Effects of non-tracking solar collector orientation on energy production : photovoltaic systems
2012
Abstract: This Master's thesis proposes a new method for calculating the optimum tilt and orientation angle of a fitted solar collector. In addition to using geographical data, this method takes into account the radiation data and weather statistics of prospective locations. This makes the calculations valid not only for certain latitudes, but also for certain radiation and weather conditions. Calculations were done by estimating the energy production of a given solar array using a sequence of different tilt angles and orientation angles. Special attention was given to shaded solar arrays and arrays made up of photovoltaic modules. Specific radiation and weather data was used for both locat…
Love Wins : A Love Lens Approach to Cultivation of Organization-Stakeholder Relationships
2020
This chapter adds to emerging research exploring the construct of joy by drawing attention to the value of more loving stakeholder relationships. Relationship management research has focussed attention on the antecedents, outcomes and quality of an organization’s relationships with various publics and stakeholders and has examined strategies that can nurture these relationships. However, not much of this research has addressed intimacy and passion in these relationships. Accordingly, this chapter draws on the theory of brand love developed in relationship marketing research and the theory of love from psychological research to build a theoretical framework of organization–stakeholder love (…
Pamięć i czas a (nie)bezpieczeństwo ontologiczne współczesnego człowieka
2019
Kluczową kategorią pojęciową niniejszego tekstu jest pamięć. Zdolność do podtrzymywania pewnej względnie stałej historii o „ja” jest dzisiaj traktowane jako istota naszej tożsamości. Pamięć jest jej warunkiem, podstawą i częścią jednocześnie. Tekst skupia się na rozważaniach nad kategorią pamięci, łącząc je z namysłem nad orientacją temporalną, a więc z naszym stosunkiem do czasu, a także z rozważaniami nad rolą, jaką pamięć odgrywa w procesie budowania poczucia bezpieczeństwa ontologicznego we współczesnym świecie
The analysis of teaching practices at school and at university.
2011
It is well-known that teachers are required to have an experimental mentality leading them to constantly verify the educational efficiency of their teaching actions and make new hypotheses to improve. Actually, what really happens at school is that intuition is predominant because of the lack of time, so these hypotheses are quite dim, working procedures are the fruit of almost indefinite improvisation, and assessment does not fit the need for observing the benefits and results of learning or it is not even carried out at all. Therefore, it is required for school teachers to have a strong methodological competence in the field of teaching research. The Research Group at the University of Pa…
Les aspirations professionnelles des élèves sous le prisme des valeurs et compétences « vertes »
2022
Introduction Les enjeux environnementaux sont une des lignes de fracture importante entre les valeurs des générations, les jeunes devant faire face à l’héritage des générations précédentes (Peugny et Van de Velde, 2013). L’école semble y jouer un rôle de plus en plus majeur en multipliant les terrains d’apprentissage de ces problématiques alliant connaissances théoriques et éco-gestes (Glomeron et al., 2017). Ils se déclinent néanmoins de manière très variable selon les pays et leurs politiqu...

Orientācija uz nākotni un pretenziju līmenis kā studentu akadēmiskos sasniegumus prognozējoši faktori
2018
Šī bakalaura darba mērķis bija noskaidrot, vai studentu orientācija uz nākotni un pretenziju līmenis ir saistīti ar akadēmiskajiem sasniegumiem (un līdz ar to var kalpot par sasniegumus prognozējošiem faktoriem), un vai tie ir saistīti savā starpā. Pētījumā piedalījās 65 Latvijas Jūras Akadēmijas studenti vecumā no 18 līdz 28 gadiem (M=20,4 gadi, SD=1,7 gadi). Izpētei tika izmantotas Zimbardo laika perspektīvas aptaujas (Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI), Zimbardo & Boyd, 1999) adaptācija latviešu valodā (Koļesovs, 2002), aptauja “Orientācija uz nākotni” (Koļesovs & Sadauska, 2016, Koļesovs, 2017), kā arī Švarclandera motorā prove (Borozdina, 1985) studentu pretenziju līmeņa noteik…
La genitorialità nella coppia omoaffettiva
2020

Indica argomenti e possibili soluzioni ermeneutiche per affermare un diritto alla genitorialità e per offrire adeguata copertura giuridica alla posizione del nato. The essay deals with the delicate issue of the aspiration to procreative parenthood by homosexual couples in our legal system in the light of the relevant legislative prohibitions and the recent case-law, considered within the framework of the constitutional principle…
Effects of Entrepreneurial Orientation and Passion for Work on Performance Variables in Sports Clubs
2021
Entrepreneurial orientation and passion for work have been widely studied due to their effects on the behaviour and attitude of management teams in the short- and long-term. However, despite the influences of these variables on the sustainability and survival of an entity, there is a gap when considering the effects of these two performance variables in sports organisations. Therefore, the main objectives of this study were to understand the influences of entrepreneurial orientation and passion for work on service quality and sporting performance. To this end, 199 Spanish non-profit sports clubs were analysed using instruments with good psychometric properties. Data analysis was carried out…
Psychometric Properties of the Personal and General Belief in a Just World Scales in the Argentine Context
2018
RESUMEN: El objetivo del estudio fue analizar las propiedades psicométricas de las Escalas de Creencia en un Mundo Justo (CMJ) General y Personal. Por medio de análisis factorial confirmatorio se examinó la estructura interna de ambas, testeando si evalúan un mismo constructo global o si constituyen dos dimensiones diferenciadas. También se evaluó la consistencia interna de cada una, por medio de alfa de Cronbach, y sus relaciones lineales con las orientaciones religiosas. Por medio de un muestreo no probabilístico incidental, participaron 328 estudiantes universitarios de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Argentina, con edades entre 18 y 40 años (M = 24,1, DT = 3,88). El 36,6% eran hombr…
