    Bakalaureusetöö Loodusturismi õppekavalAntud bakalaureusetöö, eesmärgiks oli välja selgitada, millised oleksid võimalikud ootused elamusmajutusele ja romantikapaketile tulenevalt soolisest erinevusest. Vastavalt eesmärkidele koostati neli hüpoteesi. Töös kasutati kvantitatiivseid ja kvalitatiivseid meetodeid. Kvantitatiivseks meetodiks valis töö autor küsimustiku, mida viidi läbi eesti kui ka inglise keeles. Kvalitatiivseks meetodiks valiti poolstruktureeritud intervjueerimine. Küsimustiku analüüsi tulemusel tuli välja 13 statistiliselt olulist vastust, mis viitasid meeste ja naiste ootuste ja vajaduste erisustele. Intervjuude analüüsi tulemusel kujunesid välja ettevõtete käitumismustrid seoses elamusteenuste pakkumisega. Võimalik, et antud bakalaureusetööst on kasu Eesti Maaturismi ettevõtete arengule, elamusturismi ja elamusmajutuse valdkonnas. Lisaks on võimalik, et töö autor tegi elamusmajutuse ja elamusturismi kontseptsiooni terviklikumaks ning rohkem mõistetavaks. Antud töö piiranguteks võisid olla vähene huvi vastajate hulgas. Taolist uurimust peaks kindlasti edasi uurima, sest kliendi tundmine on eduka turismiettevõtte alustalaks. Käesolevat bakalaureusetööd on võimalik kasutada elamusturismi, elamusmajutuse ja romantikapaketi elluviimiseks kui ka edasiarendamiseks.This bachelor's thesis aimed to find out what the possible expectations would be for the experience accommodation and the romance package due to the gender difference. Four hypotheses were developed according to the objectives. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used in the work. The author of the work chose a questionnaire, which was conducted in Estonian as well as in English, as a quantitative method. Semi-structured interviewing was chosen as a qualitative method. The analysis of the questionnaire revealed 13 statistically significant responses, which indicated differences in the expectations and needs of men and women. As a result of the analysis of the interviews, the behavioural patterns of companies in relation to the provision of experience services emerged. This bachelor's thesis may benefit the development of Estonian rural tourism companies in the field of experience tourism and experience accommodation. In addition, the concept of experience accommodation and experience tourism has been made more comprehensive and understandable. The limitations of this work may have been the lack of interest among the respondents. Such research should be studied further because knowing the customer is the cornerstone of a successful tourism company. This bachelor's thesis can be used for the implementation as well as further development of experience tourism, experience accommodation and romance packages

    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

    Magistritöö Loodusturismi õppekavalRannaniidud on olulised Eesti looduses, sest neil on erilised ökosüsteemid tänu erilistele looduslikele tingimustele ja pidevale majandamisele. Need ökosüsteemid on unikaalsed ning nende pindala väheneb iga aastaga. Käesoleva töö eesmärk on tuvastada pikaajalisi muutusi rannanniidu taimkattes ning hinnata rannaniitude taastamisedukust. Uurimuse idee ja metoodika on pärit M. Sammuli töörühma 2005. aastal läbi Uurimismetoodika koosnes välitöödest ajaperioodil 18.07.2022-19.07.2022 ning 10.08.2022-12.08.2022 Marika Kose, Karin Kaueri, Martin Kose ning töö autori poolt. Valimis oli 14 erineva kasutusajalooga niitu. 6 rannaniitu on viimase saja aasta jooksul katkematult majandatud, 3 niitu oli hakatud taastama enne 2005. aastat ning 5 rannaniitu olid 2005. aastal kasutusest väljas ning taastamist alustati hiljem. Uuringu käigus määrati taimeliigid, nende katvus taimeruutudes, üldine taimkatte katvus, ning taimede maksimaalne ja keskmine kõrgus. Töö tulemusena saab väita, et taastatavatel aladel pilliroog taandub, kuid hüljatud aladel taandub pilliroog visalt. Taimkatte kõrgused lähevad madalamaks ning valgusnõudlikumate taimeliikide osakaal suureneb. Rannaniitude taastamisprotsess on üldiselt edenenud, kuid on täheldatud roog-aruheina suurenenud esinemissagedust taimeruutudes. Roog-aruhein on ebasoovitavbilik taimeliik rannaniitudel, sest see võib konkureerida teiste rannaniidu taimedega ja neid välja tõrjuda. Rannaniitude taimkatte taastumine võtab kauem aega aladel, mis on pikka aega kasutustest väljas olnud. Antud tööd saab kasutada järgnevateks uuringuteks, et hinnata taastamisedukust. Taastamisedukuse põhjal saab teha järeldusi, kas oleks vaja muuta taastamisvõtteid paremate tulemuste saavutamiseks.Coastal meadows are important in Estonian nature because they have special ecosystems due to special natural conditions and continuous management. These ecosystems are unique and their area is decreasing every year. The aim of this work is to identify longterm changes in the vegetation cover of coastal meadows and to assess their restoration potential. The idea and methodology of the study originates from the research conducted by M. Sammul's working group in 2005. The research methodology consisted of fieldwork between 18.07.2022 and 19.07.2022 and between 10.08.2022 and 12.08.2022 by Marika Kose, Karin Kauer, Martin Kose and the author. The sample consisted of 14 meadows with different use histories. 6 of the meadows had been managed continuously for the last 100 years, 3 meadows had been restored before 2005 and 5 meadows were no longer in use in 2005 and restoration started later. During the survey, the plant species, their cover in plant communities, the overall vegetation cover, and the maximum and average height of the plants were determined. As a result of the work, it can be concluded that the reed is receding in the restored areas, but is slowly receding in the abandoned areas. Plant heights are decreasing and the proportion of more light-demanding plant species is increasing. The regeneration process of riparian meadows is generally advanced, but an increased incidence of tall fescue has been observed in plant communities. This work can be used for subsequent studies to assess the success of restoration. Based on the restoration success, conclusions can be drawn on whether restoration techniques need to be modified to achieve better results

    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

    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

    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
