Authors: Dimitrov Miroslav Vergilov , Venelinova Nataliya
Published: July 2019

The paper presents evidence based brand new approach of the permanent rise of the competences and know-how transfer between researchers, teachers and professionals aiming to ensure the specific expertise of the human resources engaged in energy security management. The approach has a collaborative and integrative nature and relies on the hybridization between energy management, urban development planning, environmental management, civil protection, protection of critical infrastructure and the national security applied fields. The authors redefine the conventional understanding of the energy security by describing a practically oriented integrated approach of teaching energy security, based on 3 separately existing concepts: the concept for smart energy security grid, those for the smart cities and the standard operative procedures applied to energy security management. Smart, Secure and Safe Energy Management (3SEMA) is both behaviorally and technically oriented and presented in a circular chart, involving all actors on certain territory with the purpose to apply smart, secure and safe approach in governing the energy sector, taking into consideration the dynamic technological changes and the concept of intelligent urban use.
Study Regarding the Emotional Self - Awareness and Emotional Self - Control on Managers Activity
Authors: Gorski Hortensia , Ranf Diana Elena
Published: July 2019

This article arose from the desire to connect the concept of emotional intelligence with the business environment to identify the level of knowledge in the field and the effects it produces in this area. Because the concept is very complex, which includes many components focused on several approaches, such as: awareness of emotions, awareness of other people’s emotions, understanding emotions and the ability to manage both their own emotions and others, the article focuses on just two components. Thus, the research is aimed at identifying among managers the importance that they attach to the awareness of emotions, as well as how they manage their emotions. Success in professional life depends not only on technical, economic knowledge, but to a great extent on the management of tense situations, and how it reacts in these cases.
Considerations on Sustainable Water Resources Management
Authors: Halmaghi Elisabeta-Emilia , Moşteanu Dănuț
Published: July 2019

Water is essential to man’s life, nature and economy and has a fundamental role in the climate regulation cycle. It is a resource that is continually regenerating, but is at the same time finite and cannot be produced or replaced by other resources. Nothing is possible without water, this resource being the heart of human and economic development. That is why water is an essential factor for the existence of life and the development of human society. Rapid urbanization, the global demographic explosion and climate change have led to water quality degradation and have become acute pressures on water resources, which has led to concern for water protection. Water is the common denominator that links all areas of activity, and these actions have the role of encouraging a better understanding of the need for water use and management in a more responsible manner.

Hypertext Organization as a Model of Organization Improving the Flow of Knowledge
Authors: Szczygielska Agnieszka
Published: July 2019

The article refers to a non-classic model of an organization, which is a hypertext organization. The hypertext organization combines a highly hierarchical organizational structure with the flexibility of management solutions supporting the conversion of various types of knowledge. It is considered to be a one of the most adequate models for managing the organization of the 21st century. Thereby, it contains in its assumptions solutions corresponding to challenges of the knowledge age and management of knowledge workers. The hypertext organization is able to successfully meet difficult requirements of the modern market and needs of an evolving society of different generations. It is important to show that the hypertext organization, being able to switch between “contexts” of knowledge creation, enables an efficient response to changing internal and external knowledge requirements.

The article is a theoretical discourse, the aim of which is to outline a concise characterization of a new solution in the subject of organizational structures, present the essence of hypertext solutions and show chances and capabilities of knowledge management in such organizations, that finally allow a transformation of institutions in intelligent organizations. Special attention will be paid to strongly hierarchical organizations such as uniformed services, especially the armed forces.

Authors: Ciuhureanu Alina
Published: July 2019

Every decision poses risks, and it is necessary for them to be known. Some may be avoided, others may be diminished, and with others the management will need to become accustomed and avoided and are predominantly related to the external environment. For this reason, the risk can be approached as a variation of the results under the pressure of the environment of the activity. Based on these considerations, the paper addresses the risk in terms of its definition based on the literature and presents some essential aspects regarding the fundamental categories of risks from the point of view of managerial utility. Based on a selective scientific research carried out on a sample of entities in the Centre Region, the paper captures the degree to which managers are interested in capitalizing the accounting information for knowing the risks.
The Role and Place of Accounting Information in the Decision-Making System
Authors: Floştoiu Sebastian
Published: July 2019

