Dažādu sāļu ietekme uz piekrastes augu Triglochin maritima un Tragopogon heterospermus sēklu dīgšanu
2017
Darba mērķis ir noskaidrot dažādu sāļu šķīdumu ietekmi uz jūrmalas āžloka un pūkainā plostbārža sēklu dīgtspēju. Veica trīs eksperimentus – pirmajā divas nedēļas diedzēja 2015. gadā ievāktas un stratificētas jūrmalas āžloka sēklas Petri traukos dažādu sāļu (NaCl, Na2SO4, KCl, K2SO4, MgCl2, MgSO4) pieaugošās šķīdumu koncentrācijās (25, 50, 100, 200, 400 mM), pēc diedzēšanas perioda neuzdīgušās sēklas skaloja destilētā ūdenī un uz divām nedēļām ievietoja Petri traukos ar destilētu ūdeni un novēroja dīgšanas atjaunošanos. Otrajā eksperimentā dažādās sāļu koncentrācijās diedzēja 2016. gadā ievāktas un stratificētas jūrmalas āžloka un pūkainā plostbārža sēklas. Jūrmalas āžloka sēklas diedzēja tā…
Online activity traces around a "Boston bomber"
2013
This paper describes traces of user activity around a alleged online social network profile of a Boston Marathon bombing suspect, after the tragedy occurred. The analyzed data, collected with the help of an automatic social media monitoring software, includes the perpetrator's page saved at the time the bombing suspects' names were made public, and the subsequently appearing comments left on that page by other users. The analyses suggest that a timely protection of online media records of a criminal could help prevent a large-scale public spread of communication exchange pertaining to the suspects/criminals' ideas, messages, and connections.
A Novel Model for Cybersecurity Economics and Analysis
2017
In recent times, major cybersecurity breaches and cyber fraud had huge negative impact on victim organisations. The biggest impact made on major areas of business activities. Majority of organisations facing cybersecurity adversity and advanced threats suffers from huge financial and reputation loss. The current security technologies, policies and processes are providing necessary capabilities and cybersecurity mechanism to solve cyber threats and risks. However, current solutions are not providing required mechanism for decision making on impact of cybersecurity breaches and fraud. In this paper, we are reporting initial findings and proposing conceptual solution. The paper is aiming to pr…
Homing blogs as ambivalent spaces for feminine agency
2017
This article discusses a form of lifestyle blogging where women blog about their homes and everyday lives. In these homing blogs, selfrepresentations are characteristically spatially demarcated within the private sphere of the home. As these repeated representations of women in their homes take place in the public space of the internet, homing blogs work towards naturalizing the home as a women’s sphere. Written and commented on mostly by other women, homing blogs represent a feminine form of self-expression and communication that functions as a discursive expression of ongoing social, economic, and cultural changes in affluent Western societies. In this article, Finnish versions of these h…

Explaining classroom teachers’ attitudes towards inclusive education
2019
Teacher attitudes have been identified as an important resource when striving towards inclusive education as defined in the Salamanca Statement (1994). This study surveyed some key factors associated with teacher attitudes towards inclusion. The participants were 1,456 classroom teachers in Finnish primary schools who were asked about their readiness to include in their classrooms a student with a specified special educational need (SEN). The results were reviewed in association with some background variables, including workload concerns, evaluation of professional skills and the opportunity to get extra support if needed. The results show that classroom teachers’ positive attitudes towards…
Potential myocardial iron content evaluation by magnetic resonance imaging in thalassemia major patients treated with Deferoxamine or Deferiprone dur…
2003
The purpose of this study was to evaluate if the variations of heart magnetic resonance imaging in beta-thalassemia major patients treated with Deferoxamine B mesylate (DF) or Deferiprone (L1) chelation therapy is a useful tool of the indirect myocardial iron content determination. For this reason, a prospective study was carried out. Seventy-two consecutive patients with beta-thalassemia major (35 treated with DF and 37 with L1) were studied. The main outcome results were laboratory parameters including determination of the liver iron concentration (LIC) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the heart and liver. The heart to muscle signal intensity ratios (HSIRs) were significantly incre…
Role of hypogonadism in development of bone alterations in thalassemic patients
2005
Although transfusions and chelation therapy have improved survival of patients afflicted with Thalassemia Major (TM), endocrine alterations are still common complications. Particularly, hypogonadism plays an important role in the aetiology of osteoporosis in these patients. It is clear that in most patients the gonadal failure is a consequence of a pituitary damage and that a hypogonadotropic hypogonadism occurs; nevertheless, also a gonadal damage because of iron deposition may be a further cause of hypogonadism. Prevalence of the pubertal failure ranges between 50 to 80% of the cases. In some studies ferritin levels have been correlated with hypogonadism, suggesting that improvement of ch…
