    Uuringu eesmärgiks oli kavandada Kuressaare linna uus ühistranspordivõrk, mis toetaks paremini inimeste liikumisvajadusi ja pakuks mugavamat teenindust. Autor koostas uuringu toetudes teoorias Peter White raamatule „Public Transport, Its planning, management and operation“. Ühistranspordi teeninduskvaliteedi parandamiseks võeti luubi alla lisaks sõidugraafikutele ka bussipeatused, pileti müügi süsteem kui tehnoloogia valik. Uurimismeetodiks oli vaatlus ja andmeanalüüs, mille käigus autor läbis erinevaid bussiliine aprilli kuu jooksul. Tähelepanekud ehk puudused tähendas autor bussi valiku osas, bussipeatuste seisukorras, piletite müügi süsteemis ja sõidugraafikutes. Uue koostatud transpordivõrguga kaasneb parem kättesaadavus, sobivam planeering, sobivamad bussid reisijate jaoks ja parandatud bussipeatuste olukord. Kuressaare bussipeatuste paiknemise osas nägi autor antud uuringu raames vajadust lisada juurde vaid kaks bussipeatust.Paljud olemasolevad bussipeatused vajavad renoveerimist ja info täiendust. Sõidugraafikute koostamisel kaotas autor ära ülearused pikad seisuajad erinevates peatustes ja selle tulemusena muutes sõidugraafikut tihedamaks ja reisijale kättesaadavamaks. Pakuti välja ka katseajaga proovida linnaliini pikendust Nasvale hommikusel ja õhtusel kellaajal. Kaotati ära üleliigne buss ja lahendati uus sõidugraafik kolme bussiga, mis peaks alandama püsikulusid. Lisaks kolmele teenindavale bussile peaks kasutuses olema ka varubuss, kes teostab lisareise lennujaama vastavalt tellimusele ja näiteks suvisel ajal turismi gruppidele tellimussõite linna piires (näiteks kaubanduskeskuse külastamist) ja asendab välja rikkega või teenindust vajavaid busse. Olenevalt vajadusest tellimussõitude järgi saab kasutada ka liini nr. 3 teenindavat bussi. Sõidugraafikute info peab olema väljas igas peatuses, mis on selge ja loetav ning lisada info ka bussijaama. Piletite müük peab toimima lisaks bussijuhilt sularaha eest ostes ka mobiilselt, mis muudab reisid mugavamaks noortele ja turistidele. Uue bussigraafiku välja töötamisel tegi autor tähelepanekuid ka linna planeerimisel. Selleks, et tõsta bussi kasutamise populaarsust võiks linnas näiteks luua tasulise parkimise tsoon ja võimalusel muuta kesklinn jalakäijate alaks, kuhu pääseb vaid linnaliiklust teenindav buss. Antud teema on juba aastaid ka linnavalitsuse arutlusel, aga senini ei ole kindlat otsust vastu võetud. Hetkel on linn üle pargitud ja suvisel ajal väga väikse läbilaskevõimega tekitades ummikuid kesklinna rajooni. Saaremaa on väga suur turismi ja spa´de keskus, kus käib erinevatest sihtkohtadest sadu turiste. Linnaliini busse oleks võimalik ka ära kasutada reklaamina tutvustades Saaremaa suurimaid vaatamisväärsusi nagu Kuressaare linnus, Angla tuulikud, Panga pank, Kaali kraater jne. Võimalus kasutada ära bussi tühja valget pinda illustreerides bussid vaatamisväärsuste piltidega, mis muudaks inimeste jaoks bussid ka lõbusamaks. Antud töö täitis oma eesmärki kujundada uus ühistranspordivõrk Kuressaare linnale. Loodetavasti on Kuressaare linnavalitsusele ja Saare maavalitsusele antud uuringust kasu ja neil õnnestub populariseerida ühistranspordi kasutust ja viia bussiliiklus Kuressaares jälle kasumlikuks.The aim of the work was the design of the new public transport network in Kuressaare, which will provide better support and navigation service needs of people with mobility. The author has produced a study of the theory on the basis of the White Peter "Public Transport, Its planning, management and operation" In order to improve the service quality of public transport the author monitored timetables, bus stops, ticket sales system and technology of choice. The new public transport network in Kuressaare provides better accessibility, more suitable planning, more suitable planning, appropriate technology for passengers and improved situation in bus stops. As regards the location of public bus stops in Kuressaare, the author saw the need to add only two bus stops. Existing bus stops need renovation and supplement information. Preparation of the schedules, the author lost redundant scheduling long turnaround times as a result of this, making it more accessible and closer to the passengers service schedule. Also out was offered an extension to Nasva of the probationary period in the morning and evening times. Abolished redundant bus and new schedule was solved with three buses, which should lower fixed costs. In addition to the three bus service should also be a replacement bus, which carries additional trips to the airport according to the order, during summer trips to the spa bookings for groups within the city borders and will replace the defective or out of service requiring buses. Depending on the order of entries according to needs can also be used the bus, which operating on line number three. Scheduling info must be outside every bus stop that is clear and legible. Scheduling info should be also in bus station. Ticket sales must operate in addition to the buying for cash from bus driver also buying a mobil basis, which makes travel more comfortable. While author was developing new schedules, also made an observation in urban planning. In order to increase the popularity of the use of public transport should to lose free-parking zone in downtown area and the possibility of changing city center pedestrian area, which can be accessed only by bus serving the city traffic. This topic has been discussed for many years in city government, but so far on firm decisions has been taken. Saarema is a major tourist and Spa center with the works of hundreds of tourists from different destinations. Urban buses were also to be able to take advantage of the provisions introducing the Saaremaa´s biggest attractions such as the fortress of Kuressaare , Angla windmills, Kaali crater, etc. The opportunity to take advantage of the bus empty white space to illustrate the buses with pictures of the attractions, which also makes buses more fun to watch for people. The objective of this work was filled with creating a new public transport network of the city of Kuressaare. It is hoped that this work gives the County of Kuressaare and Saare County Government will benefit from the study, and they are managed to popularize the use of public transport and the bus service to be profitabel again in Kuressaare

