Maruta Sīle Pētījuma mērķis: Pētīt pētniecisko prasmju pilnveides iespējas dabas mācību jomas centrā četru gadu veciem bērniem. Pētījuma uzdevumi: 1.Analizēt zinātniskās teorijas par pētnieciskajām prasmēm, 2. Raksturot pētnieciskās prasmes četrgadīgiem bērniem, 3. Organizēt empīrisko pētījumu un pamatot metožu izvēli, 4. Analizēt empīriskā pētījuma iegūtos datus. Darba ietvaros tika organizēts un veikts empīriskais pētījums pirmsskolas izglītības iestādē “X” par pētniecisko prasmju pilnveides iespējām dabas zinību mācību jomā. Pētījumā piedalījās 15 bērni vecumā no 4 līdz 4,6 gadiem. Sākotnēji tika noteikts bērnu pētniecisko prasmju līmenis, pēc tam tika izstrādāti un aprobēti pedagoģiskie paņēmieni bērnu pētniecisko prasmju pilnveidei. Pēc izstrādātajām metodēm, kuru pamatā bija ievērot bērna iepriekšējā dzīves pieredzi, bērnu viedokļu noskaidrošana un grūtības pakāpes ievērošana atbilstoši vecumam, var secināt, ka bērnu pētnieciskās prasmes rezultātā ir uzlabojušās. Salīdzinājumā ar pētījuma sākuma datiem, kad 60% bērnu grupā bija zems un 40% bērnu bija vidējs pētniecisko prasmju līmenis, pētījuma noslēgumā 7% zems, 73% vidējs un 20% augsts līmenis.

Author of the work: Ivanda Balsa Scientific supervisor: professor.Dr.paed. Maruta Sīle Aim of the research: To study the possibilities of improving research skills in the nature center for four-year-old children. Research tasks: •to analyze scientific theories about research skills, •to describe research skills for four-year-old children, •to organize research and justify the choice of methods, •analyze the obtained data. Volume of qualification work: the volume of qualification work is 45 pages. (excluding appendices), 7 tables, 5 figures, 44 references and 3 appendices were used in the work. Within the framework of the work, an empirical study was organized and conducted in the pre-school educational institution “X” on the possibilities of improving research skills in the field of natural sciences. The study involved 15 children aged 4 to 4.6 years. Initially, the level of children's research skills was determined, then methods were developed for the improvement of children's research skills in the field of natural sciences. According to the developed methods, which were based on taking into account the child's previous life experience, expressing the child's opinion and the degree of difficulty according to age, it can be concluded that the children's research skills have improved. Compared to the baseline data, 60% of the children in the group had a low level of research skills and 40% had a medium level of research skills, but at the end of the study 7% were low, 73% were medium, and 20% were high.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
