INITIAL ESTIMATION ON THE CAUSE OF SPILLED OIL IN THE VIETNAMESE COASTAL ZONE IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2007 YEAR
Authors: Thanh Tran Duc
Published: July 2023

From January to May 2007, the floating oil attached the coastal areas and some islands of 20 coastal  provinces in large scale, from Ha Tinh to the south. The consequences of this event are heavy for forthcoming and long time, meanwhile the cause of spilled oil has been not determined. The existing suppositions can be included into two main groups: Firstly, the causes have been from offshore production  sites working or stopping inside or outside of Vietnamese Sea, secondly, the causes are from oil transportation or other navigation activities which purposefully or inpurposefully have dumped oil on their routes, or shipping accidents on the sea. Beside. there are some different opinions, but little persuasion. Based on the analysis of existing information and data, the author of this paper indicates that the cause of the  event has been not from any concrete perpetrator at any concrete moment, but from the annually accumulative consequences of wasted oil into the sea from many different sources. From them, the oil  wasres and ballast from shipping on the international navigation routes or in harbor waters have been the sources of most importance. The wasted oil of multi-sources has been being accumulated into the slicks  concentrating in the determined offshore waters, and floating on the sea after rit e relatively stable currents by seasons. The phenomena of El-Nino lasting from September of last year to present has made the climatic  turbulence and changed in hydrological structure of sea. So that, the offshore waters bearing oil slicks has run to coasts and floated oil has been appeared in the large scale.

Published: July 2023

Reviewer assignment is the process of matching submitted articles with qualified reviewers for objective feedback. Reviewer Assignment Problem (RAP) refers to the challenge of finding qualified reviewers and matching them with publications that meet minimal requirements. The goal of this study is to gain a better understanding of the RAP domain by investigating the current state of research, the breadth and depth of existing approaches, the potential for future development, the difficulties inherent in the field, and the potential for novel solutions to the reviewer assignment problem. According to the results, researchers in the RAP area are mostly interested in finding ways to increase automation, fairness, accuracy, and subject coverage. The primary objective of the proposed study is to create a proactive mechanism for assigning reviewers to papers using machine learning methods. The study suggests two systems that are built utilising machine learning techniques. Unsupervised learning based Proactive Reviewer Paper Assignment System (UPRPAS) and deep learning based Proactive Reviewer Paper Assignment System (DPRPAS) are the names of the two systems presented. UPRPAS is an unsupervised method that uses Latent Dirichlet Allocation to construct a reviewer and article topic model..
Remote Sensing Imagine Change Detection Using Semi-Supervised Neural Networks
Authors: Manchanda Mahesh
Published: July 2023

By comparing and contrasting photographs of the same location taken at various periods using remote sensing technology, we may determine whether or not there have been any changes to the land cover there. Identifying shifts in a timely manner will facilitate the identification of natural disasters and climate change, the evaluation of damage, and the rehabilitation of affected areas. Both supervised and unsupervised methods have been utilised historically for change detection. In practise, specialists can only gather a small number of tagged patterns to use in solving the change detection issue. In this case, supervised techniques are ineffective, and if unsupervised methods are employed instead, some scarce but useful labels are wasted. In this dissertation, we offer a novel methodology to enhance change detection in the face of data scarcity by combining a small number of labelled patterns with a large number of unlabeled ones. In this study, many neural network architectures are employed to develop active and semi-supervised learning change detection methods. For better change detection when only a small number of labelled patterns are available, we redesign two unsupervised learning based neural networks, a modified self-organizing feature map and a Hopfield type neural network, in a semi-supervised framework.

Comparative Study of Gamma- Ray Shielding Parameters for Different Epoxy Composites
Authors: El- Sawy Amal A. , Sarwat Eman
Published: July 2023

