"Green" economy: the trend of time or competitive tool? Based on example of the Republic of South Korea
Authors: Pavelescu Cezara
Published: July 2024

În ultimii câțiva ani, cuvântul „Verde” a fost găsit într-o utilizare amplă, de la un pigment biologic la o implicație economică largă. În mod tradițional, verdele este folosit pentru a reprezenta Natura. Având o atenție sporită acordată mediului în ultimii câțiva ani, ca răspuns la amenințarea crescândă a schimbărilor climatice, nu este surprinzător să se solicite o abordare universala orientată spre natură, care ar putea proteja în egală măsură mediul, precum și mijloacele de trai. Cu toate acestea, opinii contra există, de asemenea, un număr mare, care și-au manifestat rezervele în această utilizare pe scară largă a cuvântului „Verde”, bazată pe întrebarea etică învechită dacă va deveni o nouă abordare inteligentă pentru țările industrializate de a acumula bogăție sau este cu adevărat util pentru a ne proteja natura supra-degradată?

Implementing the ideas of green economy: government level and business level
Authors: Efros Maria
Published: July 2024

Întrucât mediul înconjurător și starea acestuia devin teme din ce în ce mai proeminente în ziua de astăzi, e necesar de adoptat un șir de măsuri care să aibă ca scop implimentarea economiei verzi – o economie care presupune asigurarea dezvoltării economice a țării în ritm adecvat, în timp ce nivelurile de emisii de substanțe nocive, respectiv - nivelurile de daune aduse mediului sunt minime și nivelul de trai al populației este luat în considerație. Scopul acestei lucrări este de a indentifica metodele prin care diferite instituții, anume guvernele și întreprinderile, se pot implica în implimentarea economiei verzi și ce acțiuni sunt luate în aplicate la fiecare nivel. După analiza documentară a materialelor care enumeră și descriu particularitățile implimentării conceptelor economiei verzi la cele două nivele și a datelor privind contribuția fiecărui tip de instituție la dezvoltarea sustenabilă, am ajuns la concluzia că raza de acțiune a deciziilor fiecărei instituții e diferită, iar dimensiunea impactului unei instituții asupra mediului și a economiei nu depinde în totalitate de categoria instituției, ci și de felul de prioritizare a problemelor ce necesită intervenție, astfel organizațiile non-guvernamentale prezintă o contribuție la progresul evoluției sustenabile în marime de 61%, pe când guvernele naționale – 7%.

The problem of forecasting tax revenues in the context of the post-pandemic period and the energy crisis in the Republic of Moldova
Authors: Leașoc Olivia
Published: July 2024

The energy crisis represents the situation in which the energy needs cannot be covered due to the decrease in the resources of oil, coal, electricity. It is very important to forecast from the start the revenues arising from this crisis in the context of the post-pandemic period in order to make an analysis and a statistic for the future in the economy of the Republic of Moldova. This crisis leads to an increase in the price of energy resources and implicitly an increase in the price of products, due to additional expenses. The current energy crisis has multiple causes: the lack of resources, the increase in consumption in developing countries, economic conflicts, but also the neglect of the environment by some large companies. Consequently, all countries in the world are affected to a lesser or greater extent.
Rolul ratei de actualizare socială în procesul de decizie a proiectului
Authors: Garea-Ciobanu Vladalina , Bodorin Jaclin
Published: July 2024

The selection and implementation of projects is a complex process that involves various stakeholders and factors. One of the critical elements in this process is the evaluation of costs and benefits associated with the project. Cost-benefit analysis is a widely used method for evaluating the feasibility of projects. A crucial component of cost-benefit analysis is the discount rate, which is used to calculate the present value of future costs and benefits. However, the traditional discount rate approach does not account for the social impacts of a project, which can lead to inequitable outcomes. The social discount rate is an alternative method that incorporates social considerations into the decision-making process. This paper explores the role of social discount rate in the project decision-making process. We examine the concept of social discount rate, its application in cost-benefit analysis, and its implications for project evaluation. We argue that the use of social discount rate is critical in promoting sustainable development, ensuring equity, and enhancing the welfare of society. Our findings suggest that incorporating social considerations into project evaluation can lead to more informed and socially responsible decision-making.

