Information technology is a very important part of a company or institution. The information system itself is expected to provide better benefits for companies or institutions. However, along with technological developments are often misused by some irresponsible parties that can lead to threats of the use of technology. Information system security is very important for institutions to maintain information optimally and safely. The existence of a security problem triggers a procedure to control access rights in an information system. A good information system is an information system that can be assessed at a security level, so that it can provide comfort for users. COBIT 5 as an information technology security control standard. Whereas to achieve the standard level of achievement CMMI is needed in information technology security. The combination of the two standards in the information system is able to provide a level of achievement of information technology. The results obtained from the maturity value are 4,458 which means the institutions are at the Managed and Measurable level. This level, institutions are increasingly made aware of technological developments. Institutions have implemented the quantification concept in each process, and are always monitored and controlled for performance. Information system security at this level is good, it's just that it still needs innovation and development to be ready, fast and right in handling security threats.

Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) is a disease caused by infections of the respiratory tract, larynx, pharynx, sinuses and nose. ARI often causes death because the sufferer who comes for treatment is underestimated is already suffering from severe ARI. In 2013 to 2015 ARI was one of the ten most common illnesses in the city of Kupang, where ARI ranked first, followed by other diseases of the upper respiratory tract and grastitis. This study produced an expert system to diagnose ARI using the Variable Centered-Rule System method which functions to facilitate knowledge development and Dempster-Shafer Theory which serves to overcome uncertainty by entering the density of each symptom of ARI in the system. The VCIRS method is a method of building knowledge and inference strategies on expert systems. This method is rigid in accommodating changes in inference strategies except for changes in knowledge structures. This study aims to make the VCIRS method dynamic in an inference process where the sequence of variables in inference is determined by the occurrence and density of the variable. System accuracy by using medical record data of 95% with the triggering sequence of symptoms becoming dynamic every time a consultation session occurs.
Density-operator evolution: Complete positivity and the Keldysh real-time expansion
Authors: Reimer Viktor , Wegewijs Maarten
Published: July 2019

We study the reduced time-evolution of general open quantum systems
by combining insights from quantum-information and statistical field theory.
Inspired by prior work [Eur. Phys. Lett.~102, 60001 (2013) and Phys. Rev. Lett.~111, 050402 (2013)]
we establish the explicit structure guaranteeing the complete positivity (CP) and trace-preservation (TP)
of the real-time evolution expansion in terms of the microscopic system-environment coupling.

This reveals a fundamental two-stage structure of the coupling expansion:
Whereas the first stage naturally defines the dissipative timescales of the system
-before having integrated out the environment completely-
the second stage sums up elementary physical processes, each described by a CP superoperator.
This allows us to establish the highly nontrivial functional relation between the (Nakajima-Zwanzig) memory-kernel superoperator
for the reduced density operator
and novel memory-kernel operators that generate the Kraus operators of an operator-sum.
We illustrate the physically different roles of the two emerging coupling-expansion parameters for a simple solvable model.
Importantly, this operational approach can be implemented in the existing Keldysh real-time technique
and allows approximations for general time-nonlocal quantum master equations
to be systematically compared and developed while keeping the CP and TP structure explicit.

Our considerations build on the result that a Kraus operator for a physical measurement process on the environment
can be obtained by `cutting' a group of Keldysh real-time diagrams `in half'.
This naturally leads to Kraus operators lifted to the system plus environment which
have a diagrammatic expansion in terms of time-nonlocal memory-kernel operators.
These lifted Kraus operators obey coupled time-evolution equations which constitute an unraveling of the original Schroedinger equation for system plus environment.
Whereas both equations lead to the same reduced dynamics,
only the former explicitly encodes the operator-sum structure of the coupling expansion.

