Appropriate information in time has developed to a main business resource and requires the same professional management as conventional means of production. However, the huge supplies as well as the customary decentralized storage are aggravating the effective handling of information. Content management approaches to unify the administration of relevant information. There are developing a vast number of software products which aim to apply this concept. However, a clear definition of content management does not exist and thus, the market offers a variety of solutions. This master thesis analyzes content management systems which represent different aspects of content management, such as Web content management, collaboration in Intranets or management of multimedia. As a basis, general comparison criterions are developed, which orientate to the content life cycle. Examples of application areas for each system conclude the comparison.

The harmful Internet content, as one of the main problems related to the birth of Internet, has already attracted attention of international and national institutions. Regardless of two main problems arising in this field – the global nature of Internet and the subjective nature of malignancy, it‘s almost decade as European Union and the Council of Europe are trying to solve harmful Internet material related questions in such ways, that would be acceptable to all the region. The author of this work suggests that basis of Lithuanian law should be reviewed and the approach to the tendencies of international regulation should be more critical – special attention should be paid when implementing self-regulatory mechanisms.

Pieno kokybę apibūdina visa eilė rodyklių. Svarbiausias iš jų - somatinių ląstelių skaičius. Didėjantis SLS nurodo, kad karvė serga dažniausiai pasitaikančia ginekologine liga mastitu. Klinikiniu mastitu serga apie 1 – 2 proc. karvių. Dažniausiai serga karvės slaptuoju mastitu. Literatūros duomenys teigia, kad laktuojančių karvių bandose šiuo mastitu serga 43 – 47 proc. karvių. Svarbiausias slaptojo mastito požymis-padidėjęs somatinių ląstelių skaičius piene. Dažniausiai tešmens infekcija karvės suserga pirmaisiais laktacijos mėnesiais ir 80 proc. atvejų jos serga visą laktacijos laikotarpį. Sergant mastitu netenkama iki 25 proc. pieno per laktaciją. Vien tik dėl vieno tešmens ketvirčio uždegimo pieno per laktaciją sumažėja net iki 12 proc. Mastitu persirgusių karvių produktyvumas ne visuomet atsikuria toks, koks buvo iki ligos, nes negrįžtamai pasikeičia alveolinis audinys, tad kai kurias karves tenka išbrokuoti. Mastitą galima diagnozuoti pagal laktozės koncentracija elektrolitų sudėti ir SLS. Patogiausia ir pigiausia diagnozuoti pagal SLS.The aim of this study was to find the non genetical influence facts in cows milk, for healthy cows and cows with secret mastitis. Scientific research work was carried out at the Department of Non-infectious diseases, Lithuanian Veterinary Academy and Practical Instruction and Research Centre LVA from 2005 to 2007. This work analyses data from dairy cow milk production. Experiments were carried out on two to seven year old black and white breed lactating cows, during the housing period. Data from 166 cows was used in this analysis. Inclusion criteria - somatic cell count higher than 400x 103/ml. We analyzed the influence of lactation on milk somatic cell count, cow age impact on productivity during lactation period on the number of somatic cells in the milk, parturition – to conception period length, season of the year. Increasing lactation number, was associated with elevated somatic cell count from 247, 3 until 392, 4 103/ml; and average milk yield per day also increased from 12,1 until 13,8 kg, milk fat increased from 4,34 until 4,38 percent, protein content increased from 3,15 to 3,30 percent. Milk lactose content decreased accordingly from 4,75 to 4,67 percent. Age positively influences milk productivity. This can be explained by lowered resistance to mastitis which is more frequent with age, cow automatic milking and supervision mistakes (Powell, et Al. 1997). According to literature data age and lactation period highly influences cow health and productivity. Age has... [to full text]

Full textAbstract:
Thesis advisor: Katherine L. McNeillThe Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) represent a significant shift in the goals of U.S. science education. Instead of a focus solely on content acquisition, the NGSS aim to engage students in the practices of science. Teachers will require substantial support, in large part from science leaders at the district level, to change their instruction to accomplish this vision. However, little is known about how these leaders conceptualize the NGSS. Therefore, this dissertation utilizes a sensemaking theoretical framework to explore the beliefs and pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) of district science leaders about one of the NGSS science practices, scientific argumentation. Greater understandings of these constructs can aid in designing appropriate supports for district leaders and meeting the challenges of implementing the NGSS. Fifty-three district leaders from states that have adopted the NGSS participated in a survey focused on their beliefs and PCK for argumentation. After the administration of the survey, 10 district leaders who represented a range of states and beliefs were selected for follow-up interviews. These interviews were semi-structured and focused on the same areas of belief as in the survey. The findings from the surveys and interviews indicate that most district science leaders are supporters of the NGSS and believe that scientific argumentation offers important benefits for students. Many leaders referenced one or more of the NGSS science practices in their descriptions of effective science education and asserted that they believe that the NGSS will require teachers in their districts to make substantial changes in their current instruction. However, some leaders also maintained their beliefs in the effectiveness of traditional instructional methods that are not compatible with the NGSS, and few leaders mentioned critique as an essential component of argumentation. In addition, many leaders demonstrated challenges in their PCK for argumentation, specifically related to evidence and reasoning in scientific arguments and the role of critique in dialogical interactions. Therefore, supporting leaders to develop more accurate conceptions and knowledge of the NGSS and argumentation should be a priority for districts nationwide

Full textAbstract:
Thesis advisor: Marilyn Cochran-SmithThe clinical experience of future urban teachers is increasingly regarded as one of the most important aspects of teacher preparation (NCATE, 2010; NRC, 2010). However, there is widespread agreement that further knowledge must be acquired on what constitutes rich clinical experience, and on the influence of such learning opportunities especially in urban, high-needs contexts (Anderson & Stillman, 2013; Levine, 2006; Picus, Monk, & Knight, 2012). This dissertation aims to increase our understanding of clinical experience. Based on sociocultural and socio-constructivist perspectives, and drawing on Lave and Wenger’s (1991) theories of learning within communities of practice, this dissertation employed qualitative research methods to examine the phenomenon of content coaching during an urban teacher residency program. This dissertation argues that residency content coaching provided a context within which residents could integrate what they were learning about “ambitious teaching” (Lampert & Graziani, 2009; Newmann & Wehlage, 1993) into their own practice through ongoing negotiations with their coaches. Coaching interactions were by and large responsive to individual resident’s learning needs, and guided residents to begin to place their students’ learning at the center of decision-making when planning, teaching, and assessing. The dissertation further investigates the actual and aspirational characteristics of coaching in this context. Overall findings suggest that content coaching addresses several persistent problems of traditional pre-service fieldwork supervision (Darling-Hammond, 2010; Featherstone, 2007), and offers a more coherent approach. Consequently, this dissertation contributes to our collective understanding of clinical experience in preparing teachers to teach ambitiously in urban classrooms

