Published: January 2023

Evaluation of what has been learned, assessment, is one of the fundamental components of modern teaching. The way, the atmosphere and the moment in which the grade is assigned, can significantly affect the overall outcome of the learning process. Assessment due to its didactic, methodological and psychological significance affects all stakeholders in the educational system. As one of the primary determinants of assessment is its motivational function, the aim of this research is to determine and present the relationship between the evaluation of what has been learned (assessment) and motivation for the learning process, based on scientific literature and empirical research. Theoretical starting points and empirical research have shown that assessment significantly affects student motivation and as such manages and determines the entire learning process and outcome. The findings of this paper will contribute to practitioners in the field of education by pointing out the limitations of the existing system of evaluation of student achievement. From the scientific aspect, this paper will point to the docimological factors that determine the choice of models and criteria for school assessment and their influence in the form of a motivating factor in the learning process.
Psychological effects of fake news – literature review
Authors:   Petroleum Gas University of Ploiesti, Romania, Mihai Elena Claudia
Published: January 2023

"Fake news is one of the most discussed topics in the last few years. During the COVID-19 pandemic and during the Ukrainian war, the dangerous nature of this phenomenon became more obvious. More politics and more journalists are using now (fake) news as a weapon. Modern war must be considered in its informational part also. So, a correct evaluation of the news is an important skill for their consumers. Which are the psychological effects of fake news on the audience? Which is the psychological profile of the people that consume fake news? Which people are more vulnerable to suffering its negative effects? Why do people believe and share fake information? How can we explain the failure to distinguish accurate from inaccurate news? We studied the recent research in order to find the answers. This study is a literature review on the argument of fake news, its psychological effects on people and some explanations for this phenomenon. "
Investigating the relationship among adolescents’ career indecisiveness, values and optimism in the process of choosing a career
Authors:   Babeș-Bolyai University, Romania, Grigor Dorina , Turda Emanuel Sebastian ,   Babeș-Bolyai University, Romania
Published: January 2023

"The transition from high school education to tertiary education or employment brings adolescents in front of an important decision on choosing their career. One of the most important decisions to be made by a adolescent is choosing an occupation. Throughout the four years of high school, the adolescent reconsiders this countless times as they discover new skills and particularities. The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship among 11th grade adolescents’ career indecisiveness, values and optimism within choosing a career. The results have shown that a low level of optimism contributes to the increase of career indecisiveness level, to a low level of information gathering regarding decision making, both related to the self and to the career, and to the occurrence of internal conflicts.

The benefits of group counseling in career and educational settings. Online group work as an alternative intervention in a post-pandemic world
Authors:   ", Szilagyi Andreea ,   Politehnica",   University, Bucharest, Romania
Published: January 2023

Group counseling is one intervention that seems to be perceived as less valuable than individual ones in helping professions. In countries where counseling is still in an emerging stage, there is sometimes little to no specific training in group skills for future counselors. This paper addresses the history of group work in helping professions, the types of groups in career settings, the benefits and limitations of group interventions, and the opportunity offered by increasing interest and access to online interventions. The study covers the implications of the social and psychological outcomes of the COVID-pandemic on school and career counseling interventions. Challenges for practitioners and educators in countries where counseling is not a recognized profession are analyzed.
The S/Z Relationship of Rimed Snow Particles
Authors: Fuller Shelby , Marlow Samuel , Haimov Samuel , Burkhart Matthew , Shaffer Kevin , Morgan Austin , Snider Jefferson
Published: January 2023

Abstract. Values of liquid-equivalent snowfall rate (S) at a ground site, and microwave reflectivity (Z) retrieved above the ground site using an airborne W-band radar, were acquired during overflights. Temperature at the ground site was between -6 and -15 °C. At flight level, within clouds containing ice and supercooled liquid water, the temperature was approximately 7 °C colder. Additionally, airborne measurements of snow particle imagery were acquired. The images demonstrate that most of the snow particles were rimed. The S/Z pairs are generally consistent with a published S/Z relationship. The latter was developed with airborne measurements of snow particle imagery, which were used to calculate S, and coincident airborne W-band radar measurements, for Z. Both the previous work and this contribution indicate that most S/Z relationships developed for W-band radars underestimate S in situations with rimed snow particles and with Z < 1 mm6 m-3.
POLIPHON conversion factors for retrieving dust-related cloud condensation nuclei and ice-nucleating particle concentration profiles at oceanic sites