In the current work various types of epoxy composites were added to concrete to enhance its effectiveness as a gamma- ray shield. Four epoxy samples of (E/clay/B4C) S1, (E/Mag/B4C) S2, (EPIL) S3 and (Ep) S4 were used in a comparative study of gamma radiation attenuation properties of these shields that calculating using Mont Carlo code (MCNP-5). Adopting Win X-com software and Artificial Neural Network (ANN), µ/ρ revealed great compliance with MCNP-5. By applying (µ/ρ) output for gamma at different energies, HVL, TVL and MFP have been also estimated. ANN technique was simulated to estimate (µ/ρ) and dose rates. According to the results, µ/ρ of all epoxy samples scored higher than standard concrete. Both S2 and S3 samples having higher values of µ/ρ, show minimum dose rate values. (µ/ρ) and RPE% values were enhanced, the concrete containing E/Mag/B4C (S2) had the best results, while the concrete containing Ep (S4) provide the worst results. The ANN prediction results take 15 sec for estimating gamma doses corresponding to seventeen shield thicknesses, while the theoretical MCNP-5 results took approximately between 7 to 10 hours for five gamma doses. ANN provides excellent predictions with a high degree of correlation depending on increasing the number of attenuation parameters used in the training process. Also, it predicts gamma dose rates for a large number of shield thicknesses that cannot be calculated theoretically in a very short time. This supports, the created epoxy composite offers good attenuation properties for many shielding applications and could be proposed as an injecting mortar for cracks in biological shields and the walls of diagnostic and radiotherapy rooms. However, further investigations are planned for different filler ratios, for comparison purposes, in order to reach optimal shielding properties
Dormancy-breaking and germination requirements for seeds of the threatened Austral papaya (Carica chilensis)
Authors: Loayza Andrea P. , García-Guzmán Patricio , Carozzi-Figueroa Giovanni , Carvajal Danny E.
Published: July 2023

Seed dormancy is one of the most important adaptive mechanisms in plants, which optimizes germination, seedling emergence, and establishment so that these processes occur when environmental conditions are favorable for plant survival and growth. Endemic to rocky environments of the southern Atacama Desert, the Austral papaya (Carica chilensis) is the papaya species with the southernmost distribution of the Caricaceae and the species growing in the most extreme environmental conditions. This threatened plant has minimal natural regeneration, attributed to low germination rates, but no information regarding seed dormancy release exists. Here we investigated the dormancy-breaking requirements and germination of C. chilensis by assessing the combined effects of desiccation with nine pre-sowing treatments. We hypothesized that, as in other members of the family, C. chilensis seeds would possess physiological dormancy. Our results confirmed this hypothesis and revealed that ultra-drying (< 3% moisture content) and treating seeds with sulfuric acid, gibberellic acid, or potassium nitrate are the most effective methods for germinating C. chilensis. These treatments are thus recommended to propagate this threatened papaya species.

Teleosts, the most species-rich group of jawed vertebrates, have evolved a remarkable diversity of primitive and specialized features that provide a valuable resource for understanding vertebrate evolution. Here, we collected a comprehensive genome dataset of fish, including 115 newly sequenced species, to fill genome gaps for seven orders. By combining the phylogenetic and fossil records of teleosts, we observed that they were relatively scarce from the early to middle Triassic but quickly flourished following the massive extinction event at the end of the Triassic. This rapid radiation coincided with global temperature increases and the fragmentation of Gondwana, implying a positive correlation between temperature rise, tectonic plate movements, and teleost radiations. Our data also revealed that the end-Triassic extinction event had a greater impact on teleost radiation than the Permian-Triassic extinction. We identified a core set of regulatory elements related to aquatic adaptation traits such as swim bladder functional shift and structural specialization of pectoral fin, which were crucial for the adaptation of teleosts to their broad ecological niches. Functional experiments validated the regulatory roles of these conserved elements on the formation of specialized homologous organs in teleosts. Overall, our findings shed light on the links between teleost speciation bursts with geological events, and genetic innovations that have shaped extant teleost biodiversity.
Local Monitoring of Photosensitizer Transient States Provides Feedback for Enhanced Efficiency and Targeting Selectivity in Photodynamic Therapy
Authors: Sandberg Elin , Srambic Chinmaya V , Piguet Joachim , Liu Haichun , Widengren Jerker
Published: July 2023

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) fundamentally relies on local generation of PDT precursor states in added photosensitizers (PS), particularly triplet and photo-radical states. Monitoring these states in situ can provide important feedback but is difficult in practice. The states are strongly influenced by local oxygenation, pH and redox conditions, often varying significantly at PDT treatment sites. To overcome this problem, we followed local PDT precursor state populations of PS compounds, via their fluorescence intensity response to systematically varied excitation light modulation. Thereby, we could demonstrate local monitoring of PDT precursor states of methylene blue (MB) and IRdye700DX (IR700), and determined their transitions rates under different oxygenation, pH and redox conditions. By fiber-optics, using one fiber for both excitation and fluorescence detection, the triplet and photo-radical state kinetics of locally applied MB and IR700 could then be monitored in a tissue sample. Finally, potassium iodide and ascorbate were added as possible PDT adjuvants, enhancing intersystem crossing and photoreduction, respectively, and their effects on the PDT precursor states of MB and IR700 could be locally monitored. Taken together, the presented procedure overcomes current methodological limitations and can offer feedback, guiding both excitation and PDT adjuvant application, and thereby more efficient and targeted PDT treatments.

