Mitogenomic divergence between three pairs of putative geminate fishes from Panama
No full text© 2018, © 2017 The Author(s). Published by Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genomes of three pairs of congeneric peripheral fishes distributed on either side of the Isthmus of Panama in order to test their status as geminate species pairs. Our phylogenetic analysis did not support a sister relationship between Gobiomorus dormitor and G. maculatus and therefore they cannot be considered geminates. The average genetic distance of protein-coding genes between Sicydium altum and S. salvini was more than two times larger than between Atlantic and Pacific Awaous banana, suggesting different timings for their divergence across the Isthmus of Panama
Duc in Altum! Evangelization in "the Digital Age"
No full textSuvremeni mediji nisu samo (novo) sredstvo komunikacije, već su novi komunikacijski „prostor“ koji svakodnevno posjećuje i nastanjuje veliki broj ljudi. U tom virtualnom prostoru Crkva može susresti čovjeka i komunicirati s njim, a „digitalni kontinent“ izazov je Crkvi za novu evangelizaciju. Međutim, za evangelizaciju virtualnoga svijeta nije dovoljna primjena dosadašnjih načina i metoda pastoralnoga djelovanja. Potrebno je ponajprije uočiti promjene koje se s novim medijima događaju, upoznati čovjeka u kulturi digitalnoga doba jer upravo čovjek u tim prostorima doživljava značajne promjene. Zato autor, kao prvi korak evangelizacije ukazuje na neke karakteristike nove kulture, govori o novim kodeksima komuniciranja, o novoj dinamici koja se razvija između „sugovornika“, a sve to pomaže Crkvi da bolje upozna način razmišljanja i doživljavanja ljudi našega vremena. Posebnu pozornost treba posvetiti oblikovanju osobnoga identiteta, kao i društvenosti koje se oblikuju preko društvenih mreža. Evangelizacijom digitalnoga svijeta Crkva oplemenjuje i humanizira društvo, razvijajući autentičnu komunikaciju i unoseći vrjednote u komunikacijske prostore.Modern media are not only (new) means of communication, but also a new communication "space" that is each day visited and occupied by a large number of people. In this virtual space the Church can meet people and interact with them, and "the digital continent" presents the Church with a challenge for the new evangelization. However, the evangelization of the virtual world requires more than the application of existing methods of pastoral ministry. The first thing is to notice the changes that occur in connection with new media, to get to know a person in the digital culture, because it is in those areas that a person experiences significant changes. Therefore, the author as the first step of evangelization points to some characteristics of the new culture, he speaks about the new codes of communication and new dynamics that develops between "interlocutors". All this helps the Church to better understand the way people today think and experience others. Special attention should be paid to the shaping of personal identity as well as sociability which are formed through social networks. Through the evangelization of digital world the Church enriches and humanizes society by developing an authentic communication and bringing its values to the spaces of communication

Jezus – Ewangelizator [Ὁ Ἰησοῦς] κηρύσσων καὶ εὐαγγελιζόμενος τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ (Łk 8,1)
No full textThe article is the 19th of the series on Jesus Titles which had been published in „Goœæ Niedzielny” weekly magazine since 1994–1996. The previous ones were a popular presentation of the New Testament Christology whilst the 19s article is a scientifically approached summary of the series. It was specially written for the Commemoration Book dedicated to Petr Pokorný who is professor in biblistics at the Department of Protestant Theology at Charles University in Prague (the Czech Republic) to celebrate his 65th birthday in 1998. As the title Jesus – the Evangelizer has not been used in the Bible (althhough it is used even in the Church’s official documents) the author puts forward the question – Is the title „Jesus Evangelizer” rooted in the Bible and what are its contents? This title has appeared recently with the new evangelization. John Paul II made a postulate in TMA: To discover Jesus Christ again as the only Redeemer of the world. The basis for it is a pericope about a rejection of