The purpose of this paper is to present a decision support system supplier selection of food industry raw materials especially cake and bakery, by using new technology that is famous for its robustness that is Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The importance of this research is to find a new varian of the AHP application, therefore increase scientific literature related the method especially for cake and bakery industrial. Furthemore, to provide a reference of selecting raw materials supplier methods in the industry. The model starts by identifying the main criteria (quality, price, delivery, and service) using the main criteria ranking based on the opinions of experts using AHP. The second stage is identifying the sub criteria (materials supplied halal and equipped with halal certificates, sample tests and physical observations, price of goods, maximum and continuous capacity and supply capacity, discount price levels and certain purchases, the existence of supplier offices and cooperation and reference commitments) and their ranking based on the main criteria. The results of this study indicate that the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method can produce a decision support system that the right results according to field data at Virgin Cake and Bakery. The results of this study indicate that overall the best supplier to be chosen by the company to be use as a long-term co-worker is supplier A because overall this supplier has the highest value compared to the other three suppliers.

SIMDA (Regional Management Information System) is a system created by the BPKP (Financial and Development Supervisory Agency) to assist local governments in implementing regional financial management so that it complies with applicable, efficient, effective, transparent, accountable and auditable regulations. Management data is stored in the SIMDA database on a server connected to a computer network, it is possible that the database is always infiltrated and indicated by data manipulation by hackers. The purpose of this study is to monitor database activity and detect data manipulation done by hackers, then forensic processes are carried out using static forensic methods with stages, namely data collection, data checking, data analysis, and reporting so as to provide evidence and instructions to do analysis on the SIMDA Planning database. The results obtained using static forensic methods show that there has been manipulation or change in the budget ceiling of the activity that exceeds the program budget ceiling (mark-up in budget planning) carried out by hackers who enter through the SIMDA database. Output from forensic processes can prove manipulation data that is carried out by hackers can be detected using SQL Profiler and SQL Log Analyzer tools so that output can be used as digital evidence to assist law enforcement in revealing cybercrime crime cases and can be accounted for in court proceedings.

Published: July 2019

Objective: Placenta previa may cause massive hemorrhage at antenatal, intrapartum or postpartum periods and is one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality. Anterior or posterior location of placenta previa can change cesarean technique and management of the operation. Aim of this study is to assess factors increasing intraoperative complications in patients with placenta previa and investigate the significance of anterior placenta location apart from other factors.Study Design: This is a retrospective cohort study which was conducted in one center including 83 patients followed with placenta previa in three years’ duration. Placental location, presence, and depth of myometrial invasion, previous uterine surgery and the type of uterine incision were evaluated. Intraoperative hemorrhage, need for blood transfusion and hysterectomy, complete blood count parameters of mother and newborn were compared between the anterior and posterior placenta previa.Results: Previous uterine surgery, abnormally invasive placenta and need for blood transfusion were significantly higher in patients with anterior placenta previa. The increasing number of previous cesarean operations enhanced placental invasion to cesarean scar area in anterior placentation, leading to higher rates of blood transfusion, classical incision, and hysterectomy. Also, when the patients with previous cesarean or classical incision were excluded, anterior placentation differed significantly when compared with posterior placentation with respect to hemoglobin differences between preoperative and postoperative values.Conclusion: Anterior location of placenta previa increases hemorrhagic complications. Placental location, presence, and depth of invasion should be assessed and timing of delivery should be planned with appropriate preparation of blood products before delivery.

This study presents a baseline assessment of carbon emissions in water utilities in Madaba, Jordan. The Energy Performance and Carbon Emissions Assessment and Monitoring Tool (ECAM) is applied in the present study in order to reduce indirect and direct emissions. Input data for the assessment included inter alia, population, water volumes, energy consumption, and type of wastewater treatment. The methodology focuses on the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy use that is directly associated with the utility operations covering the whole water cycle. The ECAM's Quick Assessment revealed that 89.7% of the energy is consumed in abstraction and distribution systems of water supply, whereas wastewater collection, treatment, and discharge consumed only 10.3% in Madaba. The detailed ECAM tool assessment results showed that total GHG emissions from the entire water and wastewater system in Madaba are approximately 28.122 million kg CO2/year. The water supply is the major contributor to GHG accounting for 62.4%, while 37.6% of GHG emissions result from sewage treatment, and are associated with treatment process requirements considered in this work, in addition to sludge transport from septic tanks to the wastewater treatment plant. The findings of this work can help the utility to undertake energy efficiency and GHG reduction measures.

