    Bakalaura darbs „Budisma ietekme uz Šaoliņ cīņas mākslu” ir veltīts leģendārā Šaoliņ klostera cīņas mākslas rašanās un attīstības vēstures apskatam, ar mērķi noskaidrot kāda ir bijusi budisma mācības ietekme uz Šaoliņ klosteri un tajā praktizēto cīņas mākslu un kādu lomu budisms ieņem tās attīstības vēsturē. Jau no seniem laikiem un līdz pat mūsdienām Šaoliņ cīņas māksla ieņem svarīgu lomu daudzu citu cīņas mākslu vidū, jo ļoti liela daļa no tām ir veidojušās uz Šaoliņ cīņas mākslas bāzes. Šaoliņ klosteris ir svarīgs kultūrvēsturisks objekts, kurā tradicionāli ir tikusi praktizēta budisma mācība, līdz ar to Šaoliņ cīņas māksla ir veidojusies un attīstījusies budisma mācības vidē un iespaidā. Mūsdienās Šaoliņ klosteris ir kļuvis par peļņas avotu. Klosteris atrodas Henaņ provincē, kas ir iedzīvotājiem bagāta, taču ekonomiskajā ziņā ir nabadzīga. Tāpēc ienākumi, kas nāk no ievērojamajām tūristu masām, kas apmeklē klosteri, ir ļoti vēlami. Ja agrāk Šaoliņ cīņas mākslu varēja apgūt tikai klosterī, tad tagad visā pasaulē ir daudzi mācību centri, kas māca Šaoliņ cīņas mākslas daudzos stilus. Darbs ir sadalīts četrās daļās. Pirmā daļa pievēršas budisma ienākšanai Ķīnā un aplūko galvenās personas, kas ir saistītas ar šo procesu, otrā aplūko Šaolin klosteri kā vēsturiski nozīmīgu objektu- tā atrašanās vietu, telpu raksturojumu, trešā daļa veltīta Šaolin cīņas mākslas raksturojumam, sniedzot padziļinātu ieskatu arī cīņas mākslas mērķos un filozofijā. Šīs trīs daļas sniedz priekšstatu par budisma un Šaolin cīņas mākslas rašanos, attīstību un mijiedarbību savā starpā, un budisma mācības ietekmi un Šaolin vušu rašanos. Ceturtā daļa ir veltīta Šaolin klostera morālo vērtību kodeksa analīzei un sasaistei ar budisma mācības galvenajām atziņām, tādējādi pierādot , ka budisms ir atstājis neizdzēšanu iespaidu ne tikai uz cīņas mākslas rašanos un attīstību, bet arī uz tās filozofiju. Darba beigās ir pielikumi attēlu veidā.The Bachelor paper „ The Buddhism influence on Shaolin martial art” is dedicated to the review of the legendary Shaolin monastery martial art origin and development history. The aim of this Bachelor paper is to find out how the Buddhism teachings have influenced on the Shaolin monastery and its martial art, as well how the Buddhism affected its development. From ancient times till nowadays Shaolin martial art has been a very important factor in development of other martial arts because many of them are based on principals of Shaolin martial art. Shaolin monastery is an important historic monument, in which traditionally the Buddhism is practiced, therefore Shaolin martial art has developed in the environment of the Buddhism. Nowadays the Shaolin monastery has been used for getting profit. The monastery is located in Henan region, which is rich in population, but economically very poor. Therefore the received profit from tourists visits, is very desirable. In past people was abled to acquire Shaolin martial art only in the monastery, but nowadays all around the world there are a lot of training centres, where it is possible to learn different styles of Shaolin martial art. This work is divided in four parts. In the first part it is showed how the Buddhism came to China and who were those persons that influenced it. In the second part, the author of the Batchelor paper looks closier at the fact that the Shaolin monastery is a historically important place- its locality and characterization of rooms. The third part is dedicated to characterization of Shaolin martial art, giving a chance to look deeper in its aims and philosophy. These three parts give the main concept of the Buddhism and Shaolin martial art history, origin, development, interaction with each other and the Buddhism influence on origin of Shaolin wushu. The fourth part is dedicated to the analysis of moral values of the Shaolin monastery code and its connection to main ideas of the Buddhism teaching, hence proving that the Buddhism has left an indelible impression not only on martial art origin and development, but also on its philosophy. At the end of this work are appositions at the form of images