Jesus Christ in Nazareth (Luke 4,16–30). From the philological point of view basing on BH, LXX and NT the line leeds from the Hebrew term me baœer (RAB:M) throng a Greek substantial form o( eu)aggelizo/menoj (LXX,NT) to the corresponding form evangelizer in medival Latin and the derived from this form neologisms in modern languages, especially in Roman languages up to its presence in Polish theological literature. Polish spelling is „evangelizator” (ewangelizator) but it can not be found in any dictionary of Polish. The author looked for this title in contemporary translations of the Bible and found a term „G³osiciel Ewangelii” (he who preaches the Gospel) as the closest and the most appropriate one.Analysis of the texts in NT where o( eu)aggelizo/menoj refers to Jesus showed topos of the verb eu)aggeli/zein in the New Testament; philological and exegetical analysis of the texts have been carried out and showed evidence that Jesus was in the function of a subject. The word eu)aggeli/zw/eu)aggeli/- zein is present in 55 places in the New Testament and it is also used 9 times in the context which refers to Jesus’s activities: Matt 11,5; Luke 3,14; 4,18; 4,43; 7,22; 8,1; 9,6; 16,16; 20,1. It is used as participium 20 times in the New Testament only in medial and passive form.The author presents the results of his own research and gives the definition: What is the definition of Jesus – Evangelizer? The most accurate and the shortest answer can be found in Luke 8,1 summarium: I)hsou=j diodeu/wn kata\ po/lin kai\ kw/mhn, khru/sswn kai\ eu)aggelizo/menoj th\n basilei/an tou= Qeou= which means Jesus constantly on his way (diodeu/wn) through towns and villages, proclaiming (khru/sswn) Good News about the Kingdom of God which has already come. This is what He was sent for. He himself is the Gospel (Mark 1,1). Basing on the original Greek text it is justfied to use the title I)hsou=j o( eu)aggelizo/menoj (the evangelizing Jesus) which can be translated into Latin used by the Church as Jesus Evangelizans, so the contemporary version of the title is Jesus – the Evangelizer.

Project: Establishment of Ltd. "HANG IT UP"
No full textMaģistra darba mērķis ir izstrādāt finansiāli izdevīgu projektu izveidojot jaunu uzņēmumu vai arī attīstot jau strādājoša uzņēmuma darbību. Darba autors ir izvēlējies projekta izstrādes ietvaros dibināt uzņēmumu SIA “HANG IT UP”, kurš nodarbotos ar garderobes un mantu glabāšanas biznesu. Projekta ideja ir izveidot produktu, kas palīdzētu attīstīt garderobju un mantu glabātuvju nozari. Ierastās garderobes pilda tikai un vienīgi vienu funkcija – saņemt no klientiem virsdrēbes un vēlāk tās atgriezt atpakaļ, bet no šīs vienkāršās funkcijas ir iespējams iegūt arī papildus pievienotu vērtību. Īstenojot projekta ideju, tiktu izveidota aplikācija, kura tiktu izmantota ierasto garderobes numuriņu vietā, kas tiek izsniegti nododot virsdrēbes. Vispiemērotākā juridiskā forma uzņēmumam būtu sabiedrība ar ierobežotu atbildību, jo tas uzņēmuma dalībniekiem nodrošinātu ierobežotu atbildību, kā arī uzņēmumam nebūtu nepieciešams pārlieku liels pamatkapitāls, kā rezultātā būtu neefektīvi veidot akciju sabiedrību. Sākotnējais uzņēmuma pamatkapitāls ir plānots 2 800 EUR, kas nodrošinātu uzņēmuma kreditoru uzticību uzņēmumam un mazinātu kreditoru risku sadarboties ar uzņēmumu. Uzņēmuma nosaukums tiktu veidots pēc tā, lai tas spētu uzrunāt produkta patērētājus un tiem būtu skaidrs ar ko nodarbojas uzņēmums. Nosaukums kādu darba autors ir izvēlējies projekta idejai ir “HANG IT UP”. Uzņēmumam tā sākuma stadijā nebūs atsevišķas biroja telpas, jo uzņēmums pakalpojumu sniegs klientu telpās vai īrētajā zemes gabalā un uzņēmuma administrācijā būs tā valdes loceklis, tad darba autors ir nolēmis, ka administratīvos darbus būs iespējams veikt no dibinātāja dzīvesvietas un nebūs nepieciešams tērēt uzņēmuma naudas līdzekļus īres maksai. Uzņēmuma struktūras tiks veidota tā, lai uzņēmums maksimāli spētu ekonomēt naudas līdzekļus un uzņēmumam būtu pēc iespējas mazāk izdevumi. Uzņēmumā regulāri darbotos tikai viens darbinieks – valdes loceklis, kurš nodarbotos ar visiem administratīvajiem darbiem, datu analīzēm, mārketingu un arī ar klientu – gala patērētāju, apkalpošanu, kā arī uzņēmumā tiktu pieņemti papildus darbinieki atkarībā no tā, cik objektos vienlaicīgi uzņēmums darbotos. Viena objekta darbību nodrošinātu valdes loceklis, bet katra nākamā objekta