The results and performance of an enterprise are the result of the decisions taken by the management of the entity, decisions which are the result of a complex procedure of processing and analyzing the relevant data and information provided by the information system available. In other words, appropriate and correct decisions that lead to the achievement of the objectives and attainment of higher performances are dependent on the quality and quantity of the information. Consequently, accurate information generates correct decisions. Due to of its qualities (relevance, intelligibility, credibility and comparability), accounting information occupies a very important place in the architecture of the economic information system, having the highest degree of certainty and providing the possibility of an accurate representation of economic phenomena and processes, both at micro, as well as at macroeconomic levels. Hence, we can say that the “final outcome of accounting”, namely accounting information, is one of the most important pillars of the elaboration, substantiation and decision-making process. Starting from this premise, this article aims to capture the main features of accounting information, which qualifies it as the object and the subject of the management system.

Authors: Krastev Vladislav , Koyundzhiyska-Davidkova Blagovesta , Atanasova Irina
Published: July 2019

Nowadays, the topic of corruption is extremely relevant, not only in terms of clarifying its nature and appearance, but also in terms of its impact on business development. Corruption as a phenomenon goes through constant changes from the past to the present. Its growing significance from a resource redistribution tool to a regulator of social mechanisms, plays the role of a risk factor for the economic development of each country. In this context, the role of corruption is crucial for the business. Its importance in the economic and business climate, on one hand limits the input of foreign capital investment and on other hand slows the development of the companies, leading to an incorrect redistribution of their assets. As a result, there are significant losses for the business, as well as there is a disturbance of the economic cycle of the country. At the same time, business is an area predisposed to corruption. There are numerous possibilities for committing crimes and unethical behavior in this area. It is therefore necessary to analyze the impact of corruption on business development. In this regard, the aim of this report is to make a comparative analysis of the impact of corruption on the business in Bulgaria and Romania.
The Need for Determining and Assessing Risk in Economic Activity
Authors: Milandru Marius
Published: July 2019

In modern terms, risk management is a concept applicable to economic agents, which represent a factor that generates economic and financial performance. In this respect, I appreciate that it is obvious that risk management is a necessity in the activity of any organization regardless of the field of activity or its objectives. Additionally, observing the procedural elements specific to the identification, analysis, quantification and assessment of the economic risk will lead to the company being correctly diagnosed and facilitates the identification of solutions for its elimination, or mitigation within the parameters of a controllable area.
The Adjusted Net Asset, a Patrimonial Method to Determine the Value of Economic Entity
Authors: Nicoară Mihaela
Published: July 2019

One of the goals of evaluation is applying the management based on value, in order to redirect the performances of different activities of the enterprise meaning when, how, and how much to extend the businesses that bring value, and which of the operational measures have the biggest potential to raise the value. The evaluation is based on balanced sheet, balance of accounts, and then the economic balance that includes both the patrimony of the economic entity in economic values and the turnover that the entity is able to achieve. The determination of the adjusted net asset is based on the achieved economic balance. The adjusted net asset is considered the most important patrimonial value because it takes into consideration the incident of various factors on the real value of the assets and on the liabilities or debts of the entity. The evaluation of the economic entity is essential in many moments of the existence of an enterprise, as acquisition, divesture, stock holdings, stock issued, issued shared, stock sales, absorptions, fusions, etc. The specialized literature mentions as essential patrimonial values: the active asset, the adjusted active asset, the active asset reduction. Taking into consideration only their own funds and equity as resource of financing the patrimonial assets of the economic entity, we can affirm that these values correspond to the seller’ view that considers that the economic entity is terminating its activity and his main concern is only the possible selling prices.
The Romanian Revolution of 1989 - An Armed Conflict?
Authors: Guţan Sabin
Published: July 2019