Šiame baigiamajame magistro darbe, tema Žiniasklaidos turinio įvairovė ir demokratijos procesai: mažos šalies atvejis, bus kalbama apie žiniasklaidos pliuralizmą. Suvokiant, kad žiniasklaidos pliuralizmas yra susijęs su įvairove ��iniasklaidoje, bus išskiriamos ir aptariamos dvi sąvokos: žiniasklaidos struktūrų įvairovė ir žiniasklaidos turinio įvairovė. Pirmoji kalba apie žiniasklaidos priemonių, jų savininkų įvairovę, antroji – apie nuomonių, komentarų, žanrų, veikėjų ir pan. platų spektrą. Viso darbo metu laikomasi pozicijos, kad bet kuri žiniasklaidos priemonė pirmiausia turi formuoti skaitytojo objektyvų požiūrį į tam tikrą reiškinį ar problemą, lavinti kritinį žvilgsnį bei mąstymą, privalo skaitytojui pateikti ne siaurą vieno žurnalisto ar vienos krypties suformuotą nuomonę, o platų pasirinkimą konkrečią sritį išmanančių specialistų, ekspertų nuomones, komentarus, įvairiapusį įžvalgų spektrą.
Atsižvelgiama į vyraujančią tendenciją, kad mažoje šalyje (kalbant apie Pabaltijo šalis) atskira žiniasklaidos priemonė, užimdama savą poziciją, vykdydama savą tiek vidinę, tiek viešą politiką, nesuteikia informacijos gavėjui galimybės gauti visą aiškiai, savarankiškai, teisingai suvokti konkretų įvykį ar atvejį reikalingos informacijos. Savininkų įtaka, korupcija žiniasklaidoje, išsilavinusių, profesionalių žurnalistų trūkumas bei piliečių riboti poreikiai bei galimybės kenkia žiniasklaidos turinio įvairovei: gavėjai (skaitytojai, žiūrovai, klausytojai, vartotojai) ima viską, ką...

Media pluralism is related with diversity in media. It is necessary to separate two concepts: structure diversity of media and content diversity of media. The first speaks about media implement ant owners diversity, the second – about wide spectrum of opinions, comments, genres, players and etc. In this paper it was taken a position, that any implement of media firstly have to form a objective point of view of a reader to fact or problem, practice critical look and thought, must present not only one narrow journalist opinion or one way formed view to a reader, but wide choice of specialists, experts opinions, comments, many-sided providence spectrum. It was conciderated at the tendency, that in small country (such as Baltic countries) individual implement of media, what have position, does it’s inside or outside policy, do not gives information to receiver a possibility to get all information about one or another concrete case or event. Influence of owners, corruption in news media, lack of educated and professional journalists and citizens limited interests and possibilities harm the content diversity of news media: receivers (readers, viewers, listeners, consumers) take all they get, suppliers (media implements) do not have reasons to do they bests.

There are a lot of freeware and commercial content management systems developed by IT companies and individual developers. Notwithstanding the diversity of these content management systems, all of them have one single purpose – manage content of the web site by separating presentation from business logic. This document investigates a content management system designed to be used by organizations. The model of a trivial content management system is modified into the content management system for organizations by introducing concepts of information objects and a structure of an organization. An experiment has been carried out to test the new content management system model. The experiment results proved the assumption that the suggested new content management system model is more effective than the trivial content management system model.

Full textAbstract:
We study specific aspects of the relationship between the stellar content and the intracluster media (ICM) of galaxy clusters. First, we attempt to solve the long-standing difficulty in explaining the highly enriched ICM by including a previously unaccounted for stellar component: the intracluster stars. To determine the relative contributions of galactic and intracluster stars to the enrichment of the intracluster medium (ICM), we present X-ray surface brightness, temperature, and Fe abundance profiles for a set of twelve galaxy clusters for which we have extensive optical photometry. Assuming a standard IMF and simple chemical evolution model scaled to match the present-day cluster early-type SN Ia rate, the stars in the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) plus the intracluster stars (ICS) generate 31⁺¹¹₋₉%, on average, of the observed ICM Fe within r₅₀₀(∼ 0.6 times r₂₀₀, the virial radius). Because the ICS typically contribute 80% of the BCG+ICS Fe, we conclude that the ICS are significant, yet often neglected, contributors to the ICM Fe within r₅₀₀. However, the BCG+ICS fall short of producing all the Fe, so metal loss from stars in other cluster galaxies must also contribute. By combining the enrichment from intracluster and galactic stars, we can account for all the observed Fe. These models require a galactic metal loss fraction (0.84(−0.14)^(+0.11)) that, while large, is consistent with theoretical models of Fe mass not retained by galactic stars. The SN Ia rates, especially as a function of galaxy environment and redshift, remain a significant source of uncertainty in further constraining the metal loss fraction. Second, we study the effects of ram-pressure stripping on infalling galaxies using a warm molecular hydrogen (H₂) as a tracer by carrying out a Spitzer infrared spectrograph (IRS) survey of four galaxies with signatures of ram-pressure stripping. We have discovered two galaxies, ESO 137-001 and NGC 4522, with warm H₂ tails stretching 20 kpc and 4 kpc in length, respectively. In the case of ESO 137-001 where we measure a warm H₂ mass loss rate of ∼ 2 − 3 M⊙ yr⁻¹, we estimate that the galaxy will lose all of its gas in a single pass through the cluster core. Strong warm H₂ emission is detected in one other galaxy, CGCG 97-073, which a region within its tail that is mainly dominated by H₂ emission. The warm H₂ observed in these three galaxies share similar temperature and column density properties with warm H₂ masses ranging from 10⁶ − 10⁸ M⊙. From a comparison with the SINGS warm H₂ sample, our results indicate that these galaxies experiencing significant ram-pressure stripping show anomalously high warm H₂ emission that cannot be explained purely from star formation. This adds credence to the hypothesis that H₂ within these galaxies is being shock-heated from the interaction with the ICM. We also discover that stripping of warm and hot dust, as measured at 8 μm and 24 μm, is a common feature of the galaxies observed in our sample. In the case of NGC 4522, we capture the turbulent nature of the stripping process. We measure the star formation rates using published Hα and measured 24 μm luminosities for all of our galaxies and find that some of them have suppressed star formation rates compared to similar mass counterparts in the field. We find a possible association between Hα and warm H₂ emission in three of the four galaxies observed. We conclude that the variation of H₂ properties observed in our sample is likely due to the galaxies being in different stages of ram-pressure stripping. Finally, we report on our efforts to improve the performance of the Lochkeed Arizona Infrared Spectrometer (LAIRS), a near-IR, tunable filter imager. We have made significant progress in identifying the sources of key issues such as the a highly asymmetric line profile and the unstable performance of the servo controller at the MMT. Solutions have been implemented for these issues, such as a revised mounting strategy for the tunable filter plates and a completely new controller with higher bandwidth. Significant progress has been made towards resolving these issues, but a few issues remain before LAIRS meets all of its requirements.

