Predicting limiting 'free sugar' consumption using an integrated model of health behavior.

2020

Excess intake of ‘free sugars’ is a key predictor of chronic disease, obesity, and dental ill health. Given the importance of determining modifiable predictors of free sugar-related dietary behaviors, we applied the integrated behavior change model to predict free sugar limiting behaviors. The model includes constructs representing ‘reasoned’ or deliberative processes that lead to action (e.g., social cognition constructs, intentions), and constructs representing ‘non-conscious’ or implicit processes (e.g., implicit attitudes, behavioral automaticity) as predictors of behavior. Undergraduate students (N = 205) completed measures of autonomous and controlled motivation, the theory of planned…

Editorial: Clinical Trials in Raynaud's Phenomenon: A Spoonful of Sugar (Pill) Makes the Medicine Go Down (in Flames)

2017

Objective To determine the effect of selexipag, an oral, selective IP prostacyclin receptor agonist, on the frequency of attacks of Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Methods Patients with SSc‐related RP were randomized 1:1 to placebo (n = 38) or selexipag (n = 36) in individualized doses (maximum of 1,600 μg twice daily) during a 3‐week titration period. The primary end point was the weekly average number of RP attacks during the study maintenance period, analyzed using a Bayesian approach with a negative binomial model adjusted for baseline number of RP attacks. Other outcome measures included Raynaud's Condition Score (RCS), RP attack duration, and treat…

Glycosyl azides as building blocks in convergent syntheses of oligomeric lactosamine and Lewisx saccharides

1997

Abstract Oligosaccharides containing type 2 lactosamine repeating units, e.g. neo-lacto-octaose and trimeric Lewis x derivatives, are constructed using neo-lactosamine azide building blocks. The azido group provides a favorable protection of the anomeric position which is stable to versatile protecting group manipulations and glycosylation reactions. On the other hand, glycosyl azides can be converted into glycosyl fluorides via a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with di- tert -butyl-acetylenedicar☐ylate and subsequent treatment of the resulting N -glycosyl triazoles with hydrogen fluoride-pyridine complex. Activation of the lactosamine fluorides with Lewis acids affords the possibility to extend …

Conjugacy problem for braid groups and Garside groups

2003

We present a new algorithm to solve the conjugacy problem in Artin braid groups, which is faster than the one presented by Birman, Ko and Lee. This algorithm can be applied not only to braid groups, but to all Garside groups (which include finite type Artin groups and torus knot groups among others).

Režisora Aigara Graubas filmu "Baiga vasara", "Rīgas sargi" un "Sapņu komanda 1935" izmantoto tehniku un vizuālās komunikācijas analīze

2016

Bakalaura darba tēma ir „Režisora Aigara Graubas filmu "Baiga vasara", "Rīgas sargi" un "Sapņu komanda 1935" izmantoto tehniku un vizuālās komunikācijas analīze”. Bakalaura darbā pētāmā problēma ir – kādi ir filmu galvenie vizuālās komunikācijas elementi, kādas tehniskās pieejas tika izmantotas filmu veidošanā, kāpēc, un kā tas atspoguļojas filmu vizuālajā komunikācijā? Tika izvirzīti galvenie uzdevumi – izanalizēt literatūru par Latvijas kino vēsturi, vēsturisko kino žanru, digitālo kino, filmas tapšanas posmiem, vizuālo komunikāciju; intervēt filmas veidotājus (režisoru, producentu, montāžisti, operatoru); veikt filmu kvalitatīvo kontentanalīzi; apkopot un salīdzināt iegūtos rezultātus, u…

Natural Organic Compounds in Soil Solution: Potential Role as Soil Quality Indicators

2013

This review focuses on the chemical nature of that fraction of already dissolved organic matter into soil solution, or extracted by mild extractants, which is truly readily available for microbial activity and, consequently, more sensitive than total soil organic matter to changes in management and/or environmental conditions. In particular, we deal with low molecular weight compounds such as monosaccharides, amino sugars and amino acids. Soil sampling strategy and extraction procedure, prior to analyses, are crucial to make comparable results among laboratories. Although soil management and climatic conditions may cause large variability, extractable organic C and N may indicate the amount…

Influence of indigenous Hanseniaspora uvarum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae from sugar-rich substrates on the aromatic composition of loquat beer

2022

The demand for unique and exclusive food products and beverages is constantly on the increase. One of the products that mostly evolved to encounter market dynamics in the last decade is craft beer. For a long time, craft breweries have included fruit in beer production to enrich flavour and aroma profile of different beer styles. In this study, for the first time, the use of Saccharomyces and non-Saccharomyces yeast strains isolated from high -sugar matrices (manna and fermented honey by-products) were investigated to diversify fruit craft beer pro-duction, in order to improve the fermentation process and highlight the complexity of aroma profiles generated during alcoholic fermentation.