Este artigo tem como objetivo geral analisar as ações do Plano Nacional de Turismo (PNT) 2013/2016 voltadas para a Copa do Mundo na cidade de Natal/RN, norteado pelos seguintes objetivos específicos: a) Identificar as políticas públicas adotadas no Brasil que norteiam o planejamento e execução dos megaeventos (Copa do Mundo) que ocorreu no país em 2014; b) Discutir o desenvolvimento do turismo a partir de estudos de caso de países sedes no mundo e c) Verificar as ações pontuais da Secretaria Municipal de Turismo de Natal que foramvoltadas para a Copa do Mundo. A metodologia utilizada neste estudo foi a pesquisa bibliográfica em livros, artigos científicos, e análise documental nos dados referentes à Copa do Mundo e PNT 2013/2016 disponíveis no site do Ministério do Turismo (MTur), bem como realização de entrevista. Dentre os resultados deste estudo destaca-se que os megaeventos podem trazer relevantes contribuições para as cidades onde são realizados, mas que é necessário atentar-se para a infraestrutura primordial para sua efetivação, deste modo, percebeu-se que algumas das obras de mobilidade para a Copa do Mundo de 2014 não foram concretizadas a tempo de realização do evento em Natal/RN, bem como a falta de aplicabilidade do PNT 2013/2016 e suas consequências na atividade turística.
Small Regulatory Molecules Acting Big in Cancer: Potential Role of Mito-miRs in Cancer
Authors: Sharma Praveen , Bharat  , Dogra Nilambra , Singh Sandeep
Published: July 2019

MicroRNAs [miRNAs] are short, non-coding, single stranded RNA molecules
regulating gene expression of their targets at the posttranscriptional level by either
degrading mRNA or by inhibiting translation. Previously, miRNAs have been reported to
be present inside the mitochondria and these miRNAs have been termed as mito-miRs.
Origin of these mito-miRs may either be from mitochondrial genome or import from
nucleus. The second class of mito-miRs makes it important to unravel the involvement of
miRNAs in crosstalk between nucleus and mitochondria. Since miRNAs are involved in
various physiological processes, their deregulation is often associated with disease
progression, including cancer. The current review focuses on the involvement of
miRNAs in different mitochondrial mediated processes. It also highlights the importance
of exploring the interaction of miRNAs with mitochondrial genome, which may lead to the
development of small regulatory RNA based therapeutic options.
The Anthelmintic Effect on Strongyloides venezuelensis Induced by BnSP- 6, a Lys49-phospholipase A2 Homologue from Bothrops pauloensis Venom

Published: July 2019

Background:

Phospholipases A2 (PLA2) from snake venoms have a broad potential as pharmacological tools on medicine. In this context, strongyloidiasis is a neglected parasitic disease caused by helminths of the genus Strongyloides. Currently, ivermectin is the drug of choice for treatment, however, besides its notable toxicity, therapeutic failures and cases of drug resistance have been reported. BnSP-6, from Bothorps pauloensis snake venom, is a PLA2 with depth biochemical characterization, reporting effects against tumor cells and bacteria.

Objective:

The aim of this study is to demonstrate for the first time the action of the PLA2 on Strongyloides venezuelensis.

Methods:

After 72 hours of treatment with BnSP-6 mortality of the infective larvae was assessed by motility assay. Cell and parasite viability was evaluated by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Furthermore, autophagic vacuoles were labeled with Monodansylcadaverine (MDC) and nuclei of apoptotic cells were labeled with Propidium Iodide (PI). Tissue degeneration of the parasite was highlighted by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM).

