Brīvprātīgā darba iespējas publiskajās bibliotēkās
2017
Maģistra darba temats ir „Brīvprātīgā darba iespējas publiskajās bibliotēkās”. Tā izvēles pamatā ir vēlme noskaidrot, kāds ir brīvprātīgā darba devums publiskajās bibliotēkās. Pētījuma mērķis ir noskaidrot, cik lielā mērā brīvprātīgais darbs ir izplatīts publiskajās bibliotēkās un kāda ir tā loma. Maģistra darba teorētisko pamatojumu veido aksioloģija, inovāciju difūzijas teorija un sociālā kapitāla teorija. Datu ieguvei tika izmantota anketēšana, daļēji strukturētās intervijas, ekspertu intervijas. Pēc pētījuma rezultātiem var secināt, ka tikai neliela daļa publisko bibliotēku izmanto brīvprātīgo palīdzību. Publiskajās bibliotēkās, kurās ir pieredze ar brīvprātīgajiem, brīvprātīgais darbs …
Multi-Authored Manuscripts and Speedup in Academic Publishing
2014
It is unfair to count a n-authored paper as one paper for each coauthor, i.e., as n papers: this is “feeding the multitude”. Sharing the credit among coauthors by percentages or by simply dividing by n is fairer but somewhat harsh. So, we propose to take into account the productivity gains of parallelization by introducing a team bonus function that multiplies the allocation thereby increasing the credit allocated to each coauthor.The degree of parallelization cannot be determined exogenously discipline by discipline. So, one may propose that each team of coauthors indicates how the labor was organized to produce the paper. Unfortunately, the coauthors may systematically bias their answers …
Research production in high-impact journals of contemporary neuroscience: A gender analysis
2017
Neuroscience or Neural Science is a very active and interdisciplinary field that seeks to understand the brain and the nervous system. In spite of important advances made in recent decades, women are still underrepresented in neuroscience research output as a consequence of gender inequality in science overall. This study carries out a scientometric analysis of the 30 neuroscience journals (2009–2010) with the highest impact in the Web of Science database (Thomson Reuters) in order to quantitatively examine the current contribution of women in neuroscientific production, their pattern of research collaboration, scientific content, and the analysis of scientific impact from a gender perspect…
“Nos inventamos un mundo que no existía”. Una profesión de riesgo.
2019
Since the end of Franco's dictatorship, editorial censorship has been an object of interdisciplinary study that has been incorporating, to the initial analysis of the constitution and nature of censorship, the study of a variety of case studies that are resizing the phenomenon. On the one hand, in the context of memory studies, it is necessary to analyze what effects censorship had on the configuration of cultural memory. On the other hand, censorship has a considerable effect on publishing strategies, both in itself and because it fosters self-censorship and countercensorship. In particular, this article explores the work of women publishers who, in the Barcelona of the 1960s and 1970s, op…
Instruction of Digital Reading Strategies Based on Eye-Movements Modeling Examples
2018
During the last decade, several studies have proposed and tested different instructional methods for teaching digital reading strategies to young students. In this study, we have tested the effectiveness of a program combining eye-movements modeling examples (EMMEs) and contrasting cases to instruct ninth-grade students how to plan, evaluate, and monitor their digital reading. EMMEs are videos that display a dot representing the eye movements of a model and an oral transcription of her thoughts while answering a specific question in a hypertext. Students in the EMME condition obtain higher comprehension scores in a posttest performed 1 week after the instruction, as compared with a control…

Integration of distributed healthcare records: publishing legacy data as XML documents compliant with CEN/TC251 ENV13606
2003
To support co-operative work among health professionals and institutions it is necessary to share healthcare information about patients in a meaningful way. But, nowadays, in most hospitals health data are distributed across several information systems whose interconnection is difficult to achieve, this leads to the so-called islands of information. This paper briefly describes the architecture, design and implementation of the PANGEA system. PANGEA allows healthcare professionals to access patient information stored in heterogeneous autonomous information systems through a set of formal aggregates of health data based on the European pre-standard of Healthcare Record Architecture ENV13606 …

Tourism Activity of Member States and Romania's Place within the First Five Years after EU Accession
2013
Abstract This paper is a brief statistical analysis of the evolution of tourism in the EU-27 in the first five years after Romania's accession. The analysis was based on official data published by Eurostat regarding the tourist accommodation capacity by categories, the number of arrivals and overnight stays of tourists and non-residents. I highlighted each time Romania's place within Member States, preferring graphics that are more suggestive than synthetic data tables. In conclusions I have highlighted the changes occurred in Romania, far from those expected after five years as a member of the European Union.