Valstybei vykdant užimtumo politiką, skatinant įvairiomis priemonėmis užimtumą, susiklosto visuomeniniai santykiai (ekonominių, socialinių), kurių dauguma įgyja teisinių santykių formą. Šie užimtumo teisiniai santykiai apibrėžiami kaip sistema teisinių, ekonominių, socialinių ir organizacinių priemonių, kurias teikia valstybės, savivaldybių arba kitos įmonės, įstaigos, organizacijos, siekdamos užimtumo, padedančios sudaryti darbo sutartį. Šiame darbe apžvelgta Lietuvos užimtumo teisinių santykių reglamentavimo raida, pabrėžiant juos įtakojančius tarptautinius teisinius pagrindus. Trumpai apžvelgtos užimtumo srityje reikšmingos TDO konvencijos, nurodant Lietuvos Respublikos teisės aktus, į kuriuos perkeltos šių Konvencijų nuostatos. Apžvelgta ES užimtumo strategija ir išnagrinėta jos įtaka Lietuvos užimtumo politikos formavimo kryptims bei užimtumo teisinių santykių reglamentavimui.Public relations (economic, social) arise due to state’s policy and enhancement of employment, the majority of which gain the form of legal relations. These legal relations of employment are defined as the system of legal, economic, social and organizational means, which are provided by state, local administration or other institutions, companies, organizations by seeking bigger employment, helping to conclude work contract. The regulation development of legal relations of employment in Lithuania is discussed in this thesis, putting more emphasis on international legal grounds that influence them. ILO conventions, which are meaningful to employment sphere, are briefly reviewed by noting legal acts of Republic of Lithuania where statute of Conventions is removed. EU employment strategy is reviewed and its impact on Lithuania’s employment policy for formed directions as well as regulation of legal relations of employment is analyzed.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis advisor: Dennis ShirleySchools and classrooms in the United States are increasingly religiously diverse, and religion remains a deeply influential social force, locally, nationally, and globally. However, decades of misunderstanding about the constitutionally appropriate relationship between religion and public education have created a cycle of silence about religion in K-12 schools and in teacher education. As a result, public school educators are not prepared to teach about religion in the curriculum. Nor do they have the skills to respond to common challenges that arise in religiously diverse school communities. This dissertation examines four professional development courses about religious diversity to understand the motivations and experiences of the educators who participated and to explore the impacts these courses had on the educators’ teaching practices. The 145 participants in the professional development courses learned about several religious traditions through a combination of visits to religious communities, guest speakers, and classroom discussion. The mixed methods study surveyed the participants three times, once before the courses, and twice afterwards. Follow-up interviews with 13 educators were conducted approximately one year after they completed the courses. The findings reveal that educators working at all grade levels and in all content areas found valuable benefits from increasing their understanding of religion, including a greater appreciation for the religious identities of their students and increased comfort with religion when it appeared in a range of school settings. Based on my analysis, I propose a framework of Pedagogical Content Knowledge about Religion to describe five domains of knowledge and skills that are necessary for educators to be able to competently respond to religion in public schools. This framework and the findings of this study have valuable implications for the development of future professional development courses and in charting a trajectory for further research on religion in U.S. public schools

Lietuvoje per pastaruosius du dešimtmečius, siekiant suartinti profesinio mokymo ir bendrojo lavinimo kryptis vidurinio ugdymo lygmeniu, įgyvendinta nemažai priemonių ir šiuo metu tęsiama daug įvairių veiklų: profesinėse mokyklose yra sudaryta galimybė kartu su profesine kvalifikacija įgyti vidurinį išsilavinimą, jose steigiami gimnazijų skyriai, bendrojo lavinimo mokykloms numatyta galimybė į vidurinio ugdymo programą įtraukti profesinio mokymo programų modulius, įvestas technologijų egzaminas, plėtojama nacionalinė kvalifikacijų sistema ir kt. Profesinio mokymo prestižą galima padidinti profesinį mokymą ir bendrąjį lavinimą integruojant – t. y., kurti įvairius ryšius tarp šių sistemų (Koditz ir kt., 2009).
Tyrimo problema. Integruotas ugdymas, sudarantis galimybes pasireikšti intelekto daugialypiškumui, kartu sukuria prielaidas visiems dalykams tapti jungiamąja ugdymo grandimi. Kadangi tiek bendrojo lavinimo, tiek profesinio rengimo dalykus galima priskirti tam tikroms mokslo sritims, tai galima atrasti tarp jų bendrų ryšių ir tuos ryšius panaudoti ugdyme, dalykus integruojant.

During the past two decades aiming to bring together the training and direction of general education at upper secondary level in Lithuania is implemented a wide variety of measures and activities: vocational schools are given the opportunity, together with the professional qualification of secondary education, to set up gymnasiums, schools for general education provided access to secondary education curriculum to include vocational training programs, modules, introduced in test technology, the development of a national qualifications framework and others. The prestige of vocational training can be raised by integrating vocational training and general education – that is to create links between these various systems (Koditz and others., 2009). The problem of the research. Integrated education, allowing opportunities for intellectual multiplicity, also creates the presumption for all subjects to become a coupling link of education. As both general education and vocational training issues can be attributed to certain areas of science, it is possible to find common links between them and those links can be used in education by integrating subjects.