Particularități contabilității în cluburile de fotbal
Authors: Grosu Maria
Published: July 2024

Football has become a profitable industry in recent decades, attracting millions of spectators. This paper analyzes the economic impact of football and its accounting and financial reporting. In most industries, human resources are treated as an expense or cost, but in football, players are seen as valuable assets. The paper examines the unique accounting and financial reporting practices in football, including the recognition and treatment of player contracts, information included in financial reports, and the financial reporting standards used. Clubs must meet specific financial criteria, including compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards, to be licensed and participate in national and international competitions. Proper payment management is crucial, as overdue payments can result in severe consequences for football clubs, such as legal action, point deductions, fines, and even license refusal. The accounting of football clubs operates based on player contracts rather than the players themselves, and the paper explains how intangible assets, such as player contracts, are recognized and reported in financial statements.

Drepturile personale legate de identificarea persoanei
Authors: Doroș Diana
Published: July 2024

Personal rights related to the identification of the person are internationally recognised rights in the European Convention on Human Rights. Thus, the right to a name, the right to domicile and the right to marital status are expressly stipulated. According to the ECHR, all these rights are included in the right to respect for private life, which is also enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic of Moldova. The institution of personal identification is complex and important because of its very applicability in all branches of law, where the person is in a legal relationship and has rights and obligations. We believe that respect for these rights arises from the need for a legal order in all the situations in which a person finds himself in the course of his life.
Light pulses in the micropropagation of Corymbia torelliana (F.Muell.) K.D.Hill & L.A.S.Johnson x Corymbia citriodora (Hook.) K.D.Hill & L.A.S.Johnson clone: in vitro elongation and rooting

LED lamps emit light in specific spectrums, significantly enhancing the quantum efficiency of photosynthesis (QFP) and, consequently, plant growth and development. Corymbia citriodora, Corymbia torelliana, and some of their interspecific hybrids are being incorporated into clonal forestry programs. However, a major bottleneck in propagation is related to rooting. This study aimed to analyze the effects of light pulses with different spectral qualities on the in vitro elongation and rooting stages, using micropropagation techniques in a hybrid clone of Corymbia torelliana x Corymbia citriodora. Four light sources were utilized: (2F) fluorescent, (LED V+/A) red (99%) + blue (1%), (LED V/A+) red (1%) + blue (99%), and (LED V/A) red (72%) + blue (28%). The treatments compositions consisted of combining these light sources with different exposure durations of 7, 14, 21, and 28 days (without pulse), totaling 13 treatments. After 28 days of cultivation, the explants were evaluated based on the following parameters: survival (%), contamination (%), callogenesis (%), rooting (%), culture medium oxidation (%), shoot length (cm), and plant vigor (scores from 1 to 3). The results indicated that the lowest oxidation rate of the culture medium occurred with the V/A+ LED light source after 28 days. However, this result did not directly affect vigor or in vitro development. Additionally, under the tested conditions, using V+/A LEDs (a higher proportion of red) for 7 days stimulated shoot growth and root emission, leading to the best in vitro development.
Role of Media vis-a-vis Visibility and Inclusivity of Sexual Minority in India in the Light of Human Rights
Authors: Hadiya Khan  , Dr. Pankaj Tyagi
Published: July 2024

