Associative Perception of Latvia as a Travel Destination in European Target Markets
2020
The image of the destination and its perception play an important role in distinguishing objectively comparable alternatives. The aim of the research was to find out the associative perceptions of Latvia as a tourism destination in Latvia’s target markets in Europe, as well as to investigate whether the current and potential Latvian tourism brands correspond with the associations of the people of these markets about holiday travel. The study involved data of three face-to-face surveys conducted in several places in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria in the summer of 2015, 2016, and 2017. The questionnaire was made to determine the recognition and the image of Latvia as tourism destination as…

Validez de instrumento para medir la competencia territorial. Matriz READI para la autoevaluación de territorios competentes
2021
El artículo presenta el diseño metodológico seguido para el análisis de la validez y fiabilidad de una matriz cuya finalidad es la de permitir a los territorios autoevaluar su grado de competencia potencial para la consecución de objetivos ligados al desarrollo local. Se ha seguido un diseño de estudio descriptivo de construcción de conceptos, dimensiones e indicadores y de verificación de escalas multidimensionales a través de análisis factorial y validez de constructo. El análisis cuantitativo realizado combinado con aportaciones cualitativas de personas expertas, concluye que la matriz es un instrumento válido y confiable para su cometido.
Main components of the corporative image of cultural organizations
2016
[EN] In the present research, we carry out an analysis of the corporate image of a cultural organization which aims tohighlight its role in order to design management strategies in the cultural field. We investigate what particular attributes are better assessed by the public and which dimensions compose the corporate image of a cultural organization. Based on the literature review, we made an in-depth interview to the programming manager of a cultural organization and also a descriptive survey on its audience through a structured questionnaire.The results of the analyses show that the corporate image of the cultural organization under study is positive, although someattributescan be improv…
Creencias sobre el aprendizaje de las ciencias de los estudiantes del máster de profesorado de enseñanza secundaria
2017
En este trabajo se muestran los resultados de un estudio empírico sobre las creencias de futuros docentes de enseñanza secundaria acerca de los procesos de aprendizaje de la ciencia, registradas mediante un cuestionario de escala likert que han cumplimentado 188 estudiantes del Máster de Profesorado de Educación Secundaria, de las especialidades de ciencia y tecnología. En primer lugar se han clasificado las diversas creencias por su relación con diferentes modelos didácticos y se ha realizadoun estudio descriptivo para conocer cuáles son las creencias más extendidas entre tales estudiantes. Posteriormente se ha desarrollado un análisis de las relaciones internas entre tales creencias y hem…
Complex ecological models with simple dynamics: From individuals to populations
1994
The aim of this work is to study complex ecological models exhibiting simple dynamics. We consider large scale systems which can be decomposed into weakly coupled subsystems. Perturbation Theory is used in order to get a reduced set of differential equations governing slow time varying global variables. As examples, we study the influence of the individual behaviour of animals in competition and predator-prey models. The animals are assumed to do many activities all day long such as searching for food of different types. The degree of competition as well as the predation pressure are dependent upon these activities. Preys are more vulnerable when doing some activities during which they are …

Algorithmic Information Theory and Computational Complexity
2013
We present examples where theorems on complexity of computation are proved using methods in algorithmic information theory. The first example is a non-effective construction of a language for which the size of any deterministic finite automaton exceeds the size of a probabilistic finite automaton with a bounded error exponentially. The second example refers to frequency computation. Frequency computation was introduced by Rose and McNaughton in early sixties and developed by Trakhtenbrot, Kinber, Degtev, Wechsung, Hinrichs and others. A transducer is a finite-state automaton with an input and an output. We consider the possibilities of probabilistic and frequency transducers and prove sever…
