Splitting Process

Wood splitting, manual as well as mechanized one is a heavy work. It follows from the fact that usually the wood of the least quality, knot wood with scroll fibres, directed for less valuable assortments from the point of view of the price. Present technique on the contrary is relatively price demanding, requesting besides 2–4 members of operating personnel also adequate concentration of wood mass for the reason of the complete process economic efficiency. We submit in this paper technology analysis of the splitter WS 800 performance with the original concept for the wood manipulation and splitting process as well. Essential advantages of the mentioned splitter comparing with the stationary equipments are operational and interoperational wood manipulation, physical effort and operating personnel elimination, while the efficiency and work safety is increasing.

The present paper proposes to determine the types of organizational cultures that exist within the Romanian textileindustry, starting off from Handy’s typology according to which there are four types of cultures, respectively the TaskTypes, the Power Types, the Role Types and the Person Type. In this sense, we have conducted an empirical studymade up of two questionnaires, the first regarding the organizational culture within the Romanian textile industry – fromthe point of view of employees without leadership positions, and the second regarding the organizational culture withinthe Romanian textile industry – from the managerial point of view. Interviews were conducted on employees andmanagers from local companies, by using direct questions, with multiple choice answers, with the purpose of ensuringtransparency and objectivity when processing and analyzing the data. The database of this study contains 110completed and validated questionnaires, divided into the two respondent categories: employees in leadership positions– 65 questionnaires, operating personnel – 45 questionnaires. By utilizing the Cronbach Alpha test, a correlation matrix,the KMO and Bartlett test, a functional analysis, we have validated the viability, the relevance of the items, the existenceof a correlation between them, the construction of synthetic variables, thus demonstrating the presence of 4 types oforganizational cultures within the Romanian textile industry

Original Concept

Starting from the analysis of the modern robotic arc welding system from the kinematic point of view, the paper presents an original concept of the systems structure. Instead a combination of two open chains, as it is generally seen, the author proposes one single closed kinematic chain. The main element of this chain is the electric arc employed for welding, virtually seen as a vector which connects the two open chains, the robot and the part manipulator. This new approach could possibly change and simplify the way arc welding robots are programmed today.

Original Concept

The article is devoted to the analysis of the image of a person of a different nationality, who is created in his works by the modern Russian science fiction writer Oleg Divov. Based on the analysis of the author’s three novels, “The Best Solar Crew,” “Technical Support” and “Elephants’ Homeland,” his original attitude to the problem of the national and ethnic affiliation of a person is revealed. The aim of the study was to analyze the image of a person of a different nationality in the books of O.I. Divov and to represent a person of a different nationality in the context of the image of the “Other”. The tasks were set to identify the author’s treatment of the image of a person of a different nationality, to detect interpretations of this image in various works. The scientific novelty of the study was provided both by the novelty of the text material introduced into the scientific circulation, and by the approach to the problem of the image of the “Other” in modern literature from the point of view of the optionality of observing the principles of tolerance and political correctness, more precisely, new ways of observing these principles. In the reviewed works of the writer, heroes of different nationalities appear, and the national differences between them are not hidden, but, on the contrary, stand out in relief, are brought to the fore. Representatives of each of the nationalities (Russians, Jews, Germans, Americans, French, Chukchi, and others) are portrayed as people with undeniable merits, and at the same time – ironically, with humor. The writer does not demonstrate any stable national preferences: in the novel “The Best Solar Crew”, Russians are glorified first of all, and in the novel “The Land of Elephants” – the Chukchi. Despite ridicule, reflecting the stereotypical perception of a particular nation, the description of none of them becomes nationalistic. The author creates an original concept of perception of heroes of a different nationality, opposing the popular in modern culture of tolerance, showing the importance of national differences and the uselessness of silencing them.

The Individual

The paper presents the theoretical groundwork of people’s safety in the working environment observed from the psychophysiological point of view. This aspect was considered through the characteristics and influence of the psychic processes, traits and states on the individual safety during the work. Bearing in mind that each person is different and represents a distinctive and unique person that is structured in a specific and special way, the knowledge of the psychophysiological characteristics of people is a crucial factor for professional safety.Specifically, worker traits such as individual differences, personality, emotions, knowledge, cognition, and similar, influence employees activities and behaviour, as well as and the outcome of their work in terms of safety – whether or not an occupational injury or accident occurred or whether there was a possibility of threats. Through the study of the psychophysiological features of a human, i.e. its psychic characteristics, processes, and personality, it is possible to a certain extent to influence the improvement of the safety parameters in the workplace as well as the efficient functioning of the "man-production environment" system.

Grey Systems Theory

The objective of this paper is to analyse the possibility to use the Grey-TOPSIS method to assess the occupational risk management (ORM), in the situation whereby linguistic variables were used in the assessment process. The TOPSIS method has already been in use for a number of years to assess alternative solutions in many areas other than the work safety area. This paper remedies some shortcomings in using the Grey Systems Theory (GST) in ORM, and constitutes an original application of Grey-TOPSIS in the work safety area. Considering that assessment of the ORM process involves estimation of performance particular components of this process, the eight sub-processes were adopted for assessment purposes. The degree of fulfilment of a given sub-processes was assigned a respective verbal grade from Completely Wrong to Perfect. In performing this assessment, systems being in place in four furniture-manufacturing companies were selected to minimise impacts of external factors upon the ORM in these companies. By using the Grey-TOPSIS method, it was possible to rank these companies from the point of view of functioning of the ORM process, and to identify the best and the weakest company in this respect. Further research work should be conducted with the aim to develop some new hybrid, multi-criterion assessment methods, which will develop within the frameworks of the GST.

The knowledge of the physiological processes and the mechanisms of vital activity of the organisms gives the possibility to the future specialist in the field of physical education and sports to understand the causes of the appearance of the complicated functional states of the organism characteristic for the muscular activity. This will allow them to rationally distribute physical effort and rest in both physical education and training classes, to forecast short- and longterm sports results. The results of the theoretical-praxiological analysis of the instructive-educational process within the disciplines provided by the curriculum of the faculties of physical education and sports show that in this field: - a specific evaluation system does not work, therefore it is not known what level of professional competencies and what didactic competencies the student actually has; - the desire of students to train and use their professional skills in quality sports is more declared, it is not supported by appropriate actions [6, 15, 16]. The theoretical study of the problem of training-development of professional skills identified different approaches to its classification and typology: some real results-oriented, and others with confusing orientation in this regard, neither of the two types of approaches, at least in the field of physical education, not being sufficiently argued from a systemic point of view

Band Saw

This paper deals with the verifying of safety status for a selected device in the manufacturing organization. The safety audit of band saw was realized in the manufacturing process. Safety requirements of the machinery for cutting material are given in the standard STN 20 0723. This standard from the point of view of the work safety defines selected requirements for sawing, cutting compounds and the using of prevention to work with cutting compounds. Among the basic requirements belong material clamping and security services for cut, band saws and jaws wear, as well as the required protective cover. The efficiency of audit in percentage was evaluated by the level of fulfilment as follows: fulfilled (A) mostly fulfilled (AB), conditionally fulfilled (B) or unfulfilled (C). Through safety audit, were defined the weaknesses that increase the degree of employee health hazard. There were proposed corrective actions to eliminate weaknesses and retraining employees. It is still needed to perform the safety audit due to reduction of the probability of occupational injury.
