ESTABLISH - Environmental Sensing To Act for a Better quality of Life: Smart Health is an European project which goal is is to convert environmental (sensor) data into actionable information for users to provide a healthier and safer environment thereby improving the quality of life. Today we can see that the digital health market is growing rapidly due to the opportunities that sensor technology, connectivity and cloud services bring forward. Exposure to increased levels of air pollution and deteriorated indoor climatic conditions has a severe impact on health and well-being. It leads to increased medication intake and a higher number of hospital admissions, especially for vulnerable groups such as elderly, patients with respiratory or cardiovascular problems, and to a lesser extent also employees in office environments and children. The Internet of Things influence is increasing rapidly and the smart adaptive services providing real-time feedback tailored to specific user and application needs will be developed by combining networked sensors and other data sources with adaptive models in a non-predefined manner. ESTABLISH can improve the personal quality-of-life in the buildings and outside through the connecting the information between human and the IoT sensors. This transition from monitoring to managing environmental conditions will lead to a lower health risk and a better quality of life in our highly urbanized society, resulting in reduced health costs. Students from high school will learn how to use special devices like FitBit and environmental sensors in order to improve their physical condition. This paper aims to illustrate how research can be conducted in a high school from Bucharest: searching how the air quality parameters could influence the vital parameters when performing physical exercises.

We are now crossing a period in which we are facing both the increase of the high medical costs and the impact of diseases on the whole population. Although the slogan “it’s cheaper to prevent than to treat” may sound unfashionable, we strongly believe it’s true than ever. It’s necessary to educate for health and to promote health in Romania in deep accordance with international standards, especially those of the European Union. The active involvement of the young people is essential mostly to encourage them in adopting a healthy living style based on the regular practice of physical exercises, this being the best way of keeping fit and of body self-defense, the reduction of stress symptoms and the prevention of the appearance of heart and of circulatory diseases, of diabetes problems, overweight and osteoporosis. On the other hand, the transdisciplinary approach of education for health, within the international project ESTABLISH (Environmental Sensing to Act for a better quality of...

Robotic aerial systems have seen a significant development in recent years, both due to technological development and the various missions that can be accomplished by the onboard equipment, leading to innovative approaches in inter and transdisciplinary fields due to technological and information management challenges, starting with concepts, materials, technologies, programming and ending with the educational and human resources area. The article wishes to present the UAS multi-agent systems from the perspective of information exploitation and sharing.

UAV area confirms of the concepts, materials and technologies at the state of maturity obviously causing STEM approaches that can produce values, competencies and skills for future users since high school. Transdisciplinary approaches with numerous practical applications of general aspects of the field to the specific lead to the establishment of complex connections between the areas underlying the use of vehicles unmanned (aerodynamic and mechanical flight, construction and operation of aircraft, computer science and programming, electrical and electronics, aviation legislation and regulations). This course is developed under the frame of MASIM project, Multi-Agent Aerial System with Portable Ground Station for Information Management. The objectives of an UAV optional course are related to the developing of thinking interand transdisciplinary leveraged effect in preparing students and raising awareness of all competition mentioned above, using a UAV calls for a personal development...

Abstract: This article has a theoretical side as well as a practical one and our purpose is to present a complete perspective on acquiring the metacognitive competence in an interdisciplinary context. The interdisciplinary approach is obvious in a group project ...

Abstract: The teachers worldwide are now facing a new challenge: accessing real objects from a remote location. The paper describes an attempt of designing a remote laboratory in the Physics lab of Grigore Moisil High School from Bucharest. The main goal is to develop ...

Today, the Spectroscopy is not very well represented in the Romanian Physics curriculum for high school. We are trying to design a blended learning strategy to facilitate the understanding of the spectroscopic investigation phenomena. Our perspective begins with a short theoretical consideration of what light means, as for example, what is the role of the quantum transitions in the absorption and the emission of electromagnetic radiation. We are intending to use Inquiry-based method in studying Spectroscopy. So, we will try to lead the students to find the answers to the questions as the following: What is light? How is the light emitted or absorbed? What are the quantum transitions? How can we detect the emission of radiation? What is a spectrum? How can we obtain spectra with a classical spectrometer? How can we register spectra with a digital spectrometer? The students will notice the emission spectra, or pattern of wavelengths (atomic spectra) emitted by different elements in th...

The purpose of this article is to show/to present that the method of conceptual map in studying, systematization and evaluation of Physics knowledge is a method which is based on constructivist learning/studying. We begin with a short introduction, necessary to the ...