The violent events of December 1989 in Romania, which led to the removal of the Communist regime from power are still shrouded in mystery today. The social disorder and the political chaos of those days overlapped with the violent use of the armed forces that used all kinds of weapons. During the armed confrontations, many casualties (military and civilian) and destruction of goods, including cultural ones, took place. In the years following these events a series of theories, hypotheses, controversies, and trials have emerged, but no one has clearly defined the legal nature of this social-political crisis. The purpose of this scientific approach is not to analyze the events and crimes committed in December 1989, but to determine whether and to what extent the international humanitarian law can be applied to these events.
Appeal of Public Procurement Procedures
Authors: Ivanova Albena
Published: July 2019

Public Procurement is an important element of the Internal Market and a basic method of public spending and ensuring the free movement of goods, services and works by domestic and foreign companies. Through the adoption and implementation in the national legislation of the Member States of a package of Directives 2014, a new Public Procurement regime is settled. The purpose of the new Directives is to exclude the risk of giving national tenderers an advantage. There are a number of issues, including the kind of legal protection contractors can expect in Public Procurement procedures. This article analyses one of the mechanisms for controlling Public Procurement - their appeal. It relates to the judicial control exercised by the relevant national institutions in the Member States and the conditions and procedures for appeal that are governed by the national laws, once the Directives have been transposed into national legal systems. Despite a limited number of cases, the Court of Justice of EU (CJEU) also exercises judicial review within the context of a reference for a preliminary ruling, where a national court hearing an appeal against a Public Procurement procedure, has referred a question to the CJEU.
Contemporary Trends in the Development of the Anti-Corruption Legislation of Republic of Bulgaria
Authors: Krastev Vladislav , Koyundzhiyska-Davidkova Blagovesta , Petkova Nadezhda
Published: July 2019

In 2000, the global policy against the phenomenon of “corruption“ was launched by the United Nations, and in 2003 the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) was adopted, which Bulgaria ratified three years later. Two months after the adoption of this international convention, Bulgaria became part of the European Union. The accession was accompanied by the creation of “specific accompanying measures” aimed at correcting identified deficiencies in various areas, including measures against corruption. As a result of the annual reports of the European Commission on Bulgaria’s progress on the Co-operation and Verification Mechanism, anti-corruption law-making has begun to develop and improve. Serious progress in this direction is the creation of legislation in the area of “conflict of interest”, which is not exactly corruption but creates prerequisites for its development, especially in the public sphere. The paper presents the result of the analysis of the created anti-corruption legislation after the accession of the Republic of Bulgaria to the EU. Particular attention is paid to the law adopted in 2018 regulating anti-corruption measures, as well as the terms and procedure for the seizure of illegally acquired property for the benefit of the state.
Challenges Regarding the Implementation of MiFID II
Authors: Miloş Marius Cristian , Miloş Laura Raisa
Published: July 2019

Despite the positive effects that MiFID II has had in increasing transparency and the individual investor protection, most recent studies outline the difficulties experienced in practice by the European investment firms when trying to comply with the European regulation. The most recent survey realized by CFA Institute point out to the fact that the European investment services industry has suffered, due to the introduction of the new regulation. The big players might be the only ones for which it seems to be worth remaining on the market, the small investment companies being downsized or eliminated completely. In this paper, we aim at discussing the challenges that the introduction of MiFID has brought for the Romanian investment firms, while comparing this situation with the general situation at the European level.

Short Profiles of Different European Investigation Order Domestic Regulations in the European Union
Authors: Papucharova Georgia
Published: July 2019

Тhe regulatory fragmentation and the excessive administrative formalities in the area of international legal assistance in investigation have created the need for a unitary mechanism. This article is focused on the relatively new instrument for international judicial cooperation in criminal matters – The European Investigation Order (EIO). Specifically, it examines the reflection of Directive 2014/41/EU in several Member States of the EU and provides an overview of the separate national systems. The analysis contained in this paper seeks to identify the issuing, the receiving and the executing authorities in each of the considered countries. Main aspects of the EIO’s regulation such as, for an example, its form and content, its transmission, proportionality assessment, deadlines and refusal grounds are seen from the perspective of different national legislations. Although the present study is not intended to be exhaustive, it could clarify to some extent whether an“one-size-fits all” solution in the area of evidence-gathering is an appropriate approach. Special attention is paid to the protection of the right to defence provided by the examined domestic regulations concerning the EIO.

