the association Pole de Performance de Nevers Magny-Cours (PPNMC). This model has been developed with MATLAB/Simulink to investigate the output characteristics of lithium-ion batteries. It incorporates I-V performance of the battery, battery capacity fading, temperature effect on battery performance, and the battery temperature rise. This estimation technique is used in order to estimate some parameters, whic…