The contribution of news media in the present scenario cannot be emphasised enough. Dubbing it as the fourth estate, is quite apt, when it comes to the immense impact the media has had in all spheres of life. Whether it be in form of provider of factual accounts, investigative reporting or as a watch-dog or mobiliser of collective will and opinion, its contribution in a democratic set-up keeps on evolving. On the same parity, all the progressive societies, characterised through democratic establishment, can effectively flourish only when its citizens are ensured their human rights. An individual cannot attain its optimum potential if he/she is denied the bare minimum rights. The members of the sexual minorities in India have faced much discrimination and harassment due to their non-conforming sexual identity and gender. The present article aims to examine the role that media has played in recent times in making the LGBTQ community more visible in the country, and providing the much-needed inclusivity and acceptance to the community.
Güvenliğin Biyopolitikası, Immunitas ve Uluslararası İlişkiler
Authors: Birol Ali Fuat
Published: July 2024

Uluslararası İlişkiler literatürü en başından beri iç ve dış sınırlar arasında karmaşık bir ilişki olduğunu varsaymıştır. Erken dönem post-yapısalcı yaklaşımların gösterdiği üzere, ana akım teorilerdeki iç/dış ikilemi temelde güvenli iç mekânın güvensiz olduğu varsayılan dış mekândan ayrılmasına dayanan belirli bir güvenlik anlayışıyla bağlantılıdır. Bu klasik güvenlik anlayışı, devlet ve toplum arasında güvenliğe dayalı belirli bir ilişki biçimi kurar ve meşrulaştırır. Literatürde askeri kapasitelere odaklanan geleneksel yaklaşımlardan, güvenliği ekonomik, sosyal ve çevresel boyutları da içeren daha geniş bir perspektifte inceleyen çalışmalara doğru belirgin bir kayma yaşanırken, güvenliğin modern toplumsallaşma biçimleriyle ilişkisi güvenlik tartışmasının ana odağı olmadığı görülmektedir. Foucault'nun "güvenlik aygıtı" olarak adlandırdığı yeni iktidar biçimi, bir dizi siyasi rasyonalite, epistemoloji ve ontoloji aracılığıyla güvenlik ilişkilerini iktidar mekanizmalarına ve uygulamalarına içselleştirmesi sürecinin izini sürer. Bu da güvenlik ve modern toplumsallaşma biçimleri arasında belirli bir ilişki biçimine yol açmakta, güvenlik mekanizmaları modern toplumda içselleşen bir arda yaşam pratikleri, epistemolojiler ve sosyal kurumları olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışma, Esposito'nun immunitas kavramı üzerinden toplumun ve bir arada yaşama pratiklerinin bir güvenlik mekanizmasına dönüşümünü analiz edecek ve modern toplumun bir "bağışıklık mekanizmasına" dönüşümü üzerine bir tartışma zemini oluşturmaya çalışacaktır. Böyle bir tartışma, devlet egemenliği ve toplumsal pratikler arasındaki ilişkinin farklı bir perspektiften incelenmesi ve tartışılması potansiyelini öne çıkaracaktır.

Authors: Marfo Solomon A
Published: July 2024

Emissions are among the key contributors to air pollution in our world today. This paper focuses on assessing the exhaust emission of dieselpowered light vehicle engines and generators in line SDG 13, using Tarkwa a mining community in Ghana as the case study. Emissions such as carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2 ), nitrogen oxides (NOx), volatile organic compound (VOC), and hydrocarbon (HC) for 20 light vehicles and 20 generator sets that are powered by diesel fuel for mining operation were monitored using AutoPlus vehicle exhaust analyser and MiniRAE Lite system. The results obtained were analysed and compared with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Optimal Performance Standards. The emission monitored for the light vehicles and generator sets passed all the EPA requirements except three generator sets which recorded higher values than the required 400ppm for NOx emission. None of the generator sets and light vehicles monitored met the air-to-fuel ratio value of 1, though they were close and in the range of 0.813 and 0.990, the CO2 values recorded were below the ideal value of 15.5% for a perfectly working engine as specified by the Optimal Performance Standards. The exhaust emissions monitored conformed to the requirement set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of Ghana. This confirms the quality of diesel fuel used in Tarkwa, especially those supplied for mining operations

