The role of in situ species diversification for the evolution of high vascular plant species diversity in the European Alps—A review and interpretati…

2017

Abstract By harbouring ca. 3500 native vascular plant species in an area of ca. 170 000 km2, the European Alps represent a region of very high species diversity. Using the most recently published flora of the area and phylogenetic literature, I here review which proportion of the endemic flora of the Alps is the result of in situ diversification, i.e., of diversification in the area and (largely) restricted to the area. There exist only very few and mostly species-poor species diversifications in the Alps, accounting for ca. 1.2% of the native and for ca. 9% of the endemic flora of the Alps. In contrast to this, ca. 33% of the endemic species of the Alps belong to lineages widespread in the…

Sociālie tīkli kā mārketinga platforma - Latvijas mazo maiznīcu gadījuma analīze

2020

Bakalaura darba tēma ir “Sociālie tīkli kā mārketinga platforma - Latvijas mazo maiznīcu gadījuma analīze”. Sociālo mediju nozīme cilvēku ikdienas dzīvē ar katru brīdi pieaug ar vien vairāk. Uzņēmumi un zīmoli šo situāciju izmanto savā labā jau vairākus gadus, kas ir par pamatu tam, ka ir izveidojusies atsevišķa mārketinga sfēra – sociālo mediju mārketings. Mārketinga speciālisti pauž dažādus viedokļus par to, vai sociālo mediju mārketings tiks izmantots kā ilgtspējīga mārketinga plāna sastāvdaļa, vai tomēr šis mārketinga paveids ir mirkļa tendence, kas pazudīs pēc kāda laika. Darba mērķis ir apskatīt Latvijas mazo maiznīcu radīto saturu “Facebook” vidē, kā arī noskaidrot mērķauditorijas vi…

Priekšstati par mēnesi latviešu foklorā

2015

Bakalaura darbā veikts ieskats latviešu folkloras materiālā, kas ietver informāciju par mēnesi tā daudzveidīgajās pozīcijās. Pētījuma mērķis ir sistematizēt mēness funkcijas folkloras materiālos, kā arī aptvert mēness kopējo priekšstatu. Izpratne par mēnesi diahroniskajā aspektā ir daudzveidīga, valodas lietojumā izmantojot mēness leksēmu gan sieviešu, gan vīriešu dzimtē, taču mēness parādīšanās sieviešu dzimtē ir bijusi izolēta parādība. Pētot tautas daiļrades elementus darbā tiek izvirzītas dažādas mēness funkcijas, debesu objektam parādoties kā cilvēku nakts sargam, karā gājēju palīgam, gaismas devējam, zvaigžņu pārskaitītājam un debesu kāzu dalībniekam. Mēness savukārt parādās ne tikai …

Early Career Women in Academia: An Exploration of Networking Perceptions

2016

This chapter explores women’s networking perceptions by focusing on early career women in social sciences. Within an exploratory research design it asks how early career women define the early career stage in academia, what definitions, meanings and interpretations they give for networks and networking, how they construct the networking process and their ability to establish and/or join networks, as early career researchers and as women. Based on two group interviews with 12 participants, our findings show that early career women in academia favour networking with peers based on shared interests (organic networking). At the same time though, they challenge and step over the perceived gender…

Peripersonal Visuospatial Abilities in Williams Syndrome Analyzed by a Table Radial Arm Maze Task

2020

Williams syndrome (WS) is a genetic deletion syndrome characterized by severe visuospatial deficits affecting spatial exploration and navigation abilities in extra-personal space.To date, little is known about spatial elaboration and reaching abilities in the peripersonal space in individuals with WS. The present study is aimed at evaluating the visuospatial abilities in individuals with WS and comparing their performances with those of mental age-matched typically developing (TD) children by using a highly sensitive ecological version of the Radial Arm Maze (table RAM). We evaluated 15 individuals with WS and 15 TD children in two different table RAM paradigms: the free-choice paradigm, ma…

Chemical Ecology of Floral Resources in Conservation Biological Control.

2023

Conservation biological control aims to enhance populations of natural enemies of insect pests in crop habitats, typically by intentional provision of flowering plants as food resources. Ideally, these flowering plants should be inherently attractive to natural enemies to ensure that they are frequently visited. We review the chemical ecology of floral resources in a conservation biological control context, with a focus on insect parasitoids. We highlight the role of floral volatiles as semiochemicals that attract parasitoids to the food resources. The discovery that nectar-inhabiting microbes can be hidden players in mediating parasitoid responses to flowering plants has highlighted the co…

Tears as powerful visual communication signals: a sociobiological approach

2021

Las denominadas “llamadas de distress” han sido objeto de interés para etólogos, primatólogos y psicólogos por igual, pues representan un comportamiento fuertemente seleccionado en muy distintos grupos zoológicos. De entre todas las llamadas de distress, una de las más peculiares y única de nuestra especie es el derramamiento de lágrimas emocionales. El estudio de las señales no verbales de comunicación alcanza aquí una sutileza mayor que la acostumbrada, pues el estímulo que genera respuestas diferenciales llega a ser tan mínimo como una simple lágrima deslizándose por la mejilla. Para comprender mejor las respuestas empático-afectivas, y el posible valor adaptativo de las lágrimas emocion…

New developments in the pathogenesis of obesity-induced hypertension

2015

Obesity is a disorder that develops from the interaction between genotype and environment involving social, behavioral, cultural, and physiological factors. Obesity increases the risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, cancer, musculoskeletal disorders, chronic kidney and pulmonary disease. Although obesity is clearly associated with an increased prevalence of hypertension, many obese individuals may not develop hypertension. Protecting factors may exist and it is important to understand why obesity is not always related to hypertension. The aim of this review is to highlight the knowledge gap for the association between obesity, hypertension, and potential …
