Abstract The diploma thesis fucuses on the paintings by Hendrick van Balen (1575-1632), which are found in Czech collections. The main point of this thesis is a figurative stint in cabinet painting, which was the domain of the Antwerp painter Hendrick van Balen. there will be also hightlighted Hendrick van Balen's collaboration with Jan Brueghel Older, who became a part of his work as the author of still life and nature in Balen's paintings. On specific works from the Czech collections will by pointed out the possible inspiration in the figures of rudolfinian masters Hans von Aachen and Josef Heintz and parallels in their work, and the influence on the cabinet painting of the 18th century painters, Johan Georg Platzer (1704-1761) and his follower Franz Christophr Jannecka (1703-1761).

No full textRelationship satisfaction : the influence of attachment, love styles and religiosity
No full textThe purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of attachment, love styles and religiosity on relationship satisfaction. In a cross-sectional design there were 102 participants (males=65, females=37). Four questionnaires were used: the Relationship Questionnaire (Bartholomew & Horowitz, 1991), the Love Attitudes Scale (Hendrick, Hendrick & Dicke, 1998), the Relationship Assessment Scale (Hendrick, Hendrick & Dicke, 1998) and the Religiosity Measure (Rohrbaugh & Jessor, 1975). Predictor variables were attachment, love styles and religiosity. Relationship satisfaction score was the criterion variable used. Gender was also tested with regards to relationship satisfaction. The results indicate that there is an association between relationship satisfaction and attachment (F (3, 98) =7.568, p0.05, 2-tailed), religiosity and attachment (F (3, 98) = 1.982, p> 0.05) and religiosity and love styles (F (5, 96) = .839, p> 0.05). Limitations and future research directions are discussed. Author keywords: Relationship satisfaction, attachment, religiosity, love style

Beschouwingen rond de huizencollectie van de Vereniging Hendrick de Keyser
No full textThe private Hendrick de Keyser Association, founded in 1918, now owns approximately 350 premises on the basis of which further study of the Dutch dwelling is possible. Research was not the object of the Association; its main concern was to save the premises by acquisition, restoration and responsible management. In the first decade the Association acquired 62 premises, which were restored in an austere manner. In 1928 all the houses appeared full-page in a memorial book containing 14 different contributions: Oud-Hollandse bouwkunst en haar behoud. In 1939 the Association owned 85 premises; after an introduction they were described chronologically by F.A.J. Vermeulen in the subsequent jubilee book of which reprints appeared in 1943 and 1944.
After the Second World War the collection steadily increased to 170 in 1968, which induced monument conservers R. Meischke and H.J. Zantkuijl to write Het Nederlandse Woonhuis van 1300-1800. A typology of houses was made on the basis of the internal structure, paying particular attention to the woodwork of the houses, such as the timber frames, wooden beams and lower fronts. Side rooms, entresols, upstairs flats and rear annexes were described and for the first time types like the broad and the double house were discussed.
After 1969 the collection of houses doubled, which gave rise to a four-volume publication, started in 1993, on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Association, and completed in 2000. Each volume consists of a description of related landscapes and an approximately similar number of houses. Each volume by itself is autonomous and includes a general, often thematically coloured introduction. The structure of the building trade was chosen as a main theme in an attempt at surveying architecture and technology as a unity. Through building-historical and dendrochronological research it is now possible to date the woodwork accurately, something that used to be so elusive.
For the new publication the old team of the Amsterdam Bureau for the conservation of monuments was available again: Zantkuijl, Raue and Meischke, together with the young art historian Paul Rosenberg who described each house once again and added historical data. The author works out a number of conclusions in the article, such as the organisation of the building trade, the role of carpenters and bricklayers, the influence of commissioners, the guilds and the urban building practice, the trade in building materials and the role of qualified architects
THE PRINCIPAL AS TRAINER OF TEACHERS IN ATTAINING SEX EQUITABLE AND EFFECTIVE CLASSROOM INTERACTION
No full textThe purpose of this study was to investigate whether the principal as trainer of classroom teachers in sex equitable and effective classroom interaction skills would cause a reduction in sex bias and increase variation in precise teacher feedback to student response. A second purpose was to assess the impact of the trainer-of-trainer's design on the role of the principal as trainer in attaining sex equity in classroom interaction. The major research questions were: (1) Does principal-directed training in sex equitable and effective interaction skills increase frequency of student-teacher interaction? (2) Does principal-directed training in sex equity and effective interaction skills affect the frequency of teacher praise, acceptance, remediation, and criticism? (3) Does principal-directed teacher training in sex equity and effective interaction skills affect the distribution of teacher interaction to male and female students? (4) Does principal-directed teacher training in sex equity and effective interaction skills affect the distribution of teacher interaction to male and female students in the categories of praise, acceptance, remediation, and criticism? (5) Do principals involved in a trainer-of-trainers design effectively implement teacher