The goal of the diploma thesis is to pro-mote the understanding of color in visual art lessons in the 3rd grade. In the first chapter, the author examines the study of colors, explores in depth the perception of colors and the development of the system, color theory, as well as the symbol-ic meaning of color in works of art. The second chapter is devoted to the analysis of regulatory documents and pedagog-ical literature. There, the author examines the literature of the learning process and analyses normative documents, according to the set of tasks. The third described and set of tasks "Color, its shade and meaning" for visual art les-sons in the 3rd grade. In this chapter, the author describes the creation of a set of tasks, the teaching methods used in the learning process, the approbation of the set of tasks and the analysis of the results achieved by the students. At the end, the author's conclusions about the results provided by the students of the task set "Colour, its shades and meaning" are answered, the research question is answered - with what learning tasks can the understanding of color be promoted in visual art classes in the 3rd grade. The developed sets of tasks were successfully approved in the 3rd grade of Ogre X elementary school. The thesis consists of three chapters and ten subsections, three appendices.

Lai sasniegtu izvirzīto mērķi, tika izmantotas divas pētnieciskās metodes: kvantitatīvā kontentanalīze un aptaujas pētījums.
Maģistra darba teorētiskajā daļā aplūkots sociālā mārketinga konceptuālais ietvars, īpašu uzmanību veltot komunikācijas aspektam, kā arī sociālā mārketinga komunikācijas kampaņu ietekmes novērtēšanai. Empīriskā pētījuma ietvaros tika analizētas publikācijas nacionālajos drukātajos preses izdevumos, kā arī raksti interneta ziņu portālos, bet pētījuma aptaujas rezultāti analizēti pēc Rimala, Floras un Skuleres izstrādātā informatīvās kampaņas ietekmes novērtēšanas modeļa. Darbā izvirzītās hipotēzes par dzemdes kakla ļaundabīgo audzēju savlaicīgas diagnostikas programmas informatīvās kampaņas ietekmi tika apstiprinātas tikai daļēji – tieša kampaņas ietekme netika konstatēta.

Two research methods were used to achieve this goal: a quantitative content analysis and questionnaire survey.
The conceptual framework of social marketing, with special emphasis on the communication aspect, as well as on the influence assessment of a social marketing communications campaign is explored in the theoretical part of this master’s thesis. Publications in national newspapers, as well as articles in the Internet news sites have been analyzed in the empirical part of the paper. The results of questionnaire survey have been analyzed according to informative campaign’s influence assessment model developed by Rimal, Flora and Schooler. The hypotheses advanced about the informative cervical cancer early diagnostics program's campaign were approved only in part – direct influence of the campaign was not detected.
Master's thesis consists of four parts: theoretical, methodological, empirical and analytical parts, followed by an appendix with the images, table of the content analysis and data obtained from the study questionnaire analysis – tables.
Keywords: social marketing, social marketing communications, influence of informative campaign, content analysis, Snapshots questionnaire survey

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
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

This article analyses the inhabitants’ and employers\u27 responses to the questions about the basic knowledge of mathematics assessment. In the study used self-assessment method, so the results are based on respondents\u27 views
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

Ilze Balode doctoral thesis
“Econometric Regularities of Income and Consumption
Expenditure of Latvian Households”
The aim of the doctoral thesis is to acquire new econometric regularities of income
and consumption expenditure of Latvian households employing the econometric
methods and models at the same time expanding the implements of econometric
methods and models used in the research. With the help of kernel density, Lorenz
function and Gini index there are acquired the results of the distribution of income
and consumption expenditure. There is introduced the concept of Engel multifunction
and carried out the research with the method of the main components. By using
Lorenz function and concentration functios estimations of elasticities of consumption
groups have been acquired. There is offered and approbated the method for
determining the structure trend of the consumption expenditure. Latvia households are
classified according to consumption expenditure structure using cluster analysis and
discriminant analysis. The results are obtained on the choice of appropriate form of
the demand system, on demand functions of Latvia households estimated in the form
of almost ideal demand system, and on the elasticities of the demand expenditure and
prices.
Key words: households, income, consumption expenditure, the structure of
consumption expenditure, kernel density, demand system, demand elasticitie
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
