Oxygen uptake, heart rate and blood lactate levels in female horseback riders during the obstacle test track
2020
The purpose of this study was to examine endurance performance by recording oxygen uptake, heart rate and blood lactate during the obstacle test track, equivalent to competitive performance in female horseback riders. In total 42 female riders participated in the study (show jumping, SJ n = 16, eventing, E n = 26). Age, height and weight of the total group were 29.0(9.2) yrs, 1.68(0.06) m, and 68.1(10.3) kg, respectively. Participants rode a minimum of 4 times per/week, and the riding level was from national to international. VO2peak/VO2mean and HRpeak/HRmean of the total group during the obstacle test track (OTT) were 34.4(5.0)/26.4(4.0) ml/kg/min and 184.4(9.6)/178.1(10.2) bpm. BLa concen…
Grupas "Skyforger" ietekme uz nacionālās identitātes veidošanos subkultūrās
2018
Bakalaura darba “Grupas “Skyforger” ietekme uz nacionālās identitātes veidošanos subkultūrās” mērķis ir noskaidrot, vai folkmetāla/pagānmetāla grupa ir spējīga veidot tās auditorijā nacionālās identitātes sajūtu un patriotismu. Darba teorētiskajā daļā tika apskatīta šī mūzikas žanra vēsture, rašanās iemesli, tā pasniegtās vērtības un metālistu subkultūras vēsture un vērtības. Darba empīriskās daļas datu ievākšanai izmantota daļēji strukturēta intervija ar grupas līderi, fokusgrupas diskusija ar metālistu subkultūras pārstāvjiem un aptauja. Darba rezultātos secināts, ka grupas “Skyforger” mūzika tiešā veidā nerada patriotisma un nacionālās identitātes izjūtu tās auditorijā, bet liek lepoties…

Évolution de la durée et du tempo dans les enregistrements du Sacre du printemps d’Igor Stravinski de 1929 à 2019. Une cartographie des styles d’inte…
2022
Le Sacre du printemps constitue une oeuvre clé pour l’histoire de l’enregistrement et pour la musicologie de l’interprétation. Igor Stravinski considérait ses enregistrements comme établissant un modèle d’interprétation faisant autorité, mais c’est un fait connu qu’il ne respecte pas ses propres indications de tempo et fait un usage plus ou moins important du rubato. Ces incertitudes sur les tempi ont créé le doute et ont ouvert un espace de liberté pour les interprètes. Cet article s’est donné pour objectif d’examiner à nouveaux frais l’évolution de l’interprétation du Sacre des points de vue de la durée et du tempo. Le recours à un vaste corpus de 96 versions discographiques enregistrées …
Longitudinal Leisure Activity Profiles and Their Associations with Recovery Experiences and Job Performance
2017
We aimed to identify longitudinal leisure activity profiles among working adults and their links to recovery experiences and job performance. Leisure activities, recovery experiences, and job performance were investigated among 831 employees using survey data collected in spring 2013 (T1) and 2014 (T2). Through latent profile analysis (LPA), four stable longitudinal leisure activity profiles were identified. “Social Sports(wo)men” (46%) engaged in physical and social activities but rarely in creative or cultural activities. “Active Artists” (23%) pursued all leisure activities, particularly creative activities. “Socially & Culturally Inactives” (17%) exercised frequently but seldom engaged …
Surface soil water content estimation based on thermal inertia and Bayesian smoothing
2014
Soil water content plays a critical role in agro-hydrology since it regulates the rainfall partition between surface runoff and infiltration and, the energy partition between sensible and latent heat fluxes. Current thermal inertia models characterize the spatial and temporal variability of water content by assuming a sinusoidal behavior of the land surface temperature between subsequent acquisitions. Such behavior implicitly supposes clear sky during the whole interval between the thermal acquisitions; but, since this assumption is not necessarily verified even if sky is clear at the exact epoch of acquisition, , the accuracy of the model may be questioned due to spatial and temporal varia…
Mean Interplanetary Magnetic Field Measurement Using the ARGO-YBJ Experiment
2011
The sun blocks cosmic ray particles from outside the solar system, forming a detectable shadow in the sky map of cosmic rays detected by the ARGO-YBJ experiment in Tibet. Because the cosmic ray particles are positive charged, the magnetic field between the sun and the earth deflects them from straight trajectories and results in a shift of the shadow from the true location of the sun. Here we show that the shift measures the intensity of the field which is transported by the solar wind from the sun to the earth.
Solidago canadensis un Heracleum sosnowskyi ēterisko eļļu herbicidālā un fungicidālā iedarbība
2022
Strauja invazīvo augu sugu izplatīšanās tiek uzskatīta par vienu no galvenajiem bioloģiskās daudzveidības samazināšanās virzītājspēkiem, kā rezultātā tiek traucēta ekosistēmu pakalpojumu nodrošināšana, kas rada negatīvas ekoloģiskās sekas, ekonomiskus zaudējumus un kaitējumu cilvēka veselībai. Invazīvo augu sugu ierobežošana ir dārga un bieži vien ekonomiski neizdevīga, kā arī ķīmiskā ierobežošana var radīt draudus cilvēkam, tāpēc izdevīgāk būtu šīs sugas ilgtspējīgi izmantot, vienlaikus cenšoties nepieļaut jaunu invazīvo augu sugu ienākšanu Latvijā. Latvijā izplatītāko invazīvo augu sugu Sosnovska latvāņa un Kanādas zeltslotiņas augu daļas ir bagātas ar ēterisko eļļu, kurai var būt herbici…
Scientific simulations and optimization of the XGIS instrument on board THESEUS
2020
The XGIS (X and Gamma Imaging Spectrometer) is one of the three instruments onboard the THESEUS mission (ESA M5, currently in Phase-A). Thanks to its wide field of view and good imaging capabilities, it will efficiently detect and localize gamma-ray bursts and other transients in the 2-150 keV sky, and also provide spectroscopy up to 10 MeV. Its current design has been optimized by means of scientific simulations based on a Monte Carlo model of the instrument coupled to a state-of-the-art description of the populations of long and short GRBs extending to high redshifts. We describe the optimization process that led to the current design of the XGIS, based on two identical units with partial…
Vicarious calibration of MERIS over dark waters in the near infrared
2005
Abstract We propose to evaluate the calibration of MERIS (MEdium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer) over dark waters in the near infrared. We work with 5 months of data, from July to November 2003, over five world sites: Venice and Lampedusa in Italy, El Arenosillo in Spain, MOBY/Lanai and CalCOFI/San Nicolas in the United States. The sites are all equipped with a CIMEL station that forms part of the AERONET network. The basic idea is to associate CIMEL sky radiance measurements with MERIS level-1b data in a twin geometry which corresponds to the same scattering angle. This vicarious calibration relies on an accurate description of the atmospheric scattering based on the CIMEL measurements. A…
