Awareness of families regarding the methods of speech therapy prevention
Full text linkTITLE: Awareness of families regarding the methods of speech therapy prevention AUTHOR: Monika Hroudová DEPARTMENT: Department of Special pedagogy SUPERVISOR: Mgr. Lucie Durdilová ANNOTATION: The aim of the theoretical part of this bachelor's thesis is to describe basic concepts related to the prevention of speech impediments, by using current literature, existing knowledge and research, characterize the most common forms of comminication disorder that usually occur in preschool children and inform about ways of how to prevent speech disorders, mainly primary ones (How can parents prevent the occurrence of speech defects among their children from an earliest possible age). Awareness of parents of the possibilities to prevent speech defects, of child's speech development and of thequality of related literature, will be determinated by a questionnare, this means a quantitative research method. Questionnare will be focused on parents with children between 3-4 years old
[Rezension zu:] Albrecht Koschorke: Körperströme und Schriftverkehr
No full textRezension zu Albrecht Koschorke: Körperströme und Schriftverkehr. Mediologie des 18. Jahrhunderts. München (Fink) 1999. 507 Seiten.
Der Kern- und Ausgangsthese Albrecht Koschorkes zufolge lassen sich die "großen Umwälzungen des 18. Jahrhunderts [...] als Veränderungen der Zirkulationsweisen sozialer Energien beschreiben". Dieser erste auf die Einführung folgende Satz seiner Berliner Habilitationsschrift enthält in nuce nicht nur den in acht folgenden Kapiteln erhobenen und konkretisierten Befund, sondern er bringt zudem die Denk- und Verfahrensweise des Verfassers prägnant zum Ausdruck. Koschorke geht es um das Große Ganze: Um Befunde, die ganze Epochen betreffen und diese auf den Nenner einer generellen Formel bringen, um die Kartierung weitläufiger diskursiver Felder aus der Flugperspektive
Need for cognition relates to low-level visual performance in a metacontrast masking paradigm
No full textNeed for cognition (NFC) refers to dispositional differences in cognitive motivation and has been frequently found to predict higher-order cognition, such as attitude formation and decision making. Based on recent evidence, this study examined whether NFC already relates to relatively early perceptual processes. Using a metacontrast masking paradigm (N = 137), we found that high-NFC individuals were more likely to use target-specific perceptual cues providing valid information for target discrimination, while low-NFC individuals were more likely to use less reliable heuristic cues for their judgement. Intriguingly, our results suggest that core mechanisms of NFC (focussed/elaborative vs. peripheral/heuristic processing by differential utilization of environmental cues) can not only be found in reflective higher-order cognition, but similarly in behavioral indicators of early visual processing.

No full textFinal Death of the Author: Creativity in the Age of Information Society
Full text linkPretpostavimo da je kreativnost rezultat unutarnjeg dijaloga kreativnog pojedinca (autora) iz kojega nastaje nova informacija. No kako onda razumjeti kreativnost danas, kada je naša individualna svijest proširena elektronskim medijima i telemetrijski uključena u “globalni mozak”? Sveprisutnost informacijske i komunikacijske tehnologije omogućuje nam da stvaramo nove informacije brže negoli ikad prije i pohranjujemo ih u forme umjetne memorije, u koje može svatko ući. S obzirom na to čini se da je pojam autorstva prevladan, a unutarnji dijalog zamijenjen intersubjektivnim dijalogom. Držeći se teorije medija Viléma Flussera i Marshalla McLuhana, problematiziram novu paradigmu kreativnosti kakva se razvija u dobu informacijske tehnologije.If we assume that creativity is a result of the inner dialogue of creative individual (author), during which he creates an improbable combination of elements (i.e. new information), how can we comprehend creativity today, after we technologically extended our individual consciousness and connected it into a “global brain” via telematics? Prevalence of information and communications technology enables us to create more new information than ever, and allows us to store it in artificial memory, where it could be reused by almost anyone. In the age of ICT, author seems to be superfluous and the inner dialogue has been replaced by interpersonal dialogue. Taken into consideration Vilém Flusser’s and Marshall McLuhan’s theory of media, I will try to problematize new paradigm of creativity, as it is disclosing in information society

Repräsentationen des Insularen. Mittelmeerinseln als Orte der Vernetzung, Verbannung, Selbstfindung
No full textIn diversen theoretischen Ansätzen dient das Konzept Insel als tragendes Modell: als Mikrowelt mit gut konturierten Machtverhältnissen und Lebensformen; als Chiffre eines Existenzmodus, der in den postmodernen Gesellschaften immer vorherrschender wird; als Fluchtort und Projektionsraum für den individualistischen Anspruch, die bisherige Lebenswelt hinter sich lassend ein neues, abgeschnittenes, freieres Leben zu eröffnen – wie für die Aussteiger_innenkultur der 60er bis 80er. Für postkoloniale Theorien stellt die Insel einen Raum des Machtkonflikts zwischen imperialen, d.i. meistens kontinentalen Kräften und lokalen Kulturen dar, die im Prozess der Entkolonisierung ihre insulare, antihegemoniale Identität verteidigt haben.
Die Inseln des Mittelmeers erfüllen im Laufe ihrer jahrtausendalten Kulturgeschichte eine doppelte Funktion: Einerseits gelten sie als selbstzentrierte, schutzanbietende Räume, andererseits erweisen sie sich als produktive, mit dem Festland gut konnektierte Produktionszentren. Der Beitrag versucht, anhand einiger aus mehreren Kulturen, geographischen Räumen und Textsorten entnommener literarischer Beispiele (Foscolo, DeLillo, Hölderlin, Ritsos) diese Dialektik zwischen Separatheit und Vernetzung zu rekonstruieren, die den verschiedenen Repräsentationen des Insularen zu Grunde liegt