Results:

The mortality index demonstrated that BnSP-6 abolishes the motility of the parasite. In addition, the MTT assay attested the cytotoxicity of BnSP-6 at lower concentrations when compared with ivermectin, while autophagic and apoptosis processes were confirmed. Moreover, the anthelmintic effect was demonstrated by tissue degeneration observed by TEM. Furthermore, we report that BnSP-6 showed low cytotoxicity on human intestinal cells (Caco-2).

Conclusion:

Altogether, our results shed light on the potential of BNSP-6 as an anthelmintic agent, which can lead to further investigations as a tool for pharmaceutical discoveries.
Trial of Available Energy Evaluation of Highly Cross-linked Starch and Modified Cellulose Based on Breath H2 Excretion
Authors: Nakamura Sadako , Tanabe Kenichi , Yamate Misa , Osada Sanae , Oku Tsuneyuki
Published: July 2019

Background:

The energy value of a substance is essential in nutritional labeling. However,
the available energy of newly developed highly cross-linked phosphate starch (HCPS-N) and
modified cellulose (MC) are unknown.

Objective:

To evaluate the available energy of HCPS-N and MC, an indirect and simple method
which was applied as an indicator of the fermentability based on the breath hydrogen excretion, was
used.

Methods:

HCPS-N was made from tapioca starch by polymerization in the presence of 0.5% phosphoric
acid. MC was made from microcrystalline cellulose, maltodextrin, and karaya gum to attain a
highly stable suspension. The present study was carried out using a within-subject, repeatedmeasures
design. Blood was collected at 30 min intervals for 3 h after the ingestion of 30 g of a test
substance. The end-respiratory gas was collected for 14 h after ingestion of 5 g of a test substance to
evaluate the available energy.

Results and Discussion:

Plasma glucose and insulin levels did not elevate after the ingestion of
HCPS-N, although they increased significantly after glucose ingestion. In the experiments to evaluate
the available energy, breath hydrogen excretion after ingesting HCPS-N did not increase distinctly
during the experiment. Breath hydrogen excretion after preceding HCPS-P (0 kcal) ingestion was also
markedly smaller compared with the peak value at 4 h after FOS ingestion. For the ingestion of
MC, breath hydrogen excretion increased scarcely, and the basal level remained until the end of the
experiment.

Conclusion:

The available energies were evaluated to be 0 kcal/g for HCPS-N and 1 kcal/g for MC
in healthy humans.
Trends in Bariatric Surgery Procedures among Patients with ESKD in the United States
Authors: Sheetz Kyle H. , Woodside Kenneth J. , Shahinian Vahakn B. , Dimick Justin B. , Montgomery John R. , Waits Seth A.
Published: July 2019

Background and objectives

Despite the potential for improving health status or increasing access to transplantation, national practice patterns for bariatric surgery in obese patients with ESKD are poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to describe current trends in surgical care for this population.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

Using 100% Medicare data, we identified all beneficiaries undergoing bariatric surgery in the United States between 2006 and 2016. We evaluated longitudinal practice patterns using linear regression models. We also estimated risk-adjusted complications, readmissions, and length of stay using Poisson regression for patients with and without ESKD.

Results

The number of patients with ESKD undergoing bariatric surgery increased ninefold between 2006 and 2016. The proportional use of sleeve gastrectomy increased from <1% in 2006 to 84% in 2016. For sleeve gastrectomy, complication rates were similar between patients with and without ESKD (3.4% versus 3.6%, respectively; difference, −0.3%; 95% confidence interval, −1.3% to 0.1%; P=0.57). However, patients with ESKD had more readmissions (8.6% versus 5.4%, respectively; difference, 3.2%; 95% confidence interval, 1.9% to 4.6%; P<0.001) and slightly longer hospitals stays (2.2 versus 1.9 days, respectively; difference, 0.3; 95% confidence interval, 0.1 to 0.4; P<0.001).

