, supplement with World Bank data. In health, search Disease Prevention and Control Centre and Eurostat health statistics. For environmental studies, use Latvia Open Data Portal and Eurostat environmental data. For education research, focus on CSB, Eurostat, and OECD PISA data. Search for research data and publications in, for example, Zenodo and Figshare. How to Avoid Errors in Data Search Avoid typical mistakes: do not search only in Latvian in international sources, do not compare only one source, and do not download data without reading documentation. Always use English with "Latvia" or "Latvian," compare multiple sources, and familiarize yourself with the data collection process. If you cannot find the necessary data, expand search terms with synonyms or related fields. Search for similar studies and analyze what data they used. Consider combining data from multiple sources or contact field experts. How to Assess Data Quality Assess data source reliability - government statistical

Varis Karitāns (ISSP UL) speaks at scientific workshop of ISSP UL Doctoral School “Functional Materials and Nanotechnologies” on March 29 at 13:00, ISSPUL, Ķengaraga street 8, 2 nd floor hall. The phase problem is well known in optics, namely, retention of intensity information while acquiring an image, but loss of phase information, which, in turn, is very important in determining the structure of an object. Recently, various numerical methods have become popular that recover lost phase information by encoding an object with a small number of binary masks and recording the intensity measurements of such encoded objects. One of the most popular methods of this kind is the method of coded diffraction patterns, also known as PhaseLift. This method requires at least 6 masks to determine the phase of the object. This PhaseLift method for optical phase measurement is used in both the postdoctoral project and the IDAL commercialization project. Test objects and masks are created using