I conduct a content analysis of the news media coverage of the criminal cases State of Michigan v. Lawrence Gerard Nassar and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. William Henry Cosby, Jr. during the #MeToo Movement. I find that news media coverage of violent crimes against women typically exhibits an inverse relationship in which supportive portrayals of victims predict unsupportive portrayals of defendants, and vice versa. I also find some evidence to suggest that Black male defendants receive more lenient news media coverage than white male defendants. The results of this study demonstrate the power of social movements in influencing criminal justice outcomes and the news media’s role in shaping public opinion on criminal cases

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate a measurement model for Internet information retrieval strategy performance evaluation whose theoretical basis is a modification of the classical measurement model embodied in the Cranfield studies and their progeny. Though not the first, the Cranfield studies were the most influential of the early evaluation experiments. The general problem with this model was and continues to be the subjectivity of the concept of relevance. In cyberspace, information scientists are using quantitative measurement models for evaluating information retrieval performance that are based on the Cranfield model. This research modified this model by incorporating enduser relevance judgment rather than using objective relevance judgments, and by adopting a fundamental unit of measure developed for the cyberspace of Internet information retrieval rather than using recall and precision-type measures. The proposed measure, the Content-bearing Click (CBC) Ratio, was developed as a quantitative measure reflecting the performance of an Internet IR strategy. Since the hypertext "click" is common to many Internet IR strategies, it was chosen as the fundamental unit of measure rather than the "document." The CBC Ratio is a ratio of hypertext click counts that can be viewed as a false drop measure that determines the average number of irrelevant content-bearing clicks that an enduser check before retrieving relevant information. After measurement data were collected, they were used to evaluate the reliability of several methods for aggregating relevance judgments. After reliability coefficients were calculated, measurement model was used to compare web catalog and web database performance in an experimental setting. Conclusions were the reached concerning the reliability of the proposed measurement model and its ability to measure Internet IR performance, as well as implications for clinical use of the Internet and for future research in Information Science.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis advisor: Lynda Lytle HolmstromRape is a socially constructed behavior used in patriarchal societies to devalue women and ensure male supremacy. Being socially constructed means that the definition of rape can change. This thesis addresses the question of whether an established institution—television—can promote a more progressive definition of rape and help delegitimize it. It uses a feminist content analysis to examine the main themes on 14 episodes of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit (SVU) aired from 2012-2015. It is qualitative and inductive in nature, approached from a grounded theory perspective. The data demonstrate that SVU does, to some extent, present a more progressive view of rape instead of perpetuating the common stereotypes of rape. Essentially, SVU represents a new variety of definitions of rape that are reflective of white, privileged, heterosexual and young women's experiences in the United States. Race, class, sexual orientation and identity are barely taken into account even though many social inequalities based on them characterize American life

Thesis advisor: Maria Estela BriskThis mixed methods research study examined the impact of an intervention designed to prepare mainstream secondary teacher candidates to identify and teach features of Academic English. The intervention was intended to develop Disciplinary Linguistic Knowledge (Turkan, deOliveira, Phelps, and Lee, 2014) through engagement in several tasks for preparing linguistically responsive teachers (Lucas and Villegas, 2013). Pre-tests, post-tests, and artifacts created by teacher candidates in their fieldwork placements, as well as observations of a small group of teacher candidates teaching in their placement classrooms and interviews with these participants, were collected in order to analyze the effect that the intervention had on the teacher candidates’ identification of features of AE and their planning and implementation of instruction in these features. While the teacher candidates accurately identified features of AE on the post-tests and in the artifacts, only a small number of participants planned or implemented instruction in features of AE in their lessons. The experiences of the participants in the small group illustrated that teacher candidates need, in addition to the ability to identify features of Academic English, knowledge about how to teach these features, a commitment to teaching language in their lessons, and the support of supervisors and cooperating teachers who possess the same knowledge and commitment. The findings suggest that teacher education programs should engage both teacher candidates and the individuals who guide the planning and teaching of lessons in their pre-practicum experiences in developing the essential knowledge of and commitment to teaching Academic English in mainstream content area classrooms

Thesis advisor: Lillie Richardson AlbertThe purpose of this research is to identify the categories of South Korean elementary teachers' knowledge for teaching mathematics. Operating under the assumption that elementary teachers' knowledge for teaching affects students' learning, eleven South Korean elementary teachers volunteered to participate in this study. Emerging from the data collected and the subsequent analysis are five categories of South Korean elementary teachers' knowledge for teaching mathematics: Mathematics Curriculum Knowledge, Mathematics Learner Knowledge, Fundamental Mathematics Conceptual Knowledge, Mathematics Pedagogical Content Knowledge, and Mathematics Pedagogical Procedural Knowledge. The first three categories of knowledge play a significant role in mathematics instruction as an integrated form within Mathematics Pedagogical Content Knowledge. A notable conclusion of this study is that Pedagogical Content Knowledge might not be the sum of the other categories of knowledge for teaching mathematics. These findings may be connected to results from relevant studies in terms of the significant role of teachers' knowledge in their mathematics instruction. This study contributes to the existing literature in that it provides empirical bases for understanding teachers' knowledge for teaching mathematics and reveals the relationship among categories of knowledge for teaching mathematics

Šiandien komunikacijai su tikslinėmis auditorijomis įmonės vis dažniau naudoja interneto svetainę – masiškiausią reprezentacijos ir visuomenės informavimo būdą, taupantį komunikavimo laiką ir kaštus, gerinantį klientų aptarnavimą, leidžiantį skverbtis į naujas rinkas ir siūlyti naujas paslaugas. Rinkodaros naudojimas organizacijos interneto svetainėje padeda jai skatinti pardavimus, reklamuotis, stiprinti organizacijos ir prekinių ženklų žinomumą, konkuruoti su kitomis įmonėmis, didinti vartotojų lojalumą. Ryšiai su visuomene (toliau – RSV) svetainėje palaiko santykius su tikslinėmis auditorijomis, informuoja apie prekes ir įmonės veiklą, didina paklausą ir matomumą, mažina rėmimo kaštus, kuria teigiamą organizacijos įvaizdį. Tačiau daugelis įmonių savo svetainėse tinkamai neišnaudoja RSV ir rinkodaros galimybių.
Darbo objektas – Lietuvos prekybos įmonių asociacijos (toliau – LPĮA) narių interneto svetainės. Darbo tikslas – analizuoti internetinės rinkodaros tipus, ištirti ir aprašyti interneto svetainių kaip RSV ir rinkodaros priemonių naudojimą prekybos įmonių komunikacijoje. Siekiant užsibrėžto tikslo, iškelti šie darbo uždaviniai: analizuoti naujųjų komunikacijos technologijų teikiamas galimybes ir interneto svetainių panaudojimą įmonės komunikacijos efektyvumui didinti; nustatyti LPĮA narių interneto svetainių tipus tiriant jose naudojamus rinkodaros ir RSV elementus; apklausus įmones, išskirti jų komunikavimo per svetainę ypatumus.

