Analysis of Gas-Geodynamic Phenomena During the Preparatory and Mining Works in Seam 358/1 at KWK “Budryk”
Authors: Zmarzły Marian , Schubert Michał , Salamon Krystian 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
The nature of gas-geodynamic phenomena is so complicated and unpredictable that it forces the necessity of continuous search for new principles of identifying the outburst threat and ongoing monitoring of this threat with view of current conditions in the mine. After the incidents in JSW S.A, the mines carrying out works in seams threatened with outbursts, upon their own initiative introduced additional rigours and increased the frequency of measurements and tests regardless of the existing legal requirements. Incidents that have taken place in KWK “Budryk” in recent years show how important is continuous verification of knowledge related to the forecasting of the outburst threat on the basis of ongoing observations of works. The local occurrence of a zone characterized by high methane-bearing capacity in the coal seam, even after taking preventive measures and introducing additional rigorous did not allow for the complete elimination of gas-geodynamic phenomena and avoidance of danger to employed people.
The Analysis of Effectiveness of Conveyor Belt Tensioning Systems
Authors: Kulinowski Piotr , Kasza Piotr , Zarzycki Jacek 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
The publication presents the evaluation of the effectiveness of belt tensioning systems based on the results of model laboratory tests. The types of tensioning devices most commonly used in industry were selected for testing: winch, gravity, pneumatic and follower. The evaluation of the efficiency of belt tensioning devices is complex, as the tensioning system is not autonomous and is only part of the belt conveyor equipment. Therefore, the publication presents the impact of belt tension force on the durability of basic conveyor components such as the belt and its joints, and drums. The characteristics of the tested belt tensioning devices are presented and the construction and research capabilities of the laboratory model of the belt conveyor are described. Measuring systems mounted on the conveyor are described in detail, enabling recording of variable conveyor operating conditions, measuring belt speed, driving force and belt stress. The results of the research are the experimental static characteristics of the most commonly used tensioning devices, which show the relationship between the drive moment and the belt tensioning force. Obtained characteristics will allow the development of guidelines for the design and selection of the most effective belt tensioning devices.

Authors: Dyczko Artur , Rychter Rafał , Bosowski Adam , Konsek Jarosław 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
The publication presents the assumptions of the unification process of machines and equipment produced by Jastrzębskie Zakłady Remontowe Sp. z o. o. and operating at the coal mines of the JSW Capital Group. It outlines a solution adopted by JZR Sp. z o. o. addressing this issue. The authors identify the potential benefits of the process to the entire Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa Capital Group, but they also mention the risks that may arise during its implementation. The publication also presents the first results of the unification, observed on the basis of the unified equipment and machinery of the coal clearance system for transporting people, coal and materials, which has already been put into operation in underground mining excavations. It also includes a chapter devoted to the influence of the unification on the development of “technical thought,” i.e. on the innovativeness of the equipment for transporting people, coal and materials newly produced by Jastrzębskie Zakłady Remontowe Sp. z o. o. which are to be implemented in the near future. New, innovative solutions are presented, which were introduced both in the unified transport devices such as chain and belt conveyors and in devices cooperating with them, i.e. lump breakers, pushing devices and other accessory equipment for the conveyors.

