The Relevance of Defence Expenditures as an Indicator of a Country’s Military Power
Authors: Constantinescu Maria
Published: August 2020

The level defence expenditures is a useful indicator for cross-country comparisons and for the analysis of the trends regarding defence expenditures per country, region or groups of countries. Decision makers often refer to past trends for defence expenditures or the level of defence expenditures for a perceived enemy country to justify political decisions. Still, the data regarding defence expenditures should not be considered the ultimate indicator regarding a country’s military strength and decision makers should be aware of the limitations and underlying assumptions of the methods used to quantify defence expenditures. The most used methods of estimating defence expenditures are based on the exchange rates and the purchasing power parity, with several advantages and disadvantages. While these type of statistics do offer a broad image on the defence expenditures of other countries, they are not a substitute for more in-depth analyses regarding the security and defence environment, the real military strength of perceived foes and a sound strategy for the long term development of the own forces.
Study on Practices on Reputational Risk Management in the Banking System
Authors: Iuşan Cristina , Moşteanu Dănuţ-Eugeniu , Moşteanu Ruxandra
Published: August 2020

This paper explores the definitions surrounding reputational risk in banking with the purpose of identifying the reputational risk factors and the efficient management that can forecast, minimize and evaluate them. Although the concept is not new, only recently has the banking system started to acknowledge the true implications of a negative reputation and has begun to focus on how to find ways to prevent and mitigate this risk. Before the last economic collapse, the banking management had used to have more knowledge about financial risks than about the non-financial ones, the reputational risk had been neglected or even confused with other types of risks. After the crisis it became critical to be aware of hazards that could cause reputation damage in order to develop a framework for managing reputational risk prior to an issue. The banking system has realized that reputation is the most valuable asset and has begun to invest in elaborating a proper risk management strategy.

Authors: Rădoiu Alina
Published: August 2020

The theory of sustainable development shows an international dynamic evolution and more and more countries develop socio-economic development methods and techniques, whose main objective is to ensure a balance between economic, social and environmental aspects. Romania is working to ensure a sustainable future, implementing various strategies that aim to transform our society into a truly sustainable and modern one. The analysis of sustainable development indicators can be a solid basis for periodic monitoring progress in achieving the strategic sustainable development goals. The present paper aims to analyze the steps that Romania takes in this process of transforming the economy into a sustainable one and its challenges according to the trends of sustainable development indicators. From the economic point of view, for Romania the economic growth does not have to be a purpose itself, because the economy must work for people and the planet. Therefore, sustainable development and the well-being of citizens must be at the center of the actions, and to achieve these goals the great challenge of our country is the combination of dimensions such as environmental sustainability, increased productivity, equity and macroeconomic stability. The long-term economic challenges related to climate change, digitization and demographic developments must be addressed through a growth model, which will allow to maintain economic competitiveness and achieve the goal of climate neutrality.

The transformation processes of society in recent years, the transition to post industrialism and the knowledge society are all challenges for the education system and training. Along with providing access to education, to gain a highly qualified level, the relevance and quality of training of learners has become significant. In this context, quality assurance in vocational education and training, acquires new meanings and involving new institutional roles. Education more than any other area involves opening and to include social and cultural systems in all their complexity, their knowledge and analysis, comparison between forms of training between different educational systems, association and dissociation operated with lucidity and objectivity. Being a teacher means having a major awareness of responsibilities, shaping the young generation for the study, discovering their personal way, their vocation, their own sense in relation to world, profession, becoming the a human for society. The teacher cannot be trapped in an unique formula of education and cannot ignore the diversity of pedagogical approaches in teaching.