Authors: Mihăilă-Lică Gabriela
Published: July 2019

The paper analyses the image of Maria Rosetti, the first female journalist in Romania, one of the personalities that played a crucial role for the outcome of the Revolution of 1848, and the way in which she remained in the public consciousness. Born in Guernsey, Scotland, the sister of the diplomat Effingham Grant and wife of the Romanian revolutionary Constantin Alexandru Rosetti “made the cause of Romania her own“. Despite being a foreigner, through everything she did, Maria Rosetti tried to help her adoptive country evolve and become a modern unitary state. Besides playing an active role in the escape of her husband and of other revolutionaries arrested by the Turks, she was also the mother of eight children (only four survived) in whom she instilled the most fervent patriotism. Last, but not least, the wife of C. A. Rosetti used her literary talent for pedagogical purposes in order to educate the younger generations according to the desiderata of a new Romanian society. Admired by her contemporaries and by her followers, her portrait was immortalized by C. D. Rosenthal in the famous painting “Revolutionary Romania”, becoming a symbol of the love and of the power of sacrifice for her country.

Authors: Pateşan Marioara , Balagiu Alina , Zechia Dana
Published: July 2019

Introducing vocabulary to students is not always an easy task. Due to music and movies that young people are exposed to today, vocabulary acquisition is more often not taken seriously. Young people can hum or repeat sentences from a movie that impress them and think that they are able to communicate in a foreign language. In an academic environment you realize that each new vocabulary word is like a brick needed to build up a whole wall; is a small step that help you enrich your abilities to speak, write and understand all the English you might need at a certain time in your professional life. Studies have shown that the more words you know in a foreign language the more you can use it in real life situations. In this study we will approach the theoretical studies related to vocabulary acquisition as well as some practical exercises that might be used in class.

Terminology as a Barrier to NATO's Interoperability in Cyberspace Operations
Authors: Janczewski Robert , Pilarski Grzegorz , Marczyk Maciej
Published: July 2019

During Warsaw NATO summit cyberspace has officially become a new domain of operations in which NATO must defend itself as effectively as it does in the air, on land, and at sea. According to this declaration, NATO members must achieve abilities to conduct cyber operations. This declaration shows distinctly that partners in NATO need to have defensive and offensive capabilities to interoperate with allies during cyber activities. However, the proper functioning of armed forces in a multi and international environment, their cross-sectoral cooperation in time of peace, war, and a crisis situation depends on terminology and common language. Unfortunately, different NATO countries have their own set of terms and definitions. Sometimes cyber terminology is strongly distant. The lack of a unified conceptual apparatus for cyber activities poses a serious barrier to interoperate in cyberspace. The article presents a theoretical basis of cyber terminology based on research carried out by the authors. The paper is the added value since it presents and clarifies complex issues of cybersecurity terminology. Moreover, it also presents definitions of key terms and assures a strong theoretical basis and provides an incentive for further research on the referents of cyber terms.

Authors: Mitrea Teodor , Vasile Vlad , Borda Monica
Published: July 2019

Over the last years, there has been a real revolution of mobile devices, which has effectively translated into the exponential increase in internet access rates on a mobile device as opposed to accessing it on desktop systems. Given the growing importance of smartphones, it is important to assess the privacy and security risks of these devices in order to mitigate them. However, as we know, in modern mobile security architecture, applications represent the most critical elements. In this paper we review common mobile applications flaws involving network communications, data storage, user input handling and also exploring a number of vulnerabilities. While applications provide amazing features and benefits for users, they also represent the main attraction for cyber criminals. In order to have a true picture of the mobile security threat spectrum, this article presents the means of how mobile applications can impact systems security, stability and compromise personal data if they are not handled properly.

