Darba autore– Inese Vilcāne Darba vadītājs – Mg.oec. Jānis Bisenieks Darba nosaukums - Personala informācijas un komunikācijas sistēmas izpēte un tās pilnveide Jēkabpils Agrobiznesa koledžā. Pētījuma objekts – Jēkabpils Agrobiznesa koledža Kvalifikācijas darba mērķis - izpētīt un pilnveidot personala informācijas un komunikācijas sistēmu Jēkabpils Agrobiznesa koledžā. Jo kā jebkurā organizācijā, arī koledžā komunikācija skar visas vadītāja funkcijas, tā ir nepieciešama, lai organizācija attīstītos veiksmīgi. Bez komunikācijas nebūtu iespējams uzņēmumu vadīt, organizēt un koordinēt. Kvalifikācijas darbs sastāv no divām daļām: teorētiskās un praktiskās daļas. Teorētiskajā daļā apskatīta komunikācijas loma personāla vadītāja procesā un komunikācijas veidi. Tā kā organizācija sastāv no savā darbībā savstarpēji atkarīgu cilvēku kopuma, tad komunikācija kļūst par obligātu priekšnoteikumu, lai nodrošinātu atsevišķu indivīdu funkciju īstenošanu atbilstoši organizācijas mērķiem. Katra vadītāja darba diena sastāv no daudziem atbildīgiem uzdevumiem, no kuriem lielu daļu nav iespējams veikt bez komunikācijas palīdzības, jo darba pienākumos ietilpst ieplānotas un neieplānotas tikšanās, sarunas pa tālruni, vēstuļu, paziņojumu, vēstījumu lasīšana un atbilžu rakstīšanu. Vairāk nekā puse dienas darbalaika vadītājs ir saistīts ar dažādiem komunikācijas veidiem. Praktiskajā daļā ir intervija, kurā tika intervētēta Jēkabpils Agrobiznesa koledžas personāla daļas vadītāja. Intervijā ir atspoguļots darbs koledžā, un ka komunikācija ir neatņemama sastāvdaļa katrā darbadienā. Caur komunikācijas procesu tiek risinātas dažādas problēmas, kas saitītas ar darbu un veicamiem uzdevumiem. Darba izstrādes gaitā gūtās atziņas formulētas secinājumos un priekšlikumos. Kvalifikācijas darba apjoms ir 39 lpp., 2 tabulas, 6 attēli un 3 pielikumi. Darba izstrādei izmantoti 12 informācijas avoti.  Author of work - Inese Vilcane Labor leader - Mg.oec. Janis Bisenieks Title of work - Personal information and communication systems research and development Jekabpils Agrobusiness College. The object of research - Jekabpils Agrobusiness College The aim qualification - to explore and develop the personnel information and communication systems Jekabpils Agrobusiness College. For as in any organization, the College of communication affects all functions, it is necessary for an organization to develop successfully. Without communication it would be impossible to drive the companies, organizing and coordinating. The qualification work consists of two parts: theoretical and practical parts. The theoretical part discusses the role of communication in the process of personnel manager and ways of communication. As an organization consists of a group of interdependent people in their activities, communication becomes a prerequisite for ensuring the implementation of individual functions of individuals in accordance with the objectives of the organization. Each manager's working day consists of many responsible tasks, many of which can not be carried out without communication assistance, since the duties include scheduled and unplanned meetings, telephone conversations, letters, announcements, reading messages and writing responses. More than half a day worker is associated with different types of communication. In the practical part there is an interview where the head of the staff of Jekabpils Agrobusiness College was interviewed. The interview reflects the work of college and that communication is an integral part of every business day. Through the communication process, various problems related to work and tasks are addressed. The lessons learned in the development of the work are formulated in conclusions and proposals. The qualification paper is 39 pages, 2 tables, 6 images and 3 annexes. Work development used 12 sources of information

