Country risk at investing in capital markets – the case of Italy
Authors: Chovancová Božena , Árendáš Peter , Slobodník Patrik , Vozňáková Iveta
Published: June 2019

Given the current turbulences on the European capital markets, as well as the expectations of a new recession, it is possible to expect that the risk of individual countries and their capital markets will increase significantly. This is particularly the case of those countries, which have long-term problems with economic instability and imbalances. The basis for country risk quantification is the country credit rating and credit risk of the government bonds. The market-based methods react often differently, as their reactions to the actual market developments are more flexible. The purpose of this paper is to compare various methods of country risk measurement. The study is focused on the country risk of Italy, a country that experienced a turbulent economic development over the last two decades. The results show that the CPFER method and sovereign ratings show a similar level of country risk, while the market-based methods show a higher level of country risk.
Effects of various brans on quality and volatile compounds of bread
Authors: Hussein Ahmed , Ibrahim Gamil
Published: June 2019

The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of various bran sources, including wheat, barley, and rice, on the quality and volatile compounds of Egyptian ‘balady’ bread (Fino). The protein, fat, and total carbohydrates content of the studied brans ranged from 8.49 to 14.16%, 2.16 to 8.12%, and 34.38 to 85.06%, respectively. The mi- neral composition and colour parameters of the brans were also evaluated. The substitution of wheat flour with 10%, 20%, and 30% of different brans resulted in decreased loaf volume and specific volume, and increased loaf weight. A significant decrease in colour parameters (L, a, and b) of the bread crust and crumb were observed in all the sam- ples. The addition of bran at three concentrations showed a remarkable increase in the total phenolic content of the bread samples, compared to the control. The antioxidant activity of the bread samples fortified with brans showed the following order: RB (rice bran) > BB (barley bran) > WB (wheat bran), as determined by the DPPH and β-carotene assays. Thirty-six volatile compounds identified in the bread samples using GC-MS included 5 alcohols, 6 pyrazines, 2 acids, 9 aldehydes, 5 ketones, 3 esters, and 6 sulphur-containing compounds. Alcohols were the predominant vola- tile constituents accounting for 58.3; 61.57; 59.08; and 56.15% in the control and in the bread samples prepared with bran from rice, barley, and wheat, respectively.

Published: June 2019

The disinfection of recirculating nutrient solution is essential to avoid disasters due to the dispersal of pathogens in closed soilless culture systems. This work presents the development of a new technique to perform disinfection, based on pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment. Hoagland solution inoculated with Fusarium oxysporum was selected as the specimen to verify the effectiveness of PEF treatment. The results indicate that PEF deactivated most Fusarium oxysporum in nutrient solution within a few seconds with the maximum disinfection efficiency achieved being 99.84%. The disinfection efficiency became higher with the extending of treatment time or the increase of PEF strength, while the initial microbial density was proven to play no role. Temperature rise indicates that PEF treatment played the dominant role in the process of disinfection. The energy efficiency depends mainly on treatment time and electric field intensity. The optimal operating conditions were found to be: treatment time less than 10 seconds and electric field strength around 5 kV/cm. This investigation implies that, in the future, PEF treatment has the potential to be applied to disinfect nutrient solution.

Published: June 2019

Biogas is a sustainable, renewable energy source generated from organic waste degradation during anaerobic digestion (AD). AD is applied for treating different types of wastewater, mostly containing high organic load. However, AD practice is still limited due to the low quality of the produced biogas. Upgrading biogas to natural gas quality (>90% CH4) is essential for broad applications. Here, an innovative bio-electrochemically assisted AD process was developed, combining wastewater treatment and biogas upgrading. This process was based on a microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) that produced hydrogen from wastewater at a relatively high efficiency, followed by high-rate anaerobic systems for completing biodegradation of organic matter and an in situ bio-methanation process. Results showed that CH4 production yield was substantially improved upon coupling of the MEC with the AD system. Interestingly, CH4 production yield increase was most notable once circulation between AD and MEC was applied, while current density was not markedly affected by the circulation rates. The microbial community analysis confirmed that the MEC enhanced hydrogen production, leading to the enrichment of hydrogenotrophic methanogens. Thus, directing soluble hydrogen from the MEC to AD is plausible, and has great potential for biogas upgrading, avoiding the need for direct hydrogen harvesting.
Two-stage air stripping combined with hydrolysis acidification process for coal gasification wastewater pretreatment
Authors: Chen Xiurong , Sun Xiaoli , Wang Xiaoxiao , Xu Peng , Yang Chenchen , Lu Quanling , Wang Shanshan
Published: June 2019

