The Economic Aspect of Using Different Plug-in Hybrid Driving Techniques in Urban Conditions

Plug-in hybrids (PHEV) have become popular due to zero-emission driving, e.g., in urban areas, and using an internal combustion engine on longer distances. Energy consumption by the PHEV depends on many factors which can be either dependent or independent of the driver. The article examines how the driver can use the vehicle’s capabilities to influence its wear. Determining the optimal driving technique, due to the adopted nature of the timetable, is the basic variable that determines the profitability of using a given drive system. Four driving techniques have been selected to determine which one can offer the largest advantages. A vehicle-dedicated application has recorded the drivetrain performance on a predetermined route through an urban area. The analysis of results has demonstrated which of the driving techniques provides measurable effects in terms of reduced energy consumption and the shortest travelling time. The study shows longitudinal acceleration and torque generated by the electric drive. The information included in the study can help any PHEV user reduce the operating cost by applying an appropriate driving technique. The proposed research introduces the possibilities of assessing the influence of the driving style on energy consumption. The innovative side of this research is the observation of stochastic phenomena that are difficult to detect when using approximation modelling.

Conclusion

Passages and works are now confronted. Works can be viewed along the axes of genre and of time (literary history). A particularly important change is the development of philosophy; but genre affects its impact on works. The worlds which structure motion differ drastically in Metamorphoses, NQ, and Annals, over little more than a century. Worlds can be akin, language divergent—so Iliad and Sophocles—or language akin, worlds divergent—so Iliad and Parmenides. A basic question is whether someone or something is moved or moves, and if moves, whether willingly. A basic variable is speed; speed can also mark hierarchy: gods and heavenly bodies outdo humans. A subtler variable is shape of motion, twisting, circular, straight; straight, purposeful motion is set against planless wandering. An important opposition is between the motion of a group and of an individual. Contrasts of scale matter too. Particularly significant is the opposition between moving and not moving. Literature, still more than art, is interested in levels of motion beyond the immediate: images, possibilities, pondered choices, refuted theories. Motion is important to meaning and to religious and political structuring. Whether or not motion is distinctively important in ancient literature, it has a bearing on modern literature; Tolstoy’s War and Peace illustrates. On the level of narrative, motion is expressive (Natasha’s running); but narrated motion is related to historical motion and the movement of peoples, made up from the individual movements of participants. Imagistic motion abounds, not least the haunting and transcendent comet of 1812.

Prediction of drug tendency use on the basis of religious orientation and thrill-seeking of students

The aim of this study is to predict the trends in drug use and sensation seeking on the basis of religious orientation in students of Islamic Azad University Branch of Roodehen in the first semester of the school year 92–93. For this purpose, 120 male and female students who have been selected for a random sample of correlation between the two variables is an indicator variable and, religious orientation Alport, Zuckerman Sensation Seeking and attitude to drug use that all tests have been completed standardisation Iranian issue. As a result of this study, among variables, it can be stated that sensation seeking, experience seeking, adventure and boredom are significant predictors for basic variable (towards drug abuse), whereas diversity, avoid forbidding, internal and external religious orientation are not significant predictors for basic variable (towards drug abuse). Keywords: Attitude to drug use, religious orientation, thrill-seeking.

СТАВОВИ МЛАДИХ У СРБИЈИ ПРЕМА ПРОСТИТУЦИЈИ, РОДНОЈ РАВНОПРАВНОСТИ И ФЕМИНИЗМУ У 2016. ГОДИНИ

The objective of this research was to examine social and demographic predictors for the attitudes of young people in Serbia toward prostitution, gender equality and feminism, as well as to analyse the relations of these three attitudes between each other, and in relation to basic variable of sexual behaviour (age of first intercourse and number of sexual partners). The sample for this research was 1114 participants (67.6% female with average age of 22.4 years, SD =2.59). Three scales were applied in data collection process such as the scale of attitudes about prostitution, the scale of attitudes about gender equality (Džamonja-Ignjatović, Žegarac, Popović, & Duhaček, 2009) and the scale of attitudes about feminism (Džamonja-Ignjatović еt al., 2009). The results show that boys have more positive attitude about prostitution although the difference in regard to attitudes of girls was far more expressed in smaller than in big cities. Contrary to this, the data relative to the attitudes toward gender equality and feminism point that girls have expressed more positive attitude than boys. Additionally, our results show positive association of attitudes on gender equality and prostitution. The rights and social protection of women in prostitution in Serbia are a marginalised social issue and social reactions of tolerance and indifference are predominant. In this regard further research of attitudes of systematic solutions, possibilities and challenges in prostitution could provide significant contribution to this subject.

The “Taste of Life” as a Mechanism of Overcoming Corruption

The issue of measuring the “taste of life” is one of the main tasks in the proces of management decentralization in the state. The term “taste of life” is considered to be the degree of an individual’s satisfaction from living, functioning and carrying out his own activity in society in accordance with economic rules and orders. To solve this problem, three approaches were applied by considering the “taste of life” as a function of state authorities’ services, shadow activity and communal budget. Based on mathematical modelling and the results of expert surveys in 50 communities in the Ukrainian environment, authors made an attempt to identify the degree of state’s regularities in society and to test the constructed models. According to the results, a higher “taste” on the basis of state services caused a decrease in the likelihood of a person returning after the possibility of working and living abroad. The higher “taste” caused the smaller sensitivity to institutes of the shadow economy. At the same time, the “taste” on the basis of shadow services correlates negatively with sensitivity to the state’s official engagement in business and penalties for informal activity. So, the higher this segment, the smaller the sensitivity. The behavior of those who consider communal services and the work of the community as a basic variable is quite different. The “taste” on the basis of community services cannot explain the sensitivity to the shadow institutes and dynamics of emigration. Consequently, decentralization is a way of overcoming corruption.
