Optimists have long associated digitization with improved quality of life and social progress, with the Internet democratising and decentralising information, allowing more people to participate in the knowledge society. The same can be stated about educational technology (edtech), notably in the discourse fuelled by edtech providers, which has long lauded learning tools as a way to improve educational access and outcomes. The scientific debate on edtech effectiveness, on the other hand, has been more cautious, warning of uncritical digitalization trends. Although there is some consensus among academics that technology can improve access to information, providers promises are frequently unfulfilled. Furthermore, studies on learning efficacy have been inconsistent, with the conclusion that investing in technology alone will not improve learning. Since 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and the rapid shift to online learning have increased scrutiny of edtech promises and research. Prior to COVID-19, fully digitised teaching programmes with educational technology integrated throughout the curriculum were uncommon, with only a few institutions, such as open universities, having built fully digital teaching and learning models. Many people believe that the epidemic has expedited the digitalization of higher education and will result in significant and long-term changes.

In this study we seek to reflect upon a possible future reality – the end of automobility as we experienced it in the 20th century. We based our thought exercises on the concept of ‘social acceleration’ as it was coined in sociology by Hartmut Rosa and that of ‘automobility’ in John Urry’s perspective. Our reflection brought us in front of a peculiar tendency – in the age of high-speed machines humans become immobile.

The phenomenon of transnational families is a topical issue on the European Union's family policy agenda, especially in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Europe 2020 Strategy. Romania, not only as a member state of the European Union, but also as a country directly affected by the scale of this phenomenon, must include in the public family policy the issue of transnational families and provide solutions for these families. Starting from the identification of the risk factors faced by children whose parents are working abroad, the article proposes a critical analysis of existing programs and measures in national legislation aimed at preventing and combating the social exclusion of Romanian children from transnational families. The results of the SWOT analysis carried out indicate a number of shortcomings in covering the risk situations of these vulnerable children, the access to education and a good start in the life of these children being quite affected. The obtained results have implications at the level of decision-makers, helping to improve the efficiency of measures and programs for the left behind children and transnational Romanian families.

Gender and age play an important role in shaping the risk of developing severe infection with COVID-19. The exposure to risks associated with COVID-19 differs by country, but the factors explaining the cross-national variations are not fully understood, while the analyses of incidence, mortality and fatality by gender and age cover a handful of countries, Romanian not included. This paper focuses on the unfolding of the COVID pandemic in Romania, looking at prevalence, mortality rate and case fatality rate by age and gender, over the first 32 weeks of the pandemic. Data retrieved from EUROSTAT and the weekly reports issued by the National Institute of Public Health (NIPH) reveals the uneven distribution of prevalence and fatality across gender and age groups. The results show that the infection was more spread among women between 40 and 59 years old, while men paid a higher death toll unevenly distributed across age groups.

From public announcers and wall inscriptions to press and the audiovisual, any possible way of spreading the news became instantly an attractive opportunity for promoting people, products or ideas. Social Media made no exception – here, more than any other time or place, anything goes. Romania’s political agenda has witnessed various challenges raised by NGOs since the early 2000’s. This paper analyses few examples of Romanian political (and social) campaigns promoted and supported through Social Media. In present times, Social Media can prove to be the optimal instrument able to help us engage social actions and nurture communities of interest united by the aspiration of trying to change the world. Nevertheless, in times of great concerns, Social Media can prove to be as much damaging as it is useful.

Human assets play a very important in the survival of small firms. There are prominent studies from developed and developing countries exploring the human resource practices among small firms. From the perspective of Resource Based View, human resources are regarded as potential assets that are indispensable for sustainability of all firms. Studies concentrating on human resource practices from small and large firms’ perspectives are abundant. Still there are fewer studies which view the importance and factors for fostering workers retention from the purview of plant workers of small firms in developing countries. The objective of the study is to explore workers retention factors among plant workers and whether it differs significantly sector wise. The study confirms that human resource retention factors are important for retaining plant workers among small manufacturing firms. The findings also proves that there is significant differences in workers’ retention factors with respect to demographic characteristics of workers. The study underlines that small manufacturing firms are relatively less conscious to retain workers in the plant thus leading to their instability.

Emotional intelligence has community positive value for the profession of policing, and knowledge about which police officers within an agency have the highest levels of emotional intelligence is of significant management value within law enforcement agencies. The focus of this study was to determine whether differences in emotional intelligence (EI) levels among binary categories of small-agency Oklahoma law enforcement officers were statistically significant. Three research questions guided the study, involving statistical comparison of actual EI scores across varying levels of career longevity and promotion within the law enforcement profession by the study participants. The Assessing Emotions Scale (AES) was used to scale the EI levels of the 86 participants. A self-report survey was used to classify participant longevity or promotion. The application of inferential statistics to the data, in the form of multiple t-tests, revealed statistically significant differences in average EI levels, with the higher mean distribution of EI levels present among those with more than 10 years of longevity, a history of rank promotion, and a history of promotion to supervisory status. The study provides analysis and implications for law enforcement leadership and future research.

In this study I aimed to conduct a qualitative research on the influence of alcohol on domestic violence using hybrid questionnaires (online and F2F) on three distinct groups of alcohol consumers in Bucharest (medium, high and low). I used the online scientific platform "SurveyMonkey" for the questionnaire application and data collection. The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, AUDIT-C model was used to assess alcohol consumption in the 2 months (October, November 2021) according to three key consumption indicators: frequency of alcohol consumption, alcohol level, average amount consumed per drink and frequency of excessive alcohol consumption Change in consumption was recorded analogously to AUDIT-C variables (frequency of alcohol consumption, amount of alcohol consumption and excessive alcohol consumption), whereby consumption indicators are related to the degree of change. So, is there a link between degree of consumption, frequency and domestic violence? The results, together with a range of psychiatric, psychoanalytic and psychological theories, provide a variety of explanations for the violent behavior perpetuated in family relationships, denouncing their impact and harmful effects on personality upbringing, psychological profiling, and especially on the belonging and role of the dysfunctional family.