Authors: Subedi Dhruba , Bhandari Dilli Ram
Published: July 2024

The Nepalese stock market is characterized by emerging market dynamics and notable volatility. It is influenced by factors such as regulatory developments, economic conditions, and investor sentiment, shaping its growth trajectory and investor behavior. This study examines the influence of psychological factors on investment decisions within the Nepalese share market, emphasizing the mediating role of financial literacy.  To achieve the stated objective, data were collected from the primary source using a structured questionnaire administered through random sampling technique. The respondents comprised 410 individual investors inside the Kathmandu Valley. The SmartPLS 4.0 was used to analyze the structural relationships within the proposed theoretical model. The findings of this study validated the set hypotheses that psychological factors have positive and significant effect on investment decisions among the investors in Nepalese share market. In the context of Nepal, where the share market is characterized by volatility and emerging market dynamics, these psychological biases often lead to suboptimal investment choices. Findings indicate that investors with higher financial literacy levels are better equipped to mitigate the adverse effects of psychological biases, leading to more rational and informed investment decisions. The study highlights the critical need for enhanced financial education programs to empower investors and improve overall market efficiency. By understanding the interplay between psychological factors and financial literacy, policymakers and financial institutions can develop targeted strategies to foster a more stable and resilient investment environment in Nepal.
Nâng cao độ chính xác định vị, định hướng của hệ thống tích hợp GNSS/IMU với điều kiện ràng buộc hướng từ vectơ chuyển động của máy thu GNSS
Authors: Dương Thành Trung
Published: July 2024

Hệ thống dẫn đường vệ tinh toàn cầu (GNSS) ngày nay được sử dụng một cách rộng rãi cho các công tác đo đạc bản đồ, định vị và dẫn đường. Tuy vậy, với các ứng dụng yêu cầu truy xuất dữ liệu cao và liên tục như dẫn đường cho máy bay không người lái, đo đạc thủy hải văn và hệ thống lập bản đồ di động thì thông tin chỉ từ GNSS là chưa đủ. Để khắc phục vấn đề này, một giải pháp tích hợp giữa GNSS và cảm biến quán tính (IMU) đã được áp dụng. Giải pháp tích hợp này cho phép cung cấp đồng thời thông tin về vị trí, vận tốc và phương hướng của phương tiện mang GNSS trong không gian 3 chiều. Tuy nhiên, với hầu hết các ứng dụng dân dụng, IMU giá thấp thường được sử dụng, điều này dẫn đến độ chính xác của hệ thống bị hạn chế. Với mục tiêu nâng cao độ chính xác của giải pháp tích hợp GNSS/IMU, bài báo này đề xuất tích hợp thêm tham số hướng từ véc tơ chuyển động của máy thu GNSS trong hệ thống tích hợp GNSS/IMU giá thấp. Các kết quả thực nghiệm cho thấy rằng giải pháp đề xuất giúp cải thiện độ chính xác định vị, định hướng một cách đáng kể so với giải pháp tích hợp thuần túy.
An efficient approach of in vitro plant regeneration and propagation of Mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek]
Authors: Bhajan Sujay , Hasan Mohammad , Rahman Md , Sarker Rakha , Islam Mohammad
Published: July 2024

Mungbean [Vigna radiata L. (Wilczek)] is a valuable legume crop in Bangladesh. However, it faces severe difficulties forming viable roots during the growth stage. The successful root production of mungbean through an efficient tissue culture system has not been well established. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the problem of unsuccessful root formation in mungbean plants and to develop a very efficient method of in vitro regeneration using micropropagation. The BARI Mung-3 mungbean variety was used as an explant. Several shoots were produced from cotyledonary node (CN) explants obtained from 3-day-old seedlings that were germinated in vitro. The plant samples were cultivated on MSB5 medium enriched with 5.0 μM BAP. Shoot generation efficiency per plant was 5.36 ± 0.56 (80.08%). However, the viable root generation in a regulated setting was unsuccessful despite employing multiple combinations of rooting media, including full and half-strength MSB5 medium with different concentrations and combinations of auxins. To resolve this issue, a micrografting approach was applied with scion 3.0 cm in length and 14-day-old mungbean rootstocks. This system resulted in efficient shoots where the viable root generation efficiency rate was 55%. Interestingly, the micro-grafted plantlets successfully produced viable seeds. The successful micropropagation with viable root generation in mungbean plants successfully overcomes the difficulties in rooting and offers an efficient method for successful mungbean production. These new findings open new options for efficient plant generation with mass propagation for ready-smart mungbean production.

