Zinc Adsorption by Activated Carbon Prepared from Lignocellulosic Waste Biomass
2019
Sawdust was used as a precursor for the production of biomass-based activated carbon. Carbonization and activation are single-stage processes, and steam was used as a physical activation agent at 800 °
Elektroniskā deguna izmantošana smaku piesārņojuma noteikšanā
2015
Maģistra darbā pētītas un analizētas iespējas kvalitatīvi un kvantitatīvi identificēt smaku piesārņojumu ar alvas oksīda nanosensoru, kurš izmantots kā galvenais elements elektroniskajā degunā. Sensora testēšana veikta dažādu saimniecisku aktivitāšu vidēs - Rīgas Brīvostas uzņēmumu apkārtnē, Rīgas centrā pie monitoringa stacijām Brīvības ielā un Krišjāņa Valdemāra ielā, dzīvnieku fermās, siera ražošanas uzņēmumā, iekštelpās un relatīvi nepiesārņotā vidē (Kuldīgā). Mērījumu signālu apstrāde veikta dažādiem darbības režīmiem (spriegumiem), datu statistiskā apstrādē iekļauti ietekmējošie meteoroloģiskie parametri. Darbā analizēta smakojošo vielu (benzola, toluola, p-ksilola, formaldehīda) konc…

Weed vegetation of cereal crops in Tajikistan (Pamir Alai Mts., Middle Asia)
2013
The paper presents results of investigations of weed vegetation conducted in crop fields, in Tajikistan (Middle Asia) - one of the world cradles of the weed flora. The study has been based on 299 phytosociological relevés obtained in various geobotanical regions of the country in 2009-2012. In the examined vegetation patches 469 vascular plant species were noted. Many of the recorded species are widespread weeds. However, there were also some rare and endemics taxa (e.g. Prangos pabularia, P. saraw-schanica and Thlaspidium thlaspi) observed in the sample plots. The collected material presents probably, the majority of the variability among the weed communities of crop cultivations in the Mi…
Pre-sleep arousal and sleep quality during the COVID-19 lockdown in Italy
2021
Abstract Objective The COVID-19 pandemic has strongly affected daily habits and psychological wellbeing, and many studies point to large modifications in several sleep and sleep-related domains. Nevertheless, pre-sleep arousal during the pandemic has been substantially overlooked. Since hyperarousal represents one of the main factors for the development and the perpetuation of chronic insomnia disorder, the assessment of variables associated with high levels of pre-sleep arousal during the pandemic is clinically relevant. The study aimed to assess the prevalence and predictors of perceived sleep quality and pre-sleep arousal in an Italian sample during the COVID-19 lockdown. Methods We used…
Maladaptive stress coping: An additional psychological factor in the process of chronification of pain or pruritus
2021
Background: Inflammatory skin diseases with chronic pruritus and chronic back pain are very common symptoms in the general population and are associated with a reduced quality of life (QOL). In addition to biological factors, psychosocial reasons are also considered to be responsible for their development. So far, it is not known whether chronic pruritus and chronic back pain are related to maladaptive stress coping. Patients and methods: In our matched pilot case-control study with a total of 259 analyzed subjects, we compared outpatient groups, one suffering from chronic skin diseases with pruritus, the other with chronic back pain, to a healthy control group in terms of their stress copi…
Ar novecošanos saistītu biomarķieru un mtDNS mutāciju izpēte multirezistentās tuberkulozes pacientiem
2020
Darba mērķis: izmantojot biomarķierus, noteikt iespējamo multirezistentās tuberkulozes (MDR-TB) infekcijas saistību ar imūnsistēmas novecošanos un noskaidrot mtDNS variāciju lomu slimības gaitā un farmakoterapijā. Darbā ir analizētas mtDNS daudzuma un telomēru garuma izmaiņas, un apskatīta MDR-TB pacientu ieradumu un citu saistīto faktoru ietekme. MDR-TB pacientiem konstatēts paaugstināts mtDNS kopiju skaits un samazināts telomēru garums salīdzinājumā ar kontroles grupu. Būtiskās izmaiņas vērojamas tikai vīriešu grupā. Biomarķieru izmaiņas iespaidoja arī smēķēšana, terapijas ilgums un saņemto zāļu devu skaits. Identificētas vairākas mtDNS variācijas ar iespējamo ietekmi uz slimības procesie…
Music, vibrotactile mediation and bodily sensations in anorexia nervosa : "It's like I can really feel my heart beating"
2020
This article presents the theoretical, scientific, and methodological foundations for the design and implementation of an innovative technological and clinical platform that combined sound, music, and vibrotactile mediation used in a therapeutic setting by adolescents suffering from anorexia nervosa. In 2019, we carried out a pilot experiment with a group of 8 adolescent patients hospitalized in the Eating Disorders Unit of the Department of Adolescent and Young Adult Psychiatry of the Institut Mutualiste Montsouris in Paris. Within this clinical framework, we aimed to create conditions suitable for patients to reinvest in their “disaffected” bodily zones and internal experiences through re…
