The relationships of character strengths with coping, work-related stress, and job satisfaction
(2015)
Personality traits have often been highlighted to relate to how people cope with stressful events. The present paper focuses on character strengths as positive personality traits and examines two basic assumptions that were derived from a core characteristic of character strengths (i.e., to determine how individuals deal with adversities): (1) character strengths correlate with coping and (2) buffer the effects of work-related stress on job satisfaction. Two different samples (i.e., a mixed sample representing various ...

Luftqualitätsgeführte Wohnungslüftung und Nutzerfeedback zur Fensteröffnungsdauer
(2012-06)
Mechanische Lüftungsanlagen werden durch die Notwendigkeit der CO2-Reduktion und die dadurch bedingte Verschärfung der gesetzlichen Mindestanforderungen an die energetische Gebäudequalität in Wohngebäuden zunehmend Verbreitung finden. Durch mechanische Lüftungsanlagen wird einerseits auch bei hoher Luftdichtheit der Gebäudehülle zu jedem Zeitpunkt eine gute Luftqualität für die Bewohner sichergestellt. Andererseits bieten sie die Möglichkeit, durch den Einsatz einer Wärmerückgewinnung die Lüftungswärmeverluste und ...

Name-informing and distancing sogenannt ‘so-called’: Name mentioning and the lexicon-pragmatics interface
(2018)
This paper aims at a unified analysis of the different interpretations which constructions involving the German name-mentioning modifier soge-nannt‘so-called’ can adopt.

After a thorough investigation of the lexical-semantic properties, we propose the reading of the construction to emerge from an interplay between ...

In order to understand the effects of this usage, the imparfait narrative is considered on two levels: on the linguistic level of the French language and its aspect system, and on a text level that embraces the cultural discourse traditions that characterise different text types and genres. On the linguistic level, the imparfait is first contrasted to ...

Process and utility systems integration and optimisation for ultra-low energy milk powder production
(2017-04-26)
This study applies a Total Site Heat Integration approach in conjunction with a detailed process and utility model, to develop an innovative ultra-low energy milk powder plant design. The basis for the analysis is a state-of-the-art modern milk powder plant that requires 5265 MJ/tp of fuel and 210.5 kWh/tp (58.5 MJe/tp) of electricity. The model of the modern milk powder plant was validated against industrial data and changes to process and/or utility systems are targeted and implemented into the model to understand ...

Linking entrepreneurial orientation to firm performance in a post-socialist market context: the case of Hungary

Entrepreneurial orientation provoked the interest of numerous scholars as well as political and administrative decision-makers. Both start-ups and already established corporate entities are increasingly persecuting new opportunities, products, and business models in order to establish superiority above their competitive environment. The tendencies evince an optimist impact of entrepreneurial orientation on business performance, namely on financial performance. Beyond the aforementioned relationship, there are impulses ...
