Kano Jigoro Methods of Learning Judo as a way to Self-perfection

Bakalaura darba tēma ir “Kano Džigoro džudo apgūšanas metodes kā ceļš uz pašpilnveidošanos” galvenais uzdevums ir atspoguļot īpatnības Kano Džigoro džudo apgūšanas metodēs un parādīt, ka džudo pamatā ir pašpilnveidošanās ceļš, kas stiprina cilvēka prātu un ķermeni. Japāņu tradicionālā cīņas māksla un viens no budō veidiem džudo ir labi zināma visā pasaulē, un tas ir iekļauts moderno olimpisko spēļu disciplīnu sarakstā. Burtiski tulkojot, džudo nozīmē „maiguma ceļš”. Pateicoties starptautiskajai popularitātei, džudo var apgūt arī Rietumu valstīs. Mūsdienās tas tiek mācīts daudzās Japānas skolās, universitātēs un dažādu iestāžu pulciņos. Kano Džigoro iedibinātie principi un mērķi džudo apgūšanā nav ierobežoti tikai tehnikas un spēka attīstībā, tas ir dziļš pašattīstības process, kas palīdz veidot cilvēka raksturu. Darbā ir analītiski izpētītas meistara metodiskās pieejas džudo apgūšanā, kuras veidotas tiešā saistībā ar cēloņiem, kas mudināja Kano Džigoro radīt džudo. Ir arī sniegts ieskats džudo apgūšanas procesā saskaņā Kano Džigoro metodēm un principiem. Darba pamatteksta kopējais apjoms ir 40 lapas.The main aim of the Bachelor thesis “Kano Jigoro’s methods of learning Judo as a way to self-perfection” is to reflect the specific methods created by Kano Jigoro in a process of mastering Judo and to prove that a way to self-perfection is the basic principle in Judo which strengthens a human being’s mind and body. A Japanese traditional martial art and one of the budō, judo is well known all over the world and is included in the list of the modern Olympic Games. Literally, Judo means “the way of gentleness”. Nowadays, Judo is taught in many Japanese schools, universities and various institutions like sport clubs and circles. Due to international popularity, Judo can be learned in Western countries. Kano Jigoro’s established principles and objectives of learning Judo are not limited only with development of techniques and physical power, but it is also a deep self-development process that helps to build up a good character. The thesis shows analytic research on Kano Jigoro’s Judo teaching methodological approaches, which are directly connected with the Master’s reasons for creating Judo. There is also an overview of the Judo learning process in accordance with Kano Jigoro’s methods and principles. The total length of the main text is 40 pages

Mutual diffusion occurring at the interface between La0.6Sr0.4Co0.8Fe0.2O3 cathode and Gd-doped ceria electrolyte during IT-SOFC cell preparation

The microstructure and local chemistry of the interface between the screen-printed La0.6Sr0.4Co0.8Fe0.2O3 (LSCF) thin film cathode and Gd-doped ceria (GDC) electrolyte substrate have been investigated. Elemental distribution analyses, by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy operated in scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) mode, illustrate that all constituent elements in GDC and LSCF mutually diffuse across the LSCF/GDC interface, with equal diffusion length. This leads to the formation of mutual diffusion zones at the LSCF/GDC interfaces, with the resultant mixture of diffusing ions being associated with specific valence state changes, as verified by STEM electron energy loss spectroscopy analyses. Moreover, this mutual diffusion can result in microstructural changes, where superstructure formation is accompanied by enhancement of oxygen vacancy ordering at this region. Such mutual diffusion and associated microstructure evolution is considered to be detrimental to fuel cell efficiency and should be suppressed by lowering cell fabrication temperatures

FungalTraits : a user-friendly traits database of fungi and fungus-like stramenopiles

The cryptic lifestyle of most fungi necessitates molecular identification of the guild in environmental studies. Over the past decades, rapid development and affordability of molecular tools have tremendously improved insights of the fungal diversity in all ecosystems and habitats. Yet, in spite of the progress of molecular methods, knowledge about functional properties of the fungal taxa is vague and interpretation of environmental studies in an ecologically meaningful manner remains challenging. In order to facilitate functional assignments and ecological interpretation of environmental studies we introduce a user friendly traits and character database FungalTraits operating at genus and species hypothesis levels. Combining the information from previous efforts such as FUNGuild and FunFun together with involvement of expert knowledge, we reannotated 10,210 and 151 fungal and Stramenopila genera, respectively. This resulted in a stand-alone spreadsheet dataset covering 17 lifestyle related traits of fungal and Stramenopila genera, designed for rapid functional assignments of environmental studies. In order to assign the trait states to fungal species hypotheses, the scientific community of experts manually categorised and assigned available trait information to 697,413 fungal ITS sequences. On the basis of those sequences we were able to summarise trait and host information into 92,623 fungal species hypotheses at 1% dissimilarity threshold.Supplementary Information: Fig. S1.