The Study of Factors that Caused High Profitability of Russian Fisheries in 2014-2016
Authors: Mnatsakanyan Albert , Kharin Aleksandr 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
The purpose of the research is to find the reasons that led to unusually high profitability in Russian fisheries in 2014-2016. The analysis showed that the main driver of profitability growth is the growth of domestic prices for fish and fish products, which outstripped the overall food inflation. Governmental support for fishing led to a rapid increase in fishing rent, which was almost entirely appropriated by fishing companies. But such a basis for the growth of Russian fishing is unstable in the medium and long term.
Hearing Religious Music. The Subject-Object Relationship of the Listener and the Piece of Music in a Consumption Era
Authors: Reitsma Oane 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
In a concert hall, the attitude of the audience focusses on the formalistic aspects of music. In religious rituals, music is a means of leading the hearer to a spiritual experience. What happens when music, meant originally for a liturgical purpose, is played in a concert setting? Gadamer shows, with his conception of Verwandlung ins Gebilde, that an art work is never static, but carries a depth in itself, which is connected to an artistic ingenuity throughout centuries. In this ‘depth’ lies the connection to the listener, which is broader than a mere aesthetical one. On the other hand, music in itself has a strong ‘theatrical’ side, which can easily surpass its contemplative aspect in consumer culture. It appears that this aspect, in combination with the formalistic-aesthetic approach of modern museum culture, of which concert culture is a part, made the hearer become almost ‘deaf ’ to the religious content; because a concert practice focusses primarily on entertaining the hearer, s/he is not able to engage in the music as a source of spiritual edification of the soul. Nevertheless, Gadamer’s conception of play makes us be aware that there will always be new, unexpected ways in which the truth comes into being in the interaction of a piece of music and its hearer. In order to create such a reality, it is necessary to turn to new and renewing hearing practices, where the play between music and the hearer has a wider range of musical experience than the mere formalistic aspect.
Dramaturgical and Theological Issues Involved in Producing and Staging a Play in Jerusalem about the Disputation of Barcelona
Authors: Valier Yael 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
In the context of the launch of a new theater company whose mission is to bring entertaining theological content to audiences in and around Jerusalem, Roy Doliner’s Divine Right was chosen as the company’s first production. This play about the Disputation of Barcelona balances historical accuracy and creative dramatic content in a satisfying and intellectually honest portrayal of the events of the Disputation for educated lay audiences. Many theological and dramaturgical issues arise, especially in producing a play with a high level of Christian content and theology for mainly Orthodox or at least traditionally educated Jewish audiences. English speaking audience members in Jerusalem tend to be well-informed, both on the historical level and on the level of Jewish law and mores. This makes them exacting viewers, critical of inaccuracies of history or interpretation, wary of challenging positions but mostly willing to learn, and delighted by thorough research and characterization. This paper examines the technical, dramaturgical, and theological issues that arose during this production for the playwright, director, actors, and audiences.
Nahmanides’ Astrological and Religious Thinking and the Views of the Contemporaneous Catalan Christian Sages
Authors: Valls-Pujol Esperança 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
This paper examines the astrological and religious thinking of Moshe ben Nahman (also known as Ramban or Nahmanides) and the intellectual connections in this field with two of the most outstanding Christian thinkers of his time, Ramon Llull and Arnau de Vilanova. Nahmanides, like many medieval scholars, admitted an astral influence, but he did not accept astrology as a divinatory science. He incorporated astrological doctrines in his exegetical works, assuming that Israel is not determined by any star because it only responds to God. Yet the study of medieval medicine and its application cannot be separated from astrology practice because it was considered that the stars had a direct influence not only on the development of the human body, from birth to death, but also in the disease processes which affect it. Ramban and his disciple Solomon ben Adret accepted and practiced astrological medicine. Llull and de Vilanova also devoted themselves to this discipline. All of them agree on the influence of the stars on humankind but condemned astral magic. Like Ramban, Llull rejects other astrological methods considered non-scientific in his time, such as prediction through horoscope. Thus, these thinkers tried to develop an astrology that was not in contradiction with divine omnipotence or free will.
The Hebrew Sources of Tortosa’s Disputation
Authors: Bianchi Francesco 
Published: August 2020

