Modeling the Effect of Modified Atmospheres on Conidial Germination of Fungi from Dairy Foods
2017
Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) is commonly applied to extend food shelf-life. Despite growth of a wide variety of fungal contaminants has been previously studied in relation to modified-atmospheres, few studies aimed at quantifying the effects of dioxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) partial pressures on conidial germination in solid agar medium. In the present study, an original culture method was developed, allowing microscopic monitoring of conidial germination under modified-atmospheres in static conditions. An asymmetric model was utilized to describe germination kinetics of Paecilomyces niveus, Mucor lanceolatus, Penicillium brevicompactum, Penicillium expansum, and Penicillium …
Blokķēžu tehnoloģijas pielietošana augstskolu diplomu autentifikācijas sistēmas izveidē
2021
Šobrīd Latvijā nepastāv vienota diplomu autentifikācijas sistēma, tāpēc gadījumā, ja ir nepieciešams pārliecināties, ka diploms nav viltots – ir jāveic rakstisks iesniegums augstskolai. Darba mērķis ir piedāvāt risinājumu šai problēmai, izstrādājot vienotu diplomu autentifikācijas sistēmas tehnoloģisko risinājumu. Darba teorētiskajā daļā tiek izpētītas datu apstrādes sistēmas, blokķēdes tehnoloģija un platformas, aprakstot to īpašības un darbības principu. Tika noskaidrots, ka blokķēdes tehnoloģija ir atbilstoša darba mērķa sasniegšanai Darba praktiskajā daļā tika apzināti pasaulē esošie blokķēdes tehnoloģijas risinājumi izglītības nozarē. Tika veikta aptauja par Latvijā esošajām augstskolu…
«Men for oss er det én Gud, Faderen» : et kritisk blikk på Richard Bauckhams kristologi
2012
Author's version of an article in the journal: Teologisk Tidsskrift. Also available from the publisher at: http://www.idunn.no/ts/tt/2012/01/art06 The article consists of two parts: Part one seeks to demonstrate (contra Bauckham) that Jewish monotheism in the Second Temple period was of a flexible character. It argues that Jewish writers in this period could attribute «divine functions» to figures beside God, while still feeling committed to «one God». The Jewish monotheism of this period was therefore not constituted by functions or characteristics, but rather by the exclusive worship of the one God. Part two argues that Paul describes Jesus with a high position beside God, while still fee…
Dog behaviour classification with movement sensors placed on the harness and the collar
2021
Dog owners’ understanding of the daily behaviour of their dogs may be enhanced by movement measurements that can detect repeatable dog behaviour, such as levels of daily activity and rest as well as their changes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of supervised machine learning methods utilising accelerometer and gyroscope data provided by wearable movement sensors in classification of seven typical dog activities in a semi-controlled test situation. Forty-five middle to large sized dogs participated in the study. Two sensor devices were attached to each dog, one on the back of the dog in a harness and one on the neck collar. Altogether 54 features were extracted from th…
Universālais un specifiskais haiku un dainu tradīcijā
2015
Maģistra darbā Universālais un specifiskais haiku un dainu tradīcijā tiek pētīta japāņu rakstiskās tradīcijas – haiku un latviešu mutiskās tradīcijas – dainu – izcelsmes vēsture, to tradīciju ietekmējošie faktori, uzbūves tendences un struktūra. Dodot ieskatu kā haiku, tā dainu vēsturē, uzmanība pievērsta trīs izcilākajiem haiku autoriem, kuru pasaules uztvere un redzējums definējis haiku un noteicis tās attīstības ceļus. Tāpat aplūkots Krišjāņa Barona devums latviešu mutvārdu tradīcijas saglabāšanā un sistematizēšanā. Darbā norādīti kā haiku, tā dainu atspoguļotie temati un grupēšanas struktūra. Apkopots universālais un specifiskais, kas izriet no darba laikā veiktajiem pētījumiem, aplūkoj…
Demographic characterization and genetic variability of the Girgentana goat breed by the analysis of genealogical data
2004
The aim of this paper is to present an overview of the actual Sicilian Girgentana population structure by the analysis ofgenealogical data. Statistics show that in 1983 the population consisted of 30,000 Girgentana goats; ten years lateralmost 98% of the entire Girgentana population disappeared. The remaining population consists of 461 individuals (134males and 327 females), with 368 living animals. The effective population size is 380 individuals. The inbreeding rate pergeneration was equal to 0.13%. The average estimated inbreeding level within the living male population was equal to0.8% (0-15%); and the average inbreeding level within the living female population was equal to 0.7% (0-31%…
Dietary exposure to mycotoxins through the consumption of commercial bread loaf in Valencia, Spain
2017
Abstract In this study, 80 commercial samples of bread loaves were purchased from different supermarkets located in Valencia (Spain). These samples were investigated for the presence of legislated and non-legislated mycotoxins. Results showed that samples were contaminated with Aflatoxins (AFs), Zearalenone (ZEA) and Enniatins (ENs) with a frequency of 20, 96, and 65% respectively. Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), Aflatoxin B2 (AFB2) and Aflatoxin G1 (AFG1) were detected with concentrations ranged from 0.5 to 7.1 μg/kg. The samples contaminated with AFB1 showed values exceeding the maximum limit allowed in the EU. The sum of AFs also exceeded the maximum limit allowed in 6 samples. ENs contamination da…
Is the Short and Fast Step Test a safe and feasible tool for exploring anaerobic capacities of individuals with coronary heart disease in clinical pr…
2021
Background While its importance in daily living, the anaerobic metabolism is not taken into account in clinical practice. The lack of validated functional performance tests for patients with chronic disabilities may explain this defect. In this context, the Short and Fast Step Test (SFST) was recently developed and validated in healthy volunteers. Aim The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety, feasibility and reliability of the SFST, a functional test exploring anaerobic metabolism in coronary patients during cardiac rehabilitation. Design This study was a monocentric prospective study. Settings This study took place in the rehabilitation center of the University Hospital Cent…
Maximal isometric muscle strength and functional ability in daily activities among 75-year-old men and women
2007
The purpose of this study was to analyze whether functional ability in daily activities among 75-year-old men and women is predicted by physical activity, isometric muscle strength and simple function tests. In this representative sample of a general population of 405 75-year-olds, isometric muscle strength and functional ability in daily activities were closely related (odds ratio of disability 1.2–2.1), stressing the importance of strength in the truncus, proximal and distal muscle groups for daily activities. There were strong correlations between physical activity, isometric muscle strength as well as simple function tests and ability to manage daily activities. Those with even light ph…
Musculoskeletal pain and use of analgesics in relation to mobility limitation among community-dwelling persons aged 75 years and older
2012
Pain and factors related to it constitute serious health problems in the older population. This populationbased cross-sectional study aimed to investigate whether musculoskeletal pain is associated with mobility limitation and whether the relationship between pain and mobility limitation varies according to the use of analgesics among community-dwelling older people. A total of 622 community-dwelling participants aged 75 years and older (mean age 80.4, 74% women) were interviewed about presence and severity of musculoskeletal pain. Self-reported analgesic drug utilization was verified against medical records. Mobility limitation was assessed by the Timed Up & Go test (TUG) time of >13.5 s o…
