Planning in Brazil, India and Germany
No full textPlanning is a fundamental cognitive ability that helps in organizing and structuring events unfolding in a person\u27s daily life. Two studies are presented that analyze planning behavior in different cultures: Brazil, India, and Germany. The first is a cross-cultural psychological study in which students develop plans for uncertain problem scenarios. The second study follows a cultural psychological tradition. Workers from different domains are interviewed about their life problems and plans. The strengths and the weaknesses of both approaches become obvious in the description and discussion of these two studies. The cross-cultural study sheds light on cross-cultural similarities and differences in planning in Brazil, India, and Germany. The cultural psychological approach yields data regarding a theoretical model on the specific cultural influences on planning
Decision Making in Individualistic and Collectivistic Cultures
No full textHow do cultural values influence individuals\u27 decision making? One would expect answers to this question either from cognitive psychology or from cross-cultural psychology. Cognitive theories on decision making, however, rarely consider the factor of culture, and research in cross-cultural psychology deals only to a small extent with decision making. Therefore the study of culture and decision making is a relatively new and unexplored field. In this paper normative and descriptive approaches to decision making are discussed and three cross-cultural studies on decision making in individualistic and collectivist cultures using different methodologies are described. The results are integrated into a model that can be helpful to derive specific hypotheses for further studies in this field

Sustainability and health on the plate : an analysis of the training of aspiring chefs in Austria
No full textHintergrund Nachhaltige und gesundheitsfördernde Ernährung gewinnt angesichts ökologischer und gesundheitlicher Herausforderungen an Bedeutung. Fachkräfte der Gastronomie spielen dabei eine zentrale Rolle, insbesondere in der Gemeinschaftsverpflegung. Ziel war es, zu untersuchen, in welchem Ausmaß gesunde und nachhaltige Ernährung in der schulischen Kochausbildung in Österreich vermittelt wird und wie Auszubildende diese wahrnehmen. Methoden Im Rahmen eines Mixed-Methods-Designs wurden Lehrpläne qualitativ analysiert und eine Online-Befragung mit offenen und geschlossenen Fragen durchgeführt. Ergänzt wurde sie durch eine Aufgabe zur Erstellung einer Zutatenliste für ein gesundes und nachhaltiges Mittagessen. Ergebnisse 153 Auszubildenden aus fünf Bundesländern nahmen teil. Die Analyse der Unterrichtsunterlagen zeigte nur vereinzelte thematische Bezüge. Rund 70 % (n=107) bewerteten gesunde und nachhaltige Ernährung als eher oder sehr wichtig. Weniger als 20 % (n=29) empfanden die Behandlung dieser Themen im Unterricht als sehr ausführlich; der Großteil – rund 70 % (n=107) – stufte die Inhalte als mittelmäßig oder eher ausführlich vertreten ein. In den offenen Antworten zu Verbesserungsvorschlägen wurde am häufigsten der Wunsch nach mehr Wissensvermittlung geäußert (57-mal). Als zentrale Kriterien gesunder Ernährung wurden am häufigsten Eiweiß- und Flüssigkeitszufuhr genannt (jeweils rund 30-mal). Bei den Kriterien nachhaltiger Ernährung wurden am häufigsten Bio- und ökologische Lebensmittel genannt (20-mal). Insgesamt gingen 22 Mahlzeitenvorschläge ein; fünf erfüllten sowohl die Kriterien des „Gesunden und nachhaltigen Tellers“ als auch die Empfehlungen der AGES. Diskussion Es besteht ein Bedarf an verbindlicheren Inhalten zur nachhaltigen und gesunden Ernährung in der Ausbildung. Die Auszubildenden zeigen ein hohes Interesse, jedoch bestehen Wissenslücken. Die Integration entsprechender Themen könnte durch verpflichtende Lehrmodule sowie gezielte Weiterbildung des Lehrpersonals systematisiert werden.Background The importance of sustainable and health-promoting nutrition is increasing in light of growing ecological and health-related challenges. Gastronomy professionals play a key role in shaping everyday food choices, particularly in institutional catering. This study aimed to examine the extent to which healthy and sustainable nutrition is addressed in vocational culinary education in Austria and how apprentices perceive these topics. Methods A mixed-methods design was applied, including a qualitative analysis of curricula and a nationwide online survey with open and closed questions. The survey was supplemented by a task in which participants created a sample ingredient list for a healthy and sustainable lunch. Results Responses from 153 culinary apprentices across five federal provinces were evaluated. The analysis of teaching materials revealed only limited thematic references. Around 70% (n=107) rated healthy and sustainable nutrition as rather or very important. Fewer than 20% (n=29) considered the coverage of these topics in class to be very comprehensive; the majority – about 70% (n=107) – perceived it as moderate or somewhat comprehensive. In open responses, the most frequently mentioned improvement was the need for more nutritional education (57 mentions). Protein and fluid intake were most often cited as key aspects of healthy eating (each approximately 30 mentions). Regarding sustainability, organic and ecological products were most frequently mentioned (20 mentions). A total of 22 complete meal suggestions were submitted; only five met the criteria of both the "Healthy and Sustainable Plate" and the AGES recommendations. Discussion There is a clear need for more structured content on sustainable nutrition in culinary training. While apprentices show high interest, knowledge gaps remain. Mandatory modules and targeted teacher training could help address these deficits.Verfasser: Dominik FesslAbweichender Titel laut Übersetzung von der:dem Verfasser:inBachelorarbeit FH JOANNEUM 202

