Authors: Lin Peihan
Published: July 2024

Debussys Pagodas fosters an attractive musical dialogue within the rich traditions of Indonesian Gamelan. This exploration surpasses geographical boundaries, as Debussy integrates Gamelans distinctive timbres and rhythmic intricacies into a Western piano repertoire. Through the juxtaposition of resonant tones and percussive elements, Pagodas becomes intriguing cross-cultural encounter. It invites listeners to navigate an intricate weave of Javanese musical influence within Debussys impressionistic language. This musical dialogue progresses organically while Debussy navigates East and West intersections. This creates a sonic tapestry that resonates with the mystique of Gamelan traditions and the haunting expression of Debussys artistic vision. Pagodas is a testament to the transformative power of cross-cultural musical conversations. In this piece, Debussys mastery transcends borders to shape a harmonious synthesis of diverse musical worlds.
Influence factors and research on higher vocational students' reluctance to advance to higher education based on random forest and structural equation modelling
Authors: Cheng Yanying
Published: July 2024

This study aims to explore the key factors influencing Chinese higher vocational students' reluctance to pursue higher education. By combining two analytical methods, Random Forest and Structural Equation Modeling, the study targeted students enrolled in Guangdong Finance and Trade Vocational College, designed a questionnaire containing various aspects such as study habits, self-perception, and internship experience, and collected 107 samples for analysis. The study found that students' personal intention to pursue higher education was the most critical factor influencing whether they chose to continue their studies, followed by the evaluation of their own learning ability and economic considerations. In addition, family cultural resources and learning environment also influence students' attitudes towards further education to a certain extent. The study also reveals the effects of the positive interaction between personal factors and family cultural resources support, and the negative interaction between personal factors and economic factors on the intention to pursue higher education. Based on these findings, the article presents recommendations for the school, family, and social levels to promote higher education students' willingness to pursue higher education and educational equity.

The Envelope of Function: Revisiting the Theory With New Concepts—A Narrative Review
Authors: Datti Iberê P. , Silva Renata , Ejnisman Leandro
Published: July 2024

Musculoskeletal injuries are a complex multifactorial phenomenon, and several factors can contribute to their occurrence. This review aimed to discuss some relevant and often unexpected elements involved in musculoskeletal injuries and rehabilitation. One of the main factors discussed is the role of physiological adaptation to training in musculoskeletal injury susceptibility. This is probably the most modifiable factor in preventing and treating musculoskeletal injuries. Other factors discussed are the role of genetics in injury susceptibility; the effect of stressors and environmental factors and the way we deal with setbacks; anabolic steroid use as aesthetic and performance-enhancement drugs; nutrition, sleeping, and the imbalance between rest, energy intake, and training; anatomic and biomechanical factors; and the role of systemic disease. Moreover, the topic of unknown factors keeps an open door for future discoveries. This review highlights the importance of understanding the various factors contributing to musculoskeletal injuries and the need for an individualized approach to injury prevention and rehabilitation, from both a historical and a physiological point of view.
The Effect of Adverse Events on Orthopaedic Surgeons: A Review
Authors: Richard Raveesh D. , Pesante Benjamin D. , Parry Joshua A. , Mauffrey Cyril
Published: July 2024

The purpose of this review was to evaluate the effect of adverse events (AEs) on orthopaedic surgeons, illustrate common ways orthopaedic surgeons deal with AEs, and describe solutions to reduce the negative effect of AEs and prevent them from recurring. AEs are common in orthopaedic surgery and increase the risk of depression, anxiety, and suicide. Orthopaedic surgeons may experience negative effects after AEs even when they are not at fault. AEs are linked to moral injury, second victim syndrome, burnout, and disruptive physician behaviors. Many surgeons deal with AEs in isolation out of fear of a negative effect on their professional reputation, potentially leading to increased psychological distress and unhealthy coping mechanisms. Healthy ways to address AEs and improve the well-being of surgeons include destigmatizing psychological stress after AEs and creating a culture of receptivity and peer support.