Conclusions

This study suggests that laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy has replaced Roux-en-Y gastric bypass as the most common bariatric surgical procedure in patients with ESKD. The data also demonstrate a favorable complication profile in patients with sleeve gastrectomy.
A different path to [f]: labiodentalization in Faifi Arabic
Authors: Davis Stuart , Alfaifi Abdullah
Published: July 2019

This paper documents historical labiodentalization to [f] in one subvariety of Faifi Arabic (FA), which has not been previously detailed. In this subvariety, spoken in southwestern Saudi Arabia, the sound cognate with the Classical Arabic voiced emphatic (i.e. pharyngealized) dental stop *dˤ (typically realized as [ðˤ] in many Saudi varieties) has the voiceless labiodental reflex [f], but only in root-initial position. Crucial to the understanding of this labiodentalization is that in areas adjacent to where FA is spoken, the pronunciation of historic /dˤ/ is a voiced emphatic lateral fricative [ɮˤ]. We posit that in older FA, *dˤ was pronounced as [ɮˤ]. A general dialect-specific root-initial devoicing (and depharyngealization) process then transformed [ɮˤ] to voiceless [ɬ], which was subsequently perceived as [f] by FA speakers due to perceptual similarity. This misperception of voiceless [ɬ] as [f] is made plausible by the fact that a voiceless lateral fricative was not part of the FA phoneme inventory, and, because of depharyngealization, it was susceptible to being reanalyzed as an allophone of a phoneme that was not pharyngealized. Referencing Honeybone (2016), we maintain that FA labiodentalization instantiates an endogenous (i.e. internally-motivated) regular (i.e. non-sporadic) sound change specific to root-initial position resulting from misperception.

Se presenta aquí un estudio exploratorio de las emociones como constructos humanos que, estudiados desde una perspectiva social, guían y motivan conductas e interacciones humanas, con la posibilidad de producir efectos prosociales. Se explora paralelamente la potencialidad del diseño desarrollado desde la perspectiva emocional con acento social, en tanbto que medio con la capacidad de materializar dicha guía y motivación. A partir de ello, se exponen las bases teóricas que señalan la importancia y utilidad de las emociones en un sentido social; se identifican emociones específicas que pueden tener efectos prosociales y, de manera inicial, se proponen modos de desarrollar diseño desde la perspectiva emocional con acento social, con el fin de conducir a interacciones y comportamientos en beneficio de la sociedad.

Finalmente, se señala la dimensión emocional como un camino más humano y sensible para modificar comportamientos, frente a otro tipo de estrategias definidas ya desde el diseño con el mismo fin.
SOCIAL INTERACTIONS AND INFORMATION DYNAMICS IN SELF-EMPLOYMENT IN MEXICO CITY
Authors: Valdivia López Marcos
Published: July 2019

Este ensayo propone que las actividades de autoempleo en la ciudad de México están sujetas a efectos de contagio social. Esto significa que la decisión de entrada o salida al autoempleo de un agente está también determinada por el comportamiento de los otros agentes que enfrentan el mismo problema de decisión. En particular, la proximidad física es un componente significativo para entender cómo las interacciones sociales influyen en las actividades de autoempleo en la ciudad de México. Este trabajo propone un modelo computacional de interacción social para entender la dinámica de autoempleo así como una estrategia de implementación empírica del modelo.
La tasa de inflación en México, 2000-2007
Authors: Díaz Carreño Miguel Ángel , Vergara González Reyna
Published: July 2019

Desde principios de la década de los ochenta, la política económica del país se ha enfocado en la reducción de los altos niveles inflacionarios aun a costa de un menor crecimiento económico, con los efectos negativos sobre el empleo que esto implica. Entre otras razones, se argumenta que en períodos de alta inflación la capacidad adquisitiva del ingreso de la población se reduce, la tasa de interés se incrementa, la competitividad del país en los mercados internacionales desciende y que los precios relativos dejan de cumplir su función esencial de contribuir a una asignación eficiente de los recursos productivos. En México, la transformación del proceso inflacionario durante los últimos treinta años, según Ramos y Torres (2006), brinda la oportunidad de comparar las características estructurales de una economía que ha experimentado una alta inflación en el pasado pero que ha tenido éxito en reducirla a niveles bajos y estables. El deterioro de las finanzas públicas, originado por políticas expansivas que dominaron el escenario en los años ochenta, generó altos y persistentes  déficit que culminaron en una crisis de deuda y un nivel de inflación excesivo.
Apertura comercial, balanza comercial e inversión extranjera directa en México, 1980-2006
Authors: Rodríguez Arana Alejandro
Published: July 2019

