Uz autentisku materiālu balstītu audio kursa izstrāde un ieviešana skolēnu klausīšanās prasmju pilnveidei angļu valodā 11. klasē
2022
Praktiskās klausīšanās prasmju trūkums skolēnu vidū ir viena no biežāk novērojamām problēmām angļu valodas stundās. Dažādi testēšanas elementi tiek izmantoti ar mērķi novērtēt klausīšanas prasmes, tomēr patiesais klausīšanās izpratnes process netiek veidots. Skolēni nezina iemeslus, kāpēc, klausoties, viņi pieļāva īpašas kļūdas, un tas noved pie tā, ka viņiem nav iespēju izstrādāt savas stratēģijas, kā izvairīties no kļūdu pieļaušanas. Stundās nav pietiekami daudz iespēju iesaistīties aktīvā klausīšanās procesā un nav iespējams praktiski izmantot piezīmes, kas gūtas, klausoties, un darba autore to uzskata par vienu no faktoriem, kas skolēniem rada grūtības klausīties. Pētījuma mērķis bija i…
Autochthonous organic matter promotes DNRA and suppresses N2O production in sediments of the coastal Baltic Sea
2021
Coastal environments are nitrogen (N) removal hot spots, which regulate the amount of land-derived N reaching the open sea. However, mixing between freshwater and seawater creates gradients of inorganic N and bioavailable organic matter, which affect N cycling. In this study, we compare nitrate reduction processes between estuary and offshore archipelago environments in the coastal Baltic Sea. Denitrification rates were similar in both environments, despite lower nitrate and carbon concentrations in the offshore archipelago. However, DNRA (dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium) rates were higher at the offshore archipelago stations, with a higher proportion of autochthonous carbon. Th…
Biogenic Fenton process - A possible mechanism for the mineralization of organic carbon in fresh waters.
2020
To explore the mechanisms that mineralize poorly bioavailable natural organic carbon (OC), we measured the mineralization of OC in two lake waters over long-term experiments (up to 623 days) at different pH and iron (Fe) levels. Both the microbial and photochemical mineralization of OC was higher at pH acidified to 4 than at the ambient pH 5 or an elevated pH 6. During 244 days, microbes mineralized up to 60% of OC in the 10-mu m filtrates of lake water and more than 27% in the 1-mu m filtrates indicating that large-sized microbes/grazers enhance the mineralization of OC. A reactivity continuum model indicated that the acidification stimulated the microbial mineralization of OC especially i…

Probing the Extremes of Covalency in M-Al bonds: Lithium and Zinc Aluminyl Compounds.
2022
Synthetic routes to lithium, magnesium, and zinc aluminyl complexes are reported, allowing for the first structural characterization of an unsupported lithium-aluminium bond. Crystallographic and quantum-chemical studies are consistent with the presence of a highly polar Li-Al interaction, characterized by a low bond order and relatively little charge transfer from Al to Li. Comparison with magnesium and zinc aluminyl systems reveals changes to both the M-Al bond and the (NON)Al fragment (where NON=4,5-bis(2,6-diisopropylanilido)-2,7-di-tert-butyl-9,9-dimethylxanthene), consistent with a more covalent character, with the latter complex being shown to react with CO<sub>2</sub> vi…
Reading comprehension from grade 1 to 6 in two shallow orthographies: comparison of Estonian and Finnish students
2018
The aim was to examine reading comprehension among elementary school students in two shallow orthographies, Estonian and Finnish. Participants were 619 Estonian children (50% boys) and 292 Finnish children (52% boys) whose reading comprehension was assessed in first, second, third, and sixth grades. The results showed that reading comprehension among Estonian and Finnish children was at a similar level by the end of first grade but Finnish children started to have better performance from second grade onward. These findings suggest that the roots of Finnish students’ strong reading skills are nurtured from the very beginning of elementary school. The potential cross-country differences in re…
Luminiscences procesi ar erbiju aktivētā bārija lutēcija fluorīdā un to atkarība no temperatūras un erbija jonu koncentrācijas
2018
Šajā darbā tiek apskatītas Ba4Lu3F17:Er3+ spektroskopiskās īpašības un to atkarības no temperatūras (8-300K) un aktivatoru jonu, Er3+, koncentrācijas (1, 10 un 40 mol%). Sintezētajiem pulverveida paraugiem tika izmērīti luminiscences un augšup-pārveidotās luminiscences spektri dažādās temperatūrās, ierosinot ar starojumu redzamajā un infrasarkanajā spektra diapazonā. Vietas jūtīgā spektroskopija ļauj noteikt, ka Er3+ atrodas dažādās pozīcijās Ba4Lu3F17 kristāliskajā struktūrā. Mainoties parauga temperatūrai, tiek novērotas izmaiņas luminiscences joslu platumā un intensitātē. Zaļajai Er3+ luminiscences joslai tiek uzņemtas luminiscences dzišanas kinētikas un to atkarība no parauga temperatūr…
An Euler-Bernoulli beam element with lumped plasticity applied on RC framed structures
2016
Most of existing reinforced concrete structures suffer due to corrosion of steel and concrete degradation. In many cases existing structures reveal to be inadequate to absorb the expected seismic load and need to be rehabilitated according to the in force code. In the worst case some structures have not been designed to absorb horizontal actions. The rehabilitation process begins with the complete knowledge of its geometrical configuration and the evaluation of the vulnerability of the structure to seismic loads. This analysis permits to identify critical zones and to establish focused strengthening actions. A comparison between the behavior of the structure in the current and in the future…
When the Grafting of Double Decker Phthalocyanines on Si(100)-2 × 1 Partly Affects the Molecular Electronic Structure
2016
International audience; A combined X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), and density functional theory (DFT) study has been performed to characterize the adsorbate interaction of lutetium biphthalocyanine (LuPc2) molecules on the Si(100)-2 × 1 surface. Large molecule–substrate adsorption energies are computed and are found to compete with the molecule–molecule interactions of the double decker molecules. A particularly good matching between STM images and computed ones confirms the deformation of the molecule upon the absorption process. The comparison between DFT calculations and XP spectra reveals that the electronic distribution in the two plateaus …
