The European leniency policy as a mechanism for protecting the rights and legitimate interests of bona fide entrepreneurs in the context of the provisions of the status of a candidate country for the accession of the Republic of Moldova to the European Union
Authors: Pirtac Grigore , Ursu Veaceslav
Published: April 2023

The economic development of a state is impossible without ensuring a favorable investment climate, without ensuring non-discriminatory conditions for conducting business, including by ensuring fair competition between entrepreneurs and commercial companies.The Association Agreement between the Republic of Moldova and the EU states that "The Parties recognize the importance of free and undistorted competition in their commercial relations. The parties recognize that anti-competitive business practices are likely to distort the proper functioning of markets and reduce the benefits of trade liberalization." Starting from the assumed obligations, including the requirements regarding the harmonization of national legislation, in 2012 the parliament of the Republic of Moldova elaborated and adopted the new competition law no. 183/2012, the normative act invoked being, at that stage, an absolutely innovative one, succeeding a series of previous normative acts intended to regulate relations in the field of competition. The provisions of the analyzed law establish new approaches and attitudes, including principles, procedures and mechanisms, taking over the provisions of articles 101-106 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). The law establishes the legal framework for the protection of competition, including the prevention and countering of anti-competitive practices and unfair competition, the realization of economic concentrations on the market, establishes the legal framework regarding the activity and competence of the Competition Council and the responsibility for the violation of the legislation in the field of competition. The main purpose of competition policies is to prevent companies from committing anti-competitive acts. Following this objective, most of the member states of the European Union have allocated powers to the national competition authorities/agencies in order to achieve two main objectives: ensuring the dissuasive effect of sanctions in order to prevent the commission of anti-competitive acts and taking the necessary measures in order to stop them. Our legislator took over the same positive practices adopted at the EU level and in the Competition Law regulated Leniency in art. 84. The article is dedicated to the analysis of the main provisions aimed at the leniency policy applicable in the Republic of Moldova, revealing the essence of this institution, the author also coming with some conclusions derived from the analysis of the national anti-competitive and criminal legislation.

Solutions and contemporary ideas regarding the application of psychological knowledge in the judicial process
Authors: Ostrovari Petru
Published: April 2023

Law and psychology have a lot in common. Respect for the law is the guarantee of fair justice. Understanding the role and importance of psychology in law contributes to achieving fair justice, but also educating citizens for a society of law. The purpose of this article is to identify contemporary solutions and ideas regarding the application of psychological knowledge in the judicial process that would expand the research field of forensic psychology. For this purpose, three objectives were postulated to specify the impact of judicial theory and practice on psychology, to identify the most "valid" links between law and psychology and to note the newest solutions and ideas. As a result, it is observed that the manner in which justice is carried out has a profound impact on behavior, individual and collective decisions, and, respectively, on the development of psychology as a science. Another result is that the links between law and psychology are multiple, interconnected and complex, and can and should be analyzed through scientific methods.
Digital authoritarianism and social censorship in the context of the pandemic COVID-19
Authors: Potoroaca Mihail , Rosca Tatiana
Published: April 2023

Censorship, which each of us experiences today, arose in the historical context in which the type of market economy developed characteristic of the Western world since the Renaissance. Thus, censorship may have certain normative aspects and may be accompanied by prohibitions. Such a distinction is applicable to all phenomena present in a society. An example can undoubtedly be the language norms imposed during the pandemic situation by the authorities and not only, which we all know. Therefore, from a social and cultural point of view, information censorship is primarily interested in what is at the content level of the reported facts, as being an image of the existing society and culture. The aim of the paper is to distinguish the specificity of social censorship in different countries, through the lens of censorship culture, against the background of digital authoritarianism in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Improving the capacity to adapt and social functioning of adolescent users of SMART tools
Authors: Tudor Gabriel
Published: April 2023

Adolescents, consumers and heavy users of SMART tools tend to isolate themselves, which can be a real danger to their personality, interpersonal communication and relating to others, essentially to their social adjustment. We know that digital media overlaps with education. There are hundreds of studies that prove that SMART devices distract you, and that reading on a screen is not as effective as reading on paper. There are many studies of this phenomenon. Following the analysis of scientific resources, it appears that the excessive use of SMART tools causes an imbalance between the adolescent's personal resources and his capacity for social interaction. The problem of developing an intervention program regarding the improvement of social adaptation skills in teenagers using smart tools is an urgent problem and requires an extensive study, and finding effective intervention tools is more than necessary.

