Morāle tiešsaistes (sa)ziņā: antropoloģisks skatījums
2018
Maģistra darba “Morāle tiešsaistes (sa)ziņā: antropoloģisks skatījums” uzmanības centrā ir digitālās komunikācijas prakšu dažādības apzināšana. Pētījums aplūko moralizācijas (‘moralisation’, Liu) un morālo kodu lietošanas digitālo prakšu jautājumus, kā arī to ietekmi individuālo emociju, audzināšanas un citu pirms-digitālo pieredžu un afektu izdzīvošanā. Pētījuma mērķis ir apzināt sarežģītus individuālo un kolektīvo morāles vērtību veidošanas ceļus digitālajā vidē un to praktizēšanu ne-digitālajās izpausmēs. Lai sasniegtu šo mērķi, tika izvirzīta virkne papildjautājumu, kuru starpā ir morāles un ētikas jēdzieniskais nošķīrums, iemaņu un emociju pastāvēšanas nosacījumi digitālajā vidē un vei…
Modeling the Effect of Modified Atmospheres on Conidial Germination of Fungi from Dairy Foods
2017
Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) is commonly applied to extend food shelf-life. Despite growth of a wide variety of fungal contaminants has been previously studied in relation to modified-atmospheres, few studies aimed at quantifying the effects of dioxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) partial pressures on conidial germination in solid agar medium. In the present study, an original culture method was developed, allowing microscopic monitoring of conidial germination under modified-atmospheres in static conditions. An asymmetric model was utilized to describe germination kinetics of Paecilomyces niveus, Mucor lanceolatus, Penicillium brevicompactum, Penicillium expansum, and Penicillium …

Recovery of aliphatic low-molecular-mass carboxylic acids from hardwood kraft black liquor
2015
Abstract During alkaline pulping of wood, substantial amounts of carbohydrates-derived aliphatic carboxylic acids (formic and acetic acids together with various hydroxy acids) are formed and dissolved into the cooking liquor (“black liquor”). These acids with low heating values are considered to be potential feedstocks for the chemical industry but, due to many factors, their straightforward recovery as free acids from black liquor (pH 13–14) is difficult. In this paper, we outlined the partial recovery of volatile formic and acetic acids from the acidified birch ( Betula pendula ) kraft black liquor (pH approximately 2.5) by distillation, and the partial recovery of significant low-molecul…
Exploring basic hope as a mediator between attitudes towards religion and psychological well-being among Anglicans
2022
Celem niniejszego badania jest sprawdzenie mediacyjnej roli nadziei podstawowej w związku postaw wobec religii z dobrostanem psychicznym w próbie anglikanów. Ponieważ wcześniejsze badania wskazywały na bliskie związki między religijnością, nadzieją i dobrostanem, powyższe założenie jest wysoce prawdopodobne. W badaniu wzięło udział 176 osób (89 kobiet i 87 mężczyzn). Wszyscy byli członkami Kościoła anglikańskiego i wypełnili trzy kwestionariusze: Skalę Przekonań Postkrytycznych (PCBS), Skalę Dobrostanu Psychicznego (PWB) oraz Inwentarz Podstawowej Nadziei (BHI-12). Wyniki wykazały, że wszystkie cztery postawy wobec religii były związane z nadzieją podstawową: ortodoksja i wtórna ufność były…
Interspace for empathy : engaging with work-related uncertainty through artistic intervention in management education
2022
How can artistic intervention facilitate empathic engagement with work-related uncertainty in postgraduate management education? To examine this, we theorize artistic intervention as creating an interspace of temporarily suspended organizational norms through which empathy as relational knowing can emerge between participants. Drawing on an ethnographic study entitled Becoming in Academia, a nine-month artistic intervention conducted by a group of doctoral students in a Nordic business school (NBS), this paper highlights how an interspace for empathic engagement with work-related uncertainty was created by the participants through three intervention activities: aligning oneself to the other…
Leishmania tarentolae and Leishmania infantum in humans, dogs and cats in the Pelagie archipelago, southern Italy.
2021
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) caused by Leishmania infantum is endemic in the Mediterranean basin with most of the infected human patients remaining asymptomatic. Recently, the saurian-associated Leishmania tarentolae was detected in human blood donors and in sheltered dogs. The circulation of L. infantum and L. tarentolae was investigated in humans, dogs and cats living in the Pelagie islands (Sicily, Italy) by multiple serological and molecular testing. Human serum samples (n = 346) were tested to assess the exposure to L. infantum by immunofluorescence antibody test (IFAT), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blot (WB) and to L. tarentolae by IFAT. Meanwhile, sera from do…
Nonlinear Time-Series Adaptation for Land Cover Classification
2017
Automatic land cover classification from satellite image time series is of paramount relevance to assess vegetation and crop status, with important implications in agriculture, biofuels, and food. However, due to the high cost and human resources needed to characterize and classify land cover through field campaigns, a recurrent limiting factor is the lack of available labeled data. On top of this, the biophysical–geophysical variables exhibit particular temporal structures that need to be exploited. Land cover classification based on image time series is very complex because of the data manifold distortions through time. We propose the use of the kernel manifold alignment (KEMA) method for…
