Apoptosis in human unfertilized oocytes after intracytoplasmic sperm injection

2005

Objective To investigate the presence of programmed cell death in unfertilized oocytes after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), assuming that previous apoptotic events could be correlated with the fertilization failure. Design Comparison of the rate of DNA fragmentation in human oocytes at different stages of maturation soon after pick-up (control) and in unfertilized oocytes after ICSI treatment. Setting In vitro fertilization (IVF) laboratory with extensive ICSI experience. Patient(s) Sixty-three patients undergoing assisted fertilization by ICSI. Intervention(s) Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated digoxigenin-dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) assay and anticaspase-3 cleaved…

Developing EU Heritage Diplomacy : Notions of Cultural Diplomacy, Cultural Heritage, and Intercultural Dialogue among EU Officials and European Herit…

2021

The European Commission has recently identified cultural heritage as a focus area for EU cultural diplomacy. The article explores EU cultural diplomacy that deals with cultural heritage and develops the concept of heritage diplomacy based on a critical discourse analysis of interviews with EU officials and heritage practitioners working at sites awarded with the European Heritage Label. What do these actors mean by cultural diplomacy and how do they understand the role and potential of cultural heritage for it and with what effects? The analysis indicates that heritage diplomacy means different things for EU officials and heritage practitioners. Their discourses on the uses of cultural heri…

Rapid detection and discrimination of fabaviruses by flow-through hybridisation with genus- and species-specific riboprobes

2015

Viruses cause significant damage in agricultural crops worldwide. Disease management requires sensitive and specific tools for virus detection and identification. Also, detection techniques need to be rapid to keep pace with the continuous emergence of new viral diseases. The genus Fabavirus is composed of five viruses infecting many economically important crops worldwide. This research describes the development of a procedure based on flow-through hybridisation (FTH), which is faster than and as sensitive as conventional hybridisation for virus detection in tissue-prints from infected plants. Six digoxigenin-labelled RNA probes were synthesised with two levels of specificity: (a) five spec…

Against all odds : Problem-solving as a skill critical to virtual exchange

2021

Virtual Exchange (VE) brings together groups of learners from different geographical locations and cultural backgrounds to engage them in online intercultural collaboration and interaction. Although VE projects are designed and implemented by educators as part of the students’ educational programmes, they often go beyond the setting of traditional courses offered by higher education institutions. Because of their innovative nature, VEs require the students to leave their comfort zone and think outside the box to develop new creative strategies of communication and collaboration in order to find solutions to problems that crop up in this new learning environment. This presentation showcases …

Cultural heritage in social media : Museum of Photography

2012

The research Cultural Heritage in Social Media: Museum of Photography deals with a new form of displaying and preserving cultural heritage in the 21st century by using social media tools. This paper is an analysis of a Romanian cultural heritage blog, Museum of Photography, which contains documentary photography from the end of the 19th century until 1990’s as well as other types of photographs related to the interests’ of Alex Galmeanu – the owner of Museum of Photography. The aim of this research is to demonstrate that cultural heritage exists outside the boundaries of formal institutions, namely museums, thus showing that the meaning of the word “museum” is expanding and that the public …

Amaya, A., Michelon, C. (eds.) (2020), The faces of virtue in law. Routledge

2022

The book, edited by Amalia Amaya and Claudio Michelon, brings together the most significant voices of the Aretaic theory to operate an interesting reconstruction of new topics in the field of philosophy of law which are typically overlooked by traditional legal theory. This approach allows the exploration of new interpretative lines that may suggest further developments for the theory of virtue. Reading this book could therefore be a valid and interesting tool for all those who study the legal decision-making process from a philosophical perspective, but also for all jurists who deal, in a broader sense, with the legal practice.

Accountability for disinformation in times of covid-19

2022

Nelabvēlīgās informācijas plašais tvērums liek vairumam sabiedrībā ar vien uzmanīgāk vērtēt informāciju sociālajos tīklos un masu mēdijos, bet arī nekritiski domājošā sabiedrības daļa ir jāpasargā no šādas bīstamas informācijas it īpaši globālās pandēmijas laikā, kad plašie pamattiesību ierobežojumi un ikdienas saasinājumi vājina uzticību valdībai. It īpaši nelabvēlīgas informācijas izplatīšanas ierobežojumi ir nepieciešama virtuālajā vidē, jo 21. gs. ir pavēris jaunas iespējas daļēji vai pilnīgi nepatiesas informācijas ātrai izplatīšanai. Pašlaik Latvijā nav skaidri izveidota doktrīna, kā efektīvi aizsargāt nelabvēlīgās informācijas aizskartās cilvēktiesības, jo to traucē plašais aizsardzī…

Kriptovalūtas saistība ar noziedzīgas mantas legalizāciju

2022

Bakalaura darba tēma “Kriptovalūtas saistība ar noziedzīgas mantas legalizāciju” sniedz ieskatu par kriptovalūtas tiesiskā regulējuma trūkumu Latvijā. Darbā tiek aplūkota kriptovalūtas jēdziena attīstība normatīvajos tiesību aktos un sastāva pazīmes noziedzīgi iegūtu līdzekļu legalizēšanā, izmantojot kriptovalūtu. Problēma ir tiesiskā regulējuma trūkumā, lai efektīvi ierobežotu kriptovalūtas izmantošanu noziedzīgi iegūtu līdzekļu legalizēšanā un šo noziegumu atklāšanā. Darba ietvaros tika analizēta kriptovalūtas jēdziena atbilstība tās pazīmēm un pētīts, vai likuma subjekti, ievērojot Latvijas un Eiropas Savienības noziedzīgi iegūtu līdzekļu legalizēšanas novēršanas tiesiskā regulējuma pras…

Modelling the removal and reversible immobilization of murine noroviruses in a Phaeozem under various contamination and rinsing conditions

2018

International audience; Enteric viruses entering the soil with contaminated irrigation water can reach groundwater or be internalized in plants through their roots without being inactivated. Their fate in the soil depends on the virus, the soil and the soil solution. In order to write a mathematical model suitable for a Calcaric Phaeozem, we investigated the removal of murine norovirus and reversible immobilization in aggregate columns according to a saturation procedure, conditions between contamination and rinsing time, temperature and soil solution. Viruses were quantified before and after 0.45‐μm filtration with an RT‐qPCR (real‐time polymerase chain reaction). Experimental results supp…
