In the era of COVID-19, many people have suffered high levels of stress and mental health problems. To cope with the widespread of suffering (physical, psychological, social, and economical) the positive psychology of personal happiness is no longer the sole approach to examine personal wellbeing.

This book deals with the Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) a widely used atomic emission spectroscopy technique for elemental analysis of materials. It is based on the use of a high-power, short pulse laser excitation. The book is divided into two main sections: the first one concerning theoretical aspects of the technique, the second one describing the state of the art in applications of the technique in different scientific/technological areas. Numerous examples of state of the art applications provide the readers an almost complete scenario of the LIBS technique. The LIBS theoretical aspects are reviewed. The book helps the readers who are less familiar with the technique to understand the basic principles. Numerous examples of state of the art applications give an almost complete scenario of the LIBS technique potentiality. These examples of applications may have a strong impact on future industrial utilization. The authors made important contributions to the development of this field.
Psihologia socială și psihologia clinică sunt domenii interconectate: pe de o parte, numeroase disfuncții psihologice sunt generate în cadrul acțiunilor sociale cotidiene, iar, pe de altă parte, eficiența intervențiilor terapeutice depinde în mare măsură de cunoașterea dinamicilor psihosociale prezente în spațiul clinic. Propunând o abordare integrativă a conceptului de sănătate psihologică, volumul are ca principal obiectiv introducerea disciplinei psihologiei sociale clinice în România. Sunt expuse pe larg problemele emoționale în viața cotidiană, cauzele comportamentului disfuncțional, rolul dinamicilor interpersonale și de grup în adaptare și terapie, procesele de schimbare psihologică, dar și strategiile terapeutice în context social.
Copilăria timpurie, intervalul de la naștere și până la împlinirea vârstei de 6-7 ani, reprezintă cea mai importantă perioadă din viața copiilor. Acum dezvoltarea lor este foarte rapidă, iar deficiențele de învățare și cele psihocomportamentale pot fi mai ușor depistate și remediate. Plecând de la aceste premise, autorii prezintă principalele repere ale educației timpurii, mijloacele educative, provocările actuale și posibile soluții, precum și aspecte legate de activitatea cadrelor didactice. Soluțiile propuse au drept scop o dezvoltare intelectuală și socială armonioasă a copiilor, obținerea unor performanțe școlare superioare, scăderea ratei eșecului școlar și a abandonului. Volumul pune la dispoziția studenților de la facultățile de științe ale educației, psihologie sau asistenta socială și practicienilor din aceste domenii rezultatele celor mai recente cercetări, precum și noi direcții de analiza.