Published: July 2023

Objective This study aims to analyze whether there are any differences in clinicopathological features and prognosis between HER2 ultra-low, HER2-null and HER2 low expression in Chinese breast cancer (BC) patients. Methods The clinicopathological data of 1363 HER2 negative BC patients were retrospectively collected (from January 2018 to December 2019). HER2 status was further classified into HER2-null, HER2 ultra-low and HER2-low. HER2-null expression is defined as infiltrating cancer cells completely free of staining. HER2 ultra-low expression is defined as ≤ 10% of infiltrating cancer cells showing incomplete and faint/weak membrane staining. HER2-low expression is defined as HER2 IHC 1 + or 2 + with negative ISH assay. Results Of 1363 patients, there were 86 (6.3%) HER2-null patients, 395 (29.0%) HER2 ultra-low patients and 882 (64.7%) HER2-low patients. There were statistically significant differences in histologic type (P = 0.014), histologic grade (P = 0.001), Ki-67 proliferation index (P < 0.001) and postoperative endocrine therapy (P < 0.001) among patients with different HER2 status. In addition, the proportion of hormone receptor (HR) negative BC in HER2-null (72.1%) and HER2 ultra-low (81.0%) was significantly higher than that in HER2-low (12.2%, P < 0.001). The survival analysis showed that HER2 status had no effect on disease-free survival(DFS)in HER2 negative BC patients (log-rank, P = 0.281). However, regardless of HER2 status, HR-positive patients had better DFS than HR-negative patients (log-rank, P = 0.003). Cox multivariate analysis revealed that age (HR [95%CI] = 0.950 [0.928, 0.972], P < 0.001), HR status (HR [95%CI] = 3.342 [1.658, 6.736], P = 0.001) and postoperative endocrine therapy (HR [95%CI] = 0.048 [0.048, 0.023], P < 0.001) were important influencing factors of DFS in HER2-negative BC patients. Conclusion HER2 ultra-low BC patients demonstrated distinct clinicopathological features from HER2-null and HER2-low tumors; while, HER2 status (null, ultra-low or low) had no prognostic value in these HER2 negative BC population. Consistent with the published literature, HR status was an independent prognostic factor for DFS in HER2 negative BC patients.

A series of novel 3,3'-(p-tolylazanediyl)di(propanehydrazide) derivatives bearing double sets of thiosemicarbazide, oxadiazolethione, variously N- and S-substituted triazolethione, pyrrole, and hydrazone moieties were synthesized and their molecular structures were confirmed by IR, 1H, 13C NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry data. X-ray analysis of 2,2'-((((p-tolylazanediyl)bis(ethane-2,1-diyl))bis(4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-5,3-diyl))bis(sulfanediyl))bis(1-(p-tolyl)ethan-1-one) crystal has revealed, that the molecules in the crystal are associated by means of intermolecular hydrogen bonds of OH···N type, forming centrosymmetric dimers. The antioxidant activity of the synthesised compounds was screened by a DPPH radical scavenging assay, reducing power assay, and ferric reducing antioxidant power assay. Among the synthesised compounds, 2,2'-(3,3'-(p-tolylazanediyl)bis(propanoyl))bis(N-phenylhydrazine-1-carbothioamide) has been identified as possessing the highest antioxidant activity, which is 1.25-2 times higher than that of the commercial antioxidant butylated hydroxytoluene.
Distributive trials : a novel design to screen or evaluate multiple simultaneous interventions in clinical trials
Authors: Haviari Skerdi , Mentré France
Published: July 2023

