Exploring Music Video Experiences and Their Influence on Music Perception
2022
Streaming music videos on the internet is an increasingly popular music listening activity that has remained virtually unexplored within music psychology. Studies of the role of music in film, as well as empirical research investigating the influence of audio-visual media and memory, have shown that visual information can have a profound effect on how music is perceived and remembered. The current study aimed to create a framework for understanding music video (MV) experiences by finding out when and why individuals choose to engage with this form of media, how these experiences contribute to the perception of musical meaning and influence affective outcomes, and whether these effects carr…
Ģenētiskās programmēšanas algoritms reāllaika videospēlē
2018
Darba mērķis ir izpētīt iespējas praktiski izmantot ģenētisko programmēšanas algoritmu un mākslīgo neironu tīklu sniegtās iespējas videospēļu kvalitātes uzlabošanā, darbinot reāllaika videospēļu tēlus. Tiek izpētītas reāllaika videospēlēs pielietotās mākslīgā intelekta metodes, ģenētiskās programmēšanas un mākslīgo neironu tīklu darbības principi un sasniegumi, kā arī veikts eksperiments spēles tēlu apmācībai ar ģenētiskās programmēšanas algoritmu, izveidots vienkāršots, mūsdienu videospēlēm vairāk raksturīgs mākslīgais intelekts, ar kuru tiek salīdzināts apmācītais algoritms eksperimenta vidē un darba ietvaros izstrādātā videospēlē.
Reconstructing the Gothic in games and gaming : Gothic monsters and ideology in the story world and player experiences of Fallout 3
2018
This dissertation research investigates the deployment of Gothic elements in digital games and player experiences of Gothic monsters. The Gothic is a rich and popular resource for games that, through representations of monstrosities and injustice, aims to induce in players a pleasurable feeling of discomfort, yet also reflects contemporary anxieties. The dissertation comprises three case studies of which the first two are close readings of the action role-playing game Fallout 3 and the third discourse analysis of transcribed player narration from Let’s Play (LP) gameplay videos. More specifically, the case studies discuss the dual role of Gothic monstrosities as a cause and consequence of t…

2017
Bakalaura darba tēma – Sievietes tēla atveidojums populārās mūzikas videoklipos. Billboard hitu analīze no 1970. līdz 2016. gadam. Darba mērķi ir ir noskaidrot kā tiek atveidots sievietes tēls mūzikas videoklipos, kā arī fiksēt, kādas idejas un dzimtes stereotipus tie reprezentē auditorijai dažādos laika posmos. Tā kā mūzikas videoklipi ir būtisks populārās kultūras produkts, ir svarīgi apzināties kādi vēstījumi tiek nodoti auditorijai, kāds sievietes tēls tiek veidots. Bakalaura darba teorētiskajā daļā apskatīti teorētiskie materiāli gan par populāro kultūru, populāro mūziku un slavenību kultūru, kā arī skaidrotas dzimtes lomas un ar sievieti saistītie stereotipi.

On porn censorship and liberal ethics in the UK. Brief notes on the Audiovisual Media Services Regulations 2014
2015
This article deals with the highly criticised Audiovisual Media Services Regulations 2014, which provides that now the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) regulations apply also to the videos-on-demand (and not only to DVDs).
Gap acceptance analysis in an urban intersection through a video acquired by an UAV
2014
Purpose of this paper is to apply a methodology previously developed to achieve an accurate measurements of the real traffic condition thought the use of a video acquired by an UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) and a probe vehicle equipped with a differential GPS. The used methodology is not invasive and thus, it doesn't influence the driver behavior. The used equipment must not be compared to the traditional techniques of traffic flow but it can be used for particular situations in which the installation of fixed detectors is not economic. In particular, we have analyzed the gap acceptance for an urban intersection between a main road with dual carriageway and two lanes in one direction, that …
Is a seminar based on student-created screen capture videos a meaningful way of learning?
2008
We ran a problem-based seminar with screen capture videos. The students worked in small groups of two or three students or they completed the coursework individually. In this seminar the students had a workspace in the Optima environment for publishing their coursework videos. At the final phase of the course the students were expected to familiarize themselves with the presentations of other groups. In this paper we analyze the benefit of our problem-based coursework on the web by comparing the different phases of it. After each phase the students were expected to analyze the benefit of it for their learning. peerReviewed
Image inpainting using directional wavelet packets originating from polynomial splines
2020
The paper presents a new algorithm for the image inpainting problem. The algorithm is using a recently designed versatile library of quasi-analytic complex-valued wavelet packets (qWPs) which originate from polynomial splines of arbitrary orders. Tensor products of 1D qWPs provide a diversity of 2D qWPs oriented in multiple directions. For example, a set of the fourth-level qWPs comprises 62 different directions. The properties of the presented qWPs such as refined frequency resolution, directionality of waveforms with unlimited number of orientations, (anti-)symmetry of waveforms and windowed oscillating structure of waveforms with a variety of frequencies, make them efficient in image pro…