Published: July 2019

Creation of a strong agricultural insurance market in Ukraine as an effective resource and instrument to strengthen the agrarian sector of economy from the point of view of minimizing the risks affecting the commercial performance is one of the key stages in the development of the Ukrainian insurance protection system in the agrarian sector of economy. At the same time, the Ukrainian agricultural market is still in the stage of formation and develops randomly, with no well-defined development strategy and proper state support. The aim of the paper is to assess the current trends in the operation of the Ukrainian agricultural insurance market. The authors study the peculiarities of the formation, the current stage of functioning and further development of the agricultural insurance market in Ukraine. The results of the study reveal the principle of the structural formation and functional characteristics of the agricultural insurance market services in Ukraine – its mono-component was discovered – in view of the fact that it is represented only by the system of insurance of agricultural crops and perennial plantings (with the domination of field crops) and the optional functioning of the latter – one third of the market forms formal compulsory insurance in the context of state finance programs for farmers. The authors summarize the complex of reasons that keep the development of the Ukrainian agricultural insurance market grown and systematize its peculiarities that are typical for this stage of the agrarian sector development. Researchers note the sufficient development of agricultural insurance market tooling in Ukraine at this stage – the market uses a sufficient set of insurance products that according to their qualitative characteristics meet international standards in terms of both classical and parametric insurance schemes. Thus, the conducted research allowed to form the directions for the development of the agricultural insurance market in Ukraine. The key one among them was its further institutional development within the framework of private-public partnership, which is proved by positive international experience and stimulate interests’ unity of this market participants.
İRAN ROMANININ ŞEKİLLENMESİNDE SİYASİ VE SOSYAL DÜZENİN ROLÜ (KAÇAR VE PEHLEVİ DÖNEMİ)

Romanın toplumla diyalektik ilişkisi vardır.
Roman toplumdaki farklı seslerin temsilcisidir ve aynı zamanda farklı
sosyo-politik söylemlerin inşa edilmesi için bir alandır. İran'da roman, Kaçar
döneminin son yıllarında ortaya çıkan ve Pehlevî döneminde genişleyen yeni bir
fenomendir. Bu araştırmada, romanların İran toplumunun özelliklerini nasıl
yansıttığını ve etkilediğini inceleyeceğiz. Bu meseleyi irdelemek için, dönemin
Farsça yazılmış romanlarını yapısalcı bir yaklaşımla incelemeye çalıştık. Bu
yıllarda yazarlar, genel olarak İran toplumunun çeşitli meselelerine
yakınlaşmaya çalışmışlardır. Ancak, din meselesi en az ilgi çeken konu
olmuştur. Yazarların değindikleri sosyal meseleler incelediğimiz bu 100 yıllık
dönemde önemli ölçüde sabit kalmıştır. Bu yıllarda, milliyetçiliğin
yayılmasında yardımcı olan romanlar özellikle de geç Pehlevî döneminde toplumda
bir Batı karşıtı eğilimini geliştirmeyi başarmışlardır.

Foreword
Authors: CHEBABHI Ali
Published: July 2019

During the past decade, the installed wind power capacity in the world has been increasing
more than 30%. Wind energy conversion system (WECSs) based on the doubly-fed induction
generator (DFIG) dominated the wind power generations due to the outstanding advantages,
including small converters rating around 30% of the generator rating, lower converter cost.
Due to the non-linearity of wind system, the DFIG power control presents a big challenge
especially under wind-speed variation and parameter’s sensibility.

To overcome these major problems; an improved IDPC (Indirect Power Control); based on
PID “Proportional-Integral-Derivative” controller, was proposed instead the conventional one
(based on PI), in order to enhance the wind-system performances in terms; power error,
tracking power and overshoot. Unfortunately using robustness tests (based on severe DFIG’s
parameters changement); the wind-system offers non-satisfactory simulation results which
were illustrated by the very bad power tracking and very big overshoot (> 50%).

In this context; adaptive, robust & intelligent controllers were proposed to control direct &
quadrature currents (Ird & Irq) under MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) strategy to
main the unity power factor (PF≈1) by keeping the reactive power at zero level. In this case,
the new IDPC based on intelligent controllers offered an excellent wind-system performance
especially using robustness tests, which offered a big improvement especially using Type-1
Fuzzy Logic Controller (T1-FLC), Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Control (T2-FLC; is the New class of
fuzzy logic) & Neuro-Fuzzy Logic (NFC).

In this sense, I think that this edited book is an important contribution to help students already
in mastery of the basis of power electronic circuits and control systems theory to achieve
these pedagogical goals. The proposed book describes with easy manner the modeling &
control of Wind-turbine DFIG in order to control the stator powers using different topologies
of robust, adaptive and intelligent controllers.

The book present numerous intelligent control techniques that help in the control design of
the DFIG wind-system (WT).

The textbook “Improved Indirect Power Control (IDPC) of Wind Energy Conversion
Systems (WECS)” proposes a collection of concepts, organized in a synergic manner such
that to ease comprehension of the WT control design.