Thus, as an institution, it should also serve a wider purpose of general good for the society. It is uncontested and incontestable that corruption is an obvious evil that hinders economic and political development of the society. The goal of this article is to examine the recent case law, in particular the judgments rendered in France and in England over the last two years, dealing with the arbitrators’ duty to combat corruption and the judicial review of arbitral awards on the ground of public policy, which includes the fight against corruption. The differences in approach between national judges to annulment of or refusal to enforce arbitral awards based on allegations of corruption shed light on the importance of the choice of the seat of arbitration.
Conflicts Between Directives and Tax Treaties: Which Obligation Takes Precedence? Three Perspectives
Authors: Vergouwen Mees
Published: July 2024

Since 2014, directives in the area of direct taxation may include an obligation to tax income. This article examines the question of which obligation should prevail in the event of a conflict between a directive’s obligation to tax and a tax treaty obligation not to tax. This question of precedence is considered from three different perspectives: the international law perspective, the national law perspective and the European law perspective. This article concludes that the international law perspective, taking into account the national law and European law perspectives, appears to be, essentially, decisive (except for those EU Member States that can override, as a matter of national law, tax treaties). Based on this conclusion, it is recommended that tax treaties that (may) conflict with directives be renegotiated. The purpose of such renegotiations could be to include a subordination clause pursuant to which the tax treaty does not apply insofar as its application is incompatible with a particular directive or Union law obligations in general.
The Possibility of Legal Standing for FTA Partners under Article 263 TFEU
Authors: Bracke Matthias
Published: July 2024

The EU has concluded many international agreements with third states. Since the EU is not a state, it cannot act as a party before the International Court of Justice (ICJ), either as an applicant or as a defendant, which means that the enforcement of these agreements must be regulated through Dispute Settlement provisions in the agreements themselves (though, depending on the subject of the dispute, a procedure within the framework of the WTO is also possible). However, the Court of Justice might have opened the door for a new enforcement possibility in its Venezuela v. Council judgment, where it ruled that Venezuela – a third state – could have legal standing before the Court on the basis of the fourth paragraph of Article 263 TFEU. This article will analyse whether third states could have access to the Court, in order to seek annulment of an EU legal act that potentially violates a provision of an international agreement that the third state had previously concluded with the EU. It will do so by looking at the ratio decidendi of the Court in Venezuela v. Council, and by analysing the conditions of direct and individual concern, the potential exclusionary effects of Dispute Settlement provisions in international agreements, and the need for direct effect of these agreements. For a variety of reasons, the article will mostly focus on Free Trade Agreements (FTAs).