Published: January 2023

Abstract. Aerosol-Cloud interactions (ACI) result in the largest uncertainties in the global radiation budget so far. To improve the current consideration of ACI in global circulation models, it is necessary to characterize the 3-D distribution of dust-related Cloud Condensation Nuclei Concentration (CCNC) and Ice Nucleating Particle Concentration (INPC) globally. This can potentially be realized using the POLIPHON (POlarization LIdar PHOtometer Networking) method together with spaceborne lidar observations. However, dust-related conversion factors to convert bulk aerosol optical properties from lidar measurements to aerosol microphysical properties, are still less constrained in many regions, which limits the applications of POLIPHON method. Here we retrieve the essential dust-related conversion factors at the remote oceanic/coast sites using the historical AERONET (AErosol RObotic NETwork) databases. Depolarization-ratio-based dust ratios Rd at 1020 nm are applied to identify the dust-occurring cases so that it can be possible to contain fine-mode dust dominated cases (after the preferential removal of large-size dust particles during transport), study the evolution of dust microphysical properties along the transoceanic pathway, and mitigate occasional interference of large-size marine aerosols. The newly proposed scheme is proven to be valid and feasible by intercomparisons with previous studies at nine sites in/near the deserts. The dust-related conversion factors are calculated at 20 oceanic/coast sites using both PD (pure dust) and PD+DDM (dust-dominated mixture) datasets. At nearly half sites, the conversion factors are solely calculated using the PD data sets; while at the rest sites, the participation of DDM datasets is required to ensure enough data points in the calculation. Evident variation trends in conversion factors are found for cv,d (extinction-to-volume, gradually decrease), c250,d (extinction-to-particle (with radius >250 nm) number concentration, gradually increase) and cs,d (extinction-to-surface area concentration, plunge of decrease) along both the transpacific and transatlantic dust transport pathways. The retrieved dust-related conversion factors are anticipated in inversing 3-D dust-related CCNC and INPC distribution globally to improve the understanding of ACI in atmospheric circulation models.

Authors: Taskinen Ilari
Published: January 2023

This article introduces the Finnish Army in World War II Database (FA2W) currently under construction that is being built to study the effects of World War II on Finnish society. The database is a stratified sample of 4,253 representative of the men who served in the Finnish Army in World War II. The data have been gathered from the military service record collection of the Finnish Army, which holds files on practically all draft-age Finnish men of the birth cohort 1903–1926 and around 70% of the birth cohorts 1897–1902. The amount of data is extensive, containing over 60 different variables. The main part of the database consists of men's military careers, comprising longitudinal data on their positions in society and in the army (e.g., civilian/conscript/frontline service), military unit, military branch, task, rank, and service class. Other information includes socio-economic information from the draft and wartime and war experiences, such as wounds, illnesses, medical treatments, death, and honors. In the future the database will be expanded with men’s postwar life trajectories to study the long-term effects of the war.

Authors:   , Zhou Ziqi
Published: January 2023

A ceria supported Ag-Pd photocatalytic system was introduced to drive 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) oxidation to 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) under ambient conditions, which could achieve an excellent yield (over 90 per cent) of FDCA within 4 hours under green light irradiation. Significantly, the content of palladium required in this system is relatively small. This discovery might drive the exploration of new photocatalytic systems with different nanostructures or elemental compositions to catalyze chemical reactions.

Authors: P. Nemashakwe , A.Z. Zinyemba , S.M. Gumbe
Published: January 2023

The growth and success of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) is key to the sustainable development of developing countries such as Zimbabwe where deplorable unemployment rates and gigantic gaps between the rich and the poor are widespread. Although SMEs have the capacity to drive economic growth and act as a panacea to the challenges that have bedevilled many African countries, they suffer from high failure rates caused by lack of managerial skills and inappropriate leadership style. The study sought to identify the predominant leadership styles used by SMEs in Zimbabwe by adopting a quantitative research design where a survey was used. Primary data was collected from 241 participants from Bulawayo’s Central Business Area through the use of a closed-ended questionnaire. The study identified two leadership styles namely selective participation style and directional leadership style that were used by SMEs in Zimbabwe. The study concluded that the predominant leadership style used was the directional leadership style. SMEs leaders are encouraged to identify and use a style that will be appropriate for the situation at hand rather than relying only on one style irrespective of the situation.

