The loss of photoreceptors is a major course for visual impairment and blindness with no cure currently established. Photoreceptor replacement into mouse models of retinal degeneration is currently investigated as a potential future therapy. To evaluate visual function in mice before and after treatment two vision-based behavioral tests (optomotor tracking and the light/dark box) were investigated including their feasibility to distinguish between rod and cone photoreceptor function. Both methods turned out to be an objective and reliable readout for vision ability in wildtype mice and mice with vision impairment due to retinal degeneration. The capability of the methods to assess slight vision improvements have to be further evaluated.
Therefore options for improvement of the established tests and an idea for a new test paradigm have been introduced.
This thesis was written in order to prove the expediency of startup ecosystem support and to develop practical recommendations for Belarusian government based on the analysis of successful practices in the U.S. and Lithuania.
It covers the essence of a “startup company” and a “startup ecosystem” as well as provides the analysis of socioeconomic impact of startup companies with particular focus on job creation. It sheds light on the best startup support policies in the U.S., where most prominent startup ecosystems are operating, and Lithuania as a country with similar to Belarusian preconditions and a rapidly
developing ecosystem. Furthermore, this paper deals with Belarus‘s peculiarities regarding fostering startup ecosystem growth. It assesses recent economic development of Belarusian IT sector and gives an insight into its competitive advantages and challenges.
The subsequent paper is based on internet research using articles, presentations, reports and studies, websites and official legal documents.
The design of an interview model based on competencies arises from the need to have highly qualified people that contribute to the achievement of organizational objectives. It intendes to shape the department of human resources into a strategic area of the company. To achieve this, organizational competencies are defined, and guidelines for the elaboration of a portfolio of questions, as well as the design of a competency dictionary, are established. These serve as tools for the human resources processes of the company Visbal Moreno y Sucesores Ltd. Through this work, the importance of the human factor is exposed as part of the organizational strategy.
Genetic sex determination of ancient DNA samples based on one simple mathematical algorithm, which considers the number of mapped reads on autosomal, X, and Y chromosomes. The algorithm is implemented in one command line tool - SiD. SiD is used to deter-mine the sex of 16 samples, which have been shotgun sequenced and captured with a 1240k panel.