Authors: Alinaghian Mahdi , Amanipour Hamed , Nazarpour Zhaleh , Hassanzadeh Alborz
Published: April 2023

In this paper, the authors proffer a novel mathematical model for the simultaneous optimization of facility location and network design in the presence of uncertainty, with the aim of minimizing operational and transportation costs. The proposed model constitutes a departure from conventional methods in its consideration of probable events in the real world and the incorporation of uncertainty assumptions into the mathematical framework. An algorithm based on simulated annealing is then advanced for the solution of the problem, and the performance of the algorithm is evaluated through comparison with exact methods for problems of modest size, as well as with a basic simulated annealing algorithm for larger problems. The results of these comparisons demonstrate the superiority of the proposed meta-heuristic algorithm. Finally, the robust approach is compared with four other approaches in the presence of uncertainty, with a thorough analysis of the results obtained from each of the methods conducted in a suite of sample problems.

Published: April 2023

В статье раскрывается особенности объектов объемно-пространственной композиции архитектурной и инженерной мысли конца XIX – начала XX в. Авторы обращают внимание на баланс – соотношение композиционной формы и содержательной части в искусственно созданном продукте в русле изучения композиции в учебной или творческой практике. Анализ данного соотношения становится важной константой оценки продукта архитектурно-инженерной мысли, что нивелирует оценивания на уровне непрофессионального и ненаучного высказывания «мне нравится – мне субъективно не нравится». Приводится пример композиционного анализа высотных структур и образцов наследия эпохи историзма. Интересующая авторов проблема рассматривалась разными учеными и исследователями, но авторы статьи рассматривают проблему с позиций анализа инженерной и архитектурной части целостного композиционного организма. Авторы пишут об универсальности законов и средств композиции, равенстве и единстве или соотношении содержательной (архитектурная

эстетика) и формальной (инженерная конструкция, материалы, композиция и т. д.) составляющих искусственно создаваемую форму.

SPEED BREEDING AND ITS IMPORTANCE FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF AGRICULTURAL CROPS
Authors: BONEA Dorina
Published: April 2023

Current environmental changes and continued global population growth represent a significant concern for food security. The slow rate at which current plant breeding programs are progressing is partly attributed to the long generation time of plants during the breeding process. One solution to overcome this obstacle is the use of Speed breeding technology that shortens the generation time to accommodate multiple generations of crops per year and accelerates crop research. The term "Speed breeding" was coined by Australian researchers in 2003 and is inspired by NASA experiments performed on a space mission. In this context, this paper summarizes some of the technological aspects, opportunities and limitations associated with Speed breeding. The integration of Speed breeding with other modern breeding technologies can further reduce the breeding cycle time and make selection for some novel traits more effective. Speed breeding is an innovative and promising breeding technology to ensure food security, which accelerates the development and release of new crop varieties.

Published: April 2023

Wheat is one of the most important food plants grown in over 45 countries, feeding 35-40% of the world's population. The main utility is manufacturing bread and various products made from flour.

Bread is the basic food for the majority of the world's population. No other food satisfies the needs of the human body as completely and economically as wheat bread. The most complete and perfect food is bread, which is obtained from flour of wheat.

Through this study, it was followed how the different properties of bakery of white flour type 650 alter during the maturation period for 30 days. The analysed properties were studied on 3 batches of type 650 flour obtained in February 2022. Type 650 white flour was studied because it is the most used flour in the bakery industry and the consumption of white bread is approximately 65% ​​compared to the others bread assortments.

On the flour samples obtained by grinding, the following parameters were monitored at intervals of 10, 20 and 30 days: moisture content, wet gluten content, hydration capacity, dough development time, dough stability. For all three flour samples taken in the study, it is observed that the capacity of flour hydration increases during storage by 1.4 units in batch 3, by 1.8 units in batch 2 and by 2 units to batch 3, the development time of the flour, determined for the three batches of type 650 flour, registers a decrease, which varies between 0.4 in lot 2 and 3, and 0.9 in lot 1; and as for the stability of the dough, there is an increase that signifies the time the dough maintains its maximum consistency, which indicates the dough's tolerance for kneading. The gluten content and the moisture content during the storage period decrease in all 3 flour samples.