The book’s contribution goes towards completing the already existing literature by offering a
useful integration of control techniques, worthy to be read, understood and employed in the
various WT applications.

Published: July 2019

Background

Blended treatments, combining digital components with face-to-face (FTF) therapy, are starting to find their way into mental health care. Knowledge on how blended treatments should be set up is, however, still limited. To further explore and optimize blended treatment protocols, it is important to obtain a full picture of what actually happens during treatments when applied in routine mental health care.

Objective

The aims of this study were to gain insight into the usage of the different components of a blended cognitive behavioral therapy (bCBT) for depression and reflect on actual engagement as compared with intended application, compare bCBT usage between primary and specialized care, and explore different usage patterns.

Methods

Data used were collected from participants of the European Comparative Effectiveness Research on Internet-Based Depression Treatment project, a European multisite randomized controlled trial comparing bCBT with regular care for depression. Patients were recruited in primary and specialized routine mental health care settings between February 2015 and December 2017. Analyses were performed on the group of participants allocated to the bCBT condition who made use of the Moodbuster platform and for whom data from all blended components were available (n=200). Included patients were from Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, and France; 64.5% (129/200) were female and the average age was 42 years (range 18-74 years).

Results

Overall, there was a large variability in the usage of the blended treatment. A clear distinction between care settings was observed, with longer treatment duration and more FTF sessions in specialized care and a more active and intensive usage of the Web-based component by the patients in primary care. Of the patients who started the bCBT, 89.5% (179/200) also continued with this treatment format. Treatment preference, educational level, and the number of comorbid disorders were associated with bCBT engagement.

Conclusions

Blended treatments can be applied to a group of patients being treated for depression in routine mental health care. Rather than striving for an optimal blend, a more personalized blended care approach seems to be the most suitable. The next step is to gain more insight into the clinical and cost-effectiveness of blended treatments and to further facilitate uptake in routine mental health care.

BACKGROUND

The number of older adults is increasing rapidly worldwide. Older adults face a unique set of challenges and may experience a range of psychological comorbidities. Advances in multimedia technology have allowed for digital storytelling to be utilized as an intervention for health-related outcomes.

OBJECTIVE

The primary aim of the proposed systematic review is to examine the reported health-related outcomes for older adults engaged in digital storytelling. The review also aims to examine the methods associated with digital storytelling, characteristics of digital story products, and implementational considerations.

METHODS

This protocol adheres to the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Protocols. We will systematically search selected electronic databases to identify studies that meet our eligibility criteria. From the included studies, data will be extracted and synthesized using a narrative approach and summarized in tables. The methodological quality of the included studies will be assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool.

RESULTS

Systematic searches, data extraction and analysis, and writing of the systematic review are expected to be completed by the end of 2019.

CONCLUSIONS

The proposed systematic review will summarize the existing studies using digital storytelling to improve health-related outcomes for older adults. Results from this review will provide an evidence base for the development of digital storytelling interventions that are effective and implementable with older adults.

Conclusion: The results indicated that using eye-tracking technology to measure these metrics offers an objective, reliable and quantifiable way of differentiating between individuals with different severities of TBI, and those without a TBI.
Las disyuntivas en curso en Brasil Crisis en Brasil. El ciclo del Estado, 1988-2017
Authors: Oliver Costilla Lucio Fernando
Published: July 2019

El artículo analiza la crisis política actual de Brasil en el marco del ciclo del Estado que se abre en 1988 con la aprobación de una nueva Constitución y el retorno a la vida civil democrática. Se pone énfasis en el estudio de la ecuación Estado-sociedad civil y cómo ésta se va modificando a lo largo del tiempo hasta arribar a la situación de aguda crisis política de hoy. Particular atención se otorga a la valoración de lo acontecido bajo los dos gobiernos progresistas de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva y el primero de Dilma Rousseff y a las contradicciones e insuficiencias de sus exitosas políticas. Se da seguimiento a la protesta multitudinaria de la sociedad civil en junio de 2013, cuando inicia un distanciamiento profundo entre la sociedad y el Estado, mismo que no hizo más que profundizarse con el impeachment de 2016 a la presidenta Dilma. El artículo concluye preguntando si hay un agotamiento del ciclo del Estado iniciado en 1988.
Diseño de lo sentido: una incidencia social
Authors: Caballero Quiroz Aaron J.
Published: July 2019

