Professional ethics of prosecutors in the context of disclosure
No full textProfesionālā ētika ir Prokuratūras likumā nostiprināts prokuroru darbības pamatprincips. Bakalaura darba mērķis ir izpētīt Latvijas prokuroru profesionālās ētikas tiesisko ietvaru un praksi informācijas atklātības kontekstā, noskaidrojot, kā prokurori ievēro ētiku un vai sabiedrībai pārkāpumu izvērtēšanas process ir pietiekami caurskatāms un atklāts. Pētījums atklāj trūkumus esošajā kārtībā, kas nenodrošina sabiedrības tiesības uz pienācīgu informāciju par prokuroru profesionālo ētiku. Tie lielā mērā saistās ar nepilnībām Latvijas Prokuroru ētikas kodeksa piemērošanas regulējumā. Tādēļ autors rosina nodalīt kārtību, kādā kodekss tiek piemērots, no prokuroru disciplināratbildības vispārējās izvērtēšanas kārtības.Professional ethics is a fundamental principle of prosecutors' work established by law. The aim of the bachelor's thesis is to study the legal framework and practice of professional ethics of Latvian prosecutors in the context of information openness. The study reveals problems in the existing procedure, which does not ensure the public's right to information about the professional ethics of prosecutors. They are largely related to shortcomings in the regulation of the application of the Latvian Code of Ethics for Prosecutors. Therefore, the author suggests separating the procedure for applying the code from the general procedure for evaluating the disciplinary liability of prosecutors
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
Latvian athletes in the social network Instagram: masculinity aspect analysis
No full textBakalaura darba tēma ir “Latvijas sportisti sociālajā tīklā Instagram: maskulinitātes aspektu analīze”. Darba struktūra sastāv no ievada, teorētiskās, metodoloģiskās, empīriskās daļas un secinājumiem. Darba pētāmā problēma - Latvijas sportistu sevis prezentēšana sociālajā tīklā Instagram, ar kādiem paņēmieniem tiek izrādīta maskulinitāte. Darba mērķis ir noskaidrot, kā Latvijā un arī pasaulē zināmi sportisti sevi izrāda sociālajā tīklā Instagram, kā arī atlasīt pētījumam nepieciešamo teorētisko literatūru. Lai izprastu sevis prezentēšanas procesus, darba teorētiskajā pamatojumā tiks apskatīta literatūra par Ervinga Gofmaņa dramaturģisko pieeju. Lai analizētu sevis prezentēšanu caur fotogrāfijām, tiks apskatīta literatūra par fotogrāfijām un vizuālo vēstījumu. Tiek aplūkota teorija par internetu, sociālajiem tīkliem un Instagram, lai izprastu internetā notiekošos procesus. Analizēti tiks šādu sportistu Instagram profili: Zemgus Girgensons, Māris Štrombergs, Viesturs Saldavs, Kaspars Kambala, Mairis Briedis, Kristaps Porziņģis, Kaspars Saulietis, Miks Indrašis, Pauls Jonass un Mārtiņš Egle. Lai analizētu sportistu ievietoto saturu Instagram, tiks izmantota kvalitatīvā kontentanalīze. Daļēji strukturēta intervija tiks izmantota, lai noskaidrotu sportistu Instagram lietošanas iemeslus un izpratni par sevis izrādīšanu. Pēc tam daļēji strukturētās intervijas dati tiks salīdzināti ar kvalitatīvās kontentanalīzes datiem.The title of this bachelor is “Latvian athletes in the social network Instagram: masculinity aspect analysis”. Structure of this work consists of introduction, theoretical, methodological, empirical part and conclusion. The main problem is Latvian athletes self-presentation in social network Instagram, and how it affects society. The aim is to research how popular Latvian athletes represents them selves in social network Instagram, what they are showing off, also the aim is to collect and read theoretical literature. To understand the processes of self-presentation author will review literature of Erving Goffman dramaturgical approach. To analyze and understand self-presentation through photographies author will use theoretical literature about visual message of photographies. Also will be used literature about internet, social network and Instagram, to understand these processes. In empirical part will be analyzed following profiles: Zemgus Girgensons, Maris Strombergs, Viesturs Saldavs, Kaspars Kambala, Mairis Briedis, Kristaps Porzingis, Kaspars Saulietis, Miks Indrasis, Pauls Jonass and Martins Egle. To analyze these profiles will be used research methods of qualitative visual content analyses and semi-structured interview
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