Ultra-sensitive Plasmonic Biosensors based on Two-Dimensional NanoMaterials
Authors: Zeng Shuwen
Published: January 2023

Surface plasmon resonance sensors are commonly used an effective tool for real-time monitoring biomolecular interactions. The sensing mechanism is based on the evanescent field perturbation at the metallic sensing substrate induced by the binding of chemical and biological molecules. Molecular binding interactions could be measured from the signal of reflected light, under the condition that the surface plasmon resonance is excited by the incident light. In this talk, I will present the use of hybrid 2D nanomaterials-based metasurface nanostructure as an enhanced sensing substrate. The thickness of the plasmonic sensing substrate is tuned in an atomic scale and optimized to improve the sensing capability. Here, both a sharp phase signal change and phase-related Goos-Hänchen signal shift were achieved due to the strong resonance at the surface of the sensing film. The enhanced plasmonic sensitivities of 2D nanostructures were systematically investigated. It is worth noting that the tunability of atomic layer led to the sensing substrate optimized with a narrow scale < 1 nm. Through a precise engineering of the metasurface substrates, 3 orders of magnitude improvement of the sensitivity were demonstrated compared to the one with pure gold sensing substrate. This hybrid 2D nanomaterial-based metasurfaces would provide a good opportunity for developing portable theranostic devices in clinical applications.

Authors: Chanda Dhritiman , Dev Sashi Prava , Das Nibedita
Published: January 2023

Leaves constitute the major part of exposed plant surface. They are open to infestation or sporotropic colonization by air dispersed or splash dispersed mycoflora. The leaves provide unique environment to their surface occupants. The topography of the leaf surface, the microclimate around the leaves and the typical leaf exudate influence the growth and development of varieties of leaf surface micro-organisms and in turn determine the vitality of the plant concerned. In this context survey on the occurrence of Phylloplane fungi on leaf surfaces of eight important medicinal plants viz; Catharanthus roseus (L.) G.Don, Houttuynia cordata Thunb., Solanum lycopersicum Lam., Murraya koenigii (L.) Spreng., Eryngium foetidum L., Clerodendrum glandulosum Lindl., Ocimum sanctum, Capsicum chinense Jacq. From the present study it is being concluded that most abundant phylloplane fungi are Alternaria sp, Penicillium sp, and Aspergillus sp with high value of relative abundance. The number of identified fungal strains were analyzed to obtain relative abundance, species richness, evenness, Shannon Wiener diversity index, Simpson dominance index, and community similarity index. The Shannon Wiener diversity index, Simpson dominance index species richness index, species evenness index was estimated high in Solanum lycopersicum followed by Houttuynia cordata, Ocimum sp, Eryngium foetidum etc. In all the selected medicinal plants same fungal community structure was obtained based on the calculation of similarity index.

Aurangabad covers a total area of 10107 square kilometres, accounting for 3.28 percent of the state’s total area. Chikhalthana MIDC, Shendra MIDC, and Waluj MIDC are three of Aurangabad’s major industrial regions. The present study is under taken to explore the temperature, PH, DO, COD, TDS, TSS, Alkalinity, total hardness, nitrate, vhloride, and Sulphate, among other physico-chemical parameters, from Waluj MIDC area. The findings demonstrate that the majority of the physical and chemical parameters are well within the acceptable range. DO levels were found to be higher than the permitted limit at all sampling stations. When the results were compared to the World Health Organization’s drinking quality criteria, It had been discovered that a few examples of water quality metrics were higher than the acceptable maximum value while others were not. Furthermore, current research might aid new places in better comprehending the hazards to the underground water supplies.

Published: January 2023

Murder and Culpable Homicide are similar to each other, but they are not identical to each other. Section 299 deals with Culpable Homicide and Section 300 explain the concept of Murder. There is a very thin difference between Murder and Culpable Homicide. It becomes difficult to differentiate between them because both concepts represent “The killing of death”. Murder defines that the intentionally killing of a human being which in itself is sufficient to cause the death of a person whereas Culpable Homicide explains that the act is done with the intention of causing death which is likely to cause the death of a person. It is a common understanding that “Every Murder is Culpable Homicide but all Culpable Homicide are not Murder”. In other words, we can say that murder is a part of culpable homicide i.e. Culpable Homicide is regarded as a genus whereas Murder is species.