The main and basic resource of each organization is the people, who work in it. That is why greatest attention should be paid to studying issues connected with management of their behaviour during work and motivation for their activity. The employees are the ones that create the production of the organization and although machines and appliances have become “rulers” of many technological processes, the human’s role in the organization not only hasn’t decreased but is constantly increasing. People working in the companies in the modern dynamic development of economy are very important but also costly resource. That is why people working in the organization are main object of management by the governing body.The problems for ensuring the health and safety at work of the company’s employees should constantly beat the attention of the higher management and of the specialized department for health and safety at workin compliance with the Health and Safety at Work Act and the company’s policy in this field.
Bitcoin, the Mother of all Bubbles or the Future of Money?
Authors: Dragoe Sebastian Ilie , Oprean-Stan Camelia
Published: August 2020

Crypto currencies have sparked great interest lately not only among regular people, billionaires and Wall Street, but it also caught the attention of national and global financial regulators across the world. In this article, we try to answer the following questions: what is bitcoin? It is money, a mean of payment, a huge bubble or just a way to evade taxes, launder money and fund illegal trade? We will answer these questions by testing whether bitcoin is a bubble with the help of right-tailed ADF tests and analyzing if the price of bitcoin has experienced shocks. We identify bitcoin price shock when the price of bitcoin is above its Hodrick-Prescott trend plus one standard deviation. Also, we will analyze if bitcoin fulfils the roles of money and if itself or a stablecoin like Libra can attain an important place within the international monetary system. We will also research the potential risks associated with the adoption of Libra, especially in poorer countries. Despite Bitcoin and Libra’s weaknesses, an advantage is that they insist on the necessity of faster and cheaper cross-border funds transfers 24/7, 365 days a year.
Financial Statements Forecast
Authors: Florea Gabriela Cristina
Published: August 2020

This article focuses on theoretical aspects and practical examples for establishing the value of financial statements using percent-of-sale method. The financial statements are a result of the financial forecast made by the company, mainly those related to the evolution of the turnover and the changes in the external environment and of the hypothesis based on the correlations that can be established between the balance sheet items and the turnover. The calculations performed, based on different working hypotheses, have the consequence of establishing funds demands/surplus, as well as some possible ways of attracting new resources or using the new funds. The first hypothesis considers the direct correlation between fixed assets, current assets, total debts and the evolution of the turnover. The second hypothesis starts from the premises that only the debts of the suppliers are directly correlated with the turnover. The third hypothesis is that, within the limits of production/performance capacity, the turnover can be changed without changes in the volume of fixed assets. We determined in all three hypotheses the gap of assets and liabilities and consequently established the additional funds demand specifying possible sources of coverage or the surplus and how to use it. The purpose was to establish the consequences for each case.

At present, due to the current project of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, with regard to tax base erosion and profit shifting (OECD BEPS), as well as with regard to the impact of global fiscal reforms in development, in transfer pricing, fiscal authorities are the ones in control in relationship with companies. Within this context, the present study presents and analyses the influences of the transfer pricing current environment at European level in the case of Romanian companies. Realizing a detailed and deep documentation of the existing scientific literature in this field and using a comparative data analysis lead to the conclusion that the diminishing in impact of these influences may be accomplished by the finding of new solutions by multinational companies through which they should manage accordingly the associated risk of transfer pricing and prevent the eventual misunderstandings with regard to fiscal authorities.
The Architecture of the Public Procurement System in Romania
Authors: Popa Ioan-Gabriel
Published: August 2020

Nowadays, the field of public procurement has evolved both in terms of the conceptual approach and in terms of the design of a reliable and effective public procurement system. All public institutions or public bodies belonging to the European space are struggling to cope with the budgetary constraints imposed by the reduction of oversized public spending and the increasing public pressure, in order to make public procurement more transparent in the sense of using public money. On the other hand, experts in the field of public procurement are facing another problem, namely the emergence of new technologies that are constantly developing and generate difficulties related to the qualitative choice of products, works or services, new challenges in the development and conclusion of commercial agreements, and especially difficulties in observing the environmental norms. From the perspective of the contracting authority, they are increasingly basing their activities on the online environment for public procurement, using this field in order to reach the economic objectives. The public procurement system has the general meaning of principles and rules in relation to the purchase of products, services or works based on special contracts, i.e. public procurement contracts, completed by a community. As the public body is represented by the state through its institutions, it can be stated that this system administers, manages and controls all public institutions in relation to the way of spending public money through the contracts concluded between the state and economic agents.

