No full textDiplomdarba autore: Inese Reisa. Diplomdarba nosaukums: Spējīgu skolēnu patstāvīgas mācīšanās kompetences veicināšana angļu valodas stundās pamatskolā 8.klasē. Darbā tiek pētīta skolēnu patstāvīgās mācīšanās kompetence un tās pilnveides iespējas angļu valodas apguvē 8.klašu skolēniem. Pētījums veikts Kuldīgas 2.vidusskolā ar mērķi teorētiski pamatot un praktiski pārbaudīt nosacījumus patstāvīgas mācīšanās kompetences sekmēšanai darbā ar spējīgiem skolēniem. Pētījuma teorētiskās daļas 1.nodaļā formulēta patstāvīgas mācīšanās kompetences un mācīšanās spēju būtība. 2.nodaļā noteikti kritēriji patstāvīgas mācīšanās kompetencei 8. klasē, 3.nodaļā raksturotas patstāvīgas mācīšanās kompetences sekmēšanas iespējas, savukārt empīriskajā daļā analizēta pedagoģiskā pieredze ar mērķi izvērtēt, kā patstāvīgā darbība sekmē skolēnu angļu valodas apguvi, kā arī izstrādāt ieteikumus pedagogiem skolēnu patstāvīgas mācīšanās kompetences veicināšanai. Pētījuma gaitā secināts, ka galvenie nosacījumi jauniešu mācīšanās spēju pilnveidošanai un līdz ar to arī panākumiem, vieglām un interesantām svešvalodu mācībām ir ne tikai iedzimtās valodu spējas, kuru nozīmi nevar noliegt, bet arī motivācija, savu iespēju apzināšana, spēja izveidot saikni starp jaunām un jau esošām zināšanām, spēja apzināties mācību priekšmeta nozīmi savā dzīvē, spēja pašam plānot, organizēt un vadīt savu mācību procesu. Pētījums kopumā izklāstīts uz 51 lpp., tajā iekļautas 4 tabulas un 7 attēli. Darbā izmantoti 32 literatūras un citi avoti, ir 2 pielikumi. Atslēgas vārdi: patstāvīgas mācīšanās kompetence, pašregulēta mācīšanās, mācīšanās spējas.Diploma work author: Inese Reisa. Diploma work title: Promotion of self-regulated learning competence of gifted students in English at elementary school at grade 8. Diploma work deals with the competence of the students’ self-study and the possibilities for its improvement in the English language lessons for the 8th grade students. The study took place in Secondary School No. 2 in Kuldiga with the aim of substantiating and practically testing the conditions for the promotion of self-study competence of gifted students. In the first chapter of the theoretical part of the research is described the essence of self-regulated learning competence and learning abilities. Chapter 2 defines the criteria for self-regulated learning competence in grade 8, Chapter 3 describes the possibilities for promoting self-regulated learning competence, while the empirical part analyzes pedagogical experience with the aim of assessing how self-study contributes to the acquisition of English, as well as to develop recommendations for teachers to promote students' self-regulated learning competence. The study concludes that the main conditions for the development of young people's learning abilities and, consequently, for success, easy and interesting foreign language learning are not only the inherent language abilities, the importance of which can not be denied, but also the motivation, the identification of their possibilities, the ability to establish a link between new and existing knowledge, the ability to recognize the importance of the subject in their lives, the ability to plan, organize and manage their own learning process. The study is summarized on 51 pages, it contains 4 tables and 7 pictures. The diploma work includes 32 literature and other sources, there are 2 appendixes. Keywords: self-study learning competence, self-regulated learning, learning abilities
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn 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.
