    Teabehaldus on organisatsioonile oluline mitmel põhjusel nagu näiteks tõhus info kasutamine: organisatsioonid koguvad suures koguses teavet erinevatest allikatest, sealhulgas klientidelt, partneritelt, sisemistest süsteemidest jne. Hästi korraldatud teabehaldus võimaldab sellel infol muutuda kasulikuks ressursiks, mida saab kasutada strateegiliste otsuste tegemiseks ja äriprotsesside parendamiseks. Otsuste tegemisel: juhtimisotsused põhinevad sageli olemasolevatel andmetel ja teabel. Korraldatud teabehaldus tagab, et juhtidel ja otsustajatel on juurdepääs ajakohasele, täpsele ja usaldusväärsele teabele, mis võimaldab neil teha teadlikke ja hästi informeeritud otsuseid. Töötajate tõhusus: Hästi korraldatud teabehaldus võimaldab töötajatel kiiresti leida vajalikku teavet ja dokumente. See suurendab nende tõhusust ja tootlikkust, kuna väheneb aeg, mis kulub teabe otsimisele ja töötlemisele. Andmekaitse ja turvalisus: organisatsioonide jaoks on oluline tagada nende kogutud andmete turvalisus ja konfidentsiaalsus. Teabehaldussüsteemid aitavad rakendada ja jälgida turvameetmeid, et kaitsta andmeid volitamata juurdepääsu ja lekke eest. Klienditeenindus: kiire ja täpne info kättesaadavus on oluline ka klienditeeninduse seisukohalt. Korraldatud teabehaldus võimaldab ettevõtetel paremini mõista klientide vajadusi ja pakkuda neile kiiremat ja tõhusamat teenindust. Kokkuvõttes võimaldab hästi korraldatud teabehaldus organisatsioonidel tõhusamalt toimida, paremini juhtida riske, suurendada töötajate tootlikkust ning pakkuda paremat teenust nii sisemistele kui ka välistele huvigruppidele. Lõputöö eesmärk oli kaardistada teabehalduse hetkeolukord, et tuua välja järeldused ja teha ettepanekud selle vastavusse viimiseks ISO 9001:2015 standardiga. Eesmärgi täitmiseks anti ülevaade teoreetilistest lähtekohtadest ja standardist. Analüüsiti hetkeolukorda ja tulemuseks loodi dokumendihalduse juhend, dokumendi liigitusskeem ja teabevahetuse protsessi kirjeldus. Lisaks tegi autor ettevõtte teabehalduse parendamiseks muudatusettepanekuid. Peamine probleem, miks eelnimetatud dokumendid loodi oli, et ettevõtte teabehaldus oli reguleerimata ja ettevõtte soovib kasutusele võtta ISO 9001:2015 standardit, mis näeb ette teabe dokumenteerimist ja haldamist ja on protsessikeskne standard. Lõputöö eesmärk täideti läbi liigitusskeemi, teabevahetuse protsessi kirjelduse ja dokumendihalduse juhendi koostamise loomisega. Analüüsi tulemusena tehti parendusettepanekud, et parendada ettevõtte teabehalduse korraldamist.The title of the thesis is information management according to the ISO9001:2015 standard in an energy company. The relevance lies in clause 7.5 of ISO 9001:2015, which requires that the organization must: retain documented information to the extent necessary to support the operation of processes, and retain documented information to the extent necessary to ensure that processes are carried out as planned. (ISO 9001:2015, 2015) The aim of the thesis is to find out the current situation of information management in order to draw conclusions and make proposals for its alignment with the ISO 9001:2015 standard. To fulfill the goal, the following tasks were set: ● outline the principles of organizing information management based on theoretical sources; ● find out the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 for the organization of information management and documentation of information in order to create a theoretical framework for conducting a thesis study; ● prepare a suitable methodology for conducting an empirical study; ● map and analyze the current situation of information management in order to clarify the requirements for documented information based on the ISO 9001:2015 standard; ● analyze the maturity level of information management in order to prepare basic documents regulating the organization of information management, if necessary; ● draw conclusions and, if necessary, make proposals to align information management with the ISO 9001:2015 standard. The research consists of three parts. In the first chapter, the author provides an overview of theoretical positions on information management and the ISO 9001:2015 standard. The second part introduces the methodology of the empirical study and the sample. The third sub-chapter gives an overview of the results of the study and makes suggestions for improvement. The subject company does not have an information management procedure and they do not have established who is responsible for what. The company wants to adopt the ISO 9001:2015 standard, which establishes specific requirements for information management. In order to align the company's information management with the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 and to create a document management guide, document classification scheme and description of the information exchange process for the company. For this purpose, document observation and management group interviews were conducted in the company. When analyzing the results, the interview answers are compared with the results of the observation and with the requirements of the ISO 9001: 2015 standard. As part of the thesis, a document classification scheme, a document management guide, and a description of the information exchange process will be created for the company

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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 PDF
    We 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

    We 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 text
    In 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.
