Environmental and Experimental Biology (EEB) is an international print/electronic peer-reviewed scientific journal published four times a year, owned by a non-profit-making government-funded university. Founded in 2003 as Acta Universitatis Latviensis ser. Biology, since 2010 EEB. The EEB publishes original articles, brief communications and reviews. Original research papers covering all aspects of modern biology are welcome. Young scientists, especially PhD students in biology, biomedicine, environmental sciences, agricultural sciences, forestry, biotechnology etc., are encouraged to submit their contributions. The journal is oriented towards broader understanding of biological problems through study of interactions between different groups of organisms in heterogeneous environmental conditions as well as betweenorganisms and the environment. Functional studies in different biological systems at all levels of organization, aimed to clarify unifying principles of genetical
ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROJECT (PERIOD 01.04.2024. - 30.06.2024.) A new series of yttrium oxyhydride (YHO) thin film samples was produced on glass substrates, varying the production temperature between room temperature and 400°C. It has been found that the substrate temperature significantly alters the optimal parameters, which ensure high-quality photochromic properties – such as high photochromic contrast and fast bleaching rate. Research is ongoing to determine whether the production temperature has a substantial effect on the photochromic properties at the optimal manufacturing parameters. Samples have undergone X-ray diffraction (XRD) and optical spectroscopy measurements (UV-Vis-NIR), as well as irradiation with a solar simulator to obtain quantitative values of the photochromic effect. Students from Riga State Gymnasium No. 1 have joined this activity to develop a scientific research project. On 7 May, an oral talk titled “Yttrium oxyhydride thin films: synthesis
that the development trajectory of reading exhibit two stages: the rapid development up to 12, and saturation region starting from 13 years of age. The maximal amount of captured information per unit of time, is limited by cognitive and motor processes. The stage of reading rapid development is limited by the capacity of word and meaningless word naming - number of grapheme per second. It is shown that the naming of a word is by 27% more efficient than meaningless word. The model of reading rate (grapheme per second) is acquired showing a relative impact of different parameters: TSLR = 0:06 * 1:26 * a + b + c-2.84 * 0.0048 * J*(a * b * c) -0.18; (R2 = 0.77), witha - recognition of word (grapheme/s); b – DEM (V) score (grapheme/s); DEM (H) score (grapheme/s); J - parameter of units of measurement correction. The coherent motion perception thresholds of 2,027 students show a large data scattering. There is a similar threshold linear decrease in all age groups from 7 till 18 - each year by 1%. Reading
publications for international organisations (OECD and others). To promote awareness of diaspora and migration issues in society. To provide intellectual support to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Latvia and other public person institutions and corporate enterprises in matters of diaspora and migration. Tasks To systematise information on diaspora and migration research, develop a network of researchers, maintain and expand it. To publish diaspora and migration research in international peer-reviewed publishers. To develop research directions, in which the UL has already got significant capacity and knowledge – diaspora history, education, identity, transnationalism and translocality, social memory, diaspora geography – and to develop new research directions. To build an intellectual base and support for students who want to address migration and diaspora-related topics. To offer lectures, lecture courses, guest lectures for academic study programmes
