Valsts pozitīvie pienākumi sociālo mediju īstenotu vārda brīvības ierobežojumu gadījumā
2022
Katrai personai piemīt tiesības uz vārda brīvību. Taču, ja persona šīs tiesības realizē sociālajos medijos, tie, kā privāto tiesību subjekti, var liegt personai piekļuvi savām platformām. Šādā gadījumā rodas jautājums, vai un kā valstij ir jāreaģē uz šādu sociālo mediju rīcību, kā arī – vai valsts atbildība būtu skatāma valsts negatīvā vai pozitīvā pienākuma gaismā. Maģistra darbā “Valsts pozitīvie pienākumi sociālo mediju īstenotu vārda brīvības ierobežojumu gadījumā” ir sniegts sociālo mediju pienākumu cilvēktiesību jomā raksturojums. Tāpat ir analizēta dažādu starptautisko cilvēktiesību institūciju prakse attiecībā uz valsts pozitīvajiem pienākumiem tieši vārda brīvības kontekstā. Bez ta…
Stratēģiskā plānošana reģionu galvenajās bibliotēkās - misija, vīzija, vērtības
2015
Stratēģiskā plānošana ir kļuvusi par aktuālu darbības jomu organizācijās, uzņēmumos un iestādēs, jo palīdz izvērtēt nākotnes attīstības scenārijus. Maģistra darbs izstrādāts ar mērķi apzināt situāciju stratēģiskajā plānošanā publiskajās bibliotēkās un bibliotekāru iesaisti tajā, koncentrējoties uz tādiem elementiem, kā misija, vīzija un vērtības. Pētījuma teorētisko bāzi veido aksioloģija un sociālā kapitāla teorija. Izmantojot pētniecības metodes - stratēģisko plānu kontentanalīzi un bibliotekāru anketēšanu, iegūti dati, kas apstiprina izvirzītās hipotēzes, ka reģionu galvenajām bibliotēkām trūkst pilnīgi izpildītu stratēģisko plānu, kā arī bibliotekāri lielākoties netiek iesaistīti stratē…
The effect of aquatic exercise on symptoms, function, body composition and cartilage in knee osteoarthritis
2016
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease associated with pain and loss of functional capacity. The management of knee OA is multifaceted and covers the whole OA continuum from injury prevention to the end stage of the disease. Recently, specific focus has been on preventing the progression of cartilage degeneration and avoiding loss of function in the early phase of the disease via the provision of exercise interventions. Aquatic exercise is a popular but under-researched exercise option. Therefore, the purpose of this dissertation was to investigate the role of aquatic exercise in the management of knee OA, focusing especially the effect it evokes on both functional capaci…
Recovery of mobility function and life-space mobility after ischemic stroke: the MOBITEC-Stroke study protocol
2020
Abstract Background Stroke is a major cause of disability and stroke incidence increases with age. Stroke frequently results in permanent limitations of mobility, and, consequently, the need for the help of others in activities of daily living. In order to optimize rehabilitative efforts and their functional outcomes, detailed knowledge of the functional recovery process, regarding mobility, is needed. Objectives of the MOBITEC-Stroke study are: 1.) To characterize mobility, including lower extremity physical function (LEPF) and life space (the geospatial extent of all of a person’s movements), and changes in mobility within the first year after stroke. 2.) To identify and characterize subg…
From ‘no dogs here!’ to ‘beware of the dog!’ : restricting dog signs as a reflection of social norms
2019
Signs in public space reflect ‘normalcy’ in a community. The authors ask what restricting signs tell us about a society? In order to explore the system and variation in the ways dog signs manifest different norms and control, they compare two different data sets: dog signs in a Northern European town, Jyväskylä in Finland, and two Eastern European villages in Romania. They apply a qualitative methodology based on visual communication, geosemiotics and linguistic landscape studies. The focus of the article is on the resources of addressing and the visual semiotics of the image. The investigated communities seem to create a complementary distribution of what they regulate that is also displa…
Changing people’s attitudes and beliefs toward driving through floodwaters : Evaluation of a video infographic
2018
Despite awareness of campaigns such as ‘Turn Around, Don’t Drown’ and the Australian state of Queensland’s ‘If It’s Flooded, Forget It’, people continue to drive through floodwaters, causing loss of life, risk to rescuers, and damage to vehicles. The aim of this study was to develop a video infographic that highlights the dangers of driving through floodwaters and provide safety tips to reduce the risk, and to evaluate its effectiveness in changing the beliefs and intentions of Australian adults toward this risky driving behaviour. This study adopted an online three-wave non-controlled pretest–posttest design. Australian licensed drivers (N = 201, male = 41, female = 160; Mage = 34.10) self…
Transformations Accompanying a Shift from Surface to Drip Irrigation in the Cànyoles Watershed, Valencia, Spain
2017
Drip irrigation is widely promoted in Spain to increase agricultural production and to save water. In the Cànyoles watershed, Valencia, we analysed the consequences of change from surface irrigation to drip irrigation over the past 25 years. There were a number of transformations resulting from, or accelerated by, this change including the 1) intensification of well construction causing a redistribution in access to groundwater, water shortages and a lowering of the groundwater table; 2) expansion of irrigation into former rain-dependent uphill areas resulting in increased water use; 3) shift to higher- value monoculture fruit crops, but with associated higher crop water requirements; 4) in…
Music adviser : emotion-driven music recommendation ecosystem
2017
In respect of the big amounts of music available in the web, people met the problem of choice. From another side, practically unlimited resources can bring us new opportunities in the music context. Efficient data management engines which are smart and self managed are in demand nowadays in the music industry to handle music sources amounts of which are coming towards to infinity continuously. This study demonstrates feasibility of the emotional based personalization of music recommendation system. There is still gap between human and artificial intelligence, robotics do not have intuition and emotions which represent critical point of recommendations. Taking into account significant influe…
Adult students in web-based thesis seminars : insights and challenges for supervision
2014
We examine the web-based thesis seminars in the context of academic adult education in our article which presents and reflects on the development of web-based teaching. Our reflection is based on our own web-based teaching experiences in the open university and in the class teachers' adult education programme aiming at the Master's degree, and in the feedback material that has been collected from the students. We first examine web-based seminars from the point of view of educational equality and accessible learning environments. Then we will analyse the requirement of scientificity of university context and the objectives related to the interaction and the adult educational solutions in web…
