Beyond the Power of Networks: Differentiating Network Structure from Social Media Affordances for Perceived Social Support
No full textExisting research suggests that social media use is associated with higher levels of social capital – the resources contained within a person’s network of friends, family, and other acquaintances. However, in predicting access to these resources, it has been impossible to distinguish the affordances of social media from the underlying advantage of maintaining a favorable social network of relationships on- and offline. Based on data from a representative, national survey, we compare the relationship between social network structure and various activities on Facebook for one type of resource: informal support in the form of companionship, emotional support, and tangible aid. In addition to a positive association between number of close ties, overall network size and diversity and support, we find that Facebook status updates and private messaging are independently associated with perceived support. We argue that these affordances are an outcome of the “pervasive awareness” provided by social media.Peer reviewe
Digital Media and Stress: The Cost of Caring 2.0
No full textThis research explores the relationship between the use of digital media and stress. Based on the findings of a national, probability sample of adults in the United States, the use of digital media was not directly associated with higher levels of psychological stress. Some uses of digital media were associated with lower levels of perceived stress for women but not for men. However, the evidence suggests that, for men and women, digital media provides heightened awareness of network life events (AoNLE) in the lives of both close and more distant acquaintances. An awareness of undesirable, major life events in the lives of others can be a source of psychological stress; this is the cost of caring. Thus, the link between digital media and stress is indirect. We argue that the growth of digital media is related to changes in the structure of peoples’ personal communities that contribute to this trend. There has been a shift toward networks that offer persistent contact and pervasive awareness. Findings suggest that different mobile technologies, Internet technologies, and social media afford AoNLE for men and women, but women tend to report greater psychological stress than men, and they experience psychological stress from a wider range of AoNLE. We discuss explanations for the negative relationship between technology use and stress for women, as well as the implications of our findings for research on the use of digital media and psychological well-being, such as the relationship to social support, narcissism and empathy.Peer reviewe
Ksavers Andermanis – LU Akadēmiskās nozīmītes meta autors
No full textRaksts tapis kā turpinājums 2024. gada septembra mēneša priekšmetam par Latvijas Universitātes (LU) Akadēmisko nozīmīti, kur uzmanība pievērsta LU Akadēmiskās nozīmītes meta autoram, LU Arhitektūras fakultātes studentam un novadpētniekam, vācbaltietim Ksaveram Andermanim. K. Andermanis ne tikai ir sniedzis ieguldījumu Latvijas etnogrāfijas pētniecībā, bet arī LU simbolu izgatavošanā, kas mūsdienās saglabā savu unikalitāti un vērtību. Meta autora piederība pie LU saimes sakņojusies jau viņa ģimenē, jo viņa tēvs ir absolvējis Rīgas Politehnisko institūtu, LU priekšteci starpkaru periodā, un strādājis LU Saimniecības padomē par inspektoru.The article is a continuation of the September 2024 Museum Object on the Academic Badge of the University of Latvia (UL), which focuses on the author of the UL Academic Badge design, the student of the Faculty of Architecture and local historian, the Baltic German Ksavers Andermanis. K. Andermanis has not only contributed to the research of Latvian ethnography, but also to the production of symbols of the UL, which today retain their uniqueness and value. The author's belonging to the UL family is rooted in his family, as his father graduated from the Riga Polytechnic Institute, the predecessor of UL during the interwar period, and worked as an inspector at the UL Economical council

Lu-H-N phase diagram from first-principles calculations
No full textUsing a comprehensive structure search and high-throughput first-principles
calculations of 1483 compounds, this study presents the phase diagram of
Lu-H-N. The formation energy landscape of Lu-H-N was derived and utilized to
assess the thermodynamic stability of compounds. Results indicate that there
are no stable Lu-H-N ternary structures in this system, but metastable ternary
structures, such as Lu20H2N17 (C2/m), Lu2H2N (P3-m1), were observed with small
Ehull (< 100 meV/atom). Moreover, applying hydrostatic pressure up to 10 GPa
causes the energy convex hull of the Lu-H-N to shift its shape and stabilizes
binary phases such as LuN9 and Lu10H21. Additionally, interstitial empty sites
in LuH2 were noted, which may explain the formation of Lu10H21 and LuH3-xNy. To
provide a basis for comparison, X-ray diffraction patterns and electronic
structures of some compounds are also presented

