Kultūras reāliju tulkošana no latviešu uz angļu valodu tekstos par latviešu dzīvestilu
2017
Maģistra darba nosaukums ir "Kultūras reāliju tulkošana no latviešu uz angļu valodu tekstos par latviešu dzīvesstilu." Šajā darbā tiek iztirzāta kultūras reālijas definīcija un klasifikācija, kā arī galvenās problēmas un stratēģijas kā tulkot kultūras reāliju, un sasniegt līdzvērtību mērķa valodā. Tiek apskatīta arī tulka kā vidutāja starp kultūrām loma. Lai redzētu, kā kultūras reālijas tiek tulkotas, ir izmantoti dažādi piemēri no drukātajiem tūristu ceļvežiem, grāmatām un internetā pieejamajiem materiāliem. Maģistra darbā tiek analizēts, kuras stratēģijas ir izmantotas un vai tās var izmantot arī konferenču tulki. Pētījumi ir vērsti uz divu veidu kultūras reālijām: tradicionālie latviešu…
Promoting the Cultural Understanding of a Student in a General Education School: Teachers’ Experiences and Challenges
2020
Cultural understanding is a basis for competence-oriented general education. Teachers are responsible for applied content and methods that are used to purposefully lead school students to that result.The aim of this study is to identify actual goals for the development of teacher education curriculum, professional development, and teaching aids by investigating in-service teachers’ challenges in the successful promotion of students’ cultural understanding in general schools.The readiness of teachers to promote the cultural understanding of primary school students was explored in a mixed-methods study. The findings indicated aspects that teachers consider relevant as well as the main problem…
L’engagement des chercheurs dans la vulgarisation scientifique
2012
International audience; Quelle attitude ont les chercheurs vis-à-vis de la vulgarisation scientifique ? Voilà une question que tout médiateur scientifique est amené à se poser. Elle intéresse aussi les gouvernements et les grandes institutions scientifiques qui incitent les chercheurs à communiquer auprès du grand public et cherchent des solutions pour améliorer cette communication.Nous avons recherché des études et des enquêtes qui, depuis 1992, auraient proposé des diagnostics sur l’attitude, l’intérêt et surtout l’engagement des chercheurs dans cette pratique de vulgarisation. Notre propos s’articulera autour d’une étude clé, publiée en 2007 par Ellen Poliakoff et Thomas L Webb qui s’int…
Computational Techniques for the Analysis of Small Signals in High-Statistics Neutrino Oscillation Experiments
2020
The current and upcoming generation of Very Large Volume Neutrino Telescopes – collecting unprecedented quantities of neutrino events – can be used to explore subtle effects in oscillation physics, such as (but not restricted to) the neutrino mass ordering. The sensitivity of an experiment to these effects can be estimated from Monte Carlo simulations. With the high number of events that will be collected, there is a trade-off between the computational expense of running such simulations and the inherent statistical uncertainty in the determined values. In such a scenario, it becomes impractical to produce and use adequately-sized sets of simulated events with traditional methods, such as M…
Intrinsic backgrounds from Rn and Kr in the XENON100 experiment
2018
In this paper, we describe the XENON100 data analyses used to assess the target-intrinsic background sources radon ([InlineMediaObject not available: see fulltext.]), thoron ([InlineMediaObject not available: see fulltext.]) and krypton ([InlineMediaObject not available: see fulltext.]). We detail the event selections of high-energy alpha particles and decay-specific delayed coincidences. We derive distributions of the individual radionuclides inside the detector and quantify their abundances during the main three science runs of the experiment over a period of ∼4years, from January 2010 to January 2014. We compare our results to external measurements of radon emanation and krypton concentr…
Time-domain effective-one-body gravitational waveforms for coalescing compact binaries with nonprecessing spins, tides and self-spin effects
2018
We present TEOBResumS, a new effective-one-body (EOB) waveform model for nonprecessing (spin-aligned) and tidally interacting compact binaries.Spin-orbit and spin-spin effects are blended together by making use of the concept of centrifugal EOB radius. The point-mass sector through merger and ringdown is informed by numerical relativity (NR) simulations of binary black holes (BBH) computed with the SpEC and BAM codes. An improved, NR-based phenomenological description of the postmerger waveform is developed.The tidal sector of TEOBResumS describes the dynamics of neutron star binaries up to merger and incorporates a resummed attractive potential motivated by recent advances in the post-Newt…
Models and Streams of Data Journalism
2015
This paper presents the initial results of a two-year research project, the Data Journalism Work Practices, which focuses on newsrooms in Finland, UK and US. Data journalism or data-driven journalism has been defined simply as journalism based on large data sets (or big data) Rogers 2011; Bounegru et al. 2012). According to our ongoing research on data journalism work methods, we can claim this has been an oversimplification. In this paper we will argue that all the brief definitions of data journalism lack nuances, and the multiple layers that contemporary data journalism already consists of in newsrooms. Based on six interviews of leading Finnish, American and British data journalists we …
Iontophoresis: electrorepulsion and electroosmosis.
2000
Over the last 10-15 years, the electrical enhancement of drug delivery across the skin has undergone intense investigation. During this period, considerable amounts of experimental data have been generated, and the successful enhancement of a diverse array of molecules has been achieved. Indeed, the commercial exploitation of the method can be envisaged within the next few years. Despite this progress, however, the mechanistic understanding of iontophoresis remains a challenging scientific question that is yet to be fully resolved. The routes of permeation under the influence of an applied electrical potential, and the molecular interactions of the transporting drug with these pathways, hav…
Crustacea Decapoda from Ustica (Southern Tyrrhenian Sea): species distribution and sampling approach.
2011
The decapod crustacean fauna of Ustica Island (Sicily, southern Tyrrhenian Sea) has been investigated in summer 2002 with the aid of many different sampling methods: suction device, pushnet, skid trawl, trammel net, traps, underwater observation, interviews. All the substrata occurring around the island from 0 to about -30 m were surveyed: midlittoral rock, infralittoral rock, pebbles, seagrass (Posidonia oceanica) bed, sand, detritic bottom, submerged cave. Fiftyseven species were collected in the investigated localities. Abundance and frequency of all species in the samples and in each surveyed biotope are given. The performance of each sampling method has been evaluated, in terms of numb…
Data-driven Interactive Multiobjective Optimization : Challenges and a Generic Multi-agent Architecture
2020
In many decision making problems, a decision maker needs computer support in finding a good compromise between multiple conflicting objectives that need to be optimized simultaneously. Interactive multiobjective optimization methods have a lot of potential for solving such problems. However, the growth of complexity in problem formulations and the abundance of data bring new challenges to be addressed by decision makers and method developers. On the other hand, advances in the field of artificial intelligence provide opportunities in this respect. We identify challenges and propose directions of addressing them in interactive multiobjective optimization methods with the help of multiple int…
