Development of International Freight Transit in Latvia
2013
Abstract International freight transit is transportation of goods through third countries which are neither senders or consumers of the transported freight. International freight transit provides the use of transport infrastructure capacities and the development of transport infrastructure in Latvia, especially in seaports and railways. In Latvia approximately 97% of all transported freight carried by railway is international freight transit. The turnover of Latvia's seaports is approximately 90% international freight transit transport. This paper describes comparative position of Latvia in Logistics Performance Index and assesses international competitiveness of Latvia's international frei…
Relevance of trade facilitation in emerging countries exports
2012
The objective of this article is to analyse trade flows in emerging nations with a maritime boundary, where trade facilitation plays a decisive role in their international development. In order to detect possible patterns in performance, we apply the economic approach of gravity models using the World Bank Logistic Performance Index (LPI) as a good proxy of trade facilitation. The results of the estimation lead to the conclusion that the more complex the transportation of goods is, the more influential the logistics indicator, trade facilitation being most prominent in Middle East exporters.
Eiropas aizsargājamās sugas Dianthus arenarius subsp. arenarius fizioloģiskā reakcija uz apbēršanu ar smiltīm un nobradāšanu
2019
Smiltāja neļķe ir Eiropas padomes direktīvas aizsargājama suga, kas sastopama piekrastes dzīvotnēs. Nobradāšana un smilšu pārpūšana ir faktori, kas ietekmē augāju kāpu joslā. Darba mērķis ir kontrolētos apstākļos noskaidrot kāda ir smilšu akumulācijas un nobradāšanas ietekme uz smiltāja neļķi un kā mainās sēklu dīgstu parādīšanos, pie dažādām substrāta akumulācijas pakāpēm. Siltumnīcas apstākļos augus izdalīja deviņos dažādos variantos, kombinējot apbēršanas un nobradāšanas faktorus. Sēklu dīgšanas pētīšanai izdalīja četros apbēršanas variantus un vienu kontroles grupu. Secināja, ka gan apbēršana ar smilti, gan nobradāšana negatīvi ietekmē auga vitalitāti un pat neliela apbēršana nepasargā …
