Nāve apziņas, laika un esības jautājumu kontekstā.
2014
Nāves jautājumu ir nepieciešams analizēt atbilstoši tam kā mēs saprotam apziņu. Apziņa piemīt dzīvām būtnēm un iespējams arī nedzīvām struktūrām un izpaužas kā organizācija, kas neļauj sarežģītam organismam vai struktūrai sabrukt. Nāve ir arī laika, eksistences vai esības jautājums. Visi šie universa pamatjēdzieni jāskata vienoti.

Cassava starch processing at small scale in North Vietnam
2008
International audience; In Northern Vietnam, small-scale cassava starch processing is conducted in densely populated craft villages, where processors face difficulties to expand their activities. Three different processing systems were studied among a cluster of three communes in the Red River Delta, producing up to 430 t of starch (at 55% dry matter) per day. The first system, type A, is a cylindrical rasper and a manual sieve, the second, type B, is a cylindrical rasper and stirring-filtering machine and the third, type C, used equipment for both the rasping and filtering stages. Moisture, starch, crude fibers and ash content analysis were carried out on samples collected from the A-B-C m…
Evolution's cycles of global social systems and the basic mechanisms behind the crisis. The times in which we live. What has changed where are we hea…
2011
Šajā darbā tiek apskatīta viena no 20. gadsimta svarīgākajām paradigmām – pašorganizācija globālu sociāli-ekonomisku sistēmu evolūcijas kontekstā. Tās loma jaunu transdisciplināro metožu izstrādē ir nenovērtējama. Tā ir jauna valoda, kurā, viens otru saprotot, var sarunāties matemātiķi, eksakto un humanitāro zinātņu pārstāvji. Uzsvars darbā likts uz to, lai vienkāršā valodā lasītāju iepazīstinātu ar sarežģītu sistēmu evolūcijas pamatprincipiem, koncentrējoties vairāk uz sociāli-ekonomisko procesu dinamiku un evolūcijas projektēšanas metodoloģiju. Krīžu mehānismu un globālo cilvēces attīstības ciklu dziļāka izpratne ir jo īpaši aktuāla, izstrādājot varbūtīgākos globālās pasaules attīstības s…
The basic rules of social macrodynamics. The theory of reflexivity by George Soros
2012
Darbā apskatīti svarīgākie sociālās organizācijas evolūcijas mehānismi, kuri balstās uz sabiedrības kā atvērtas sistēmas modeli ar pozitīvu atgriezenisku saiti. Šādai sistēmas organizācijai pamatā ir Džordža Sorosa refleksivitātes teorija un viņa buma modelis, kurš pagaidām vispilnīgāk izskaidro sabiedrībā un tirgū notiekošos procesus neizmantojot matemātisko aprakstu.
Detection of Invisible Damages in ‘Rojo Brillante’ Persimmon Fruit at Different Stages Using Hyperspectral Imaging and Chemometrics
2021
[EN] The main cause of flesh browning in 'Rojo Brillante' persimmon fruit is mechanical damage caused during harvesting and packing. Innovation and research on nondestructive techniques to detect this phenomenon in the packing lines are necessary because this type of alteration is often only seen when the final consumer peels the fruit. In this work, we have studied the application of hyperspectral imaging in the range of 450-1040 nm to detect mechanical damage without any external symptoms. The fruit was damaged in a controlled manner. Later, images were acquired before and at 0, 1, 2 and 3 days after damage induction. First, the spectral data captured from the images were analysed through…
Global Food Prices and Domestic Inflation: Some Cross-Country Evidence
2015
We study the impact of global food price shocks on domestic inflation in a large group of countries. For advanced economies, a 10% increase in global food inflation raises domestic inflation by about 0.5 percentage point after a year; however, the impact has declined over time and become less persistent. The global food price shocks of the 2000s had a much bigger impact on domestic inflation in emerging and developing economies than in advanced economies. This could reflect the smaller share of food in the consumption baskets in advanced economies. We also provide evidence that inflation expectations are more anchored in advanced than in emerging economies, which could also explain the smal…
Effects of the intensity of use of social media on brand equity: An empirical study in a tourist destination
2018
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive research of the effects of the intensity of use of social media on destination brand equity. The authors use the schema theory and a multidimensional approach of brand equity to analyse how social media communication affects brand awareness, brand image, customer value, brand quality and loyalty.Design/methodology/approachThe authors carried out a quantitative study through a personal survey with structured questionnaire. The study population were international tourists, over 18 years of age, who were visiting the city of Valencia, Spain. Respondents were asked to take the questionnaire upon arrival in Valencia, that is, before …
Effects of PET packaging on the quality of an orange juice made from concentrate
2004
An orange juice made from concentrate was conditioned in three different PET (PolyEthylene Terephtalate) and glass packagings. Influence of storage conditions (length of storage, light, oxygen) on vitamin C content, browning index, and colour were measured. Results show that permeability to oxygen of PET packagings is the major factor detrimentally affecting the above parameters.
Self-organisation, semantics and anthropic principle in a unified context.
Balstoties uz atsevišķiem filozofiskajiem un reliģiskiem pamatpriekšstatiem, fiziku, nelineāru sarežģītu sistēmu dinamiku un pašorganizācjas koncepciju, kā arī psiholoģiju autors mēģina izveidot hierarhisku modeli, kurā semantiskā apziņa veidojas integrācijas ceļā un ir tikai viens no sarežģītu sistēmu pašorganizācijas hierarhijas koka līmeņiem. Semantikas un pašorganizācijas koncepcijas kopsakarībā tiek analizēti jautājumi par to kāpēc ar vienkāršo var izzināt sarežģīto, kas vispār padara par iespējamu izzināt dabu. Tas ir par duālismu, ka bez sarežģītā nav vienkāršais un bez vienkāršā nav sarežģītais. Būtībā tas ir arī jautājums par antropo principu, kas licis brīnīties un sajūsmināties g…