Published: August 2020

The article contains an analysis on a topic that is and will always be important for the simple reason that any topic, change, opportunity or financial restriction with direct or indirect repercussions on the population of a nation will be in the interest of the citizen. And I refer to the citizen in the general way, because the European funds, one of the many good consequences of the great economic union of which we are a part, namely the European Union, aims to increase in each area whose contribution to the gross domestic product can become significant. Private or state environment, company or simply citizen, anyone can become the beneficiary of a project funded by European funds. The proof of this fact is the analysis of the absorption of funds on each operational program. Developing or covering deficiencies in areas of strategic importance, such as infrastructure, can lead to the raising of other areas in the chain and ultimately to the increase of the standard of living and economic growth.

Authors: Ṭḯrlea Mariana Rodica , Popescu Agatador Mihaela
Published: August 2020

The IMM INVEST type of reimbursable financing is a top-up loan formula, materialized in the granting of bank loans granted to micro-enterprises under the national legislation applicable to investments and working capital. In order to benefit from this financing, the wishing companies must go through two stages: a pre-contractual stage in which the registration on the electronic platform created for this purpose takes place, in which the companies must prove that they fall into the category of micro-enterprises and the contractual stage. In order to meet the eligibility conditions in the contractual phase, micro-enterprises will be subject to the verification of administrative compliance and the techniques and methods for verifying financial soundness. Beneficiaries of such loans will benefit under the state aid scheme from various forms of government support materialized in supporting the costs of financing 100% from the state budget, until the end of 2020 with the possibility of extension, which will help them to re-launch itself from a financial and economic perspective.
Opinions Regarding the Principle of Promoting with Priority the Superior Interest of the Child in the Regulation of Law No. 272/2004 and the Romanian Civil Code
Authors: Drăghici Aurelia Teodora , Murgu Andrei , Bodoașcă Teodor

The study is devoted mainly to the logical-legal analysis of the provisions of art. 2 of Law no. 272/2004 on the promotion and protection of children’s rights, as well as art. 263 of the Civil Code, which establish the main normative solutions regarding the “priority promotion of the principle of the best interests of the child”. Although the phrase “the best interests of the child” is used in the construction of many rules of Law no. 272/2004, the Civil Code and other normative acts, the legislator refrained from establishing its significance, leaving this approach to the doctrine. The proposed study is intended to be a contribution to achieving this goal. We were also concerned with the identification of normative inaccuracies and the substantiation of pertinent proposals of lege ferenda for the improvement of the regulations regarding the principle of promoting with priority the principle of the best interest of the child.

Authors: Georgieva Gergana , Simov Yavor , Nikolova Reneta
Published: August 2020

This article explores some national security issues within the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) case-law. At this juncture, there have been numerous challenges facing national security, especially whether it should contradict or guarantee individual rights. The paper mainly scrutinizes Article 6 and 8 ECHR focusing on two significant cases of the European Court of Human Rights: Rotaru v. Romania and Leander v. Sweden. The first case deals with the violation of the right to a fair trial and an effective remedy as well as breaching the right to privacy. The second case concerns the storage of data regarding the private life of an individual and if this collection might be used for employment research aims for grounds of national security. The study shows that states have a wide margin of discretion when choosing the manners in which they make decisions to protect their national security. The few indications identified in the jurisprudence of a number of states in connection with the right to privateness covered by the paper feasibly fail to meet the criteria of legal certainty necessary to guarantee the proper functioning of the rule of law.

Some Issues on Public Procurement Principles
Authors: Ivanova Albena
Published: August 2020

Public Procurement regulation is mainly justified by economic considerations. The reasons for this are based on the assumption that through the introduction of competitiveness in the respective markets of the Member States, their liberalization as well as integration will follow. As an essential part of the Internal Market, one of the main goals of Public Procurement is to guarantee the free movement of persons, goods, services and capital, which is accomplished specifically through transparent procedures in which participants are placed on equal and non-discriminatory terms. The purpose of this article is to show how the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union fills in a gap in the EU law regarding Public Procurement due to a lack of explicit regulations on some issues.
Legal Regulatory Framework of Cooperative Principles
Authors: Vodenicharov Asen
Published: August 2020

