  2026-03-25

  Guest editors

  Maria Potes Barbas¹, Andreia Teles Vieira¹, and Cassio Santos¹

  Deadline: May 15th

  The integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) into higher education represents a structural transformation that transcends mere technological adoption, fundamentally reconfiguring the dynamics of teaching, research governance, and social inclusion. As higher education institutions grapple with these rapid advancements (Sánchez-Caballé & Santos, 2025), they are compelled to move beyond reactive measures towards strategic frameworks that align scientific excellence with ethical responsibility. This Special Issue of Calitatea Vieții provides an important platform for exploring how the academic community can facilitate a responsible AI transition that improves quality of life and supports strong social outcomes.

• Social and online media use, in the context of recent crises (with Covid-19 and the war in Ukraine on focus)

  2022-06-26

  The pandemic context has created the prerequisites for the development of social media and online medium utilizations. Digital solutions were largely used in various activity domains, especially during the pandemics time. Accordingly, the perspectives of such a theme approach in academic research could be very diverse.

  Therefore, Quality of Life proposes a special issue for the month of December this year, launching here this academic papers call, by encouraging approaching from various domains, looking openly towards a multitude of themes, e. g.:  the topics that are debated through sm, who are the users, concepts defining, information vs. disinformation (both during pandemics and in present times which are under the sign of the war in Ukraine and of the Ukrainians refugee crisis), positive vs. negative aspects of sm in societies, how the pandemic changed the `look` of sm, content writer vs. receivers, the answer of various institutions and actors to the opportunities that this medium offers in times of specific crisis in which physical contact meant a real social and public health problem. Also, the concept of disinformation,  the potential social perils/ disturbances (`fake-news, deep-fake, etc.) that can be generated via sm, and so on. Other themes that weren’t listed here, and are corresponding to the general topic described in the call title, are also welcomed.

• Call for workshop & Special Issue - Domestic Objects: The Transformation of Everyday Life in Post-Socialist Era

  2021-06-02

  The idea of material culture was present from the inception of social sciences as a way to somehow mark the distinction between what people do, what people believe, what they say they do and believe, and what people have. Various instances of this effort to circumscribe materiality are revived in a ritual way, either as a generator of new theoretical frameworks, or just as an effort to reconnect with a particular set of artifacts that are central for the understanding of a subject matter. However, the stark distinction between the symbolic and the material occasionally fades out when it comes to some very humble and not so humble, everyday objects.