Authors: Zharani Mohammed
Published: July 2024

Objective: Research has demonstrated that Leptospermum scoparium possesses various thera¬peutic benefits. This study set out to determine whether or not L. scoparium extracts had any effect on the ability of HepG2 and MCF-7 breast cancer cells to survive.
Materials and Methods: The antiproliferative activity of L. scoparium extracts was explored using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide and lactate dehydrogenase assays. The most active fraction was selected to investigate its effects on apoptosis induction using flow cytometry and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The constituents of this fraction were characterized using GC-MS analysis.
Results: Research demonstrated that the chloroform fraction of L. scoparium (LSCF) significantly impacted the HepG2 and MCF-7 cancer cell lines. Treatment with LSCF led to a notable rise in both early and late apoptotic cells. Furthermore, there was an upregulation in the mRNA levels of P53, Bax, and caspases, while the expression of Bcl-2 mRNA saw a decrease. The analysis of LSCF revealed the primary components to be cis-calamenene, beta-eudesmol, cyclododecane, and alpha-muurolene.
Conclusion: The study showed the promising antiproliferative activity of L. scoparium, suggesting its potential application for cancer treatment.

Objective: Infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV) is responsible for causing infectious laryngo¬tracheitis (ILT), which is a rapidly spreading and extremely transmissible disease in chickens. The current research aims to isolate and characterize ILTV from layer chickens in Bangladesh.
Materials and Methods: A total of 345 samples (trachea, larynx, and lungs) were collected from ILT-suspected dead and sick layer chickens of 32 ILT-suspected farms in three different outbreak districts (Gazipur, Tangail, and Mymensingh) of Bangladesh during the outbreak year 2021-2022. Rapid detection kits examined the samples for avian influenza virus (AIV) and Newcastle disease virus (NDV). ILTV-specific primers were used to screen 72 NDV- and AIV-negative samples by poly¬merase chain reaction (PCR). Using chorioallantoic membrane (CAM), the study isolated the ILT virus from 9 to 10-day-old seronegative embryonated chicken eggs (ECEs) using selected PCR-positive samples. The virus was confirmed using nucleotide sequencing, agar gel immunodiffusion test (AGIDT), viral neutralization test (VNT), and pathogenicity evaluations using mortality index for chicken embryos (MICEs) and intra-tracheal pathogenicity index (ITPI).
Results: The results indicated that among the PCR-positive 10 samples, only two (Alim_ILT_1001 and Alim_ILT_1,000) were found positive using ECEs. There were two field isolates of ILTVs, as shown by the amplicon size of the ICP4 gene-based PCR. A phylogenetic study of the ICP4 gene revealed that the recent isolates have a close similarity with the ILTV isolates of Turkey, Bangladesh, and Australia. AGIDT revealed strong precipitation lines due to ILTV-specific antibod¬ies reacting with field viruses, while VNT neutralized both isolates with conventional ILTV antibod¬ies. The pathogenicity testing indicated that Alim_ILT_1001 had MICE and ITPI values of 0.77 and 0.63, whereas Alim_ILT_1,000 had 0.71 and 0.57.
Conclusion: Both the ILTV isolates have similarities with the isolates of Turkey, Bangladesh, and Australia, and they are highly virulent for chickens.

Objective: Newcastle disease virus genotype VII (NDV-GVII), an extremely infectious pathogen, has been causing severe economic consequences for the chicken industry. The current study aimed to isolate and characterize NDV-GVII from commercial chickens in Bangladesh during a recent outbreak.
Materials and Methods: From clinically suspected chickens from 70 commercial poultry farms, a total of 420 samples (trachea, lungs, and brain tissue) were collected. The samples were cultivated in 9–10 day-old seronegative embryonated chicken eggs (ECEs) after evaluating them using the rapid Newcastle disease virus (NDV) antigen detection kit. The hemagglutination (HA) inhibition test, agar gel immune diffusion (AGID) test, molecular detection by reverse transcription-poly¬merase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and phylogenetic studies using gene sequences of fusion (F) pro¬tein. The HA pattern of isolated NDV was determined using different avian and mammalian red blood cells (RBCs). The pathogenicity of the isolated virus was evaluated using mean death time (MDT), intravenous pathogenicity index (IVPI), and intracerebral pathogenicity index (ICPI).
Results: The study found 87 NDV samples positive using the rapid NDV Ag detection kit and then 60 positives for virus isolation in ECEs. All 60 isolates were positive for NDV by HI, AGID, and RT-PCR. Phylogenetic tree analysis indicated that recent NDV isolates belong to genotype VII and exhibit a similarity of 99.7%–98.5% with isolates from Bangladesh, Iran, and India. The new iso¬lates, identified as velogenic strains of NDV, possess an F protein cleavage site with 112-R-T-K-R-F-117 amino acid motifs. The isolated NDV showed diversified HA activity while using RBCs from birds and mammals. The results of ICPI, IVPI, and MDT indicated that the recent NDV isolates were very virulent.
Conclusion: This study concluded that NDV-GVII is prevalent in commercial poultry farms in Bangladesh.