Authors: KOLEVA Magdalena , KIRYAKOV Ivan
Published: April 2023

Common bean rust, caused by Uromycesappendiculatus, is one of the most devastating diseases in common bean. Breeding for resistant cultivars is the most effective and eco-friendly method for disease control. Although there is no targeted breeding program in Bulgaria to create resistant cultivars to the pathogen, periodic screening of the virulent diversity of U. appendiculatus and sources of resistance to the identified races/pathotypes is carried out. During the last twenty years, four investigations were made to estimate virulence diversity in pathogen population. Eleven U. appendiculatus races (20-0, 20-1, 20-2, 20-3, 20-19, 29-0, 29-1, 28-1, 52-3, 20-16 and 20-18) are identified, distributed in Rhodope mountains and North Bulgaria. Chronologically each of the studies was accompanied or followed by a screening for sources of resistance to the pathogen under field conditions. Еach study found different numbers of resistant accessions depending on the virulent potential of the population used. In three of the studies, cultivars that showed resistant phenotype under field conditions were screened against a set of races, distributed in the country in the same time, under greenhouse. Bulgarian cultivar ‘Beslet’ showed resistant reaction under field and greenhouse in all investigation. The resistance of the cultivar to races 20-1 and 20-19 is governed by a single dominant gene. This cultivar can be successfully used in a breeding program for race-specific resistance. Fifty accessions with race-nonspecific resistance, expressed by low disease intensity and resistant/susceptible infection type, are identified in two investigations under field conditions.

Jens Haven (1724–1796) and Captain James Cook (1728–1779) in Newfoundland
Authors: Rollmann Hans J.
Published: April 2023

Jens Haven, a former missionary to Green-land, established contact with Inuit from Labrador in 1764. Governor Palliser of Newfoundland saw in Haven’s missionary efforts an opportunity to improve the hitherto hostile relations between the English and Inuit. On his exploration journey, Haven met Captain James Cook near Quirpon on Newfoundland’s Great Northern Peninsula and stayed on his ship. Governor Palliser’s recommendation of Jens Haven to English naval officers in Newfoundland and Labrador provides the context for Haven’s dealings with Captain James Cook. Haven sought to demonstrate throughout the journey his British loyalty. He also found confirmation for an ethnic kinship between Inuit in Labrador and Greenland. The missionary’s relations with Captain Cook are explored here fully by considering all extant archival materials available for the trip, including the German records that he kept from British authorities as well as a later reflection about the trip in 1784.
VALIDATION AND TEST TIME REDUCTION APPROACH FOR BUILTIN-SELF-TEST AND REPAIR OF MEMORIES VIA A SHARED INTERFACE
Authors: BABAYAN A.V.
Published: April 2023

A memory built-in self-test and repair (MBISTR) is a key component in improving a
system-on chip (SoC) yield under daily raising new challenges in IC industry where
memories very often make up the bulk of a SoC. Once a given SoC has a huge number of
memories, it is convenient to test them via a common test network. Meantime, some
designs do not allow to insert this network into an already existing functional design via
adding new nodes in the existing paths but do allow to add it to the design via already
existing functional connection interfaces instead. For example, a shared interface for
connecting a central processing unit (CPU) and cache memories in SoCs is already used for testing these memories via special MBISTR engines connected to this shared interface.
These MBISTR engines have specific features which may impact essentially the validation
and test time.
A way for validation and test time reduction is proposed in this paper for the multiport memories connected to MBISTR engine via a shared interface.
AN EFFICIENT PRIMARY POPULATION INITIALIZATION METHOD FOR METAHEURISTIC ALGORITHMS
Authors: VARDUMYAN A.V.
Published: April 2023

It is widely recognized that convergence capabilities of metaheuristic optimization
algorithms can be enhanced by properly chosen initial population. Most of the state-of-theart initialization techniques are suffering from numerous shortcomings, that ultimately
make them non-viable or not efficient enough. To overcome this, this paper proposes a new algorithm for population initialization, which adopts the approach of dividing the search space into nested cubes and picking edge-points for sampling. Based on the data obtained after testing the method on 8 complex benchmark functions against other popular initialization strategies in the scope of WOA algorithm, the proposed approach outperformed all of the candidates in finding the global optimum.

This research is developmental (Research and Development) using a 4D research model adopted from Thiagarajan model i.e. define, design, develop, and disseminate. The result of the group research receive an average value of 83.19%, so that the module is classified in the feasible/valid category. And in the student responses 58.35% said it was very useful (SB), 39.6% said it was useful(B), and 2.05% said it was less useful(KB), no one chose not useful(TB). Based on the result of the research, it can be concluded that a product in the form of a basic physics practicum module for the virtual laboratory-based prism deviation and refractive index tool was manufactured with good and appropriate qualifications.