En Los sentidos del sujeto, Judith Butler esclarece la sutil diferencia entre la manera de entender normalmente las emociones: como una resolución unívoca en quien las representa o como una transitoriedad que, acaso, queda configurada previa formación del sujeto. Aunque el libro de Butler no se refiere a las emociones y los sentidos de manera particular, sus reflexiones en torno a la trascendencia del sujeto ofrecen elementos para considerar nuevas discusiones teóricas que permitan al diseño caracterizar lo social y lo individual, lo público y lo privado, en un mismo  movimiento recíproco.
‘Hágalo usted mismo’. El autodidactismo como alternativa para la generación de capacidades sociales
Authors: Rodríguez García Tania
Published: July 2019

El autodidactismo ha jugado papeles importantes a lo largo de la historia como un acto de autoenseñanza, de saciar nuestra curiosidad por algo en específico o bien, como parte de políticas públicas. Este artículo argumenta que el acto de aprender es en sí una actividad comparable a la del diseño, en la cual se ponen en práctica actividades y estructuras cognitivas y metacognitivas (documentadas a lo largo de los años) involucradas también en procesos de diseño. De la misma manera, discutimos el efecto democratizador del autodidactismo en el individuo desde el aspecto emocional, así como su potencial para la creación de capital y capacidades humanas necesarias para la conservación de nuestro medio ambiente y el bienestar social de cualquier nación.
A MODIFIED KALDORIAN MODEL OF CUMULATIVE CAUSATION
Authors: Da Costa Orebro José Luis
Published: July 2019

El objetivo de este artículo es presentar un modelo kaldoriano modificado de causalidad acumulativa a fin de discutir los efectos de los cambios en las reglas de política monetaria y en el grado de apertura de la cuenta de capital de la balanza de pagos sobre las trayectorias dinámicas del producto real, la tasa de interés nominal y la inflación. En el modelo desarrollado se hacen algunas modificaciones a la estructura básica del modelo de causalidad acumulativa. En primer lugar, como sugiere Palley (2002), se añaden dos nuevas ecuaciones a la estructura básica del modelo para analizar la dinámica de la capacidad productiva de la economía. En segundo, se considera que la tasa de variación de los salarios nominales no es uniforme en todo el mundo, sino específica a cada país. En este contexto, suponemos que los sindicatos pueden fijar la tasa de variación de los salarios nominales como una tasa que es igual a la inflación más las ganancias de productividad, ambas para el último período. En tercer lugar, consideramos una economía que opera con un régimen de cambio flexible en un contexto de movilidad de capital (imperfecta) debido a la presencia de alguna forma de controles de capital. Finalmente, suponemos que la política monetaria se aplica en un régimen de metas de inflación y que el Banco Central fija la tasa de interés nominal para cada período con base en una versión de la llamada “regla de Taylor”.
Integración comercial del sector agrícola y desigualdad económica en los países en vías de desarrollo
Authors: Baudasse Thierry , Calderón Villarreal Cuauhtémoc
Published: July 2019

En las últimas décadas el sector agrícola de los países en vías de desarrollo ha estado sometido a importantes cambios estructurales. Las estrategias de desarrollo económico aplicadas  en el período 1960-1970 dieron prioridad a la aplicación de políticas agrícolas cuyo objeto fue la manipulación de los términos internos del intercambio. Su intención era transferir recursos del sector agrícola al sector industrial y contribuir de este modo al proceso de industrialización de estos países. Esta poítica agrícola contribuyó a mantener el sector agrícola en el estancamiento, a reducir su productividad y a aislarlo del progreso técnico. Esta política tampoco incitó a los productores agrícolas a modernizar ni a aplicar los frutos del progreso técnico. Además la presencia de infraestructuras públicas inadecuadas e insuficientes y la falta de acumulación de capital humano contribuyeron a mantener esta tendencia hacia el estancamiento económico y baja o nula productividad

Published: July 2019

El presente documento está enfocado en la generación de Bioabono mediante el uso de la lombriz Eisenia Foetida (Oligoquetos: Lumbricidae), la cual a condiciones metabólicas adecuadas fomenta la degradación de residuos sólidos orgánicos. Este proyecto evalúa el proceso de obtención de Bioabono a partir de residuos sólidos orgánicos generados en el barrio Álamos de Bogotá - Colombia, mediante un trabajo en conjunto con la comunidad, para proyectar la cantidad de abono posible a producir por el sector en línea con las políticas nacionales que pretenden introducir la separación y aprovechamiento de residuos desde los hogares. Se logró establecer que los residuos orgánicos representan el 30% de los residuos generados en el sector, a partir de los cuales se diseñaron tres camas de lombricultivo, con diferentes sustratos, siendo la cama con mayor proporción (60%) de residuos de yuca y papa la que mayor rendimiento presentó respecto el compost obtenido. El abono obtenido presentó una calidad similar en las tres camas analizadas, evidenciando un exceso de humedad respecto la solicitada en la norma NTC 5167, lo que sugiere que el producto obtenido requiere de un proceso de secado previa su comercialización.

