Relationships Between Cross-Cultural Adaption, Perceived Stress and Psychological Health Among International Undergraduate Students From a Medical Un…
2021
International university students may be at greater risk for developing psychological problems due to the unique stressors in them, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of present study is to propose and test a moderated mediation model that would illuminate the underlying relationships of cross-cultural adaption, perceived stress and psychological health as well as the moderating effect of optimism and resilience among international medical undergraduates in China during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study was conducted via a web-based survey in November 2020. Electronic informed consents were obtained from all participants. A total of 453 students including 233 males and 22…
PICAREQUE NOVEL AND ITS ELEMENTS IN LATVIAN NOVEL HISTORY
2013
Anotācija Blēžu jeb pikareskais romāns sākotnēji radies Spānijā 16. gadsimtā un to pārstāvēja daži literāri darbi. Taču laika gaitā, izplatoties tālāk Vācijā, Anglijā, Francijā u.c., tas kļuva par literāru modeli, kura iezīmes raksturīgas arī latviešu literatūrai- jau sākot no brāļu Kaudzīšu romāna „Mērnieku laiki”(1879) līdz pat mūsdienām. Latviešu romānistika blēžu romāna aspektā līdz šim padziļināti nav pētīta. Visplašāk pikareskais romāns attīstījās tieši 20.gs 20.-30.gadu literatūrā, kā spilgtākos piemērus var minēt K. Zariņa romānu „Spīganas purvā”, J. V. Gregri „Latvijas karalis jeb Cilvēks, kam visi parādā”, P. Rozīša „Ceplis”, Anšl. Eglīša „Līgavu mednieki”. Atslēgas vārdi: sociāli…
Maksa Friša autobiogrāfiskais stāsts Montauk un tā adaptācija Folkera Šlēndorfa filmā (2017)
2020
Šis maģistra darbs „Maksa Friša autobiographiskais stāsts Montauk un tā adaptācija Volkera Šlēndorfa filmā” ir veltīts slavenā šveicu rakstnieku stāstu un vācu režisora filma analīzei. Darba mērķis ir aplūkot atšķirības un līdzības starp stāsta un ekranizāciju struktūrām un izpetīt literāra darba pārnesumu kino žanra jomā. Maģistra darbs ir strukturēts trīs daļās. Pirmajā daļā tiek apkopota teorētiskā informācija par literatūras ekranizāciju, ko sniedz gan literatūras, gan kino pētnieki. Tiek apskatīti aspekti par literatūras ekranizācijas veidiem, ka arī par intermediālo sakarību starp filmu un literatūru. Otrajā daļā tiek pievērsta uzmanība režisora Volkera Šlēndorfa ekranizācijai un Maks…
A Cross-Cultural Study of Smartphone Adoption in Uzbekistan and South Korea
2019
Smartphone technology has changed how mobile phones are perceived and used in daily life. In 2015, global smartphone sales reached 1.4 billion units, representing an increase of 14.4 percent from 2014. Despite this popularity, penetration rates vary significantly across countries, with a global median of 43%. The main purpose of this research is to examine smartphone adoption in Uzbekistan and South Korea based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and to categorize constructs according to the Kano model. The findings indicate significant differences between South Korea and Uzbekistan in terms of technology adoption as a whole and perception of UTAUT constructs.
Coping with the impacts of Urban Heat Islands A literature based study on understanding urban heat vulnerability and the need for resilience in citie…
2018
The urban heat island (UHI) is a phenomenon whereby temperature levels in urban areas are higher than in surrounding rural settings. Urban heat islands are a matter of increasing concern, since they can affect communities by exacerbating air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions (due to the greater use of air conditioning) and the occurrence of heat-related illness, and may lead to higher levels of mortality. This paper provides a description of the phenomena of (UHI) and an analysis of how cities are vulnerable to it. It highlights the need for resilience and the variety of means by which the UHI can be tackled. It describes a set of trends in two regions in Germany and Australia, which i…
Cell-average WENO with progressive order of accuracy close to discontinuities with applications to signal processing
2020
In this paper we translate to the cell-average setting the algorithm for the point-value discretization presented in S. Amat, J. Ruiz, C.-W. Shu, D. F. Y\'a\~nez, A new WENO-2r algorithm with progressive order of accuracy close to discontinuities, submitted to SIAM J. Numer. Anal.. This new strategy tries to improve the results of WENO-($2r-1$) algorithm close to the singularities, resulting in an optimal order of accuracy at these zones. The main idea is to modify the optimal weights so that they have a nonlinear expression that depends on the position of the discontinuities. In this paper we study the application of the new algorithm to signal processing using Harten's multiresolution. Se…
Management Structure Based Government Enterprise Architecture Framework Adaption in Situ
2017
Part 1: Regular Papers; International audience; The fragmentation of the public sector makes it difficult to manage strategically and architecturally as a whole. Enterprise Architecture (EA) is considered as an improvement to that. Architectural modeling and visualization of the general management strategy plans along with parallel database development in a local government forms the primary data in the longitudinal case study using Action Design Research Method. To find a proper organizational fit for the EA framework in public sector, we reflect on how the current state architectural descriptions got organized in situ in a deep corporate hierarchy, and what were the emerging management ne…
