Sexual cannibalism in Nephila plumipes as a consequence of female life history strategies
2002
The evolution of sexual cannibalism has been modelled as both an adaptive and nonadaptive female strategy. Recent evidence from several species suggests a connection between female foraging and sexual cannibalism, but the precise benefits for females have remained obscure. Here, we investigate the difference between cannibalistic and noncannibalistic female Nephila plumipes by removing the potential nutritional benefit of cannibalism. Courting and mating males that were killed by a female were immediately removed so that the female could not consume them. Nevertheless, cannibalistic females gained more mass from maturation to oviposition and produced larger first clutches than noncannibalis…
Asymmetric Michael Addition in Synthesis of β-Substituted GABA Derivatives
2022
γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) represents one of the most prolific structural units widely used in the design of modern pharmaceuticals. For example, β-substituted GABA derivatives are found in numerous neurological drugs, such as baclofen, phenibut, tolibut, pregabalin, phenylpiracetam, brivaracetam, and rolipram, to mention just a few. In this review, we critically discuss the literature data reported on the preparation of substituted GABA derivatives using the Michael addition reaction as a key synthetic transformation. Special attention is paid to asymmetric methods featuring synthetically useful stereochemical outcomes and operational simplicity. This research was funded by the National Na…
Globalizācijas ietekme uz Baltijas valstīm
2016
Diplomdarbs "Globalizācijas ietekme uz Baltijas valstīm" ir izstrādāts ar mērķi identificēt Baltijas valstu spēju pasargāt savas intereses pasaules līmenī un izstrādāt priekšlikumus turpmākai Baltijas valstu veiksmīgai attīstībai globalizācijas procesā. Globalizācija ir fenomens, par kuru notiek nerimstošas diskusijas pēdējos gados. Globalizācijas priekšrocību izmantošana un izaicinājumu pārvarēšana ir būtiska Baltijas valstu turpmākajā veiksmīgajā attīstībā Diplomdarbā ir apskatīti globalizācijas teorētiskie aspekti, varas sadalījuma nevienlīdzības globālajā pasaulē, KOF globalizācijas indeksa izmaiņu tendences Baltijas valstīs un autora veiktā pētījuma, kas balstās uz ekspertu intervijām,…
Basic skills provision for the have‐nots: a rights hoax? Re‐examining international standards on the right to education
2011
In the present era of accelerating globalisation of the labour market and education, access to knowledge of value has become increasingly complicated. This study enquired into the rights to post‐compulsory basic education by analysing the contemporary standard‐setting instruments of the United Nations, the Council of Europe and the European Community. An analytical scheme was developed that suggested four interconnected areas of education legislation, disregard of which cumulatively maintains exclusion of educationally disadvantaged individuals from knowledge and skills with proper value in the job market. The four thematic aspects identified were rights, recognition, resources and represen…
Exploring or exporting? Qualitative methods in times of globalisation
2011
Europeanism, westernism and methodological imperialism all refer to the classic criticism of Western research in non-Western contexts. Though I welcome the debate, I find arguments based on simple binary oppositions and descriptions problematic. This debate is better positioned as one about the quality of qualitative research. With reference to the criticism I ask if contemporary qualitative research is stuck in old problems. Based on my ethnographic data from East Africa I show that the pitfalls of Western research that are pointed to in classic criticisms are the outcome of old models and poor analytic work. I also show that contemporary ‘Western’ qualitative research offers analytic alte…
Sociolinguistics from the Periphery
2016
This leading team of scholars presents a fascinating book about change: shifting political, economic and cultural conditions; ephemeral, sometimes even seasonal, multilingualism; and altered imaginaries for minority and indigenous languages and their users. The authors refer to this network of interlinked changes as the new conditions surrounding small languages (Sámi, Corsican, Irish and Welsh) in peripheral sites. Starting from the conviction that peripheral sites can and should inform the sociolinguistics of globalisation, the book explores how new modes of reflexivity, more transactional frames for authenticity, commodification of peripheral resources, and boundary-transgression with hu…
Enrique Dupuy de Lôme (1851-1904).La biografía global de un diplomático valenciano
2021
Resumen: Esta Tesis Doctoral tiene como objetivo el estudio de la creciente interconectividad mundial a lo largo del siglo XIX, especialmente, durante su último tercio, a través de las vivencias del diplomático Enrique Dupuy de Lôme y Paulín (Valencia, 1851-Paris, 1904). Como viajero empedernido, burgués y escritor su vida estuvo marcada por la movilidad, el cruce de fronteras y la atención al comercio. Los vínculos familiares tuvieron gran influencia en su vida, por lo que sus experiencias también han tenido un papel muy importante a lo largo del estudio. Desde sus antepasados franceses, vinculados con la burocratización estatal francesa, hasta el exiliado francés Claude-Louis Dupuy que or…
