A bibliometric analysis of cultural heritage research in the humanities: The Web of Science as a tool of knowledge management

2023

AbstractSubstantial research on the topic of cultural heritage has been conducted over the past two decades. At the same time, the overall output volume of journals and citation metrics have become important parameters in assessing and ranking researchers’ performance. Even though the scholarly interest in cultural heritage has recently increased world-wide, a comprehensive analysis of the publication output volume and its correlation to the shift in the cultural heritage regime starting in 2003 is still lacking. The article aims to understand the role of Web of Science (WOS) as a tool of knowledge management in academia by drawing on the scholarly output volume, the patterns displayed by t…

Affordances and Agential Realism : A Relational Ontology for a Relational Theory

2018

Relational view of affordance theory has emerged as a viable theory in Information Systems (IS) research to explain variation in IS use. According to this theory, what a specific person can achieve with a technology is neither inherent in the person himself nor on the technology but emerges from their interaction. Despite that such relational view implies relational ontology, the ontological foundations have been insufficiently theorized which limits both its practical and theoretical applicability and explanatory power. In this paper, I suggest that Karen Barad’s relational ontology, known as agential realism, provides coherent and solid foundations for affordances that are especially suit…

Uzticēšanās tiesnešiem un sociālā cinisma saistības

2019

Pētījums apskata uzticēšanos tiesnešiem saistībā ar sociālo cinismu. Hipotēze, ka starp šiem konstruktiem pastāv negatīva korelācija, ir pārbaudīta 185 Latvijas sabiedrības pārstāvju izlasē. Papildus pētot piedēvēto sociālo cinismu un piedēvēto uzticēšanos, pētījumā iekļauta arī 78 Latvijas tiesnešu izlase. Pārbaudīti jautājumi par saistībām starp izlašu sociālo cinismu un piedēvēto cinismu, starp piedēvēto cinismu un uzticēšanos. Tāpat ir apskatīta uzticēšanās tiesnešiem sabiedrības pārstāvju izlases apakšgrupās, kas izveidotas, par kritērijiem izmantojot pastarpinātu vai nepastarpinātu saskarsmi ar jurisprudenci un tiesām. Pētījumā izmantota Sociālo aksiomu aptaujas daļa, kas attiecas uz …

The adaptations to tube-dwelling life of Propsilocerus akamusi (Diptera: Chironomidae) larvae and its eutrophication-tolerant mechanisms

2019

Propsilocerus akamusi (Diptera: Chironomidae) is a dominant macroinvertebrate species in many eutrophic lakes in subtropical and temperate zones. P. akamusi larvae can migrate deep into the sediment (>30 cm) during summer where is no oxygen. However, to our knowledge, the specific adaptive tactics of its tube-dwelling life (>30 cm) and underlying mechanisms why this species is favored by nutrient-rich lakes remain limited. With the understanding above-mentioned issues, we can provide important information for the development of sensitive biomonitoring. We examined monthly morphological dynamics and physiological adaptations of P. akamusi to anoxic conditions, and environmental relationships…

Ulkomaantyökomennuksille mukaan muuttaneet suomalaisnaiset kertovat kokemuksistaan

2006

The objective of this qualitative study is to reveal the discursive reality of Finnish women, who have chosen to follow their husbands to expatriate assignments. The research material includes interviews of seventeen (17) Finnish housewives who lived in Singapore in 1999. The primary theoretical framework of the study is a social-constructive view, in which the reality is seen to have been constructed through meanings that create and maintain cultural practices, social roles and institutions. Gender is interpreted as produced socially, politically and in language. Human beings in the study exist as cultural and social beings with sex. An underlying assumption of the analysis is that the wom…

Changes in Spatial Diversity of the Standard of Living of Poland’s Population in 2003-2012

2016

Cel Osiągany w poszczególnych krajach i ich regionach poziom życia ludności w dużej mierze zależy od poziomu rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego jaki prezentuje dane państwo. W przypadku większości krajów rozwiniętych i rozwijających się ogólny poziom życia społeczeństw ulega poprawie. Jednocześnie wzrasta dystans pomiędzy krajami i regionami o najniższym i najwyższym poziomie rozwoju społecznego. W Polsce m.in. ze względów kulturowych, historycznych, społecznych i ekonomicznych poziom życia ludności zamieszkującej różne regiony (województwa) jest odmienny. Polska, podobnie jak inne kraje członkowskie Unii Europejskiej (UE), podejmuje działania, których celem jest zniwelowanie różnic w poziomie…

Thermodynamic and spectroscopic study of the binding of dimethyltin(IV) by citrate at 25°C

2006

Thermodynamic (potentiometric and calorimetric) and spectroscopic ( 1 H NMR, 119 Sn Mossbauer) studies were performed in aqueous solution in order to characterize the interaction of dimethyltin(IV) cation with citrate ligand. Six species {(CH 3 ) 2 Sn(cit) - ; [(CH 3 ) 2 Sn] 2 (cit) 2 2- ; (CH 3 ) 2 Sn(cit)H 0 ; (CH 3 ) 2 Sn(cit)OH 2- ; [(CH 3 ) 2 Sn] 2 (cit)OH 0 ; [(CH 3 ) 2 Sn] 2 (cit)(OH) 2 - } were found. All the species formed in this system are quite stable and formation percentages are fairly high. For example, at pH = 7.5 and C (CH3)2Sn = C cit = 10 mmol l -1 , E% for [(CH 3 ) 2 Sn] 2 (cit)(OH) 2 - and (CH 3 ) 2 Sn(cit)OH 2- species reaches 65%. Overall thermodynamic parameters obta…
