Authors: NEGREA Adrian , REZI Raluca , URDA Camelia , RUSU Teodor , POPA Alin
Published: January 2024

This experiment investigated the effect of foliar fertilization on yield components, yield and protein content to 75 soybean genotypes from four maturity groups. The experiment took place within the Soybean Breeding Laboratory at Research and Development Station for Agriculture Turda (RDSA Turda) over the course of two years (2020, 2021). The experimental design was a complete randomized block with three replications in which three variants of fertilization were analyzed, and the application of foliar fertilizers was carried out in different stages of soybean vegetation. In general, if we refer to the yield, it is observed that most of the genotypes that reacted favorably to the application of foliar fertilization are with the Ff1 variant, on the other hand, for the protein content, it seems that the Ff2 foliar fertilization variant causes an increase in protein in most of the genotypes that they had a favorable reaction to foliar fertilization. Regarding the component elements of yield, the application of foliar fertilization variants does not greatly contribute to increasing their number, being directly related to the genotype but also the interaction between environment x genotype.

Authors: GHERBAN Cosmin , SALA Florin
Published: January 2024

The study evaluated the variation of photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll, carotenoids) in wheat flag leaves in relation to the nitrogen variation rate. The PG102 winter wheat variety was cultivated, in non-irrigated conditions, on a chernozem type soil. Nitrogen was applied in doses of 0 - 280 kg ha-1 a.s., in a variation rate of 40 kg ha-1 a.s. (active substances). The field experiments took place in ULS "King Mihai I" from Timisoara, Romania. At the time of flowering (BBCH code 6), random samples of flag leaves were taken on each experimental variant. The chlorophyll content (Chl) varied between Chl = 43.73±1.04 (V1) and Chl = 58.92±1.21 (V6). The carotenoid content (Car) varied between Car = 10.12±0.59 (V1) and Car = 21.56±0.49 (V6). Based on the Chl and Car values, the Chl/Car and Car/Chl ratios were calculated for each experimental variant. According to Kruskal-Wallis test, resulted significant difference between sample medians (p (same) = 1.56E-05 in case of Chl data series; p (same) = 2.616E-09 in case of Car data series). The variation of Chl and Car pigments in relation to nitrogen (N) was described by polynomial equations of the 3rd degree, under statistical safety conditions (R2 = 0.981 in the case of Chl; R2 = 0.986 in the case of Car; p<0.001). The variation of Car in relation to Chl was described by a polynomial equation of degree 3 (R2 = 0.978, p<0.001).

Published: January 2024

The study used imaging analysis (UAV images) to analyze and characterize an agricultural land area resulting from the harvest of the wheat crop. The researches were carried out in the framework of ARDS Lovrin, agricultural year 2021-2022. The agricultural land was worked with a disk, and the vegetable remains (straw, stubble) were partially incorporated into the soil. The images were taken with the drone (DJI Phantom 4) at variable heights, between H = 0.5 m and H = 50 m from the ground level (19 series of images from variable heights). The analysis of the images resulted in values in the RGB color system. Normalized values (rgb) and NDI and INT indices were calculated. The color parameter R (red) varied between R = 77.36 – 89.14±0.71, the color parameter G (green) varied between G = 71.29 – 81.99±0.60, and the color parameter B (blue) varied between B = 71.42 – 79.29±0.47. The values of the calculated indices varied between NDI = 0.040 – 0.048±0.0007, respectively INT = 73.357 – 83.217±0.582. Correlations of varying levels of intensity were recorded between color parameters, calculated indies and image retrieval height. High variability was recorded in the case of the NDI index (CV = 7.3156), and low value in the case of the normalized value g (CV = 0.4443). Polynomial equations described the variation of some color parameters in relation to the image retrieval height (p<0.001). The variation of the NDI index in relation to the image acquisition height was described by a spline model, under statistical safety conditions ( ). Associated with the image retrieval height, the NDI index presented four ranges of values, respectively uniform values on the 0.5 - 1 m height interval, and on the 25 - 50 m height interval; variation of 0.001 units on the height interval 2 - 8 m, and high variability on the height interval 9 - 20 m.