Full textAbstract:
The signal resulting from the IR-FSE sequence has been thoroughly analyzed in order to improve the accuracy of quantitative T1 mapping of the human brain. Several optimized post-processing algorithms have been studied and compared in terms of their T1 mapping accuracy. The modified multipoint two-parameter fitting method was found to produce less underestimation compared to the traditional multipoint three-parameter fitting method, and therefore, to result in a smaller T1 estimation error. Two correction methods were proposed to reduce the underestimation problem which is commonly seen in IR-FSE sequences used for measuring T1, especially when a large turbo factor is used. The intra-scan linear regression method corrects the systematic error effectively but the RMSE may still increase due to the increase of uncertainty in sequences with large turbo factors. The weighted fitting model corrects not only the systematic error but also the random error and therefore the aggregate RMSE for T1 mapping can be effectively reduced. A new fitting model that uses only three different TI measurements for T1 estimation was proposed. The performance for the three-point fitting method is as good as that of the multipoint fitting method with correction in the phantom simulation. In addition, a new ordering scheme that implements the three-point fitting method is proposed; it is theoretically able to reduce the total scan time by 1/3 compared to the TESO-IRFSE sequence. The performance of the three-point fitting method on the real human brain is also evaluated, and the T1 mapping results are consistent to with the conventional IR-FSE sequence. More samples of true anatomy are needed to thoroughly evaluate the performance of the proposed techniques when applied to T1 mapping of the human brain.

Full textAbstract:
Syfte: Tidigare hållbarhetsredovisning anses ha problem med frånkoppling av finansiella och icke-finansiella strategier, vilket IR avser att lösa. Studier som gjorts visar att IR implementerats oproportionerligt, samt att rapporter som benämns som integrerade, påvisat låg IR-nivå. En möjlig förklaring är dålig förståelse av detta förhållandevis nya begrepp. Stora skillnader i IR-nivå gör det svårt att få en tydlig bild av den faktiska implementeringen av IR. Syftet för denna studie är att kartlägga IR-nivån bland stora svenska företag som benämnt sina årsredovisningar som integrerade, samt att ge praktiska exempel utifrån IR-ramverket. Slutligen används legitimitetsteorin och greenwashing för att förklara resultatet. Metod: Studiens process har varit abduktiv, och en kvalititativ strategi har anammats. Designen för studien är tvärsnitt. Empirin har samlats in genom kvalitativ innehållsanalys av 14 svenska företags årsredovisningar, valda genom ett målstyrt urval. Därefter har data insamlats och analyserats med hjälp av ett kodningsschema som i sin tur har utgått från den normativa referensramen. Datan har sedan presenterats i tabell, samt narrativt. Resultat och slutsats: Studien har visat att de undersökta företagen påvisar en ojämn IR-nivå, där företagen lyckats bäst inom strategiskt fokus och framtidsorientering, medan en lägre nivå uppnås inom väsentlighet och kopplingar mellan information. Detta kan bero på otillräcklig spridning av IR-ramverket och/eller greenwashing. Kartläggningen visar därmed att de flesta rapporter snarare är blandade än integrerade. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: För att fånga upp huruvida omvandlingsfunktionen är en del av företagens IR, föreslås en kvalitativ fallstudie av enstaka företag. Vidare hade det varit intressant att göra en longitudinell studie för att se hur företagens IR-nivå förändras över tid. Uppsatsens bidrag: Studiens viktigaste bidrag är att genom kartläggningen ge praktiska exempel för företag att beakta, samt att fylla kunskapsgapet som finns kring implementering av IR i svenska företag.Aim: Sustainability reporting is considered to have problems with a disconnection of financial and non-financial strategies, which IR intends to solve. Previous studies show that IR has been implemented disproportionately, and that the reports referred to as integrated, demonstrated a low IR-level. A possible explanation is a poor understanding of the relatively new concept. Large differences in the IR-level makes it difficult to get a clear picture of the actual implementation of IR. The purpose of this study is to identify the IR-level of large Swedish companies who self-declared their reports as integrated, and to provide practical examples on the basis of the IR framework. Finally, legitimacy theory and greenwashing is used to explain the results. Method: The process of the study has been abductive, and a qualitative strategy has been adopted. The design of the study is cross-sectional. The empirical data were collected through qualitative content analysis of 14 Swedish companies’ annual reports, selected through a purposive sample. Subsequently, data was acquired and analyzed using a coding frame, based on the normative framework. The data have been presented in tables and in narratives. Result & Conclusions: The study has shown that the companies indicate an uneven IR level, where companies have been most successful in strategic focus and future orientation, while a lower level is achieved within materiality and connectivity of information. This may be due to inadequate diffusion of the IR framework and/or due to greenwashing. The mapping thus shows that most reports are mixed rather than integrated. Suggestions for future research: To capture whether the transformation function is part of the companies’ IR, a qualitative case study of individual companies is proposed. Furthermore, a longitudinal study to see how the companies IR-level changes over time would be interesting. Contribution of the thesis: The most important contribution of the study is that the mapping provides practical examples for companies to consider, as well as filling the knowledge gap existing regarding the implementation of IR in Swedish companies.

