Intertekstualitāte J.Toboso darbos par Melno virssulaini
2015
Intertekstualitāte ir plaši apspriests termins kopš tā izveides 60-tajos gados, un tas tiek izmantots literatūrzinatnē un mākslā. Taču interetekstualitātes nozīme ir atsvešinājusies no tās sākotējās nozīmes un rada neskaitāmus jautājumus par spīti plasajam pielietojumam. Vēl aizvien turpinās diskusijas par to, kas īsti ir intertekstualitāte, kādas ir tās īpašības, veidi un kāda ir tās ietekme. Tā liek mums uzdot jautājumu - cik ļoti mēs varam uzticēties autoram un viņa oriģinalitātei un patiesumam. Jūlija Kristeva skaidroja intertekstualitāti kā zīmju sistēmu pārvietošanu citā(s) sistēmā(s), un viņa centās apvienot Ferdināna de Sosīra semiotiku un Mihaila Bahtina dialoģismu. Mūsdienās inter…
Vaikutteet ja viittaukset japanilaiseen populaarikulttuuriin My Little Pony : Friendship Is Magic -sarjassa
2017
Tutkielmani tarkoitus on osoittaa, mitkä ovat My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic TV-sarjan visuaaliset vaikutteet ja viittaukset japanilaiseen populaarikulttuuriin. Tutkimusmenetelmänä hyödynsin intertekstuaalisuutta, kun vertasin ponisarjan visuaalista materiaalia japanilaiseen kuvastoon. Tutkimuksessani vertasin ponisarjan visuaalista kuvastoa anime- ja mangatyyleihin ja viittauksiin japanilaiseen populaarimediaan. Tutkimukseni tukena hyödynsin ponisarjan tekijöitten haastatteluja kuin myös fanien reaktioita ja huomioita sarjasta.
Mobilising Consumers for Food Waste Reduction in Finnish Media Discourse
2019
Raippalinna explores how consumers are mobilised for food waste reduction in media discourse. Food waste reduction initiatives are often criticised for putting the responsibility on individual consumers, but little research exists on the mobilisation of consumers in actual contexts. Through critical discourse analysis of media texts, Raippalinna investigates how the food waste problem and consumers are constructed in relation to each other in Finlands leading newspaper Helsingin Sanomat 2010–2017. The analysis demonstrates that the discourses of consumer mobilisation appear mostly as consumer education where the consumer’s role is to manage individual consumption and household practices. Th…
Augmented Reality Applications: The Impact of Usability and Emotional Perceptions on Tourists’ App Experiences
2019
There is a rising amount of research contributing to the knowledgebase of Augmented Reality (AR) application usage. However, up until now there is no sound understanding about how the emotional perception of AR application users impact on different types of experience. This paper aspires to contribute to this gap by analysing the link between usability, emotional perception (i.e. entertainment, playfulness and enjoyment), two types of experience viz. action- and emotional experience and users’ intention to use the app in a travel context. 796 questionnaires show that emotional experience is driven by entertainment while action experience is mainly triggered by playfulness. However, only emo…
Advertising in Latvia
2002
Latvia is one of the three Baltic States, and recovered its independence in 1991. The development of an advertising industry in Latvia started with the decay of the Soviet Union. The recovery of independence and the transition period to the market economy, as in all of the former USSR, required rapid development of the advertising industry. The birth and development of this field was inescapable, and was dictated by the competitive principles of the market economy. As with individual advertisements, the whole advertising market in Latvia is specific, and it is slowly developing its own character. Many foreign companies have entered the Latvian advertising market, each of them bringing its u…
The C-terminal antibody binding domain ofCandida albicansmp58 represents a protective epitope during candidiasis
2003
The 58-kDa surface mannoprotein of Candida albicans (mp58) elicits strong antibody responses during infection. Epitope mapping with sera from patients with candidiasis and control individuals indicated the presence of multiple IgG-reactive continuous epitopes on the protein, expanding both the amino- and carboxy-terminal domains and several internal regions. These immunoreactive regions were similar to the ones previously identified using sera from immunized animals. Two of the epitopic regions (including the C-terminal domain) showed increased reactivity with antibodies present in sera from patients with candidiasis as compared to control individuals. Patients who survived the infection di…
hTERT mRNA expression in urine as a useful diagnostic tool in bladder cancer. Comparison with cytology and NMP22 BladderCheck Test®
2018
Abstract Introduction To study the relationship between quantitative mRNA determination (hTERT) in patients with bladder tumor, history of bladder tumor, and in subjects without a history of this neoplasia. Material and methods A prospective randomized controlled study with 91 subjects included. The value of mRNA-hTERTN was determined in 63 patients with a history or suspicion of bladder tumor and in 28 controls. Urine samples were sent for evaluation of the mRNA level (hTERT), the cytological study and the NMP22 result. Results Differences were observed in mean hTERTN levels in each of the groups: tumor presence 21.33 ± 40.66, tumor history 2.16 ± 2.67, controls 0.9 ± 1.75 (p Conclusions …
Physical exercise program, a strategy to prevent cardiotoxicity in early breast cancer: A literature review
2018
Breast cancer, the most common in women, is a cancer of good prognosis. During this last decade, the improvement of cancer screening and treatment has significantly increased disease-free and overall survival. However, the chemotherapy, especially based on anthracyclines, and targeted therapies like trastuzumab have a toxicity to the cardiovascular system. If physical exercise is recognized as beneficial in tertiary prevention, especially by reducing fatigue, improving the physiological capacities of exercise, muscle strength and ultimately quality of life, conversely, few data are available on the effects of exercise on treatment-induced cardiotoxicity. This review, based on the PubMed dat…
Heart failure and chronic kidney disease in a registry of internal medicine wards
2014
Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between heart failure (HF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in tertiary care centers using the clinical records of patients enrolled in internal medicine departments.Patients and methods: We used the clinical records of 1380 elderly patients to identify patients with a history of HF and CKD using admission ICD codes and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) formulas. Magnitude and strength of such associations were investigated by univariable and multivariable analysis.Results: Of the 1380 patients enrolled, 27.9% had HF (age 80 ± 7, BMI 27 ± 6 kg/m2) and 17.4% CKD (age 81 ± 7, BMI 26.8 ± 6 kg/m2). Both groups were signific…