AbstractThe Disputation or Cathechesis of Tortosa with its sixty-nine sessions (February 7, 1413-November 12, 1413) was the longest of the Jewish Christian encounters in the Middle Age. Stirred by the Avignonesian Pope Benedict XIII, Geronimo de Sancta Fide, olim Yehoshua ha-Lorki, summoned a group of Catalan and Aragonese rabbis to inform them that the Messiah was already came. Not only the Papal notaries recorded the excruciating debates, but also two Hebrew sources: the anonymous and fragmentary letter published by Halberstam in 1868 and the chapter 40 of the Shebet Yehuda. They encompass the first nine sessions carried out orally, before the Pope requested for written texts to be debated lately. Since these sources disagree on many details, this paper aims at examining them anew. That examination has shown that the anonymous account is more accurate than the fictional report of the Shebet Yehuda as far as the internal chronology of the sessions, the speeches of the Jewish delegates and their identities are concerned. The internal evidence leads us to subscribe with Riera i Sans in ascribing its authorship to Bonastruc Desmestre from Girona, who was at Tortosa on request of the Pope. He probably knew other Jewish chronicle and added some new materials from the Vikkuach Ramban, Salomon Ibn Verga, the author of Shebet Yehuda, built upon this chronicle and created a fictional account around Vidal Benveniste or the ‘ideal’ portrait of the Pope and added some materials from the Latin Protocols or from unknown Jewish sources.
Analysis of the correlation between the Gross Domestic Product and the final consumption of electricity
Authors: Vlăducu Liviu Valentin 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
While the economy has shown clear signs of recovery, in quantitative terms, after the moment of the global crisis, energy production has returned to the level before the crisis, only since 2011. In this context, this paperwork aims to carry out an analysis on the existence of a correlation between the Gross Domestic Product registered in Romania and the final annual consumption of electricity. The databases used involve the data recorded for the period 2000-2018. Over time, in the specialty literature, there have been two approaches regarding the link between the economic growth and the energy consumption, respectively an approach starts from the idea that in order for economic growth to occur, energy consumption must increase, and another promotes the idea that economic growth can reduce energy consumption, by applying energy efficiency measures. To perform the analysis, a simple linear regression model was initially used in which we considered the Gross Domestic Product as a dependent variable and the Electricity Consumption as an explanatory factor (independent variable). Subsequently, analysing the results, a quadratic linear regression model was used to test the hypothesis of a more complex link between the two indicators. Following the tests performed on the two chosen variables, the Gross Domestic Product of Romania and the Final Electricity Consumption, can be argued that the energy intensity of the economy increases as economic growth reaches a certain threshold. After that threshold, economic growth is associated with the relative decrease in energy consumption.
Bioeconomy’s sectors and strategies in Central and Eastern European countries. A literature review
Authors: Iureş Mugur Victor Constantin 
Published: August 2020

