Ministra statuss un ministram izvirzāmās prasības

2016

Pētījums ir veltīts Latvijas Republikas Ministru Kabineta ministriem kā koleģiālās institūcijas locekļiem, viņu statusam un viņiem izvirzāmām prasībām. Pieredzējuši un kvalificēti ministri ir valdības efektīvas darbības priekšnoteikums, tomēr, Latvijā pašlaik spēkā esošais regulējums nenodrošina to, ka valdība tiek veidota kā komanda ar līdzīgiem mērķiem un valsts attīstības vīziju. Darba mērķis ir izpētīt nacionālo un ārvalstu regulējumu, un salīdzinot to, noskaidrot, vai un kāds tiesiskais regulējums ir nepieciešams, lai nodrošinātu Ministru kabineta efektīvu darbību. Izpētot ārvalstu regulējumu, darba autore ir nonākusi pie secinājuma, ka visoptimālākais valdības darbības uzlabošanas vei…

Using Talking Books to Support Early Reading Development

2009

This chapter explores the question of how interactive multimedia talking books can promote young children’s literacy development. Whilst commercially available talking books can motivate young children to read, there is little evidence that they are linked to the development of skills known to promote reading itself. The ‘Bangers and Mash’ talking books (Chera, 2000), were designed to address this issue, and we review studies that evaluated their effectiveness as classroom resources that could promote reading-related skills and abilities. We then consider the various barriers to collaborative learning in Early Years classrooms, and describe how resources like talking books could address som…

Chiens chez Modiano: análisis interdisciplinar de la representación animal en su obra

2017

Más que por un animalismo strictu sensu, la obra de Patrick Modiano se caracteriza por un profundo animalismo latente, en consonancia con una escritura minimalista marcada por la atenuación y por la poética de la ambigüedad. La investigación desvela cómo los cuentos de Marcel Aymé aportan a su imaginario de lector infantil un mundo en el que los animales viven y dialogan con una pareja de hermanas con las que el pequeño Modiano se identifica junto a Rudy, su hermano pequeño. Los accidentes que sufrieron dos perros con los que Modiano tuvo relación de niño le hicieron percibir una experiencia de la muerte, que precedió al trauma de la temprana desaparición de Rudy. A la influencia de Aymé se…

Strongly Coupled Coherent Phonons in Single-Layer MoS 2

2019

We present a transient absorption setup combining broadband detection over the visible-UV range with high temporal resolution ($\sim$20fs) which is ideally suited to trigger and detect vibrational coherences in different classes of materials. We generate and detect coherent phonons (CPs) in single layer (1L) MoS$_2$, as a representative semiconducting 1L-transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD), where the confined dynamical interaction between excitons and phonons is unexplored. The coherent oscillatory motion of the out-of-plane $A'_{1}$ phonons, triggered by the ultrashort laser pulses, dynamically modulates the excitonic resonances on a timescale of few tens fs. We observe an enhancement by…

The global ranking game : narrowing academic excellence through numerical objectification

2018

The objective of this article is to study some of the intended and unintended effects on academe of the evolving global ranking game. I will start with some broader points on the global ranking game, the formal terms and economic interests it promotes, then continue with a presentation of the Shanghai ranking and its main rival the Times Higher Education. Through reversed engineering, I will bring out the main problems of the Shanghai ranking. I will finish with some of the key features of the demand side, the uses and effects of the tool: the psychosocial mechanisms that reproduce ranking and the lock-ins it creates. peerReviewed

First observation and study of the K± → π±π0e+e− decay

2018

The NA48/2 experiment at CERN reports the first observation of the K-+/- -> pi(+/-)pi(0)e(+)e(-) decay from an exposure of 1.7 x 10(11) charged kaon decays recorded in 2003-2004. A sample of 4919 candidates with 4.9% background contamination allows the determination of the branching ratio in the full kinematic region, BR(K-+/- -> pi(+/-)pi(0)e(+)e(-)) = (4.24 +/- 0.14) x 10(-6). The study of the kinematic space shows evidence for a structure dependent contribution in agreement with predictions based on chiral perturbation theory. Several P- and CP-violating asymmetries are also evaluated.

Exploring early adolescents’ stressful IT use experiences

2022

Early adolescents are accustomed to using information technology (IT) for different purposes as a part of their everyday life. While IT use can provide many benefits, it can also include negative experiences, such as feelings of stress (i.e. technostress). Considering that young IT users’ technostress perspectives have remained limited in the literature, this paper attempts to contrast their experiences with aspects from earlier research. A qualitative content analysis of semi-structured interviews with 31 primary and secondary school students reveals that early adolescents have encountered stressful IT use experiences that vary based on the degree of stress. The experiences relate to diffe…

Muscle‐tendon morphology and function following long‐term exposure to repeated and strenuous mechanical loading

2020

We mapped structural and functional characteristics of muscle‐tendon units in a population exposed to very long‐term routine overloading. Twenty‐eight military academy cadets (age: 21.00 ± 1.1 yrs; height: 176.1 ± 4.8 cm; mass: 73.8 ± 7.0 kg) exposed for over 24 months to repetitive overloading were profiled via ultrasonography with a senior subgroup of them (n = 11; age = 21.4 ± 1.0 yrs; height = 176.5 ± 4.8 cm; mass = 71.4 ± 6.6 kg) also tested while walking and marching on a treadmill. A group of eleven ethnicity‐ and aged‐matched civilians (age = 21.6 ± 0.7 yrs; height = 176.8 ± 4.3 cm; mass = 74.6 ± 5.6 kg) was also profiled and tested. Cadets and civilians exhibited similar morphology…

Fatty acid composition as biomarkers of freshwater microalgae: analysis of 37 strains of microalgae in 22 genera and in seven classes

2013

The fatty acid (FA) composition of algae is an important determinant of their food quality for consumers, and FAs can also be used as biomarkers for biochemical and energetic pathways in food webs. FA analyses of 7 freshwater algal classes and 37 strains showed clear similarity within classes and strong differences amongst classes. Class was a dominant factor (66.4%) explaining variation in FA signatures of microalgae. The 7 algal classes comprised 4 separate groups according to their FA profiles: (1) Chlorophyceae and Trebouxiophyceae, (2) Bacillariophyceae, (3) Cryptophyceae, Chrysophyceae, and Raphidophyceae, and (4) Euglenophyceae. Each group had a characteristic FA composition, althoug…
