the limit for what is possible to analyse digitally on a crime scene, such as the age of latent fingerprints, the age of blood traces and analysis of low concentrations of drugs. The specific objectives of the project mirror the central needs of the National forensic centre (NFC), with the purpose of quicker turnaround times and more efficient use of NFCs resources. The most promising venue has so far been to determine the age of blood traces by utilizing the fact that biomolecules found in blood fields a strong age dependence. Four different enzymes (ALT, LDH, CK, AST) were investigated in terms of age and activity by letting blood serum with the added enzymes dry for a period time and further examined with an absorbance plate reader and activity assay kits. It was clear from the results that all enzymes, except for AST, showed a decrease in activity which can be correlated to time of deposition – AST was inconclusive. A suitable path forward is therefore to utilize biomarkers to bind
to Siberia in 1949. She mentioned that she had a photo of their deportation and, as in all my interviews, I told her that it would be best to look at the photo albums afterwards; when we had covered the family story and I had gained the context to fully appreciate and understand the images in the family albums. Knowing that photographs of the moment of deportation are practically non-existent, I thought to myself that she wanted to show me photos of the family before deportation or in Siberia. I could not have imagined that the photograph would be of the actual moment!” After studying the fate of the people in the photograph, experts at the Museum of the Occupation of Latvia concluded that “In the foreground, in front of the train wagons, the Kroj family can be seen; Marta and Vilis, as well as their daughters Valija and Maiga. The third daughter, Rasma, is not in the image as she was placed in another wagon, because she had been taken from the city of Ventspils. The fourth daughter, Olga
of the research, doctoral student Alexander Platonenko from ISSP UL, says that “the results of the research can be used in various fields where materials come into contact with radiation- nuclear medicine (PET tomography), space industry. The study was carried out as part of the EURO fusion project, in which scientists from all over the world are working to build the next-generation fusion reactor. The new type of reactor will be able to obtain an infinite amount of energy and practically free of charge. ISSP UL scientists are thus involved in world-class scientific projects. ” Maris Balodis, Director of Latvenergo's Research and Development Function, emphasizes that “in large-scale energy it is very important to achieve higher efficiency indicators in turbines and power plants, thus various measures are being taken to improve them. It is known from physics that we can achieve higher efficiency by achieving higher temperatures in these heat engines. ” M. Balodis is also pleased that Latvian
with an exhibition of the winning photographs in Brussels, Belgium, on April 15-19, 2024. A flash-mob, Ode to Joy, to celebrate Europe Day on May 9 will unite people in seven partner countries and will be streamed online in the Project’s communication channels. The Project also aims to develop and pilot a lifelong learning open course on intercultural communication. To support the participation of university students and employees in different non-formal art and culture education programmes, a memorandum of cooperation among the partner universities will be signed in May, laying a foundation for a Network of European universities, university culture centres and student unions. The peak event of 2024 will be the screening of a documentary produced by VERY Films. The film will focus on the changes in the culture scene in the past 20 years and the importance of nurturing cultural diversity in Europe. All Project events will involve students, academic staff, cultural and political stakeholders, as well
resources and examples of good practice. During the visit, the results of the study and the main conclusions on the "Consequences of Covid-19 restrictions on spa therapy in Europe" were presented.

interdisciplinary scientific and cooperational virtual institution where PhD students participate from philology, philosophy, linguistics, history, pedagogy, theology and law science studies. To make LETTONICA competitive and attractive to other scientific branches specialists from Lettonica are involved, as well as the most visible sub-field specialists from research institutes and universities in Latvia and abroad. In doctoral school along with the possibility to listen lecturers from various disciplines of humanities regularly are managed scientific seminars where PhD students present parts of their doctoral thesis. In addition there are opportunity to participate in interdisciplinary field research in Latvia and abroad. Represented study programs: Philology Linguistics History Philosophy Law Science Theology and Religion Science Pedagogy Research directions: Interdisciplinary research and education in doctoral studies: opportunities for dialogue; Verbal and non