Cooperatives are an essential structural element of national economies. They contribute to the sustainable and intensive economic growth and to the promotion and development of social market instruments. Due to their specific principles of organization and functioning, cooperatives are distinguished from all other forms of corporate typology, as well as from the state bodies, the nonprofit legal entities etc. Their characteristic features are manifested at national and cross-border European level. The principles on the basis of which cooperatives develop their activities and differentiate them from other organizational and legal establishments are emphasized in a number of acts of the European Union such as Council Regulation (EC) No 1435/2003 of 22 July 2003. The Statute for a European Cooperative Society (SCE) points out that their activity is based on „the specific features of cooperatives” and that „cooperatives are primarily groups of persons or legal entities with particular operating principles that are different from those of other economic agents”. The article analyzes the national legal frameworks and the European regulatory framework of the cooperative principles: voluntary and open membership, democratic member control, member economic participation, autonomy and independence, education, training and information, cooperation among co-operatives and concern for community.

The relationships between them as well as those in the context of the normative regulation of cooperative values are explored.

Authors: Voynova Ralitsa
Published: August 2020

In a digital age when national borders are not a barrier to offenders, access to electronic databases, often located in several countries, is required for a thorough criminal investigation and the correct resolution of a large number of criminal cases. The collection of information stored by cloud and telecommunication service providers for criminal prosecution purposes inevitably addresses issues of personal rights and freedoms. The CJEU has clarified that any restriction on the right to private life and data protection must be consistent with the requirements of legality, necessity and proportionality provided for in EU law. This study analyzes the compliance of the latest EU legislative instruments on a transnational collection of electronic data tothe European human rights standards and the principles of criminal justice.

This article will cover issues related to the subject matter, parties and their rights and obligations when conducting e-commerce and distance selling within the European Union. E-commerce and distance sellingare particularly important within the EU, not only because there are sufficiently well-developed mechanisms to ensure the functioning of the internal market. E-commerce is distinguished as a separate segment in commercial activity. Nowadays the importance of E-commerce and distance selling grows every day. In this modern world of technology, e-commerce is becoming a very important option for many businesses as there are lots of companies that are interested in developing their online stores. Furthermore, in times of pandemics like COVID-19, E-commerce has proven to be significant. I describe different types of distance selling and consumer protection. The main policy objectives for consumer protection can be divided into three broad categories that correspond to different phases in the relationship between the operator and the user. One of the main roles for customer protection is the payment system who provides a way of transferring value between different parties in the economy and to facilitate transactions at minimal cost. The legal framework is presented with a focus on the tax effects of e-commerce in the European Union.

The article aims to present the role of reading aloud in a foreign language class. Why is this ability to read important in student learning? What is its place and function in learning? How? ‘or’ What to do so that reading aloud can serve expression not only oral but also written? We assume that learning foreign languages is very useful for those who need to acquire basic communication skills in a short period of time. Nevertheless, it must also be appropriate for those who learn the foreign language with a professional purpose, and who will have to communicate correctly and to pronounce well in specialized contexts. We consider reading aloudto bea good technique for memorizing certain information over the long term. In addition, it opens up a cultural, social and emotional dimension of the language. Unfortunately, this activity has been wrongly overlooked. Therefore, in the first section of the paper, we will try to rehabilitate the reading aloud activity in the foreign language class. The next section discusses the implications and benefits of reading aloud for advanced students. The final section presents activities and objectives of reading aloud, as well as certain strategies used to facilitate the initiation of spontaneous speech and communication.
Some Controversial Aspects Regarding Indoctrination
Authors: Bumbuc Ştefania
Published: August 2020

The paper presents and analyses two facets of a controversial educational reality, emphasising the presence of this duality also in the military education. A lot of scholars argue that indoctrination is a reprehensible psycho-pedagogical action, because an indoctrinated person is no longer able to think independently. This is the exact opposite of education and ideals of education, which aim to endow people with rationality, autonomy and cultural openness. Other scholars, even some of those mentioned, admit that education necessarily involves a certain dose of indoctrination of young people, in order to ensure the preservation of the values of communities and organizations. In order to be able to function as a unit and fulfill its missions, the military institutions turn to indoctrination to some extent, proposing and imposing values and desirable ways of behaving on its people. This controversial educational practice must be made aware and kept under control in order to prevent major deviations.
Reading Comprehension for ESL Students. Processes of Perceiving Texts
Authors: Ciocoi-Pop Maria-Miruna
Published: August 2020