Authors: SFIRCOCI Monica , COPACEAN Loredana , COJOCARIU Luminita
Published: January 2024

The grasslands in the mountainous area of Romania are located in places that are difficult to access and therefore difficult to investigate through field studies; furthermore, the data collected in this way are punctual. As an alternative solution, there is the possibility of accessing Open Source data and software through which scientific information can be extracted from different spheres of research and continuous images can be obtained, over the entire surface of interest. In this context, the purpose of the research was to apply Open Source solutions for extracting "basic" information (location, delimitation and framing in the area, relief, geology, soils and so on) for the Ps Baru grassland, in the Tulişa mountains. The workflow was applied with Open Source software and data, taken from profile platforms and can be extended for any grasslands, regardless of their location or size. As a result of the research, it was found that: the grassland is located in the Tulişa Mountains, has an area of 309 ha and is surrounded by forest, which can be interpreted as an alarm signal about the risk of afforestation to which it is subjected. The grassland is located between 1200 - 1600 m altitude, and the relief is fragmented by the valleys of some rivers. Exploitation roads are present on the counter lines. Based on the longitudinal and transversal profiles, but also through the analysis of the generated relief maps, it was observed that the land slopes from the southwest to the northeast. In the subsoil of the analyzed grassland, the Tulişa Series and the Sebeş Series are predominantly present, and from a pedological aspect, two types of soil predominate, respectively districambosol and rendzin, on smaller surfaces. The use of Open Source data, for the characterization of grassland surfaces, offers a series of advantages: the possibility of using data sets of different types based on the complex characterization of the investigated surface can be done; free use of programs and data; the possibility of extracting the data without going to the field.

Unlocking the Potential of Chinese Urban Innovation: The Role of Support Policies for New R&D Institutions from an Innovation Chain Management Perspective
Authors: Zhang mingyang
Published: January 2024

The enactment of policies that bolster new research and development (R&D) institutions stands as a pivotal strategy to catalyze urban innovation and development. Adopting a strategic lens of innovation chain management and employing the Differences-in-Differences (DID) method to scrutinize panel data from 43 Chinese cities spanning 2008 to 2019, this study probes the efficacy and underlying mechanisms of policies designed to support nascent R&D institutions in facilitating urban innovation. Empirical findings reveal that policies in support of new R&D institutions have markedly enhanced the three integral stages of the urban innovation chain: research and development, transfer, and application. Furthermore, the innovation ambiance within cities and the innovative activities of enterprises emerge as significant mediators between support policies and the output of urban innovation across these stages. A regional heterogeneity analysis unveils that the impact of support policies on the output of urban innovation diverges across regions, with a notably more pronounced effect observed in the eastern region compared to central and western regions. An objective appraisal of the policy's impact on urban innovation not only aids in delving into the profound implementation effects of policy instruments but also furnishes policy-makers with decision-making references for optimizing the utilization of support policies for new R&D institutions to advance the edification of the national innovation system.

„Изобретяването“ на свети мъченик Енравота
Authors: Христов Янко
Published: January 2024

Studying cults of Christian saints as well as providing a reasonable explanation for the absence of such cults in certain parts of the early medieval Balkans are challenging tasks. The obstacles and difficulties are not always a result of some kind of lack of information, but sometimes they are due to the obscure and debatable nature of the accounts in the primary sources. Such is the case of Enravota, the eldest son of Khan Omurtag (814/815–831). He did not inherit the throne and was executed because of his devotion to Christianity. Nowadays, the Bulgarian Orthodox Church commemorates Enravota on March 28, but the initial ambiguities of the cult are rarely discussed. In view of this, the present text tries to achieve as much certainty as possible as to whether his veneration as a saint goes indeed back to the medieval era.

The past glory of Veliki Preslav never faded away, even when the Bulgarians were deprived of their own state. Many researchers and travellers noted the importance of the town in the Bulgarian medieval past and the remembrance of its previous role was retained in the memory of the people. Most important are the records of those authors who were personally acquainted with the imposing buildings of Veliki Preslav. Some of them were looking for the origin of its ruins in Antiquity but others properly connected them with the old Bulgarian capital.

