"Treatment is of primary importance, and social assistance is secondary": A qualitative study on the organisation of tuberculosis (TB) care and patie…
2018
Background Vulnerable individuals with tuberculosis (TB) struggle to access and stay on treatment. While patient-related and social barriers to TB treatment adherence are well documented, less is known about how the organisation and delivery of TB care influences adherence behaviour. Aim To examine the influence of TB service organisation and culture on patients’ experience of starting and staying on treatment in Riga, Latvia. Methods An intervention package to support adherence to TB treatment amongst vulnerable patients in Riga, Latvia was piloted between August 2016 and March 2017. Qualitative observations (5), interviews with staff (20) and with TB patients (10) were conducted mid-way a…
Dental disease and dietary isotopes of individuals from St Gertrude Church cemetery, Riga, Latvia.
2018
This research explores oral health indicators and stable carbon and nitrogen isotope data to explore diet, and differences in diet, between people buried in the four different contexts of the St Gertrude Church cemetery (15th– 17th centuries AD): the general cemetery, two mass graves, and a collective mass burial pit within the general cemetery. The main aim is to assess whether people buried in the mass graves were rural immigrants, or if they were more likely to be the victims of plague (or another epidemic) who lived in Riga and its suburbs. The data produced (from dental disease assessments and isotope analyses) were compared within, as well as between, the contexts. Most differences em…

Bioaccumulation of hepatotoxins : A considerable risk in the Latvian environment
2014
Abstract The Gulf of Riga, river Daugava and several interconnected lakes around the City of Riga, Latvia, form a dynamic brackish-freshwater system favouring occurrence of toxic cyanobacteria. We examined bioaccumulation of microcystins and nodularin-R in aquatic organisms in Latvian lakes, the Gulf of Riga and west coast of open Baltic Sea in 2002–2007. The freshwater unionids accumulated toxins efficiently, followed by snails. In contrast, Dreissena polymorpha and most lake fishes (except roach) accumulated much less hepatotoxins. Significant nodularin-R concentrations were detected also in marine clams and flounders. No transfer of nodularin-R and microcystins between lake and brackish …

Mitochondrial DNA Portrait of Latvians: Towards the Understanding of the Genetic Structure of Baltic-Speaking Populations
2005
Summary Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation was investigated in a sample of 299 Latvians, a Baltic-speaking population from Eastern Europe. Sequencing of the first hypervariable segment (HVS-I) in combination with analysis of informative coding region markers revealed that the vast majority of observed mtDNAs belong to haplogroups (hgs) common to most European populations. Analysis of the spatial distribution of mtDNA haplotypes found in Latvians, as well as in Baltic-speaking populations in general, revealed that they share haplotypes with all neighbouring populations irrespective of their linguistic affiliation. Hence, the results of our mtDNA analysis show that the previously described s…

Musuļmaņu imigrācijas opozīcijas dekonstrukcija Ziemeļu un Baltijas reģionā: Norvēģijas un Latvijas gadījums
2017
Musulmaņu imigrācijas jautājums ir bijis vienmēr strīdīgs Eiropā, bet notiekošā bēgļu krīzes to vēl vairāk ir saasinājusi. Maģistra darbā uzmanība ir pievērsta Ziemeļbaltijas reģionam, lai: 1)noskaidrotu, kā pēckara ekonomika un politika (kā piemēram, viesstrādnieku programmas, bēgļu politika un piespiedu iedzīvotāju pārvietošana) ir izveidojusi mūsdienu musulmaņu kopienu Norvēģijā un Latvijā; 2)analizētu publisko diskursu par musulmaņu imigrāciju Norvēģijā un Latvijā kopš 2015. gada. Leona Taivāna Latvijā un Andera Breivika (Anders Behring Breivik) Norvēģijā ideoloģiskais diskurss ir raksturots, analizēts un interpretēts. Pētījumā ir sniegta arī sešu plašsaziņas rakstu – “personisko bēgļu …