Published: July 2024

Objective: Bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) disease is a viral infection in cows caused by a sin¬gle-stranded plus-sense RNA virus of the Pestivirus genus under the Flaviviridae family. The clini¬cal manifestation of BVD mainly includes diarrhea and immunosuppression, thereby exacerbating various respiratory diseases. This study was conducted to detect and molecularly characterize the bovine viral diarrhea disease virus (BVDV) in cattle on selected farms in Selangor, Malaysia.
Materials and Methods: A reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed for antigen detection in 253 plasma samples collected from cows using a cross-sectional study design. We selected the 5 untranslated regions (5’-UTR) region and the E2 region to compare the genetic differences between the isolates.
Results: One sample was found to be positive (1/253) following RT-PCR targeting the conserved 5’-UTR region of BVDV. Thus, BVDV antigen prevalence was 0.40% (95% confidence interval: 0.0%–2.2%). By targeting the hypervariable E2 region of the isolated virus, UPM/MAL/BVDV/D17, the virus was classified under the subgenotype BVDV-1a.
Conclusion: BVDV is present and circulating on selected cattle farms in Selangor, Malaysia. Given the presence of BVDV in several subgenotypes, the screening of all incoming cattle at Malaysia’s border is pertinent to prevent the entry of other BVDV subgenotypes into the country.

İnsan Kaynakları Yönetimi Araştırmaları İçin Sosyal Teorinin Sunduğu Olanaklar: Norbert Elias ve “Uygarlık Süreci”
Authors: Man Fuat
Published: July 2024

Norbert Elias, tarihin kuş bakışı ile bakıldığında bir yöne doğru eğilimli olduğunu düşünür. Elias, Batı toplumları bağlamında bu yönelime “Uygarlık Süreci” demektedir. Bu bağlamda, Orta Çağ’dan 19. yüzyıla kadar saray toplumu çevresinde adabı muaşeret davranışlarındaki değişime odaklanmakta ve çok basitçe davranışların gitgide inceldiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Elias, ‘magnum opus’u olan Uygarlık Süreci’nde bu değişimin dinamiklerini ortaya koymaya çalışır. Bu analizi hem sosyolojik hem de psikolojik temellere dayanarak yapar, nitekim bu her iki disiplinin önemi kitabın alt başlığında da vurgulanır. Elias her ne kadar kuramını makro bir bağlamda ortaya koysa da onun kavramları örgüt araştırmaları ve insan yönetimi araştırmaları için de başvurulabilecek kavramlar niteliğindedir.
Elias, kuramsal çerçevesinin temeline bazı merkezileşme eğilimleri ile artan kesişimsellikleri koyar. Buna göre ulus devletlerin oluşumu ile sonuçlanan vergi tekeli ile şiddet kullanma tekeli bir yandan; doğal ekonominin yerini alan para ekonomisinin üzerinde durduğu işlevsel bölünmenin artması ve dolayısıyla da karşılıklı bağımlılıklarla çıkarların artması ise diğer yandan uygarlık sürecinin gelişimini beslemiştir.
Bu çalışmada Elias’ın bu kuramı ile İKY tarihindeki bazı gelişmelerin okunabileceği gösterilmeye çalışılacaktır. Özellikle Bruce E. Kaufman’nın İKY tarihini açıklamak üzere başvurduğu değişkenler setinde yer alan devlet regülasyonları, Elias’ın kuramındaki merkezileşme eğilimlerinden birisi olarak yeniden okumaya tabi tutulacaktır. Böylece İKY tarihinin erken evrelerinde, bir meta olarak görülen insanın, uygarlık sürecinin bir yansıması olarak günümüzde ana akım İKY’de bir değere dönüşmüş olduğu gösterilmeye çalışılacaktır.

