The aim of the course is to develop students' understanding of the biological properties of plant products in the context of their practical use. Tasks: • To gain an understanding of the diversity of plant resources; • To develop knowledge about the biological basis of the use of various plant products; • To gain an understanding of the need to conserve plant resources in connection with their use for sustainable development; • To form a connection between various aspects of human life and certain plant state resources, understanding of the importance of plant products in culture and development of civilization. The aim will be achieved through an interdisciplinary approach - based on plant taxonomy, morphology, physiology and biochemistry, to link the functional diversity of plant resources with food science, pharmacology, cosmetology, perfumery, materials science, anthropology, etc. The acquired knowledge will be used in the development of practical work and will be strengthened

The aim of the practice is to acquire the professional skills and abilities of the physicist in a real professional activity in a suitable environment for practice purposes. The tasks of the practice are: 1. To get acquainted with the work organization in the specific workplace; 2. To train the ability to work in a team, performing team work; 3. To apply the skills acquired in studies in solving problems of modern physics in academic research, education or applied applications of physics; 4. To train problem solving skills, communication skills, IT skills; 5. To develop competence related to analytical and research skills, as well as ethical conduct. Practice takes place in companies, organizations and institutions with which the Faculty of Physics, Mathematics and Optometrics of the University of Latvia has a practice agreement. During the practice, students of the Bachelor's degree program in Physics have the opportunity to apply the acquired skills in studies of physics

The course provides theoretical knowledge and practical skills for the identification and analysis of natural capital and ecosystem services, as well as the application of the results of the identification and analysis in decision-making. The course provides an in-depth theoretical insight into the identification and planning of natural capital, ecosystem services and nature-based solutions. Through practical work, students learn methods for identifying and mapping ecosystem service potential, provision and demand, their integration into decision support systems and the development of future scenarios. The aim of the course is to provide knowledge and skills in the assessment and application of natural capital and ecosystem services in decision-making. The objectives of the course are to provide knowledge in the conceptual framework of natural capital, skills in ecosystem services identification and mapping, skills in the analysis of ecosystem services identification results

• to explain the relationship between Weber-Fechner law and absolute and just noticeable threshold;
• to learn how to measure absolute and just noticeable by using method of adjustment, constant stimuli and adaptive nonparametric methods;
• to acquire the basic ideas in signal detection method and its practical applications in optometry and vision science;
• to acquire skills and knowledge that are applicable in students’ bachelor paper.

The course provides an opportunity to study the basics of the international human rights law and the implementation of the international human rights standards in the Baltic States. At the beginning of the course there will be an introduction in the basics of international law and human rights law, models of interrelation between the national and international law in order to facilitate the better understanding of the course for those students who do not have a legal background. The course comprises the study of the international human rights protection system and the main United Nations human rights treaties. This is followed by the analysis of the human rights protection system established in Europe and its impact on the development of human rights in the Baltic States. The final part of the course is devoted to the comparative study of international human right standards in the Baltic States, the progress and problems identified in their implementation. Furthermore, the human

The aim of this course is to give the students a more advanced insight into the problems studied in combinatorics, than in a typical undergraduate course. The course does not include topics on branches of combinatorics which are investigated in other courses offered at the Faculty of Computing, University of Latvia: combinatorial optimization and graph theory (except for some graph counting problems). The course tasks are: to investigate advanced counting methods (Moebius inversion in problems related to partial orders, usage of rook numbers in problems which can be interpreted as rook placements on boards, some graph counting approaches), building and counting of de Bruijn cycles, to learn the main problems and results of combinatorial design theory having applications in coding theory, statistics, signal processing, quantum computing etc., particularly, those of block designs (including Steiner's and Kirkman's triple systems), finite geometries, difference sets, Hadamard matrices

The aim of the study course is to enhance students' understanding of landscape as a result of natural and human interaction, regarding the historical one, as well as current processes of landscape management and change in Latvia and Europe. Course tasks: to introduce to the etymology and semantics of landscape concept, landscape science development during the 20th century and the contexts of European Landscape Convention; to introduce to the main processes of landscape formation in relation to natural conditions and man-made spatial structures, as well as land use in Latvia; to discuss landscape change as one of the major topics in landscape research today (path dependency, landscape driving forces); to characterize historical and modern agricultural practices in landscapes; to analyze the nature of Latvia's landscape during various socio-political periods in Latvia, by developing awareness of the relationship between human activity and the landscape’s spatial structures, processes

The study work III is intended as a serious incorporation for the incorporation of the Bachelor's thesis, defining the aim and tasks of the research, developing the content of the work and the work itself. Aim of the course: according to the orientation and theme of the study program, acquiring or supplementing a statement on an important topic or problem, which in general would promote business or scientific contribution. Study tasks: To strengthen the knowledge, skills and competence of research work, as well as to improve work with literature sources or in-depth application of equipment or software, at the same time improving the language and technique of scientific articles, skills to independently search for information, process it and draw conclusions. The study work is aimed at the process by which the student independently obtains data, whether they receive them from institutions or publicly available sources, arranges them, researches them with qualitative and quantitative

The course objective is to enhance students' understanding and skills in analysing developemnt ideologies, practices and relations of power, situating development projects and strategies of Latvia in their underlying historical, global, socio-material and economic processes. The course tasks are explore what is a good life and the ways this question is addressed by various socio-economic practices in particular historical and spatial contexts; engage in the debate between two opposing approaches in anthropology of development: one highly critical of international development at a systemic level versus an applied perspective that seeks to use anthropological knowledge to make development projects more beneficial to the people involved; gain understanding of intricacies of power, ethnocentrism, wellbeing, global interdependencies and temporal frames of thinking about planetary future; analyse anthropological writings on development projects around the world, and specifically

Objective of the course: Enable students to acquire the basics of science teaching methodologies in line with the change of approach and results to be achieved in the field of science embedded in the national basic education standard and to contribute to the development of a teacher's work system that is conducive to achieving results.
