ORIENTATION GUIDE: EVEREST 8848
Full text linkThe purpose of this thesis was to create an informative and clear orientation guide for new employees. The orientation guide was made for case company Everest 8848. The purpose of the orientation guide is to help and quicken new employee’s orientation process. The restaurant did not have a previous orientation guide which makes the guide useful asset in the upcoming orientation processes.
The thesis is both operational and research type of thesis as there are both features in the work. There are two theoretical parts in the thesis. The first part concentrates on orientation which creates the base for orientation guide and orientation checklist. The second part consists of restaurant industry’s regulations which were seen relevant for this specific company.
Empirical part consists of observation which is qualitative research method and orientation guide which is the operational part of the thesis. Orientation guide was created with data collected form authors observation at the work place. Theoretical information from the thesis was also shortly involved the orientation guide.Tämän opinnäytetyön aiheena oli luoda informatiivinen ja selkeä uuden työntekijän perehdytyskansio. Perehdytyskansio tehtiin kohdeyritykselle, Everest 8848 ravintolalle. Perehdytyskansion tarkoituksena on nopeuttaa ja auttaa uusien työntekijöiden perehdyttämisprosessia. Yrityksellä ei ollut aikaisempaa perehdytysopasta, joten opas tulee olemaan hyödyllinen seuraavissa perehdytysprosesseissa.
Opinnäytetyö on sekä toiminnallinen että tutkimuksellinen, sillä siinä on kummankin tutkimusmetodin piirteitä. Ensimmäisessä teoriakappaleessa keskitytään perehdyttämisen osa-alueisiin, jotka luovat pohjan perehdytyskansiolle sekä perehdytyksen muistilistalle. Toinen teoriakappale kertoo ravintola-alan säädöksistä, jotka koettiin olennaiseksi juuri kohdeyrityksen kannalta.
Empiirinen osuus rakentuu havainnoinnista, joka on yksi laadullisen tutkimuksen menetelmistä sekä perehdytyskansiosta, joka on työn toiminnallinen osuus. Perehdytyskansio luotiin opinnäytetyöntekijän havaintojen pohjalta, joita hän yrityksessä töissään ollessaan keräsi. Teoriaosuuden tietoja sisällytettiin myös lyhyesti perehdytyskansioon
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Att översätta hållbar utveckling : en fallstudie om miljöledning på 8848 Altitude
No full textDagens modemarknad är präglad av hög omsättning och låga priser vilket möjliggörs genom outsourcing av produktion till lågkostnadsländer, samtidigt som hållbar utveckling får ökat utrymme i samhällsdebatten. Modeföretag ställs därför inför dilemmat att kombinera användningen av denna affärsstrategi, och simultant säkerställa att de ökade krav på ansvarstagande som ställs av samhället uppfylls. SMEs har ett annat utgångsläge för miljöledning i försörjningskedjan, i jämförelse med större verksamheter. Då SMEs har en avgörande roll i modebranschen är det av största vikt att studera deras förutsättningar närmare. Vi ämnar bidra till denna utforskning genom att studera hur miljöledning fungerar på 8848 Altitude. Studiens syfte är att studera hur ett mindre modeföretag som outsourcar sin produktion tolkar och tillämpar miljöledning utifrån ett översättningsteoretiskt perspektiv. Studien har genomförts i form av en kvalitativ fallstudie på 8848 Altitude där semi-strukturerade intervjuer, deltagande observation samt dokumentanalys har varit metoderna för att samla empiriskt material bland företagets medarbetare samt deras konsult inom hållbarhet. Studiens resultat visar att extern legitimitet är den främsta drivkraften för 8848 Altitude som fokuserar på att åtgärda aktuella krav från intressenter. Likt andra SMEs har företaget informell organisation och kommunikation. Ledningen av hållbarhetsarbetet är differentierad i jämförelse med ledning av integrerade frågor.Program: Textilingenjörsutbildninge
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
