Remarkable ancient divergences amongst neglected lorisiform primates
2015
Lorisiform primates (Primates: Strepsirrhini: Lorisiformes) represent almost 10% of the living primate species and are widely distributed in sub-Saharan Africa and South/South-East Asia; however, their taxonomy, evolutionary history, and biogeography are still poorly understood. In this study we report the largest molecular phylogeny in terms of the number of represented taxa. We sequenced the complete mitochondrial cytochrome b gene for 86 lorisiform specimens, including ∼80% of all the species currently recognized. Our results support the monophyly of the Galagidae, but a common ancestry of the Lorisinae and Perodicticinae (family Lorisidae) was not recovered. These three lineages have ea…
The evolution of palate shape in the Lepilemur‐Cheirogaleidae clade (Primates: Strepsirrhini).
2020
15 pages; International audience; Objectives: Phylogenies consistently group the folivorous Lepilemur species with the small-bodied insectivorous-frugivorous cheirogaleids. Juvenile lepilemurs and adult cheirogaleids share allometries in most aspects of skull morphology, except the palate. We investigated potential influences on palate shape in these taxa and several outgroups using geometric morphometrics.Materials and methods: Our sample included representatives of four extant strepsirrhine families, Cheirogaleidae (including Lepilemurinae), Lemuridae, Indriidae, and Galagidae, and one subfossil Megaladapis. Our dataset comprised 32 landmarks collected from 397 specimens representing 15 g…
Anthropoid versus strepsirhine status of the African Eocene primates Algeripithecus and Azibius: craniodental evidence.
2009
Recent fossil discoveries have demonstrated that Africa and Asia were epicentres for the origin and/or early diversification of the major living primate lineages, including both anthropoids (monkeys, apes and humans) and crown strepsirhine primates (lemurs, lorises and galagos). Competing hypotheses favouring either an African or Asian origin for anthropoids rank among the most hotly contested issues in paleoprimatology. The Afrocentric model for anthropoid origins rests heavily on the >45 Myr old fossil Algeripithecus minutus from Algeria, which is widely acknowledged to be one of the oldest known anthropoids. However, the phylogenetic position of Algeripithecus with respect to other p…
Hip hop subkultūras popularitātes pieaugums Latvijā
2019
Bakalaura darba “Hip hop subkultūras popularitātes pieaugums Latvijā” mērķis tika noskaidrots. Tika secināts, ka Hip hop subkultūra Latvijā ir vai nu pazudusi pa visam vai eksistē tikai pagrīdē, taču Hip hop elements reps, kas tika pētīts pastiprināti šī darba ietvaros, ir kļuvis ļoti pieprasīts Latvijā un turpina savu popularitātes kāpumu. Šī darba teorētiskajā daļā tika apskatītas dažādas teorētiskās pieejas un izpratnes, piemēram, popkultūra, subkultūras, reprezentācija un Hip hop elements reps. Bakalaura darba empīriskajā daļā tiek noskaidrots, kā un cik lielā mērā Hip Hop subkultūra Latvijā ir pieņēmusies vai kritusies popularitātē. Sākotnēji tiek veikta kvantitatīvā kontentanalīze par…

Project report : Lessons learned from terminology harmonisation
2022
A common understanding of language and the meaning of concepts is needed for communications in general, and can be crucial to save lives in large rescue operations. Redningshåndboka (the National Rescue handbook) provides a common glossary for first responders’ communications across all sectors in training and practice. However, today each sector maintains their own glossaries, acronyms and jargon, causing potential misunderstandings in joint operations. In this report we outline lessons learned from national and international standardisation and additional practical project outcomes to contribute to terminology harmonisation from the INSITU project.
The Phylogenetic position of Daubentonia madagascariensis (Gmelin, 1788; primates, Strepsirhini) as revealed by chromosomal analysis
2012
One of the major topics in primate evolution is the phylogenetic position of the bizarre Daubentonia madagascariensis (DMA, aye-aye). The principal points that have been discussed for many decades are whether the aye-aye is: (i) the sister group of primates; (ii) the sister group of strepsirhines; or (iii) the sister group of lemurs. Very little is known about Daubentonia evolution, particularly on the chromosomal background. The present report focuses on the chromosomal history of this species. We used available chromosome painting data as the main source to identify conserved chromosomes, chromosomal segments and syntenic associations that have characterized the aye-aye karyotype. The dat…

Technical Advance:Soluble OX40 molecule mimics regulatory T cell modulatory activity on Fc{varepsilon}RI-dependent mast cell degranulation.
2011
Tregs play a central role in modulating FcεRI-dependent MC effector functions in the course of the allergic response. Cellular interaction depends on the constitutive expression of OX40 on Tregs and the OX40L counterpart on MCs. Study of OX40L signaling on MCs is hampered by the need of a highly purified molecule, which triggers OX40L specifically. We now report that sOX40 mimics the physiological activity of Treg interaction by binding to activated MCs. When treated with sOX40, activated MCs showed decreased degranulation and Ca++ influx, whereas PLC-γ2 phosphorylation remained unaffected. Once injected into experimental animals, sOX40 not only located within the endothelium but also in pa…
Nublu repa tekstu tematika
2021
Bakalaura darba „Nublu repa tekstu tematika” mērķis ir analizēt Nublu dziesmu tekstus, tos salīdzināt ar vispār zināmām repa tēmām un saprast vai reps var būt veids, kā nodot svarīgu informāciju jauniešiem, viņiem saprotamā veidā. Darba teorētiskajā daļā ir sniegts ieskats tekstu analīzē un dzejas tulkošanā. Praktiskajā daļā autore ir vaikusi Nublu dziesmu burtiskus tulkojumus, dziesmu tēmu apkopojumu un to analīzi, un salīdzinājumu ar tipiskākajām repa tēmām šajā žanrā pasaulē. Darba noslēgumā autore secina, ka Nublu dziesmās ir sastopamas tēmas, kas tiek bieži apspriestas repa žanrā, kā arī tēmas, kas būtiski atšķiras, jo vēsta par sociāli aktuālākām problēmām tieši Nublu dzīvē.