    Magistritöö Energiakasutuse õppekavalEestis leidub veel väga laialdaselt traditsioonilisi taluhooneid, mida võib pidada maapiirkonna miljööd väärtustavaks teguriks ja ühe enam kolitakse maapiirkondadesse tagasi ja puhutakse elu sisse vanadele hoonetele. Hoone renoveerimisel on oluline pöörata tähelepanu kütteenergia kulule. Renoveerimise eesmärk peaks olema võimalikult väike energiakulu. Töö eesmärgiks on prognoosida hoone soojusenergiavajadust erinevate metoodikatega ning võrrelda prognooside tulemusi kuise mõõteperioodi kohta. Arvutusmetoodikatest on valitud välja kolm, millest kaks põhinevad standardites ja määrustes antud arvutustele. Kolmas metoodika põhineb reaalse hoone küttesüsteemi parameetrite mõõtmistulemustele. Tulemused erinevate kahe esimese ja kolmanda metoodika vahel näitasid suuri erinevusi. Mõõtmistulemuste põhjal saadud kütteenergia erines teistest ligi 35 % võrra. Põhjuseks on toodud vana taluhoone konstruktsioonid, mida on keeruline määratleda. Uuritav hoone pärineb aastast 1936 ja konstruktsioonimaterjalid on saanud ajaga niiskuskahjustusi, mille tulemusena arvutustes kasutatavad soojustehnilised omadused ei ole enam samaväärsed. Järeldusena saab öelda, et metoodikad sobivad prognoosimiseks uute hoonete puhul ja eeldavad kütteautomaatika olemasolu.There are still very many traditional farm buildings in Estonia, which can be considered a factor valuing the rural environment. When renovating a building, it is important to pay attention to the cost of heating energy. The aim of the renovation should be to keep energy consumption to a minimum. The aim of the work is to forecast the heat energy demand of the building with different methodologies and to compare the results of the forecasts for the monthly measurement period. Three of the calculation methods have been selected, two of which are based on calculations given in standards and regulations. The third method is based on the measurement results of the parameters of a building heating system. The results between the two first and third methods showed large differences. The heating energy obtained the measurement results difference from the others by almost 35%. The reason is the constructions of the old farm building, which are difficult to define. The building under study was built in 1936, and the structural materials have been damaged by moisture over time, as a result of which the thermal properties used in the calculations are no longer equivalent. In conclusion, it can be said that the methods are suitable for forecasting in the case of new buildings and presuppose the existence of heating automation

    Bakalaureusetöö Energiakasutuse õppekavalLõputöö teema valiti töös käsitletava hoone omaniku soovil paigaldada oma majja Schneideri tööstusautomaatika toodetel põhinev automaatikasüsteem. Töö eesmärk on antud toodete näol lahenduse leidmise võimalikkus ja odavus. Töös kirjeldatakse kasutatavaid seadmeid ja pakutakse teoorias välja võimalik lahendus ja selle hind. Töö on koostatud teoreetilisel baasil kasutades seadmete infolehti ja juhendeid ning nende põhjal on välja pakutud võimalik terviklahendus. Töö tulemusena koostati võimalik terviklahendus vastavalt lähteülesandele ja tulevikus on võimalik seda ka rakendada. Ülevaatlikult kirjeldatakse ka seadmete programmeerimise tarkvara, aga bakalaureusetöö raames pole selle teostamiseni jõutud. Süsteemi odavuse tõestamiseks on koostatud hinnakalkulatsioon. Süsteemi arendamine vajab teadmisi ja on küllaltki ajakulukas.The theme of the thesis was chosen by the owner of the building under consideration to install an automation system based on Schneider's industrial automation products. The aim of the work is to find the solution in the form of these products and lower price. The paper describes the equipment used and proposes a theoretical solution for the possible solution and its price. The work is based on a theoretical basis using equipment leaflets and guides, and a comprehensive solution is suggested for them. As a result of the work, a possible complete solution was prepared according to the initial task, and it is possible to apply it in the future. Software programming is also explored, but this has not been accomplished in the baccalaureate. A price calculation has been made to prove the cheapness of the system. System development requires knowledge and is quite time-consuming

    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

    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
