Multilevel Governance and Participation: Interpreting Democracy in EU-programmes
2014
This article offers an ethnographically oriented, interpretive approach for the research into the democratic qualities of multilevel governance (MLG). The complex and networked MLG arrangements, such as the European Union's (EU) participatory policy practices, are changing the traditional roles of public administration and politics in ways we cannot yet fully foresee. Especially, the impact on democracy is subject to debate. With two case studies, this article seeks to shift the focus of the discussion on the democratic possibilities of MLG from theoretical analysis to empirical research into local and mundane experiences concerning EU policy implementation. The cases studied are the rural …
Karsta procesu izpausmes Salaspils novadā
2016
Valtere, K. 2016. Karsta procesu izpausmes Salaspils novadā. Bakalaura darbs. Latvijas Universitāte, Rīga, 41 lpp. Bakalaura darbā ir veikts pētījums par karsta procesu izpausmēm, atklātajām un slēptajām karsta formām Salaspils novadā, Ropažu līdzenuma dienvidrietumos. Pētījumā izveidots trīs dimensionāls Zemes virsmas modelis, izmantojot LIDAR aerolāzerskenēšanas datus. Visas potenciālās karsta formas ir pārbaudītas lauka apsekošanā. Iegūtie rezultāti liecina par karsta procesu izplatību galvenokārt Salaspils novada centrālajā daļā, īpaši ģipšakmens karjera dienvidos, kur plešas karsta formām blīvs karsta apgabals.
NOAA-AVHRR Orbital Drift Correction: Validating Methods Using MSG-SEVIRI Data as a Benchmark Dataset
2021
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration–Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (NOAA-AVHRR) data provides the possibility to build the longest Land Surface Temperature (LST) dataset to date, starting in 1981 up to the present. However, due to the orbital drift of the NOAA platforms, no LST dataset is available before 2000 and the arrival of newer platforms. Although numerous methods have been developed to correct this orbital drift effect on the LST, a lack of validation has prevented their application. This is the gap we bridge here by using the 15 min temporal resolution of Meteosat Second Generation–Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infra-Red Imager (MSG-SEVIRI) data to simulate dr…
The Right Not to Have Rights: Posted Worker Acquiescence and the European Union Labor Rights Framework
2016
AbstractThe emergence of the European Union citizenship agenda has mainly taken place along the evolution of mobility rights, with the goal of creating a pan-European labor market. Mobility undermines the nationally embedded notion of industrial citizenship. Industrial citizenship protects workers’ rights and secures their participation in national political systems. The Europeanization of labor markets severs the relationship between state, territory and citizen on which industrial citizenship has been built, undermining worker collectivism and access to representation. This is legitimated in terms of building market-citizenship, i.e., enabling mobile workers as market actors. However, the…
Atomu tranzistoru vienelektronu sūkņu modelēšana silīcija ierīcēm
2016
Darbā ir apkopoti autora veiktās teorētiskās modelēšanas rezultāti, kas ir uzkrāti 7. Ietvarprogrammas projekta „Silicon on Atomic and Molecular scale (SiAM)” ietvaros. Pētījuma objekts ir divi dažādi kvantu sūkņi, kuri katrs veidoti no diviem uz silīcija bāzes izgatavotiem viena atoma tranzistoriem. Virs P dopētā reģiona ir novietoti divi aizvara elektrodi, kas ļauj kontrolēt piejaukumu-pastarpinātas elektronu pārneses rezonanses enerģijas. Izmantotais modelis [1] tika pielietots elektronu pārsūknēšanas procesu modelēšanai 1. nanoierīcē. Ar modeļa palīdzību veiksmīgi tika reproducēti un detalizēti izprasti šī elektronu sūkņa neadibātiskie efekti. Ātras elektronu tunelēšanas gadījuma izpēte…
Latvijas sportistu naratīvi žurnāla “Sporta Avīze” portretintervijās
2017
Mana bakalaura darba temats ir “Latvijas sportistu naratīvi žurnāla “Sporta Avīze” portretintervijās”. Pētījuma problēma – kā sevi reprezentē Latvijas sportisti. Galvenais mērķis bija, izpētot intervijas, secināt tieši kādā veidā veidotas reprezentācijas. Lai sasniegtu mērķi, pētījuma uzdevumi bija atlasīt intervijas ar latviešu esošajiem un izbijušajiem sportistiem, izpētīt sniegtās atbildes un iegūt naratīvu veidus, kurus izmanto šajās intervijās, noskaidrot, kuri naratīvi intervijās ir visbiežāk sastopamākie, uzzināt “Sporta Avīzes” žurnālistu domas un izdarīt secinājumus. Darba teorijā aplūkota reprezentācija, naratīvs, intervija. Metodoloģijā– kontentanalīze, naratīva analīze, daļēji s…
FluorMODgui V3.0 : a graphic user interface for the spectral simulation of leaf and canopy chlorophyll fluorescence
2006
The FluorMODgui Graphic User Interface (GUI) software package developed within the frame of the FluorMOD project Development of a Vegetation Fluorescence Canopy Model is presented in this manuscript. The FluorMOD project was launched in 2002 by the European Space Agency (ESA) to advance the science of vegetation fluorescence simulation through the development and integration of leaf and canopy fluorescence models based on physical methods. The design of airborne or space missions dedicated to the measurement of solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence using remote-sensing instruments require physical methods for quantitative feasibility analysis and sensor specification studies. The FluorMODg…
Combining Resources: A Participatory Intervention Promoting Organisational Learning, Social Innovation and Interorganisational Collaborations In Crim…
2020
This chapter presents a participatory model for promoting organisational learning and innovation with potential application in criminal justice related organisations. We share the sensemaking process engaged in by the COLAB consortium tasked with comparing and contrasting a range of participatory interventions and developing a potentially hybrid model that combined the strengths of each. We describe this model on 11 key dimensions, that in themselves offer a useful tool through which different participatory methods might be compared. An expanded participatory model based on the Change Laboratory model and expansive learning cycle is presented, one augmented with the beneficial components of…
Novedades en la reagrupación de los progenitores extranjeros por parte de un menor comunitario
2011
[EN] This paper analyses the last novelties both in the EU law and in the spanish legal system concerning the legal status of those minors that enjoy citizenship of a member state and try to exercise their rights to family reunification with their anscestor, when these ancestors are national of athird Country. Specifically, the paper focuses on the analisis of two judgments: the Zambrano Case of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the ruling of the Courtfor contentious administrative proceedings of the Spanish Suprem Court of the1 of june 2010. Finally, the paper sheds light on the consequences of thesetwo rulings in the EU nationality law and in the field of minor rights inSpani…
Photoelectropoling of azobenzene chromophores in molecular films
1994
The photoinduced reorientation and photoelectropoling processes were investigated in molecular films of aliphatically substituted azobenzenes. While polarized illumination leads to a conversion of isotropic samples into anisotropic ones, upon application of external electric fields even macroscopically polar materials are created. The macroscopic polarity can be reversed under suitable experimental conditions. Order parameters as a function of the poling field were determined by Stark spectroscopy. Using atomic force microscopy it is shown that the structure of the sample is well defined on a microscopic length scale, whereas on a macroscopic length scale it is not.
