Odgovorna raba kemikalij v industriji
Full text linkO kemikalijah in ravnanju z njimi nas izobražujejo že v času šolanja in kasneje na specifičnih delovnih mestih, če se tam zaposlimo. O tem, kakšen odnos in pogled na kemikalije imajo ljudje in ali z njimi odgovorno ravnajo, je na voljo nekaj raziskav, kakšen pa je odnos in pogled na kemikalije ljudi, ki so z njimi v stiku na dnevni ravni, na delovnem mestu, pa ni tako dobro raziskano. Namen diplomskega dela je bilo raziskati, kako odgovorno ter kakšen odnos in pogled na kemikalije imajo zaposleni v kemijski industriji v Sloveniji.
Raziskava o slednjem je potekala med ljudmi v kemijski industriji s pomočjo anketnega vprašalnika, ki sem ga pripravila ob pomoči mentorice doc. dr. Barbare Novosel in doc. dr. Marije Molan. Anketni vprašalnik je sestavljalo 32 vprašanj, od katerih je bilo nekaj splošnih o spolu, starosti in izobrazbi, sledila pa so jim vprašanja, povezana s kemikalijami, kot so ali uporabljajo kemikalije, kako se pred njimi zaščitijo, na kaj so pozorni pri nakupu izdelkov v trgovini, ali poznajo učinke določenih kemikalij in tako dalje. Iz pridobljenih rezultatov vprašalnika je bilo raziskano, kakšni so splošni odgovori, ali je razlika med njimi glede na spol, starost ali izobrazbo anketiranih in ali je možno iz že obstoječih raziskav z laiki razbrati razlike med njimi in zaposlenimi v industriji.
Izkazalo se je, da je splošen odnos ljudi do kemikalij dokaj pozitiven, da se ljudje kemikalij zavedajo in imajo do njih odgovoren odnos. Največji vpliv na odnos in pogled na kemikalije ima spol, malo manj starost, medtem ko ga izobrazba glede na raziskavo vpliva nima. Očitne razlike odnosa in pogleda na kemikalije med laiki in zaposlenimi v industriji prav tako ni bilo. Za izboljšanje že dokaj zadovoljivega znanja o kemikalijah bi se lahko pripravile razne ciljnim skupinam prilagojene zloženke, seminarji ali ozaveščanje preko medijev, kot sta televizija in internet, ki je dandanes že večini dostopen in ga uporablja ogromno ljudi.We are educating ourselves on chemicals and dealing with them in the period of schooling, and later on specific jobs, if we work there. About what kind of attitude and view of chemicals people have and whether they act responsibly, there are some studies available, but what is the relationship and look at the chemicals of people who are in contact with them on a daily basis, is not so good researched. As part of my diploma thesis, I wanted to explore how responsible and what kind of attitude and view of chemicals employees in the chemical industry in Slovenia have.
The research on the latter was conducted among people in the chemical industry with the help of a questionnaire, which I prepared with the help of mentor doc. dr. Barbara Novosel and doc. dr. Marija Molan. The questionnaire consisted of 32 questions, some of which were general on gender, age and education, followed by questions related to chemicals such as, their use of chemicals, how to protect yourself from them, what they are paying attention to when buying products in the shop, do they know effects of certain chemicals and so on. From the obtained results of the questionnaire, it was studied what are the general answers, whether there is a difference between them according to gender, age or education, and whether it is possible to find out if there is the differences between employees in the industry and lay people from the existing research with lay people.
