Associations of partnering transition and socioeconomic status with a four-year change in daily steps among Finnish adults
2019
Aim: The aim of this prospective four-year follow-up study was to examine how socioeconomic status (SES) and change in marital status are associated with the change in pedometer-measured physical activity (PA) in adulthood among participants in the ‘Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study’. Methods: Questionnaires were completed and pedometers worn at baseline in 2007 and again at follow-up in 2011 by 1051 Finnish adults (62.3% female, aged 30–45 years in 2007). A latent change score model was used to examine mean change in daily total steps, aerobic steps and non-aerobic steps during weekdays and weekend days between 2007 and 2011. Results: In women re-coupling or finding a new partner wa…
Naratīvs filmā: Kristofera Nolana filmu analīze
2022
Bakalaura darba " Naratīvs filmā: Kristofera Nolana filmu analīze" mērķis ir izprast Kristofera Nolana veidoto filmu īpatnības un naratīva specifiku. Kā režisoram izdodas veidot stāstus, kuros skatītāji tiek “ievilkti” un, kuri liek domāt par filmu vēl ilgi pēc tās noskatīšanās, kā arī saprast auditorijas uztveri par šīm filmām. Iepazīties ar pieejamo literatūru par naratīvu, kino naratīvu un auditoriju. Iegūstot nepieciešamās zināšanas pēc teorijas sastādīšanas, izveidot pētniecisko daļu šim darbam uz izdarīt secinājumus. Pētījuma datu ievākšanai un apstrādāšanai tiks izmantotas sekojošās pētniecības metodes: naratīva analīze un fokusgrupa. Bakalaura darba apjoms ir 59 lapaspuses, kuras sa…
Energy Retrofit. A Case Study—Santi Romano Dormitory on the Palermo University
2021
Electrical and thermal consumption related to buildings, whether civil, commercial, public, or of any other kind, is very much in focus today. With today’s targets for energy savings, reduction of consumption, and environmental impact, it is necessary to carry out energy retrofits to modernize installations and their management. The realization of an effective improvement requires a careful analysis of the case study because each category of building has different requirements such as different load profiles and different installations and needs. This was carried out by studying the electrical and thermal load profiles. A good initial energy audit can provide the retrofit solutions capable …
The impact of conversion on the risk of major complication following laparoscopic colonic surgery: an international, multicentre prospective audit.
2018
BACKGROUND: Laparoscopy has now been implemented as a standard of care for elective colonic resection around the world. During the adoption period, studies showed that conversion may be detrimental to patients, with poorer outcomes than both laparoscopic completed or planned open surgery. The primary aim of this study was to determine whether laparoscopic conversion was associated with a higher major complication rate than planned open surgery in contemporary, international practice.METHODS: Combined analysis of the European Society of Coloproctology 2017 and 2015 audits. Patients were included if they underwent elective resection of a colonic segment from the caecum to the rectosigmoid jun…
Association of mechanical bowel preparation with oral antibiotics and anastomotic leak following left sided colorectal resection: an international, m…
2018
INTRODUCTION: The optimal bowel preparation strategy to minimise the risk of anastomotic leak is yet to be determined. This study aimed to determine whether oral antibiotics combined with mechanical bowel preparation (MBP+Abx) was associated with a reduced risk of anastomotic leak when compared to mechanical bowel preparation alone (MBP) or no bowel preparation (NBP).METHODS: A pre-planned analysis of the European Society of Coloproctology (ESCP) 2017 Left Sided Colorectal Resection audit was performed. Patients undergoing elective left sided colonic or rectal resection with primary anastomosis between 1 January 2017 and 15 March 2017 by any operative approach were included. The primary out…
Logotipu semiotiskā analīze un auditorijas uztveres pētījums. 2018. gada Latvijas mīlētāko zīmolu topa piemērs
2019
Bakalaura tēma ir “Logotipu semiotiskā analīze un auditorijas uztveres pētījums. 2018. gada Latvijas mīlētāko zīmolu topa piemērs”. Darbā gaitā tika atlasīti 50 zīmolu logotipi, kuriem tika veikta semiotiskā analīze, kā arī tie tika izmantoti auditorijas uztveres pētījumā. Darba teorētiskajā daļā tika aplūkota logotipu vēsture, izcelsme kā arī to veidi. Tika aplūkota arī semiotika un iespējamie zīmju uztveršanas veidi, kā arī zīmju iedalījums pēc to nozīmes. Darba metodoloģiskajā un arī empīriskajā daļā, ir aplūkotas un pielietotas tādas pētniecības metodes kā semiotiskā analīze, interneta aptauja, fokusgrupas diskusija un intervija. Darba mērķis ir noskaidrot kā cilvēki uztver zīmolu logot…
Televīziju LTV un TV3 šovu producētā satura atbilstība auditorijas vajadzībām un interesēm
2018
Bakalaura darbā- Televīziju LTV un TV3 šovu producētā satura atbilstība auditorijas vajadzībām un interesēm- viens no darba galvenajiem mērķiem ir noskaidrot satura atbilstību LTV un TV3 šovu producētajam saturam, balstoties uz auditorijas vajadzībām un interesēm. Darba autorei šī tēma šķiet aktuāla, jo uzskata, ka ir interesanti salīdzināt tieši šo abu televīziju sabiedriskā medija- LTV un komerciālā medija- TV3 šovu piedāvāto saturu auditorijai, kā arī izpētīt ko no abu minēto televīzijas kanālu šovu producētajiem saturiem sagaida un vēlas skatīties auditorija. Darbs sastāv no trīs daļām- teorētiskajā daļā aprakstīta lietojuma un apmierinājuma teorija, producēšana, televīzijas šovi un aud…
Strangers on the board
2019
The internationalization of firms has led to boards becoming more international as well. In this study, we investigate the consequences of board internationalization. In particular, by drawing on research on language and board dynamics, we identify theory-based reasons why board internationalization could increase, or decrease, earnings management practices. We use agency theory, stressing how board internationalization may positively or negatively affect monitoring quality of boards. Next to agency theory, we use theories explaining how language differences in the boardroom complicates communication and how differences in language structures (referred to as linguistic relativity in the lit…
Modeling Listeners’ Emotional Response to Music
2012
An overview of the computational prediction of emotional responses to music is presented. Communication of emotions by music has received a great deal of attention during the last years and a large number of empirical studies have described the role of individual features (tempo, mode, articulation, timbre) in predicting the emotions suggested or invoked by the music. However, unlike the present work, relatively few studies have attempted to model continua of expressed emotions using a variety of musical features from audio-based representations in a correlation design. The construction of the computational model is divided into four separate phases, with a different focus for evaluation. T…