In an ever-increasing competitive academic setting, university students are striving for proficiency in their skills of foreign languages. This paper aims to highlight the significance of reading comprehension for students of English as a second language. Reading comprehension is a cognitive process, in other words, reading a text means processing and decoding it. Reading proficiency is linked to numerous aspects, such as age, cognitive processes, abilities, knowledge of the foreign language, etc. It goes without saying that the experience of reading a text, be it literary or non-literary, is more enjoyable without the need to constantly look up unknown words. This brief study also tries to show whether there is a direct connection between finding contentment in reading and comprehending the texts itself. Since reading is a key-skill verified in all major language exams, it is crucial for the ESL class, and not only, to include reading comprehension processes. Like any other skill, reading comprehension can be trained, as long as it is perceived as a procedure which requires the student’s commitment. Reading comprehension is a mechanism of phrase and concept identification, as well as of decoding meanings. Thus, this paper tries to emphasize the implications of reading comprehension and of teaching reading comprehension methods in the overall linguistic knowledge of ESL learners.
Future Education within Disruptive Technologies Developments
Authors: Herţanu Codrin-Leonard
Published: August 2020

Our contemporary world is on the verge of crucial changes of an unparalleled pace. The ‘technological changeover’ is the new paradigm caused by the unprecedented evolution of the disruptive technologies. The present world has the tendency to evolve at least exponential, therefore future educational environment is fairly different than its present layout. An entire array of nowadays studies widely recognizes that the progress of the disruptive technologies will pose a meaningful impact over the educational system evolution. Among the most spectacular technologies with disruptive features we should encounter Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain Technology, Cloud Computing, and the like. In an era of technological disruption the education is seen as the new currency. With the help of Artificial Intelligence, for instance, the education system could track how people learn from kindergarten to retirement. Besides, the technology domain will move the centre of gravity from the institutional area to that of the education’s beneficiaries, as we might expect that they will recruit and employ the needed teacher staff, not the institutions. Moreover, the education’s recipients will be the main creators of tomorrow’s professions and within their community the overarching events will happen and the main decisions will be taken in the educational domain.
Education of Children in the Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte
Authors: Mihailă-Lică Gabriela
Published: August 2020

The paper analyses the manner in which the education of children was done in the beginning of the 19th century and how this is revealed in the pages of “The Tenant of Wildfell Hall”, the second and also the final novel written by the English writer Anne Bronte, the youngest of the famous Bronte sisters. Despite enjoying enormous success after its publication in 1848, after its author’s death, Charlotte Bronte - Ann’s eldest sister - refused to republish it. She considered it to be too shocking as it dealt with themes like alcoholism, the ability of women to have paying jobs that enabled them to support not only themselves, but also their families, themes that were considered taboo or the “inhibited, polite, orderly, tender-minded, prudish and hypocritical” Victorian society [1]. We focus on the observations as well as on the subtle mentionings and allusions made in the novel with regard to some of the most important aspects of the Victorian Era education: the schooling of children, the differences between the education of boys and that of girls, the educational differences between the social classes.

Published: August 2020

This paper brings in front of the interested researchers using one of the most known and used meshfree method, Element-Free Galerkin (EFG) method, in modelling of a technological process. It is about the deep drawing process of thin plates made of steel or aluminium. The paper gives information both for EFG method and for deep drawing process. The modelling as well the results are presented in a comparative way towards the using of Finite Element Method (FEM). The numerical analysis is based on the Ansys/Ls-Dyna program, in which EFG method is implemented. This numerical method is less known in our country and much less used, in spite of some advantages comparatively with the FEM. Of course, the EFG method is still under developing, but it can be successfully used in many problems. This paper is a proof in this sense and an urge to use the EFG method.
Wi-Fi Jamming Using Software Defined Radio
Authors: Sârbu Annamaria , Neagoie Dumitru
Published: August 2020

In this article we present software defined radio (SDR) instrumentation used for interfering or jamming Wi-Fi networks. A Wi-Fi network analyzer application was used together with a low cost, commercially available SDR, Hack RF one, to conduct aimed interference on a 802.11 b/g/n network. A GNU radio flowchart was used to control the radio transceiver (SDR) by emitting a jamming signal aimed towards the targeted client by means of a directional antenna. Various signal bandwidths and distance from the targeted device were tested to characterize the adequate parameters of an effective jamming signal with respect to the calculated signal to noise ratio (SNR). Jamming efficiency was evaluated by means of a Wi-Fi connectivity speed test application installed on the targeted device, in order to measure connectivity degradation if complete jamming was not possible. Results presented suggest that Wi-Fi jamming is possible by means of SDR technology, providing insights on the methodology used and initial optimisation procedures in the test environment.

