The Religion of Ammon
2015
The Ammonites, a people living east of the Jordan River, were neighbors of the ancient Israelites. The Old Testament (1 Kings, 11,5; 2 Kings, 23,13) and probably an inscription from the citadel of Amman mention Milkom as the supreme God of the Ammonites. Most Ammonite names did not contain the name of their national god, but used a more generic divine name, ’El. We don’t know if the name: ’El refers to the Canaanite god or to a local manifestation of this deity. Ammonites also worshiped other deities (i.e. ‘Astarte, ‘Anat, Ba‘al, Hadad/’Adad, Qos, Samas, YHWH and Yerah). A number of limestone statues and clay figurines of bearded individuals wearing an atef-crown could be Ammonite monarchs …
Vārda brīvība un atbildība par neslavas celšanu elektroniskā vidē
2021
Saskaņā ar Latvijas Republikas Krimināllikumu, neslavas celšana tiek uzskatīta par noziedzīgu nodarījumu. Noziedzīgais nodarījums par neslavas celšanu tiek regulēts Krimināllikuma 157.pantā. Ņemot vērā pieminētā panta saturu, praksē var saskatīt problēmas, kuras saistītas ar cilvēktiesību sadursmi. Sabiedrībā līdz šim brīdim nav skaidra izpratne par aizskarošas informācijas publiskošanu un ietekmi uz vārda brīvību, kas ir demokrātiskas valsts iekārtas stūrakmens. Latvijas juridiskajā literatūrā trūkst plaši skaidrojumi par neslavas celšanas problēmjautājumiem, it īpaši elektroniskā vidē. Darba galvenā būtība ir izpētīt neslavas celšanas institūta būtību, aplūkojot teoriju, tiesu praksi, kā …
Chaotic dynamics and partial hyperbolicity
2017
The dynamics of hyperbolic systems is considered well understood from topological point of view as well as from stochastic point of view. S. Smale and R. Abraham gave an example showing that, in general, the hyperbolic systems are not dense among all differentiable systems. In 1970s, M. Brin and Y. Pesin proposed a new notion: partial hyperbolicity to release the notion of hyperbolicity. One aim of this thesis is to understand the dynamics of certain partially hyperbolic systems from stochastic point of view as well as from topological point of view. From stochastic point of view, we prove the following results: — There exists an open and dense subset U of robustly transitive nonhyperbolic …
Cytoprotective organoselenium compounds for oligodendrocytes
2021
Abstract Herein we report the synthesis of peptide-like and tetrazole-based organoselenium compounds via Ugi and Ugi-azide reactions, respectively. The organoselenium compounds' intrinsic cytoprotective and antioxidant capacities were evaluated in 158 N and 158JP murine oligodendrocytes. Furthermore, their redox properties were theoretically evaluated using Molecular Operating Environment-docking studies. Most of the compounds did not exhibit any cytotoxicity against the 158JP and 158 N cells. Among the tested compounds, the tetrazole- (e.g., 6, 7, and 9) and the pseudopeptide-based organoselenium compounds (e.g., 11, 15, and 17) displayed antioxidant properties. On the other hand, the quin…
NOTES ON A STATUE FROM THE COLLECTIONS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF UNION FROM ALBA IULIA
2016
This study proposes to re-evaluate a marble statue from the old collections of the National Museum of Union Alba Iulia. It was discovered by A. Cserni during excavations carried out at the Palace of the Governors of Roman Dacia, in 1898. It has been repeatedly published by Á. Hekler and Al. Diaconescu. While the latter author established dating and iconographic prototype of the statue, we believe that further details as discovery place and context, depiction, iconographic attribution and role of this work of art can be offered. Presence of a follower at the feet of the divinity, more precisely the right foot of a character – child, conveys us the idea of depiction of Eros, god of love. Usua…
Caesarvs : el dios venerado en el templo del Collado de las Piedras Labradas (Jarilla, Cáceres).