Šiame diplominiame darbe nagrinėjamas civilinių teisių gynybos institutas – savigyna. Lietuvoje ji buvo žinoma nuo seniausių laikų. Sovietų Sąjungai okupavus Lietuvą, savigyna buvo uždrausta. Kadangi šiuolaikinėje Lietuvos civilinėje teisėje šis institutas atsirado kartu su naujuoju Civiliniu kodeksu, Lietuvos teisės teoretikų jis dar beveik neanalizuotas. Teismų praktika taikant savigyną reglamentuojančias teisės normas irgi labai nedidelė. Visa tai nulėmė autoriaus pasirinkimą plačiau paanalizuoti savigyną Lietuvos civilinėje teisėje.
Darbe magistrantas atskleidžia savigynos teisinę prigimtį, t. y. nurodo jos vietą civilinių teisių gynybos sistemoje. Autorius prieina išvadą, kad Lietuvos Respublikos civiliniame kodekse savigyna įtvirtinta kaip viena iš neteisminių civilinių teisių gynybos formų.
Magistrantas analizuoja savigynos sąvokos ir turinio probleminius aspektus. Atsižvelgdamas į tai, kaip savigyna Lietuvoje buvo suprantama Statutų galiojimo ir vėlesniais laikais, ir remdamasis savigynos samprata kitų valstybių civiliniuose įstatymuose, jis konstatuoja, kad Lietuvos Respublikos civiliniame kodekse savigynos samprata yra nepagrįstai susiaurinta.

Self-defence was forbidden when Lithuania was occupied by the Soviet Union. As this institute only appeared in the modern civil law in Lithuania together with the new Civil Code, it has not yet been analyzed by Lithuanian law theoreticians in more detail. Practice of courts applying legal norms which regulate self-defence is also limited.

Tyrimo tema - ,,Mokyklos audito rezultatų panaudojimas efektyvinant mokyklos vadybą”. Darbo autorius – edukologijos fakulteto švietimo vadybos ir socialinės psichologijos neakivaizdinio skyriaus studentė Rasa Misiukevičienė.
Ilgai pagrindiniu mokyklų vertinimo kriterijumi buvo laikomi moksleivių akademiniai pasiekimai, įstojusiųjų į aukštąsias mokyklas skaičius. Tačiau mokyklos siekiai kur kas platesni nei parengti vaiką universitetui: ugdyti savarankišką, pilietišką, dorą asmenybę.
Nuo šiol mokyklos gali įvertinti save pagal Bendrojo lavinimo mokyklos audito metodiką. Vadovaudamasi ja, kiekviena mokykla turi galimybę patikrinti kokybę, suvokti trūkumus, numatyti plėtros perspektyvą.
Darbo hipotezė – vidinis auditas atskleid���ia vidinius mokyklos privalumus ir trūkumus.
Tikslas - susipažinti su audito metodika ir gautų rezultatų pagrindu išryškinti mokyklos vadybos privalumus ir trūkumus
Uždaviniai:
• Išsiaiškinti ar auditas yra vienas iš svarbiausių ir patikimiausių informacijos šaltinių.
• Įvertinti mokyklos esamą situaciją ir išsiaiškinti privalumus ir trūkumus.
Tyrimo metodai: stebėjimas, anketinė apklausa, pokalbis, interviu, dokumentų analizė.
Pirmajame skyriuje pristatomi teoriniai tiriamojo darbo pagrindai: audito samprata, klasifikavimas.
Antrajame skyriuje apžvelgiamas švietimo įstaigos vertinimas .
Trečiajame skyriuje pateikiama vidaus audito, atlikto mokykloje, analizė.

The author of the paper is Rasa Misiukevičienė, the student of Management of Education and Social Psychology, in Education Faculty, the Department of Extramural Studies. For a long time the main school assessment’s criteria were considered student’s academic achievements and the number of the students that entered high schools. However, school’s objectives are much wider than just preparing students for university: the objectives are also to educate an independent, public-spirited and fair personality. From now on schools can evaluate themselves according to the methodology of audit of comprehensive school. According to it, every school has a chance to check quality, realize disadvantages and anticipate perspective of development. The hypothesis of the paper is that internal audit reveals inner advantages and disadvantages of school. The aim - to get acquainted with the methodology of audit and to highlight the advantages and disadvantages of school’s management according to the basis of results. The tasks: • To ascertain if audit is one of the most important and reliable sources of economic information • To evaluate present situation of school and ascertain both advantages and disadvantages.

Abejose šalyse teisė kreiptis į teismą teisminės gynybos reglamentuojama aukščiausią teisinę galią turinčio teisės akto, t. y. Konstitucijos, normomis. Teisės kreiptis į teismą teisinis reguliavimas, esant asmens teisių pažeidimui privatiniuose teisiniuose santykiuose, Lietuvoje ir Vokietijoje skiriasi: Vokietijos Pagrindinio įstatymo 19 str. 4 d. garantuoja teisę kreiptis į teism���� tik tuo atveju, kai teisių pažeidėjas yra viešoji valdžia. Tačiau Vokietijos Konstitucinis Teismas yra konstatavęs, jog teisiniams ginčams, nepatenkantiems į Pagrindinio įstatymo 19 str. 4 d. ribas, teisė kreiptis į teismą garantuojama įtvirtintu teisinės valstybės principu. Priešingai nei Vokietijoje, Lietuvos Konstitucijoje yra įtvirtinta bendroji teisės norma, taikoma kilusiems ginčams tiek civiliniuose, tiek kitokio pobūdžio teisiniuose santykiuose.

Das Ziel dieser Magisterarbeit ist die Prozessordnung der Verwirklichung vom Justizgewaehrungsanspruch in Litauen und in Deutschland zu vergleichen.

Thesis advisor: Hideo KonishiThe majority of this work focuses on the theoretical analysis of collective action, group efficiency, and incentive mechanisms in team contests where individual outlays of heterogeneous agents are not observable. The reward allocation within the group is instead dependent on observable worker characteristics, modeled as individual abilities, as well as on the observable level of aggregate output. I study the incentives for free-riding and the group-size paradox under a very general set of intra-team allocation rules. I further derive the optimal allocation mechanism which rewards agents according to a general-logit specification based on their relative ability. I derive conditions under which a team's performance is most sensitive to the ability of its highest-skill members, while at the same time higher spread in the distribution of ability has a positive effect on group output. In the final chapter I shift attention to the problem of optimal player order choice in dynamic pairwise team battles. I show that even if player order choice is conducted endogenously and sequentially after observing the outcomes of earlier rounds, then complete randomization over remaining agents is always a subgame perfect equilibrium. The zero-sum nature of these type of contests implies that expected payoffs for each team are independent of whether the contest matching pairs are determined endogenously and sequentially or announced before the start of the game. In both cases the ex-ante payoffs are equivalent to those when an independent contest organizer randomly draws the matches

