Profesiju izpētes metodes priekšmetā “Dizains un tehnoloģijas” skolēnu sagatavošanai tālākizglītības izvēlei

2021

Darba autori diplomdarbā “Profesiju izpētes metodes priekšmetā “Dizains un tehnoloģijas” skolēnu sagatavošanai tālākizglītības izvēlei” izstrādāja un aprobēja trīs veida metodes, kas balstītas veiktajā literatūras izpētē. Teorētiskajā daļā ir apskatītas skolēnu tālākās izglītības izvēles, to statistika un kādi projekti tiek piedāvāti Latvijā un pasaulē, lai veicinātu skolēnu izpratni par profesiju specifiku, kas palīdz skolēniem pieņemt lēmumus, kāda profesija viņus interesē vairāk un ko izvēlēties tālāk studēt. Pētījuma daļā tika izstrādāta anketa, lai noteiktu skolēnu izpratni par dažādajām prasmēm un zināšanām, kas integrējas vienā profesijā, un to, kur var apgūt šīs profesijas. Anketas …

Court Interpreting 2009: an undervalued and misunderstood profession? Or: will justice speak?

2010

The article addresses a number of topical issues relating to court interpreting. After examining a number of issues discussed among US interpreters in July 2009, it considers the provision of court interpreting in a number of different English-speaking jurisdictions, including the position of agencies. It presents the cost of a lack of judicial awareness of the issues involved in providing competent interpreting in legal proceedings, and looks at how rare languages are dealt with in the United States. It examines best practice and how this can quickly turn into worst practice. It considers the situation in Canada’s Province of Ontario, where a class action has been brought against the Minis…

Communicating environmental science beyond academia: Stylistic patterns of newsworthiness in popular science journalism

2017

Science communication in online media is a discursive domain where science-related content is often expressed through styles characteristic of popular journalism. This article aims to characterize some dominant stylistic patterns in magazine articles devoted to environmental issues by identifying the devices used to enhance newsworthiness, given the fact that for some readers environmental topics may no longer seem engaging. The analytic perspective is an adaptation of the newsworthiness framework that has been applied in news discourse studies. The material is a sample of the 38 most-read environment-oriented articles in the online version of the international science magazine New Scientis…

The Finland of Poetry Revisited Four Snapshots

2015

A poem is a condensation of signs and a method characteristic of every human being for investigating a shared reality. Accordingly, a human being also lives and exists poetically in this common world. This being so, the primacy of the mother tongue refers to the lived language, which mediates the possibility for us of carving out our own unique imprint on existence. Similarly, the native land signifies a milieu where a human being takes on a reality amidst other objects, surrounded by them and as one of them. Poetry creates harmony between past and present. peerReviewed

Sensory Reweighting During Bipedal Quiet Standing in Adolescents

2020

A cross-sectional, prospective, between-subjects design was used in this study to establish the differences in sensory reweighting of postural control among different ages during adolescence. A total of 153 adolescents (five age groups; 13–17 years old) performed bipedal standing in three sensory conditions (i.e., with visual restriction, vestibular disturbance, and proprioceptive disturbance). Center of pressure displacement signals were measured in mediolateral and anteroposterior directions to characterize reweighting in the sensory system in static postural control when sensory information is disturbed or restricted during adolescent growth. The results indicate a development of postura…

Test–retest reliability and responsiveness of centre of pressure measurements in patients with hip osteoarthritis

2015

International audience; Objective: The aim of this study was to determine a set of measures for the evaluation of balance in patients suffering from hip osteoarthritis (OA) that were both reliable and responsive to change.Design: Three groups of subjects; Healthy, hip OA patients without surgery, and hip OA with surgery (pre and post-surgery) were included in this study. Subjects had to perform balance tests in two positions: standard and narrowed stance. CoP-based measures test-retest reliability was assessed in hip OA without surgery group, responsiveness were assessed between all groups and between pre and postsurgery.Results: Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) values from hip OA w…

Changes in Physical Performance During 21 d of Military Field Training in Warfighters.

2018

Introduction Few studies have reported the amount of physical activity (PA) and its associations to physical performance of warfighters during military field training (MFT). The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in neuromuscular performance and PA among male Finnish Army conscripts during a 21-d MFT and to evaluate their recovery during 4 d after MFT. Methods Body composition and physical performance were measured four times during the study (before MFT (PRE), after 12 d (MID), post training (POST) and after 4 d of recovery (RECO)). PA was measured throughout MFT in a group of healthy young male conscripts (n=49) by using a tri-axial accelerometer. The study was approved by t…

Static postural control in children with developmental dyslexia

Tel.: +33 3 80 24 68 74; fax: +33 3 80 24 11 39.; International audience; The present investigation tries to better understand potential association and causal relationship between phonological and postural impairment due to developmental dyslexia. The study included 50 boys with developmental dyslexia and selected on the basis of their overall reading difficulties, and 42 control boys. Body sway during a quite standing posture eye open and eye closed on a force platform were tested in the two groups of subjects that were between 10 and 13 years of age. Analysis of classical parameters…

Interface properties of magnetic tunnel junctionLa0.7Sr0.3MnO3/SrTiO3superlattices studied by standing-wave excited photoemission spectroscopy

2010

The chemical and electronic-structure profiles of magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) La0.7Sr0.3MnO3/SrTiO3 (LSMO/STO) superlattices have been quantitatively determined via soft and hard x-ray standing-wave excited photoemission, x-ray absorption and x-ray reflectivity, in conjunction with x-ray optical and core-hole multiplet theoretical modeling. Epitaxial superlattice samples consisting of 48 and 120 bilayers of LSMO and STO, each nominally four unit cells thick, and still exhibiting LSMO ferromagnetism, were studied. By varying the incidence angle around the superlattice Bragg condition, the standing wave was moved vertically through the interfaces. By comparing experiment to x-ray optical c…