Published: July 2024

It is known that the Luciola parvula fireflies clearly emit the lights at regular time intervals and synchronization between multiple males are observed, but the details of synchronization have not yet been clarified. Presently, we took videos of the luminescence phenomenon of multiple male Luciola parvula fireflies and performed a correlation analysis on the details of the time change of the luminescence brightness of each male Luciola parvula fireflies. The 12 Luciola parvula fireflies are kept in glass wells so that each Luciola parvula fireflies can only moves in restricted areas and their luminescence is recorded by a digital movie camera at the video rate of 30 fps. According to the preliminary study, each glimmer lasts about 3 frames and thus the time series brightness is fitted by a parabolic function in order to give a precise timing of maximum brightness. First of all, time intervals between glimmers of each Luciola parvula fireflies are evaluated. Secondly, the glimmer correlation between different Luciola parvula fireflies are investigated. As a result, it was clarified that the light emission cycle of Luciola parvula fireflies is almost constant at 0.54 seconds, more than 70% of all light emissions are synchronized and the order of synchronization is almost fixed with very small delay. Consequently, it has been shown quantitatively that the glimmers of male Luciola parvula fireflies are well synchronized.
Experimental Investigation Of The Gas-Liquid Interface And Flow Field Dynamics Near The Contact Line In An Immersing Flat Surface
Authors: Rigutto Damien , Lecomte Yannick , Buchlin Jean-Marie , Scheid Benoit , Mendez Miguel Alfonso
Published: July 2024

Dynamic wetting is fundamental to many coating processes. In hot dip galvanization, an unstable contact line can generate wetting defects and air entrainment in the coating, limiting the quality of the final product. While the literature focuses mainly on capillary-viscous flows, which are amenable to analytical treatment, some configurations, such as dip coating, operate in inertia-dominated conditions. This work presents an extensive and unprecedented experimental characterization of the interface and contact line dynamics on a surface entering a liquid bath in inertia-dominated conditions using laser-induced fluorescence (LIF). Moreover, we complement the analysis with particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) underneath the gas-liquid interface to study the interaction between the liquid flow and the free surface. Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) of the interface displacement is presented and analyzed in combination with the velocity field dynamics, enhanced by physics-constrained Radial Basis Functions (RBFs).

Published: July 2024

Emotion detection plays a crucial role in human-computer interaction, affective computing, and psychological research. Traditional methods of emotion detection often rely on manual annotations or subjective assessments, which can be time- consuming and prone to biases. In this paper, we propose a Deep Learning-Based Emotion Detection System that leverages advanced neural network architectures to automatically recognize emotions from facial expressions in real-time. The system utilizes convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for feature extraction from facial images and recurrent neural networks (RNNs) for sequence modeling of temporal dynamics in facial expressions. Our proposed system addresses key challenges in emotion detection, including variations in facial expressions, lighting conditions, and occlusions. By training on large-scale datasets of labeled facial images, the system learns to accurately classify emotions into predefined categories such as happiness, sadness, anger, fear, disgust, and surprise. We evaluate the performance of the system using standard metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score, demonstrating its effectiveness in real- world scenarios. The results indicate that the Deep Learning-Based Emotion Detection System achieves state-of-the-art performance in recognizing emotions from facial expressions, outperforming traditional methods. The system's ability to analyze facial dynamics in real-time opens up opportunities for applications in human-computer interaction, virtual reality, mental health monitoring, and personalized user experiences.