Background: In some medical indications, numerous interventions have a weak presumption of efficacy, but a good track record or presumption of safety. This makes it feasible to evaluate them simultaneously. Here we introduce a modified factorial trial design that randomly allocates a pre-specified number of interventions to each participant, and statistically tests each intervention. We compare it to factorial trials, parallel-arm trials and multiple head-to-head trials, and derive some good practices for its design and analysis.
Methods: We simulated various scenarios involving 4 to 20 candidate interventions among which 2 to 8 could be simultaneously allocated. A binary outcome was assumed. One or two interventions were assumed effective, with various interactions (positive, negative, none). Efficient combinatorics algorithms were created. Sample sizes and power were obtained by simulations in which the statistical test was either a difference in proportions or a logistic regression Wald test with or without interaction terms for adjustment, with a Bonferroni multiplicity-adjusted alpha risk in both cases. All code is provided without the need for compiling.
Results: Distributive trials reduce sample sizes 2- to 7-fold compared to parallel arm trials, and increase them 1- to 2-fold compared to factorial trials, mostly when fewer allocations than for the factorial design are possible. An unexpectedly effective intervention causes small decreases in power (<10%) if its effect is additive, but large decreases (possibly down to 0) if not, as for factorial designs. These large decreases are prevented by using interaction terms to adjust the analysis, but these additional estimands have a sample size cost and are better pre-specified. The issue can also be managed by adding a true control arm without any intervention.
Conclusion: Distributive randomization is a viable design for mass parallel evaluation of interventions in constrained trial populations. It should be introduced first in clinical settings where many undercharacterized interventions are potentially available, such as disease prevention strategies, digital behavioral interventions, dietary supplements for chronic conditions, or emerging diseases. Pre-trial simulations are recommended, for which tools are provided.

Published: July 2023

Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are embryonic pluripotent cells that can differentiate into spermatogonia and oogonia, making them a genetic source for germplasm conservation through cryobanking and the generation of germline chimeras. Therefore, PGC studies should be conducted for each species, given possible divergences in migratory patterns of PGCs. In this work, the PGCs of 3 neotropical species (Pseudopimelodus mangurus, Astyanax altiparanae, and Prochilodus lineatus) were characterized by microinjection into zygotes of mRNA synthesized from the ddx4 3'UTR sequence of P. mangurus. Visualization of labeled PGCs was achieved by fluorescence microscopy during embryonic development. In addition, ddx4 and dnd1 expressions were evaluated during embryonic development, larvae, and adult tissues of P. mangurus, to validate their use as a PGC marker. As a result, the effective identification of PGCs was obtained. DsRed-positive PGC of P. mangurus was observed in the hatching stage, GFP-positive PGC of A. altiparanae in the gastrula stage, and GFP-positive PGCs from P. lineatus were identified at the segmentation stage, with representative labeling percentages of 29% and 16% in A. altiparanae and P. lineatus respectively. The expression of ddx4 and dnd1 of P. mangurus confirmed the specificity of these genes in germ cells. These results point to the functionality of the P. mangurus ddx4 3'UTR sequence as a PGC marker, demonstrating that PGC labeling was more efficient in A. altiparanae and P. lineatus. The procedures used to identify PGCs in P. mangurus consolidate the first step for generating germinal chimeras as a conservation action of P. mangurus.

The versatility of Morus (Mulberry) fruit is growing among various suppliers and users globally. This study assessed the comparative variability in terms of total sugar, acidity, minerals, phenolic and anthocyanin contents and antioxidant dynamics of three black mulberry (M. serrata, M. nigra and M. macroura black) and two white mulberry cultivars (M. alba and M. macroura white) during various fruit development stages. Over all, M. alba (white cultivar) displayed maximum increase in sugar (0.10 to 1.35%) with maximum sugar recorded at fruit developmental stage 3 (FDS-3) followed by M. serrata (black cultivar) at FDS-5 (1.1%) and M. macroura white (white cultivar) at FDS-4 (0.9%). Decrease in acidity in M. alba from 0.8% at FDS-1 to 0.09% at FDS-4, M. nigra from 0.8% at FDS-1 to 0.03% at FDS-7 and M. macroura white from 0.6% at FDS-2 to 0.04% at FDS-4 were observed. TPC was maximum (590 GAE/100g) in M. nigra at FDS-6 and M. serrata (450 GAE/100g) at FDS-7 while white mulberry showed minimum TPC of < 200 GAE/100g during development stages. Two black cultivars (M. serrata and M. nigra) showed significant increase in total anthocyanin contents (14.57 to 100.06 and 14.13 to 201.87) from FDS-1 to FDS-7, whereas M. alba showed little increase (6.51 to 6.90). However, a decrease in anthocyanin contents (CGE/100 g FW) was observed in both M. macroura black and M. macroura white (17.07 to 11.79 and 9.03 to 2.68) from FDS-1 to FDS-7. The DPPH inhibition of black mulberry cultivars was pointedly greater with elevated levels of Fe, Cu, Zn, Ca, Mg, Na, P and K as compared to the white cultivars during maturity. HPLC and MS procedures verified total six anthocyanins such as cyanidin, mono glucosides of malvidin, cyanidin rutinoside, delphinidin and pelargonidin in all mulberry cultivars that may be potential phyto-therapeutic agents for the prevention of diabetes and other metabolic syndromes. Conclusively, mulberry could be of great significance for people anticipated to take mulberry as adjuvant therapy against health related complications concerning reactive oxygen species and to overcome heavy metal toxicity.
A Study of Flare Emission in DV Psc using TESS
Authors: Lahiri Deblina , Gaddam Mamatha Rani , Kandulapati Sriram
Published: July 2023