Coal gasification wastewater is mainly from gas washing, condensation and purification processes in the gas furnace with high NH3-N (nitrogen in water in the form of free ammonia (NH3) and ammonium ion (NH4+)), TN (total nitrogen) and refractory organics content, which will inhibit the subsequent biological treatment. The ‘air stripping – hydrolysis acidification – air stripping’ process was proposed as the pretreatment for coal gasification wastewater to improve the biodegradability and nitrogen removal, which could reduce the subsequent biological treatment load. The first-stage air stripping process before hydrolysis acidification could achieve a significant removal of NH3-N (97.0%) and volatile phenol (70.0%), reducing the corresponding toxicity on hydrolysis acidification. The group with air stripping had more abundant microbial communities and a more effective organic degradation performance in hydrolysis acidification than that without air stripping. The second-stage air stripping removed NH3-N released from hydrolysis acidification, and significantly reduced the TN concentration in effluent. The whole process achieved a TN removal from 2,000 ± 100 mg/L to 160 ± 80 mg/L, and a total phenols removal from 700 ± 50 mg/L to 80 ±20 mg/L.

Published: June 2019

Greek municipalities involved in mandatory mergers from the Kallikratis program after the end of 2010. The purpose of this study is the accounting evaluation of Greek municipalities after the implementation of the Kallikratis program in the period of the economic crisis in Greece (2011 and onwards). To examine the success of the Kallikratis program in a difficult era for Greece we examine public accounting data for several accounting measures for the Greek municipalities; also we try to reveal if any municipalities’ geographical area gained better performance under these circumstances. The results of this study showed that with the Kallikratis program, several municipalities, apart of new increased responsibilities in the post-Kallikratis period and with reduced state financial support, managed to achieve better results with increased their cash and cash equivalents, their securities and decreased their short-term debt. Last, according to the geographical area, these mandatory municipal mergers were more beneficial for some municipalities than to others, with better financial performance, limiting its obligations and improving its net position, thus providing us new insights to local development for Greece.

Published: June 2019

Syftet med denna enkät-studien är att utreda samband mellan aktivt åldrande, gemenskap och delaktighet hos åldringar som bor i seniorhus. Utöver detta syftar forskningen till att producera beskrivande information om hälsa och välmående hos åldringar i seniorhus. Målgruppen var självständigt boende i Folkhälsans seniorhus.

Största delen av respondenterna var över 80 år gamla, kvinnor, svenskspråkiga och bodde ensamma. De mest aktiva seniorerna hade bättre hälsorelaterad livskvalitet samt mindre symptom av depression, och deltog mer i verksamheten i seniorhuset och hade en högre känsla av samhörighet. Respondenternas känsla av samhörighet korrelerade positivt med psykiskt välmående, högre vitalitet och energinivå.

Enligt resultaten kan man konstatera att aktivt åldrande, gemenskap och delaktighet är i samband hos invånarna i seniorhus. Det är viktigt att sträva till att öka möjligheterna till att vara aktiv och delaktig i seniorhus, vilket även kan öka känslan av gemenskap. Seniorhus har utmärkta möjligheter att mångsidigt stöda den äldres välmående.
NEEDS ANALYSIS AND ENGLISH FOR LEGAL PURPOSES COURSE DEVELOPMENT: A CASE STUDY ON AN ELP SYLLABUS DESIGN FOR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Authors: BRETAN Bianca Doris
Published: June 2019

Needs analysis and English for Legal Purposes Course Development: A Case Study on an ELP Syllabus Design for University Students. The present paper investigates the connection between students’ learning needs as reflected in the initial needs analysis and ELP syllabus design. Initiated at the beginning of the academic year the study investigates solutions to bridge the gap between the linguistic and professional needs of students attending legal English classes and their course syllabus. A typical challenge for the students’ instructor is the fact that they have little, typically no prior experience with the profession for which they hope to qualify during their studies. The fact that compulsory language courses are often placed in the students’ first year of bachelor study programmes makes the intention to offer relevant course content even more difficult. The structure of the article is the following: first is given a scope for the study, then needs analysis is presented in relation to teaching ESP for the general public and university students; finally, the findings are interpreted in the context of changes in teaching strategies and course design. The article concludes by pointing out that taking into consideration students’ expectations and needs is strongly correlated with the quality and the relevance of the course.

