PROTECTION AND PRESERVATION SEA ENVIRONMENT IN INTERNATIONAL LAW PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Djatmiko Agoes , Pudyastiwi Elisabeth 
Published: February 2020

Protection of the marine environment within the framework of international law is actually an accumulation of The Principle of National Sovereignity and The Freedom of High Sea. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) states that "a right on the part of an astat threatened with the environmental injury from sources beyond its territorial jurisdiction, at least where those sources are located on the high seas, to take reasonable action to prevent or abate that injury ". The general principle of good neighbor liness can be found in international customary law as well as in Article 74 of the UN Charter. This principle is reflected in several international treaties and is supported by the country's main practices in dangerous and emergency activities. Cooperation is contained in the 24th Principle of the Stockholm Declaration and the 27th Principle of the Rio Declaration which states that countries must cooperate in the principles of good faith and the spirit of partnership as efforts to protect the environment. Keywords: protection of the marine environment, principles of good faith, International Maritime Organization (IMO)

Published: February 2020

Рассматриваются ключевые подходы к концептуализации понятия «цифровая грамотность» в зарубежном и российском исследовательском дискурсе. Отмечается дефицит подходов к анализу компетенций, связанных с эффективной коммуникацией и адаптацией к социально-сетевой коммуникативной культуре молодежи. Предлагается новая концептуализация социально-сетевой цифровой грамотности как элемента сетевой цифровой культуры и общей цифровой грамотности поколения Z. На основании оценок и мнений представителей цифрового поколения, выявленных в результате проведения серии полевых исследований в рамках исследовательского проекта, посвященного изучению сетевой культуры поколения Z, описывается содержательное наполнение комплекса следующих лингвистических, коммуникативных и прагматических компетенций, образующих социально-сетевую цифровую грамотность: лингвистической компетенции по продуцированию разножанрового социально-сетевого контента и эффективной обратной связи; коммуникативной компетенции по организации контекстов социально-сетевой коммуникации с различными аудиториями пользователей; практиконормативной компетенции по соблюдению этических норм и требований этикета и поддержанию бесконфликтного социально-сетевого общения; компетенции социальносетевой самопрезентации.
The key approaches to the conceptualization of the concept of digital literacy in foreign and Russian research discourse are considered. Along with the classical interpretation of P. Gilster of digital literacy as the understanding and use of information using a computer, the author analyzes functionalistic and cognitive approaches to the interpretation of digital literacy. There is a shortage of approaches to the analysis of competencies associated with effective communication and adaptation to the social network communication culture of youth. New conceptualization proposed social and network digital literacy as an element of network digital culture and digital literacy of generation Z. Based on the estimates and opinions of representatives of the digital generation identified as a result of a series of field studies in the framework of a research project devoted to the study of the network culture of generation Z, the content of the following complex is revealed, communicative and pragmatic competencies that form social network digital literacy: linguistic competency in the production of multi-genre social network content and effective feedback; communicative competencies in organizing contexts of social network communication with various user audiences; practical and normative competencies to comply with ethical standards and etiquette requirements and to maintain conflict-free social network communication; the competencies of social network self-presentation. It is concluded that a discussion of the need to educate and acquire competencies related to adaptation to generation Z network communication culture can serve as a key to bridging the digital divide between generations.
ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЕ ПОЛИСЕНСОРНОГО ПОДХОДА В ФОРМИРОВАНИИ ФУНКЦИОНАЛЬНОГО БАЗИСА ЧТЕНИЯ ДОШКОЛЬНИКОВ С ОБЩИМ НЕДОРАЗВИТИЕМ РЕЧИ

Увеличение числа детей с общим недоразвитием речи и повышение современных требований ФГОС к эффективности обучения грамоте позволяют актуализировать проблему подготовки к обучению чтению дошкольников с общим недоразвитием речи. Предложен комплексный подход к процессу формирования функционального базиса чтения у дошкольников с общим недоразвитием речи, который основан на использовании полисенсорного подхода.
The increase in the number of children with general speech underdevelopment and the increase in the current requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard to the effectiveness of literacy training make it possible to actualize the problem of preparing preschoolers with general speech underdevelopment to learn reading. The article proposes a comprehensive approach to the process of forming the functional basis of reading in preschoolers with general underdevelopment of speech, which is based on the use of a polysensory approach. The influence of the use of the polysensory approach in the formation of the functional basis of reading in preschoolers with General underdevelopment of speech is investigated. The significance of the study is to supplement the theoretical ideas about the originality of speech and non-speech processes of teaching reading to children with general underdevelopment of speech. The expediency of an alternative approach to the training of preschool children with general underdevelopment of speech, including a polysensory approach, is substantiated. The speech therapy program is based on the polysensory approach in the formation of the functional basis of reading in preschool children with general underdevelopment of speech, using all units of reading and including work on the development of attention, visual perception, memory, phonemic hearing and speech.

