Ingrīda Irbe (LU). DIEGA MEZGLS / THREAD KNOT Pirmā saskare ar mezglu man notika bērnībā, kad četru gadu vecumā pieteicos palīdzēt vecmāmiņai sasiet diegā mezglu. Tas nepavisam nebija viegli. Nekas man nesanāca. Tad parādījās vēl dažādi mezgli, kas man bija jāapgūst, – mezglu siešana kurpju šņorēs un lakatiņos, pionieru kaklautā u.tml.

of the project is to provide medical institutions with up-to-date information and technologies that would help reduce the risks of infection and reduce the workload of medical staff. Within the framework of the project, the ISSP UL carries out the fabrication of new antimicrobial coatings and research of physical properties. Viruses and bacteria can be killed with hypochlorite, peroxide or bleach solutions, or even soap and household cleaners. However, such methods are either difficult to apply, time-consuming and, most importantly, inefficient and short-lived. Another strategy is to cover surfaces with materials that either prevent pathogens from adhering or kill them in contact. Such surfaces are commonly referred to as antibacterial surfaces, but most of them are also active against viruses and other pathogens. Today, however, the introduction of such protective antibacterial coatings is limited. The reasons for this are cost, questions about their long-term effectiveness and the fact