Început la debutul anului universitar, studiul investighează soluţii pentru micşorarea decalajului dintre nevoile lingvistice şi profesionale ale studenţilor care participă la cursul de limbaj juridic de specialitate şi syllabusul de curs. Una din încercările la care e supus profesorul într-o asemenea situaţie este faptul că, în general, studenţii primului an au o părere foarte vagă despre cunoştinţele pe care ar trebui să le posede în limbajul de specialitate referitor la profesia pe care o vor îmbrăţişa. Structura articolului este următoarea: se prezintă scopul studiului, apoi se discută relaţia dintre analiza nevoilor de învăţare şi predarea limbajelor de specialitate publicului larg şi studenţilor; în cele din urmă sunt interpretate rezultatele în contextul schimbărilor pe care acestea le aduc în ceea ce priveşte strategia de predare şi conceperea cursului. Concluzia articolului este că luarea în considerare a dezideratelor şi nevoilor studenţilor este în strânsă legătură cu calitatea şi relevanţa cursului.

BORDERS OR BRIDGES? THE CURRENT CHALLENGES OF REVISITING THE CONCEPTS OF NATIONAL IDENTITY AND TRANSNATIONAL CULTURE
Authors: FĂTU-TUTOVEANU Andrada
Published: June 2019

Borders or Bridges? The Current Challenges of Revisiting the Concepts of National Identity and Transnational Culture. The current paper aims to revisit the concept of national identity in relation to that of border and bordering as well as with the notions of otherness and othering. The current paper thus discusses the idea of borders and isolation as opposed to that of intercultural communication and cultural dialogue. Culture is discussed as an essential environment for identity development and in the same time as a transnational phenomenon. Another dimension of the debate proposed by the paper is related to the challenges of teaching the topics of national identity, diversity and bordering within the current educational environment, characterised by the increased internationalisation of higher education. This also takes into account the author’s experience of teaching these topics to international groups of students and is supported by a survey conducted with Political Science students on the issue of the perception of otherness and internationalisation.
REZUMAT. Frontiere sau poduri? Provocări actuale în rediscutarea conceptelor de identitate naţională şi cultură transnaţională. Articolul are ca obiectiv revenirea asupra conceptului de identitate naţională şi abordarea sa în relaţie cu cele de frontieră respectiv bordering (crearea de frontiere) ca fenomen, alături de cele de alteritate, respectiv othering (alterizarea). Articolul analizează ideea de frontieră şi izolare în opoziţie cu cele de comunicare interculturală şi de dialog cultural. Cultura este abordată ca mediu esenţial pentru dezvoltarea identitară şi, în acelaşi timp, ca fenomen transnaţional. O altă dimensiune propusă spre dezbatere este cea a provocărilor presupuse de actul didactic privind temele identităţii naţionale, diversităţii sau creării (gestionării) frontierelor în contextul unui mediu educaţional în care accentul pe internaţionalizarea învăţământului superior este în creştere. Acest aspect al studiului ia în considerare şi experienţa autoarei în predarea acestor teme unor grupe cu structură internaţională; în plus, include rezultatele unui chestionar care problematizează explicit percepţia studenţilor de la programul de Ştiinţe politice (UBB) despre alteritate şi internaţionalizare.

„CONTEMPLATING” JAPANESE LANGUAGE – IDIOMATIC EXPRESSIONS AS A CULTURAL EXPERIENCE OF LINGUISTIC „CREATIVITY”
Authors: FRENŢIU Rodica
Published: June 2019

