Vajadzību analīze angļu valodas kursa skolas medmāsām izstrādei un mācīšanai
2021
Migrācijas rezultātā, arvien vairāk profesijās rodas situācijas, kurās nepieciešamas dažādu valodu zināšanas komunikācijai ar klientiem un, skolu medmāsu gadījumā – skolēniem, jeb pacientiem. Tā kā angļu valoda mūsdienās tiek uzskatīta par internacionālu valodu saziņai visā pasaulē, tāpēc šī Diplomdarba mērķis ir izpētīt, kāda vajadzību analīze būtu nepieciešama izstrādājot un mācot angļu valodas kursu skolu medmāsām. Lai sasniegtu izstrādāto mērķi, kursa autori veica medmāsu darba apraksta analīzi, skolu medmāsu anketēšanu, lai noskaidrotu vajadzības un vēlmes, interviju ar izvēlētajiem kursa dalībniekiem, dalībnieku zināšanu pārbaudi testā pēc kursa beigām, kā arī vēl vienu dalībnieku ank…

Fractalkine Signaling and Microglia Functions in the Developing Brain.
2015
Microglial cells are the resident macrophages of the central nervous system (CNS). Besides their classical roles in pathological conditions, these immune cells also dynamically interact with neurons and influence their structure and function in physiological conditions. The neuronal chemokine fractalkine and its microglial receptor CX3CR1 are one important signaling pathway involved in these reciprocal interactions. In the present review, we will discuss recent evidence indicating that fractalkine signaling also determines several functions of microglial cells during normal CNS development. It has been known for a decade that microglial cells influence the neuronal death that normally occur…

Nicotinic receptor agonists as neuroprotective/neurotrophic drugs. Progress in molecular mechanisms
2007
In the present work we reviewed recent advances concerning neuroprotective/neurotrophic effects of acute or chronic nicotine exposure, and the signalling pathways mediating these effects, including mechanisms implicated in nicotine addiction and nAChR desensitization. Experimental and clinical data largely indicate long-lasting effects of nicotine and nicotinic agonists that imply a neuroprotective/neurotrophic role of nAChR activation, involving mainly alpha 7 and alpha 4 beta 2 nAChR subtypes, as evidenced using selective nAChR agonists. Compounds interacting with neuronal nAChRs have the potential to be neuroprotective and treatment with nAChR agonists elicits long-lasting neurotrophic e…
Haha moments : applying brain research to technology design
2018
Mood problems are very damaging and far-reaching, affecting millions of people worldwide. More attempts should have been made by design researchers to form innovative and feasible design concepts, against current technological background, to produce practical technical artifacts to solve the issue. This monograph focuses on Design Science research and its collaboration with Neuroscience to seek ways to help people with negative moods, depression in particular. Humor, exerting positive influences on both physical and mental health and impacting every aspect concerning social interactions, is worth investigating. Studies on the cognitive processing mechanism of humor appreciation provide know…
Search for a diffuse flux of high-energy ¿µ with the ANTARES neutrino telescope
2011
A search for a diffuse flux of astrophysical muon neutrinos, using data collected by the ANTARES neutrino telescope is presented. A $(0.83\times 2\pi)$ sr sky was monitored for a total of 334 days of equivalent live time. The searched signal corresponds to an excess of events, produced by astrophysical sources, over the expected atmospheric neutrino background. The observed number of events is found compatible with the background expectation. Assuming an $E^{-2}$ flux spectrum, a 90% c.l. upper limit on the diffuse $\nu_\mu$ flux of $E^2\Phi_{90%} = 5.3 \times 10^{-8} \ \mathrm{GeV\ cm^{-2}\ s^{-1}\ sr^{-1}} $ in the energy range 20 TeV - 2.5 PeV is obtained. Other signal models with differ…
GW170817: Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Neutron Star Inspiral
2017
On August 17, 2017 at 12-41:04 UTC the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational-wave detectors made their first observation of a binary neutron star inspiral. The signal, GW170817, was detected with a combined signal-to-noise ratio of 32.4 and a false-alarm-rate estimate of less than one per 8.0×104 years. We infer the component masses of the binary to be between 0.86 and 2.26 M, in agreement with masses of known neutron stars. Restricting the component spins to the range inferred in binary neutron stars, we find the component masses to be in the range 1.17-1.60 M, with the total mass of the system 2.74-0.01+0.04M. The source was localized within a sky region of 28 deg2 (90% probabili…
Helsepersonells erfaringer og tanker om bruk av frivillige i palliativ omsorg
2017
Health care personnel’s experiences and thoughts on the use of volunteers in palliative care in a social perspectiveThe government of Norway is planning for the municipalities’ health care resources, including volunteering. The purpose of this study was to shed light on the experiences and thoughts of a group of health care personnel on the use of volunteers in palliative care in the community health care services, and to discuss the findings in a social perspective. Individual interviews were conducted with seven nurses and three nursing assistants. Using a qualitative content analysis three categories emerged: "The importance of organization, clarification and responsibility," "Qualificat…
Role of the NF-kB pathway and nitric oxide in mammary gland involution after weaning. Implications in breast cancer
2013
INTRODUCCIÓN La glándula mamaria es un órgano dinámico que alcanza su máximo desarrollo funcional con la lactancia, momento en el cual, a través de la producción de leche, aporta nutrientes y protección inmunológica a las crías de los mamíferos. Cuando la lactancia finaliza con el destete, el exceso de tejido glandular debe desaparecer y la glándula sufre una extensa remodelación hasta alcanzar nuevamente un estado pre-gestacional, preparada para un nuevo ciclo. La involución del tejido mamario es un proceso complejo durante el cual se suceden de forma coordinada una serie de eventos como la muerte de las células epiteliales secretoras, la proliferación de tejido adiposo circundante y la re…