Full textAbstract:
Thesis advisor: Rebecca SchendelOrganizational culture was originally addressed in the management literature in the late 1970s (e.g. Pettigrew, 1979; Deal & Kennedy, 1982). Scholars have later on extended the discussion to include higher education institutions (e.g. Tierney, 2008). However, the majority of the literature on organizational culture in higher education is based on institutions that follow and are placed within the Western model. Despite the lack of direct evidence, it is fair to suspect that there is a relationship between the culture of an organization and its national/regional context. This study investigates the nature of that relationship and provide real world examples through an in-depth case study on the American University of Madaba (AUM). In evaluating AUM’s organizational culture, this study explores the institution’s organizational identity and its organizational design (the sum of the two, in this study, constitutes the culture of the organization). The data suggests that AUM’s organizational identity holographically (Albert & Whetten, 2004) brings together four different identity pieces: American, Catholic, Jordanian, and not-for-profit. The study concludes that the institution’s focus on its American identity and partial neglect in incorporating its other identity pieces into its organizational design with equal weight lead to a misalignment between its espoused, attributed, shared and aspirational organizational values (Broune & Jenkins, 2013), which ultimately leads to a misalignment between its organizational identity and its organizational design, resulting in what would be generally considered an unhealthy organizational culture (Gulua, 2018). In AUM’s case, this misalignment causes an amended combination of what the literature presents as an expectation gap and a dislocation gap in organizational values (Broune & Jenkins, 2013). However, context-relativity (a crucial concept in this study), with its historical, economic, political, socio-cultural and colonial components, is highly impactful in studying the relationship between AUM’s organizational culture and its national/regional context and impacts our understanding of the initial findings. This study reveals that there is a strong conception in the Middle East that American higher education = good quality (but good quality does not necessarily equal American). Therefore, in the light of context-relativity, AUM’s organizational gaps and the misalignment between its identity and design is not a matter of unauthenticity, but rather lack of options. Being an American institution in the Middle East comes with a market advantage; therefore, such an approach is a way for AUM to survive in a world where global power dynamics carry strong preconceptions about the quality of American higher education. By being American “enough” to maintain its market advantage and being Jordanian “enough” to keep the peace with their students and staff and the surrounding community, AUM, as a young higher education institution, is finding a way to survive and advance its quality in the process

Thesis advisor: Babak MomeniMicrobial communities are complex networks comprised of multiple species that are facilitating and inhibiting one another (as well as themselves). Currently, we lack an understanding of what mechanisms drive coexistence within these communities. We aimed to remedy this by studying the dynamics of coexisting communities, focusing on the complexity of their interaction networks, the impact of spatial dynamics, and the interplay of facilitating and inhibiting interactions. These limitations in our understanding prevent the furtherment of designing intentional communities for bioremediation, maintenance of healthy microbiota, and other functional communities. To better understand these microbial dynamics, we chose to address the problem from two fronts: computational modeling and exploring dynamics of cocultures. Through our 1-D model, spatial structure fostering more coexistence – especially when facilitation is present. For the coexistence assays, we determined that contact-dependent growth inhibition is a density dependent mechanism, and the use of a Tn-Seq mutant library to predict species interactions is possible, but needs further optimization to reconcile density dependent effects of interactions

Prior research indicates that Spontaneous Focusing On Number (SFON) measured in the preschool years is predictive of mathematical achievement as late as age 12 (Hannula & Lehtinen, 2005; Hannula-Sormunen, Lepola, & Lehtinen, 2010). Therefore, there is great need to examine how young children’s attention to number is affected by various contexts. This study investigated how heterogeneity vs. homogeneity of the arrays, and verbal labels for the quantities presented affected young children’s attention to number, compared to their attention to cumulative surface area. We found that participants preference for and attention to number was correlated with their number knowledge, but only when the items they were presented with were homogeneous, not heterogeneous. This suggests that homogeneous arrays are important for children’s attention to number and individuation and could be used as a tool to help children better hone in on mathematical concepts

Informacijos amžiuje įvairūs tyrimo metodai generuoja milžiniškus kiekius duomenų, tačiau naudojant tik neapdorotus duomenis sunku atskleisti tiriamų objektų prigimtį, išsiaiškinti pagrindinę, kartais paslėptą struktūrą. Naudingai informacijai, o vėliau ir žinioms iš duomenų išgauti paprastai naudojami informacijos suformavimo (Information Retrieval) ir duomenų išgavimo (Data Mining) būdai. Panašumo tarp įvairių esybių nustatymas čia vaidina bene svarbiausią vaidmenį. Egzistuoja daugybė objektų tarpusavio panašumo nustatymo modelių ir teorijų, bet dauguma jų vienaip ar kitaip remiasi tam tikru objektų požymių tarpusavio palyginimu. Jau kurį laiką kalbama apie tai, kad dviejų esybių tarpusavio panašumas yra įtakojamas ne tik tų esybių požymių, bet ir konteksto, kuriame jie pasireiškia. Vadinasi dviejų esybių tarpusavio panašumas priklausomai nuo konteksto gali skirtis. Darbe aptariama kontekstinio panašumo svarba, esami konteksto apibrėžimai ir keli kontekstinį panašumą vertinantys matai. Išnagrinėjus literatūros šaltinius bus pristatytas kontekstinio panašumo formavimo būdas, kurio veikimas tiriamas naudojant dirbtinius ir realius duomenis.Similarity is one of the most important aspects in the area of information retrieval and data mining. A new trend in similarity judgment assumes that similarity between two objects can not be expressed as a fixed value and depends on the context in which the similarity is measured. However no formal definition of context has yet been specified. In this thesis a new formal context definition is proposed and a method to measure contextual similarity is developed. The main idea behind this method is to extract context information from distinct groups of data. This method is tested with synthetic and real-world data sets comparing context similarity measure with distance based similarity. Results indicate that taking the similarity into account may cause significant changes in object similarity. This work shows the importance of context when measuring similarity.

