Investigación en la escuela
2011
La realización de experiencias de interacción directa con aspectos concretos de la realidad resulta imprescindible cuando se pretende lograr cambios profundos en actitudes y comportamientos, como los que persigue la educación para la sostenibilidad. Para dichos cambios no bastan, sin embargo, algunas experiencias escolares (dentro o fuera del aula) favorecedoras de las adquisiciones conceptuales y procedimentales: se precisa la participación en acciones reales. La Educación para la Sostenibilidad aparece así como una dimensión que a la vez exige y propicia la implicación de los estudiantes en acciones reales como forma particularmente eficaz de “aprender con experiencias”. Este trabajo pret…
Combined Effects of 50 Hz Electromagnetic Field and SiO2 Nanoparticles on Oxidative Stress in Plant’s Gametic Cells / Zemfrekvences (50 Hz) Elekromag…
2015
Abstract The paper presents the results of combined effects of an extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (50 Hz) (ELF EMF) and SiO2 nanoparticles on fluorescence of plant gametic cells (immature microspores). The data were recorded by a BD FACSJazz® cell sorter after cell irradiation by blue laser (488 nm). A significant difference of fluorescence was observed between gametic cells after 1 hour incubation in suspension of SiO2 nanoparticles and the control gametic cells. It was observed that fluorescence intensity of gametic cell was higher with ELF EMF treatment in comparison to control cells, but it was statistically significant only for cells treated with electromagnetic radiation…
When industry and academia meet: the development of a robotized semiautomatic motorcycle transmission
2017
Abstract The development of the business - industry environment is unconceivable without the involvement of academia. On one hand, the universities can provide new perspectives and know-how which can be further translated into exquisite products and services for companies. On the other hand, the business environment can raise practical problems and challenges for academia, providing in the same time material support for finding solutions to these problems. This paper presents a successful partnership between business and academia materialized in the development of a robotized semiautomatic motorcycle transmission. Since the solutions existing on the market did not meet the specific requirem…
Teaching methodology for Design for Six Sigma and Quality techniques – an approach that combines theory and practice
2017
Abstract Quality techniques and Design for Six Sigma methodology are complex areas that need to be understood through correlation of theoretical and practical teaching. Universities started to apply different approaches for achieving better results, on building greater knowledge and skills for their students. The paper presents a methodology of teaching quality techniques and DFSS methodology, an approach that is focused on understanding the concepts through technical examples from industry and applying the knowledge within a project. A model is proposed for teaching Design for Six Sigma methodology through a workshop done in the classroom. The students are split into groups and will practi…
Academia-industry Collaboration for Augmented Reality Application Development
2019
Abstract Due to our previous experience in AR development, with this research project we propose to study how Augmented Reality (AR) can be adopted by an industrial partner and which are the major outcomes from which a company may benefit. For this purpose, we partnered with a forward-looking company willing to embrace the idea of implementing new technologies for industrial purposes. In this research we identified that the most significant impact which AR may have for our industrial partner is in providing remote assistance and for product exploitation and marketing purposes. For the latest we developed a customized AR application which is currently available on Apple’s App Store. By analy…
Engineering creativity support for future research and development
2017
Abstract The human abilities to use nature’s materials and force to their benefit, by means of engineering applications has made the human development possible. Multiple factors have influenced the human development, sometimes accelerating it, other times slowing it down to annulation. Although it is known and accepted that creativity’s role is essential in engineering performances, the neglecting of creativity in engineering education is not understood. The graduates from Anglo-Saxon countries and Europe reduced creative potential and the lack of necessary abilities concerning the solving of the companies’ problems have been emphasized by specialists in education and governmental reports r…
Integrated Neuronal Network in ERP for Management Decision Making
2019
Abstract Enterprise Resource Planning systems have proven to be efficient and have become a de facto standard for coordinating vital business components. However, the obvious question has arisen: if each company uses the same ERP system, what happens to the competitive aspect of the business after the implementation of the IT systems? While for some organizations, ERPs have only become a necessity for running and organizing business, others want to exploit it to exceed the performance of competitors. Consequently, ERP systems are often a combined solution between the legacies of the systems they have replaced and the model proposed by the ERP provider, resulting in systems with unique, cust…
Content development approaches in e-learning lessons
2017
Abstract Developments in the IT field have led to the development and variety of e-learning objects so that video or gaming lessons are found in most online courses and are developed in order to maintain the student’s interest. The current Learning Management Systems challenges refer to how to generate a dynamic content that automatically adapts to the a priori level of a student’s knowledge and behavior during lessons. Starting from the model student, the component of adaptive learning, the aim of this paper is to keep student motivation by designing a course with content related to the level of knowledge of the students. At the same time, lessons combine elements of gamification with quiz…
A Comprehensive Analysis Regarding DESI Country Progress for Romania Relative to the European Average Trend
2017
Abstract In the absence of globally coherent specifications and standards, digitalization would never have spread across the world in such a huge extent as it did. The availability of digital technologies has significantly increased in the last decade, shifting the focus of policy-makers from on the diffusion of these technologies to their usage by governments, companies and also individuals. Actually, digital technologies and internet became the main forces for transforming the modern world and its economy. Activating within a turbulent environment, Romania faced many challenges in the last three years, but it managed to perform better from period to period. Relative to the past performanc…