Published: January 2024

This research work deals with the design, modeling and technical evaluation of multiport modular converter based hybrid Power supply using solar PV for small village. The village’s maximum power demand is 50kvA, consisting of demands of twenty (20) households. The first converter in the proposed multiport system is a high frequency isolated DC-DC converter fed with HVDC link yielding an output voltage of 700vDC. The isolated DC-DC converter uses a medium frequency transformer with primary and secondary side converters in input-series output-parallel (ISOP) configuration. Also, the output of first converter is connected to a solar PV and battery system through a buck-boost converter. The second converter in the system is solar PV fed three phase modular inverter designed to have output AC line voltage of 0.415 kV. The three phase inverter is based on modular multilevel converter (MMC) with interleaved modulation techniques. A silicon carbide power MOSFETs, with model numbers CPM3-10000-0270(CREE) and SD11703 (Solitron) are used as a building blocks for isolated DC-DC converter. On the other hand, SiC -MOSFET with part number SCT3017AL (RHOM) is used as basic building block for modular inverter. A solar PV module with open circuit voltage of 85V and maximum power rating of 415W is used to feed the inverter. Different scenarios such as changes in load and changes in solar irradiance are used for critically evaluating the performances of the system under question. The output voltage THD, current distortions, changes in the converter output voltage, current magnitude and converter efficiency are used for performance evaluation of the system under consideration. Simulink/ PLECS (Piecewise Linear Electrical Circuit Simulation) combo simulation platform is used to model and simulate the system in question. Simulation results showed that the proposed multiport converter system can be a viable alternative to low frequency distribution transformer.

Harmony and Discord: Unraveling the response of Yields of Fixed Income Securities against Economic Instabilities
Authors: Aman AmeenUllah , Shaikh Abdus Salam , Siddique Kamran Aziz Ahmed
Published: January 2024

In the times of macroeconomic and financial instability, governments are prone to issue excessive fixed-income securities in local as well as international markets while offering excessive rates of returns to fill their financing gaps. Therefore. this study aims to investigate the effect of the prevalent macroeconomic and financial instability of a country on the yields of Sukuk (Islamic bonds) and conventional bonds. The study collects the monthly data from Pakistan for the period 2015 to 2022 considering that the country has been facing such economic instabilities for the last few years. The findings reveal that there is a positive effect of inflation, interest rate, and the risk premium on the yields of both conventional and sukuk bonds. However, foreign exchange volatility and the performance of the stock exchange affect the conventional yield negatively. This study revealed lucrative prospects for investors who choose to invest in fixed-income assets, in terms of diversification gains by investing in both conventional and Sukuk bonds.
Effect of Leader Creativity Expectations on Creative Performance in Higher Education: Mediating Role of Intrinsic Motivation for Creativity
Authors: Adil Muhammad Shahnawaz , Hamid Kamal Bin Ab
Published: January 2024

A plethora of research reported the positive effect of teachers' expectations on students’ academic performance. However, very little is known about how academicians’ perceived leader creativity expectations (LCE) affect their creative performance in higher education. With support from Pygmalion theory, this study's objectives are two-fold: a) to analyze the effect of academicians’ perceived LCE on their creative performance; and b) whether the intrinsic motivation for creativity mediates the relationship between academicians’ perceived LCE and creative performance. A usable sample of 281 responses is drawn from the full-time academicians of private-sector universities. The structural model demonstrates medium-to-high out-of-sample predictive power. This study is among the first reports in both creativity and education literature which assesses nonlinear effects and endogeneity using Ramsey’s RESET test and Gaussian copula approach respectively to determine the robustness of the structural model’s results. The findings suggest that, although academicians’ perceived LCE has a significant positive effect on creative performance, it actually emasculates the intrinsic motivation of academicians in higher education. Besides, intrinsic motivation mediates the relationship between academicians’ perceived LCE and creative performance. Implications and future directions are discussed.
Realization of the right to civil service at war: the search for a normative model (based on the experience of Ukraine)

