Taking action or thinking about it? : State orientation and rumination are correlated in athletes
2019
Athletic performance in competitive sports relies heavily on the ability to cope effectively with stressful situations. In contrast, some athletes report that their thoughts revolve around the future or past and not around the actual demands during competitions. In those specific stressful situations, the lack of focus like an unintended fixation on repetitive cognitions can have fatal consequences with regard to the performance. Especially when competitors are close in their athletic capabilities, differences in effectively coping with stress and mental stability may decide about winning and losing. One established factor of performing effectively under pressure is the individual tendency …
Ventilatory chemosensitivity, cerebral and muscle oxygenation, and total hemoglobin mass before and after a 72-day mt. Everest expedition.

Emocionālā intelekta dažādu konstruktu salīdzināšana
2015
Pētījuma mērķis ir savstarpēji salīdzināt Saloveja un Goldmena vispārīgo garastāvokļa iezīmju konstruktu un Šutes emocionālā intelekta konstruktu, un to mērījumu psihometriskos rādītājus. Pētījuma ietvaros tiek noskaidrots, kā saturiski un psihometriski atšķiras Saloveja un Goldmena vispārīgo garastāvokļa iezīmju konstrukts un Šutes emocionālā intelekta konstrukts, neskatoties uz to, ka abas aptaujas izmanto par pamatu vienu un to pašu emocionāla intelekta teoriju. Pētījuma dalībnieki ir studenti no dažādām Latvijas pilsētām – Rīgas (71%), Liepājas (22%), Ventspils (3%), Rēzeknes (3%), Jūrmalas (1%). Respondentu vecums ir no 18 līdz 33 gadiem (M = 22,9). Izlases apjoms ir 70 cilvēku, no tie…
Mūsdienu Ukrainas imigrantu adaptācija Eiropas Savienībā un Kanādā.
2016
Autors, izmantojot starpdisciplināru pieeju, aplūko migrācijas situāciju Eiropas Savienībā un Kanādā, vairāk pētot migrācijas situāciju Latvijā un Ontārio, no migrācijas regulējumu, statistikas, adaptācijas un imigrantu integrācijas perspektīvām. Ņemot vērā to, ka ukraiņu imigrācija ir nozīmīga, tās pazīmes ir atspoguļotas no mūsdienu perspektīvas: dinamika laika gaitā, etnisko organizāciju loma, sociālās vides ietekme. Autors ir veicis kvalitatīvu pētījumu Latvijā un Ontārio, ar mērķi salīdzināt mūsdienu ukraiņu imigrantu adaptācijas procesus. Uzmanība ir vērsta uz to, lai spētu noteikt pievilkšanās-atgrūšanās migrācijas faktorus, problēmas, ar ko saskaras imigranti jaunā sabiedrībā: imigr…
“Fear No More”: Gender Politics and the “Hell” of New Media Technologies in Michael Almereyda’s Cymbeline (2014)
2018
The paper focuses on Michael Almereyda’s Cymbeline (2014), a modernized re-telling of Shakespeare’s play in which the Briton motorcycle gang, led by drug kingpin Cymbeline, comes into conflict with the Rome police force, led by Caius Lucius. In the film, which has been defined as “Shakespeare in the Instagram age,” sustained attention to media practices and technologies competes with the incorporation of textual material. In particular, the film displays a conflict between old media, including Shakespearean textual inscriptions (e.g. the “Fear No More” woodcut that Posthumus makes and sends to Imogen as a gift), and new media technologies, pervasively associated with perverse visualization …
Exilic/Idyllic Shakespeare: Reiterating Pericles in Jacques Rivette’s Paris nous appartient
2015
Jacques Rivette’s Paris nous appartient (1961) is about a literature student, Anne Goupil, who becomes involved with a group of bohemians centering around the absent figure of Spanish musician, Juan. The film incorporates the attempt by theatre director Gérard Lenz – in many ways a simulacrum of Rivette himself – to stage Pericles, even though this is a play that he himself defines as “incoherent” and “unplayable.” This essay explores the significance of this incorporation, and shows how the reiterated, fragmentary rehearsals of this “unplayable” play are essential to an understanding of the (disjointed) logic of the film as well as the atmosphere of conspiracy it continually evokes. It als…
Using natural analogues to investigate the effects of climate change and ocean acidification on Northern ecosystems
2018
AbstractNorthern oceans are in a state of rapid transition. Still, our knowledge of the likely effects of climate change and ocean acidification on key species in the food web, functionally important habitats and the structure of Arctic and sub-Arctic ecosystems is limited and based mainly on short-term laboratory studies on single species. This review discusses how tropical and temperate natural analogues of carbonate chemistry drivers, such as CO2 vents, have been used to further our knowledge of the sensitivity of biological systems to predicted climate change, and thus assess the capacity of different species to show long-term acclimation and adaptation to elevated levels of pCO2.
