Methodological aspects on solving zero-sum matrix games in pure and mixed strategies of size 2*2

2025-04-06T21:06:20+00:00

In this paper the methodology for solving matrix games is presented, addressing two distinct types of situations: saddle-point games solved in pure strategies and 2×2 dimensional games solved using mixed strategies. In the first part, the conditions for the existence of the saddle point and the procedures for determining the optimal strategies in their case are analyzed. In the second part, graphical and analytical methods for solving 2×2 dimensional games are detailed when the saddle point is missing, with an emphasis on the use of mixed strategies to identify optimal solutions. The article provides both theoretical foundations and practical applications, contributing to a thorough understanding of zero-sum game theory.

Establishment of Conflictology as a distinctive scientific branch

2025-04-06T21:06:21+00:00

Conflictology emerged as a distinct scientific discipline in response to the growing need to understand and manage conflicts in an increasingly interconnected and complex world. By integrating knowledge from multiple fields and developing effective methods for prevention and resolution, this discipline plays a crucial role in fostering global peace and stability. As an interdisciplinary science, it applies specific principles and methods to analyze, manage, and resolve conflicts. Through a combination of analysis, negotiation, mediation, and transformation, conflictology helps maintain harmonious relationships in society and prevents the escalation of tensions. Although it has developed gradually, conflictology remains an active field of research, exerting a direct impact on international politics as well as the daily lives of individuals and communities.In this article, we will analyze how this discipline has evolved, from a fragmented approach to conflicts to its recognition as an autonomous field of study and application.

Typology of values: between tradition and modernity

2025-04-06T21:06:21+00:00

Values provide essential landmarks in guiding behavior and decision-making. They reflect the beliefs, ideals, and principles that guide human actions, contributing to the formation of culture and the structuring of society. Over time, values have evolved under the influence of social, economic, and cultural changes, determining a permanent negotiation between tradition and modernity. In this context, understanding the typology of values becomes crucial to deciphering the complexity of contemporary social dynamics. Traditional values, often associated with stability, family, religion, and community, coexist today with modern values, centered on autonomy, innovation, progress, and individualism. This coexistence generates both points of convergence and sources of tension, influencing the way in which individuals and communities relate to reality.

The perspective of the teaching frameworks on the assimilation and integration of moral-religious values in the context of the pilot model "P.I.L.D.A." implemented for high school students

2025-04-06T21:06:22+00:00

Education, the foundation of human development, integrates intellectual, emotional and social dimensions, and moral-religious education plays a central role in the formation of spiritual values and identity. The study proposes a weekly intervention program (P.I.L.D.A.), focused on the parables of the Savior Jesus Christ and religious fables, applied to secondary school students from the "Oltea Doamna" Technological High School, to stimulate moral-religious behavior. The varied activities included debates, readings and philanthropic, cultural projects. The evaluation, carried out through questionnaires and observations of 20 teaching staff from the same high school, reveals the improvement of students' attitudes and interpersonal relationships, strengthening the role of moral-religious education in harmonious and responsible development.

Well-being in adolescents: characteristics and ways for development

2025-04-06T21:06:22+00:00

The article describes the result of a constative and formative research on well-being in adolescents, an important theme in contemporary psychology. The constative research included 80 adolescents, while the formative one, focused on 20 adolescents with low and moderate level of well-being. The following questionnaire were administrated to the entire sample of adolescent: WHO well-being questionnaire, Oxford happiness inventory and the Freiburg Personality Inventory (HB- form). The result revealed some significant facts that define the manifestation of well-being during adolescence: a significative number of adolescents show low and moderate levels of well-being. Well-being in adolescents is correlated with certain personality traits: a high level of well-being is associated with high extraversion – introversion and masculinity – femininity, ad low levels of neuroticism, depression emotionality, inhibition and emotional instability. Well-being in adolescents can be developed through a psychological intervention program. Adolescents who participated in the well-being enhancement program showed improvements in their well-being.

Unlocking the psyche: the therapeutic power of associative metaphor cards in individual and group psychotherapy. The therapeutic story "Mustafa. The way to yourself"

2025-04-06T21:06:22+00:00

Metaphoric association cards (OH) serve as powerful tools in psychotherapy, counselling, and personal development, facilitating self-expression, communication, and emotional exploration. By combining metaphoric association cards, individuals access unconscious thoughts, emotions, and traumatic experiences, triggering self-healing. Integrated with story therapy, OH cards help diagnose and correct internal processes, identify values, and navigate life challenges. The therapeutic story "1001 Nights" illustrates self-discovery, spiritual awakening, and inner balance through symbolic themes. Used in group psychotherapy, these cards foster insight, catharsis, empowerment, and integration, making storytelling a transformative tool for emotional processing and psychological growth.

2025-04-06T21:06:22+00:00

This article analyzes the translation of chromatic terms from Romanian into English, highlighting the challenges and solutions associated with this process. The denotative and connotative importance of these terms, as well as their impact on poetic atmosphere, are emphasized. From a didactic perspective, the use of translation is proposed as a method for learning foreign languages, focusing on the development of linguistic and cultural competencies. By analyzing chromatic terms in texts, students can better understand linguistic and cultural nuances, enhancing their interpretative and expressive skills. The article provides practical suggestions for integrating translation into teaching, promoting an iterative learning process.
