Kvalifikācijas daba vadītāja: Mg.sc.edu. Dina Berloviene.
Masieri savā praktiskajā darbībā saskaras ar paaugstinātu fizisko un emocionālo slodzi (La Plante, 2013). Īpaši savas karjeras sākumā, sakaroties ar veselības problēmām un profesionālo izdegšanu, nozīmīgs skaits masāžas speciālistu pārtrauc praktisko darbību (Lyons, 2016). Tāpēc kvalifikācijas darba izstrādei tika izvirzīts mērķis noskaidrot darbaspēju saglabāšanas noteicošos faktorus, iespējas un metodes masiera praktiskajā darbībā.
Tika izstrādāta teorētiskā daļa, kura sastāv no 2 nodaļām: Darbaspēju noteicošie faktori masiera profesionālajā darbībā; Profesionālie veselības riski masiera darbā un to novēršanas iespējas. Otrajai nodaļai ir izdalītas 2 apakšnodaļas: Fiziskās veselības riski; Mentālās veselības riski.
Darba izstrādes gaitā tika veikts pētījums, kurš norisinājās 3 posmos.
Pirmajā posmā tika veiktas daļēji strukturētas intervijas ar praktizējošiem masieriem. Otrajā posmā iegūtie dati tika sistematizēti. Trešajā posmā dati tika analizēti un interpretēti.
Pētījuma veikšanai kā pētījuma instruments tika izmantots autores izstrādāts daļēji strukturētas intervijas plāns, kurš saturēja gan slēgtus, gan atvērtus jautājumus.
Tika intervēti 8 aktīvi praktizējoši masieri, kuru darba stāžs masiera profesijā ir vismaz 7 gadi.
Pētījuma rezultātā tika secināts, ka masiera darbaspējas ir daudzdimensionāls konstrukts, kur visi komponenti ir savstarpēji cieši saistīti un izriet viens no otra. Vienlīdz svarīga ir masiera veselība, apmierinātība ar darbu, darba apstākļi un profesionālā pilnveide.

Massage therapists face increased physical and emotional stress in their practice (La Plante, 2013). Especially at the beginning of their career, a significant number of massage therapists stop practicing when faced with health problems and professional burnout (Lyons, 2016). Therefore, the aim of the qualification work was to investigate the determinants, opportunities and methods of maintaining work capacity among massage therapists in practice.
The theoretical part was developed, which consists of 2 chapters: Determinants of work capacity in the professional work of a massage therapist; Occupational health risks in the work of a massage therapist and possibilities of their prevention. Chapter 2 has 2 subsections: physical health risks; mental health risks.
The study was carried out in 3 stages.
In the first stage, semi-structured interviews were conducted with practicing massage therapists. In the second phase, the data were systematised. In the third phase, the data were analysed and interpreted.
A semi-structured interview plan, developed by the author, containing both closed and open-ended questions, was used as the research instrument.
8 actively practicing massage therapists with at least 7 years of experience in the massage profession were interviewed.
The study concluded that massage therapist performance is a multidimensional construct, where all components are interrelated and interdependent. Health, job satisfaction, working conditions and professional development are equally important.
The volume of the work is 37 pages and it has 13 annexes. There are 12 figures, 17 sources of information, 13 of which are in English and 4 in Latvian
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