It turned out that the general attitude of people to chemicals is quite positive, that people are aware and have a respectful approach to them. The greatest influence on the attitude and view of the chemicals is played by gender, a little less age, while education has no influence on their attitude. There was also no obvious difference in the relationship and view of chemicals between lay people and employees in the industry. In order to improve the already quite satisfactory knowledge of chemicals, it would be possible to prepare a wide range of custom-made leaflets, various seminars or media information, such as television and the Internet, which is nowadays most accessible and used by a lot of people
Awareness of Slovenes about safety in case of natural disasters
No full textNaravne nesreče so vedno pogostejši pojav zaradi takšnih in drugačnih dejavnikov. Kaj sploh so naravne nesreče, kako se nanje pripraviti in kako ravnati, ko enkrat do njih pride, je znanje, ki ga je za take primere dobro imeti, saj se s tem lahko izognemo neželenim posledicam. Mi smo preverili, kašno je znanje Slovence s pomočjo anketnega vprašalnika, ki smo ga sestavili na podlagi pregledane literature in dosedanjih podobnih raziskav. Anketni vprašalnik je bil sestavljen iz 41 vprašanj, ki so zajemala vprašanja o vrstah naravnih nesreč, pogostosti pojavljanja naravnih nesreč, vzrokih in posledicah naravnih nesreč, pripravljenosti ter ukrepanju ob pojavu naravnih nesreč in tako dalje. Dodatno pozornost smo v vprašalniku namenili požarom, poplavam in potresom. Cilj je bil s pomočjo anketnega vprašalnika ugotoviti in dobiti odgovore, ki bi nam dali vpogled v to, kje ozaveščenosti o naravnih nesrečah pri Slovencih primanjkuje. Anketni vprašalnik smo objavili na spletnem mestu 1ka.si in jo delili na družbenih omrežjih. Pregled dobljenih statističnih podatkov nam je dal vpogled v to, kje ozaveščenosti o naravnih nesrečah primanjkuje. Ugotovili smo, da je ozaveščenost slaba predvsem pri poznavanju vzrokov in posledic naravnih nesreč ter znanju o tem, kako se nanje pripraviti. Podatke o tem smo po podrobnejši analizi vključili v krajšo zloženko, ki bo uporabniku služila pri pripravi na naravne nesreče ter ob primeru, ko do njih pride. Zloženka je v nasprotju z že obstoječimi zloženkami na tem področju napisana bolj kratko in jedrnato, kljub temu pa zajema informacije o več vrstah naravnih nesreč ter le podatke, o katerih so ljudje najmanj ozaveščeni. Zraven zloženke in podatkov, ki jih nudi magistrsko delo, bi lahko ozaveščenost Slovencev o naravnih nesrečah povečali s pomočjo promocijskih programov o naravnih nesrečah v medijih. Predlagali bi tudi obnavljanje znanja o naravnih nesrečah na nekaj let, podobno ali v sklopu varstva pri delu.Natural disasters are becoming more and more common due to various factors. What natural disasters are, how to prepare for them and how to act once they occur, is knowledge that is good to have for such cases, because with this we can avoid unwanted consequences. We checked the level of knowledge of Slovenians with the help of a survey questionnaire, which we compiled based on reviewed literature and previous similar research. The questionnaire consisted of 41 questions, which included questions about the types of natural disasters, the frequency of occurrence of natural disasters, the causes and consequences of natural disasters, preparedness, and action in the event of natural disasters, and so on. Additional attention was paid in the questionnaire to fires, floods, and earthquakes. With the help of a questionnaire, the goal was to find out and get answers that would give us an insight into where Slovenians lack awareness of natural disasters. We published the survey questionnaire on the 1ka.si website and shared it on social networks. A review of the obtained statistics gave us an insight into where awareness about natural disasters is lacking. We found that awareness is poor, especially when it comes to knowing the causes and consequences of natural disasters and how to prepare for them. After a more detailed analysis, we have included the information on this in a short leaflet, which will serve the user in preparing for natural disasters and if they occur. In contrast to already existing leaflets in this field, the leaflet is written more briefly and concisely, but nevertheless it contains information about several types of natural disasters and only information about which people are least aware. In addition to the leaflet and data provided by the master\u27s thesis, the awareness of Slovenians about natural disasters could be increased with the help of promotional programs about natural disasters in the media. We would also suggest renewing knowledge about natural disasters for a few years, similar to or as part of occupational health and safety
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
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