Contemplating Japanese Language – Idiomatic Expressions as a Cultural Experience of Linguistic Creativity. Taking into account the semiotic nature of the language seen as a datum, and approaching linguistic creation as a fact determined by the needs of verbal communication, the present study analyzes Japanese idiomatic expressions which enable the circulation of cultural meanings. An idiomatic expression resembles the folk saying, as they both experience and highlight the conative function of language, and is a complex syntactic-semantic unit, often replaceable by one single word, which can be interpreted as a semiotic sign within a significant system of an ethnic group’s mentality. The Japanese idiomatic structure is a fixed form that belongs to the lexicalized repertory of language, resulting from syntactic linguistic phenomena which capitalize upon the possibilities of the system. The purpose of this process is to achieve expressivity, which works not just through emotional response or perceptual information, but also as encyclopedic knowledge. Both these linguistic and extralinguistic contexts call for a hermeneutic approach, in inter- and multidisciplinary terms.
REZUMAT. Contemplarea limbii japoneze – expresiile idiomatice ca experienţa culturală a creativităţii lingvistice. Acceptând natura semiotică a limbajului ca un datum şi abordând creaţia lingvistică ca un fapt determinat de necesităţile comunicării verbale, studiul de faţă îşi focalizează atenţia asupra expresiilor idiomatice ca vehiculi ai sensului cultural în limba japoneză. Nu foarte îndepărtată de proverb prin funcţia conativă pe care o experimentează şi evidenţiază, expresia idiomatică, unitate complexă sintactico-semantică, substituibilă adesea cu un cuvânt, poate fi interpretată ca semn cu un caracter semiotic dintr-un sistem semnificativ al mentalităţii unui grup etnic. Formă fixă aparţinând tezaurului lexicalizat al unei limbi, structura idiomatică japoneză, rezultat al unor fenomene lingvistice de tip sintactic ce exploatează posibilităţile sistemului în scopul expresivităţii, interpretată nu doar ca o reacţie emoţională sau informaţie perceptuală, ci şi ca o cunoaştere enciclopedică, impune, prin contextul lingvistic şi cel extra-lingvistic cu care operează, o abordare hermeneutică, pe un fundal inter- şi multidisciplinar.

GOETHE AND HIS FOLLOWERS: “WELTLITERATUR” AND ITS AFTERLIVES
Authors: EILITTÄ Leena
Published: June 2019

Goethe and his Followers: Weltliteratur and its Afterlives. Goethe´s Weltliteratur, which recalls cosmopolitan ideas of the 18th century, drew attention to literature´s multicultural role in the international exchange and networks. His ideas were developed by subsequent scholars who reflected upon the importance of translations, literatures belonging to small nations, and putting in contact local and global aspects in their discussions about literary studies. Hugo Meltzl emphasized multilingualism for development of literary studies; Georg Brandes drew attention to the importance of small literatures; and Fritz Strich proclaimed that world literature should challenge the Eurocentric notion of literary studies.
REZUMAT. Goethe și urmașii săi: Weltliteratur și metamorfozele sale. Conceptul de Weltliteratur al lui Goethe, ce reactualizează ideile cosmopolite ale secolului al XVIII-lea, a atras atenția asupra rolului multicultural al literaturii în schimburile și legăturile internaționale. Ideile sale au fost dezvoltate de foști elevi care au reflectat la importanța traducerilor, a literaturilor minore, punând în contact aspecte locale și globale în discuțiile lor despre studiile literare. Hugo Meltzl a subliniat importanța multilingvismului în dezvoltarea studiilor literare; Georg Brandes a atras atenția asupra importanței literaturilor minore; Fritz Strich a proclamat faptul că literatura mondială ar trebui să concureze noțiunea eurocentrică de studii literare.

BEYOND THE HISTORY OF A LITERARY GENRE: THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF ROMANAIN MEMORY WRITING
Authors: MIRONESCU Doris
Published: June 2019

Beyond the History of a Literary Genre: The Encyclopedia of Romanian Memory Writing. The paper presents the theoretical frame of the research project The Encyclopedia of Romanian Memory Writing, currently being developed at the “A. Philippide” Institute for Romanian Philology. This encyclopedia joins other recent projects, such as literary dictionaries, in an effort to construct an alternative approach to the (national) literary history by subverting the (legitimizing) causal narration. It will include canonical texts, memoirists, various categories of title-articles, but also a set of operative concepts that allow for a definition of memoir-writing starting from the psychological, philosophical and anthropological implications of memory. By indexing literary phenomena in an encyclopedic manner, the textual corpora of Romanian literature may be described and analyzed in a transnational, comparative and interdisciplinary manner.
REZUMAT. Dincolo de istoria unui gen literar: Enciclopedia scrierilor memorialistice românești. Această lucrare prezintă ramura teoretică a proiectului de cercetare Enciclopedia Memoriilor Românești, care în prezent este în desfășurare la Institutul de Filologie Română "A. Philippide”. Această enciclopedie se alătură altor proiecte, precum dicționare literare, într-un efort de a construi o abordare alternativă la istoria literaturii (naționale) prin subminarea (legitimării) narațiunii cauzale. Va include texte canonice, memorialiști, o varietate de titluri de articole, dar de asemenea un set de concepte operative care permit o definiție a scrierilor memorialistice începând cu implicațiile memoriei la nivel psihologic, sociologic și antropologic. Prin indexarea fenomenelor literare într-o manieră enciclopedică, corpusurile textuale ale literaturii române pot fi descrise și analizate într-un mod transnațional, comparativ și interdisciplinar.

