Co-participatory multimodal intergenerational storytelling : preschool children’s relationship with modality creating elder inclusion
2021
The COVID-19 crisis has highlighted elderly people as a vulnerable and excluded community, and connecting to the younger social media generation requires a shift in intergenerational storytelling performance. Recent research on multimodality has emphasized its benefits for the interactional process in storytelling. This study examines three aspects of storytelling – participation, multimodality, and emotional interaction – and uses co-creation and multimodal discourse analysis to investigate two questions: (1) To what extent can intergenerational storytelling benefit older people’s community engagement? (2) In a globalized world, how do children’s relationships with modalities create new l…
Impact psychologique de la pandémie de COVID-19 sur les soignants en réanimation
2021
Alors que l’infection à SARS-COV-2 s’est rapidement propagée au niveau mondial, on a assisté à une mobilisation massive des soignants auprès des personnes infectées. En réanimation, les conditions de travail déjà habituellement difficiles se sont durcies, avec une augmentation forte de la charge de travail, une nécessaire et indispensable réorganisation des soins, des décisions complexes relatives à l’admission des patients et une modification de l’accueil des familles. Le tout dans un climat d’incertitude générale et d’insécurité personnelle. Cet article propose une mise au point sur l’impact psychologique de cette crise sur les soignants en réanimation et les possibles dispositifs d’accom…
Joint Audit, Audit Market Structure, and Consumer Surplus
2017
We use a structural application of the discrete choice model to investigate how the introduction of a joint audit policy would affect audit market structure and consumer surplus. We perform this policy evaluation by identifying demand fundamentals in a joint audit regime and applying them to a single audit regime. We find that a joint audit requirement has the potential to change the audit market structure substantially but that the effects are sensitive to the specific policy design. For example, small audit firms gain market share in a joint audit regime but only if an equal sharing of the workload between the two joint auditors is not required. Our counterfactual analysis reveals that th…
Spin-Wave Driven Bidirectional Domain Wall Motion in Kagome Antiferromagnets
2021
We predict a mechanism to controllably manipulate domain walls in kagome antiferromagnets via a single linearly polarized spin-wave source. We show by means of atomistic spin dynamics simulations of antiferromagnets with kagome structure that the speed and direction of the domain wall motion can be regulated by only tuning the frequency of the applied spin-wave. Starting from microscopics, we establish an effective action and derive the corresponding equations of motion for the spin-wave-driven domain wall. Our analytical calculations reveal that the coupling of two spin-wave modes inside the domain wall explains the frequency-dependent velocity of the spin texture. Such a highly tunable sp…
Change in internal communication in company X during the Covid-19 pandemic
2021
Maģistra darba “Iekšējās komunikācijas izmaiņas uzņēmumā X Covid – 19 pandēmijas laikā” mērķis ir noskaidrot, kādas izmaiņas ir notikušas uzņēmuma X iekšējā komunikācijā Covid – 19 pandēmijas laikā. Lai sasniegtu mērķi tika izvirzīta viena hipotēze un trīs pētnieciskie jautājumi. Šajā pētījumā, kā teorētiskais pamats tika izmantotas tīklotā individuālisma un histerēzes teorijas. Tika īstenota uzņēmuma X gadījuma analīze, kā arī analizēti Latvijas reprezentatīvas strādājošo aptaujas dati. Pētījumā tika iegūta informācija par to kādas izmaiņas ir notikušas uzņēmuma X iekšējā komunikācijā. Tāpat arī tika izpētīts ar kādiem izaicinājumiem darbinieki saskārās, strādājot attālināti, un kādi bija …
Covid-19 Anxiety Relationship with Emotional Intelligence and Burnout Clinical Subtypes Among Organizational Staff
2022
Maģistra darba “Covid-19 trauksmes saistība ar emocionālo intelektu un klīniskajiem izdegšanas apakštipiem organizāciju darbinieku vidū” mērķis ir noskaidrot vai un kādas saistības pastāv Covid-19 trauksmes, emocionālā intelekta un klīnisko izdegšanas apakštipu starpā. Papildus iepriekš minētajam, darba mērķis ir arī pārbaudīt hipotēzi, ka darbinieki, kuri strādā daļēji vai pilnībā attālināti, izjūt lielāku Covid-19 trauksmi, salīdzinot ar darbiniekiem, kuri ikdienā strādā klātienē. Pētījumā piedalījās 130 organizāciju darbinieki vecumā no 20 līdz 55 gadiem, no kuriem 56 strādā klātienē, 42 – attālināti, bet 32 - hibrīdajā modelī. Izmantotas trīs aptaujas - “Izdegšanas klīnisko apakštipu ap…
Experiences of using the ISBAR tool after an intervention: A focus group study among critical care nurses and anaesthesiologists.
2021
Objective The ISBAR tool is a structured approach to communication between healthcare professionals and refers to Identity, Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation. The objective of this study was to explore how critical care nurses and anaesthesiologists experience using the ISBAR tool in clinical practice. Design Three focus groups were conducted with a total of three anaesthesiologists and 14 critical care nurses from two hospitals in Norway after they had attended an intervention. Setting The intervention consisted of two days at a university, with a four-month interval between, attending resource lectures and simulation exercises focusing on the ISBAR tool. The focus grou…

Numerical analysis of composite plates with multiple delaminations subjected to uniaxial buckling load
2006
Abstract In this paper the buckling and post-buckling behaviour of unidirectional and cross-ply composite laminated plates with multiple delaminations has been studied. Finite elements analyses have been performed, using a linear buckling model, based on the solution of the eigenvalues problem, and a non-linear one, based on an incremental-iterative method. With non-linear method large displacements have been taken into account and also contact constraints between sublaminates have been added to avoid their interpenetration. It has been found that both delamination length and position and stacking sequence of the plies influence the critical load of the plate; furthermore, linear and non-li…
Moment-Axial Domain of Corroded R.C. Columns
2018
In the present paper, a simplified model to determine the moment-axial force domain of the cross-section of reinforced concrete columns subjected to corrosion process is presented. The model considers members with square and rectangular cross-sections and it accounts for cover spalling, buckling of longitudinal reinforcing bars, loss of bond of bar in tension, reduction of confinement pressures (due to the reduction of the area of stirrups and cracking of concrete induced by rust formation). The analytical expressions for prediction of the area reduction of steel, bond strength and critical load of longitudinal bars utilized were verified against experimental data available literature.
