Individual consistency and sex differences in migration strategies of Scopoli’s shearwaters Calonectris diomedea despite year differences
2014
Abstract Recently-developed capabilities for tracking the movements of individual birds over the course of a year or longer has provided increasing evidence for consistent individual differences in migration schedules and destinations. This raises questions about the relative importance of individual consistency versus flexibility in the evolution of migration strategies, and has implications for the ability of populations to respond to climatic change. Using geolocators, we tracked the migrations of Scopoli’s shearwaters Calonectris diomedea breeding in Linosa (Italy) across three years, and analysed timing and spatial aspects of their movements. Birds showed remarkable variation in their …
Invasive Alien Species and Their Effects on Marine Animal Forests
2020
Nonindigenous species are increasingly transported around the world through multiple pathways by a diversity of vectors. Invasive species are a subset of those that are introduced into the receptor community, where they establish and increase their population to a size where they impact the native system. Marine invasive species can therefore interact with and modify native animal forests and/or create novel ones resulting in simple-to-complex changes in material cycling, energy flow, ecosystem structure, and function. Despite the ever increasing number of studies dealing with marine invasive species, mostly biological invasions are mentioned generically as one of a number of threats of dir…
Latvijas uzņēmumu ieiešanas stratēģijas Āzijas tirgū
2017
Ieiešanas stratēģijas ārzemju tirgos ir veids, kādā uzņēmums savu produktu pārdod ārpus nacionālām robežām. Starptautiskās biznesa formas ir tiešais un netiešais eksports, licencēšana, franšīze, kopuzņēmums u.c. Eiropa viennozīmīgi ir mājas tirgus, tomēr pietiekoši piesātināts, lai meklētu jaunus tirgus. Āzija ir viens no tiem, kas pašlaik ir ļoti augošs un kļūst aizvien atvērtāks. Lai arī pastāv dažādi stereotipi un aizspriedumi, kas balstās kultūras atšķirībās, daudzi Latvijas uzņēmumi veiksmīgi darbojas tajā. Mērķis ir izpētīt, kāda veida stratēģijas tiek visbiežāk izmantotas Latvijas uzņēmumiem, ieejot Āzijas tirgū, kā arī uzzināt kopējo priekšstatu par Āzijas tirgu kā Latvijas uzņēmumu…
Apkalpojošās sfēras darbinieku emocionālā darba stratēģiju izvēles saistības ar emocionālo intelektu un apmierinātību ar darbu.
2018
Bakalaura darba mērķis ir apskatīt saistības starp emocionālā darba stratēģiju izvēli, emocionālo intelektu un apmierinātību ar darbu apkalpojošās sfēras darbinieku vidū. Pētījumā piedalījās apkalpojošās sfēras darbinieki. Izlases apjoms ir 70 cilvēki, no kuriem 45 ir sievietes, bet 25 vīrieši. Pētījuma dalībnieki ir vecumā no 18 līdz 46 gadiem. Lai sasniegtu pētījumā izvirzīto mērķi, tika izmantotas trīs aptaujas. Emocionālā darba stratēģiju izvēles izpētīšanai tika pielietota Emocionālā darba skala ( Emotional Labour scale), kura sastāv no 14 apgalvojumiem par paviršo tēlošanu, dziļo tēlošanu un īsto emociju izpaušanu ( Diefendorff, Croyle & Gosserand, 2005, kā minēts Kulikova, 2008). Emo…
Adolescents’ musical relaxation: understanding related affective processing
2017
Music listening promotes adolescents’ well-being and relaxation in daily life. Relaxation is linked to affective self-regulation, but little is known about the specific affective processes of musical relaxation. The current study aimed to elaborate the affective dimension of adolescents’ musical relaxation, through detailed exploration of the related affect regulation goals, strategies, and induction mechanisms. A qualitative study with 55 adolescents (42 girls, 13 boys), aged 15, was conducted. Participants listened to self-selected relaxation music for 20 min, once in a laboratory and once at home, and provided written descriptions of their experience. A total of 110 episode descriptions …

2021
Pētījuma mērķis ir izpētīt saistības starp līdzjūtību pret sevi un emociju regulēšanas stratēģiju izvēli. Pētījumā tika aptaujāti 81 respondents vecumā no 18 līdz 70 gadiem, kuri aizpildīja divas sekojošas aptaujas: Iejūtības pret sevi skalu (Self-Compassion Scale (SCS), Neff, 2003), kuru Latvijā adaptējusi Liliāna Tamsone, 2015. gadā un Emociju regulācijas aptauju (Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, Gross & John, 2003), kuras sākotnējo veikusi Marija Morozova, 2011. gadā, un uzlabojumu veicis Emīls Ūdris un Edmunds Vanags 2017. gadā, kā arī demogrāfisko datu anketu. Iegūtie rezultāti uzrādīja pozitīvas saistības starp emociju regulācijas aptaujas Kognitīvās pārvērtēšanas apakškalu un Iejūtī…

Learning-Student Methods. Their Effects on Learning Strategies and Approaches to Learning of University Students
2021
At the university we are in a process of change, from a teaching centered approach to a learning centered approach. It is important to have scientific data about the use of such methodologies to evaluate both its usefulness and its functionality. The aim of this research was to assess whether the application of learning-centered methods would lead to an improvement in students' learning strategies and approaches to learning compared to the control group, which received training with a teaching-centered format. A quasi-experimental cohort design, with a non-equivalent control group. The sample consisted of 243 Pedagogy and Social Education students at the University of Valencia, who were stu…
Clustering and interorganizational dynamics in foreign market entry strategies. Evidence from Chinese MNEs
2015
Owing to the globalization and economic integration worldwide, countries and markets become more independent, and companies and people are all inevitably involved in the global marketplace. This situation increases the importance of international management (IM) in nowadays business practice and the relevance of study on it. The essential focus of IM research is on multinational enterprise (MNE) strategies, among which the foreign market entry strategies have been underlined and received a great deal of attention. The carried out research aims to increase the knowledge on MNE’s behaviors and strategic decisions in foreign direct investment (FDI). We first gave a retrospective look at foreig…
Competitiveness and Sustainability in tourist firms and destinations
2020
Tourism is a major activity in the global economy, not only in terms of its economic impact but also its social and environmental implications. The management practices and processes adopted by tourist companies and destinations are very heterogeneous and have variable impacts on the triple-bottom-line sustainability (people, profit, planet) of the ecosystem. However, there is still only limited available knowledge about the value of different practices for promoting both sustainable development and greater competitiveness. This Special Issue includes papers that present new ideas, theories, advancements, experiences, evidence or methodologies that support the convergence of economic, socia…