Published: January 2024

Under the conditions of introduction in the country of legal regime of martial law in connection with an external armed aggression against Ukraine, conditions for the implementation of fundamental rights of citizens, including the right to public service, the basis of the implementation of which is regulated by numerous normative legal acts, have changed significantly. The ,,basic” normative model, which regulates bases of realization of the person’s right to public service, formed in Ukraine, including taking into account positive normative experience of foreign countries, orientation on provision of practical implementation of innovative functions of the state in the context of ,,global” European integration vector of its development, is relevant to peaceful conditions and in the context of appearance of ,,external negative factor” for existence of the state has not appeared in full measure capable of providing a possibility for a person to perform the right to public service. Under the conditions of the introduction of the legal regime of martial law, quite appropriate to ensure the relevant foundations of the functioning of public service as a whole, the implementation of a person’s right to public service is normative activity of the state, focused on fixing, in parallel with the existing ,,basic” model for peacetime conditions, ,,alternative” normative model as forced, temporary, justified. The peculiarity of this model lies in the fact that it fixes the possibility of simultaneous implementation of both ,,basic” (for peacetime) and temporary legal prescriptions, the possibility of ,,pause” in the application of ,,basic” legal prescriptions and temporary operation of innovative rules, focused specifically on the period of legal regime of martial law.
Somatic rights. Fundamental concepts
Authors: Guceac Ion
Published: January 2024

The need to approach this subject is largely determined by the modest interest of Moldovan scientists in somatic rights. A difficulty is also the absence in the content of national legislation of provisions dedicated to these rights. In these circumstances, the novelty of the approached subject is evident, especially for the local research space in the field of legal sciences. In this context, we reveal the need for succession from the fragmentary study to a com-prehensive and fundamental analysis of the issue of somatic rights, to identify not only scientific solutions, but also normative ones.

Published: January 2024

Under the conditions of the new political options in the Eastern European space, the problem of the concept of sta-te power is of major interest, which must be put at the service of the democratic process that is desired to be irrever-sible, and, to achieve this, desired, permanent efforts are needed, in order to clarify the essence of power, the power political, the state power, the factors that influence its evolution.Analyzing the legal nature of the state power and mentioning the fact that state power is a rather complex phenomenon whose branches, manifestations, features have been analyzed by many authors from the past to the present, we consider it opportune to systematize this knowledge in a separate field of cratology (the science of power) – Legal cratology, the inclusion of which in the University study plan of the Faculty of Law for master’s students in the Public Law specialty is particularly useful.
Anonymity on the internet versus identification of offenders
Authors: Renita Gheorghe
Published: January 2024

More and more people choose to act anonymously on the Internet. This fact generates many benefits, for example, it encourages the expression of critical opinions. On the other hand, there is also a “dark side” to this phenomenon. Specifically, perpetrators can opt to commit crimes on the Internet anonymously. This article argues that anonymity on the Internet should not be an obstacle to finding out the truth and, respectively, to the administration of justice. So, Internet privacy must yield when the imperative of identifying offenders and reparations to victims is at stake. However, this must be done with safeguards in mind, not arbitrarily.
Crime prevention by adjusting educational contents to the dynamics of society: an argument for the individualization of the educational process
Authors: Samoilenco Victoria
Published: January 2024

The education of the population cannot be achieved without taking into account the dynamics of society. This fact must be taken into account especially at the level of formal education. A fair approach to educational contents determines the solution and prevention of many social problems, especially criminality, because education is the most accessible tool through which we can influence people’s behavior in a positive way. In the specific case of the Republic of Moldova, the development of emotional and civic skills in the context of the instructional-educational process is of particular importance at the moment. The structure of criminality in the Republic of Moldova reflects the most serious social problems: corruption, family violence, hostile attitude towards the tax system, alcoholism, unsafe road traffic, etc. All solutions developed in the justice system are ineffective. Only in the field of education is there hope, and at the same time only educational institutions can fulfill the preventive role of educating and informing the population by cultivating prosocial values. Law through punishment only has the ability to curb people’s negative impulses, but not to make them act prosocially due to their own conviction.