Durante más de veinticinco años México ha experimentado una apertura comercial de gran magnitud. En 1980 el índice de comercio exterior como porcentaje del producto interno bruto (PIB) era apenas superior a 15%. En 2006 rebasó el 50%. El volumen de exportaciones de bienes no petroleros y servicios no factoriales ha crecido a un promedio de 8.8% en los últimos 27 años, mientras que el PIB creció en promedio tan sólo 2.4% en el mismo período. El crecimiento del volumen de importaciones ha sido de alrededor de 5.5 por ciento. Si bien las exportacioneshan crecido de manera muy considerable, la balanza comercial no muestra una mejoría significativa a través del tiempo.
The backward bending Phillips curves: competing micro-foundations and the role of conflict
Authors: Palley Thomas I.
Published: July 2019

The Phillips curve is a critical part of macroeconomics, yet the theoretical foundations of this important relation remain poorly understood. The current paper excavates the micro-foundations of Phillips curve theory, focusing on the competing theoretical explanations of the Phillips curve that adopt a demand-pull perspective. The paper develops a taxonomy of the different theoretical approaches to the Phillips curve, and then presents a simple model of the backward bending Phillips curve that incorporates elements of wage conflict. The model therefore joins together the logic of both the conflict and demand-pull approaches to the Phillips curve, which in the past have been kept separate.
OVERACCUMULATION OF PRODUCTIVE CAPITAL OR OF FINANCE CAPITAL? A VIEW FROM THE OUTSKIRTS OF A MARXIST DEBATE
Authors: Skarstein Rune
Published: July 2019

The starting point of this paper is a discussion of an apparently neglected aspect of Marx’s theory of surplus value and profit suggesting that finance capital can temporarily be decoupled from the productive sector in its hunting for profits. Then follows a discussion of the basis in the real economy for profit seeking and accumulation of finance capital in the last three decades, viz. the dominance of shareholder value, low wage policy combined with mortgage (re-)financing particularly in the US, the turn to fully funded pensions, and the rising foreign deficits and debt of the US. The paper next discusses new means of financial profit seeking, viz. credit derivatives, hedge funds, private equity funds and the increasing use of leverage within the financial sector. In the final section, it is argued that the present crisis is essentially a crisis of overaccumulation of finance capital which has turned into a general economic crisis characterised by increasingly deficient demand. The paper concludes that what is at stake is not only regulations, but the entire accumulation model of financialised capitalism.
Modelo para la evaluación dinámica de la gestión de residuos ordinarios de la ciudad de Bogotá y su influencia en el índice de calidad ambiental urbana
Authors: Rodríguez Andrade Jennifer , Ibarra Vega Danny
Published: July 2019

El objetivo de este artículo fue elaborar un modelo para la evaluación dinámica de la gestión de residuos ordinarios de Bogotá y evaluar su influencia en los indicadores de residuos aprovechados y residuos dispuestos adecuadamente, pertenecientes al Índice de Calidad Ambiental Urbana. Para la construcción del modelo, se utilizó la metodología de Dinámica de Sistemas, la cual permitió la evaluación de distintos escenarios de gestión. Se propusieron cuatro escenarios de comportamiento: el primero representaba aumento en la separación en la fuente; el segundo, aumento de aprovechamiento a un 20%; el tercero reunía los dos anteriores; y, finalmente, el cuarto, buscaba incentivar la separación en la fuente y llevar el aprovechamiento a un 50%. Teniendo en cuenta las simulaciones del modelo, se evidencia que es urgente crear estrategias de educación a la población generadora de residuos, para incentivar la separación en la fuente; además, es importante impulsar el aprovechamiento, para que, de forma conjunta, se impacte la vida útil del relleno sanitario y se mejoren los resultados de los indicadores analizados.

