Vajadzību analīze angļu valodas kursa skolas medmāsām izstrādei un mācīšanai
2021
Migrācijas rezultātā, arvien vairāk profesijās rodas situācijas, kurās nepieciešamas dažādu valodu zināšanas komunikācijai ar klientiem un, skolu medmāsu gadījumā – skolēniem, jeb pacientiem. Tā kā angļu valoda mūsdienās tiek uzskatīta par internacionālu valodu saziņai visā pasaulē, tāpēc šī Diplomdarba mērķis ir izpētīt, kāda vajadzību analīze būtu nepieciešama izstrādājot un mācot angļu valodas kursu skolu medmāsām. Lai sasniegtu izstrādāto mērķi, kursa autori veica medmāsu darba apraksta analīzi, skolu medmāsu anketēšanu, lai noskaidrotu vajadzības un vēlmes, interviju ar izvēlētajiem kursa dalībniekiem, dalībnieku zināšanu pārbaudi testā pēc kursa beigām, kāarīvēlvienudalībnieku anketēš…
The many faces of online community : Images and imaginings of togetherness on Imgur
2018
This article discusses the meaning and function of “community” as a discourse on the image-sharing website Imgur. The analysis shows that the community term has many meanings and serves as a shorthand for a wide variety of social practices, and these meanings are shaped by the experiences of social action leading to the use of the term. Based on ethnographic data, nexus analysis provides an understanding of how the interactions related to community on the site come to take place the way they do. In conceiving of these interactions as mediated discourse, the article provides a fresh approach to the long-established academic discussion on the definition of community, suggesting a new concepti…
Person reference as a device for constructing experiences as typical in group therapy.
2008
Sharing one's experiences is a crucial activity in group therapies. In such therapies, groups can be either constituted around one problem or goal common to all the clients, or the group can work as a place in which clients can learn from one another and share experiences whether their individual problems are similar or not. Almost all (psycho) therapy types have a group application, and groups are assumed to be rather efficient in psychological progressing (see, e.g. Corey, 1986; Wootton, 1977). In this article I will concentrate on one type of group therapy, namely the Minnesota model group therapy for addicts, and examine how the clients share experiences and, especially, how they constr…

2008
The use of the French adjective “malsain” (usually translated in English as “unhealthy,” “unwholesome” or “sick”) to judge a work of art has led me to question the relevance of this metaphor, the way this value is determined, the reasons which lead the subject to consume shocking material and the possibility to distinguish art from mere symptom. I consider the unhealthy, on the one hand, as a relation of transmission which produces an aesthetic based on metaphor and metonymy, and on the other, as a subjective value delivered by a self or a law, and I argue that, as it is entirely discursive, the unhealthy is in effect an uncanny metonymy. I show that the works under study represent and cond…
Ageing and consumption in Finland : the effect of age and life course stage on ecological, economical and self-indulgent consumption among late middl…
2017
Previous studies on ageing consumers have mainly focused on chronological age and generational values or studied ageing and consumption with cross-sectional data. Few quantitative studies exist that examine the effect of age together with life course on consumption using longitudinal data. To bridge this gap, the article examines ageing and attitudes towards consumption in Finland, focusing particularly on late middle-agers (46–60 year-olds) in comparison with young adults (18–30 year-olds) between 1999 and 2014. The article explores three consumption patterns based on attitudinal statements: ecological, economical and self-indulgent consumption. Through analysis of a nationally representat…
Associations of Physical Fitness and Body Composition Characteristics With Simulated Military Task Performance
2018
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the associations of physical fitness and body composition characteristics with anaerobic endurance performance, tested in the combat load using the occupationally relevant military simulation test (MST). Eighty-one male soldiers, deployed to a crisis management operation in the Middle East, volunteered for the study and participated in a test battery consisting measurements of muscle strength, body composition characteristics, endurance capacity, and MST. A Spearman correlational analysis revealed that the strongest variable, correlated with MST time, was the countermovement jump performed with the combat load (CMJ2) (rs = 20.66, p , 0.001). Among t…
DESIGNING AND IMPLEMENTING A BIG OPEN ONLINE COURSE BY USING A 3D VIRTUAL IMMERSIVE ENVIRONMENT – LESSONS LEARNED
2017
Open Education (OE) is a distance learning approach that was strategically chosen by the European Commission (EC) to encourage cost-effective training, upskilling and reskilling of large population groups and workforce with speed and flexibility. Institutions and businesses design and offer Open Online Courses (OOCs) to address skill gaps, organizational and societal needs. OOCs and especially Massive OOCs (MOOCs) are suffering from high rates of attrition, which is attributed to various factors such as learner isolation and lack of motivation to complete the course. Recommendations to address the retention gap in MOOCs include adopting a participation-driven approach, using game design tec…
New Health Advice: Health Forum Sites as a Change of Discourse Frame, from Doctor-to-Patient to User-to-User
2016
Health forum communities form support groups responding to the need for information. Participants in these communities nd a space in which they share experiences and feelings, and are able to recount their success stories and failures according to a ‘gather, share and learn’ paradigm. One of the main worries concerning these spaces has been the unmonitored information that is provided by users who do not/ cannot take responsibility for what they say. Previous studies were intended to explore how individuals with health issues use health-related online communities to access information and support. This research, on the other hand, examines the extent to which health advice may be conversati…
Coding emotions in computer-mediated communication: the example of YouTube comments
2018
Computer-mediated communication (CMC) is essentially text-based. This is generally said to result in a “paucity of paralinguistic and non-linguistic cues” (Bieswanger, 2013: 468), but it is also considered to be the main reason for the development of other characteristic non-verbal modalities, such as emoticons and emoji. How are, then, emotions expressed in such a specific context? Are verbal modalities as limited as they are said to be? Do non-verbal modalities complete or replace them? This paper will try to answer those questions using discourse analysis tools applied to a sample of comments on a YouTube video.
Vardarbības attēlojums elektroniskajās ziņās
2020
Tā kā mūsdienu sabiedrībā vardarbība ir nopietna sociāla problēma, tās atspoguļojums ziņās ir svarīgs. Cilvēki vēršas pie ziņām, meklējot jaunu informāciju, un viņu viedoklis bieži veidojas ziņu iespaidā, tādējādi tas, kā vardarbīgas darbības tajās tiek aprakstītas, ietekmē sabiedrības izpratni par vardarbību. Tāpēc pētījuma mērķis bija izpētīt diskursīvas operācijas, kas mazina vardarbību, un to atrašanās vietu ziņu rakstos par Greisas Milleinas slepkavības tiesas procesu. Diskursa analītiskā metode tika izmantota, lai noteiktu ziņu rakstu funkcionālos elementus, un atklātu diskursīvas darbības, kas mīkstina vardarbību. Deskriptīvā metode un kontentanalīze tika izmantotas, lai iegūtu dziļā…
