Līnijveida infrastruktūras objektu izvietojuma un būvniecības tiesiskie aspekti
2021
Latvijā tiek realizēti vairāki liela mēroga līnijveida infrastruktūras objektu projekti, kuri ir nozīmīgi Latvijas tautsaimniecības un ekonomikas attīstībā. Pētījuma mērķis ir izpētīt šāda veida objektu būvniecības tiesiskos aspektus, tiesisko regulējumu nekustamā īpašuma iegūšanai šādu objektu izvietošanai, kā arī vides tiesību nozīmi šādu projektu realizācijā. Iegūtie rezultāti norāda uz atsevišķiem trūkumiem pašreizējā tiesiskajā regulējumā. Pētījumā sniegti priekšlikumi par nepieciešamajiem grozījumiem tiesību aktos.
Physical activity and aerobic fitness show different associations with brain processes underlying anticipatory selective visuospatial attention in ad…
2021
ABSTRACTUnderlying brain processes of exercise-related benefits on executive functions and the specific contribution of physical activity vs. aerobic fitness are poorly understood, especially during adolescence. We explored whether and how physical activity and aerobic fitness are associated with selective attention and the oscillatory dynamics induced by an anticipatory spatial cue. Further, we studied whether the link between physical exercise level and cognitive control in adolescents is mediated by the task-related oscillatory activity. Magnetoencephalographic alpha oscillations during a modified Posner’s cueing paradigm were measured in 59 adolescents (37 females and 22 males, 12 to 17…
Aizskartais mantas īpašnieks kriminālprocesā Latvijā
2020
Latvijas kriminālprocesuālajās tiesībās 2009. gada 1. jūlijā tika pieņemti kārtējie grozījumi kriminālprocesa jomā un likums tika papildināts ar jaunu kriminālprocesa dalībnieku – “aizskartais mantas īpašnieks”. Aizskartais mantas īpašnieks kriminālprocesā ir dalībnieks, kura manta var tikt ierobežota kriminālprocesa ietvaros. Kriminālprocesa likuma grozījumu rezultātā tika paredzēta trešo personu tiesību uz mantu ierobežošana kriminālprocesa ietvaros, nosakot šīm personām atsevišķu procesuālu statusu un tiesības savu likumīgo interešu aizsardzībai. Aizskartais mantas īpašnieks kriminālprocesā netiek atzīts nedz kā aizdomās turētais, nedz apsūdzētais, un šai personai netiek piešķirtas daudz…
The role of physical activity in the link between menopausal status and mental well-being
2020
OBJECTIVE To examine the relationship between menopausal status and mental well-being, and whether this relationship varies as a function of physical activity (PA). METHODS Based on a hormonal analysis and bleeding diary, women aged 47 to 55 were categorized as pre (n = 304), early peri (n = 198), late peri (n = 209), or postmenopausal (n = 387). Mental well-being was assessed using the Centre for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, the International Positive and Negative Affect Schedule Short Form, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale. PA was self-reported and categorized as low, medium, and high. Associations between variables were analyzed using multivariate linear regression adjuste…
Mathematics Skills of Kosovar Primary School Children: A Special View on Children with Mathematical Learning Difficulties
2018
The present study examined the development of mathematics skills of Kosovar primary school children in terms of their gender, living area, socio-economic status, and achievement level. A special emphasis was placed on longitudinal investigations of the development of mathemat-ics skills in children with learning difficulties in mathematics over a 2-year and 4-month period. Participants were 553 fourth-graders, 85 of whom identified with mathematical learning difficulties were classified into two subgroups: children with low mathematics achievement and children with limited mathematics ability. Results have shown that there were no gender differences in mathematics achievement. Children’s li…
The power of status: What determines one's reactions to anger in a social situation?
2017
Abstract The present study examined how social status and gender determine anger expression and behavioral reactions toward experienced anger. In two experiments, anger was induced in a staged social interaction. Behavioral anger reactions were judged by observers. In Experiment 1 ( equal status condition ; N = 110) participants were provoked by a confederate, in Experiment 2 ( low status condition ; N = 116) participants were provoked by the experimenter. We found that participants expressed their anger to a lesser extent, were less resistant, and engaged in submissive behaviors if they had a lower status than the anger-target. As expected, gender had a moderating effect: While women's a…
Life satisfaction and status among adolescent law offenders
2015
Background Life satisfaction among young offenders may be affected by the subjective experience of their social status and by the feeling of being a ‘loser’ compared with others, but it is not clear what variables affect such experiences in this group. Aims To examine relationships of type of sentence (prison or probation) and of gender with subjective social status, sense of defeat and life satisfaction among young offenders. Methods One hundred and five participants were randomly selected from a cohort of young offenders, stratifying for sentence type and for gender. They were interviewed by trained and experienced interviewers. Results Young people in a correctional facility experienced …
Preprinting is positively associated with early career researcher status in ecology and evolution.
2021
Abstract The usage of preprint servers in ecology and evolution is increasing, allowing research to be rapidly disseminated and available through open access at no cost. Early Career Researchers (ECRs) often have limited experience with the peer review process, which can be challenging when trying to build publication records and demonstrate research ability for funding opportunities, scholarships, grants, or faculty positions. ECRs face different challenges relative to researchers with permanent positions and established research programs. These challenges might also vary according to institution size and country, which are factors associated with the availability of funding for open acces…
Emotional correlates of body weight: The moderating effects of gender and family income
2011
Abstract This study explored emotional correlates of relative body weight in a sample of 187 male and 269 female college students. The contribution of relative body weight, gender, family income and their interactions to variables related to anxiety and anger were evaluated by multiple regression procedures. Relative body weight was positively related to trait anxiety, especially among those with lower family incomes. Increased body weight was also related to trait anger and an anger-out expression style, but only among men. These results suggest that gender and family income moderate the contribution of relative body weight to anxiety and anger, both central aspects of a 'disease-prone per…
Neighborhood Characteristics, Alcohol Outlet Density, and Alcohol-Related Calls-for-Service: A Spatiotemporal Analysis in a Wet Drinking Country
2017
Alcohol outlets have been associated with different social problems, such as crime, violence, intimate partner violence, and child maltreatment. The spatial analysis of neighborhood availability of alcohol outlets is key for better understanding of these influences. Most studies on the spatial distribution of alcohol outlets in the community have been conducted in U.S. cities, but few studies have assessed this spatial distribution in other countries where the drinking culture may differ. The aim of this study was to analyze the spatiotemporal distribution of alcohol outlets in the city of Valencia, Spain, and its relationship with neighborhood-level characteristics, as well as to examine t…
