Work Ability of Finnish Physical Education Teachers
2015
Background: In the physical education (PE) teachers’ profession, physical tasks comprise a large part of their job. They identify their health as good, and they are satisfied with their job. Nevertheless, the work ability of PE teachers may be decrease. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore the work ability of Finnish PE teachers. What disorders or physical problems do PE teachers experience as a result of their job, and how do they affect job satisfaction? Are there differences between men and women or older and younger teachers? Key findings: Of the Finnish PE teachers (N=655), 31% reported that they had at least one disease or disorder that hindered their work ability. The mos…

Sīkās muskulatūras attīstīšanas nozīmīgums 3-5 gadus veciem bērniem
2019
Darba nosaukums: „Sīkās muskulatūras attīstīšanas nozīmīgums 3-5 gadus veciem bērniem” Darba autors: Una Elksnīte Darba vadītājs: Ilvis Ābeļkalns Darbs sastāv no ievada, 3 nodaļām, secinājumiem un priekšlikumiem, litaratūras avotu saraksta un pielikumiem. Darba tēma tika izvirzīta, pamatojoties uz mūsdienu bērnu mazkustību, un ar to saistīto problēmu rašanos, kā slikti attīstītu smalko muskulatūru, nevēlēšanos darīt darbus ar pirkstiem, nepareizu satvērienu. Mērķis bija analizēt un pētīt sīkās muskulatūras attīstīšanas nozīmīgumu un pierādīt izvirzīto hipotēzi, ka pirkstu sīkās muskulatūras attīstību veicina radošu, individuālu darbu veikšana, regulāra roku un pirkstu vingrināšana un darboš…
Maintenance of genetic diversity in cyclic populations - a longitudinal analysis in Myodes glareolus
2012
Conspicuous cyclic changes in population density characterize many populations of small northern rodents. The extreme crashes in individual number are expected to reduce the amount of genetic variation within a population during the crash phases of the population cycle. By long-term monitoring of a bank vole (Myodes glareolus) population we show that despite the substantial and repetitive crashes in the population size, high heterozygosity is maintained throughout the population cycle. The striking population density fluctuation in fact only slightly reduced the allelic richness of the population during the crash phases. Effective population sizes of vole populations remained also relativel…

Invasive alien species – potential cheap resources of plant substances for medicinal use
2018
Some alien species demonstrate rather invasive behaviour. They have high tolerance of various habitat conditions and potent propagation ability. They not only over-compete the local vegetation but suppress the seed development of the native plants. In the newly invaded habitats they might not have suitable herbivores to control their populations. The only effective enemy might be Homo sapiens. Humans are known with their destructive power once an object has become significant for industrial utilization. The aim of this study is to review research data and reveal the potential of Ambrosia artemisiifolia L., Erigeron canadensis L., Xanthium strumarium L. and Dittrichia graveolens (L.) W. Greu…
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Trains at 1 Hz Frequency of the Right Posterior Parietal Cortex Facilitate Recognition Memory
2021
Neuroimaging, neuropsychological, and brain stimulation studies have led to contrasting findings regarding the potential roles of the lateral parietal lobe in episodic memory. Studies using brain stimulation methods reported in the literature do not offer unequivocal findings on the interactions with stimulation location (left vs. right hemisphere) or timing of the stimulation (encoding vs. retrieval). To address these issues, active and sham 1 Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) trains of 600 stimuli were applied over the right or left posterior parietal cortex (PPC) before the encoding or before the retrieval phase of a recognition memory task of unknown faces in a grou…
Haptic Perception in Extreme Obesity: qEEG Study Focused on Predictive Coding and Body Schema
2020
Haptic perception (HP) is a perceptual modality requiring manual exploration to elaborate the physical characteristics of external stimuli through multisensory integrative cortical pathways. Cortical areas exploit processes of predictive coding that collect sensorial inputs to build and update internal perceptual models. Modifications to the internal representation of the body have been associated with eating disorders. In the light of this, obese subjects were selected as a valid experimental model to explore predictive coding in haptic perception. To this purpose, we performed electroencephalographic (EEG) continuous recordings during a haptic task in normally weighted versus obese subjec…