Published: July 2019

La cebolla de bulbo es una de las hortalizas más cultivas y consumidas a nivel mundial, en Colombia su siembra se concentra en los departamentos de Boyacá y Cundinamarca. Sin embargo este cultivo en la actualidad presenta problemas de plagas, enfermedades y mala nutrición mineral. El buen suministro de macro y micronutrientes es fundamental para que la planta logre desarrollar sus procesos metabolicos adecuadamente. Dentro de los macronutrientes el fosforo (P) tiene un papel relevante ya que este hace parte de la transferencia de energía en los procesos metabólicos y síntesis de las estructuras celulares de las plantas. Por esta razón el objetivo de la investigación fue la de evaluar una fuente no convencional de fosforo en plantas de cebolla (Allium cepa L.) bajo condiciones de campo, para esto se empleo un diseño completamente aleatorizado con cuatro tratamientos que consistieron en la aplicación de un fosfato termico en diferentes porcentajes Las variables fisiológicas y de crecimiento evaluadas fueron: masa fresca y seca foliar y de bulbo, area foliar, contenido foliar de fósforo, calcio y magnesio y rendimiento. Se presentaron diferencias significativas (P≤0,05) en las variables masa fresca foliar y de bulbo, masa seca de bulbo, area foliar, contenido foliar de magnesio y rendimiento frente a la aplicación de una fuente convencional, esto convierte al fosfato térmico en una alternativa a tener en cuenta dentro de los planes de fertilización de cultivos semestrales dentro de un esquema de nutrición mineral bajo las condiciones de estudio.

Authors: Goparaju Laxmi , Ahmad Firoz
Published: July 2019

Climate change has very significant impact on livelihoods and food security. The geospatial technology provides a better understanding of various themes related to climate change. This study examined the seasonal (kharif, rabi and zaid) long term (1970-2000) monthly climatic parameters such as precipitation, potential evapotranspiration over the country of India. The seasonal Aridity Index was computed and analyzed with respect to various agro-ecological zones of India. The analysis of long term mean precipitation (mm) during kharif, rabi and zaid season was found to be in the range of (14-7463), (0-914) and (0-1722) respectively. The analyses of the long term mean potential evapotranspiration in all seasons was found notable high in arid/semiarid zones. The Aridity Index during kharif, rabi and zaid seasons was found to be in the range of (0.19-4.27), (0.03-0.73) and (0.01-1.48) respectively. The seasonal Aridity Index in some of the agro-ecological zones of the central India in the arid and semiarid regions was found to be notably low. A concrete plan with synergic approach including integrated watershed management and traditional ecological practices will help to fulfill crop water demand and maintain adequate soil moisture for the present and future crops.

The usefulness of this means of transportation has undergone numerous transformations with implications in terms of utility-applied aspect as well as in the area of sports and recreation. Military Physical Education, as a component of military training, includes utility-applied skiing, focusing in particular on cross-country skiing and ski touring. The modern battlefield requires military training in increasingly complex and new areas in this century, with a focus on the formation of well-trained and multispecialized armies of professionals, to the detriment of mass armies. Ski-mountaineering has increasingly evolved over the last few years, due to the possibility of reaching relatively fast on the ridge tips and lowering even faster, eliminating the barriers imposed by the relief. As the name calls it, it combines the techniques and procedures of skiing with mountaineering.

Authors: Popescu Maria Magdalena
Published: July 2019

It is said that western society is heading toward individuation, towards personalization. This, along with continuous technological progress, triggers the concept of Personal Identity Online (PIO) which highlights and tailors a specific characteristic of an individual’s behavior in an online network of similar ones, benefitting from a single opportunity to shape an individual’s identity differently from the one he has in reality. Looked at from the network of ties existent in a social online environment, identity is tailored by each individual representation in virtual encounters. This representation is provided by the users’ profiles while the posts used are enriched and shared account for the visual representation of alterity. The present paper looks at how impression management and personal branding are developed in the social network environment in a desire to complete personal characteristics that reality did not grant. Analysis on posted content, management of information and social manifestation are involved to this end.

