STUDENT GRAPHICAL INFORMATION LITERACY IN MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE
2017
Among the most important 21st century skills that every student needs are the ability to work with information. The key for implementing competency based approach to learning will be related to how students' ability to apply skills acquired in, for example, mathematics can be transferred to other subject contexts. Newest OECD PISA results presented in 2016 show a recurring tendency that in Latvia there is a small number of students whose performance is in accordance to the 5th and 6th level of the framework. These two levels represent students' ability to apply deep thinking skills in new learning contexts. It is necessary to analyze the causes of this situation in order to identify opportu…
Association between Anxiety, Quality of Life and Academic Performance of the Final-Year-Students in Latvia
2021
The main objective of this study was to investigate the association between final-year students’ anxiety level and quality of life (QOL) with their academic achievements. A longitudinal study was performed in regular schools and in high-rated gymnasiums at the beginning and at the end of the school year. Multiple linear regression models were built for the association between level of anxiety/QOL with academic achievements. Type of school and gender—but not the level of anxiety—were the main predictors of academic achievements of 287 adolescents (e.g., for mathematics, the effect estimates were: β = −1.71 [95% confidence interval −2.21

Models of tax payments of performers of economic activity in Latvia
2019
Economic theory sources widely discuss the fiscal policy, the ways of encouraging economic development, improve the welfare of people, improve employment and promote progress by fiscal instruments. On one side, it is possible to use the expenditure policy, on the other side, tax revenue can be optimised by reducing tax gaps. State officials often view self-employment as a missed opportunity deserving more focused attention. The European Union also supports this position. The question of self-employment is important for performers of economic activity. The aim of the research: on the basis of theoretical (legislative) and empirical analysis to find out advantages and disadvantages of tax pay…
Wood formation in pedunculate oak and its relation with climatic factors in Latvia
2013
Šajā darbā ir analizēta parastā ozola (Quercus robur L.) augšanas saistība ar klimatiskajiem faktoriem Latvijā (43 vietas), izmantojot dendrohronoloăijas un dendroekoloģijas metodes. Klimata ietekmes novērtējumam, izmantoja divus atšķirīgus gadskārtu mērījumus: gadskārtu platumu un pavasara koksnes traheju dobumu laukumu. Ozola augšana uzrādīja atšķirības gar austrumu-rietumu gradientu saistībā ar klimata kontinentalitāti. Balstoties uz šo gradientu Latvijas teritoriju var iedalīt divās daļās (rietumu un austrumu reģionā). Gadskārtu platumu rietumu reģionā, galvenokārt, ietekmēja pavasara un vasaras gaisa temperatūra, bet austrumu reģionā klimatisko faktoru, kas ir saistīti ar sausumu vasar…
Changes of total annual runoff distribution, high and low discharges in Latvian rivers
2009
Changes of total annual runoff distribution, high and low discharges in Latvian rivers The paper examines climate change impacts on the hydrological regime of nineteen different river basins in Latvia. Hydrological data series for the period of 1951-2006 were analysed for river basins of four hydrological districts: Western, Central, Northern and Eastern. Climate change has influenced the temporal and spatial distribution of total annual river runoff and high and low flows in Latvia at the turn of century. The results confirm the hypothesis that the main tendency in the run-off change is a decrease in spring floods and increase in winter. Generally, statistically insignificant long-term tre…
Economic Activity in Context of Regions, Education Level, Age Group and Gender: Case of Latvia
2019
In the National Development Plan of Latvia 2014–2020 it is written that society is aware that social, regional and opportunity inequalities can be reduced by a high overall employment rate in which everyone seeks for productivity. High employment rate is important not only for decreasing inequalities in country, but also for promoting economic growth. There have always been employment challenges in Latvia that are complex and insufficiently researched in academic research. The aim of the study is to analyse economic activity in Latvia by regions, education level, age group and gender. Research methods used in preparation of the article: scientific publication and previous conducted research…

2019
Bakalaura darba nosaukums ir Valsts pārvaldē nodarbināto skaita samazinājuma izvērtējums: Latvijas gadījuma izpēte. Pētījuma mērķis ir izstrādāt pētījumu par valsts pārvaldē nodarbināto skaitu samazināšanu, kas ietvertu situācijas raksturojumu kopš 1991. gada līdz mūsdienām, kā arī nākotnes scenārijus un izmantoto argumentāciju, kā arī izvērtēt veiktā samazinājuma atbilstību pārmaiņu vadības kritērijiem. Teorētisko daļu veido literatūra par Publisko pārvaldi, Jauno publisko pārvaldi, Pārmaiņu vadību. Pētījumā ir izmantotas 3 metodes: argumentu kartēšana, dokumentu analīze, un pārmaiņu vadības kritēriji. Pētījuma rezultātā var novērot to, ka vislielākais nodarbināto skaita samazinājums valst…
Performance analysis of Latvian zenith camera
2018
Since finalizing of design in 2016, the digital zenith camera of the University of Latvia was involved in a number of test observations as well as field observations at about 70 different sites. The paper presents analysis of observation results, estimation of instrument’s performance and accuracy. Random and systematic error sources are outlined. Impact of anomalous refraction on vertical deflection determination is discussed. Results of adaptation of GAIA reference star catalog for astrometric data reduction are reported.
