The management of crop-livestock systems at a territory level: the example of grain legume crops and of monogastric livestock in Burgundy, France
2012
Although cereals and oil seed crops are very developed in Burgundy, the area of grain legumes cultivation is small. Concerning monogastric livestock, the region is characterised by a medium size poultry production focussed on markets under quality and origin signs (SIQO) and a relatively small pig production. Although a tendency of co-location of these productions can be observed (at territory and farm scales) and some animals consume locally-produced proteins, there is no strong functional link between these crops and animal activities. This situation is confirmed by the fact that a significant proportion of produced grain legumes are exported by Burgundy, while large quantities of soybean…
Characterization of Erwinia gerundensis A4, an Almond-Derived Plant Growth-Promoting Endophyte
2021
The rapidly increasing global population and anthropogenic climate change have created intense pressure on agricultural systems to produce increasingly more food under steadily challenging environmental conditions. Simultaneously, industrial agriculture is negatively affecting natural and agricultural ecosystems because of intensive irrigation and fertilization to fully utilize the potential of high-yielding cultivars. Growth-promoting microbes that increase stress tolerance and crop yield could be a useful tool for helping mitigate these problems. We investigated if commercially grown almonds might be a resource for plant colonizing bacteria with growth promotional traits that could be use…
Toxicological Findings of Self-Poisoning Suicidal Deaths: A Systematic Review by Countries
2022
The use of illicit and non-illicit substances is widespread in suicides. The toxicological data may help in understanding the mechanism of death. This systematic review aimed to analyze autopsies related to suicides by consuming poison, focusing on the correlation between substance use and the country of origin to create an alarm bell to indicate that suicide maybe attempted and prevent it. The systematic review was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines, with the primary objective of identifying autopsies conducted in cases of suicide by consuming poison in specific geographic areas. Significant differences in substances were observed between low-income and Western countries that con…
Formuliranje politike u promjenjivim uvjetima vlasti: kako izučavati sigurnosnu politiku tijekom njezina formuliranja
2008
The purpose of this paper is to deliberate the making of security policy in the EU-context, where national security discourse will increasingly face needs and demands to be melt together with a new kind of security discourse and policy of mainland Europe. By taking the viewpoint of a citizen of a modern nation-state, this paper wants to open the question of how citizens and their values are positioned in relation to the modern state and its security policy within this progress. In particular, as the two latter concepts are in motion towards some new essence. This article claims that the ongoing shaping of the new European security discourse, and values it is argued to contain, appears to ci…
Naratīva struktūra un galvenā tēla analīze Džeimsa Bonda filmās
2016
Par bakalaura darba “Naratīva struktūra un galvenā tēla analīze Džeimsa Bonda filmās” pētījuma problēmu tiek izvirzīta Džeimsa Bonda filmu apbrīnojamā popularitāte, tāpēc, lai noskaidrotu šo filmu panākumu cēloni, darba mērķis ir apskatīt Bonda filmām raksturīgo naratīva struktūru, filmas tēlus un to lomas, kā arī pašu galveno varoni. Darba teorija ir balstīta uz teorētiķu atziņām un pētnieciskajām iestrādnēm par populāro kultūru, naratīvu, žanru kā būtisku naratīva sastāvdaļu, formālistu naratīva studijām, kā arī kino valodas elementiem. Ar kvantitatīvās un kvalitatīvās kontentanalīzes un naratīvas analīzes palīdzību ir veikta analīze piecās Džeimsa Bonda filmās: “Zelta pirksts”, “Dzīvo un…
Hiphopa grupas "Singapūras Satīns" satura analīze: auditorijas gaidas un vajadzības
2021
Bakalaura darba tēma ir “Hiphopa grupas "Singapūras Satīns" satura analīze: auditorijas gaidas un vajadzības”. Darbā tiek pētīts, kādas ir auditorijas vēlmes un vajadzības, ko tā vēlas apmierināt, patērējot populāro mūziku, kā arī, ko auditorija sagaida no repa mūzikas žanra un vai grupas “Singapūras Satīns” dziesmu saturs un to pasniegšanas elementi atbilst šīm auditorijas gaidām un vajadzībām. Darba teorētiskajā daļā tiek apskatīta populārās kultūras teorija, repa mūzikas un hip-hopa kultūras raksturojums, lietojuma un apmierinājuma teorija, populārās kultūras teorija un auditorijas koncepts. Bakalaura darba ietvaros tika veikts pētījums, izmantojot trīs pētījuma metodes – interneta aptau…
Useful Evidence by Post-Mortem CT and Stereomicroscopy in Bone Injury: A Case Series from Forensic Practice
2023
The investigation of bone injuries is an essential topic in forensics. We sometimes have to deal with charred or dismembered human remains that have lost soft tissue, making it difficult to diagnose the mechanisms of injury that led to death. Our contribution aims to share with the scientific community how we approached two cases of very different bone injuries and the techniques used to differentiate relevant pathology findings of bone fragments. Two cases are analyzed from the case history of the forensic medicine institute of Palermo. PMCT made it possible to differentiate heat bone lesions from traumatic lesions. The stereomicroscope was superior to PMCT in being able to better characte…
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Trains at 1 Hz Frequency of the Right Posterior Parietal Cortex Facilitate Recognition Memory
2021
Neuroimaging, neuropsychological, and brain stimulation studies have led to contrasting findings regarding the potential roles of the lateral parietal lobe in episodic memory. Studies using brain stimulation methods reported in the literature do not offer unequivocal findings on the interactions with stimulation location (left vs. right hemisphere) or timing of the stimulation (encoding vs. retrieval). To address these issues, active and sham 1 Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) trains of 600 stimuli were applied over the right or left posterior parietal cortex (PPC) before the encoding or before the retrieval phase of a recognition memory task of unknown faces in a grou…
Haptic Perception in Extreme Obesity: qEEG Study Focused on Predictive Coding and Body Schema
2020
Haptic perception (HP) is a perceptual modality requiring manual exploration to elaborate the physical characteristics of external stimuli through multisensory integrative cortical pathways. Cortical areas exploit processes of predictive coding that collect sensorial inputs to build and update internal perceptual models. Modifications to the internal representation of the body have been associated with eating disorders. In the light of this, obese subjects were selected as a valid experimental model to explore predictive coding in haptic perception. To this purpose, we performed electroencephalographic (EEG) continuous recordings during a haptic task in normally weighted versus obese subjec…
Multifokālo kontaktlēcu lietotāju redzes asums un stereoredze
2018
Bakalaura darbs uzrakstīts uz 37 lapaspusēm, satur 10 zīmējumus, 5 tabulas un 18 literatūras avotus. Darba mērķis ir novērtēt redzes asumu un stereoredzi tuvumā un tālumā pacientiem koriģētiem ar brillēm un multifokālajām kontaktlēcām. Mūsu pētījumi parādīja, ka tāluma binokulārais redzes asums visiem pacientiem ir labs – virs 0,95. Tuvuma redzes asums pacientiem koriģētiem ar brillēm ir labāks un pacienti dod priekšroku brillēm. Tuvuma stereoredze noteikta ar Titmusa mušas testu un Titmusa apļu testu pacientiem koriģētiem ar brillēm un kontaktlēcām bija laba. Tāluma stereoredzes parametriem mēs redzam atšķirību, ar brillēm stereoredze ir labāka, bet rezultātu atšķirība nav statistiski būti…
