Clostridium ģints baktēriju noteikšana dzeramajā ūdenī izmantojot Fluorescento in situ hibridizāciju
2015
Bakalaura darba mērķis bija ātri un precīzi identificēt dzeramajā ūdenī Clostridium ģints baktērijas izmantojot Fluorescento in situ hibridizāciju. Līdz ar to tika izmērīts un salīdzināts fluorescences intensitātes līmenis dažādām Clostridium sugām, kā arī citiem mikroorganismiem izmantojot Clostridium spp. specifiskas fluorescentās zondes. 92% no Clostridium acetobutylicum izmērītam šūnām, relatīvās gaismas vienības (RLU) pārsniedza 500 vienību robežu, 99% no Clostridium beijernickii un 96% no Clostridium tetahomorphum, salīdzinājumā ar Sphingomonas paucimobilis, kur tikai 2% pārsniedza 300 RLU. Veiktais variācijas analīzes tests (ANOVA) liecināja, ka starp Clostridium ģints baktērijām un …
Semi-natural habitats in the European boreal region: Caught in the socio-ecological extinction vortex?
2022
AbstractWe propose to consider semi-natural habitats—hotspots for biodiversity—being caught in a socio-ecological extinction vortex, similar to the phenomenon described for species threatened with extinction. These habitats are essentially socioecological systems, in which socioeconomic drivers are interlinked with ecological processes. We identify four highly interlinked and mutually reinforcing socio-economic processes, pertaining to the importance of semi-natural habitats for (i) agricultural production, (ii) policy, research and development; (iii) vocational education in the fields of agricultural sciences and (iv) public’s experiences with semi-natural habitats. Evidence from six count…

Rhetoric of academic applications : Perspectives from Quentin Skinner’s Forensic Shakespeare
2019
The tools of classical and Renaissance rhetoric that Quentin Skinner uses in his Forensic Shakespeare (2014) are here applied to a contemporary context. Skinner’s discussion might have a fairly direct value for a genre of writing that most academics today must master, namely the rhetoric of applications. They have been seldom discussed from a rhetorical perspective, although knowledge of rhetoric is highly valuable for applicants, evaluators and those deciding between applications. Skinner’s book contains both advices for applicants and discussions on both the criteria of application and the possibilities of their revisions in case of innovative applications. peerReviewed
‘Life is team play’: social inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities in the context of Special Olympics
2022
This article provides insights from an empirical study on the meaning of social inclusion for Finnish athletes with intellectual disabilities (ID) who participate in Special Olympics (SO). A further objective was to explore the athletes’ perceptions of the role SO has played in their lives regarding their personal experiences of social inclusion. Data were transcripts of five focus group interviews carried out with a total of 31 participants during the last SO World Winter Games in 2017. The content was analysed with the aim of identifying the main themes in the athletes’ conversations about social inclusion. Three main themes were identified: inclusion as a contrast to past discrimination;…
Live free or die motionless : Walking the migrant path from Italy to France
2018
This essay and the photographs examine visual traces of irregular mobility in the border landscape between Italy and France. The ruined buildings and objects witness decades of movement of undocumented people on this old migrant path across the mountains. By taking the theoretical concept of multidirectional memory (Rothberg 2009) the essay argues that the Path of Hope can be thought of as a memory site through which the issues of migration in contemporary Europe can be seen in a more sustainable light. The ruins and discarded objects link memories of different places – including different border zones – in ways that allow us to critically examine borders as a practice – rather than as exis…

“Diagnosing” the Need or in “Need” of a Diagnosis? Reconceptualizing Educational Need
2017
This chapter is based on compulsory school experiences of students diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and their parents in the educational context of Finland. Located in the theoretical framework of Disability Studies, the chapter aims to contribute to theory of inclusive education by initiating a new dialogue on conceptual foundations of inclusive schooling. In this regard, the chapter first deconstructs the concept of educational need that stems from the field of traditional special education as contradictory to the original ideals of inclusive education. It then moves on to reconstruct the concept of educational need in accordance with the foundational values …
