IT palīdzības dienestos pielietoto tehnoloģiju izpēte
2020
Bakalaura darbs sniedz ieskatu, kas ir palīdzības dienests un kāda ir tā loma. Tika apskatītas 6 dažādas (Jira Service Desk, Freshdesk, Zendesk, JitBit, Talkdesk, CloudTalk) pieteikumu reģistrācijas un zvanu platformas, ko izmanto palīdzības dienestos. Bakalaura sākuma daļā tika veikts īss ieskats, kas ir palīdzības dienests. Tika veikts platformu funkciju apraksts salīdzinātas to sniegtās iespējas. Pētījuma daļā tika aprakstītas platformas, ko izmanto kādā reālā palīdzības dienestā, veikts izpildījuma novērtējums un izdarīti secinājumi, vai nomainot izmantotās platformas uz jaunākajām uzlabotos palīdzības dienesta darbība. Bakalaura darba mērķis ir izpētīt kādas tehnoloģijas tiek izmantota…
Introducing Dialogic Teaching to Science Student Teachers
2011
It is commonly believed that science teachers rely on language that allows only minor flexibility when it comes to taking into account contrasting views and pupil thoughts. Too frequently science teachers either pose questions that target predefined answers or simply lecture through lessons, a major concern from a sociocultural perspective. This study reports the experiences of science student teachers when introduced to the Communicative Approach to science education drawing on dialogic teacher-talk in addition to authoritative teacher-talk. This approach was introduced to the students in an interventional teaching program running parallel to the student teachers’ field practice. The pract…
Novel triplet of flexor muscles in the posterior tentacles of the snail, Helix pomatia.
2012
The anatomy of three novel flexor muscles in the posterior tentacles of Helix pomatia is described. The muscles originate from the ventral side of the sensory pad and are anchored at different sites in the base of the tentacle stem. The muscles span the tentacle and always take the length of the stem which depends on the rate of tentacle protrusion indicating that the muscles are both contractile and extremely stretchable. The three anchoring points at the base of the stem determine three space axes along which the contraction of a muscle or the synchronous contraction of the muscles can move the tentacle in space.
DECORIN EFFECTS ON PROTEOMIC PROFILING OF BREAST CANCER CELLS: AN UPDATED STUDY
2015
The malignant carcinomas are characterized by several capabilities acquired by the neoplastic cells, among which the ability to invade the extracellular matrix (ECM) and to establish a crosstalk with several ECM components. Under this respect, the extracellular microenvironment is an entity extraordinarily rich of information with opposite signals. Our group has long undertaken the study of the effects of ECM molecules on the behavior of cancer cells in vitro. Among the studied molecules, the decorin was found to exert a non-permissive effect on the growth and motility of the transfected tumor cells. The decorin, belongs to the family of small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRP) and is involv…
Early life stress programming of NG2+ glia transcriptome alters functional properties of voltage gated sodium (Nav) channels and cognitive performance
2020
AbstractThe precise mechanisms underlying the detrimental effects of early life stress (ELS) on adult mental health remain still elusive. To date, most studies have exclusively targeted neuronal populations and not considered neuron-glia crosstalk as a crucially important element for the integrity of stress-related brain function. Here, we have investigated the impact of ELS on a glial subpopulation with unique properties in brain homeostasis, the NG2+ cells. ELS shifted the NG2+ transcriptome towards more mature stages, and these transcriptional effects were dependent on stress-induced glucocorticoids. The functional relevance of one candidate gene, Scn7a, could be confirmed by an increase…
Enabling Backoff and Eliminating Redundant Idle Period for Medium Access in LTE-U
2017
To address the burgeoning demand for mobile data, 3GPP is actively studying the capability of operating LTE in the unlicensed band, referred to as LTE-U. One of the main challenges of this approach is to maintain better coexistence between WiFi and LTE-U devices. To enable the coexistence, the listen before talk (LBT) principle has been adopted for LTE-U medium access with two flavors of mechanisms, i.e., load based equipment (LBE) and frame based equipment (FBE) access. In this paper, we consider the FBE mechanism and enhance its performance by introducing a backoff procedure for LTE devices. We investigate the original FBE mechanism defined by 3GPP and the enhanced FBE (E- FBE) mechanism fr…
Youth Political Talk in the Changing Media Environment : A Cross-National Typology
2021
While political communication scholarship has long underscored the importance of political talk—casual conversations about news and politics that occur in everyday situations—as a way for citizens to clarify their opinions and as a precursor for political engagement, much of this literature tends to depict political talk as uncomfortable and difficult for citizens. Yet, this focus on the challenging aspects of political talk has been informed predominantly by the US context. To what extent may a different picture emerge when looking across different cultural contexts? And how are these dynamics shaped by the affordances of the multi-platform social media environment? This paper explores th…
“An Unpleasant Book about Unpleasant Boys at an Unpleasant School”: Kipling’s Reshaping of the Victorian School Story in “Stalky & Co.”
2022
“Slaves of the Lamp, Part One”—the first tale of Rudyard Kipling’s Stalky & Co.—was published in 1897, forty years after the publication of Thomas Hughes’s Tom Brown’s Schooldays, a book that created a pattern followed by other practitioners of the school-story genre. The aim of the following paper is to discuss the ways in which Kipling challenged the established conventions of the Victorian school story. In contrast to his predecessors, Kipling did not set his tales in an old, established public school; he questioned the importance of sports and games in developing manly character; and refused to idolize the school traditions. His protagonists rebel against authority and do not follow…
Baltalkšņu Alnus incana ietekme uz dažāda granulometriskā sastāva augšņu īpašībām pamestās lauksaimniecības zemēs
2019
Latvijā aktuāla problēma ir lauksaimniecības zemju aizaugšana ar baltalksni Alnus incana (L.) Moench. Maģistra darba ietvaros ir pētīta baltalkšņu ietekme uz smilts un mālsmilts augsnēm. Darbs sastāv no 37 tabulām, 32 attēliem un 53 pielikumiem, kuros attainoti pētījumā iegūtie rezultāti. Pētījumu rezultātā tika pierādīts, ka 15 – 20 gadu laikā lauksaimniecības zemei apmežojoties ar baltalksni, Cambisols smilts augsnē būtiski palielinās slāpekļa, oglekļa un kālija saturs. 11-20 cm augsnes slānī būtiski ir palielinājies arī fosfora saturs Cambisols smilts augsnē. Phaeozems smagas mālsmilts augsnē slāpekļa, oglekļa un kālija saturs augsnē ir palielinājies, taču ne būtiski. Pētījumu rezultātā …
La violenza indicibile. l'aggressività femminile nelle relazioni interpersonali
2012
L’espressione della violenza nelle relazioni familiari è da alcuni anni oggetto di interesse in ambito sociologico, psicologico e giuridico. Le riflessioni teoriche e gli studi empirici sul tema hanno dato ampio spazio prevalentemente all’esercizio di violenza da parte dell’uomo lasciando sullo sfondo altre tipologie di relazioni disfunzionali ove la violenza viene invece perpetrata dalla donna. L'aggressività femminile è, invece, tutt'altro che rara, e se esiste un generale consenso sul fatto che gli uomini mostrino livelli più elevati di aggressione fisica rispetto alle donne, è pur vero che le differenze risultano essere piccole e moderate, evidenziando che anche le donne possono essere …
