Sustainable Development Concerning with Mankind’s Climate Changes

Mankind has witnessed many outstanding weather happenings which determined radical climate changes and thus, the draught is expected further to grow. Many experts, academics and scientists all over the continents have strongly called for attention about the importance of saving the water, either for housing and industrial consumers. According to the February - 2007 UNO Report, Terra is the subject of an accelerated global heating process, firstly due to the carbon emissions. Several decades further the climate changes will continue even if, theoretically, these emissions could partly be stopped. As one of the official UNO’s institutions, the World Meteorology Organisation certified the global heating and alerts about another worrying phenomenon,namely the soil disaster.environment, climate changes, global warming, greenhouse effect, sustainable development, EU policy on the environment, climate protection

Achievement of the planetary defense investigations of the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission

NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission was the first to demonstrate asteroid deflection, and the mission's Level 1 requirements guided its planetary defense investigations. Here, we summarize DART's achievement of those requirements. On 2022 September 26, the DART spacecraft impacted Dimorphos, the secondary member of the Didymos near-Earth asteroid binary system, demonstrating an autonomously navigated kinetic impact into an asteroid with limited prior knowledge for planetary defense. Months of subsequent Earth-based observations showed that the binary orbital period was changed by –33.24 minutes, with two independent analysis methods each reporting a 1σ uncertainty of 1.4 s. Dynamical models determined that the momentum enhancement factor, β, resulting from DART's kinetic impact test is between 2.4 and 4.9, depending on the mass of Dimorphos, which remains the largest source of uncertainty. Over five dozen telescopes across the globe and in space, along with the Light Italian CubeSat for Imaging of Asteroids, have contributed to DART's investigations. These combined investigations have addressed topics related to the ejecta, dynamics, impact event, and properties of both asteroids in the binary system. A year following DART's successful impact into Dimorphos, the mission has achieved its planetary defense requirements, although work to further understand DART's kinetic impact test and the Didymos system will continue. In particular, ESA's Hera mission is planned to perform extensive measurements in 2027 during its rendezvous with the Didymos–Dimorphos system, building on DART to advance our knowledge and continue the ongoing international collaboration for planetary defense

Model Analysis on Consumption and Tourist Demand in Galati

Based on national income distribution scheme and the individual income coming to citizens after tax deduction, Swiss Professor K. Krapf is trying to define the place of the tourism consumption within total consumption. This paper presents a research based on a semi-structured interview and a questionnaire. The purpose of this research is to highlight the degree to which respondents are aware of motivation influence on tourist consumption. In order to determine this influence, we can create a model with a number of controllable variables with beneficial effects for society

Sustainable Knowledge Transfer from Business Simulations to Working Environments: Correlational vs. Configurational Approach

Employing both a correlational and a configurational framework, this study proposes that engagement in business simulations, working environment culture, and acquired knowledge on business simulations are forerunners of sustainable knowledge transfer from business schools to organizations through business simulations training. Using a sample of 120 graduates from a Romanian business school, the results from configurational framework (based on regression analyses) reveal that knowledge transfer is explained by engagement in business simulations and working environment culture. However, findings highlight no correlation between acquired knowledge through business simulations and knowledge transfer. We have also employed fsQCA (fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis), which reveals that engagement in business simulations, working environment culture, and acquired knowledge on business simulations are adequate conditions for knowledge transfer. This study sheds light on a new research avenue of knowledge transfer from business schools to industry, less investigated by prior research

Adults’ Educational Needs and Continuous Professional Development

In order to decide on an education necessity, one has to answer the question �What and who do we organize a certain educational process or system for and why do we organize it in a certain way and not otherwise?�. In order to decide on an education necessity one must also answer the question �What social problems does the educational process or system we devised solve?�. The problem of permanent vocational training is important in sustaining the vocational conversion of the working class. A change of views and mentality is desirable regarding vocational training, in the sense that people need to be more aware of the importance of permanent learning, more motivated in order to broaden their horizon and more willing to develop their professional skills

THE STUDY OF COMPULSIVE BEHAVIOR IN ONLINE SHOPPING

Despite the prevalence of Internet in our everyday life, little is known about consumer buying behavior in on-line purchases. Moreover, consumer buying disorder (CBD), one of the new addictions of the era, is poorly researched in the Romanian literature. This study aimed at identifying whether this disorder is present among Romanian students that purchase on-line through a questionnaire applied to 100 students attending the University „Dunarea de Jos” of Galati. An analysis of the responses yields that a 13% of the studied sample indeed presents characteristics of this disorder and confirms previous global studies that the compulsive buyers are majoritarian women. This work increases our understanding of on-line consumer buying behavior and will contribute to future research on similar topics