    Different functional characteristics can explain different dimensions of plant invasion success

    No full text
    1. The success of invasive plant species can be evaluated using different dimensions, such as, range size, abundance, and impact. These different dimensions do not always covary but are rarely separated, suggesting an urgency to disentangle the functional mechanisms behind them. 2. A dataset of leaf traits and four dimensions of invasion success (i.e., range size, local abundance, impact on native plant abundance, and impact on native plant diversity) were compiled for 395 non-native plant species in the US and Europe. Associations among dimensions of invasion success and between leaf traits and dimensions were analyzed with general linear models (LMs) and supplemented by phylogenetic generalized least square (PGLS) models, which control for the phylogenetic relatedness across species. 3. The pair-wise associations between most pairs of invasion dimensions were weak or neutral. The only exception was the association between impact on native plant abundance and impact on native plant diversity, which was strongly positive. Traits of species that have large range sizes were associated with a high metabolic rate; whereas, traits of species that were abundant or had a strong impact at the local scale were associated with low metabolic rate. In addition, traits of species with a large range size or having strong impacts on native plant abundance were associated with acquisitive strategies; whereas, traits of species with a high local abundance or strong impacts on native plant diversity were associated with conservative strategies. 4. Synthesis: Different dimensions of invasion success were associated with different functional traits. Invasion success at the regional scale was related to traits that promote rapid colonization; whereas, invasion success at the local scale was related to traits that are potentially less preferred by herbivores. Some locally successful invaders even possessed traits that facilitate a high stress tolerance and conservative strategy, which were similar to locally abundant native species. Therefore, an ambiguous definition of “invasion success” in mechanism-related studies may produce inconsistent or even controversial conclusions, highlighting the importance of separately studying different dimensions of invasion success

    Conservation materials for the Pagoda Forest in the Shaolin Temple, Henan, China

    No full text
    The Pagoda Forest in the Shaolin Temple, Henan, is the largest cluster of ancient tomb pagodas still existing in China. Ninety percent of the structures in the Pagoda Forest are made of bricks, and salt efflorescence has occurred on many of them as a result of natural environment and the intrinsic properties of the material used to make the bricks. To suppress the efflorescence as well as to increase the strength of the disintegrating structures, tests have been conducted on a number of selected consolidants and waterproofing materials that could be used for conserving the Pagoda Forest. After spray-coating the brick samples with the waterproofing materials, various tests including the change in appearance, contact angle, rate of capillary absorption of water, water absorption by total immersion, freeze-thaw resistance, acid resistance and resistance to aging were carried out to find out which materials performed best. Site tests were then conducted on a small area of the Pagoda Forest to select the most appropriate treatment.http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000346156600077&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=8e1609b174ce4e31116a60747a720701ArchaeologyArtChemistry, AppliedChemistry, AnalyticalSpectroscopyA&HCISCI(E)EICPCI-S(ISTP)CPCI-SSH(ISSHP)

    Terminal perturbation method for the backward approach to continuous time mean–variance portfolio selection

    No full text
    AbstractA terminal perturbation method is introduced to study the backward approach to continuous time mean–variance portfolio selection with bankruptcy prohibition in a complete market model. Using Ekeland’s variational principle, we obtain a necessary condition, i.e. the stochastic maximum principle, which the optimal terminal wealth satisfies. This method can deal with nonlinear wealth equation with bankruptcy prohibition and several examples are given to show applications of our results