After the pronouncement of the Decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union in Case C-520/21, we can observe evolution of the conditions and the ways in which the restoration to the situation prior to the cancellation of the abusive clauses in the bank loan contract with the consumers is carried out, as well as the ways in which it is carried out compensation for damage caused by the professional’s use of abusive clauses.The purpose of this article is to document the scope of these changes in the eventuality of harmonizing national legislation to update legal protection for consumer rights, regarding the effects of this decision regarding the ,,nullity of protection” and from the perspective of the effects of this decision regarding the right of the parties to the credit agreement to request damages in the event of the cancellation of the credit agreement.
The political aspect of inter-state litigation before the European Court of Human Rights
Authors: Cuba Daria
Published: January 2024

From its outset the Inter-State Applications procedure was conceived as the most effective means to put an end to human rights violations, guaranteeing compliance with the European Convention of Human Rights. Nevertheless, with time, this remedy has evolved differently from that envisaged by its authors, becoming only a secondary mecha-nism of the Convention. Today, the overwhelming majority of cases before the European Court of Human Rights (hereafter ,, the ECtHR”) are individual applications. Since its creation, the Strasbourg Court has considered thirty State applications, with only eight of them reaching a judgement on the merits. Still, the number of interstate cases currently being referred to the ECtHR demonstrates their growing relevance. In light of the above, this article shall touch upon the reasons and consequences of this phenomenon.
Prevention and combating of femicide in the Republic of Moldova
Authors: Cheianu-Andrei Diana
Published: January 2024

Femicide (the killing of women/girls by men) is an extreme form of violence against women and girls and is influenced by hatred, contempt, pleasure, pride. This can take place in both the private and the public sphere, with the perpetrators often being intimate partners, family members or people who know the victim. This article presents the analysis of the cases of femicide that occurred in 2022 in the Republic of Moldova and the actions taken by the authorities to prevent and combat this phenomenon. The author analyzed the death cases that came to the attention of the Commission for monitoring and analyzing cases of family violence resulting in death or serious bodily injury of the victims, the particularities of the cases of femicide, the profile of victims and perpetrators, preventive measures and punishments applied by different institutions, highlighting some systemic problems and bad practices that need to be fixed.
The European Union’s multilateral diplomacy: partnerships for promoting democracy
Authors: Stejaru Selena
Published: January 2024

The article addresses the European Union’s efforts to forge a new generation of partnerships aimed at strengthen-ing international cooperation, collaborating in and with multilateral and regional organizations, as well as other stake-holders who share democratic values. In this context, it offers an overview of a broad, diverse, and important field of modern diplomatic practice, elucidating the concepts of ,,multilateral diplomacy” and ,,multilateralism”. Moreover, drawing upon the International Relations theories, realism and liberalism perspectives, our research objective is to outline the EU’s commitment to ally and support partners in more effectively engaging with the multilateral system. As democratic principles and respect for human rights are the core elements of the EU’s identity, and deeply rooted in its foreign policy, the Union moved forward on important internal and external initiatives. This involves ensuring a systematic monitoring and pursuit of bilateral commitments with partner countries to advance the multilateral agenda and promote the safeguarding of democracy and human rights at global scale.
Poppy Seed Consumption and Oral Fluid Opioids Detection: A Classroom Demonstration of Psychopharmacological Concepts
Authors: Flaisher-Grinber Shlomit
Published: January 2024

