Abating inequalities? : Job quality at the intersection of class and gender in Finland 1977–2013
2016
Globalization with its many side-effects on working life is seen to pose accentuated risks especially for women and low skilled workers – resulting in increasing polarization of job quality. In contrast to “universal theories”, institutional theories claim changes in work life might vary according to the institutional and cultural frameworks which mediate the global pressures of change. This study analyses job quality trends in Finland at the intersection of class and gender. The results, based on the Finnish Quality of Work Life survey (1977–2013), find no clear evidence of polarization. In line with the institutional theory’s prediction of a low risk of polarization in coordinated and in…
Reflecting on Work Values with Young Unemployed Adults in Finland
2019
In this article, we explore the internal conversations about the work values of young unemployed adults in Finland. We draw on the theoretical concept of internal conversation by Margaret Archer in order to shift the focus from the individual work values to the interplay between subjective concerns and structural circumstances. The data consist of six group interviews conducted among 29 young unemployed adults. We argue that the internal conversations on work values of young unemployed adults constitute five significant concerns: self-realization and opportunity to contribute to society; sufficient income to live independently; social expectations; challenges of finding employment; and unsu…
Teenage Violence Toward Parents – in Search of the Theoretical Bases of a Research Tool
2020
The article contains an analysis of results of the available research on the phenomenon of children’s violence toward their parents. The main purpose of this interpretation is to search for the theoretical structure of a prepared research tool, initially called the Teen Violence Scale Toward Parents (TVSTP). The subject of the analyzes were works and research reports as well as police statistics containing information on the phenomenon of domestic violence, including teenage violence toward parents. As a result of the analysis, the theoretical function of the proposed research tool was distinguished, referring to types of violence possible to diagnose within this area. The proposed tool was…
Industrial branding using digital media : case: The Switch
2012
The shift from traditional marketing channels to the digital channels has been rapid which has generated new challenges and opportunities for business-to-business (B2B) communication and brand building processes. In general, studies of B2B branding are scarce, since branding has been approached as a business-to-consumer (B2C) function. In future B2B branding and brand management may well become a critical success factor in the market, since competition brought by globalization and market liberalization assisted by the internet revolution. This research will combine these previously presented themes; B2B branding and digitalization, and hence try to understand the phenomena of industrial bra…

Degradēto teritoriju reģenerācija Daugavpils centrā: Gajoka piemērs
2022
Pilsētu reģenerācijas ir daudzpusīgs process, kura ietvaros norisinās pilsētvides transformācija. Pilsētu morfoloģiskā, apbūves, publiskās ārtelpas un sociālā vide pastāvīgi mainās un attīstās. Šo pārmaiņu rezultātā agrākās rūpnieciskās apbūves zonas zaudē savu nozīmi, bieži tiek pamestas un kļūst par degradētām teritorijām. Latvijas lielajās pilsētās, līdzīgi citām Centrālās un Austrumeiropas pilsētām, vērojami de-industrializācijas procesi, iedzīvotāju skaita sarukums un sastāva novecošana. Tas vietējām pašvaldībām ir jauns izaicinājums meklēt atbilstošākos risinājumus degradēto teritoriju reģenerācijai agrākajās rūpnieciskās apbūves teritorijās. Bakalaura darbā analizēti pilsētvides tran…
Vaginālās dzemdības pēc ķeizargrieziena operācijas anamnēzē
2016
Darba aktualitāte: pamatojoties uz to, ka ka pasaulē pieaug veikto ķeizargriezienu operāciju skaits sieviešu grupā ar ķeizargrieziena operāciju anamnēzē. Turpretim vaginālo dzemdību skaits šajā grupā samazinās. Tādēļ ir izvērtējami riski saistībā ar vaginālām dzemdībām pēc ķeizargrieziena operācijas anamnēzē. Darba mērķis: noskaidrot un izvērtēt biežākos riskus un riska faktorus gan no mātes puses, gan no augļa puses, secinot, kuri no tiem negatīvi vai pozitīvi ietekmē vaginālu dzemdību norisi pēc ķeizargrieziena operācijas anamnēzē. Materiāli un metodes: Retrospektīvā, aprakstošā pētījumā bija analizēti ambulatorajās kartiņās iekļautie dati, kuru iegūšana balstījās uz speciāli izstrādātu d…
Monotherapy with indacaterol once daily reduces the rate of exacerbations in patients with moderate-to-severe COPD: Post-hoc pooled analysis of 6 mon…
2014
Summary Background In patients with COPD, exacerbations are associated with poor quality of life and may shorten survival. Prevention of exacerbations is, therefore, a key objective in COPD management. Indacaterol, a once-daily ultra-long-acting β 2 -agonist, has been shown to reduce exacerbations in various studies. This pooled analysis evaluated the effect of indacaterol on exacerbations versus placebo. Methods Six-month data were pooled from three randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled studies: indacaterol 300 μg versus placebo (1 year); indacaterol 150 μg and 300 μg versus placebo (6 months); and indacaterol 150 μg versus placebo (6 months). All treatments were administered on…

Темпоральные аспекты моделирования и прогнозирования в экологии
1986
Межведомственный тематический сборник научных трудов по концептуальным, методологическим и методическим вопросам формализации временных отношений (темпоральности) в биоэкологическом прогнозировании, при моделировании экосистемы и ее биотических элементов. Тематика сборника в определенной мере отражает широкий диапазон и многогранность проблемы темпорализма в биоэкологии.
