Lielvaru (ASV un Ķīnas) sāncensība 21. gadsimtā

2022

Maģistra darba “Lielvaru (ASV un Ķīnas) sāncensība 21. gadsimtā” mērķis ir vairāku lielvaru augšupejas un lejupslīdes teoriju aplūkošana un analīze, saistot tās ar empīriskajiem novērojumiem par šādu sāncensību. Maģistra darbā apskatītās teorijas tiks pretnostatītas ASV un Ķīnas kā lielvaru sāncensībai mūsdienās, tādējādi veicinot izpratni par iespējamo šādas sāncensības izcelsmi un norisi, izrietot no vēsturiskiem gadījumiem, kas saistīti ar lielvaru sāncensību. Darba teorētiskā bāze ietver izklāstu par lielvaru raksturojumu un vairāku citu jēdzienu apskatīšanu, kā arī apskata četras lielvaru sāncensības teorijas. Maģistra darba empīrisko daļu veido lielvaru sāncensības vēsturiskā ietvara …

Andrei Șerban: The Search for ‘New Forms’

2021

This chapter discusses the theatre of Andrei Șerban, definitely one of the most important theatre directors of the second half of the twentieth century. He began directing in Communist Romania in the 1960s and had to deal with censorship, so in order to avoid this uncomfortable context, he focused on interpreting the text—he constantly searched for new nuances and made use of all possible subtexts. These are the premises of his work and when he moved to the USA, he continued this artistic strategy. Throughout his career, Andrei Șerban has been passionate about staging The Seagull (five times), as he is constantly looking for new forms, just like Chekhov’s character Treplev. A special accent…

Socio-economic inequalities in mortality due to injuries in small areas of ten cities in Spain (MEDEA Project).

2011

Abstract Objectives To analyse socio-economic inequalities in mortality due to injuries among census tracts of ten Spanish cities by sex and age in the period 1996–2003. Methods This is a cross-sectional ecological study where the units of analysis are census tracts. The study population consisted of people residing in the cities during the period 1996–2003. For each census tract we obtained an index of socio-economic deprivation, and estimated standardized mortality ratios using hierarchical Bayesian models which take into account the spatial structure of the data. Results In the majority of the cities, the geographical pattern of total mortality from injuries is similar to that of the soc…

Development and validation of the Spanish Hazard Perception Test.

2014

The aim of the current study is to develop and obtain valid evidence for a hazard perception test suitable for the Spanish driving population. To obtain valid evidence to support the use of the test, the effect of hazardous and quasi-hazardous situations on the participants' hazard prediction is analyzed and the pattern of results for drivers with different driving experience--that is, learner, novice, and expert drivers and reoffender vs. nonoffender drivers--is compared. Potentially hazardous situations are those that develop without involving any real hazard (i.e., the driver did not actually have to decelerate or make any evasive maneuver to avoid a potential collision). The current stu…

Impact of the 2005 and 2010 Spanish smoking laws on hospital admissions for tobacco-related diseases in Valencia, Spain

2020

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to assess the impact of the latest smoke-free legislation on hospital admission rates due to smoking-related diseases in Spain. STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study was conducted to evaluate changes in hospital admission rates for cardiovascular, respiratory diseases, and smoking-related cancer in Valencia, Spain, during the period 1995-2013. Law 28/2005 and then law 42/2010 prohibited smoking in bars and restaurants as well as playgrounds and access points to schools and hospitals. METHODS: General population data by age and sex were obtained from the National Institute of Statistics census. Data on hospital admissions were obtained from the Minimum Basic…

What calls for service tell us about suicide: A 7-year spatio-temporal analysis of neighborhood correlates of suicide-related calls.

2018

AbstractPrevious research has shown that neighborhood-level variables such as social deprivation, social fragmentation or rurality are related to suicide risk, but most of these studies have been conducted in the U.S. or northern European countries. The aim of this study was to analyze the spatio-temporal distribution of suicide in a southern European city (Valencia, Spain), and determine whether this distribution was related to a set of neighborhood-level characteristics. We used suicide-related calls for service as an indicator of suicide cases (n = 6,537), and analyzed the relationship of the outcome variable with several neighborhood-level variables: economic status, education level, po…

The risk of abducens palsy after diagnostic lumbar puncture.

2000

Abducens palsy occasionally has been observed after diagnostic lumbar puncture (DLP).1-3 Its risk is not exactly known. We are aware of only one report, which mentions not a single case among 1,341 DLPs when using 22-gauge needles.4 At our clinic, an average of 800 inpatients a year undergo DLP. We usually use 22-gauge needles, and occasionally (in less than 5%), 20-gauge needles. Over a 14.5-year period, we saw two patients with abducens palsy—one unilateral, one bilateral—after DLP. This translates to a risk of less than 1 out of 5,800 DLPs. ### Patient 1. A 61-year-old man with type 2 diabetes noticed progressive weakness of the legs. Neurologic examination revealed proximal paraparesis,…

Data from: Effects of undergrowth removal and edge proximity on ground beetles and vascular plants in urban boreal forests

2019

Urban forests are regularly managed for human safety and aesthetic reasons, but they are crucial habitat for many species. Removals of undergrowth occur commonly in these forests, yet the ecological consequences of these operations are poorly understood. We sampled ground beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) and vascular plants along 20-m edge gradients in Finnish urban forests, in five stands treated 0.5−2.5 years earlier with undergrowth removal and in five untreated stands. We hypothesized that undergrowth removal and edge proximity would benefit opportunistic and open-habitat species, whereas shady-habitat species would be affected negatively. (1) Regarding carabids, diversity and evenness i…
