The Spatial Overlap of Police Calls Reporting Street-Level and Behind-Closed-Doors Crime: A Bayesian Modeling Approach
2021
Traditionally, intimate-partner violence has been considered a special type of crime that occurs behind closed doors, with different characteristics from street-level crime. The aim of this study is to analyze the spatial overlap of police calls reporting street-level and behind-closed-doors crime. We analyzed geocoded police calls in the 552 census-block groups of the city of Valencia, Spain, related to street-level crime (N = 26,624) and to intimate-partner violence against women (N = 11,673). A Bayesian joint model was run to analyze the spatial overlap. In addition, two Bayesian hierarchical models controlled for different neighborhood characteristics to analyze the relative risks. Resu…
Pašvaldības domes deputāta tiesību aizsardzības līdzekļi
2020
Maģistra darba mērķis ir noskaidrot pašvaldības domes deputāta tiesisko statusu un to subjektīvo tiesību aizsardzības iespējas, ja, īstenojot deputāta pilnvaras, tā tiesības tiek aizskartas. Attiecīgais jautājums juridiskajā literatūrā līdz šim nav pētīts, taču tā aktualitāti apstiprina gan Satversmes tiesas, gan administratīvo tiesu prakse. Darba izstrādes procesā autore secināja, ka pašvaldības domes deputātam atsevišķos gadījumos piemīt subjektīvās publiskās tiesības, kuru aizsardzība ir iespējama administratīvajā tiesā. Taču pašvaldības domes deputātam nav paredzēts tiesību aizsardzības mehānisms jebkurā situācijā, kurā tas saskaras ar subjektīvu neapmierinātību par pašvaldības un tās i…
Innovation as a driver of internationalization in the software industry
2013
Innovation and internationalization are two important factors for growth. This study analyzes whether innovativeness has an effect on the internationalization of software firms, and if so, how strong this effect is. Innovation and internationalization have rarely been studied together, with research tending to focus more on the relationship between innovations and growth. However, internationalization is a key prerequisite for growth for companies operating in small domestic markets. This paper analyzes the innovativeness and internationalization of firms, using data from the Software Industry Survey conducted in Finland. Since the speed of firm growth and internationalization are dependent…
Towards gender awareness in couple therapy and in treatment of intimate partner violence
2017
Gender is the most pervasive classification of individuals and thus strongly defines couple relationships. Cultural discourses on couple relationships reproduce hierarchical gender differences, and couple distress is often linked to gendered power inequalities. At worst, gender is the basis for intimate partner violence (IPV). Generally, however, therapeutic interventions do not address the issues of gender and gendered power. This paper discusses the meaning and functions of gender in the context of couple therapy, in particular for IPV. It is argued that the therapist needs to be skilled in discursive deconstruction to be able not only to address the client’s situation as an individual ex…
Evolutionary advantage conferred by an eukaryote-to-eukaryote gene transfer event in wine yeasts
2015
Although an increasing number of horizontal gene transfers have been reported in eukaryotes, experimental evidence for their adaptive value is lacking. Here, we report the recent transfer of a 158-kb genomic region between Torulaspora microellipsoides and Saccharomyces cerevisiae wine yeasts or closely related strains. This genomic region has undergone several rearrangements in S. cerevisiae strains, including gene loss and gene conversion between two tandemly duplicated FOT genes encoding oligopeptide transporters. We show that FOT genes confer a strong competitive advantage during grape must fermentation by increasing the number and diversity of oligopeptides that yeast can utilize as a s…
Pārrobežu ceļu satiksmes negadījumiem piemērojamais likums
2017
Bakalaura darba tēma ir „Pārrobežu ceļu satiksmes negadījumos piemērojamais likums”. Bakalaura darba mērķis ir noskaidrot, kādos gadījumos tiek piemērota 1971. gada 4. maija konvencija „Konvencija par ceļu satiksmes negadījumiem piemērojamo likumu” un Eiropas Parlamenta un Padomes Regula Nr. 864/2007, un kā šie divi starptautiskie normatīvie akti mijiedarbojas un atšķiras. Kā arī, izpētīt, vai tos savā praksē pielieto apdrošinātāji. Pētāmās problēmas galvenais iemesls - apdrošinātāji, nosakot atbildību un aprēķinot apdrošināšanas atlīdzību par zaudējumiem, kas cietušajām personām radušies ceļu satiksmes negadījuma rezultātā, piemēro tās valsts likumu, kurā tas noticis, nevis meklē piemēroja…
Stłumiona narracja. Igora Marojevicia opowieść o naddunajskich Szwabach
2017
On the South Slavic territories, the end of the World War II came with the victory of communism. As a result, post-war decades in Yugoslavia were subordinated to the partisan ethos founded on the myth of the struggle with fascism. Directly after the war, this struggle assumed disposing of the so-called domestic enemies amongst whom there were also the Germans living in the Serbian Vojvodina from the 18th century. In the post-war Serbia, diversified repressions (displacements, forcible work, camp experience, confiscation of things) were aimed at the German people, predominantly civilians. These repressions constituted the taboo in the Yugoslavian national discourse, with this situation lasti…

The European Union as a laboratory of paradiplomacy in the context of international and domestic determinants of regions' foreign activities
2019
Celem artykułu jest zaproponowanie podejścia postrzegającego UE jako laboratorium paradyplomacji w kontekście międzynarodowych i wewnętrznych uwarunkowań aktywności zagranicznej regionów. Artykuł otwierają rozważania definicyjne, które pozwalają zrozumieć niejednoznaczność statusu regionów w stosunkach międzynarodowych. Następnie przywołane zostały wymiary i typy paradyplomacji. W dalszej kolejności, identyfikowane są międzynarodowe i wewnętrzne uwarunkowania międzynarodowego zaangażowania regionów. Podejście postrzegające UE jako laboratorium paradyplomacji wyjaśniono w trzech kolejnych częściach. W pierwszej, integracja europejska jest traktowana jako międzynarodowo-narodowa (intermestic)…
