Augstie purvi kā medus bites Apis mellifera ganības

2018

Bakalaura darba „Augstie purvi kā medus bites Apis mellifera ganības” mērķis bija novērtēt medus bitēm pieejamo ziedputekšņu daudzveidību teritorijā ar augstu sūnu purvu īpatsvaru, izmantojot bišu putekšņu nastiņu analīzi. Putekšņu nastiņas ievāktas 2015. gadā reizi trīs nedēļās no 3 bišu saimēm, kuru pastāvīgā novietne atrodas Teiču purva tuvumā. Izmantotas divas putekšņu analīzes metodes, lai pārliecinātos par datu precizitāti. Veikta biotopu un veģetācijas kartēšana 4 km bišu lidojuma zonā ap dravu. Izmantojot putekšņu analīzes rezultātus, aprēķināti Šenona un Simpsona daudzveidības indeksi. Putekšņu daudzveidība salīdzināta ar 4 dravām, kuru apkārtnē ir dažāds zemes lietojumveids, izman…

Implementation of Substitution Treatment in Finland: Beyond Rationalisation and Medicalisation

2011

AIMS Finnish treatment of drug abuse has during the last two decades shifted from a predominantly psychosocial approach to a more medical mode. This is especially evident in the rapid implementation of substitution treatments (STs). My aim is to show that labelling this development as ‘medicalisation’ or ‘rationalisation’ as a form of medical progress will not increase our understanding of the change. MATERIAL AND DESIGN I analysed texts from several periodicals with psychosocial, social policy and medical perspectives between 1997 and 2005. Four basic conceptual and argumentative underpinnings emerged which gave credence to the medical and rationalapproach, and the validity of these four e…

Psychotherapy Integration: A main Obstacle and Challenge

2018

Abstract Psychotherapy integration is a key trend in psychotherapy nowadays. This paper offers a critical perspective on a main obstacle and challenge for psychotherapy integration. Psychotherapy integration should be treated more as a process than as a product. For psychotherapy integration to contribute to the future of psychotherapy, it should not forget its original Exploratory spirit, avoiding and being cautious about Established approaches, and being, therefore, more a process than a product. This assumption should be related first with the core spirit of psychotherapy integration, an ongoing process of respect for different psychotherapeutic models, and an attitude of work in progres…

Self-compassion and social functioning of people – research review

2015

Abstract Self-compassion is considered to be a healthy and adaptive attitude towards oneself, occurring both as a feature, as well as a state. Self-compassionate attitude towards oneself is composed of: a) kindness and understanding given to oneself b) mindfulness of one’s own experiences and c) a sense of community of experiences with humanity. Compassion towards oneself is structurally and functionally distinct from the self-commiseration and self-pity that lead to worse adaptation. Research shows that self-compassion is associated with better regulation of negative emotions. Neff (2003 a) in her theoretical assumption states that due to more effective emotion regulation , people with a h…

Rehearsing to control depressive symptoms through a behavior change support system

2013

Depressive symptoms are generally coupled with distress and high treatment costs. We present our on-going research on a Web-based behavior change support system, which utilizes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as a rehearsal tool. We present a summarized account of the research setting, studied persuasive software features, and a brief account of initial data analysis. Our work presents implications on design interventions for mental well-being and human-computer interaction.

Positions constructed for a female therapist in male batterers' treatment groups

2010

The aim of this study was to examine how male batterers regard to a female therapist in their group treatment. Of interest were the socially constructed positions for a female therapist. This study intends to examine what kind of positions the batterers construct for a female therapist in their speech and how the female therapist reacts to invitations to take up these positions. Attention was paid also to the male therapist’s positions in these situations. The topic was approached from a social constructionist and discourse analytic point of view and Grounded Theory was used as the method of analysing the data. The data consisted of five therapy groups for male batterers, each of which gath…

Towards gender awareness in couple therapy and in treatment of intimate partner violence

2017

Gender is the most pervasive classification of individuals and thus strongly defines couple relationships. Cultural discourses on couple relationships reproduce hierarchical gender differences, and couple distress is often linked to gendered power inequalities. At worst, gender is the basis for intimate partner violence (IPV). Generally, however, therapeutic interventions do not address the issues of gender and gendered power. This paper discusses the meaning and functions of gender in the context of couple therapy, in particular for IPV. It is argued that the therapist needs to be skilled in discursive deconstruction to be able not only to address the client’s situation as an individual ex…