training in their schools?Data were obtained from a sample of ten elementary principals and forty classroom teachers from an urban school district. Teachers were observed once during the early Fall (pre-observation); then after the principal-directed training program (October) they were observed two times in late Fall (post-observation). Data were obtained from interviews with the experimental principals after the PEPA program was completed. Observer-raters were trained to code classroom interaction using the INTERSECT Observation System. Raters were tested for.85 inter-rater reliability. Analysis of covariance and median tests were the statistical procedure used.Post-observation findings indicated there were no significant differences between the trained and the untrained teachers in the frequency of total teacher-student interaction and distribution of precise teacher feedback to male and female students, though posttest scores on praise and acceptance were moving in the direction predicted. Findings from the principal interviews reflected the value of the principal as trainer in reducing sex bias. Findings on sex-segregation in classrooms indicated that the experimental group showed a significant difference in their move toward little or low sex-segregated classrooms.Results suggested that principal-directed training to promote sex equitable and effective classroom interaction may be a viable means of reducing bias in classroom interaction.Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 48-06, Section: A, page: 1365.Ph.D. American University 1987.Englis
Contributing Editor's Feature
No full text A decade ago I was fortunate to discover a forgotten gem. The nearly lost item was a short article, originally published in the 1950s. Somehow a faded copy found its way to my desk. The story it contained was the insightful reflections of a very successful but unknown entrepreneur by the name of John Hendrick. In a few precious pages, Mr. Hendrick laid out his life and his eventual, he would say “tortuous,” evolution into a practicing entrepreneur. It wasn't an easy development. All kinds of barriers had to be conquered, some financial, but many others social and psychological. But all these obstacles had a connection, one way or other, to Mr. Hendrick's college experience. Today, in the literature of entrepreneurship, “How I Overcame The Handicap Of A College Education” is a classic.1 It deserves this stature because the article embodies not just the educational experience of John Hendrick, but that of many entrepreneurs who've had to surmount similar barriers posed by an intellectual history and academy that treats business creation and development with unreserved scorn. The author of course never meant to imply that a college education was a bad thing … even for entrepreneurs. John Hendrick was far wiser than that. Nor did he mean to suggest that his liberal arts training at Yale was intrinsically wrong for entrepreneurs. Quite the opposite. In the end, it was this same education that allowed him to puzzle through his problems. But his schooling did have its drawbacks. Now another author, Dennis Ray, shows us how to turn these negative factors into a positive educational experience. Indeed, liberal arts can promote entrepreneurial values and relevant knowledge for future business owners. There is no longer any reason why college should be a handicap. </jats:p
A correlation study of gender differences in secure attachment style, personality and romantic relationship satisfaction
No full textThis study was conducted to assess the possible correlation between personality type, attachment style and relationship satisfaction in a sample of (N=103) participants, (N=33) men and (N=70) women all part-time students at DBS. The participants were asked demographic questions age, gender and relationship status. The Relationship Questionnaire (Bartholomew & Horowitz, 1991) was used to evaluate attachment styles, personality type was examined using the Big Five Inventory (John & Srivastava, 1999), and (Hendrick, Dicke, & Hendrick, 1988) Relationship Assessment Scale was administered to measure romantic relationship satisfaction. A Spearman's rho revealed high romantic relationship satisfaction is significantly correlated with secure attachment (rs(99) = 0.25, p<0.01) and conscientiousness (rs(98) = 0.19, p<0.05). An ANOVA indicated that married individuals have significantly higher relationship satisfaction than non-cohabiting persons (M=3.39, SD=1.02, p=0.018). An independent samples t-test revealed no gender differences in relationship satisfaction. Author keywords: relationship satisfaction, attachment, personalit
De Medusa in de aegis van Hendrick de Keyser. Vorm en functie van een ornament op het grafmonument van Willem van Oranje (1614-1623)
No full textBoth in architecture and in art the head of Medusa is omnipresent and it hardly seems to need any further introduction. Nevertheless, this article discusses two specific ornaments of this type, namely the Medusa on the tomb of William of Orange, designed by Hendrick de Keyser (1565-1621) and the Medusa on the town hall of Antwerp, designed by Cornelis Floris (1513/14-1575). The author states that these two heads are part of the aegis of Minerva. The aegis is a sort of breast-plate that is part of the weaponry of this goddess. The Medusa thus is a part of a bigger whole that can be seen as an aegis.
The article demonstrates how in contemporary art literature (Van Mander, Ripa and Cartari) the aegis functions as a pars pro toto for Minerva, the deft Goddess of War and therefore, in an abstract sense, stands for sensible leadership in times of conflict. The article also aims to show that the aegis not only has an iconographic meaning, but that it also, in the cases of the town hall and the tomb, harks back to a votive offering that was part of classical architecture. This aegis therefore belongs to both architecture and art
