Water and energy are two inextricably linked resources of great importance, as they are the key for satisfying basic human needs. In this study a water–energy nexus analysis is conducted in order to achieve a sustainable supply and effectively manage water and energy at city level. Different electricity uses such as domestic, agricultural and commercial are compared and tested on how they correlate with water use. Moreover, time series of water and energy consumption for the island of Skiathos are analyzed using specific distance metrics. The results of the analysis show that water and energy are intimately related.

Problem Solving Task

This study compared individuals with pairs in a scientific problem-solving task. Participants interacted with a virtual psychological laboratory called Virtue to reason about a visual search theory. To this end, they created hypotheses, designed experiments, and analyzed and interpreted the results of their experiments in order to discover which of five possible factors affected the visual search process. Before and after their interaction with Virtue, participants took a test measuring theoretical and methodological knowledge. In addition, process data reflecting participants’ experimental activities and verbal data were collected. The results showed a significant but equal increase in knowledge for both groups. We found differences between individuals and pairs in the evaluation of hypotheses in the process data, and in descriptive and explanatory statements in the verbal data. Interacting with Virtue helped all students improve their domain-specific and domain-general psychological knowledge.
