Sociālās politikas izmaiņas Latvijas pašvaldībās pēc Administratīvi teritoriālās reformas
2022
Bakalaura darba tēma ir “Sociālās politikas izmaiņas Latvijas pašvaldībās pēc Administratīvi teritoriālās reformas. Pētījuma mērķis ir izpētīt kā tiek veidota sociālā politika Latvijas pašvaldībās pēc ATR un saprast kādas ir būtiskākās sociālās politikas izmaiņas Latvijas pašvaldībās ar laiku pirms ATR. Bakalaura darba ietvaros ir analizētas pētījumā izveidotās aptaujas atbildes ar pētījumā atlasīto pašvaldību darbiniekiem. Pētījuma ietvaros ir analizēti pašvaldību 2022.gada budžeti un salīdzināti ar apvienoto novadu 2020.gada budžeta ieņēmumiem un izdevumiem. Atslēgas vārdi: “Sociālā politika”, “Latvijas pašvaldības”, “Administratīvi teritoriālā reforma”.
Critical issues for employees in inter-municipal health care services: a multiple case study
2018
Abstract Background Traditional, hierarchical government structures have recently been challenged by increased complexity, fragmented services and heavy public demand. When healthcare services become fragmented and decentralised, they require redesign. Inter-municipal cooperation is a strategy to deal with current challenges and future demographic changes. Few studies exist that can help us conceptualize challenges regarding employment in this context and inform managers in the involved municipalities. This study aims to identify critical issues for employees in inter-municipal health care services and to elaborate on how and why these issues are experienced. Methods A multiple qualitative …
Missed opportunities for tuberculosis investigation in a municipal hospital in Ghana: evidence from patient exit interviews
2020
Abstract Background We assessed coverage of symptom screening and sputum testing for tuberculosis (TB) in hospital outpatient clinics in Ghana. Methods In a cross-sectional study, we enrolled adults (≥18 years) exiting the clinics reporting ≥1 TB symptom (cough, fever, night sweats or weight loss). Participants reporting a cough ≥2 weeks or a cough of any duration plus ≥2 other TB symptoms (per national criteria) and those self-reporting HIV-positive status were asked to give sputum for testing with Xpert MTB/RIF. Results We enrolled 581 participants (median age 33 years [IQR: 24–48], 510/581 [87.8%] female). The most common symptoms were fever (348, 59.9%), chest pain (282, 48.5%) and coug…
Airborne bio-aerosols and noise in a dry waste treatment plant in Pietarsaari, Finland
2001
Ewapower Ltd in Pietarsaari, Finland produces pellets from paper and plastic waste for burning. During 1998 and 1999, several measurements were made to determine the dust, particle, microbe and endotoxin concentrations, and also the noise level in the hall where the waste is received and pre-crushed. The noise level exceeded the Finnish recommended level of 85 dBA. The dust and the particle concentrations were low, but the microbe concentrations, especially in the summer and in the autumn, were at a level which may be harmful to health. The total concentration of microbes (both dead and alive) was high - approximately 4.8 million particles m-3. The concentrations of endotoxins was high in …
Occupational hygiene in terms of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and bioaerosols at two solid waste management plants in Finland
2012
Abstract Factors affecting occupational hygiene were measured at the solid waste transferring plant at Hyvinkaa and at the optic separation plant in Hameenlinna. Measurements consisted of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and bioaerosols including microbes, dust and endotoxins. The most abundant compounds in both of the plants were aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, esters of carboxylic acids, ketones and terpenes. In terms of odour generation, the most important emissions were acetic acid, 2,3-butanedione, ethyl acetate, alpha-pinene and limonene due to their low threshold odour concentrations. At the optic waste separation plant, limonene occurred at the highest concentration of all sin…
Emissions of Greenhouse Gases and Climate Politics in the Latvian Waste Sector
2015
According IPCC guidelines for determination of greenhouse gases in waste management (IPCC 2006) the quantity of greenhouse gases must be determined for the emissions of CO2, CH4, N2O for such treatment activities: disposal of solid waste, biological treatment of solid waste and incineration and open burning of waste. Presented report reviles the current situation of this field in Latvia and conclusions on its minimization actions. The data received from Latvian environmental data bases shows that the quantity of disposed unsorted municipal waste is rising and created sanitary landfill system with anaerobic digestion of bio mas (the content of it in the disposed waste reaches 40–50 %) is pro…

La génesis de la fiscalidad municipal en Cataluña
1996
En 1361, el municipio de Barcelona ingresaba una cantidad cercana a las 52.000 l.; de esta suma, el 56% procedía de los impuestos indirectos (imposicions), el 34% de la deuda pública y sólo un 9% del impuesto directo. Un año antes, en 1360, la universidad de Cervera ingresaba una cifra próxima a las 7.000 l.: mientras el 40% procedía de las imposicions, el 60% restante se repartía, casi a partes idénticas, entre la deuda pública y la talla. En 1357/1358, los ingresos del municipio de Yalls ascendían a 763 l.: el 70% de esta cantidad venía de las imposicions y el 30% de las talles. Un año más tarde, en 1359, la universidad de Reus ingresaba 1.237 l.; el 41% de esta cifra procedía del impuest…
Design methodology for submerged anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBR): A case study
2015
[EN] The main objective of this study is to propose guidelines for designing submerged anaerobic MBR (AnMBR) technology for municipal wastewater treatment. The design methodology was devised on the basis of simulation and experimental results from an AnMBR plant featuring industrial-scale hollow-fibre membranes. The proposed methodology aims to minimise both capital expenditure and operating expenses, and the key parameters considered were: hydraulic retention time, solids retention time, mixed liquor suspended solids concentration in the membrane tank, 20 C-standardised critical flux, specificgas demand per square metre of membrane area, and flow of sludge being recycled from the membrane …
