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

Prozessanalyse zur Effizienzsteigerung im Krankentransport in Vorarlberg
No full textDiese Masterarbeit analysiert den Prozess der Krankentransporte in Vorarlberg und identifiziert Potenziale zur Steigerung von Qualität und Effizienz. Krankentransporte sind ein wesentlicher Bestandteil des Gesundheitssystems und erfordern sorgfältige Planung, Koordination und qualifiziertes Personal. Die Arbeit behandelt Herausforderungen wie professionelle Ausbildung, Sicherheit, Kommunikation, Effizienz und Zeitmanagement. Durch eine Kombination aus semistrukturierten Interviews mit Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeitern der Landeswarnzentrale und der Rettungs- und Feuerwehrleitstelle, direkten Beobachtungen und der Analyse von Daten aus SQL-Datenbanken werden bestehende Prozesse detailliert untersucht. Die Analyse deckt Schwachstellen in der Datenerfassung und -qualität auf und identifiziert ineffiziente Abläufe. Auf Basis der gewonnenen Erkenntnisse werden konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen entwickelt, darunter die Einführung eines Onlineportals zur Anmeldung von Krankentransporten, die Entwicklung von Unterstützungstools für Disponentinnen und Disponenten, strengere Kontrollen bei der Ausstellung von Transportscheinen und die Optimierung des Transports am Behandlungsort. Die Arbeit beantwortet die Forschungsfrage, welche Potenziale zur Steigerung der Qualität und Effizienz von Krankentransporten in Vorarlberg bestehen, und liefert praxisnahe Ansätze zur Prozessverbesserung, die zu einer effizienteren und zuverlässigeren Patientenversorgung beitragen.This master’s thesis analyzes the patient transport process in Vorarlberg and identifies potentials for enhancing quality and efficiency. Patient transports are an essential part of the healthcare system, requiring careful planning, coordination, and qualified personnel. The study highlights challenges such as professional training, safety, communication, efficiency and time management. By combining semi-structured interviews with staff from the Landeswarnzentrale and the Rettungs- und Feuerwehrleitstelle, direct observations, and analysis of data from SQL databases, existing processes are examined in detail. The analysis uncovers weaknesses in data collection and quality and identifies inefficient procedures. Based on the findings, concrete recommendations are developed, including the introduction of an online portal for registering patient transports, the development of support tools for dispatchers, stricter controls in issuing transport vouchers, and the optimization of transport at the treatment location. The thesis addresses the research question of what potentials exist to increase the quality and efficiency of patient transports in Vorarlberg and provides practical approaches to process improvement, contributing to more efficient and reliable patient care

No full textIn the 17th century, the hagiography and iconography of Bishop Iohannes Traguriensis were enriched by various members of Trogir’ s noble families.

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
