Psychological Implications of Modern Technologies: “Technofobia” versus “Technophilia”

AbstractThe purpose of this article is to present the psychological consequences, favourable or not, of the modern technologies. Modern technologies, also known as “new technology”, caused the appearance of the psychological ambivalence, because, modern technologies, generate, in the same measure, comfort and disasters. At the psycho-dynamic level, this ambivalence is expressed by technophilia (attraction to technology) and technophobia (rejection of technology).

Access Technologies (AT) for Students with Visual Impairments

AbstractThe present paper aims to highlight the importance of access technologies (AT) to studying the Information Technology (ICT) for students with visual impairments. The research has shown that students with visual impairments are attracted to new technologies and even though at first they have not proven confidence in the benefits of studying this subject, towards the end of the school year the situation changed, meaning that most students were delighted to study this subject and also in the benefits that their acquisitions have upon their personal and interpersonal development

Perovskite type nanopowders and thin films obtained by chemical methods

The review presents the contribution of the authors, to the preparation of two types of perovskites, namely BiFeO3 and LaCoO3, by innovative methods. The studied perovskites were obtained as powders, films and sintered bodies. Their complex structural and morphological characterization is also presented. The obtained results have underlined the important influence of the method of preparation on the properties of the synthesized perovskites