Published: July 2019

This paper describes the particularities of satellite navigation on the territory of Romania in search of solutions to improve the accuracy of these systems. The performance of a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is influenced by many factors, including distortion of the signal, the influence of the ionosphere and the troposphere, multipath propagation. Some of these factors depend on the geographical position and the environment in which the navigation system is used. Moreover, Romania is located at the border of coverage of two Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) – European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) and System for Differential Corrections and Monitoring (SDCM) which leads to some peculiarities regarding satellite navigation.
Virtualization Solutions Supporting Privacy and Data Protection in Online Activities
Authors: Șandor Andrei
Published: July 2019

Nowadays, smart devices like computers, tablets, and smartphones allow transmitting the information everywhere, with high speed, over the World Wide Web. However, risks regarding data integrity, privacy and security when using the Internet, increased dramatically, as methods designed to exploit the system’s vulnerabilities are more and more sophisticated. Therefore the need for people working in professional environments to protect their private data when using unsecure connections, by employing advanced tools. There are multiple solutions, but we will focus on the use of virtualization software like VMware or Oracle Virtual Box, together with traditional privacy measures (use of proxies and VPN’s). Today’s smart devices store an important amount of data about their owners and, in most of the cases, people don’t even realize this. Installing and using protection means is often not enough. They have to be properly setup in order to ensure the desired level of security, or anonymity, when using the Internet, and require for the military personnel a good knowledge not only about cyber vulnerabilities and risks, but also technical capabilities and features of the employed security solutions.

Defining and assessing walkability: a concept for an integrated approach using surveys, biosensors and geospatial analysis
Authors: Dörrzapf Linda , Kovács-Győri Anna , Resch Bernd , Zeile Peter
Published: July 2019

Walking as a transport mode is still often underrepresented in the overall transport system. Consequently, pedestrian mobility is usually not recorded statistically in the same manner as it is performed for motorised traffic which leads to an underestimation of its importance and positive effects on people and cities. However, the integration of walkability assessments is potentially a valuable complement in urban planning processes through considering important quantitative and qualitative aspects of walking in cities. Recent literature shows a variety of approaches involving discrepancies in the definition of walkability, the factors which contribute to it, and methods of assessing them. This paper provides a new understanding of the concept of walkability in the European context. Our approach relies on the extension of methodological competence in transportation, spatial planning and geography by linking new measurement methods for evaluating walkability. We propose an integrated approach to assessing walkability in a comprehensive methodology that combines existing qualitative and GIS-based methods with biosensor technologies and thus captures the perceptions and emotions of pedestrians. This results in an increased plausibility and relevance of the results of walkability analysis by considering the spatial environment and its effect on people.
Measuring citizen participation in urban regeneration: a reflection on the construction of the participation index for the Bip/Zip programme in Lisbon
Authors: Falanga Roberto
Published: July 2019

Citizen participation in policymaking has become a worldwide key reference for the design and implementation of urban regeneration. Despite the growing rate of participatory processes, little evidence or scientific debate has been fostered on their measurement and, broadly speaking, evaluation. While challenges in providing robust evaluations are related to the difficulties in providing common definitions of citizen participation in policymaking, the limited sharing of theories and evidence compromises a more comprehensive understanding of the socio-political phenomenon. The article contributes to this topic by discussing the conceptualisation and operationalisation of the participation index for the Bip/ Zip programme. Since 2011, the programme has tackled socio-spatial inequalities in 67 priority areas of Lisbon by funding local partnerships composed of local associations, NGOs, and parish governments committed to engaging local communities in the development of their activities. The participation index will be formulated from the convergence of data collected through quantitative and qualitative methods on the constitution of partnerships, the implementation of initiatives, and the provision of public funding. The discussion provides critical reflection upon opportunities and challenges of the ongoing process from the academic and policy sides, which can positively stimulate future research on the topic.

Namun pihak BMT tidak memisahkan sumber atau aliran dananya sehingga dapat diasumsikan pembiayaan Qardhul Hasan ini menggunakan dana dari Zakat, Infaq dan Sedekah(ZIS). Penerapan pembiayaan Qardhul Hasan hanya diperuntukkan bagi karyawan dan pegawai saja sehingga jauh dari referensi serta dalil tentang pembiayaan itu sendiri. Kemudian untuk perlakuan akuntansi Qardhul Hasan belum sepenuhnya sesuai dengan PSAK Syariah baik dalam pengakuan dan pengungkapan transaksi.
