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
Concept and modelling of the electrohydraulic valve with DC and stepper motors
No full textThe article describes concept and modelling of a new type of electrohydraulic valve controlled by the combination of a stepper motor and a DC motor. The aim of this invention is to use in the proportional valve two motors with the different properties. Both motors are responsible for the movement of a valve spool. The stepper motor and the DC motor are connected to a shaft by using a bellows coupling. Transfer from rotary to linear motion is performed by use of a bolt-nut system. According to the invention, presented here valve can be used in hydraulic drive systems with high positioning accuracy requirement. The author was granted a patent no. P.421994 on the invention described in this paper
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

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)
Application of the MEMS Accelerometer as the Position Sensor in Linear Electrohydraulic Drive
No full textVarious distance sensors are used as measuring elements for positioning linear electrohydraulic drives. The most common are magnetostrictive transducers or linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) sensors mounted inside the cylinder. The displacement of the actuator’s piston rod is proportional to the change in the value of the current or voltage at the output from the sensor. They are characterized by relatively low measurement noise. The disadvantage of presented sensors is the need to mount them inside the cylinders and the high price. The article presents preliminary research on the replacement of following sensors and the use of a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) accelerometer as a measuring element in the electrohydraulic drive control system. The control consisted of two phases: at first, the signal from the acceleration sensor was analyzed during the actuator movement, based on the value determined from the simplified model implemented on the controller. In the range of motion in which the dynamics were the lowest, the signal was integrated and the obtained value was used in the second phase of motion. In the correction phase, a new set point was determined. Conducting the research required building a dedicated research stand. The author conducted the simulation and experimental research