The purpose of this study is to explore the concept and scientific process of the phenomenon of changes in air temperature and soil temperature in vegetation land, open land, and asphalt roads. This study uses a qualitative and quantitative approach. The exploratory research used by the research team is themodel Higher Orther Thinking Learning in Democratic Interactionwhich (HOTL-DI) Type A emphasizes interactive components, individualistic high-level learning processes and democratic interactions as a process of sharing and cooperation between individuals in groups. The first stage of object exploration (changes in air temperature and soil temperature in vegetation land, open land, and asphalt roads), concepts and scientific processes is carried out by the research team under the guidance of the thesis supervisor. The second stage is exploratory research on fourth semester students majoring in physics education for the 2021 academic year. The stage of exploring physics objects, concepts and processes in groups as democratic interactions. Democratic indicators, formulated by researchers based on the condition of group interaction when exploring objects and discussing in group report preparation. Students experience difficulties at the beginning of exploration activities because they lack experience in exploring physical concepts and processes about natural phenomena. Democratic behavior and exploration activities seem to be getting better over time, so this learning can realize learning activities to explore objects, concepts and science processes in democratic interaction learning well.

The use of learning models and approaches is important in the learning process. Physics learning needs to apply a learning model so that students can be actively involved in learning. Then they can construct their own knowledge that they learn through the investigation process. The guided inquiry model with the JAS approach is a learning model that can open up diverse thinking insights so that students can learn various concepts and how to relate them to natural phenomena. This study aims to determine the influence of the guided inquiry model with the JAS approach on learning outcomes and the learning environment on students' self-confidence in responding to learning. The method used in this research is experimental with the research design employed, namely, single group pretest-posttest (the one group, pretest-posttest design). The average score of learning outcomes using the guided inquiry model with the JAS approach (outside the classroom) was 74.14, and the average learning outcome using the guided inquiry model (inside the classroom) was 49.75. The results showed that the use of the JAS approach was very influential in understanding the concept of physics.

This study aims to determine the increase in student learning outcomes in physics subjects by the PIMCA (Presentation, Idea Mapping, Conceptualizations, Formative Assessment) model with multi-representation in Uniformly Changing Straight Motion (GLBB). The type of research carried out was quantitative with the Pre-Experiment Design method because there was only one treatment group that was chosen to determine the achievement of learning outcomes and the research design used was the one grub pretest-posttest design. The instrument used is the Pre-test to test the students' initial abilities, then they are given treatment, namely PIMCA and finally the Post-test is given to find out the results after the treatment is applied. The research is located at Thomas Aquino Catholic High School Manado. The sample tested was class X IPA 1 academic year in the odd semester 2020/2021 with a total of 20 students as respondents. The results of data processing and analysis obtained the average value of the Pre-test 28 and the average value of the Post-test 71 and carried out statistical testing with the paired sample test t-test obtained a sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 <0.05 so there is an increase in student physics learning outcomes after the treatment is applied.

Este artículo evaluó el proceso de sucesión vegetal mediante la determinación de su estructura a nivel de latizales y fustales en la parte alta de la microcuenca Chamalucuara ubicada en el municipio de Siguatepeque, Honduras. Se utilizó un enfoque mixto seleccionando sistemáticamente dos sitios con parcelas circulares de 500 m2 en un área de 15.2 (A) y 20.9 (B) ha y un nivel de confianza del 95%. Cada parcela con un radio de 12.61m que permitieron determinar el Índice de Valor de Importancia (IVI) en cada sitio. Así mismo, se establecieron índices de dominancia de Simpson, diversidad de Shannon – Wiener, análisis de correspondencia y curvas de acumulación de especies. Se tomaron muestras de suelo en cada parcela y se analizaron macro y micronutrientes en los laboratorios de la FHIA. Los resultados de dominancia de Simpson en ambos sitios fueron de 0.77 (A) y 0.6 (B), sin embargo, los índices de Shannon – Wiener fueron de 1.63 (A) y 1.12 (B). Por otra parte, el índice de similaridad de Sorensen fue de 58.82%. El estudio concluyó que el IVI fue de 23.33% para Liquidambar styraciflua L. en el sitio A y de 24.14% para Pinus oocarpa Schiede ex Schltdl en el sitio B. La dominancia en ambos sitios fue significativa, sin embargo, la diversidad no parece ser alentadora en el sitio B.