Nusikaltimai žmogaus seksualinio apsisprendimo laisvei ir neliečiamumui 1961 m. galiojusiame baudžiamajame kodekse išdėstyti kiek kitaip. Baudžiamoji atsakomybė už lytinės aistros tenkinimą natūraliu, oraliniu bei analiniu būdu buvo reglamentuota viename kodekso straipsnyje – „Išžaginimas“ ir saugojo tik moters seksualinio apsisprendimo laisvę ir nepilnametės seksualinį neliečiamumą.
Įsigaliojus naujajam LR BK, išžaginimo norma išskirta į du nusikaltimus – išžaginimas ir seksualinis prievartavimas tokiu būdu iš išžaginimo normos „atimant“ oralinį ir analinį nusikaltimo padarymo būdus bei papildant nauju požymiu – kitoks fizinis sąlytis. Reikalingumą kriminalizuoti lytinės aistros tenkinimą kitokio fizinio sąlyčio būdu sąlygojo kintantys visuomenės santykiai ir atsirandančios vis naujos lytinės aistros tenkinimo kitokio fizinio sąlyčio būdu formos. Tačiau dėl plačiai suformuluotos minėto požymio koncepcijos teismai susiduria su šio požymio kvalifikavimo problemomis. Taip pat iškilo ir lytinės aistros tenkinimo su mažamečiu atribojimo nuo mažamečio asmens tvirkinimo bei seksualinio prievartavimo ir išžaginimo tęstinumo ir šių nusikaltimų kvalifikavimo iš sutapties problemos. Atsižvelgiant į šių nusikaltimų kvalifikavimo problemas, išžaginimo nebelaikant pačia pavojingiausia lytinės aistros tenkinimo forma, lyginant šiuos nusikaltimus pavojingumo, pasekmių atžvilgiu bei atsižvelgiant į tai, kad šių nusikaltimų objektas yra toks pat, kyla abejonės dėl išžaginimo normos...

Criminal liability for sexual satisfaction in a natural, oral or anal way was regulated by a single article of the code – „rape“ and protected only woman‘s self-determination and minor sexual inviolability. Due to effect of the new Criminal Code the rate of rape divided into two crimes – rape and sexual assault taking away the oral and anal way from rape and adding a new feature – other physical contact. The need to criminalize sexual desire satisfaction in other physical contact method resulted in changing public reactions and emerging a new sexual passion for satisfying other forms of physical contact way. However, due to widely formulated concept of this character, courts faced with this character qualification problems. they also had a problem with finding the borderline between young person‘s sexual abuse and satisfaction of sexual passion with young person. also there are sexual assault and rape of continuity and qualificaion of these crimes in coincidence problems. In view of the problems of qualification of these crimes, rape not being considered the most dangerous form of sexual desire satisfaction, comparing these crimes hazard, result and taking into account the fact that the object of these crimes is the same, there are doubts of rape extraction into two offences of necesity. Aim of this work is the analysis of criminal law doctrine and case law to... [to full text]

Full textAbstract:
Thesis advisor: Thomas D. StegmanThe majority of exegetes agree that the so-called “Letter” to the Hebrews is actually a homily, meant to be read aloud to a Christian community gathered for worship. In The Context of the Text: Reading Hebrews as a Eucharistic Homily, I argue that the specific venue for the public reading of Hebrews was a celebration of the Eucharist. It is my contention that the author presumed and exploited this Eucharistic setting in order to bolster his claims about the superiority of Christ and his sacrifice to the sacrifices of the “first covenant”, as well as to entreat his readers to remain faithful to Christian Eucharistic worship. This dissertation begins in Chapter 1 by considering the “state of the question,” examining the positions of scholars who take – respectively – negative, agnostic and positive positions regarding Eucharistic references in Hebrews. Chapter 2 situates the question of Hebrews and the Eucharist within the broader milieu of the liturgical provenance of New Testament writings. Chapter 3 considers the issues of Hebrews’ authorship, date of composition, audience, rhetorical strategy, and literary structure as they pertain to my argument that the text was written for proclamation at the Eucharist. Chapter 4 offers an extensive study of several passages from Hebrews which appear to allude to the Eucharist without mentioning the sacrament explicitly (Hebrews 6:4; 9:20; 10:19-25; 12:22-24; 13:10; and 13:15), setting forth the claim that the allusive nature of these references is explained by the Eucharistic milieu for which the homily was written. In particular, I argue that a Eucharistic understanding of Hebrews 13:10 (“We have an altar from which those who officiate in the tent have no right to eat”) is the linchpin for understanding other Eucharistic references in Hebrews and that this verse serves as a major reinforcement of the author’s earlier claims regarding the supreme efficacy of Christ’s redemptive work. I hold that the author’s mention of an “altar” in 13:10 is meant to be understood as a reference to the Eucharistic table and that, taken as such, this statement parallels the claim in 8:1 (“We have such a high priest”) in order to demonstrate that Christians have both a superior priest (Christ) and a superior cultic act (the Eucharist). Finally, Chapter 5 considers interpretive traditions (particularly patristic and Eastern) which bolster the case for a Eucharistic interpretation of Hebrews

Adolescence is a critical developmental stage where the health behaviors and choices that adolescents make have the potential to affect their long-term health and well-being (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2014). This dissertation contributes three distinct studies on the contextual influences that shape adolescents' health behaviors. The first study, "The Role of Psychosocial Conditions on Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Risk among U.S. Young Adults," grounded in life course and syndemics theory, utilized logistic regressions to examine the role of co-occurring psychosocial conditions (childhood sexual abuse and physical abuse; depression and illicit drug use in adolescence) on STI infection (chlamydia and trichomoniasis) and sexual risk behaviors among U.S. young adults. Multiple co-occurring psychosocial conditions had an additive effect on sexual risk behaviors but no effect was observed on STIs. The second study, "Sexually Transmitted Infections and Neighborhood Poverty: The Role of Individual Resilience and Social Connectedness," utilized resilience and ecological systems theory, and logistic regressions to test if individual resilience and social connectedness (maternal, peer, and school) moderate the association between concentrated neighborhood poverty and STIs (chlamydia and trichomoniasis) among U.S. young adults. The study's main finding is that youth who reported more school connectedness and lived in high concentrated poverty in adolescence were less likely to test positive for chlamydia but were more likely to test positive for trichomoniasis. Utilizing a similar framework, "Sleeping in a Digital World: The Role of Excessive Media Use on Sleep Inadequacy Among U.S. Adolescents," examined family and neighborhood determinants that shape adolescent sleep behaviors. Grounded in the ecological systems theory and social learning theory, logistic regressions, stratified by age (aged 10-12 vs. 13-17), were used to examine the associations between excessive media use and sleep inadequacy. The study found that among older adolescents, sleep inadequacy was associated with excessive computer use. Older adolescents who watched television excessively and had media present in the bedroom were more likely to be sleep inadequate. Together, these three studies shed light on the different contextual environments in which adolescents experience health risks and resilience and will help to inform interventions that promote adolescent health and well-being