darbības nodrošināšanai tiktu algots papildus darbinieks. Pārējo pakalpojumu saņemšanai, tādai kā programmatūras uzturēšana, tiktu izmantoti ārpakalpojumi. Lai projekts spētu uzsākt darbību, sākotnēji uzņēmumam būs nepieciešams piesaistīt ārējo finansējumu. Analizējot vairākas ārējā finansējuma piesaistes iespējas, darba autors secināja, ka uzņēmumam vispiemērotāk un visiespējamākais ārējais finansējums būtu no AFI ALTUM, izmantojot Starta aizdevuma programmu. Nozares izpētei darba autors izmantoja datus par ēdināšanas pakalpojumu un bāru darbības nozari, kā arī datus par festivāliem Latvijā, jeb par uzņēmuma produkta noieta tirgiem, jo nav pieejami nozares dati par garderobes darbību. Nozares attīstības tendences tika analizēThe aim of Master thesis is to develop financially beneficial project by establishing new enterprise or by developing already existing company’s work. The author has chosen the establishment of Ltd “HANG IT UP”, which will provide cote check and storage business. The idea of project is to establish a product which will help to develop coat check and storage industry. Most common coat checks are used only for one reason – to receive and give out a coats, but it is possible to add value to this process. Realizing the idea of project, company will establish the application which will be used to replace coat check tickets. Most appropriate legal form for company will be Limited company because will provide establishers with limited liabilities and company would not have necessary for too big equity, which results in that it would be inefficiency to establish join-stock company. At the start, the Author plans to create equity in amount of 2 800 EUR, which will make company more trustable to its creditors and will lower creditor’s risk to cooperate with company. Company’s name will be made to be able to reach consumers and it would be clear for them that company’s business is coat checking or similar. The Author has decided that name of company will be “HANG IT UP”. Starting the business company will not have office because company will provide its’ service in client’s place or in rented real estate and company will have only one administration employee – board member and the Authors has decided that all necessary administrative work will be possible to perform from the Authors’ place and it will not be necessary to spend money on rent. Organizational structure will be made to save as many money for company as possible and doesn’t occurs unnecessary expense. In company regularly will work one employee – board member which will provide all administrative work, data analyze, marketing and he will serve to consumers, additionally company will recruit employees which will serve to consumers when company will provide service in more than one object. To receive other services, for example, software maintenance, company will hire outsourcing companies. To realize the project and to start a business, company will have a need for external funding. After analyze of multiple external funding opportunities, the Author came to conclusion that most appropriate and most available external fund would be from AFI ALTUM, specifically – Starta aizdevuma program. For industry’s research the Author will use data about catering services and bar operation industry, as well, the Author will use data about festivals in Latvia, in other words, these industries are company’s sales industries. Company will use its’ sales industries research because data for coat check or storage industry are not available. The Author analyzed industry’s development tendencies in period from year 2011 until 2015. The Author made analyze of industry’s net turnover and found out that there w

Projekta mērķis ir antīko auto restaurācijas un remonta darbnīcas dibināšana, nodrošinot augstas kvalitātes restaurācijas darbus, kā arī atvērt antīko auto daļu tirdzniecības vietu Rīgā. Nākotnē uzņēmums plāno kļūt par atpazīstamu antīko automobiļu centru ne tikai Latvijā, bet arī Eiropā. Antīkas automašīnas ir ne vien dzīves stils, statusa apliecinājums, bet arī laba investīcija nākotnei, jo atšķirībā no parastajām automašīnām, šīs automašīnas pieaug vērtībā. Plānota uzņēmuma nosaukums „FamilyGarage” atspoguļo projekta ideju - katra automašīna kļūs par uzņēmuma ģimenes locekli un saņems visaugstākā līmeņa remonta vai restaurācijas pakalpojumus, kā arī nosaukums norāda uz to, ka