AbstractThis paper aims to identify and review the most important and topical scientific papers that deal with the strategies that the countries of Central and Eastern Europe apply in the bioeconomic field. In the context of a special attention paid to this sector by the policymakers, seen through the adoption of The Bioeconomy Strategy, in 2012, by the European Union and updated in 2018, it is natural to ask what is the current state of knowledge in this field? This paper treats with the sectors enclosed in this field, from agriculture to biofuels and from paper production to biopharmaceuticals, based on the scientific literature underpinnings, given that this development sector is an emerging one and the ampleness of the scientific works being limited. The methodology of this paper comprises the literature review of the main results obtained this far, in order to accomplish the foundation for further research.
Implications of Lewin’s Field Theory on Social Change
Authors: Roşca Vlad I. 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
During the Second World War, Kurt Lewin was part of a wider research team commissioned by the U.S. Department of Defense to study how dietary habits of American citizens could be changed so as to avoid protein starvation due to the lengthy war efforts. Lewin’s research on food habits can be linked to his earlier studies on social fields. This paper aims to interpret Lewin’s findings on changing dietary habits by using his very own field theory approach, in order to hypothesize how the such findings can be drivers of social change, with the findings being applicable for business management settings as well. Concepts of time and space, as well as ‘simultaneity’ and ‘psychological ecology’ are brought up to discussion in order to back up the purpose of research.
The value of knowledge management in cultural entrepreneurship
Authors: Zbuchea Alexandra 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
Although the concept seems to be self-explanatory and increasingly more people with various artistic talents or a special interest in arts & culture endeavor themselves in various business-like activities, while culture is praised increasingly more as a key towards sustainable development of the contemporary society, cultural entrepreneurship is not a familiar presence in the academic inquiries. The main associations considered when talking about cultural entrepreneurship are the ones with talent, creativity, cultural innovation. Another aspect analyzed by the literature is the relationship to financial education and skills. The relevance of all these elements is obvious. Maybe less straightforward is the need for knowledge management in the field of cultural entrepreneurship since talent and culture are in many contexts considered apart from knowledge. Nevertheless, knowledge management should be a sine-qua-non component of the business strategy of a cultural entrepreneur considering the competitive advantages it could generate. To unveil the known relationships between knowledge management and cultural entrepreneurship, the present research develops a narrative literature review. The results point out the limited understanding of cultural entrepreneurship, including the role knowledge management might play in cultural enterprises.
Tourists’ vision about the implementation of sustainable development practices in the hospitality industry in Romania
Authors: Madar Anca , Neaşu Nicoleta Andreea 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
It has been shown that the development of tourism brings many benefits to the areas where this activity takes place (jobs, incomes for the community and for individuals, etc.), but it also has some shortcomings, such as the environmental degradation and the negative impact on local traditions. In order to stop these negative effects, the concept of sustainable development must be applied. This paper wants to identify the extent to which tourists are familiar with the term of „sustainability” and how they perceive the implementation of sustainable practices in the tourism sector in Romania. The research also wanted to reveal whether the application of sustainable development practices in this sector influenced tourists in choosing a specific economic agent. The authors have conducted a qualitative marketing research, and interviewed tourists who have used tourist services in Romania for the last 5 years. The research was based on the semi-structured depth interview method. The results show that most of the interviewees do not have a very clear idea about the concept of „sustainability” and that of the implementation of consistent practices in the hospitality industry. Therefore, they do not consider the application of these practices when choosing a certain economic agent for spending their free time. The results of this research can be the basis of some governmental and nongovernmental programs for educating potential tourists regarding the impact of tourism on the environment and the need for sustainable development of this sector. Also, these results can be useful to the economic operators in the tourism industry, to consider participating in the sustainable development of the sector and to take measures to promote the sustainable practices that they have applied.

Authors: Pelau Corina , Niculescu Miruna , Stanescu Mihaela 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
The new internet technologies have changed radically the communication between consumers and companies and they had an important role in changing the way consumer data is gathered. In comparison to the traditional way in which several surveys and experiments have been done, nowadays the consumer data is stored with the help of different technologies. Nowadays the consumer is online most of the time and his/her entire activity is monitored by the intelligent systems and applications installed on his mobile device. This storage of consumer data gives companies the possibility to personalize the interaction to the consumer, but in the same time it gives an insight in the private life of the consumer. In our research we investigate the attitude and awareness of consumers towards the advantages and disadvantages of the storage of cookies and browsing history. The results show that there is an average perception on the advantages and a higher awareness on the disadvantages.

Authors: Teodorov Alexandru Valentin , Muresan Manuela Liliana , Dinu Diana Mariana , Dinu Alexandra Cristina 
Published: August 2020

Abstract
Marketing and publicity have played a very significant role in promoting touristic destinations. Over the years, destinations promoted in papers, magazines and even movies, have become more and more crowded. This phenomenon even happened to the extent that it threatens the local environment and the wellbeing of locals. By studying recent news regarding popular tourist destinations, the article will observe the shift in the mindset of both tourists and policy makers. Therefore, should campaigns be held to raise awareness regarding different threats a destination faces, a shift of mindset will occur. This can be observed from the point of view of policy makers, locals and even tourists. The aim of this article is to study and compare both, publicity done for sustainability and publicity done for the sake of popularizing a touristic destination. Through this comparison the article wants to see if there are any changes in the behavior of tourists when reaching specifically advertised destinations but also if certain types of publicity have determined policy makers to take a stand for sustainability.