We had two samples in our research, the first group was the experiment group that was formed by 30 students with the age between 18-22 years old components of the military pentathlon team, and the second group, the control group, formed by 30 students with same age. The results of our investigation showed that the experiment group had improved statistical significant differences compared with the control group proving the necessity of using a scorring grid for the 50 m obstacle swimming in the military pentathlon.

The conclusions of the investigation showed that through the specific scoring system, the experts’ assessment certifies the viability of the new analytical curriculum introduced into student planning program within the experimental group.
Forms of Terrorism in Ancient Rome
Authors: Strechie Mădălina
Published: July 2019

Terrorism is an old phenomenon in human civilization. Terminologically, it comes from Latin, but this scourge also fully manifested itself in Roman civilization, throughout its history. This study seeks to fill a bibliographic gap on this criminal phenomenon, most studies of it starting with the Middle Ages, without any reference to Ancient Rome, which is unfair, especially since Rome was confronted with this phenomenon, which it defined terminologically and to which it responded with the necessary force, thus transforming its defence policy.

The first forms of terrorism emerged in Rome during the Kingdom, when, at the beginning of its political organization, Rome faced numerous terrorist manifestations, especially from outside the Roman state. The Gauls were, at the beginning of the Republic, genuine agents of terrorism in Rome through their plundering expeditions that caused real terror. Etruscan pirates were terrorists, too, for the Roman trade, the struggle of the plebeians and their withdrawal with barricades in order to obtain political rights meant real political terror at that time, then Spartacus’ revolt and his march which spread terror throughout Rome, the civil wars which bled Rome became genuine forms of internal terrorism, especially because of the assassination of Roman state leaders, as well as the corruption masterly unmasked by Cicero.

The forms of external terrorism were also present, the most notorious episode being the Punic wars, in particular the war of Hannibal, the most effective terrorist for Rome, the Dacians’ plundering expeditions in the Roman garrisons in Moesia, the battles with the Parthians and the Britons are as many forms of the terrorism that Rome faced during its history, which compelled it into creating new forces capable of responding to this new way of fighting. We believe that the Praetorian Guard, with all its units, was the most effective counter-terrorist force in combating the terrorist phenomenon strongly manifested in Rome. Therefore Rome, knowing the phenomenon, defined it most precisely, a definition that still applies today.

Published: July 2019

Both during university studies and at the beginning of their careers in different jobs, it has often been found that students and young employees face difficulties when they need to use their theoretical knowledge to solve practical professional problems. A possible cause of this phenomenon is the fact that the academic disciplines are usually taught in a deductive manner. The courses are conducted with focus on the presentation and explanation of new concepts and theories, and finally give examples or resolve some practical applications. This paper presents several ways to teach university subjects to develop students’ abilities to effectively link the theories to practice. It is about the teaching in an inductive manner, which starts from the evocation of real professional situations in the professional environment and gives then theoretical support and practical suggestions to approach and solve problems
The School and the Community Towards the Prevention and Reduction of School Dropout
Authors: Stănică Nicoleta
Published: July 2019

This paper aims to emphasize the importance of the partnership between school and community for preventing early school leaving and reducing the school dropout. In order to achieve a successful partnership, it is necessary to go through some steps of “exploration-evaluation-planning-training-initiation-achievement-checking-regulation-consolidation-action-implementation-assessment”. Thus, the four conditions for achieving this process need to be respected: communication, coordination, cooperation and partnership. The educational partnership is the form of communication, cooperation and collaboration offering the optimal support to the child at the level of the educational process. It involves a unity of requirements, options, decisions and educational actions between educational factors and it is carried out within the educational act. A successful partnership implies identifying goals and common interests useful for the partners and the community, finding the optimal way to organize and manage the available resources in order to achieve the purpose, identifying the competencies of those involved in these projects in order to achieve most of them and implementing changes for the benefit of the institution. Preventing the school dropout should be the highest priority assumed equally by the school and the community. Beyond national policies and strategies which are more or less applied, each community has its own characteristics and dropout causes have different values from one community to another. So, the two entities, the school and the community, need to find personalized and coherent solutions to prevent this phenomenon, which will surely define the structure of the future generations.
