A call to experimentally study acute affect-regulation mechanisms specific to driven exercise in eating disorders.
2020
Driven exercise (i.e., feeling compelled to exercise to control one's weight or shape, to obtain other positive consequences of exercising, or to avoid other negative consequences of not exercising) is a common phenomenon in individuals with eating disorders (EDs), typically associated with negative clinical outcomes. Current theoretical models of driven exercise highlight the short-term affect-regulating outcome of acute driven exercise, which is implicated to maintain this symptom either by positive or negative reinforcement. However, few studies have actually investigated cognitive, affective, and psychobiological mechanisms related to acute driven exercise. In particular, experimental s…
A potential role for water in the modulation of oxygen-binding by tarantula hemocyanin
2003
Hemocyanin from the tarantula Eurypelma californicum is a large respiratory protein with an exceptional high cooperativity. In contrast to hemocyanins from other species, no physiological allosteric effectors other than protons have been identified so far for this 24-meric oligomer. Here we report for the first time the mediating effects of water activity on the oxygen binding properties of a hemocyanin. Oxygen binding curves were measured in presence of several concentrations of glycine and sucrose since both substances reduce water activity. A pronounced shift of the p(50) was observed in both cases but in different directions: adding sucrose shifts the p(50) towards lower values whereas …
Government Economic Regulations in the Sphere of Higher Education during COVID-19 Crisis in Central Asia
2021
Bakalaura darbā tiek pētīta valsts ekonomiskā iejaukšanās, izmantojot augstākās izglītības ekonomisko regulējumu piemēru Vidusāzijā laikā no 2020. gada marta līdz 2021. gada martam. Mērķis ir salīdzināt COVID-19 krīzes ekonomisko ietekmi uz augstāko izglītību un ieviestajiem ekonomikas noteikumiem. Autors pētījumu veic daļēji strukturētu interviju veidā ar vadošo Vidusāzijas augstskolu pārstāvjiem. Galvenā atklātā problēma ir nesagatavotība ātrai pārejai uz tālmācību. Visbiežākie iemesli ir retā tiešsaistes studiju programmu prakse un sabiedrisko preču, piemēram, stabila interneta pieslēguma un elektrības, nodrošināšana. Pētījums arī parādīja, ka reģionā visplašāk izmantotais regulatīvais r…

The endopolygalacturonase 1 from botrytis cinerea activates grapevine defense reactions unrelated to its enzyumatic activity
2003
A purified glycoprotein from Botrytis cinerea(strain T4), identified as endopolygalacturonase 1 (T4BcPG1) by mass spectrometry analysis, has been shown to activate defense reactions in grapevine (Vitis vinifera cv. Gamay). These reactions include calcium influx, production of active oxygen species, activation of two mitogen-activated protein kinases, defense gene transcript accumulation, and phytoalexin production. Most of these defense reactions were also activated in grapevine in response to purified oligogalacturonides (OGA) with a degree of polymerization of 9 to 20. In vivo, these active OGA might be a part of the released products resulting from endopolygalacturonase activity on plan…
Adolescents’ musical relaxation: understanding related affective processing
2017
Music listening promotes adolescents’ well-being and relaxation in daily life. Relaxation is linked to affective self-regulation, but little is known about the specific affective processes of musical relaxation. The current study aimed to elaborate the affective dimension of adolescents’ musical relaxation, through detailed exploration of the related affect regulation goals, strategies, and induction mechanisms. A qualitative study with 55 adolescents (42 girls, 13 boys), aged 15, was conducted. Participants listened to self-selected relaxation music for 20 min, once in a laboratory and once at home, and provided written descriptions of their experience. A total of 110 episode descriptions …
Līdzjūtības pret sevi saistība ar emociju regulēšanas stratēģiju izvēli
2021
Pētījuma mērķis ir izpētīt saistības starp līdzjūtību pret sevi un emociju regulēšanas stratēģiju izvēli. Pētījumā tika aptaujāti 81 respondents vecumā no 18 līdz 70 gadiem, kuri aizpildīja divas sekojošas aptaujas: Iejūtības pret sevi skalu (Self-Compassion Scale (SCS), Neff, 2003), kuru Latvijā adaptējusi Liliāna Tamsone, 2015. gadā un Emociju regulācijas aptauju (Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, Gross & John, 2003), kuras sākotnējo veikusi Marija Morozova, 2011. gadā, un uzlabojumu veicis Emīls Ūdris un Edmunds Vanags 2017. gadā, kā arī demogrāfisko datu anketu. Iegūtie rezultāti uzrādīja pozitīvas saistības starp emociju regulācijas aptaujas Kognitīvās pārvērtēšanas apakškalu un Iejūtī…
Deconstructing and reconstructing resilience: a dynamic network approach
2019
Resilience is still often viewed as a unitary personality construct that, as a kind of anti-nosological entity, protects individuals against stress-related mental problems. However, increasing evidence indicates that the maintenance of mental health in the face of adversity results from complex and dynamic processes of adaptation to stressors that involve the activation of several separable protective factors. Such resilience factors can reside at biological, psychological and social levels and may include stable predispositions (such as genotype or personality traits) and malleable properties, skills, capacities or external circumstances (such as gene expression patterns, emotion regulatio…
The Emotion Regulation Cecklist Italian Translation Validation for parents and teacher versions.
2014
Our research explored the factor structure and the reliability of the Italian version of the Emotion Regulation Checklist [ERC; Shields, A.,& Cicchetti, D. (1997). Emotion regulation among school-age children: The development and validation of a new criterion Q-sort scale. Developmental Psychology, 33, 906-916], an instrument that has been widely adopted in studies using parents and/or teachers as informants. We carried out two studies evaluating the properties of the Italian ERC (ERC-I) when completed by parents and teachers, respectively. Study 1 participants were kindergarten and elementary school children for whom the ERC was completed by their mothers. Study 2 involved kindergarten and…
Automātisko negatīvo domu un trauksmes saistība ar emociju regulāciju
2022
Pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot, vai pastāv saistība starp trauksmi, automātiskām negatīvām domām un emociju regulāciju. Pētījumā piedalījās 83 respondenti vecumā no 21 līdz 65 gadiem (M = 37,55, SD = 1,09), no tiem 42% bija sievietes un 58% bija vīrieši (35 sievietes, 48 vīrieši). Automātisko negatīvo domu līmeņa mērīšanai, tika izmantota Automātisko negatīvo domu aptauja (Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire (ATQ), Hollon & Kendall, 1980), adaptāciju latviešu valodā veikusi M. Krūmiņa (2019), trauksmes līmeņa mērīšanai tika izmantota Trauksmes stāvokļa iezīmes - pašnovērtējuma aptauja (State – Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Spielberger, Gorsuch, Lushene, Vagg & Jacobs, 1983), adaptāciju latv…