Lu Xun's Revolution : Writing in a Time of Violence /
No full textRecognized as modern China’s preeminent man of letters, Lu Xun (1881–1936) is revered as the nation’s conscience, a writer comparable to Shakespeare or Tolstoy. Gloria Davies’s vivid portrait gives readers a better sense of this influential author by situating the man Mao Zedong hailed as "the sage of modern China" in his turbulent time and place.Widely recognized as modern China’s preeminent man of letters, Lu Xun (1881–1936) is revered as the voice of a nation’s conscience, a writer comparable to Shakespeare and Tolstoy in stature and influence. Gloria Davies’s portrait now gives readers a better sense of this influential author by situating the man Mao Zedong hailed as "the sage of modern China" in his turbulent time and place. In Davies’s vivid rendering, we encounter a writer passionately engaged with the heady arguments and intrigues of a country on the eve of revolution. She traces political tensions in Lu Xun’s works which reflect the larger conflict in modern Chinese thought between egalitarian and authoritarian impulses. During the last phase of Lu Xun’s career, the so-called "years on the left," we see how fiercely he defended a literature in which the people would speak for themselves, and we come to understand why Lu Xun continues to inspire the debates shaping China today. Although Lu Xun was never a Communist, his legacy was fully enlisted to support the Party in the decades following his death. Far from the apologist of political violence portrayed by Maoist interpreters, however, Lu Xun emerges here as an energetic opponent of despotism, a humanist for whom empathy, not ideological zeal, was the key to achieving revolutionary ends. Limned with precision and insight, Lu Xun’s Revolution is a major contribution to the ongoing reappraisal of this foundational figure.Recognized as modern China’s preeminent man of letters, Lu Xun (1881–1936) is revered as the nation’s conscience, a writer comparable to Shakespeare or Tolstoy.

Ekonomista N. Kohanovska kolekcija - lielākais pēckara gadu dāvinājums LU Bibliotēkai
No full textLU Bibliotēkas vēsturisko kolekciju klāstā ir unikāla, bet reti pieminēta tematiskā privātkolekcija, ar kuru bibliotēkas krājums papildinājās 1961. gadā - divdesmitajos gados Latvijas Universitātē strādājušā privātdocenta Nikolaja Kohanovska ekonomikas literatūras privātbibliotēka. Tā bija pārāk vērtīga, lai augstskolas bibliotēka noraidītu piedāvāto dāvinājumu no kādreizējā pretējas ideoloģijas mācībspēka. Šis krājums tomēr netika īpaši popularizēts plašākā sabiedrībā, vien tika uzsvērti tajā atrodamie politekonomijas klasiķu pirmizdevumi un citi retumi. Plauktos nonāca vairāk kā 1,700 sējumu, lai gan daļa no padomju ideoloģijai nepieņemamiem izdevumiem pārceļoja uz specfondu. Kopumā kolekciju raksturo gandrīz visas klasiskās ekonomikas literatūras esamība, līdz ar vērtīgākajiem specifisku nozaru izdevumiem. Tik plašu materiālu dažādo ekonomikas teoriju un ekonomikas vēstures izpētei nepiedāvā neviena cita Latvijas bibliotēka
Lu Xun zaoqi wenyan lunwen li suo tansuo de xin wenhua (The 'New Culture' formulated in Lu Xun's early classical-style essays)
No full textThis article links a number of the main themes expressed in Lu Xun's early wenyan essays, written in Japan in 1906-1908, with the concerns of the New Culture Movement, which emerged later (circa 1919) in China. The author argues that these book-length theses written in dense classical language were in fact intellectual precursors to the New Culture Movement and its aftermath. It delineates a partial outcome of the author's Australian Research Council (ARC) project on the early Lu Xun and his formative period in Japan