FOLKLORE ARCHIVES – WITNESSES OF THE HISTORY OF ETHNOLOGICAL STUDIES
Authors: SAVA Eleonora
Published: June 2019

Folklore archives – witnesses of the history of ethnological studies. This study proposes a rereading of the documents kept in a folklore archive from Romania, with a focus on the methods used by those who drafted and archived these documents. The research demonstrates that, in the absence of testimonies regarding the manner in which fieldwork was conducted, the documents of the archive can provide valuable information on the field research and the vision on folklore of several generations of researchers. Thus, archives of folklore are seen as witnesses of the history of ethnology.
REZUMAT. Arhivele de folclor – martori ai istoriei disciplinelor etnologice. Studiul de față propune o relectură a documentelor păstrate într-o arhivă de folclor din România, din unghiul metodelor utilizate de cei care au redactat și au arhivat aceste documente. Cercetarea demonstrează faptul că, în lipsa unor mărturii cu privire la modul în care s-au desfășurat cercetările de teren, documentele arhivei pot oferi informații valoroase despre practica de teren și despre viziunea asupra folclorului pe care au avut-o mai multe generații de cercetători. Astfel, arhivele de folclor se constituie în martori ai istoriei etnologiei.

¿La neurociencia educacional como espacio propio de la educación es posible?
Authors: Bacigalupe María de los Angeles
Published: June 2019

En este trabajo proponemos discutir la neurociencia educacional como espacio de la educación. Mediante el análisis y discusión bibliográfica indagamos las posibilidades de la neurociencia educacional en el contexto de su origen y actualmente y avanzamos hacia los desafíos a los que se enfrenta como disciplina propia del campo de la educación o como rama de la neurociencia cognitiva. Optamos por un mirada transdisciplinaria que desde la propia educación pueda colaborar en los temas que preocupan a la educación como institución social. Proponemos una mirada que incluya tanto al nivel individual como el nivel socialmente extendido, considerando que el aprendizaje, como comportamiento humano que constituye un problema educacional, se da en interacción con el medio. Plateamos cuestiones presentes en la agenda interdisciplinaria de la neurociencia educacional y discutimos conceptos clave como neuromito, epigenética, privación psicosocial y periodo crítico. Proponemos que, concebida como espacio educacional transdisciplinario con funciones de traslación y ciencia básica, la neurociencia educacional, en diálogo con otras disciplinas, puede conducir a que la diversidad no sea un concepto teórico sino que se refleje en cada ser humano, en su potencialidad y originalidad, buscando el desarrollo pleno de las personas en relación armoniosa con su medioambiente de vida.

Published: June 2019

Nesta pesquisa realizamos uma breve análise da base teórica aperfeiçoada pelo Grupo de Pesquisa da História da Educação Matemática no Brasil (GHEMAT), fundamentada por referenciais da Equipe de Pesquisa em História das Ciências da Educação (ERHISE), Universidade de Genebra, a qual alicerça as discussões sobre os saberes pertinentes à docência e o expert em educação, com o intuito de perscrutar os saberes para ensinar matemática, que estão presentes na Metodologia do Ensino Primário, de Afro do Amaral Fontoura. Como resultado deste estudo encontramos alguns sinais da expertise de Fontoura, pois desempenhou um papel fundamental como organizador de manuais que orientaram a formação inicial de professores. E os saberes matemáticos elementares para ensinar, identificados na obra analisada, acompanham o ideário da Escola Nova, em relação aos métodos de ensino. Cada vez mais se notam as estreitas relações das Ciências da Educação, condicionando as atividades ao desenvolvimento das potencialidades dos alunos.
Clinical Aspects and Evolution under Current Treatments on Pulmonary Alveolar Phospholipoproteinosis Patients
Authors: Muntean Petru-Emil
Published: June 2019

A 34-year-old female smoker (4 packs a year), with the following symptoms: dry cough, moderate dyspnea, fatigue, night sweats and no exposure to respiratory poisoning or contact with tuberculosis. Clinical findings at admission: normal temperature, Hippocratic fingers and cyanosis, diminished bilateral breath sounds, fine bilateral rattling respiratory sounds, rhythmic cardiac noises, oxygen saturation 95%, pulse 87, blood pressure 125/80 mm Hg. Chest computed tomography describes infiltration images of intra-alveolar and intra-bronchial with matte glass pattern, confluent and stretched across all lung segments. Pulmonary biopsy: preserved pulmonary architecture, thick alveolar septs and terminal bronchioles, alveoli and macrophages loaded with lipoprotein material. Bronchial aspirate: negative BAAR, no tumor cells. Bronchoalveolar lavage: opalescent, abundant PAS + appearance. total cell numbers – 4.3 million, macrophages – 34.1%, lymphocytes – 56.9%, neutrophils – 10%, eosinophils – 0.4%, epithelial cells – 33%.The treatment option chosen for this case was total bronchoalveolar lavage for therapeutic purposes. The patient had a rapid favourable evolution and at discharge was recommended a periodic imaging and functional control.