Published: July 2024

Manusia sejak kecil sudah mengenal dan memperoleh bahasa. Bahasa bagi manusia digunakan sebagai alat komunikasi dengan sesama. Bahasa ibu merupakan bahasa pertama yang digunakan oleh peserta didik ketika dalam proses belajar, meskipun santriwati dengan santriwati lainnya sama-sama berbahasa pertama, mereka tidak menggunakan bahasa daerah untuk berinteraksi selama pembelajaran berlangsung. Oleh karena itu, peran bahasa dalam kehidupan manusia sangat penting. Bahasa bagi manusia diperoleh dari interaksinya dengan sesama manusia maupun melalui proses pembelajaran. Sebagaimana yang diterapkan di Pondok Pesantren Wali Songo Ngabar Ponorogo, sebagai salah satu pesantren yang turut mengembangkan pembelajaran bahasa Arab bahkan digunakan untuk berinteraksi dalam kehidupan sehari-hari.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an ubiquitous opportunistic pathogen having numerous virulence factors and the ability to acquire multidrug resistant traits. This study aimed to determine the presence of the virulence genes algD and lasB in multidrug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from clinical and environmental samples within Maiduguri. A total of 200 samples were collected from four sources namely; Farm soil at root region of groundnut, abattoir waste water, commercial boreholes and urine of urinary tract infected patients. All positive growths on cetrimide agar were further identified biochemically. Antibiotic profile of confirmed Pseudomonas aeruginosa was determined using Kirby-Baeur disc diffusion method. The genes algD and lasB were detected in the multidrug resistant isolates. The result also showed that 90.90%, 81.81% and 81.81% of the urine isolates were resistant to nalidixic acid, chloramphenicol and tetracycline respectively while highest sensitivity was observed against amikacin at 81.81%. Highest resistance among environmental samples was observed in abattoir wastewater with 95.24% resistance to chloramphenicol while least resistance was observed in borehole isolates with 0.00% resistance to Gentamicin, Amikaicin, Meropenem and Aztreonam. According to the findings of this study also, there is no significant difference in habouring virulence genes among the isolates of the different sources. All the multidrug resistant isolates were found to habour both algD and LasB genes. In conclusion, P. aeruginosa was found in all of the studied sources and widespread of algD and LasB genes in the multidrug resistant isolates from all the sources.

Turkey, as most countries in the world, is increasingly employing public diplomacy methods to promote its interests and to reach foreign audience in order to create soft power. In order to understand the neo-Ottoman ideology and the practices used by Turkish public diplomacy institutions in the attempt to influence foreign audiences and create soft power, we will analyse, in the present paper, the way in which neo-Ottoman ideas and theses have been inserted into various activities and actions subsumed under public diplomacy, and we will identify the regions in different areas of the world where public opinion has become a target group.
The Justice and Development Party (AKP) has made public its foreign policy goals, including that of increasing its influence in Muslim societies in the Balkans, the Caucasus, Central Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Considering the mentioned aspects, the paper explores the way in which AKP uses the instruments and institutions specific to public diplomacy to promote a neo-Ottoman ideology and to organise a foreign policy that reflects Ottoman imperial times.

The emergence of the aircraft as a means of combat has changed both the strategies and the tactics of waging wars, determining in a relatively short time major changes at the level of the forces doctrines, organization and training, their management, as well as command and control arrangements. At the same time, the aircraft has proved to be an important vector of progress and human civilization in the technical, economic, social and cultural fields, playing an important role in both war and peace. The ability of the air force to fulfil its role in a war or in military operations depends on the science and skill in harnessing the components of air power. The evolution of these components over time is reflected by the history of military art, which highlights both continuity and tradition as well as innovation. Moreover, it points out the similarities and differences, draws the necessary conclusions, which, filtered by military thinking, give the opportunity to formulate new rules and principles to be inserted in military doctrines and regulations, in training and education plans, as well as in economic development strategies and policies, including the defence and aeronautical industries, both civilian and military. The Romanian aviation has adapted, since the first use of the aircraft as a weapon, to the new reality of the battlefield, and this article is aimed at presenting the evolution of the concepts of its use in the first half of the 20th century, the principles of the use of aviation in battle, as well as the lessons learned following the participation of the Romanian military aviation in the campaigns of the two world conflagrations. To meet this purpose, the method of studying historical documents is employed.

Published: July 2024

Given the plasticity of the current geopolitical environment and the increasingly visible concern of NATO and the EU related to security in the Black Sea region in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the present article adopts a multidimensional approach to assess regional risks and threats. The paper begins by providing a comprehensive overview of the current security situation, focusing on diverse challenges that include both conventional and hybrid threats. Drawing on a diverse range of academic sources, policy documents and security analyses, and employing an empirical qualitative research approach, this study examines the factors that contribute to regional instability, such as territorial disputes, military buildup and hybrid threats.
An essential point of this article is Romania’s role in addressing the identified risks and threats. The analysis investigates Romania’s position as a NATO and EU member state and its contributions to regional security initiatives. In addition, it highlights the importance of inter-institutional cooperation and coordination for strengthening Romania’s resilience in the face of complex security challenges. Overall, this article provides not only a comprehensive analysis of the security landscape in the Black Sea region, but also valuable insights into the potential paths that future developments could take.

