The purpose of this course is to acquaint students with one beautiful consequence of dynamical systems – fractal geometry. Fractal geometry studies “complicated” subsets of geometrically “simple” spaces such as R, R², C. In deterministic fractal geometry the focus is on those subsets of a space that are generated by simple geometrical transformations of the space into itself. A fractal set generally contains infinitely many points whose organization is so complicated that it is not possible to describe the set by specifying directly where each point in it lies. In this course we study some deterministic fractals, fractals in complex plane, we learn to identify fractal dimensions and we make pictures in programming package MATHEMATICA. Tasks of the course: to get acquainted with classical and determined fractals; to find out the most important properties of fractals; to get acquainted with the fractals of the complex plane. The study course is implemented in Latvian and English.

The study course provides practical knowledge on current issues in the investigation of violent crimes, which is relevant for investigative bodies. The course consists of lectures, practical classes and independent work, where students study the theory and establish practical investigative situations, develop algorithms, investigative plans and model situations, perform investigative actions. The course aims at providing a thorough knowledge of the criminal characteristics and investigative methodology of violent crimes. Building on previous knowledge, the course aims to develop practical skills in the classification, detection and investigation of violent crimes. Objectives: 1. to develop skills in the complex application of criminal law, criminal procedure, forensic tactics and methodology in the classification, detection and investigation of violent offences; 2. to facilitate the acquisition of the knowledge defined in the occupational standard of an investigator

The aim of the course is to introduce students into the system of political information of society, political communication and how information can promote maintaining and strengthening of democracy. The political communications process has been portrayed very differently in democratic societies. The media, through the information they convey to the mass public, serve as key guarantors of elite accountability and popular control of government in democracies, because a broadly and equitably informed citizenry helps assure a democracy that is both responsive and responsible. Two characteristics of democratic media systems are held to ensure that political information disseminated by the mass communications media serves to constrain, or check government power rather than magnify it. The first is that constitutional guarantees or conventions assure citizens of free access to political information. the second is that the media are protected from the arbitrary exercise of government power

The aim of the course is to provide theoretically based understanding of interest group formation and activities as well as their role in politics and policy-making. Tasks of the course include: to study relevant theoretical approaches and concepts (rational choice, corporatism and pluralism, civil society and social capital); to explore roles of interest groups in democracy and their relationship to issues of economic development; to acquire systematic understanding of current problems of interest representation; and, to study varieties of interest representation systems and to get deeper understanding of the most typical and relevant examples of these system (US, Nordic countries, EU, Central Europe, etc.). After the course students have to be familiar with current theoretical debates on interest group issues and they have to be able to apply theoretical approaches and concepts to empirical cases of interest representation. They also have to be able to analyse cases of interest

The purpose of the Master's thesis is to demonstrate the ability to apply theoretical knowledge, academic skills and abilities independently in accordance with the requirements of the Master's study programme. Master's thesis is an independent research work with original solution of a topical theoretical / practical problem under the guidance of a scientific supervisor. Tasks of Master's thesis: to summarize, systematize, deepen and consolidate the acquired theoretical knowledge and practical skills; to use empirical research methods in the research, according to the research question and / or hypothesis, and created research design; to process, analyze and interpret the obtained data. Theoretical generalizations are formulated in the Master's thesis, well-grounded proposals are formulated, hypotheses are raised and proved, correlations and regularities of factor influence are investigated, thus facilitating the student's learning to maintain problem solving motivation, creativity