uzņēmumu dibina ģimenes locekļi. Analizējot komercsabiedrības formas, darba autore secināja, ka uzņēmuma „FamilyGarage” komercdarbības forma būs sabiedrība ar ierobežoto atbildību. Uzņēmuma pamatkapitāls sastādīs 35700 eiro, kas sadalīts 3570 daļās, ko veidos gan naudas, gan mantiskie ieguldījumi. Uzņēmuma atrašanas vieta būs Rīgā, Austuves ielā. Telpas būs nomātas. Darbnīcas dibināšanai tiks iegādāti pamatlīdzekļi 23134 eiro vērtībā, pamatlīdzekļu saraksts darbnīcas darbībās laika tiks pastāvīgi papildināts. Uzņēmumā būs nodarbināti trīs cilvēki, viens valdes loceklis, kas koordinēs uzņēmuma darbību un nodarbosies ar marketinga aktivitātēm, un viņu pakļautība būs automehāniķis un metinātājs. Uzņēmums izmantos ārpakalpojumus grāmatvedības uzskaites nodrošināšanai. Uzņēmuma darbības uzsākšanai nepieciešams piesaistīt aizņemtos līdzekļus 15000 eiro apmērā. Kā iespējamos līdzekļu avotus darba autore uzskata kredītu AS „Attīstības finanšu institūcijas Altum” Starta programmas ietvaros, kā alternatīvu izskata bankas kredītu, līzingu un privāto investoru piesaisti. Uzņēmums nodarbosies auto nozarē. Uzņēmuma mērķauditorija ir personas, kas sasniegušas 18 gadu vecumu un saņēma vadītāja apliecību, kam pieder vecs automobilis.

Robinson Ridge Manual and Semi-Automated Vegetation Labels with UAV Orthomosaics
No full textProgress Code: completedStatement: During data collection, poor image quality in certain sections of the orthomosaic—caused by lighting conditions and snow—reduced the visual clarity necessary for reliable interpretation.
In the analysis stage, accurately identifying vegetation species was challenging due to suboptimal image resolution. Furthermore, the lack of sufficient ground truth data made it difficult to validate segmentation results and assess accuracy.<b>Purpose</b><br/>This dataset supports the development of machine learning models for vegetation segmentation in Antarctic ecosystems and enables reproducible remote sensing analyses by providing both imagery and associated ground-truth labels in standard GIS-compatible formatsThis dataset supports the development of machine learning models for vegetation segmentation in Antarctic ecosystems and enables reproducible remote sensing analyses by providing both imagery and associated ground-truth labels in standard GIS-compatible formats. <br/><br/>1. Ground Truth Labels This record contains manually and semi-automatically generated pixelwise shapefiles, used to annotate vegetation types with high confidence. This component contains both manually and semi-automatically generated pixel-wise shapefiles classifying four vegetation classes: Usnea spp., black lichen, moss, and non-vegetation. The purpose of these labels is to provide high-quality reference data for training and validating machine learning models for vegetation segmentation. <br/><br/>Manual labelling was conducted using ground truth points gathered during field campaigns. Polygons were drawn around confidently identified vegetation patches, focusing on central areas to minimise edge misclassification. (Files: .shp, .dbf, .prj, .shx, and readme.txt) <br/><br/>Semi-automatic labelling was introduced to address the limitations of manual annotation at a GSD of 2.93 cm/pixel. A suite of 28 vegetation indices (VIs) were evaluated, and three (MSAVI and GNDVI) were selected for their spectral separability between classes.

Orthomosaic The RGB and multispectral (MS) images captured by UAVs were processed into high-resolution orthomosaics using Agisoft Metashape 1.6.6 and georeferenced via QGIS 3.2.0. These orthomosaics serve as the base imagery for generating labels and training machine learning models. Output formats include .tif for orthomosaics, .ovr for overviews, and .pdf reports documenting the image processing steps. <br/><br/>Data Collection and Analysis Imagery was captured in January 2023 at Robinson Ridge, Antarctica, using a BMR3.9RTK UAV equipped with a MicaSense Altum sensor and Sony Alpha 5100 camera, flown at 70 m altitude (GSD ≈ 2.93 cm/pixel). Over 2,800 images were collected over ~5.15 ha. <br/><br/>Usage Notes · Embargoed files require permission for access. · Refer to the included readme.txt files in each record for file structure, formats, and usage instructions. · The dataset is optimised for developing and validating deep learning models for remote sensing classification in polar environments