We report the detection of two superflares along with other eight relatively moderate flares in a close binary RS CVn system DV Psc using TESS data. The flare energies were found to be in the range 0.24-23.97 × 1034 erg with a duration of a few minutes to close to an hour. Most of the flares were not observed in the primary and secondary minima phases. The two superflares occurred at a phase of 0.1 and 0.55 and the stellar spot with a magnetic field B=500-2000 G can explain the energetics. Since the period of the binary is increasing, we estimated the energy due to mass transfer and noted that accretion energy may provide energy for the flares. Based on the sample of flaring late-type star data, we noted that flares in DV Psc possibly may arrive from either of the stellar components as the correlation between Log E vs Log R does agree well with theoretical relation (E∝ R3). Based on the values of the rotation period for both stellar components, we conclude that DV PSc displays low flaring frequency for a fast rotator. The loop lengths were estimated at 3.65-4.55 × 1010 cm for superflare events which were ～ three times less than the separation (1.40 × 1011 cm) but if both loops occur at a similar time, the loops may interact and can trigger the observed superflares. We conclude that a large stellar spot or interconnecting magnetic field of lines among binary companions may trigger the superflares.

Apart from advanced maternal age, teenage pregnancy has been linked to placental abruption in the Syrian general population. With the mean maternal age undergoing a shift in recent times in Syria, it is essential for obstetric healthcare providers to offer accurate counseling to young women, incorporating the latest evidence.
SDR Implementation of Spectrum Sensing using Deep Learning
Authors: Sabrina Zeghdoud , Djamel Teguig , Camel Tanougast , Ammar Mesloub , Said Sadoudi , Okba Nesraoui
Published: July 2023

Background & Objective:

Software Defined Radio (SDR) is a technology that offers a high
level of reconfigurability to address the issue of spectrum sparsity in wireless communication systems.
This technology is widely used in Cognitive radio (CR), and researchers aim to develop new spectrum
sensing methods that ensure a high signal detection performance and a low signal-to-noise ratio
(SNR). In this context, deep learning (DL) based models can be an appropriate solution for building
spectrum detection methods.

Methods:

This paper proposes a spectrum sensing architecture combining a convolutional neural network
and long short-term memory (CNN-LSTM). This architecture takes advantage of the spatial
modelling of CNN and the temporal modelling of LSTM to produce more separable features for detection.
The paper aims to propose an SDR implementation of the CNN-LSTM model for real-time detection
by using the Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) board and GNU radio platform.

Results and Discussion:

Numerical Simulation results reveal that the proposed CNN-LSTM outperforms
the CNN, the LSTM, and the energy detector (ED) in terms of higher detection probability Pd
and lower false alarm probability Pfa, even at low SNR. The SDR implementation results show the robustness
of the CNN-LSTM method under several real-time detection scenarios: FM, GSM, and
OFDM.

Conclusion:

The CNN-LSTM model used for spectrum sensing provides a high detection performance
in a low SNR environment compared to LSTM, CNN, and the ED detector.

There are many constraints faced by smallholder plantations to implement ISPO certification. Because of that, it is important to study the level of application of the ISPO criteria and, the factors that influence the implementation of ISPO in Kumai District, Central Kalimantan. The study used non-probability sampling with a total of 100 respondents. This research used descriptive analysis and the Gutman scale to determine the application of ISPO criteria, multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine the factors that influence the application of ISPO. The results of the analysis showed that (1) On average, smallholders implement 80% of ISPO criteria, and (2) ISPO criteria implemented by smallholders were influenced by the length of farming experience, education level, and the number of household’s members.