Beato Iohannes Traguriensis and Dominik Andreis
No full textIn the 17th century, the hagiography and iconography of Bishop Iohannes Traguriensis were enriched by various members of Trogir’ s noble families. In this promotion of the cult of the local beato, Dominik Andreis stands out with his efforts: he was the author of an unpublished Litany in Croatian (1632), the instigator of publishing an Italian Vita by Giovanni Francesco Loredan (1648), and the sponsor of a three act drama by Girolamo Brusoni (1656), performed in Trogir with musical intermezzos and published two years later (1658)

Russian Philosophy as interpreted by Dominik Barač
No full textU članku autor prikazuje lik Dominika Barača, dominikanca, filozofa i teologa koji se bavio socijalnom filozofijom boljševizma, odnosno komunizma u Rusiji. Proučava povijesne korijene i uzrok njezina nastajanja, kao i njezin odraz i utjecaj na kršćanstvo. U ruskoj socijalnoj filozofiji boljševizma, koja počiva na ideologiji, totalitarizmu i diktaturi, autor otkriva ideološko-materijalističko ateističko usmjerenje. Kritičkim pristupom ruskoj filozofiji, koja upotrebljava dijalektičko-materijalističko-marksističku metodu, s tomističkog i kršćanskog stajališta uočava teške zablude boljševizma, odnosno komunizma glede poimanja društva u kojemu pojedinac, ljudska osoba, gubi svoju osobnost i dostojanstvo, što je u potpunoj suprotnosti sa socijalno-etičkim principima naučavanja sv. Tome Akvinskoga, skolastičkom filozofijom i kršćanskim naukom.In this article the author gives a portrayal of Dominik Barač - Dominican priest, philosopher and theologian - who was engaged in the study of the social philosophy of Bolshevism, or rather Communism in Russia: its historical roots, the reasons for its emergence and the effect it wrought upon Christianity. The Russian social philosophy of Bolshevism is based on ideological principles, totalitarianism and dictatorship, hence the author unveils its ideological-materialistic-atheistic bent. With a critical approach to Russian philosophy, in which the dialectic-materialistic-marxist method is applied, the author points out from a Thomist and Christian point of view the grave errors of Bolshevism: misconceptions regarding its understanding of a society in which the individual human person in effect loses his individuality and his dignity, this being contrary to the social-ethical principles taught by St. Thomas Aquinas, by the Scholastics and by Christian doctrine
