Influence of larval transport and temperature on recruitment dynamics of North Sea cod (Gadus morhua) across spatial scales of observation
2020
The survival of fish eggs and larvae, and therefore recruitment success, can be critically affected by transport in ocean currents. Combining a model of early‐life stage dispersal with statistical stock–recruitment models, we investigated the role of larval transport for recruitment variability across spatial scales for the population complex of North Sea cod (Gadus morhua). By using a coupled physical–biological model, we estimated the egg and larval transport over a 44‐year period. The oceanographic component of the model, capable of capturing the interannual variability of temperature and ocean current patterns, was coupled to the biological component, an individual‐based model (IBM) tha…

Rakstā tiek skaidrota LU prof. Konstantīna Čakstes piemiņas tradīcijas uzsākšana LU, skaidrojot tā cēloņus (K. Čakstes kapavietas atklāšana), norisi (K. Čakstes piemiņas plāksnes atklāšana) un sekas (K. Čakstes piemiņas kopšana un tā labums LU Muzejam kā pētnieciskai atmiņu institūcija). Par raksta pamatu izvēlēta vēsturiska fotogrāfija, kurā attēlota K. Čakstes piemiņas plāksnes atklāšana, taču izmantots arī citu avotu un literatūras klāsts raksta sagatavošanā. Raksts sagatavots Latvijas valsts un LU 105 gadu jubileju ietvaros, kas mijas kopā ar pašreizējo starptautisko spriedzi - Krievijas-Ukrainas kara eskalāciju.
Food waste and out-of-home-dining: antecedents and consequents of the decision to take away leftovers after dining at restaurants
2021
The rising trend of eating out has contributed noticeably to the increase in food waste generated by the hospitality sector. Therefore, it is essential to understand the drivers of food waste generation and the mitigation intentions of diners. Academic research in the area so far is fragmented, with particularly limited insights regarding the intentions to take away leftovers after dining out. The present study addresses this gap by using the theoretical lens of Behavioural Reasoning Theory (BRT) to examine the antecedents of diners' intentions to take away leftovers and how these are associated with their food over-ordering and leftover reuse routine. The hypothesised associations are test…
Behavioral reasoning perspectives to brand love toward natural products: Moderating role of environmental concern and household size
2021
Abstract Consumers do not easily trust brands’ claims of naturalness, making it essential to understand the drivers of loyalty and the underlying brand love for such products. Responding to this need, the present study developed a conceptual model based on the Behavioral Reasoning Theory (BRT) to examine the antecedents of brand love. The model was tested using data collected through a cross-sectional survey. The findings suggest that health consciousness is positively associated with reasons for consuming natural products and attitude, which, in turn, are also positively associated with each other. At the same time, reasons for consuming natural products and attitude are positively associa…
Purchasing natural personal care products in the era of fake news? The moderation effect of brand trust
2021
Natural personal care products are gaining popularity due to their benefits in terms of health and well-being. However, consumers are wary of these products and are guided by the fake news circulating about them. Since natural product consumption offers several personal and environmental benefits, it would be worthwhile to understand consumers’ tendency to let fake news influence their consumption decisions. Accordingly, the current study examined the association of fake news and purchasing behaviour towards natural personal care products, utilising Stimulus-Organism-Behaviour-Consequence (SOBC) as the theoretical framework. The study proposed openness to change as the stimulus, perceived b…
Why do people purchase from food delivery apps? A consumer value perspective
2021
Consumers are increasingly using food delivery apps (FDAs) to facilitate convenient and quick food delivery. Yet, the existing research offers a limited understanding of consumers’ behavioral responses to the visibility and values derived from FDAs. Our study utilized the theory of consumption values (TCV) to examine associations between FDA visibility, consumption values, and purchase intentions. The mediating role of consumption values and the moderating role of attitude was also studied. A qualitative study was conducted with 15 FDA consumers to derive context-specific consumption values. Responses from 355 FDA consumers from the United States of America (USA) were obtained through Proli…
Population structure in Atlantic cod in the eastern North Sea-Skagerrak-Kattegat: early life stage dispersal and adult migration
2016
Background In marine fish species, where pelagic egg and larvae drift with ocean currents, population structure has been suggested to be maintained by larval retention due to hydrographic structuring and by homing of adult fish to natal areas. Whilst natal homing of adults has been demonstrated for anadromous and coral reef fishes, there are few documented examples of philopatric migration in temperate marine fish species. Results Here, we demonstrate temporally stable genetic differentiation among spawning populations of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.), and present genetic and behavioural evidence for larval drift and philopatric migration in the eastern North Sea-Skagerrak-Kattegat area. W…
Compositional and morphological analyses of wax in northern wild berry species.
2019
Accepted manuscript version, licensed CC BY-NC-ND 4.0. Aerial surfaces of plants are covered by a waxy cuticle protecting plants from excessive water loss and UV light. In the present study, composition and morphology of cuticular waxes of northern wild berry species bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.), lingonberry (V. vitis-idaea L.), bog bilberry (V. uliginosum L.) and crowberry (Empetrum nigrum L.) were investigated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed differences in epicuticular wax morphology, and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) analysis confirmed variation in chemical composition of cuticular waxes between the berry species. The dominant compounds in bilberry and li…
Barbara Sokołowska Brukalski. Graphic Analysis of the House on Niegolewskiego Street
2017
The project analyzed in this paper by the critical and digital redrawing is the House on Niegolewskiego Street of 1927–28, designed by Barbara Sokołowska for her and her husband, Stanislaw Brukalski, inspired by the Neoplasticism ideas, the paintings of Mondrian and De Stijl. In its details the house seems to recall that one in Utrecht by G.T. Rietveld of 1924, with a very large living room, a studio overlooking a double height and a spiral stair connecting the two floors into one space defined by translated planes and pure volumes.
Kamikadzes fenomens Japānas un Austrumāzijas kultūras kontekstā
2021
Bakalaura darbā “Kamikadzes fenomens Japānas un Austrumāzijas kultūras kontekstā” tiek pētīti kamikadzes pašupurēšanās reliģiskie, politiskie, lojalitātes iemesli. Kā arī kamikadzes jauniešu domas un idejas par pašnāvību cēlāku mērķu labā. Darba aktualitāte ir saistīta ar termina pašnāvība uzskatiem un izskaidrošanu Japānā un šī procesa norises salīdzināšana ar Ķīnu un Koreju. Mūsdienās pašnāvības cēlonis bieži ir viens, bet līdz pat otrā pasaules kara laikam pašnāvībai bija arī citi iemesli un nozīme. Kamikadzes termins mūsdienās ir ar plašāku nozīmi un apzīmē jebkāda veida pašnāvību cēlāku mērķu labā neatkarīgi no valsts. Darba 1. daļā ir apskatīts uzskati un tradīcijas Japānas un Austrum…