Psychopharmacological concepts such as pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and drug interactions can be difficult to illustrate within the college classroom. In this demonstration, students consume poppy seed-containing food items, assess opioid content in their oral fluid using commercial drug test kits, and relate the findings to learned materials, its real-life applications, and relevant societal implications. This demonstration can clarify processes such as drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME), broaden the review of information relevant to opioids mechanisms of action, and facilitate the discussion of topics such as drug abuse, dependence, and addiction, as well as drug development, testing, policy, and enforcement. Instructors can employ different experimental designs, create dose-dependent/timeline detection plots, or allow students to construct their own experiments, assessing possible mediators of opioid detection. The demonstration can also be utilized to discuss scientific myths, truths, data misinterpretation and misrepresentation. Several optional protocols are provided, required materials are indicated, and discussion points are suggested.
Reducing Brain Injury Misconceptions and Willingness to Risk Concussion with a Three-Week Introductory-level Neuroscience Course
Authors: Gordon Rupa Gupta
Published: January 2024

Misconceptions of brain injury are common and persistent in the general public (Ralph and Derbyshire, 2013). Moreover, undergraduate students are in an age range where they are at high risk of concussion and traumatic brain injury, but often lack knowledge of the symptoms, severity, recovery, and varied impacts of brain injury on cognition. Introductory-level undergraduate neuroscience courses have the potential to reach a broad audience and improve students’ knowledge of the brain. It is also important to know, however, if neuroscience courses can combat common misconceptions and impact real-world behaviors like willingness to risk concussion and prevention of brain injury. An introductory-level immersive three-week course during January term was developed, targeted at first-year students and non-majors. The focus of the course was to help students understand the role of different brain regions in behavior by presenting neurological cases that demonstrate the human experience of brain injury. Following the course, all students displayed greater knowledge about brain injury and reduced willingness to risk brain injury or concussion. Although students with a history of concussion were more willing to risk future concussion overall, they did show a similar reduction in risk as those without a history of concussion but were also less likely to endorse safety practices like helmet use. Beyond improving basic knowledge of neuroscience, introductory-level courses also have an opportunity to impact students’ understanding of brain injury in their personal and professional lives.
Unlocking Hidden Awareness: Repurposing fMRI to Detect Levels of Consciousness

Determining the state of consciousness in patients with disorders of consciousness is a challenging task because for someone to be deemed conscious, both wakefulness and awareness are required. Awareness has traditionally been assessed by examining physical responsiveness but in 2010, Monti et al. explored how using fMRI to measure brain activity in humans could help reclassify the state of consciousness in these patients. The findings, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, show that some brain regions are active when patients respond to an imagery or communication task. This is a seminal study because it demonstrates that patients who behaviourally appear to be in a vegetative or minimally conscious state may still have residual brain functions that would not be apparent from a clinical examination alone. Notably, it exemplified how fMRI can be repurposed as a communication tool for this subset of aware, but ‘locked in’, patients who appear unresponsive. From an educator’s perspective, this paper is valuable because it is relevant to a broad audience, both introductory and advanced level undergraduate students. It introduces key concepts in cognitive and clinical neuroscience and encourages students to consider the connections between social issues and technology development in neuroscience. Finally, educators may use this paper to discuss and debate the nature of consciousness and the ethical implications that the use of fMRI for determining consciousness may have on medical ethics.
Culture-specific items in the source and target literary texts: Classification of translation strategies

Published: January 2024

The study deals with the representation of culture-specific items in Jojo Moyes' novels 'Me Before You', and 'After You' and their rendering in Ukrainian translations. The article specifies the role of culture-specific vocabulary as a means that adds necessary socio-cultural details to the setting making the above mentioned novels facts of the English-language (mainly British and American) culture. The research proves that numerous in number are the following groups of culture-specific items: toponyms; types of food, drinks and places to eat; anthroponyms naming famous people, film and fairy tale characters; companies, brands and organisations; mass media. Low in number are items designating education phenomena, persons’ titles and nominations, measurement, dwelling, sports, events, toys, and currency. The research also employs the notions of translation strategy and distinguishes between domesticating and foreignising ones used in order to render culture-specific lexis in a literary translation. Translation techniques of transference (direct borrowing, transcoding, transcoded substitution) and calque are viewed as components of foreignising strategies, whereas generalisation, descriptive periphrasis, cultural equivalent alone or accompanied by a footnote are viewed as implementation of domesticating ones. The study demonstrates that translation techniques representing domesticating and foreignising strategies can be combined in order to preserve their balance in the target text.
