Probing pairing correlations in Sn isotopes using Richardson-Gaudin integrability
Full text linkPairing correlations in the even-even A = 102 − 130 Sn isotopes are discussed, based on the Richardson-Gaudin variables in an exact Woods-Saxon plus reduced BCS pairing framework. The integrability of the model sheds light on the pairing correlations, in particular on the previously reported sub-shell structure
Maahanmuuttajaopiskelijoiden opiskeluun vaikuttavat tekijät LAB-ammattikorkeakoulussa Lappeenrannassa
Full text linkTämän opinnäytetyön aihe on ajankohtainen koska sitä ei ole tutkittu LAB-ammattikorkeakoulussa. Tarkoituksena on kuvata maahanmuuttajaopiskelijoiden kokemuksia sairaanhoitajaksi ja terveydenhoitajaksi opiskelemisesta LAB-ammattikorkeakoulussa Lappeenrannassa. Tavoitteena on tuoda tietoa maahanmuuttajien opiskelua estävistä ja edistävistä tekijöistä ja niiden vaikutuksista opiskeluun sekä siitä, miten vuorovaikutus vaikuttaa opiskelussa menestymiseen ja minkälaisia kokemuksia opiskelijoilla on opintomenetelmistä.
Opinnäytetyön kohderyhmänä ovat maahanmuuttajat, jotka opiskelevat sairaan- ja terveydenhoitajiksi Lappeenrannassa LAB-ammattikorkeakoulussa, sosiaali- ja terveysalalla. Tutkimuksen kohderyhmään kuuluvat ne maahanmuuttajaopiskelijat, jotka opiskelevat suomalaistaustaisten opiskelijoiden kanssa samassa ryhmässä. Aineisto kerättiin yksilöhaastatteluiden avulla. Haastatteluihin osallistui kolme opiskelijaa. Aineiston analysoinnissa käytettiin sisällönanalyysia. Sisällönanalyysin yhteydessä aineisto analysoitiin teemoittelemalla.
Tutkimuksen tuloksien mukaan tuli esille kaksi opiskeluun vaikuttavaa päätekijääluokkaa: opiskelua tukevat tekijät ja opiskelua vaikeuttavat tekijät. Opiskelua tukevat tekijät edistävät oppimista ja sen seurauksena on nähtävissä oman motivaation kautta tapahtunutta onnistumista. Opiskelua vaikeuttavat tekijät estävät oppimista, mikä voi johtaa opiskelun keskeyttämiseen. Maahanmuuttajaopiskelijoiden opiskelua estävien tekijöiden huomioiminen ja niiden hoitaminen helpottaa ja myötävaikuttaa koko koulutuksen onnistumista ja sen kautta maahanmuuttajaopiskelijoiden elämän laadun parantumista suomalaisessa yhteiskunnassa

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
A New View on Social Adaptation of the Military, Discharged from Military Service
Full text linkAbstractThe research in this report are directed to the defensibility of the idea of seeking a new approach to social adaptation of the military, exempted from military service, received in stock and their families through the introduction of socio- pedagogical component in the process of retraining and career in civilian life. Accordingly, the highlights are the target and instrumental aspects management process of social adaptation and on this basis the rationalization of management decisions to enhance competitiveness of soldiers crossed into stock and maximum realization of their creative scientific and practical potential
COST EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSES MODELS IN THE DEFENCE SYSTEM IN BULGARIA
Full text linkThe thesis resulting from the research on the „costs - effects” relation is the principle of economic efficiency of defence capabilities. At first glance, the arguments in this direction are well-known and popular in crisis situations of various nature, including the current financial and economic crisis in the country, the question about the cost of public welfare - security and defence is debatable. This cost is manifested through the defence capabilities of a country. In the new security environment the compilation of a National Defence Strategy is a priority of the Defence Ministry, which has more and more limited resources. This means that they should be treated as an economic activity. An economic activity is considered "any purposeful activity, allocating and combining scarce resources among alternatives, making it possible to maximize the outcomes and minimize costs." The ratio between the costs and benefits of a given resource or combination of resources to achieve a pre -defined objective is pushed to the forefront and the rationalization of management decisions is based on it. This necessitates a cost effectiveness analysis hence the evaluation of the outcomes (benefits) is manifested in the „cost - effect (benefit)” analyses
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
