Typology of human aggression and its biological control

2008

Human aggression is considered a global public health problem with a tremendous impact on the victims. Scientists studying this behaviour can contribute to reducing this worldwide problem by identifying its causes and designing preventive interventions and treatment. Those working on its biological bases need to establish which types of human aggression may be candidates for a biological intervention, which makes it necessary to develop a typology of this behaviour. Considering the primary goal that guides the perpetrator to behave aggressively, a distinction is made between impulsive and premeditated types. However, to control aggression, the distinction should be made between individuals …

Effects of Including Sprints in One Weekly Low-Intensity Training Session During the Transition Period of Elite Cyclists

2020

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of including 30-s sprints in one weekly low-intensity training (LIT) session during a 3-week transition period in elite cyclists. Sixteen male elite cyclists (maximal oxygen uptake, VO2max: 72 ± 5 ml·kg−1·min−1) reduced their training load by ~60% for 3 weeks from the end of competitive season and performed only LIT or included 30-s sprints (SPR) in one weekly LIT-session. Performance and physiological capacities were evaluated during a prolonged (~2.5 h) test-session, including a strength test, a submaximal blood lactate profile test, an incremental test to exhaustion to determine VO2max, 1 h continuous cycling including four maximal…

Mutiskā tulkošana evaņģēliskajās draudzēs ar dievkalpojumiem krievu valodā

2017

Maģistra darbs „Mutiskā tulkošana evaņģēliskajās draudzēs ar dievkalpojumiem krievu valodā” izstrādāts 2017. gada pavasarī.

Šī darba autore, draudzes tulks ar 25 gadu stāžu, vēlās pievērst uzmanību šai savas kompetences jomai, mutiskajai tulkošanai evaņģēliskajās draudzēs ar dievkalpojumiem krievu valodā, un izveidot „ideālā” draudzes tulka portretu, balstoties uz klientu vēlmēm. Pētījums tika uzsākts 2015. gadā, veicot pilotaptauju, un turpinājās 2017. gadā. Kopumā 258 respondenti…

Economic value of a local museum

2004

Abstract The aim of this paper is to determine the economic value of a local cultural history museum, namely, the Museum of Central Finland in Jyvaskyla. This study also seeks to clarify what factors affect the willingness-to-pay for the Museum. Data were gathered from a sample of Jyvaskyla residents aged 18 and over via a postal questionnaire in November and December 1997. The results indicate that in reality, Jyvaskyla residents contribute less in taxes to the Museum than they report that they are willing to pay. This indicates that at least the present amount of tax revenue can justifiably be directed to the Museum. Maintenance of the Museum can thus be legitimised on the basis of the pu…
