Cucumis sativus l. Seeds ameliorate muscular spasm-induced gastrointestinal and respiratory disorders by simultaneously inhibiting calcium mediated s…
2021
Cucumis sativus L. is globally cultivated as an edible vegetable. Besides its nutritional benefits, it is used in traditional medicines against various ailments. The current study was designed to elucidate the multi-target mechanisms of a C. sativus seeds extract against asthma and diarrhea using network pharmacology along with a molecular docking approach. Furthermore, in-vitro and in-vivo experiments were conducted to verify the mechanistic insight of in silico studies. LC-ESI-MS/MS was performed to identify the bioactive compounds in the extract; later, some compounds were quantified by HPLC. C. sativus seed. EtOH has kaempferol in higher concentration 783.02 µg/g, followed by quercetin …
Self‐Directed Learning in Creative Activity : An Ethnographic Study in Technology‐Based Work
2020
Under conditions of rapid changes in working life, there is an urgent need to examine the nature of creativity and learning in organizations. The aim of this study was to investigate the nature of self‐directed learning (SDL) practices in creative activity in technology‐based work. We focus on both individual and collective practices but also on the importance of organizational culture. The data consist of 46 interviews and observational field notes collected from participating organizations. Thematic and ethnographic analyses were utilized as tools to reveal the nature of SDL in creative activity. We found three themes describing of the nature of SDL in creative activity: a combination of …
Novusa integrēšana kā interešu izglīību vispārattīstošo skolu programmās
2021
Diplomdarba “ Novusa integrēšana kā interešu izglītību vispāratīstošo skolu programmās.“ mērķis ir novusa integrēšana skolās un noskaidrot vai jauniešiem ir interese par šāda veida nodarbībām. Darbs sastāv no ievada, teorētiskās un praktiskās daļas, kā arī nobeiguma, secinājuma un pielikuma. Teorētiskajā daļā tiek analizēta literatūra par interešu izglītību, “skola 2030” programmas raksturojumu, novusu un tā ietekmi uz jauniešu sociālajām prasmēm un darba spējām, iekļaujot informāciju par vecumposmiem, konkrētāk analizējot vecumposmu no 11 – 16 gadiem. Praktiskajā daļā tika izmantota anketēšanas metode jauniešiem pirms un pēc pētījuma, kā arī intervija vecākiem, kura pēc tam tika apkopota u…
Children as social actors negotiating their privacy in the digital commercial context
2023
This study advances research on children’s negotiation of online commercial privacy by identifying an act of digital agency by children that may serve their current needs but can also impact children negatively. Secondly, it identifies certain factors children consider while evaluating the trustworthiness of apps and websites before disclosing information online. Eight focus group discussions with children (13–16 years) in Finland’s capital region are analysed using thematic analysis. Our findings highlight that while children’s digital literacy education is needed, ensuring that education translates to children’s online practices is also essential. We also recommend increasing corporations…
Agent-based model for the rescheduling of Individual and collective daily activities under uncertainties
2020
Daily activity schedule are popular for people duringdaily life. While, when executing the schedule on the real road network, there are always some disruptions disturbing the planned schedule. To deal with this problem, daily activity rescheduling is necessary. This thesis regards the disruptions from the activity schedule execution environment as unexpected events (uncertainties). It establishes agent-based models to simulate the activity rescheduling decision process from the aspects of individual activity rescheduling and joint trip renegotiating.For the individual activity rescheduling, the model in this thesis wants to explore the relationship between a pair of episodes (two connected …

HR scenario game : Learning human resource management in a virtual environment
2021
This paper introduces a computer-based online scenario game that was developed to enhance the learning of human resource management (HRM) in an undergraduate course at a business school in Finland. What makes this game unique is that students played an important and active role in developing the game in collaboration with lecturers. Our findings show that the game enhances learning, interaction, and collaboration among students. We discuss how computer-based games and their development in collaboration with students can be used as a means for learning and improving working-life skills in higher education.
Data from: Plant – herbivorous beetle networks: molecular characterization of trophic ecology within a threatened steppic environment
2015
DNA barcoding facilitates many evolutionary and ecological studies, including the examination of the dietary diversity of herbivores. In this study, we present a survey of ecological associations between herbivorous beetles and host plants from seriously threatened European steppic grasslands. We determined host plants for the majority (65%) of steppic leaf beetles (55 species) and weevils (59) known from central Europe using two barcodes (trnL and rbcL) and two sequencing strategies (Sanger for mono/oligophagous species and Illumina for polyphagous taxa). To better understand the ecological associations between steppic beetles and their host plants, we tested the hypothesis that leaf beetl…