Authors: Zhang Yipin , Yang Yi-Chun
Published: July 2023

We explored how the attributes of green animation advertising influence green trust and green customer citizenship behavior by conducting a survey with people who had previously seen Guangdong Weinuoguan Food's animation advertisement in China. There were 568 effective samples gathered
for analysis. The results showed that green animation advertising influenced green trust through reliability, attractiveness, and informativity, and also exerted a positive effect on the relationship between green trust and green customer citizenship behavior. Moreover, green trust mediated
the link between green animation advertising and green customer citizenship behavior. This enhances understanding of the role of green animation advertising in the formation of consumers' attitudes and behaviors. Sellers should focus on the elements of reliability, attractiveness, and informativity
when applying green animation advertising.

Authors: Gojayev Elnur , Mahmudov Nuran , Atanasov Atanas , Dimitrov Miroslav , Gagamova Veselina
Published: July 2023

This paper examines aspects of the coordination and cooperation of local actors in Security Force Assistance (SFA) missions, and in particular in Non-Article 5 Crisis Response Operations (NA5CRO). The process of building relationships with local actors and coordinating efforts with them to achieve mission success is discussed as well. This process is based on the understanding that local actors have critical knowledge of the operational environment and can provide valuable insights that enhance mission effectiveness. The need to understand the operational environment and build effective relationships with local security forces as well as other stakeholders is also addressed. The article explains how coordination and cooperation with local actors are essential to achieving mission success and can improve the effectiveness of the SFA in their participation in crisis response operations. In summary, the paper emphasizes the critical importance of coordination and cooperation with local actors in SFA missions and into Humanitarian Assistance Operations that are part of NA5CRO. This approach can enhance the effectiveness of the mission, increase situational awareness, and reduce the risk of mission failure. It requires a commitment to building effective relationships with local security forces and other stakeholders, joint coordination among all actors involved in the mission, and cultural sensitivity and awareness in the event of a crisis.

Authors: Dregan Cătălin Valentin , Moraru Roland Iosif , Bābuț Gabriel Bujor , Burdea Monica Crinela
Published: July 2023

This paper aims to describe the context and some theoretical approaches needed to analyze and justify the need to implement an occupational safety and health management system (OSHMS) in the National Defense System (NDS). The specialized literature includes a very small number of articles and no concrete approaches regarding OSHM in the field of national defense can be identified. As a result, a brief analysis of the main aspects that can be the subject of much more in-depth studies regarding the specific issue in this field was considered appropriate. The first part of this article includes a description of the specific context of NDS, whose objectives are constantly adapted to the dynamics of economic, geo-political and security factors that are constantly changing. Next, the most eloquent theoretical approaches related to OSHMS and risk management that could be adapted to NDS are mentioned. The final part of this paper is intended to be a proposed structural architecture of OSHMS in NDS. The form proposed by the group of authors is based on a detailed analysis of the literature in the field of OSH corroborated with the experiences acquired throughout the academic and in the military field of the members of the drafting group.
Human Resource - Resource, Capital and Vector of Progress of Post-Modern Organisations
Authors: Rizescu Alexandru-Marius , Bucăța George
Published: July 2023

In writing this article, we have attempted to focus on the study of the resources of postmodern organizations, particularly as they relate to human resource management and knowledge-based management. In post-modern organizations, human resources are considered not only a resource but also a capital and vector of progress. This means that human resources are not just a means to an end, but rather they are an asset that can be invested in and developed to enhance the organization's success and growth. The article addresses the unique challenges and opportunities of postmodern organizations characterized by rapidly changing technologies, increasing globalization, and changing social and cultural norms. One of the key points discussed in the article is the need for postmodern organizations to develop and implement effective human resource management strategies. This includes focusing on attracting and retaining top talent, providing opportunities for training and continuous development, and fostering a culture of innovation and creativity. The article also highlights the importance of knowledge-based management, which involves using technology and data to make strategic decisions and improve organizational performance. The article highlights the Army's efforts to modernize its human resource management, including initiatives to recruit and retain the best talent, provide opportunities for training and continuous development, and foster a culture of innovation and creativity.
Tracking Economic Growth: A Correlation Analyse on the Determinants of Gross Domestic Product
Authors: Bătuşaru Cristina Maria , Baboş Alina , Pîrvuţ Valentin
Published: July 2023