Key Messages: Bronchoalveolar lavage is the optimal diagnostic method. Moderate/severe forms, total bronchoalveolar lavage is recommended. Systemic corticotherapy or immunosuppression is not indicated. GM-CSF administered subcutaneously or by nebulization. Rituximab/plasmapheresis are under evaluation. Pulmonary transplantation is indicated in patients who do not respond to therapeutic bronchoalveolar lavage repeated 6-12 months.
The Upper Cretaceous intrusive rocks with extensive crustal contribution in Hacımahmutuşağı Area (Aksaray/Turkey)
Authors: Köksal Serhat
Published: June 2019

The Hacımahmutuşağı area (Aksaray/Turkey) is located in the western part of the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex (CACC). Gneiss and marble compose the basement units, while intrusive rocks are gabbros and granitoids. The pegmatitic hornblende gabbros contain pegmatitic to fine-grained hornblendes, plagioclase, clinopyroxene, and accessory opaque minerals. The fine-grained gabbros, on the other hand, are composed of plagioclase, hornblende, and biotite as major components whereas the apatite and opaque minerals are present in accessory content. Granitic– granodioritic rocks are the common intrusive rock types in the area, and constitute quartz, orthoclase, plagioclase and biotite, and accessory zircon and opaque minerals. Leucogranites, comprising quartz, orthoclase, plagioclase with minor biotite, hornblende, and with accessory apatite and opaque minerals, are found as dykes intruding the marble and the granitic–granodioritic rocks. Strontium–neodymium isotope data of gabbros and granitoids have high 87Sr/86Sr(i) ratios (0.7076 to 0.7117) and low ɛNd(i) values (−5.0 to −9.8) point out enriched source and pronounced crustal contribution in their genesis. In the Hacımahmutuşağı area, it is plausible that the heat increase caused by the hot zone, which was generated by underplating mafic magma along with the hydrous mafic sills in the lower crust, might have resulted in partial melts from crystallized mafic sills and older crustal rocks. It can be suggested that these hybrid melts adiabatically rose to the shallow crust, ponded and crystallized there and formed the magma source of the intrusive rocks within the Hacımahmutuşağı area and the other hybrid granitic rocks with crustal signatures in the CACC. Geochemical data indicate that granitoids and gabbros are collision to post-collision related sub-alkaline rocks derived from an enriched source with extensive crustal inputs.

As low-input environmentally friendly agricultural practices are currently associated with the delivery of a wide range of public goods and socioeconomic benefits, the strategy of European Union in mitigating climate change effects, protecting environment and ensuring public health has, among others, focused around preserving the High Natural Value (HNV) areas. About a quarter of the land in Romania is potentially covered by HNV farming and eligible for associated support payments, mostly along the chain of the Carpathian Mountains. Since soil systematic data on HNV area are scarce, recent research developments currently undertake to build up a first national HNV soil data base.

Soil fertility state in a HNV payment eligible area of south-eastern Transylvania was studied in seven in-depth dug profiles and seven additional shallow dug profiles. Soil samples were taken by genetic horizons as well as agrochemical samples from the upper soil layers (0-20 cm). Physical, chemical, and microbiological analyses revealed that the studied soils have a medium clayey loamy texture, good fertility and are subject to an adequate HNV management in the area, as the analytical values mostly range in favorable intervals for plant growth and nutrition. Thus, soil reaction is moderately acid up to slightly alkaline in the presence of carbonates, the soil organic matter, generally well mineralized, reaches fair levels and the high and very high cation exchange capacity ensure good conditions for plants growth and nutrition whilst nitrogen and potassium supply is adequate. Phosphorus is the only element in short supply – a situation often encountered in Romania unfertilized soils. Soil bulk density and total porosity are also favorable for root growth and spreading and plant nutrition. Microorganisms’ activity is diverse and is also adequate for plant nutrition.
