Correlation between school dropout and gross domestic product in the emerging countries of Central and Eastern Europe
2020
By school dropout is meant leaving the educational system, regardless of the reached level, before obtaining a qualification or a complete proffesional training or before the end of the study cycle started (Doron & Parot, 2006). Although there are numerous researches on school dropout, we consider that it is necessary to study the relationship it has with the level of development of a country, in order to identify new causes and possible solutions to this phenomenon. In this study we included seven emerging countries of Central and Eastern Europe: Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Hungary. Thus, we analyzed the correlation between the annual gross domesti…
Evaluating the Interrelationship between Actions of Latvian Commercial Banks and Latvian Economic Growth
2017
Abstract This paper aims to evaluate the existence of the interrelationship between Latvian commercial banks’ operations on the economy, based on economic theory and the analysis of banks’ retained earnings, credit growth and economic growth trends. The existence of this interrelationship was tested using Granger causality and Johansen co integration tests. The analysis was based on quarterly data from 2001 to 2015. The study reviewed several indicators for banking developments to establish their relevance for GDP growth: credit to non-banks, non-bank deposits and bank retained earnings. This paper finds that the empirical link between bank retained earnings and GDP growth is more robust th…
Representation of Intimate Partner Violence Against Women in Swedish News Media: A Discourse Analysis.
2020
Despite being rated as some of the world’s most gender equal countries, Sweden and neighboring Nordic nations show high rates of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW). As the news media contribute to the shaping of public attitudes, this article pursues a two-step discourse analysis of how IPVAW was represented in seven Swedish newspapers during 2018. Although an individualistic discourse on IPVAW was found to be most prevalent, articles where perpetrators were presented as non-Swedish more frequently contained a structural framing of IPVAW. This confirms previously noted tendencies toward individualization and othering of IPVAW in Sweden.

Guía para la incorporación de la perspectiva de género en la docencia en Sociología, Economía y Ciencias Políticas
2019
Sociology has constructed a male worldview that entails a biased interpretation of social reality. For its part, the traditional economy has made invisible the dependence of the commercial sphere of the domestic sphere. And in the field of political science, we also find many gender biases in basic concepts such as justice, equality or citizenship. This article, based on the work done by the authors in the Guia per a una docència universitària amb perspectiva de gènere de Sociologia, Economia i Ciència Política, offers some proposals, teaching resources and consultation tools to introduce the gender perspective in teaching, knowledge transfer and research in these disciplines.

Politiskā situācija Vidzemē 1917. gada vasarā: Vidzemes Bezzemnieku deputātu padomju faktors
2021
Maģistra darba “Politiskā situācija Vidzemē 1917. gada vasarā: Vidzemes Bezzemnieku deputātu padomju faktors” mērķis ir izpētīt politisko situāciju Vidzemē 1917. gada vasarā, galveno vērību pievēršot Vidzemes Bezzemnieku padomju faktoram Vidzemes lauku novados iedzīvotāju un regulējošu institūciju darbības kontekstā, jo līdzšinējā historiogrāfijā Bezzemnieku padomju faktora loma ir pārvērtēta. Darba rezultātā tiek secināts, ka galvenie noteicošie faktori dēļ kā Bezzemnieku deputātu padomju darbība ir uzskatāma par veiksmīgu bija sociālekonomiskie apstākļi pirms Februāra revolūcijas un Bezzemnieku padomju veiksmīga pretdarbība citām lauku institūcijām. Pētījuma gaitā arī apstiprinās, ka hist…
Enriched rearing environment and wild genetic background can enhance survival and disease resistance of salmonid fishes during parasite epidemics
2015
Summary 1. The importance and volume of aquaculture is increasing world-wide. Rearing practices play a key role in determining growth rate, survival and disease resistance in aquaculture fishes. Recent evidence suggests that in comparison with a standard stimulus-poor rearing environment, an enriched or variable rearing environment has significant positive effects on several traits underlying growth and well-being of fish. However, the effect of enriched rearing on one of the most important threats for aquaculture development, occurrence of parasitic infections, remains unknown. 2. We used surveillance data of experimental salmonid populations of wild and hatchery origin under semi-natural …
The evolution of lactase persistence in Europe. A synthesis of archaeological and genetic evidence
2012
Lactase persistence, the ability to digest the milk sugar lactose in adulthood, is highly associated with a T allele situated 13,910 bp upstream from the actual lactase gene in Europeans. The frequency of this allele rose rapidly in Europe after transition from hunter–gatherer to agriculturalist lifestyles and the introduction of milkable domestic species from Anatolia some 8000 years ago. Here we first introduce the archaeological and historic background of early farming life in Europe, then summarize what is known of the physiological and genetic mechanisms of lactase persistence. Finally, we compile the evidence for a co-evolutionary process between dairying culture and lactase persisten…
Children Witnessing Domestic and Family Violence: A Widespread Occurrence during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic
2021
Across the world, children and adolescents are exposed daily to toxic levels of violent behaviors, including domestic and family violence. Violence increasingly has permeated and profoundly affected the lives of children, who are the most vulnerable members of society.1 Pediatric societies in Europe and North America have raised great concern over the effect that abusive experiences will have on present and future generations.1, 2, 3, 4 The global spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) during the past year has dramatically worsened the situation, contributing to a further increase in violence and aggression within households. Reports of domestic abuse and family violence have increas…
