Streamlining the Logistics Evacuation Process Using the Specific Simulation Software

Abstract: Safety is an integral part of an individual´s everyday and working life. This paper deals with safety from the viewpoint of an object evacuation. A particular solution of the evacuation process shall be analyzed according to the Czech Technical Standards (CSN) with the use of fire engineering approach. Having analyzed evacuating a selected object (building), a practical solution of the evacuation by means of simulations shall be carried out, using the theory of movement of persons, and performed in the Pathfinder program. The simulations are applied both to assess the object’s current state and to evaluate individual measures proposed to streamline the evacuation process. The output includes assessing an impact of the measures on the evacuation process.

Comparative analysis of entrepreneurial orientation of Croatian and Sweden students

Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the comparison of entrepreneurial orientation of Croatian and Swedish students. Croatian students show significantly lower entrepreneurial intention than Swedish students, and positive attitudes are more frequent with Swedish students. Design/methodology/approach – The cross-cultural research strategy used in this study was a narrowsample strategy which is based on a survey questionnaire comparison of the similar subcultures in different countries. Findings – Croatian students show significantly lower entrepreneurial intention, while positive entrepreneurial attitudes are more frequent with Swedish students. Interestingly, Swedish students consider the entrepreneurial climate to be more evident in their schools. This finding is especially significant if one considers the significantly lower entrepreneurial education of Swedish than Croatian students. Research limitations/implications – Conclusions based on this research are tentative and require further comparison including representatives of other cultures and faculties. Another limitation is identified through additional option of changing intentions and other factors of entrepreneurial orientation, and therefore would longitudinal research of tracking changes of entrepreneurial orientation over the years of study, as well as after studies, along with exploring the reasons of changing them, be desirable. The size of the sample of respondents appears as another potential limitation. Originality/value – Confidence in their own entrepreneurial skills for Croatian students is dependent on the support of the environment, which is not the case with Swedish students whose confidence depends solely on how individually entrepreneurial they are.

Effects of interruption in power supply of induction motors in isolated electrical grid

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to analyse effects of power supply interruption on dynamics of induction motors connected to a synchronous generator in an autonomous operation. A complex mathematical model has been developed, whose components are: a diesel engine, a synchronous generator, a mechanical connection, and two unregulated induction motors which are fed directly from the synchronous generator terminals.

Analysis of synchronous generator stability in case of separate and self-excitation system

Abstract: The paper presents the mathematical model of the electric power system with several synchronous generators. It enables the analysis of stability in the circumstances of large disturbance in a power system. The analysis has been performed for the generator with separate excitation and the generator with self-excitation.

An Object-Oriented Approach to Modelling

Abstract: This Section describes the principles of object-oriented design based on the bond graph technique The idea is to perform the modelling visually, without any coding; all the interaction between the modeller and the model will be through a visual development environment
