Shared experiencing, shared understandings: Intersubjectivity as a key phenomenon in drama education

2018

This article is a philosophical reflection on intersubjectivity in the context of drama education; it draws on the concept’s most recent neuroscientific basis as well as the perspectives of Merleau-Ponty, Buber and Husserl. Its purpose is to deepen our understanding of the mechanisms of interaction in learning processes in drama education. In the stream of interaction in drama, the central conditions are shared experiencing and shared understandings. Intersubjectivity encompasses both of these. This study views intersubjectivity as an innate capacity and a real phenomenon – one that is a key phenomenon in the interactions of drama education. peerReviewed

Effect of cyclic loading on fracture strength and microleakage of a quartz fiber dowel with different adhesive, cement and resin core material combin…

2010

Background: This study evaluated the performance of different adhesive-cement-core combinations coupled with quartz fiber dowels after cyclic loading and fracture strength tests and assessed the microleakage using dye penetration method. Methods: Forty maxillary canines (n=10 per group) were restored with fiber dowels (Quartz fiber DT Light Post) and four adhesive-cement-core material combinations [(Group 1: All-Bond 2+C&B (root) / All-Bond 2+Biscore (core); Group 2: All-Bond 2+Bisfil 2B (root) / All-Bond 2+Bisfil 2B (core); Group 3: Scotchbond 1+RelyX ARC (root) / Scotchbond 1+Supreme (core); Group 4: RelyX Unicem (root) / Scotchbond 1+Filtek Supreme (core)]. The specimens were initially c…

Customer Experience Formation in Online Shopping : Investigating the Causes of Positive and Negative Emotions During a Visit to an Online Store

2020

This study explores customer experience formation in an online shopping context by investigating the causes of customers’ positive and negative emotions during their visit to an online store. Survey data collected from 1786 Finnish online customers was used to identify individuals who experienced strong positive (N = 138) or negative emotions (N = 215) during their visit. The causes of negative and positive emotions were studied by analyzing customers’ open-ended, written explanations attributed to their emotions. Attribution theory is utilized to explain how individuals make sense of their emotions. The findings show that customers offer various explanations for the emotions evoked during …

How Are Negative Customer Experiences Formed? A Qualitative Study of Customers’ Online Shopping Journeys

2019

This study investigates how negative customer experiences are formed during customers’ online shopping journeys. A qualitative, in-depth dataset collected from 34 participants was employed to identify negatively perceived touchpoints that contribute to the customer experience in a negative way. The findings reveal that negative touchpoints are experienced during customers’ entire journeys, particularly after a purchase is completed. We identified 152 negative touchpoints from the data, of which 53 were experienced during search and consideration, 35 when finalizing a purchase, 33 during delivery, and 31 during after-sales interactions with the company. Within these four main categories, 20 …

Extending customer relationship management. From empowering firms to empowering customers

2013

Purpose – The focus of customer relationship management (CRM) literature has been predominantly on the firm perspective and on IT, not on customer or service orientation and value co-creation. This paper seeks to explore and analyse contemporary CRM frameworks and suggests future research directions. To achieve this, a thorough literature review on CRM is conducted focusing on recent advances within CRM. This provides a good basis for critically analysing the current status of both CRM theory and practice. Design/methodology/approach – The paper reviews CRM literature published 2003-2011. Based on the literature review, it introduces a conceptual framework of the changing role of customer d…

Pašēna – Baka efekts Cs atomos, izmantojot D1 un D2 līniju ierosmi

2017

Šajā bakalaura darbā tiek pētīta magnētisko apakšlīmeņu sašķelšanās magnētiskajā laukā, kas sasniedz 0,7 Teslas jeb tā saukto Pašēna-Baka režīmu. Pētījumi izdarīti, veicot absorbcijas mērījumus Cs atomārā gāzē, izmantojot skenējamu diožu lāzeru ierosmi D1 un D2 līnijas pārejām. Pētījumi tika izdarīti diviem gadījumiem - kad ierosinošā starojuma elektriskā lauka vektors ir paralēls un perpendikulārs ārējā magnētiskā lauka vektoram. Šādas divu tipu ierosmes ļauj novērot dažādas optiskās pārejas starp magnētiskajiem apakšlīmeņiem, kas dod iespēju iegūt plašu izpratni par atoma līmeņu struktūru un izvēles likumiem, kā arī ļauj izmantot tās magnētiskā lauka mērīšanai.

Mechanisms and consequences of methylating agent-induced SCEs and chromosomal aberrations: a long road traveled and still a far way to go.

2003

Since the milestone work of Evans and Scott, demonstrating the replication dependence of alkylation-induced aberrations, and Obe and Natarajan, pointing to the critical role of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) as the ultimate trigger of aberrations, the field has grown extensively. A notable example is the identification of DNA methylation lesions provoking chromosome breakage (clastogenic) effects, which made it possible to model clastogenic pathways evoked by genotoxins. Experiments with repair-deficient mutants and transgenic cell lines revealed both O<sup>6</sup>-methylguanine (O<sup>6</sup>MeG) and N- methylpurines as critical lesions. For S<sub>N</sub&g…

Criteria for the selection of personal protective equipment and their role in reducing risks to the working environment in Vilaka Social Care Centre

2020

Kvalifikācijas darba tēma „Individuālo aizsardzības līdzekļu izvēles kritēriji un to nozīme darba vides risku mazināšanā Viļakas sociālās aprūpes centrā”, darba autore Līna Barovska, darba vadītāja Mg. sc.; Mg. oec. Iveta Daugule. Pasaulē un arī Latvijā valdošās situācijas dēļ, saistībā ar Covid-19 vīrusa izplatību, šī tēma ir ļoti aktuāla, jo IAL piedāvājuma klāsts ir palielinājies un izstrādātas dažādas tehnoloģijas, ko pielieto IAL ražošanā. Ir svarīgi apzināt situāciju, izprast IAL nozīmīgumu un piemērotību attiecīgam darbam, kā arī pētīt IAL kvalitātes standartus, lai neradītu veselības apdraudējumu darbiniekiem un radītu visefektīvāko iespējamo drošību. Kvalifikācijas darba mērķis: iz…
