Non-elite conceptions of Europe: Europe as reference frame in English football fan discussions
2020
International audience; Discursive approaches to Europe usually focus on elite discourses and target a narrow political understanding of Europe. Against the backdrop of rising Euroscepticism and the known elite-mass divide on issues of European identity, it seems important to shift the focus toward non-elite discourses on Europe. Given that club football is largely Europeanised (player markets, continent-wide club competitions and broadcasting of matches), we analyse how fans of the English Premier League club Manchester United discursively construct ‘Europe’ in relation to their sport. Our main research question aims at identifying how identifications of fans have been unconsciously Europe…
On Descriptive Characterizations of an Integral Recovering a Function from Its $$L^r$$-Derivative
2022
The notion of Lr-variational measure generated by a function F ∈ Lr[a, b] is introduced and, in terms of absolute continuity of this measure, a descriptive characterization of the HKr -integral recovering a function from its Lr-derivative is given. It is shown that the class of functions generating absolutely continuous Lr-variational measure coincides with the class of ACGr -functions which was introduced earlier, and that both classes coincide with the class of the indefinite HKr-integrals under the assumption of Lr-differentiability almost everywhere of the functions consisting these classes
Object Localization Does Not Imply Awareness of Object Category at the Break of Continuous Flash Suppression
2017
In continuous flash suppression (CFS), a dynamic noise masker, presented to one eye, suppresses conscious perception of a test stimulus, presented to the other eye, until the suppressed stimulus comes to awareness after few seconds. But what do we see breaking the dominance of the masker in the transition period? We addressed this question with a dual-task in which observers indicated (i) whether the test object was left or right of the fixation mark (localization) and (ii) whether it was a face or a house (categorization). As done recently Stein et al. (2011a), we used two experimental varieties to rule out confounds with decisional strategy. In the terminated mode, stimulus and masker wer…
Subsurface swimming and stationary diving are metabolically cheap in adult Pacific walruses (Odobenus rosmarus divergens).
2021
ABSTRACT Walruses rely on sea-ice to efficiently forage and rest between diving bouts while maintaining proximity to prime foraging habitat. Recent declines in summer sea ice have resulted in walruses hauling out on land where they have to travel farther to access productive benthic habitat while potentially increasing energetic costs. Despite the need to better understand the impact of sea ice loss on energy expenditure, knowledge about metabolic demands of specific behaviours in walruses is scarce. In the present study, 3 adult female Pacific walruses (Odobenus rosmarus divergens) housed in professional care participated in flow-through respirometry trials to measure metabolic rates while…
South China Sea or West Philippine Sea?
2017
The South China Sea (“West Philippine Sea”) has been for several years a space of potential conflict between several countries due to overlapping of their EEZs and China’s claim of a large part of this oceanic space, well beyond its UN-endorsed EEZ. The Spratly islets and Scarborough shoal are mere coral reefs, uninhabited for the most part, but they lie in the middle of rich fishing grounds and atop large reserves of petroleum and natural gas. Furthermore, the area is one of the world’s busiest sea lanes for commercial navigation. This chapter presents the general rules of UNCLOS (international laws pertaining to oceanic space), and then examines the competing claims, focusing on the China…
Diabēta pacientu aktivitātes novērošana ar viedtālruni
2015
Diabēta slimniekiem nepieciešams ikdienā novērtēt, cik aktīvi viņi dzīvo, cik kalorijas patērē, lai regulētu gan ēdiena karti, gan medikamentus. Novērošanu varētu automatizēt ar viedtālruni, vērojot aktivitāti ar viedtālruņa sensoriem, kā arī dodot iespēju pievienot papildus datus ar aptauju palīdzību. Darba mērķis ir izpētīt un novērtēt esošās metodes un risinājumus un piedāvāt savu risinājumu.
Regulation of physiological differentiation in Nonomuraea sp. ATCC 39727
2014
The Actinomycete Nonomuraea produces the glycopeptide A40926, precursor of dalbavancin, a novel lipoglycopeptide homologous to vancomycin that could be used against emerging resistant Gram-positive bacteria. The A40926 biosynthetic gene cluster (dbv), which consists of 37 genes, encodes two regulators, Dbv3 (LuxR-like) and Dbv4 (StrR-like), as well as the response regulator (Dbv6) and the sensor-kinase (Dbv22) of a putative two-component system. Previous work demonstrated a positive role of Dbv4 in antibiotic production by activating the transcription of 13 dbv genes; up to now no role was assigned to Dbv3, Dbv6 and Dbv22. In addition, an IclR-like protein is thought to be involved in dbv4 …
Rahat tai henki? : suomalaisten gospelmuusikkojen käsityksiä suomi-gospelin maallistumista
2010
Suomalainen gospelmusiikki on noussut 2000-luvulla albumilistoille ja gospelbändit keikkailevat hengellisten tapahtumien lisäksi myös maallisilla areenoilla. Tämä ilmiö herätti minussa kysymyksen, onko gospelmusiikki maallistunut viime vuosina vai onko suuren yleisön suvaitsevaisuus kristillistä musiikkia kohtaan lisääntynyt. Taustakirjallisuuteen ja Suomi-gospelin historiaan perehdyttyäni tutkielman alkuoletuksena oli, että suomalainen gospelmusiikki on maallistunut koko sen historian ajan. Kandidaatintutkielmani tarkoituksena on selvittää, miten suomalaiset gospelmuusikot suhtautuvat Suomi-gospelin maallistumisilmiöön. Valitsin gospelmusiikin maallistumisen tutkielmani aiheeksi, koska aih…
Epidemiological Survey of Grapevine Leafroll-Associated Virus 1 and 3 in Sicily (Italy): Genetic Structure and Molecular Variability
2022
Background: the most widely distributed and virulent Grapevine leafroll-associated viruses (GLRaV) that affect grapevine are GLRaV-1 and GLRaV-3, transmitted semi-persistently by different mealybugs and soft scales, mainly causing downward rolling of the leaf margins and interveinal reddening. Methods: the main objectives of this study were to investigate the genetic structure and molecular diversity of GLRaV-1 and GLRaV-3 in 617 samples from 11 autochthonous Sicilian grapevine cultivars, ascertaining their presence and spread. The detection was implemented by serological and molecular analyses and subsequently phylogenetic analyses on selected Sicilian isolates were conducted. Results: in …
Autovadīšanas manevru noteikšana izmantojot viedtālruni
2015
Automašīnas ir mūsdienu izplatītākais transporta līdzeklis, ar ko ir saistīta gan mūsu ikdiena, gan neskaitāmas uzņēmējdarbības jomas. Diemžēl ir ļoti maz iespēju iegūt informāciju par to, kā automašīnas tiek izmantotas. Viedtālruņi mūsdienās ir ļoti plaši izplatīti un tie ir aprīkoti ar sensoriem, kas var tikt izmantoti šīs problēmas risināšanā. Šajā darbā tiek izpētīta iespēja izmantot autovadītāja viedtālruņa sensoru iegūto informāciju, lai automatizētā veidā noteiktu vadītāja veiktos manevrus autovadīšanas laikā. Darba ietvaros tiek apzināti līdzīgi pētījumi un risinājumi, kā arī apskatīti un analizēti viedtālruņos sastopamie sensori un pārbaudīti šo sensoru mērījumi autovadīšanas laikā…
