Vaccines Through Centuries: Major Cornerstones of Global Health
2015
Multiple cornerstones have shaped the history of vaccines, which may contain live-attenuated viruses, inactivated organisms/viruses, inactivated toxins, or merely segments of the pathogen that could elicit an immune response. The story began with Hippocrates 400 B.C. with his description of mumps and diphtheria. No further discoveries were recorded until 1100 A.D. when the smallpox vaccine was described. During the eighteenth century, vaccines for cholera and yellow fever were reported and Edward Jenner, the father of vaccination and immunology, published his work on smallpox. The nineteenth century was a major landmark, with the "Germ Theory of disease" of Louis Pasteur, the discovery of t…
Valdības loma mazo un vidējo uzņēmumu attīstībā Baltijas valstīs
2019
Mazajiem un vidējiem uzņēmumiem ir nozīmīga loma valstu attīstībā visā pasaulē. Uzņēmumu konkurētspēja ir liela daļa no visas valsts konkurētspējas. Tāpēc īpaša uzmanība jāpievērš mazo un vidējo uzņēmumu attīstībai. Darba mērķis ir novērtēt dažādu atbalsta pasākumu ietekmi uz mazo un vidējo uzņēmumu attīstību un sniegumu, lai risinātu problēmars, kas kavē to veiksmīgu attīstību. Pētījuma teorētiskā daļa ietver dažādu autoru veiktos MVU raksturojumus, kā arī iespējamos atbalsta pasākumus. Lai risinātu šo tēmu, tika izmantota kvalitatīvo pētījuma metode. Tika aptaujāti eksperti uzņēmējdarbības jomā, pēc tam tos analizēja autors. Pētījuma secinājumi noder politikas veidotājiem, komercbankām un…
Mazu un vidēju uzbekistānas uzņēmumu eksports: Lauksaimniecības produktu pārbaude
2020
Neskatoties uz pastāvīgu Uzbekistānas Republikas eksporta kvantitatīvo un kvalitatīvo rādītāju pieaugumu un ārējās tirdzniecības liberalizāciju, eksporta aktivitāte parāda vairākus faktorus, kuriem ir būtiska ierobežojoša ietekme uz MVU republikas eksporta attīstību. Tāpēc šis pētījums tika veikts ar mērķi izcelt un novērot izaicinājumus un nākotnes izredzes, ar kurām saskaras MVU, Uzbekistānas lauksaimniecības un pārtikas eksporta pierādījumos. Pieejas pamatā ir MVU eksporta novērošana, galvenokārt lauksaimniecības un pārtikas eksporta vide, tiešsaistes un papīra recenzijas akadēmiskajos žurnālos, grāmatās un iepriekšējos pētījumos. Pētījumā izmantota kvalitatīvā metode, un dati tiek apkop…

Paesi abbandonati e il ritorno della vita con l'arte
2020
In Italia, nella seconda metà del Novecento, numerosi furono i centri urbani abbandonati, a causa, ad esempio, dell’emigrazione, dei dissesti idrogeologici e degli eventi sismici. In Sicilia, i paesi di Gibellina, Salaparuta, Poggioreale, nella provincia di Trapani e Montevago, nella provincia di Agrigento, dopo il terremoto, del gennaio 1968, che colpì la parte occidentale dell’Isola, furono abbandonati e, negli anni successivi, ricostruiti, anche in siti distanti. Certamente l’attenzione iniziale fu rivolta alla costruzione delle nuove città, mentre dopo i danni dovuti alle scosse sismiche i resti degli antichi paesi furono lasciati al loro lento ed inesorabile degrado. Più recentemente, …
Konceptuālo metaforu lietojums rakstos par jauniem un maziem uzņēmumiem
2015
Bakalaura darbā tiek pētīts konceptuālo metaforu lietojums rakstos par jauniem un maziem uzņēmumiem. Bakalaura darba mērķis ir identificēt, kā metaforas funkcionē rakstos par jauniem un maziem uzņēmumiem. Bakalaura darbā autors apskata metaforu veidus un konceptuālās metaforas, žurnālistikas žanru un rakstus par jauniem un maziem uzņēmumiem, kā arī Bakalaura analizē konceptuālās metaforas, kas izmantotas rakstos par jauniem un maziem uzņēmumiem divos tiešsaistes avotos. Izejot no praktiskās daļas pētījumiem, autors secina, ka metaforu skaits rakstos par jauniem un maziem uzņēmumiem ir atšķirīgs – dažos rakstos ir vairāk vārdu, bet mazāk metaforu, kamēr citos rakstos ir mazāk vārdu, bet vair…

El reto de la internacionalización para las Pequeñas y Medianas Empresas españolas
2017
While many studies have widely worked out on finding out the different relationships underlying the birth and prompt development of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), we argue that getting an in depth approach to the problematic scene that takes place once they are keen on having a successful internationalization plan may have been understudied. Therefore, the aim of this research is that of identifying critical challenges faced by Spanish SMEs during an internationalization process. We do so by taking a qualitative approach. The current research contributes to the literature by adding new and renewed perspectives to the field, thanks to the qualitative analysis carried out through four i…
