INSTITUTIONALISATION OF RETURN MIGRATION IN LATVIA: THE CASE OF REGIONAL COORDINATORS
2021
Emigration countries such as Latvia institutionally should address the negative consequences of the ageing populations' economic and demographic challenges. To this aim, in 2018 network of five regional return migration coordinators was established to foster and nationally encourage return migration. The primary function of the regional coordinator is to foster and facilitate requests of potential return migrants.Drawing on interview materials collected in 2020 with return migration coordinators at the regional level – Latgale, Vidzeme, Zemgale, Kurzeme and Riga, we illustrate good-practice of return migration institutionalisation in Latvia.Our study focuses on three main fields of interest…
Charged supramolecular assemblies of surfactant molecules in gas phase
2016
The aim of this review is to critically analyze recent literature on charged supramolecular assemblies formed by surfactant molecules in gas phase. Apart our specific interest on this research area, the stimuli to undertake the task arise from the widespread theoretical and applicative benefits emerging from a comprehensive view of this topic. In fact, the study of the formation, stability, and physicochemical peculiarities of non-covalent assemblies of surfactant molecules in gas phase allows to unveil interesting aspects such as the role of attractive, repulsive, and steric intermolecular interactions as driving force of supramolecular organization in absence of interactions with surround…
L'alcohol, element distorsionador de les relacions socials
2013
El consum d'alcohol és un dels principals problemes socials i de salut pública a què s'enfronta la societat actual. Es tracta d'un hàbit que es troba fortament influenciat pel context econòmic, social i cultural, encara que l’opinió pública no conceba el seu consum com una problemàtica de primer ordre, a pesar de ser la droga més consumida i la que més problemes sanitaris, socials, familiars i econòmics genera.

Porque diez años no son nada : de @tic revista d'innovació educativa a Research in Education and Learning Innovation Archives
2019
Research in Education and Learning Innovation Archives (REALIA) es el nuevo nombre de la revista que desde 2008 y hasta 2018 publicó el Servei de Formació i Innovació Educativa de la Universitat de València.. Al igual que antes lo han hecho otras, en 2019 @tic revista d’innovacióeducativa ha cambiado su nombre. En este texto se repasan los diez años de historia de @tic revista d’innovació educativa, se exponen los motivos de ese cambio y se presentan las novedades introducidas y algunas perspectivas de futuro.
Vote buying and Its effect on democracy and development in Uganda : a case of Rwamucucu Sub-County, Kabale District, South Western Uganda
2016
Master thesis development management - University of Agder 2016 In this study, I have investigated vote buying and vote selling as a phenomenon in Uganda, using Rwamucucu Sub-County as a case. The major aim has been to understand local people’s perception of vote buying and selling and its effect on democracy and development. I have utilized a qualitative research strategy, using mainly semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions and field observations. The data were collected during the time of the 2016 Uganda general elections. Results indicate that vote buying has been extensive in Rwamucucu, and that it had increased significantly during the last 20 years. The study also shows t…
Good clinical response, remission, and predictors of remission in rheumatoid arthritis patients treated with tumor necrosis factor-α blockers: The GI…
2007
OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence of good clinical response and remission in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with longstanding disease treated with anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) drugs at outpatient clinics. METHODS: Retrospective national study of 14 academic tertiary referral rheumatology medical centers. RA patients with a Disease Activity Score (DAS28) > 3.2 were defined as having active disease and could start TNF-alpha blockers. All patients received one TNF-alpha blocker plus methotrexate (10-20 mg/wk). At the third month the patients were categorized as responders or nonresponders, based on improvement of at least 0.25 of the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ).…
Etanercept maintains the clinical benefit achieved by infliximab in patients with rheumatoid arthritis who discontinued infliximab because of side ef…
2007
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of switching to etanercept treatment in patients with rheumatoid arthritis who already responded to infliximab, but presented side effects. Methods: Charts of 553 patients with rheumatoid arthritis were retrospectively reviewed to select patients who responded to the treatment with infliximab and switched to etanercept because of occurrence of adverse effects. Clinical data were gathered during 24 weeks of etanercept treatment and for the same period of infliximab treatment before infliximab was stopped. Disease Activity Score computed on 44 joints (DAS-44), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) 1st hour, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of pain, Health Assessm…
Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel peptidomimetics as rhodesain inhibitors
2016
Novel rhodesain inhibitors were developed by combining an enantiomerically pure 3-bromoisoxazoline warhead with a 1,4-benzodiazepine scaffold as specific recognition moiety. All compounds were proven to inhibit rhodesain with Ki values in the low-micromolar range. Their activity towards rhodesain was found to be coupled to an in vitro antitrypanosomal activity, with IC50 values ranging from the mid-micromolar to a low-micromolar value for the most active rhodesain inhibitor (R,S,S)-3. All compounds showed a good selectivity against the target enzyme since all of them were proven to be poor inhibitors of human cathepsin L. Novel rhodesain inhibitors were developed by combining an enantiomeri…
Olive oil intake and risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality in the PREDIMED Study
2014
[Background] It is unknown whether individuals at high cardiovascular risk sustain a benefit in cardiovascular disease from increased olive oil consumption. The aim was to assess the association between total olive oil intake, its varieties (extra virgin and common olive oil) and the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality in a Mediterranean population at high cardiovascular risk.
Operators in Rigged Hilbert Spaces, Gel’fand Bases and Generalized Eigenvalues
2022
Given a self-adjoint operator A in a Hilbert space H, we analyze its spectral behavior when it is expressed in terms of generalized eigenvectors. Using the formalism of Gel’fand distribution bases, we explore the conditions for the generalized eigenspaces to be one-dimensional, i.e., for A to have a simple spectrum.
