The Female Ideal of Leo Tolstoy of the 1860s and the Main Female Characters of the Novel “War and Peace”

Bakalaura darba tēma: Ļ. Tolstoja sieviešu ideāls 1860.gados un romāna-epopejas "Karš un miers" galvenās varones. Teorētiskais bāzes pamats tika balstīts pateicoties tādu slaveno rakstnieku darbiem kā V. B. Šlovska, T. A. Kuzminskaja, O. Barinova un citi. Pētījuma priekšmets ir Ļeva Tolstoja sieviešu ideāls, kas balstīts uz viņa literāro darbu. Darbs satur mūsu darbam svarīgu aspektu izpēti - L. N. Tolstoja biogrāfijas un radošuma posmu. Darba apjoms sastāv 46. lappuses, 20. literatūras un elektronisko resursu avotus,Theme of bachelor's work: The female ideal of Leo Tolstoy of the 1860s and the main characters of the epic novel “War and Peace”: The theoretical basis for the material was the work of such great writers and scientists as V. B. Shklovsky, T. A. Kuzminskaya, O. Barinova, and others. The subject of the study is the female ideal of Leo Tolstoy, based on his literary work. The work contains a study of important aspects of our work - a section of the biography and creativity of L. N. Tolstoy. Scope of work: 47 sheets, 20 literary and electronic resources

Proportion of biomass of different fish species per length class (cm) found in the gut of cormorants in Karlskrona archipelago (solid line) and Mönsterås archipelago (dashed line).

<p>Hatched vertical lines indicate the size at which respective fish species is recruited to human fisheries. Lines represent moving averages over three centimetres.</p

Estimated instantaneous mortality due to cormorant predation and yearly decrease of human catches in percent due to cormorant consumption on harvestable sized fish, and estimated indirect loss of harvestable sized fish through cormorants’ consumption on smaller individuals.

Anti-TLTF antibodies in sera and CSF determined by ELISA.

<p>(a). Concentrations obtained in anti-TLTF ELISA in serum samples of early stage (E, n = 25), intermediate stage (I, n = 25) and late stage (L, n = 24) patients. Differences between E, I and L are not significant from each other but are significant compared to the control (C) samples (p = 0.0002). (b). Concentrations of anti-TLTF in CSF samples of early stage (E, n = 20) patients, intermediate stage (I, n = 21) and late stage (L, n = 20) patients. Note the significant difference between intermediate and early stage (<i>P = 0.0005</i>) and between intermediate and late stage (<i>P<0.05</i>). The levels of TLTF in CSF are represented in (µg/ml). The horizontal hatched line marks the diagnostic cut-off value (2 µg/ml).</p

Effects of simvastatin and penicillin (PC-G) on pneumococcal growth.

<p>Bacteria was grown to midlogarithmic phase and diluted to OD 0.05. The suspension was co-incubated with simvastatin, DMSO (2.5%) and penicillin in a BioScreen instrument. Curve 1: positive control (<i>S. pneumoniae</i> strain T4) + PC-G (0.01 mg/ml). Curve 2: T4 + simvastatin (7.8 µg/ml) in DMSO (2.5%). Curve 3: T4 + PC-G (0.01 mg/ml) + DMSO (2.5%). Curve 4: T4 + PC-G (0.01 µg/ml) and simvastatin (7.8 µg/ml) in DMSO (2.5%). The experiment was performed 3 times in duplicates with similar results, a representative experiment is shown.</p

Effects of mevalonate (MEV) on bacterial killing by simvastatin.

<p>Different concentrations of mevalonate (0.6 mM–10 mM) were incubated with <i>S. pneumoniae</i> alone or together with simvastatin (15.6 µg/ml or 36 µmol/L) or with DMSO (2.5%). Mevalonate could not rescue the simvastatin mediated killing of pneumococci up to concentrations of 10 mM. The empty column designates the positive control (bacteria +buffer), gray columns: experiments with mevalonate (different concentrations) and the black column stands for 10 mM mevalonate +2.5% DMSO. The experiment was performed 3 times in triplicate with similar results, a representative experiment is shown +/- SEM.</p

Effects of DMSO and simvastatin on pneumococcal growth.

<p>Bacteria were grown to midlogarithmic phase and diluted to OD 0.05. The suspension was co-incubated with simvastatin and DMSO in a BioScreen instrument. Curve 1: positive control (<i>S. pneumoniae</i> strain T4). Curve 2: T4 + DMSO (2.5%). Curve 3: T4 + simvastatin at a low concentration below the MIC-value. Curve 4: T4 + simvastatin at MIC-concentration (15.6 µg/ml or 36 µmol/L). Arrows indicate when autolysis was initiated. The experiment was performed 5 times in duplicates with similar results, a representative experiment is shown.</p