In the Russian-Ukrainian war, there was a change in the weight of the use of some weapons in military actions. The very intensive use of ground artillery is observed. It is estimated that about 70% of Ukrainian military casualties are caused by Russian artillery fire, which is an extraordinary component of the armed forces. The Institute of Strategic Studies (IRUSI) in London notes the accuracy, but especially the short reaction time (up to three minutes) of this weapon.
For the Ukrainians, the JAVELIN anti-tank missile and the highly accurate HIMARS systems (error of only 10m from the target) were very effective in hitting some infrastructure elements and warehouses of ammunition and logistical materials. As a result, the Russians had to move some of their warehouses deeper.
A significant share is the drones used intensively by both sides, mainly the BAYRAKTAR (Turkish origin) by the Ukrainians and the SHAHED (Iranian origin) by the Russians.
The Changing of Post-Cold War Global Order: New Centers of Power Are Emerging – The Shift Towards a Multipolar Period

The post-Cold War period, which began in the early 1990s and was generally considered a unipolar stage, with the United States as the only superpower, has passed into a new phase, largely, due to the global consequences of Russia and China’s actions, marked by the events generated by Russia from 2006 until 2014 and in particular by the triggering, on 24 February 2022, of a new unprovoked war against Ukraine, a country invaded for the first time in 2014 and partially occupied for almost nine years but also by China’s actions in the South and East China Sea. The last decade and, in particular, the recent period is characterised by a global strategic competition between the US, China, and the Russian Federation and the alliances they belong to, accelerated by the Ukraine war and the tensions in the Indo-Pacific region, with consequences, among others, on the aspects regarding international order and defence-related aspects to the global strategy. BRICS has firmly committed to promoting the interests of the Global South, to creating a new more inclusive international order, forcing major structural changes to global and regional security architectures. Thus, a conflict of interests emerges between the actions and the role of the US, as a superpower, in the world arena and the actions of China and the Russian Federation, mainly to create a highly multipolar global situation and to evolve as a regional and global hegemon.
Fighter Jets for Ukraine: A Reality Check

After several NATO countries agreed to supply Ukraine with tanks after months of wrangling, the Ukrainian government is intensifying its demands for Western-style fighter jets. However, even with a few Western jets, Ukraine would hardly be able to destroy the powerful Russian air defence systems. In addition, and more importantly, Western fighter jets place enormous demands on infrastructure and training. A delivery decision would primarily be a political signal of long-term support for the country. However, it would not have any impact on the battlefield at this point in time. With the pressure on western states to deliver these weapon systems, the fears of a further escalation of the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine are increasing. There is concern that Ukraine would use Western combat aircraft to bomb targets on Russian territory, which, in turn, could push Vladimir Putin to further escalate the conflict. However, even though Ukraine has already attacked targets on Russian territory without resorting to aircraft, this specific risk of escalation is overestimated. Even if the risk of escalation from Ukrainian airstrikes on Russian territory is low, a number of other factors speak against the delivery of Western combat aircraft to Ukraine in the near future. Although these are primarily of a practical and not political nature, they nevertheless make it difficult to rebuild the Ukrainian air force with modern fourth-generation jets in the near future

The evolution of the regional security environment determined the change of perspective in the elaboration of the military strategies regarding the threats faced by Romania. This retrospective analysis aims to highlight, on the one hand, the dynamics of the main threats to Romania as a result of the trends of the regional security environment, starting with the first military strategy after joining NATO until the present, and, on the other hand, to emphasise the imprint produced at the strategic level as a complementary document to the Romanian National Defence Strategy. Thus, the purpose of this research is to emphasise the amplification and complexity of threats over time as a result of the tightening of the security environment, a fact that highlights the current interdependence of threats and their transformation from autonomous elements into aspects that can no longer be analysed, in the present, in functional isolation. Likewise, the retrospective analysis also emphasises Romania’s role within the North Atlantic organisation, starting with the implementation of NATO strategic concepts within the national military strategies. If, at the beginning of 2007, Romania identified itself as a state concerned with aligning with NATO standards regarding the transformation processes of the Romanian Armed Forces, in 2016, Romania appeared as a credible state within the Alliance, and in the 2022 NATO Strategic Concept, Romania had a special strategic importance in the context of the war in Ukraine in the Black Sea region.
