La ‘svolta ontologica’ e le questioni epistemologiche in antropologia

2020

In the first part of this article I propose to approach the ‘ontological turn’ in anthropology by focusing on how Martin Holbraad and Eduardo Viveiros de Castro link epistemological, ontological and political issues. Focusing on their new epistemological views to others’ forms of thought and their intrinsic conceptual and ontological presuppositions, inexplicable through the recourse to external determinants, these scholars aim at a radical epistemological and political questioning of the bipartitions of Western modern ontology (such as nature vs culture) in line with Bruno Latour’s ideas on ‘modern constitution’ and its distinction between ‘matters of fact’ and ‘matters of concern’. The ar…

GreekLex 2: A comprehensive lexical database with part-of-speech, syllabic, phonological, and stress information

2017

Databases containing lexical properties on any given orthography are crucial for psycholinguistic research. In the last ten years, a number of lexical databases have been developed for Greek. However, these lack important part-of-speech information. Furthermore, the need for alternative procedures for calculating syllabic measurements and stress information, as well as combination of several metrics to investigate linguistic properties of the Greek language are highlighted. To address these issues, we present a new extensive lexical database of Modern Greek (GreekLex 2) with part-of-speech information for each word and accurate syllabification and orthographic information predictive of stre…

Masked priming effects are modulated by expertise in the script.

2010

In a recent study using a masked priming same–different matching task, García-Orza, Perea, and Muñoz (2010) found a transposition priming effect for letter strings, digit strings, and symbol strings, but not for strings of pseudoletters (i.e., [Formula: see text] produced similar response times to the control pair [Formula: see text]). They argued that the mechanism responsible for position coding in masked priming is not operative with those “objects” whose identity cannot be attained rapidly. To assess this hypothesis, Experiment 1 examined masked priming effects in Arabic for native speakers of Arabic, whereas participants in Experiments 2 and 3 were lower intermediate learners of Arabi…

Codebook is an effective image representation method. By clustering in local image descriptors, a codebook is shown to be a distinctive image feature and widely applied in object classification. In almost all existing works on codebooks, the building of the visual vocabulary follows a basic routine, that is, extracting local image descriptors and clustering with a user-designated number of clusters. The problem with this routine lies in that building a codebook for each single dataset is not efficient. In order to deal with this problem, we investigate the influence of vocabulary sizes on classification performance and vocabulary universality with the kNN classifier. Experimental results in…

iGEMS : an integrated model for identification of alternative exon usage events

2016

DNA microarrays and RNAseq are complementary methods for studying RNA molecules. Current computational methods to determine alternative exon usage (AEU) using such data require impractical visual inspection and still yield high false-positive rates. Integrated Gene and Exon Model of Splicing (iGEMS) adapts a gene-level residuals model with a gene size adjusted false discovery rate and exon-level analysis to circumvent these limitations. iGEMS was applied to two new DNA microarray datasets, including the high coverage Human Transcriptome Arrays 2.0 and performance was validated using RT-qPCR. First, AEU was studied in adipocytes treated with (n = 9) or without (n = 8) the anti-diabetes drug,…

Hypoxia Positively Regulates the Expression of pH-Sensing G-Protein–Coupled Receptor OGR1 (GPR68)

2016

Background & Aims: A novel family of proton-sensing G-proteinâcoupled receptors, including ovarian cancer G-proteinâcoupled receptor 1 (OGR1) (GPR68) has been identified to play a role in pH homeostasis. Hypoxia is known to change tissue pH as a result of anaerobic glucose metabolism through the stabilization of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α. We investigated how hypoxia regulates the expression of OGR1 in the intestinal mucosa and associated cells. Methods: OGR1 expression in murine tumors, human colonic tissue, and myeloid cells was determined by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. The influence of hypoxia on OGR1 expression was studied in monocytes/macrophages and…

Walmoo klientu lojalitātes platformas pārvaldes paneļa izstrāde

2022

Kvalifikācijas darba ietvaros ir izstrādāts pārvaldes panelis “Walmoo” klientu lojalitātes platformai. Ar šīs lietotnes palīdzību var pārvaldīt platformā piereģistrētos kontus, to apmeklētājus, apskatīt platformas statistikas datus turpmākai analīzei, kā arī veidot, sūtīt un apskatīt rēķinus. Lietotne pieejama tikai vienam platformā piereģistrētam kontam, kurš ir identificēts kā platformas īpašnieks. Darba mērķis ir izstrādāt jaunu uzlabotu pārvaldes paneļa versiju jau esošajam nepabeigtajam risinājumam.

Comprehensive dataset of shotgun metagenomes from oxygen stratified freshwater lakes and ponds

2021

Stratified lakes and ponds featuring steep oxygen gradients are significant net sources of greenhouse gases and hotspots in the carbon cycle. Despite their significant biogeochemical roles, the microbial communities, especially in the oxygen depleted compartments, are poorly known. Here, we present a comprehensive dataset including 267 shotgun metagenomes from 41 stratified lakes and ponds mainly located in the boreal and subarctic regions, but also including one tropical reservoir and one temperate lake. For most lakes and ponds, the data includes a vertical sample set spanning from the oxic surface to the anoxic bottom layer. The majority of the samples were collected during the open wate…

Tīmekļa lietotņu veiktspējas optimizācija izmantojot WebAssembly

2019

Bakalaura darba “Tīmekļa lietotņu veiktspējas optimizācija izmantojot WebAssembly” mērķis ir noskaidrot WebAssembly izmantošanas un nepieciešamības apstākļus, kā arī veikt pētijumu par tīmekļa lietotnes veiktspējas analīzi pēc moduļu pārstrādes uz WebAssembly kompilētu kodu, lai varētu noteikt, kad to ir vērts izmantot. Darbs sika sadalīts divās sadaļās. Pirmajā sadaļā tika veikta analīze par WebAssembly, tā darbības principiem, kā arī izmantošanu programmatūres izstrādē. Otrajā sadaļā tiks aprakstīts izveidotais projekts, kā arī salīdzināts tīmekļa lietotnes kods un veiktspēja pirms un pēc moduļu pārstrādes. Bakalaura darbs izklāstīts 20 lappusēs, ilustrēts ar 15 attēliem un 4 tabulām. Lit…

Stress response and expression patterns in wine fermentations of yeast genes induced at the diauxic shift

2000

During wine fermentation yeasts quickly reach a stationary phase, where cells are metabolically active by consuming sugars present in grape must. It is, consequently, of great interest at this stage to identify suitable gene promoters that may be used to induce the expression of genes with enological applications. With this aim, we have studied a group of genes showing an induction peak at the diauxic shift, and possessing stress response elements (STRE) at their promoters. We have determined their induction levels under individualized stress conditions, such as carbon source starvation or high salt concentrations. In all the cases studied, the activation and/or basal transcription are depe…
