XMM Optical Monitor Survey of TMC

2007

The Optical Monitor (OM) on-board XMM-Newton obtained optical/ultraviolet data for the XMM-Newton Extended Survey of the Taurus Molecular Cloud (XEST), simultaneously with the X-ray detectors. With the XEST OM data, we study the optical and ultraviolet properties of TMC members, and to perform correlative studies between the X-ray and OM light curves. In particular, we aim to determine whether accretion plays a significant role in the optical/ultraviolet and X-ray emissions. The Neupert effect in stellar flares is also investigated. Coordinates, average count rates and magnitudes were extracted from OM images, together with light curves with low time resolution (a few kiloseconds). For a fe…

Radio-optical scrutiny of compact AGN

2010

We study the correlations between the VLBA (Very Long Baseline Array) radio emission at 15GHz, extended emission at 151MHz, and optical nuclear emission at 5100{AA} for a complete sample of 135 compact jets. We use the partial Kendall's tau correlation analysis to check the link between radio properties of parsec-scale jets and optical nuclear luminosities of host active galactic nuclei (AGN).

Free school meals as an opportunity to target social equality, healthy eating, and school functioning: experiences from students and teachers in Norw…

2021

Background There are no national arrangements for free school meals provision in Norway despite this being an important opportunity to improve children's and adolescents' nutritional status and ultimately their physical and cognitive development. During a one academic year (2014-2015), a group of Norwegian sixth graders were served a free healthy school meal in a project called 'The School Meal Project'. Objective To explore students' and teachers' experiences of receiving free school meals after the free school meal in 2015 and 5 years later. Design In-depth, semi-structured interviews with separate groups in 2015 and in 2020 were conducted face to face or via telephone or digital platform…

Field conversations as a data source in qualitative social research

2020

Sammendrag Denne artikkelen belyser feltsamtaler som forskningsverktøy. Feltsamtaler er ofte usynlige og underkommunisert i den vitenskapelige litteraturen. Samtalene lar seg vanskelig tallfeste og beskrive; de mangler tilsynelatende systematikk og framstår gjerne bare som hverdagslig prat. Med søkelys på konteksten for samtalen og samtalens rammer og regi setter artikkelen feltsamtalen inn et kvalitativt metodeunivers. Feltsamtalen plasserer vi i et kontinuum mellom det kvalitative intervjuet på den ene siden og alminnelig prat mellom forsker og informant på den andre. Ved hjelp av eksempler fra vår egen empiriske forskning diskuterer vi feltsamtalenes bidrag som datainnsamlingsverktøy. Vi…

Combined Analysis of the Effects of Exposure to Blue Light in Ducks Reveals a Reduction in Cholesterol Accumulation Through Changes in Methionine Met…

2021

Monochromatic light is widely used in industry, medical treatment, and animal husbandry. Green-blue light has been found to stimulate the proliferation of satellite cells and the results of studies on the effects of blue light on poultry vary widely. It would be worthwhile to study the effect of blue light on poultry growth and how exposure to blue light affects metabolism and the intestinal microbiota. In this study, we irradiated Cherry Valley ducks with 460 nm wavelength light (blue light) for 3 weeks to explore the effects of blue light in comparison to those of white light (combined wavelength light) on animal growth and development. Our results showed that, under exposure to blue ligh…

Integrating Self-Reports and Electrodermal Activity (EDA) Measurement in Studying Emotions in Professional Learning

2022

Studies on emotions in learning have been mostly conducted through self-reporting questionnaires and interviews conducted after the learning situation, which seldom focus on professional workplace learning. Meanwhile, workplace and professional learning research has been introduced with emerging methods to capture the learning processes at multiple levels. Previous research on emotions has suggested that self-reports should be supplemented with psychophysiological data. Challenged by this, this chapter aims to present and discuss the integration of self-reported and psychophysiological data in studying emotions and professional learning. The empirical research data are obtained from five Fi…

Iedomu valodas: H.F. Lavkrafta grāmatas “Kthulhu aicinājums” un tās latviskā tulkojuma analīze

2020

Izdomu valodas ir paredzētas būt par neatliekamu un visai svarīgu daļu izdomu pasaulēm daiļliteratūrā (un ne tikai), un ir bieži izgudrotas ar nolūku padarīt izdomu pasaules ticamākas. Daudzi slaveni rakstnieki jau senos laikos ir iepazīstinājuši daiļliteratūras lasītājus ar savām izdomu valodām. Šis maģistra darbs ir par Hovarda Filipsa Lavkrafta izdomu valodu “R’lje”, kura pastāv viņa pat izdomātā pasaulē ar nosaukumu “Cthulhu Mythos”. Šo valodu var sastapt vairākās grāmatās, filmā un arī videospēlē, bet šis maģistra darbs būs vairāk koncentrēts uz to valodu, kura sastopama tikai grāmatās un videospēlē. Šajā pētījumā es analizēju Lavkrafta grāmatu “Kthulhu aicinājums”, izvērtēju šīs grāma…

Bakalaura darba tēma ir ‘‘Kontakta ‘‘āda – āda’‘ nodrošināšanas nozīme starp māti un jaundzimušo agrīnā pēcdzemdību periodā’‘. Veicot šo pētījumu, bakalaura darba autore vēlas noskaidrot kāda ir kontakta ‘‘āda – āda’‘ nodrošināšanas nozīme starp māti un jaundzimušo agrīnā pēcdzemdību periodā. Bakalaura darba mērķis ir noskaidrot kontakta ‘‘āda – āda’‘ nodrošināšanas nozīmi starp māti un jaundzimušo agrīnā pēcdzemdību periodā. Pētījuma uzdevumi ir apskatīt un analizēt zinātnisko literatūru par kontaktu ‘‘āda – āda’‘ starp māti un jaundzimušo, tā nodrošināšanas nozīmi un pēcdzemdību periodu; analizēt K. Rojas (Callista Roy) adaptācijas teoriju un saistīt to ar bakalaura darba tēmu; izstrādāt …

Gastrošīzes aprūpes pamatprincipi jaundzimušajiem bērniem

2017

Autors veica pētījumu uz tēmu ‘Gastrošīzes aprūpes pamatprincipi jaundzimušājiem bērniem’. Darba tēma tika izvēlēta dēļ tās aktualitātes. Gastrošīze ir viena no biežāk sastopāmiem vēdera dobuma priekšējas sienas defektiem gan ārzemēs, gan Latvijā. Pētījuma tika veikts mērķi – izpētīt gastrošīzes aprūpes pamatprincipus māsas darbā jaundzimušo intensīvās terapijas nodaļā. Darba pētījuma uzdevumi bija sēkojoši: 1. veikt zinātniskās literatūras un pētījumu analīzi; 2. izstrādāt pētījuma instrumentu; 3. veikt pētījumu; 4. apkopot un analīzet iegūtos datus un 5. veikt secinājumus. Tika izvīrzīts pētījuma jautājums, kas skan sēkojoši – kā māsas īsteno gastrošīzes aprūpes pamatprincipus jaundzimušā…