Carapace shape variation of genetically divergent populations of Testudo hermanni boettgeri (Reptilia: Testudines)
Authors: Djurakic Marko , Milankov Vesna
Published: July 2019

The published cytb mtDNA sequences from a previous phylogeographic study of Testudo hermanni and de novo genetic and phenotypic data of samples from the Pcinja River Valley (Serbia, Central Balkans) and Trebinje (Bosnia and Herzegovina) were used to: (i) genetically characterize samples from Pcinja, a region of great importance from the conservation standpoint due to its taxonomic diversity and biogeographical history, and Trebinje, a type locality of a disputed taxon ?Testudo hercegoviensis? Werner, 1899; (ii) to study the link between gene genealogy and geographic distribution by implementing spatial genetic analyses, and (iii) to assess whether the distribution of carapace shape variation is in accordance with genetic clusters. The samples from Pcinja and Trebinje possessed divergent haplotypes that corresponded to east (HI) and west (HV) genetic clusters, respectively. Geometric morphometrics was found to be a suitable method to distinguish divergent genetic clusters, arguing for the reassessment of a subspecific ranking within the currently recognized eastern Hermann?s subspecies, T. h. boettgeri.
Reason and Political Economy in Hume
Authors: Matson Erik W.
Published: July 2019

This paper examines some connections between Hume’s epistemology in his Treatise of Human Nature and his political economy. I make three claims: (1) First, I argue that it is the development of Hume’s account of the faculty of reason in Book I of the Treatise that leads him to emphasize social science—including political economy—and the humanities over more abstract modes of intellectual inquiry. (2) Second, I argue that Hume’s conception of reason has implications for his methodology in political economy. His perception of human reason leads him to deploy a method of qualified generalization that emphasizes the by-and-large nature of theoretical statements. (3) Third, when it comes to policy matters, the method of qualified generalization in theory cashes out in terms of practical maxims. I suggest that two central maxims in Hume’s political economy derive from his views of the usefulness of economic liberty and the coordinating nature of the status quo.

Published: July 2019

La gamificación y su aplicación a la educación es una tendencia cada vez más implantada en las aulas de todos los niveles educativos. Al mismo tiempo, la inclusión de todo el alumnado es una temática de relevancia en la literatura científica y que sigue siendo objeto de debate e investigación. Con este artículo se quiere poner de relieve el uso de la gamificación como un medio para fomentar la inclusión del alumnado en general, y del alumnado que presenta algún tipo de NEAE (Necesidades Específicas de Apoyo Educativo), en particular.  Reconocemos en la inclusión educativa un modelo de actuación que apuesta por ofrecer una enseñanza de calidad a todo el alumnado y que identifica en la diversidad, un valor inherente y enriquecedor. La revisión bibliográfica realizada pone de manifiesto las ventajas que supone la gamificación como herramienta facilitadora de la inclusión educativa y la necesidad de ir introduciendo esta metodología activa en las aulas, todo ello, con el fin de conseguir una mayor motivación e implicación por parte de los docentes y discentes en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje.
Training of Trainers at Operational and Strategic Levels
Authors: Angelov Grudi , Tashkov Dimitar , Enev Emil
Published: July 2019

At the beginning of the twenty-first century, understanding of transformation encompasses not only organizational and structural processes, but also processes related to the literacy of those who deal with transformation. The paper does not analyze the literal meaning of the concept of literacy as reading and writing abilities. Within the Armed Forces system, literacy can be considered from several aspects - doctrinal, managerial, methodological, psychological, pedagogical and technical. Since transformation is not an one-time act, but a permanent function of the National Security System, it is necessary to emphasize the importance of the continuity of the process of developing literacy of today’s leaders. The purpose of this paper is to present some of the arguments for the need of transformation of literacy (knowledge and skills) of the leaders of the transformation processes at the operational and tactical levels, so that they are able to skillfully apply the modern technological innovations in the preparation of the management bodies of the Armed Forces.

