An attitude control system for the BRITE and CanX-4&5 nanosatellites is developed. BRITE and CanX-4&5 are research satellites based on the Space Flight Laboratory’s Generic Nanosatellite Bus, devoted to the study of star brightness and formation flying, respectively. Novel low-cost testing procedures are developed and used to characterize satellite sensor and actuator performance. The algorithm governing the pointing of CanX-4&5 is enhanced based on preliminary simulation results. A linear-time invariant controller architecture, applicable to both BRITE and CanX-4&5, is designed based on simulation of several competing controllers. Testing information is combined with control laws and controller to simulate the attitude performance of the satellites throughout their missions.

The aim of this Master's work is to analyze teenagers' attitude towards daily activities of social educator. Research hypothesis: if social educator working at general education school with teenagers can solve arising problems such daily activities influence the formation of teenagers' attitude. Research object - teenagers of general education schools in Utena town. Research aim - to study the attitude of teenagers of general education schools in Utena town towards daily activities of social educator. Research tasks: • to analyse teenagers' attitude towards activities of social educators working at general education schools; • to study social educator's communication and collaboration with teenagers; • to analyse social educator's and teenager's intercommunion. Research methodology: the research was carried out basing on the questionnaire prepared by the author of the work (see Appendix 2). The criteria of questionnaire survey are reflected in questions. Estimation of communication and collaboration between social educator and teenagers in the context of functions performed; estimation of aspects of intercommunion between teenagers and social educator; general estimation of information on respondents. The work is based on empirical study that was carried out in March 2005 at general education schools in Utena. Statistical data were processed by the program Microsoft Excel. Novelty and theoretical significance of the work: the novelty of the subject is outlined by... [to full text]

Grigaliūnienė Rasa. Child‘s attitude to adult: senior task of educological postgraduate studies / sciential leader dr. Montvilaitė Sigita; Vilnius Pedagogical University, Department of childhood studies. – Vilnius, 2005. – 75 p. In master paper child‘s attitude to adult was researched. While postmodernism ideas were settled, requirement of child‘s cognizance came up. Scientists information which can describe child’s attitude to adult world are missing. The aim of the research was to survey and reveal contemporary child attitude to adult. In theoretical part visual peculiarities of preschool child’s were analyzed. Also the factors which could have influence to child’s attitude. In the research part, I have researched positive and negative factors which could have interest to child’s attitude to adult while child cooperating with adult. The research material confirmed the hypothesis, that child’s attitude to adult has changed because of the challenges which are caused by informative society in today’s fast-changing world.

The present study investigates the attitude of adolescents to authority. Thirty-eight adolescents from Boys' Town, Tongaat, participated in this study. The intention of the study was to investigate the attitude of the boys to authority and to determine whether there was a difference in attitude to authority according to grade, race, parental academic background or type of family structure that the boys had. Generally the adolescents at Boys' Town, Tongaat, viewed the mother as authoritarian and the father as authoritative/flexible. Boys in grade 6-9 viewed both mother and father as authoritative/flexible while boys in grade 10-12 viewed both mother and father as permissive. The Indian and black adolescents viewed mother and father as authoritative/flexible while the white and coloured adolescents viewed mother and father as permissive. When parents had grade 12 or less qualification both mother and father were viewed as permissive. When parents had a post-matric qualification, both mother and father were viewed as authoritative/ flexible. Adolescents from single-family households found mother to be authoritative/flexible and father to be authoritarian. Adolescents from nuclear-family households found mother to be equally permissive and authoritative/flexible and father to be permissive. Adolescents from extended-family households found mother to be permissive and father to be authoritative/flexible. Adolescents from foster families found both mother and father to be authoritative/flexible. The positive changes that were brought about in the adolescents and in their relationship with their environment during their stay at Boys' Town, Tongaat, leads to the recommendation that the behaviour modification programme and the parenting skills workshop adopted by Boys' Town, be examined and assessed with the possible consideration for implementation at South African Schools and homes. / Thesis (M.Ed.) -University of Durban-Westville, 2003.