Authors: Vatamanu David , Miclăuş Simona
Published: August 2020

The paper proposes the use of MATLAB simulations as a first step in identifying proper antennas to be used in specific ultra-high frequency (UHF) communication links. Giving that fractal antennas provide interesting features, we aimed at comparing a few of their significant parameters with those of a monopole antenna so as to ensure signal coverage between two real sites situated at 5.82 km distance in a mixture of urban and flat – open terrain conditions. We started from the requirements imposed to the return loss of the antenna and to the link margin, we established their desired thresholds and then computed solutions regarding which antenna type in the set provide the highest received power and on which frequency sub-bands can be successfully used. The studied fractal antenna set were from the series Koch, Koch loop and Sierpinski. The chosen radio link refers to a real situation on the map. Generally, different narrow bands were provided by each antenna regardless of its type, but still, comparing them with the monopole, better solutions could be identified.

ABSTRAK

Dalam politik, studi perbandingan politik memiliki dua peran sekaligus yaitu :  yang pertama, studi perbandingan politik sebagai teori, dan kedua, peran studi banding politik sebagai metode. Studi perbandingan politik sebagai teori lebih mengarah pada sekumpulan generalisasi yang terkait secara sistematis, sedangkan studi perbandingan politik sebagai metode lebih mengarah pada proses atau prosedur yang melibatkan penggunaan teknik dan instrumen. Metode membandingkan sistem politik menggunakan satu per satu deskripsi memiliki struktur lemah karena orang cenderung tidak dapat menciptakan hubungan antara isu-isu organisasi saat ini dan administrasi posisi sistem politik secara tepat. Tulisan ini bermaksud membangun kesadaran  sekali lagi tentang bagaimana melakukan perbandingan terbaik antara satu negara dan lainnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menciptakan jembatan untuk menghubungkan antara kerja sistem politik, masalah yang ada dalam organisasi menganalisis kasus struktural menggunakan metode perbandingan politik tidak bisa hanya membandingkan struktur yang berbeda.

UTICAJ STRESA NA PRODUKTIVNOST I KARIJERU ZAPOSLENIH
Authors: Tufegdžić Milena
Published: August 2020

Pojam stresa na radnom mestu može se definisati kao niz za pojedinca štetnih fizioloških, psiholoških i bihejvioralnih reakcija u kojima zahtevi posla nisu u skladu s njegovim sposobnostima, mogućno­stima i potrebama. Analiza se zasniva na utvrđivanju nivoa stresa kod zaposlenih, zatim proučavanju njegovog uticaja na produktivnost i karijeru zaposlenih. Produktiv­nost se odnosi na način kako zaposleni obavlja svako­dnevne radne zadatke, dok se kaijera odnosi na celokupno poslovno delovanje u jedinici vremena. Namera autora ovog rada je da se utvrdi povezanost između ovih pojmova. Cilj istraživanja je utvrditi da li i kako stres utiče na produktivnost i na karijeru zaposlenih?

Glavni proces tretmana otpada obuhvata ispi­ranje organskih jedinjenja iz komunalnog otpada i koriš­ćenje ove tečnosti za kao hrana za anae­robni digestor, odnosno za proizvodnju biogasa. Ostatak otpada se ae­robno kompostira. Da bi se poboljšala početna hidroliza organskog otpada, moguće pokrenuti postupak na višim temperaturama (npr. 55°C). Bilo je neophodno izvoditi nekoliko simuliranih procesa na me­zofililnim i termo­filnim uslovima određivanje masene i energetske ravno­teže procesa u zavisnosti od toga. Rađeno je na tome da ceo sistem bude automatizovan uz minimalnu asistenciju ljudi.
