Being an optimist or a pessimist and its relationship with morning cortisol release and past life review in healthy older people
2017
Investigate the relationship between optimism and pessimism and the cortisol awakening response (CAR) and past life review in healthy older people.76 older volunteers summarised their lives, highlighting the most important events, impressions and experiences. Cortisol saliva samples were collected on two consecutive weekdays. High and low optimism and pessimism groups were computed by mean split.Percentages of positive (PE) and negative events (NE) and positive (PCE) and negative cognitions and emotions (NCE) were obtained. Optimism and pessimism were measured with the Life Orientation Test Revised. The areas under the curve with respect to the ground and with respect to the increase were c…
The effects of phorbol 12,13-diacetate on responses of guinea-pig isolated trachea to methylxanthines, isoprenaline and ryanodine
1994
1. Using guinea-pig isolated trachea, we have studied how phorbol 12,13-diacetate (PDA) modulates mechanical responses of the tissue to methylxanthines, isoprenaline and ryanodine. 2. Caffeine (10 microM-5 mM), theophylline (10 microM-5 mM) and isoprenaline (1 nM-1 microM), each inhibited the spontaneous tone of the trachea. Pretreatment with PDA (0.1-10 microM) converted relaxant responses to high concentrations of the methylxanthines into contractions. PDA produced no equivalent effect against isoprenaline. Pretreatment with verapamil (1 or 10 microM), nifedipine (0.1 microM) or incubation with Ca(2+)-free, EGTA (0.1 mM)-containing physiological salt solution (PSS) suppressed the contract…
Visual Attention Study in Youth With Spastic Cerebral Palsy Using the Event-Related Potential Method
2011
Youth with mild spastic cerebral palsy (n = 14) and a peer control group were compared on an oddball paradigm. Here, visual stimuli were presented with low and high probability and participants were instructed to count in silence the number of rare stimuli. The infrequent stimulus typically elicits an enhanced frontal central N2 and a centroparietal P300 event-related brain potential, reflecting orientation and evaluation of stimulus novelty. No differences in latency and amplitude of the N2–P300 complex were found between the 2 groups, indicating that some fundamental attention processes are intact in youth with mild spastic cerebral palsy.
Symptoms of depression and anxiety predict mortality in patients undergoing oral anticoagulation: Results from the thrombEVAL study program
2015
Abstract Background/objectives Depression and anxiety are highly prevalent in cardiovascular patients. Therefore, we examined whether the 4-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-4, measuring symptoms of depression and anxiety) predicts all-cause mortality in outpatients with long-term oral anticoagulation (OAC). Methods The sample comprised n=1384 outpatients from a regular medical care setting receiving long-term OAC with vitamin K antagonists. At baseline, symptoms of anxiety and depression were assessed with the PHQ-4 and the past medical history was taken. The outcome was all-cause mortality in the 24month observation period. The median follow-up time was 13.3months. Results N=191 pati…
Pārrobežu mantošana Eiropas Savienībā
2016
Ikvienam Eiropas Savienības pilsonim ir tiesības brīvi pārvietoties un dzīvot dalībvalstīs, un šīs tiesības aptuveni 11 miljoni Eiropas Savienības pilsoņu jau ir izmantojuši, no minētā apstākļa secināms, ka šāda pārvietošanās sekmē iespēju, ka mirušās personas īpašums un mantinieki atrodas vairākās Eiropas Savienības dalībvalstīs, kā arī laulības starp dažādu dalībvalstu pilsoņiem var radīt problēmas mantošanas jautājumos pēcāk. Ņemot vērā, ka vairumam dalībvalstu ir savas kolīziju normas, ko tās piemēro attiecībā uz mantošanas lietām ar ārvalsts elementu un šīs kolīziju normas nav saskaņotas, 2012.gada jūlijā Eiropas Parlaments un Eiropas Padome pieņēma regulu Nr.650/2012 par jurisdikciju,…
Mantošanas regulas piemērošana pārrobežu mantojuma lietās
2019
Maģistra darbā tiek aplūkota Eiropas Parlamenta un Padomes regula (ES) Nr.650/2012 par jurisdikciju, piemērojamiem tiesību aktiem, nolēmumu atzīšanu un izpildi un publisku aktu akceptēšanu un izpildi mantošanas lietās un par Eiropas mantošanas apliecības izveidi jeb Mantošanas regula. Darba mērķis ir analizēt regulas darbības pamatprincipus un piemērošanas aspektus, un analīzes gaitā konstatēt nepilnības regulas tiesiskajā regulējumā un piedāvāt iespējamos risinājumus. Maģistra darbā ir četras nodaļas. Pirmajā nodaļā tiek apskatīti regulas mērķi, tvērums un definīcijas, īpaši analizējot pastāvīgās dzīvesvietas jēdzienu. Analīzes rezultātā autore izstrādājusi regulas piemērošanas shēmu. Otra…
Mantošanas regulas piemērošana, vedot mantojuma lietu pie Latvijas notāra un ar to saistītie problēmjautājumi.
2020
Bakalaura darbā ir pētīta Eiropas Parlamenta un Padomes Regulas (ES) Nr. 650/2012 (2012. gada 4. jūlijs) par jurisdikciju, piemērojamiem tiesību aktiem, nolēmumu atzīšanu un izpildi un publisku aktu akceptēšanu un izpildi mantošanas lietās un par Eiropas mantošanas apliecības izveidi jeb Mantošanas regulas piemērošanas problemātika gadījumos, kad mantojuma lieta tiek vesta pie Latvijas notāra. Darba mērķis ir analizēt Mantošanas regulas būtiskākos jēdzienus, Mantošanas regulas atbilstību tās sākotnējiem mērķiem, kā arī izpētīt ar kādiem izaicinājumiem ir jāsaskaras Mantošanas regulas piemērotājiem Latvijā un sniegt atbilstošus risinājumus, lai atvieglotu Mantošanas regulas piemērošanu.

Preservation of modern and mis 5.5 erosional landforms and biological structures as sea level markers: A matter of luck?
2021
The Mediterranean Basin is characterized by a significant variability in tectonic behaviour, ranging from subsidence to uplifting. However, those coastal areas considered to be tectonically stable show coastal landforms at elevations consistent with eustatic and isostatic sea level change models. In particular, geomorphological indicators—such as tidal notches or shore platforms—are often used to define the tectonic stability of the Mediterranean coasts. We present the results of swim surveys in nine rocky coastal sectors in the central Mediterranean Sea using the Geoswim approach. The entire route was covered in 22 days for a total distance of 158.5 km. All surveyed sites are considered to…
