Mindful–based methods are used in CLBP rehabilitation, improving emotion regulation skills (ERS) and decreasing pain, including a newly developed intervention Mindful-Based Dance Movement Therapy (MBDMT). Objective: to determine whether the 10x MBDMT in a group improves ERS and reduces pain for CLBP patients. Material and methods: randomized controlled trial N=34; experimental group (n = 13, MBDMT twice a week, 10x, 1,5h): age M=44.23, SD=8,61; male n=1, female n=12; control group (n=21, without MBDMT): age M=42.62, SD=10.35; male n=3, female n=18. Inclusion: low back pain intensity at least 1 (NRS) >3 months; age 25–65 years; ERSQ-27 total <4; spondylosis; lumbosacral disc disorders. Exclusion: acute/subacute pain; cancer; trauma; pregnancy; dance therapy contraindications. Instruments: Emotion Regulation Skills Questionnaire- ERSQ-27; Pain Numeric Rating Scale-NRS; sociodemographic questionnaire. Measurements: ERS with ERSQ-27 for both groups before/after the intervention; pain with NRS for both groups twice a week during the intervention. Results: higher ERS index in the experimental group, compared to the control group (U=55.00, p=0.003) after MBDMT. A decrease in pain intensity for the experimental group (T=-1.98, p=0.048). Copyright © by the Latvian Academy of Sport Education in Riga, Latvia 4 | Valbega-Porozova et al.: MAINDFUL-BASED DANCE... Conclusion: there are tendencies for MBDMT to improve ERS and decrease pain in CLBP patients, also there is a need for a larger research group for more significant results. Keywords: emotion regulation skills; chronic low back pain; mindfulness; dance movement therapy. Introduction CLBP is one of the major leading causes for long-term disability for the male and female population in 195 countries, including Latvia (GBD 2017 Disease and Injury Incidence and Prevalence Collaborators, 2018). In recent years there is growing evidence and recommendations for mindful- based methods in CLBP rehabilitation (Qaseem et al., 2017), as well as for the biopsychosocial approach to address nonspecific CLBP patients (Foster et al., 2018). Mindful-based methods for chronic conditions have become more and more popular in the rehabilitation setting during the last years, and there is growing evidence for the mindful-based

In early 2018, a new operational strategy for the years 2018-2021 was approved, defining key priorities for the service quality, availability and setting economically justified prices The most significant event in the energy sector was the agreement between the Finnish, Estonian and Latvian regulators on the creation of a single natural gas market, which is planned to be launched in 2020. This will mean that a single entry-exit tariff zone will be applied in the future, namely, only the tariffs on the external border of the unified zone will be applied for transporting natural gas through the systems of these countries but no transmission tariff will be applied at cross-border points between Latvia, Estonia and Finland. Last year, the Regulator also approved new natural gas distribution system service tariffs.

  • Explore Valka Municipality!
    EXPLORE VALKA MUNICIPALITY! The municipality of Valka is located in the north-east of Latvia, on the Estonian border. The municipality is often called “Latvia’s Nord Gate”. There are five parishes and one city in the municipality of Valka. The city of Valka is the centre of the municipality; it is located on the border, so it is called the city where Latvia starts. The Estonian city of Valga is located nearby. When you are in Valka- Valga, you are in two countries at the same time. The national highway and tourism routes run through Valka municipality. In this area you can see unique heritage objects, and can camp or stay at guesthouses. Valka is 157 kilometres from Riga, the capital city of Latvia, and 88 kilometres from the Estonian city of Tartu. You need a passport in order to cross the border. It is a good idea to book before visiting these points of interest! 1 Valka Local History Museum Rīgas Street 64, Valka, ph. +371 64722198, [email protected] 57° 46’ 5” 26° 0’ 23” Jānis Cimze started the first seminary for Vidzeme parish schoolteachers at the 19th century, on the site where the museum now is. Many famous figures of Latvian and Estonian culture and education were educated at this seminary. Due to the museum’s historical location, it seeks to popularize the work of Jānis Cimze, who was a pedagogue and a founder of the Latvian choir singing culture, as well as that of his pupils. It also aims to promote public interest and knowledge concerning the historical events that have taken place in Valka County.

  • Manual on Removing Obstacles to Cross-Border
    MANUAL ON REMOVING November OBSTACLES TO CROSS- 2013 BORDER COOPERATION It is with Europe’s citizens in mind that the ministers responsible for local and regional government of the 47 member States of the Council of Europe launched in 2009 a major survey of difficulties and obstacles that hamper the cooperation across the borders and agreed in 2011 to further develop their cooperation with a view to reduce or remove those obstacles.This Manual is a compilation of both difficulties recorded across the frontiers and solutions found to overcome them. With the help of ISIG of Gorizia (Italy) the data collected through a questionnaire have been systematised and organised in such a way as to enable all actors of crossborder cooperation to find examples that correspond to their situation and solutions that may help them to adopt the response to their needs. 2 FOREWORD FOREWORD Since its establishment in 1949, the Council of Europe, the first political Organisation of the European continent and the only truly pan-European organisation, with its 47 member states (at the time of writing in November 2013), has consistently worked for the development of a “Europe without dividing lines”, in the spheres of human rights, rule of law and democracy. One of its fields of activity has been local and regional governance, with special attention being paid to the principles of local government, the promotion of effective local democracy and citizens’ participation and the facilitation of forms of cooperation between local and regional authorities across political boundaries. Four conventions, several recommendations and a handful of practical tools (all available at: www.coe.int/local) embody this work aimed at making cooperation between neighbouring or non-adjacent territorial communities or authorities legally feasible and practically sustainable.
