Ukrainas un Sīrijas konfliktu loma ASV Āzijas Klusā okeāna reģiona politikā
2016
Krievijas agresija Ukrainā un Sīrijas pilsoņu kara eskalācija, tajā iesaistoties Daesh, aktualizēja ASV globālo lomu, īpaši Eiropā un Tuvajos Austrumos. ASV tobrīd par stratēģisko prioritāti bija izsludinājusi Āzijas Klusā okeāna reģiona politiku. Atbilstoši ofensīvā reālisma nostādnēm lielvaras tiecas iegrožot potenciālo hegemonu, lai saglabātu savas pozīcijas starptautiskajā sistēmā. Līdz ar to maģistra darbā „Ukrainas un Sīrijas konfliktu loma ASV Āzijas Klusā okeāna reģiona politikā” tiek pētīts, kā iepriekš minētie konflikti atsaucas uz ASV centieniem iegrožot Ķīnas hegemoniskās ambīcijas. Pētījumā secināts, ka šie konflikti nemainīja ASV ārpolitikas prioritātes.
Pavement life cycle management: Towards a sustainability assessment framework in Europe
2020
Pavement Life Cycle Management is a 2-year international project aiming at supporting European National Road Authorities (NRAs) to introduce sustainability in their practices by providing training on Life Cycle techniques and a user-friendly package to support their widespread implementation. The first task in Pavement Life Cycle Management (Pave-mentLCM) project is the creation of a Sustainability Assessment (SA) framework that complies with EN15643-5 and consequently include the three pillars of sustainability, use a life cycle ap-proach and use quantifiable sustainability performance indicators. This paper presents the first steps towards the creation of the framework which includes the …
Conflicts over the provision and payment of wages of the "pavordías" of the University of Valencia during the second half of the seventeenth century
2002
Este artículo analiza las causas que influyeron en la dificultad de dotar las pavordías de la Universidad de Valencia en la segunda mitad del seiscientos. Los incrementos salariales de los pavordes, los gastos provocados por los continuos pleitos con los canónigos, la disminución de la renta de la pavordía, la reclamación por la Cámara Apostólica de los quindenios correspondientes y el desacuerdo entre la Ciudad y los pavordes respecto al estado de las cuentas se conjugaron para provocar la paralización de la provisión de preposituras. Situación a la que sólo la firma de las sucesivas concordias de 1669 y 1680 entre la Ciudad y los pavordes consiguió poner fin. This article analyzes the cau…
Neutrophil Adherence to Activated Saphenous Vein and Mammary Endothelium After Graft Preparation
2005
Interaction of circulating leukocytes and vascular endothelium plays an important role in vasoconstriction, endothelial dysfunction, and vascular injury. Dilation procedures of grafts before coronary artery bypass graft surgery might lead to vascular injury and subsequent bypass graft disease.We analyzed in vitro the adherence of fluorescence-labeled polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) to endothelium of human saphenous vein grafts or internal mammary artery grafts after stimulation with thrombin (0.5 to 2 U/mL) or dilating procedures. Furthermore, we investigated endothelial function of prepared grafts.Thrombin stimulation resulted in a dose-dependent increase of PMN adherence to the endot…

Synthesis of Morphinans through Anodic Aryl‐Aryl Coupling
2021
The morphinans are an important class of structurally fascinating and physiologically important natural products as exemplified by the famous opium alkaloids of the morphine family. Although this class of secondary metabolites from the juice of the opium poppy capsule was already used for medicinal purposes thousands of years ago, chemical modifications are still being applied to the core structure today in order to achieve the most specific effect on the various receptor subtypes possible with the fewest possible side effects. The unusual architecture of the morphinan core has also proven to be a highly challenging target for total synthesis. This review highlights electrosynthetic approac…
Investigating Tools for Sustainability Assessment of Road Pavements in Europe
2022
Sustainability assessment (SA) is a method to support decision making processes through the evaluation of system effectiveness, environmental integrity, economic valuation, and social implications [1]. SA can be carried out through the application of life-cycle-based techniques for quantitative assessment, or by performing a mainly qualitative approach via sustainability rating systems (SRS). In the field of civil engineering, many SRS have been proposed, all based on assigning point values to actions that are determined to contribute to the overall sustainability of the project. However, only few of these systems can be applied specifically to compare road pavement technologies and/or main…
A life cycle scenario analysis of different pavement technologies for urban roads.
2019
In the past, lowest price was the award criterion, given that structural capacity and safety were assured. In the last years, environmental, energy, and long-term impacts have been introduced (climate change, resource depletion, energy consumption, generated solid waste, discharged water, and emissions). Unfortunately, the introduction of new pavement technologies and materials (i.e., waste plastics) affects maintenance and rehabilitation processes and call for accurate and timeliness studies and criteria. Consequently, this paper presents an energy and environmental assessment of an Italian urban road and considers different material-related scenarios that fully comply with emerging techno…
Scrivere del Mezzogiorno.Processi di auto-orientalism nella Letteratura italiana
2014
Questo lavoro guarda al contributo che la letteratura italiana ha dato relativamente alla costruzione e alla sedimentazione, nell'immaginario comune e nella percezione pubblica, dell'identità geografica e culturale del Mezzogiorno, ovvero di quella «consapevolezza geopolitica» di cui parlava Edward Said a proposito di altre aree del globo. Per fare ciò, sono stati identificati e presi in esame due diversi momenti che nella storia d'Italia si sono contraddistinti per una forte ridiscussione dell'immagine delle regioni meridionali del paese. I decenni immediatamente successivi all'Unità, infatti, sono stati caratterizzati da ampi dibattiti in merito al ruolo che il Sud doveva avere all'intern…