The New Occupational Electromagnetic Fields' Directive 2013/35/EU Compared to the Existing Estonian National Legislation

The electromagnetic fields are classified as “emerging health risks”. The emergence of new radiofrequency technologies has introduced some of the labor force to new types of electromagnetic fields’ exposure. In 2013 a new European directive (2013/35/EU) was released to provide European Union workers with a comprehensive set of protective principles against the electromagnetic fields. The European Union member states should harmonize their national legislation to the new directive by 2016. The current paper analyses the differences in the Estonian existing occupational electromagnetic fields reference values compared to the ones’ in the new directive. The two sets of reference values differ from each other in most of the given frequency spans. In some frequencies the national regulation is more restrictive, whereas in other frequencies the directive is more restrictive - up to ten times difference. Based on the principles laid down in the directive, the new national regulation should follow the reference values from each frequency span whichever is more favorable towards the workers

Reducing Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields from Wireless Networking with Portable Computers

The relevance of this study is determined by the rapid development in the portable computer and wireless data transmission technologies. Modern working and living environments have become abundant in radiofrequency electromagnetic fields. This article investigates the effectiveness of intervention measures to reduce laptop computer user’s exposure to the radiofrequency electromagnetic field from wireless networking. Different exposure reduction solutions using 2G, 3G, 4G wireless network modems are studied. Intervention measures include: 1) selecting an area with better wireless network reception and 2) placing the network modem away from the user at different distances. The results show the greatest reduction in exposure when the wireless modem was placed outside the workplace, away from the line of sight. The reception quality also played a determining role in the output power of the computer’s wireless modem. Therefore, the highest exposure levels were detected while the wireless modem was closest to the user’s body and under the poorest network reception conditions

Reducing Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields from Wireless Networking with Laptop Computers

Mobile modems are used with laptops to connect Internet wirelessly. Recently several organisations, including the WHO IARC and the European Union have emphasised health risk-management practices related to wireless devices. We present here radio frequency (RF) power density measurements when a wireless modem is 30 cm, 1 m and 5 m from a user. Our results indicate that by using a USB cable and adding distance between a user and a wireless modem, there is a substantial reduction of exposure. Additionally we noticed a great difference in GSM/EDGE versus 3G/HSDPA radiation power density levels. Therefore, precautionary principle and USB-cable related risk-management practise is recommended when utilising wireless modems with laptops

The Comparison Study of Office Workers’ Workplace Health Hazards in Different Type of Buildings

The aim of the study is to investigate the office-workers’ working conditions in the ordinary and atrium-type buildings. The indoor climate conditions in the cold season in two type of university buildings are presented. The air temperature is on the good level in the both of the buildings. The rooms in the atrium-side of the building A are too tight and the ergonomics is not considered designing the workplaces in the office-rooms. In the auditoriums of the building B it is too noisy (over 70 dB(A)) during the breaks that prevents the rest and the communication between the workers and students. The air humidity is too low in both type of the buildings (< 30% in the cold season, when the rooms are central-heated). It is recommended to moisten the air in the rooms artificially. For the health risk assessment in the workrooms a flexible risk assessment model is used. The risk levels for the indoor climate factors are different in the two type of buildings

The State Fire and Rescue Service (hereinafter referred to as SFRS) also carries out regular training studies in the UE, but these studies lack the methodology. The research results could be used as a basis for the implementation of theoretical and practical training methods/exercises when training the SFRS officers

Methods for Evaluation of Firefighting Capacity of Microencapsulated Halon 21711 and Fire-extinguishing Gas Act-45 Tapes

Human security is one of the main tasks of the fire protection system; great attention should be devoted to situations, where evacuation is not possible and extinguishing gas leak takes place. It is, therefore, important to study the firefighting efficiency of gases, their toxicity and impact on living organisms and the environment in general. The studies carried out showed that at the early stage of fire the microencapsulated gas bands free of ozone-depletion potential are the most effective means of fighting fire in small, enclosed spaces