Bu makale ekonomi alanında farklı dönemlerde gündem olan enflasyon konusunun uluslararası insan hakları hukuku açısından Avrupa bölgesi özelindeki karşılığının Avrupa İnsan Hakları Sözleşmesi ve Avrupa İnsan Hakları Mahkemesi kararları kapsamında nasıl ele alındığı sorusundan hareketle yazılmıştır. Makale içerisinde, öncelikle enflasyon kavramı ve Avrupa İnsan Hakları Sözleşmesi kapsamında enflasyondan devletlerin sorumluluğu konuları ele alınmıştır. Enflasyonun para ve fiyat istikrarı ile ilişkisi nedeniyle Avrupa İnsan Hakları Sözleşmesine Ek 1 Numaralı Protokol’ün 1. maddesindeki mülkiyetin korunmasıyla bağlantısı bulunmaktadır. Bu bağlantı ortaya koyulduktan sonra, Avrupa İnsan Hakları Mahkemesinin enflasyonu ele alış biçimini açıklığa kavuşturabilmek için, bir hak olarak mülkiyetin korunması ve enflasyon Avrupa İnsan Hakları Mahkemesi kararlarına konu olmuş çeşitli olayların hangi konular bağlamında ele alındığı sınıflandırılarak incelenmiştir. Avrupa İnsan Hakları Mahkemesi her ne kadar enflasyonun etkisini dikkate alarak bu etkiye karşı bir miktar koruma sağlamış olsa bile enflasyonun etkisini tam olarak ele almamış veya bu etkinin mülkiyet hakları üzerindeki sonuçlarını değerlendirmek için açık ve net kriterler oluşturmamıştır.

Objective: To describe added vitamin and trace-mineral concentrations used in the US swine industry for breeding and growing pigs. Materials and methods: A convenience sample survey of nutritionists from 18 US swine production systems representing approximately 2.3 million sows or 40% of the US sow herd was conducted to characterize added vitamin and trace-mineral concentrations in swine diets. Data were compiled by dietary phases to determine descriptive statistics. Nutrients evaluated were vitamins A, D, E, and K; biotin; choline; folic acid; niacin; pantothenic acid; pyridoxine; riboflavin; thiamin; vitamin B12; betaine; vitamin C; carnitine; copper; iodine; iron; manganese; selenium; zinc; cobalt; and chromium. Questions about supplementation of vitamin D from a cross-linked vitamin AD3 beadlet, potential use of natural (d-alpha-tocopherol) vitamin E as a source of vitamin E, and the use of chelated trace minerals were included. Results: Results indicated variation, but most vitamins and trace minerals were included at concentrations above the total dietary requirement estimates reported by the National Research Council (2012). Chelated sources for partial or complete supplementation of copper, manganese, or zinc ranged from none to 46% and none to 77% for chelated selenium across diet type. The chelated sources were more prevalent in breeding-herd and nursery-pig diets. Implications: Adding a margin of safety for vitamin and trace-mineral supplementation appears to be standard practice in US swine diets. This survey provides a baseline for supplementation rates of the vitamins and trace minerals used in the US swine industry.

Objective: Fluid overload leads to increased mortality in critically ill patients and patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Recently, sonography has been used for assessing fluid overload. In the present study, it was aimed to compare the relationship between lung ultrasonography (LUS) and inferior vena cava (IVC) measurements with each other and with the amount of ultrafiltration (UF) in the evaluation of fluid burden among patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) and UF. Methods: The assessments of the lung and IVC were conducted sonographically both before and after HD three times a week. The lung was evaluated in a total of 12 zones using the LUS scoring system. Inferior vena cava was also examined subcostally, and as well as the collapsibility index, the minimum and maximum diameters of IVC were calculated. Results: The study was composed of 40 patients. After HD, a decrease was observed in the total LUS score, the anterolateral LUS score, and the diameters of IVC. A weak-to-moderate correlation was found between the reduction in total LUS score and the UF (r= +0.387, p=0.014), as well as the decrease between the anterolateral LUS score and the UF (r=+0.321, p=0.022). However, no correlation was found between the IVC measurements and UF. The average amount of UF was found to be 2410 mL. Conclusion: This study observed a decrease in LUS scores and IVC measurements post-hemodialysis compared to pre-dialysis values. While LUS scores correlated with UF, no correlation was found with IVC diameters. This suggests that, although effective in assessing fluid overload, IVC measurements may not adequately evaluate rapid reductions in fluid volume. Additionally, examining the total or anterolateral lung regions proves beneficial for assessing pulmonary congestion. Keywords: Lung ultrasonography, inferior vena cava, hemodialysis, ultrafiltration
