Brief an Johann G. Herder.
1799
Ms. 930a, Nr. 17, Bl. 43r-44v Garlieb H. Merkel. Brief an Johann G. Herder. Berlin, d[en] 9ten März 1799 Autora rokraksts / Autograph, vācuval. / Deutsch [4] lpp. / S. Attēlu numuri / Bildnummern: 930a-017-1, 930a-017-2-3, 930a-017-4 Wahrscheinlich handelt es sich bei diesem Dokument um ein Konzeptdes Briefes von Merkel an Herder; es ist also nicht gesichert, ob dieser in Reinschrift verfasst undan den Adressaten abgeschickt wurde. Merkel schreibt sehr persönlich über sich selbst und versucht das Bild eines draufgängerischen Lebemannes zu geben, der seinen Horizont, wenn möglich, lieber durch eigene Erfahrungen als durch Buchlektüre erweitern will. Merkel weiß, dass er diese Sichtweise mit …

The effect of thermal drying on the contents of condensed tannins and stilbenes in Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst.) sawmill bark
2021
Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) bark contains marked amounts of polyphenolic compounds. Condensed tannins (CTs) and stilbenes show commercial potential as antioxidants, antimicrobials, preservatives in food and cosmetic applications, technochemical products, and pharmaceuticals. Storing of bark before the conversion process leads to substantial losses of extractives compounds. In the present study, the potential of thermal drying for maintaining extractives content was assessed based on an experiment in which bark samples were dried in convection kilns at 40, 50, 60, and 70 °C temperatures. The development of CTs and stilbene contents and CT degradation were followed for 28–34 h. CT…
The use of virtual reality as a potential restorative environment in school during recess
2020
Publisher Copyright: © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG. Copyright: Copyright 2021 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved. Previous research has found out that simulated, Virtual Reality (VR)-based forests can bring equal or even higher restorative effects than real forests. In this study, a Virtual Reality (VR)-based forest was created in order to compare whether VR-based forest can possess restorative effects in the context of primary school, and how the possible effects compare to restorative effects of a normal recess or to a situation when there is no recess at all. The effects were measured using Restorative Outcome Scale (ROS) and problem-solving tasks after the intervention. The res…
Transition in the Finnish forest-based sector: Company perspectives on the bioeconomy, circular economy and sustainability
2019
The forest-based sector is affected by many profound structural changes and the increasing complexity of the business environment due to, for example, the mature markets of many core products and the aims for bio and circular economies and more sustainable societies. In response to the changing business environment, forest-based sector firms need to restructure their business models and develop new products and services. From the Finnish perspective, new forest-based businesses are crucial in the transition to successful and sustainable bio and circular economies. Views on the concepts of bioeconomy, circular economy and sustainability vary according to which parties are involved. Developin…
Was There a Taboo on Killing Wolves in Rome?
2014
The treatment given to wolves differed from the treatment meted out to other large predators. The Romans generally seem to have refrained from intentionally harming wolves. For instance, they were not hunted for pleasure (but only in order to protect herds that were out at pasture), and not displayed in the venationes, either. The special status of the wolf was not based on national ideology, but rather was connected to the religious importance of the wolf to the Romans. peerReviewed
Vēsture: Sabiedrība, pārvalde un saimniecība Baltijas jūras reģionā no aizvēstures līdz jaunajiem laikiem
2012
Šajā LU Rakstu sējumā iekļautie raksti pamatojas gan uz referātiem, kas tikuši nolasīti 2008.–2010. gadā LU 66., 67. un 68. zinātniskās konferences Arheoloģijas, kā arī Viduslaiku un jauno laiku vēstures sekcijā, gan uz LU Vēstures un filozofijas fakultātes doktorantu pētījumiem. Raksti ir sadalīti divās daļās, kas, lai gan hronoloģiski pārklājas, tomēr atspoguļo dažādas vēstures jomas – pirmā krājuma daļa ir veltīta aktuāliem arheoloģiskiem pētījumiem, savukārt otrajā daļā iekļautie raksti pievēršas viduslaiku un jauno laiku vēstures problemātikai. Krājuma rakstos no dažādām pētnieciskām perspektīvām aplūkoti Baltijas jūras reģiona – pārsvarā Latvijas teritorijas (viena raksta gadījumā att…
Evolved high aerobic capacity has context-specific effects on gut microbiota
2022
Publisher Copyright: Copyright © 2022 Hanhimäki, Watts, Koskela, Koteja, Mappes and Hämäläinen. Gut microbiota is expected to coevolve with the host's physiology and may play a role in adjusting the host's energy metabolism to suit the host's environment. To evaluate the effects of both evolved host metabolism and the environmental context in shaping the gut microbiota, we used a unique combination of (1) experimental evolution to create selection lines for a fast metabolism and (2) a laboratory-to-field translocation study. Mature bank voles Myodes glareolus from lines selected for high aerobic capacity (A lines) and from unselected control (C lines) were released into large (0.2 ha) outdo…
