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
Dominik Tatarka - wędrowiec
No full textDominik Tatarka is one of the Slovak travel books’s author; he wrotes reports Clovek na cestach. The travelling was important factor of his life: he find an inspiration for his writting and he formulated his life’s philosophy during his journeys. The travelling is one of the important key for reading all his compositions and for understanding his otlook on life: the author presents himself no as the postmodern nomad, but as the pilgrim, who wanders for aim „to unit splits world” and to find a man
Random triangles
No full textThe author summarizes some previous results concerning random triangles. He describes the Gaussian triangle and random triangles whose vertices lie in a unit n-dimensional ball, in a rectangle or in a general bounded convex set. In the second part, the author deals with an inscribed triangle in a triangle - let ABC be an equilateral triangle and let M, N, O be three points, each laying on one side of the ABC. We call MNO inscribed triangle (in an equi- laterral triangle). The median triangle is a special case of that triangle. Author starts with the median triangle and one by one replaces it's vertices by random points with uniform distribution on the corresponding sides. He proves that propability of such inscribed triangle to be an obtuse triangle increases with number of randomly chosen points while the expected area reminds constant. The whole thesis is concluded with a simulation study.

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)
Models for zero-inflated data
No full textThe aim of this thesis is to provide a comprehensive overview of the main approaches to modeling data loaded with redundant zeros. There are three main subclasses of zero modified models (ZMM) described here - zero inflated models (the main focus lies on models of this subclass), zero truncated models and hurdle models. Models of each subclass are defined and then a construction of maximum likelihood estimates of regression coefficients is described. ZMM models are mostly based on Poisson or negative binomial type 2 distribution (NB2). In this work, author has extended the theory to ZIM models generally based on any discrete distributions of exponential type. There is described a construction of MLE of regression coefficients of theese models, too. Just few of present works are interested in ZIM models based on negative binomial type 1 distribution (NB1). This distribution is not of exponential type therefore a common method of MLE construction in ZIM models cannot be used here. In this work provides modification of this method using quasi-likelihood method. There are two simulation studies concluding the work.

Automated data drift analysis using great expectations library
No full textTato práce se zabývá detekcí změn v datech. Pro zjišťování kvality dat již existují používané nástroje, jedním z nich je knihovna Great expectations. Mezi jejími funkcemi v době psaní této práce není přítomna detekce vícerozměrného driftu. Práce porovnává různé přístupy, které lze k tomuto účelu použít. Na základě výsledků tohoto srovnání je k rozšíření funkcí knihovny Great expectation použita analýza hlavních komponent.This thesis concerns itself with the data drift detection. There are already existing and widely used data quality tools, one of them being Great expectations library. Among its features at the time of writing this thesis, multivariate drift detection is not present. The thesis compares different approaches that can be used for this purpose. Based on the results of this comparison, Principal component analysis is used to extend the features of the Great expectation library
