Rozwój relacji z rodzeństwem w okresie wczesnej dorosłości - analiza kondycjonalna
No full textThe main purpose of the presented study was to establish the determinants of sibling relationships in the period of early adulthood. The following variables were analyzed: age, gender, parent status, perception of material conditions and empathy level. The author also sought correlations between empathy and the psychological aspects of adult sibling relationships. The study included 79 persons in the period of early adulthood coming from the administrative region of Lodi (M = 27 years; SD = 4.23). Women accounted for 52% of the surveyed people, men for 48%. The following test tools were used: the poll, the Adult Sibling Relationship Questionnaire (ASRQ) by Stocker et al. in the adaptation of Walecka-Matyja and the Empathic Sensitiveness Scale by Davis in the adaptation of Kaźmierczak, Plopa and Retowski. The obtained study results confirmed the significance of the factors of a psychosocial nature shaping the dimensions of sibling relationships in the period of early adulthood. The significant role of empathy in the regulation of relationships between adult siblings was verified
The relationships with siblings in early adulthood – analysis of conditions
No full textGłównym celem prezentowanych badań było określenie uwarunkowań relacji między rodzeństwem w okresie wczesnej dorosłości. Analizie poddano następujące zmienne: wiek, płeć, status rodzica, percepcję warunków materialnych oraz poziom empatii. Poszukiwano także związków empatii z psychologicznymi aspektami relacji dorosłego rodzeństwa.
W badaniach uczestniczyło 79 osób w okresie wczesnej dorosłości, pochodzących z województwa łódzkiego (M= 27 lat; SD = 4.23). Kobiety stanowiły 52% badanych, mężczyźni 48%. Zastosowano następujące narzędzia badawcze: ankietę, Kwestionariusz Relacji Dorosłego Rodzeństwa (KRDR) Stockera i in. (1997) w adaptacji Walęckiej-Matyja (2014) oraz Skalę Wrażliwości Empatycznej Davisa w opracowaniu Kaźmierczak, Plopy i Retowskiego (2007).
Uzyskane rezultaty badań potwierdziły istotne znaczenie czynników o charakterze psychospołecznym, kształtujących wymiary relacji między rodzeństwem w okresie wczesnej dorosłości. Zweryfikowano znaczącą rolę empatii w regulacji więzi dorosłego rodzeństwa

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

Forgiveness and gratitude as predictors of the quality of the interpersonal relationship of adults siblings
No full textCel pracy stanowiło określenie związków między wymiarami wybaczanie i wdzięczność a jakością relacji interpersonalnej rodzeństw w okresie wczesnej dorosłości, sprawdzenie czy stanowią one predyktory relacji interpersonalnej rodzeństw oraz, czy i w jaki sposób wymiary relacji interpersonalnej rodzeństw łączą się z motywami wybaczania. Uczestnikami badań było 200 osób, znajdujących się w okresie wczesnej dorosłości (M=24; SD=3,27), posiadających dorosłe rodzeństwo. Badania przeprowadzono w Polsce. Zastosowano następujące narzędzia badawcze: Kwestionariusz Relacji Dorosłego Rodzeństwa (Walęcka-Matyja, 2014), Skalę Wybaczania (Charzyńska, Heszen, 2013), Kwestionariusz Powodów Przebaczania (Noworol, 2016), Kwestionariusz Gratitude Questionnaire (Kossakowska, Kwiatek, 2014) oraz ankietę. Rezultaty badań wskazały na występowanie dodatniego związku między wdzięcznością a wymiarem relacji z rodzeństwem określanym jako Ciepło. Zmienna wybaczanie nie łączyła się w sposób istotny statystycznie z wymiarami relacji interpersonalnej dorosłych rodzeństw. Odnotowano występowanie istotnych, przebiegających w oczekiwanym kierunku związków między wymiarem relacji interpersonalnej rodzeństw Ciepło i powodami wybaczania. Predyktorem czynnika Ciepło w relacji dorosłych rodzeństw okazała się zmienna wdzięczność. Zmienna wybaczanie nie objaśniała żadnego z wymiarów z relacji interpersonalnej rodzeństw
Simulation of thermal plant optimization and hydraulic aspects of thermal distribution loops for large campuses
No full textFollowing an introduction, the author describes Texas A&M University and its utilities system. After that, the author presents how to construct simulation models for chilled water and heating hot water distribution systems. The simulation model was used in a $2.3 million Ross Street chilled water pipe replacement project at Texas A&M University. A second project conducted at the University of Texas at San Antonio was used as an example to demonstrate how to identify and design an optimal distribution system by using a simulation model. The author found that the minor losses of these closed loop thermal distribution systems are significantly higher than potable water distribution systems. In the second part of the report, the author presents the latest development of software called the Plant Optimization Program, which can simulate cogeneration plant operation, estimate its operation cost and provide optimized operation suggestions. The author also developed detailed simulation models for a gas turbine and heat recovery steam generator and identified significant potential savings. Finally, the author also used a steam turbine as an example to present a multi-regression method on constructing simulation models by using basic statistics and optimization algorithms. This report presents a survey of the author??s working experience at the Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) at Texas A&M University during the period of January 2002 through March 2004. The purpose of the above work was to allow the author to become familiar with the practice of engineering. The result is that the author knows how to complete a project from start to finish and understands how both technical and nontechnical aspects of a project need to be considered in order to ensure a quality deliverable and bring a project to successful completion. This report concludes that the objectives of the internship were successfully accomplished and that the requirements for the degree of Degree of Engineering have been satisfied
Intern experience at CH���M Hill, Inc.: an internship report
No full textIncludes author's vita"Submitted to the College of Engineering of Texas A&M University in partial
fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Engineering."Includes bibliographical referencesA review of the author's internship experience with CH���M HILL, Inc.
during the period September 1975 through May 1976 is presented. During this nine month
internship the author worked as an Engineer II in the Industrial Processes discipline of this
large consulting engineering firm... The author's prime responsibility was as one of three
lead design engineers on the design of a large wastewater treatment facility for a pulp mill
in Hoquiam, Washington owned by ITT Rayonier Inc. The work generally consisted of the design
of individual treatment units and associated piping and pumping. The purpose of the project
was to provide wastewater treatment capabilities that would satisfy the effluent limitations
(standards) imposed upon the mill by the State of Washington Department of Ecology and the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The author's assignment also entailed necessary
interaction with the project manager and other CH���M HILL design engineers and support staff
members, the client's representatives, and representatives of two other consulting engineering
firms working on the project. Thus, the internship position at CH���M HILL provided considerable
experience coordinating the author's work with the work of other engineers, guiding the design
and administrative efforts of a support staff, and interacting regularly with the client and
other consulting firms. This broad exposure to a variety of engineering and organizational
problems provided a valuable educational experience
