Human figure drawings by children: a measure of sporting ability? [Blog post]

As early as the 1920’s psychologists have examined children’s drawings, particularly of a human figure, and counted the number of body parts drawn against a prescribed list (such as head, eyes and arms) as a measure of the child’s intellectual abilities

Children are turning to drawing during the lockdown – what can we learn from them? [Blog post]

Children’s drawings are a mirror to their mind. It is a reflection of their feelings, emotions, and their cognitive development. The early works of psychologists dating back to the 1920s were focused on children’s drawings as a measure of their intellectual abilities. This was generally based on the principle of counting the number of body parts drawn against a prescribed list (such as head, eyes, or arms) and arriving at a score reflecting the child’s intellectual ability. However, while this aspect of children’s drawings appears to be straightforward, it was largely thanks to the work of Elizabeth Koppitz that led to the evaluation of children’s drawings not just by counting the number of body parts but also considering the manner in which it was drawn

Persian orthography and its relation to literacy.

Persian orthography, which is a modified version of the Arabic script, is used for transcribing the Persian (Farsi) language, which is the major language spoken in Iran. Persian is also one of the two (Farsi and Urdu) major languages spoken in Afghanistan, and the main language in Tajikestan, a former central Asian republic of the former Soviet Union. However, the Persian spoken in these countries and the script used to transcribe the spoken language, particularly in Tajikistan, have been influenced by local factors and borrowed words. The focus of this chapter is on the Persian spoken in the present-day Iran and its relationship with the orthography, henceforth referred to as Persian orthography. In particular, the emphasis is on how literacy acquisition by Persian beginner (and skilled) readers may be affected by peculiarities of Persian orthography. Arguably, very little systematic research has been conducted on cognitive processes involved in the reading of Persian. It is hoped that this article will stimulate such research. After presenting factors that influence literacy acquisition in Persian, we take up the question of whether there should be changes to Persian orthography

Etyczny bunt w reżimie demokratycznym

After twenty years of a democratic regime in Poland, one can see its condition. There are three categories of a riot - “the narrowest”, “narrow” and “wide”. The articele presents the examples of each type and the cause of their existence. Sometimes it results from the fasion or the reality is somehow changed. These changes may be fragmentary or they may affect the whole society. The article discusses this differentiation. To become a rebel, many obstacles must be overcome

Model for power line communication

Tato bakalářská práce pojednává o problematice datové komunikace po silnoproudém vedení. V práci je zmíněna historie PLC systémů, současné možnosti využití a typy modulací, které se používají. V práci se pojednává o možnostech modelování PLC systémů, zdrojích rušení a parametrech přenosového vedení. Především jsou zde rozebrány metody modelování přenosového vedení, přičemž jedna z nich (metoda kaskádně zapojených dvojbranů) je dále použita v praktické části této bakalářské práce. Praktická část této práce se zabývá modelováním různých typů topologií a impedančních zakončení s využitím generováním náhodných parametrů vedení a velikostí topologií. Jsou zde rozebrány výsledky praktického měření, které jsou vneseny do modelu. Model je poté porovnáván s jiným dostupným modelem, při fixních parametrech.This bachelor thesis is dealing with matters of data communication after power line. The thesis is including the PLC systems history, current possibilities of utilization and different types of modulations being used, interference sources and parameters of a transmission line. We will elaborate on methods of transmission line modeling and one of them will be used in the practical part of the thesis. The practical part consists of modeling of different types of topology and impedance endings applying generation of random transmission parameters and sizes of typology. We analyze results from practical measurement which are incorporated in a model. The model is then being compared with another one in terms of fixed parameters.

Psychologia jako niezbędny komponent politologii

Ryszard Skarzynski thinks that the main subject of recognition in political science have to be “the political”, which is constructed by a specific kind of group. Contrary to this opinion R. E. Lane said that political science should be freed-up by political psychology. This kind of group (“political”) is endangered by the roles played by individuals. Sociometry is a solution which helped to measure and explore the phase in which the group is. Personality is also important, because there are some characteristics which can threaten the whole group or the group’s purposes (to stay “political” and not to become “social”). “Delta” questionnaire, EPQ-R, MACH IV should help the group and also political scientists to carry out the research what kind of individuals are members of the group. If political psychology has the best ways to explore this matter, political scientist should use them to distinguish “political” from “others”

Gender differences in Polish citizens attitudes towards immigration to the UK.

The present study examined gender differences in attitudes towards immigration of Polish citizens to the UK. Participants: 60 men (mean age =26.21, SD=2.51) and 60 women (mean age=26.15, SD=3.73) participated in the investigation. A 30 item questionnaire was administered to the participants and subjected to the Principle Component Analysis. Factor analysis showed 3 strong factors which were labeled as “domestic preference”, “lifestyle patterns” and “social participation”. The results of statistical analysis showed that Polish women have more preference for the Polish lifestyle than Polish men. However, results of regression analysis showed that as well as gender other significant predictors affecting attitudes towards living in the UK are the length of stay and level of education. Implications of the findings are discussed
