This article presents six probability distributions from the Gamma family with three parameters, for the flood frequency analysis in hydrology. The choice of the Gamma family of statistical dis-tributions was driven by its frequent use in hydrology. In the Faculty of Hydrotechnics, the im-provement of the estimation of maximum flows and including the methodological bases for the realization of a regionalization study with the linear moments method with the corrected pa-rameters was researched, being an element of novelty. The linear moments method is better than MOM because it avoids the choice of skewness depending on the origin of the flows, practiced in Romania. The L-moments method conforms to the current trend for estimating the parameters of statistical distributions. Observed data from hydrometric stations are of relatively short length, so the statistical parameters that characterize them are of a sample that requires correction. The correction of the statistical parameters is proposed, using the method of least squares based on the inverse functions of the statistical distributions expressed with the frequency factor for L-moments. All the necessary elements for their use are presented like, quantile functions, the exact and ap-proximate relations for estimating parameters and frequency factors. A flood frequency analysis case study was carried out for the Ialomita river, to verify the proposed methodology. The per-formance of this distributions is evaluated using Kiling-Gupta and Nash-Sutcliff coefficients.

Over the last few years, skills-based education and their use in business have played an important role in increasing organizational performance. Skills acquired by employees in the education system and further developed on the job are divided into hard and soft skills. Hard skills refer to technical and technological skills as well as problem solving, while soft skills refer to interpersonal skills that are largely acquired throughout the professional life. Thus, the purpose of this study is to identify whether these skills are essential for an employee in the modern organization. Though a considerable amount of research has been dedicated to each of these skills leading, individually, to a competitive advantage, through this descriptive analysis, the research contributes to the existing academic literature as well as to business practice by emphasizing the necessity for modern employees to have both hard and soft skills to help their organization gain a competitive advantage on the market. This study is a starting point for future research and would help education institutions to train their students for the challenges of the labor market, and also contribute to a better use of these benefits by the business environment.

“…This research is important because, on one hand, the number of internships in business is increasing, and on the other hand, many authors still raise debate on this topic. (Marinas et al 2021) conclude that there is a significant increase in the number of documents published after 2017 which indicate a growing interest in this topic among the scientific community. However, there is still a gap in the body of knowledge in this regard.…”

“…However, there is still a gap in the body of knowledge in this regard. According to (Vista 2020), there is no data-driven evidence on what skills are currently important and how internships help students transition into the workforce in the near future (Marinas et al 2021).…”

The paper explores “life skills” acquired and enhanced during an internship in preparation for the work of the future, identifies challenges faced and gaps between academic preparation and internship requirements, and explores the impact of the COVID 19 pandemic on the internship experiences of Generation Z students. This qualitative study involves cohorts from 2016–2021, including 50 students before the pandemic, and 47 students during the pandemic, majoring in the field of Economy and Business. Data are gathered through 97 semi-structured interviews and written reports from the students. Interestingly, the findings showed that job placement is not the main reason why students pursue an internship; acquiring skills and experience was identified as the major motivating factor. “Communication” was the top enhanced skill from internships in both periods before and during the pandemic, while “relationship building” and “ethical issues” ranked as the second and third most important skills before the pandemic, to be replaced by “critical-thinking and problem-solving” and “analytical and technical” skills during the pandemic. Lack of accountability and COVID-19 stress were reported as the main challenges experienced during internships, while lacking hands-on experience and social skills were identified as gaps. The foremost pieces of advice for future interns revealed in this study are to get involved seriously and show respect and integrity.