2018
En el presente artículo estudiamos algunas inscripciones votivas halladas junto a las ruinas del templo romano del Collado de las Piedras Labradas (Jarilla, Cáceres). Hasta el momento, no se conocía el nombre de la deidad venerada en este recinto sagrado pero, a partir del estudio de dos de las inscripciones que de allí proceden, hemos podido concluir que el dios adorado en este templo era Caesarus, una deidad indígena lusitana. A partir de esta identificación hemos investigado el significado del teónimo y de su único posible paralelo: Caesariciaecus, testimoniado en el pueblo de Martiago (Salamanca). Teniendo en cuenta estos datos y el contexto montañoso en el que se situaba el templo, hem…
Horyzontalny skutek bezpośredni obowiązku zawieszenia udzielania pomocy na podstawie art. 108 ust. 3 zd. 3 TFUE
2021
Niniejsza praca odnosi się do zagadnienia skutku bezpośredniego klauzuli zawieszenia (art. 108 ust. 3 zd. 3 TFUE), mającej zastosowanie do odzyskania pomocy niezgodnej z prawem bez konieczności istnienia decyzji Komisji, wskazując, że niedawny rozwój orzecznictwa wskazuje na jej skutek horyzontalny. Nadto sytuacja beneficjenta jest poddawana ocenie z wnioskiem, że ów nie posiada podobnej pozycji procesowej, co osoba powołująca się na art. 108 ust. 3 zd. 3 TFUE. Praca odnosi się do stanu prawnego z 1.04.2021 r.
Atbildība par nelikumīgām darbībām sportā
2019
Šī darba temats ir atbildība par nelikumīgām darbībām sportā, konkrētāk, par manipulācijām ar sporta sacensībām un antidopinga noteikumu pārkāpumiem, skatoties uz faktu, ka par pirmo Krimināllikumā iekļauts atsevišķs pants, bet par dopinga lietošanu nav un kriminālatbildību iespējams piemērot tikai ļoti retos gadījumos. Tālākai tēmas analīzei būtiski izprast jēdzienu saturu, šo darbību praktisko izpausmi un ietekmi uz sportistu tiesībām, interesēm, kā arī uz sabiedrību kopumā. Bakalaura darba mērķis ir apskatīt minēto neatļauto rīcību aktualitāti Latvijā, regulējumu un tā atbilstību starptautiskajiem tiesību aktiem, kā arī regulējumu ārvalstīs, kurās par manipulācijām ar sporta sacensībām u…
B7‐H1 and CD8+Treg: The enigmatic role of B7‐H1 in peripheral tolerance
2009
The interaction between B7-H1 (PD-L1) expressed on APC with PD-1 expressed by T cells was shown previously to result in inhibition of T-cell activation and autoimmune diseases. A paper in this issue of the European Journal of Immunology demonstrates that DC B7-H1 expression can in fact enhance autoimmunity, rather than suppress it. Using a model of direct injection of self antigen-loaded DC into the CNS, the authors demonstrate that DC with intact B7-H1 expression exacerbate CNS autoimmune disease. Importantly, the improved disease outcome in animals treated with B7-H1(-/-) DC is a result of a population of CD8(+) Treg cells that expand at the site of autoimmune inflammation.
The matricellular protein SPARC supports follicular dendritic cell networking toward Th17 responses.
2011
Abstract Lymphnode swelling during immune responses is a transient, finely regulated tissue rearrangement, accomplished with the participation of the extracellular matrix. Here we show that murine and human reactive lymph nodes express SPARC in the germinal centres. Defective follicular dendritic cell networking in SPARC-deficient mice is accompanied by a severe delay in the arrangement of germinal centres and development of humoral autoimmunity, events that are linked to Th17 development. SPARC is required for the optimal and rapid differentiation of Th17 cells, accordingly we show delayed development of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis whose pathogenesis involves Th17. Not only h…