The Influence of the Operational Environment on the Process of Planning Military Actions
Authors: Grigoraş Constantin
Published: July 2019

The international security environment is constantly changing. Ensuring the success of the fight against the new threats can be achieved by understanding the operational environment that is becoming increasingly more complex in the context of the profound changes in the political, social and economic environment of the past decade and of the advanced technologies that create new challenges for all forces with responsibilities in the field of national defense and security, regional and global. The trends in the current operational environment, based on the analysis of the conflicts of the last decades, lead to a new approach to the development of military capabilities, the process of planning, organizing and conducting military actions, the ways of achieving victory in the new conditions imposed by the realities of the battlefield.

Published: July 2019

Paradoxically, the more educated and wealthier the society is, the greater the negative impact on the environment, because the consumption needs are higher, which leads to an increase in the pollution of the environmental factors. This leads us to the conclusion that, in order to achieve sustainable development, education of the population is not sufficient. The link between sustainable development and education is very complex, and the challenge faced by mankind is to educate the population to become a factor of change.

Authors: Iancu Dumitru , Dinicu Anca , Mănescu Gabriel
Published: July 2019

The need for efficient management of defense-related resources has become a primary objective for every nation, regardless of whether it belongs to an alliance or not. Current societal challenges generate a series of redrafts of how these resources are managed. Only a quantitative approach to defense resources is no longer a solution, but an integrated medium and long-term approach is an appropriate solution to the new security environment. The risk, as a component of military capabilities management, should be carefully analyzed, localized and treated in order not to jeopardize the effectiveness of the use of defense resources.

Crises are more often perceived as a common phenomenon which requires adequate managers’ reaction and response. Nevertheless, changes have long become an element of standard management activity to support the long-term development of modern organizations. Organizations in the information and communications technology sector (ICT) face a number of challenges: intensive innovations, high R&D expenditures, widespread ICT penetration in all areas of the economy and society, shorter product life cycle, increase of crisis phenomena, etc. The purpose of this publication is to present the results of an empirical survey on the practice of linking solutions in the field of change management and crisis management among organizations in the ICT sector in Bulgaria. Achieving this goal requires solving the following tasks: examining the essence of both change management and crisis management and the need to combine their decisions; analyzing respondents’ opinions on their understanding of the different types of changes and crises experienced by organizations in the ICT sector in their development process as well as on the management activity of managers.

Authors: Moro Nicolae , Ilie Florin
Published: July 2019

The paper addresses the first step of the 5S methodology, a widespread methodology in organizations that has as its primary focus the continuous improvement of the quality of material goods production processes or customer service delivery.

Authors: Bătuşaru Cristina Maria
Published: July 2019

The repeated postponement of the deadlines set for Romania’s accession to the Eurozone as well as the challenges facing the nominal convergence criteria raised many questions among the European community regarding the competitiveness of the Romanian economy in relation to the economies of the European countries adopting the single currency. The present paper aims to present the current state of nominal convergence our country manages to achieve and to import compliance with these criteria by exemplifying the concept of optimal monetary areas. The adoption of the single currency must be achieved in the context of sustainable convergence that guarantees the minimization of costs caused by the renunciation of national monetary policy. To achieve this goal, the present paper presents the optimal context that Romania’s shift to the single currency should take into account in order to maximize its benefits from the beginning of this irreversible process.

Published: July 2019

Under the conditions of the transition to a competitive economy, the human factor has a dominant role in the process of including the efficiency of the organization on a vibrating trajectory, hence the important significance of evaluating the performance of the personnel from the perspective of the utilization of human resources. Thus, it is fully justified to speak of the efficiency of the use of human resources as an essential component of the general concept of economic efficiency. If the efficiency of the use of human resources is sometimes reduced to the integral time of work in the specialized literature, the emphasis being placed on the quantitative side, a correction is demanded in the modern sense. The efficient use of human resources needs to keep pace with the qualitative aspect, which includes the totality of personnel operations: recruiting, selection, training, evaluation, promotion, social dialogue and motivational system.