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the most important measure of economic activity in a country. It represents the total value of all goods and services produced in a particular country in a given period. GDP can be calculated using three methods, namely, the production approach, the income approach, and the expenditure approach. In this paper, we will focus on the Expenditure Method. The Expenditure Method of calculating GDP involves adding up the total value of all final goods and services purchased by the four groups of spending agents: households, firms, government, and foreign buyers. The purpose of this paper is to discuss how the components of GDP using the Expenditure Method influence GDP. Specifically, we will explore the relationship between each component of GDP and GDP as a whole, considering also the impact that inflation has on the real growth of the economic activity, and which is the real trend of this macroeconomic result indicator.
International Corporate Governance: Post-Covid-19 Prospects for “The 21st Century Revolution” and “The Global Compromise”
Authors: Naydenov Nikolay Trifonov
Published: July 2023

The paper speculates on possible post-COVID developments in two prospects for evolution of international corporate governance. The first, labelled “the 21st century revolution in ownership” would acknowledge the supremacy of a successful national model of corporate governance based on an emerging allegedly new type of ownership, which might be introduced worldwide. The second option, named “the global compromise” implies combining “good practice” elements from different national models into a commonly accepted global model. The economic impact of the recent crisis might accelerate trends that were present already in the pre-COVID-19 period. Rapid digitalization of society would help increase transparency in corporate governance and contribute to higher shareholder participation. The need for resilience would encourage corporate governance reforms leading to convergence to a more stakeholder-oriented model. However, differences among national models are likely to persist, so neither of the two options will be fully realized in the immediate aftermath of the crisis.
Juridical Approach to Defense Planning from the Perspective of the Relations Between State Executive Authorities
Authors: Stoian Alexandru
Published: July 2023

The existence of the national defense system is supported by the structural elements of the state, which from the perspective of ensuring the public defense service of the state are given distinct properties and attributions, whose configuration is the result of the action of a set of factors, both internal and external nature. In the contemporary paradigm, in which national defense is carried out interdependently with collective defense, the state’s participation in alliance systems and forms of international cooperation determine substantial transformations in the field of defense, including in the field of defense planning. Defense planning, as regulated by Law no. 203/2015 involves carrying out a set of activities and measures aimed at protecting and promoting national interests, as well as achieving the state’s national security objectives, under the direct coordination of representative public authorities that mediate at the central level the exercise of the will of the people in order to achieve democratic control defense civilian. From an executive perspective, the defense planning process does not only involve a simple exercise of the legal powers assigned to the authorities of the central public administration, but is a consequence of how to ensure balance in the interrelationship between these authorities.
Current Fundamental Competences - The Specifics of the Teaching Profession
Authors: Mara Elena-Lucia , Morar Lucia-Larissa
Published: July 2023

The design, implementation and evaluation of the initial and continuous training programs for teaching staff are based on the competence approach model, as a way of defining and recognizing training results. Competences are defined as integrative sets of knowledge, skills, motivations and attitudes that mediate professional behaviour and guarantee expert action in specific fields and contexts of activity for the teaching profession. The main fields in which the competences corresponding to the teaching profession are defined and according to which the continuous training programs are designed, realized and evaluated, are: the specialty field, corresponding to the educational disciplines and the teaching position held by the teaching staff; the field of pedagogy and educational psychology; the field of didactics/specialized didactics; the field of educational management and school legislation; the field of information and communication techniques applied in teaching and learning processes, in institutional management and data management. The competence system on which this methodology is based takes over and adapts to the specifics of the teaching profession and to the requirements of Romanian pre-university education the categories and levels of competence with which the European Qualifications Framework and the National Qualifications Framework in higher education operate. The system operates with two fundamental categories of competences: professional competences: cognitive competences; functional-action skills; and transversal skills: role skills; to which the intercultural and interrelationship competence is added, the competence meant to ensure well-being and the competence to support the environment, according to what is stated by the OECD in the PISA Global Competence Framework, The European Sustainability Competence Framework, The Council of Europe Reference Framework of Competences for Democratic Cultures. The pedagogic practice internship involves a set of activities of observation, analysis and support of lessons, all under the guidance of a pedagogic practice mentor. The research method used was the survey, the questionnaire instrument being used in order to interview the students of the “Lucian Blaga” University of Sibiu, Faculty of Letters and Arts and Faculty of Social and Human Sciences.
