Suicide and Ambient Temperature: A Multi-Country Multi-City Study
2019
Background: Previous literature suggests that higher ambient temperature may play a role in increasing the risk of suicide. However, no multi-country study has explored the shape of the association and the role of moderate and extreme heat across different locations. Objectives: We examined the short-term temperature–suicide relationship using daily time-series data collected for 341 locations in 12 countries for periods ranging from 4 to 40 y. Methods: We conducted a two-stage meta-analysis. First, we performed location-specific time-stratified case-crossover analyses to examine the temperature–suicide association for each location. Then, we used a multivariate meta-regression to combine t…

Mijamoto Musaši grāmatas “The Book of Five Rings” tulkojuma no japāņu valodas angļu valodā un no japāņu valodas krievu valodā kontrastīvā analīze
2018
Maģistra darba tēma ir “Mijamoto Musaši grāmatas "The Book of Five Rings" tulkojuma no japāņu valodas angļu valodā un no japāņu valodas krievu valodā kontrastīvā analīze”. Darba mērķis ir salīdzināt tulkojumus, uzzināt, kā tie atšķiras, vai tie ir līdzīgi, un atklāt, kā teksts tika adaptēts un lokalizēts attiecīgām auditorijām. Maģistra darba izveidē tika izmantotas kontrastīvā analīze un kvalitatīvās pētniecības metodes. Darba sākuma ir norādīta hipotēze: “Avota materiāls tika lokalizēts, bet tulkotāji izmanto dažādas metodes atkarībā no mērķauditorijas”. Hipotēze tika apstiprināta, bet tai ir daži sarežģījumi. Abi tulkojumi ļoti …

Oficiālās japāņu valodas atšķirības rakstu valodā no mutiskās valodas
2016
Bakalaura darba nosaukums ir ‘’Oficiālās japāņu valodas atšķirības rakstu valodā no mutiskās valodas,’’ kur oficiālo japāņu valodu saprot kā standarta valodu, ko izmanto valsts iestādēs un sarunvaloda, kura ir balstīta tieši uz standarta valodas, nevis kāda reģionālā dialekta. Tēma tika izvēlēta, jo, mācoties japāņu valodu, bieži rodas sarežģījumi tulkojumos vai interpretācijā, kad tiek salīdzināta rakstu valoda, kas ir standartizēta, ar sarunvalodu, kur netiek ievēroti visi gramatikas likumi un tiek izmantoti papildus izteiksmes veidi, ko nelieto rakstu valodā. Darba mērķi ir parādīt, kā tika veidota mūsdienu standarta japāņu valoda, kā atšķiras rakstu valoda no sarunvalodas, kur būtiskākā…