Published: February 2020

Abstract
Introduction: Spina bifida is a spine malformation that appears as an incomplete closure of the spine during development. Most frequently it involves lumbosacral vertebrae. There are two types of spina bifida: spina bifida aperta and spina bifida occulta. In most of the cases spina bifida occulta is asymptomatic, and it is identified by accident.
Objectives: the aim of this study was to correlate localization of spina bifida occulta with age and sex of the patients.
Materials and methods: Between July 2017 and January 2019 there have been 108 patients diagnosed with spina bifida occulta at the Radiology Department of Dora Medicals Tîrgu Mureș. The diagnoses were based on thoracolumbar spine x-ray, pelvic x-ray and chest x-ray studies requested by specialist physicians. Radiologic diagnosis was followed by data processing and statistical analysis.
Results: In 81% of the cases the lesion was localized to vertebra S1, and in 15% to vertebra L5; we identified other five cases of rare localizations: C7- T1- T2, T1, T2, S2. This lesion was diagnosed most frequently at ages from 11 to 15 years (44.4%). Spina bifida localized to L5 was more frequent in males (11/16, 68.7%). Cases localized to S1 were more frequent in females (60/88, 68.1%). All spina bifida cases in females localized to vertebra L5 were diagnosed before 20 years of age.
Conclusions: Our results partially correspond to those reported in other published studies.

Published: February 2020

Abstract
Diet has a major role in the treatment of acute diarrhea in children, along with a minimal drug therapy, but not necessarily using antimicrobials. Children can successfully pas a diarrheal episode with diet and symptomatic treatment.
It is important to know how to properly choose foods to introduce in ill children diet. There is a lack of statistical data in our region regarding dietary treatment in child diarrhea. This study was realized by completing a questionnaire regrading nutritional management in children with diarrhea. 110 persons from Dobrogea region completed this questionnaire. We analyzes demographic and clinical issues, people preferences in choosing different foods appropriate to this pathology and minimal knowledge about medication.
Our results evidenced that general population knowledges regarding nutritional management of acute diarrheal disease in children and infants are appreciable. Foods like rice, toast, applesauce/baked apple, mint/figs/bilberry leaves teas, vegetables soup, bananas were found among people preferences, proving appropriate information. Antimicrobial drugs misusage is not reported, 83 out of 110 people avoiding them.
Live-Ticker: Zu Der Neuen Multimodal-Hypertextuellen Form Der Live-Berichterstattung
Authors: Smułczyński Michał 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
The live broadcast of different, socially important events is nowadays no longer reserved only for radio and television. The live-ticker, a result of various media convergence processes, is a multimodal and interactive set of institutional reports, journalists’ and politicians’ opinions, pictures, short films and social media posts, that 24/7 provides the most up-to-date information on a specific topic. The article is an investigation into the media genre live-ticker with a focus on its multimodal structure, the language-image relations, as well as aspects of hypertextuality. Finally, I want to show what the live ticker differs from similar forms of online broadcasting. The corpus are three Danish live-tickers that provided the most detailed report on the trial of the Danish entrepreneur and designer Peter Madsen: bt.dk, ekstrabladet.dk and jyllands-posten.dk. Madsen murdered in 2017 a Swedish journalist Kim Wall, for which he was sentenced in April 2018 to life imprisonment.

Abstract
Tourism statistic data can is an important source for measuring touristic patterns. As this area became more and more dynamic with the globalisation process, business owners, business analysts, policy makers as well as researchers are highly interested in having accurate, reliable and diverse data on tourism in order to perform analysis. Seasonal adjustment presents a real challenge for all researchers that operate with data sources from tourism sector. Usage of time series presents both opportunities and may contribute to improvement of forecasting touristic specifics relaying on demand and supply side of seasonality phenomenon. However, seasonally adjusted data is viewed as major challenge for businesses operating in the touristic sector. The present research focuses on a methodology that includes monthly tourist data arrivals in Romania. The seasonal adjustment process is performed with JDemetra+, both considering and excluding calendar effect. JDemetra+ is the software officially recommended by Eurostat for seasonal adjustment, being tested extensively by many experts in the field, from various organisations. The seasonal adjustment process pointed out promising and qualitative results, as no Easter and trading days effect were present, suggesting effect of calendar omission from the process. Our obtained results showed up significantly better results for the 5 years series span. The similarities for TRAMO-SEATS and X13 obtained results indicate that in order to minimise sensitivity and choose correctly between the two packages, further revisions may be considered. This paper provides an excellent starting point for further research aimed at improving data on tourism. The methodology tested in this research can be further improved and applied on other data regarding tourism.
Statistical model of investment evolution in European Union in the context of blockchain system

Published: February 2020

Abstract
The economic growth of the national economy, within international bodies, as well as in the European Union, is a priority under the present conditions. Capital placement in geographic areas is based on effective opportunity studies. Such an analysis involves access to databases that satisfy the criteria for selecting the place of investment. At the same time, the media interested in attracting national or international investments can take such a decision on the basis of the data that will lead it to the optimal decision. Usually study of the market and the investment fields is insufficient and as such the effectiveness of the project is reduced. Under the very big data base, investors will have the chance to have information that needs to be used in a short time, and such opportunities need to be endowed with ultra-modern information systems. The issue of national and international investment is of utmost interest for any Member State of the European Union. In this respect, major projects will be developed involving as many member countries as possible, provided that everyone has the supremacy (to provide benefits) in a particular project sub-domain. Only specialization can provide the path to a viable and yet prolific economic and scientific cooperation. Through its directives, the European Union pursues both the individual development of each country and, above all, the complex development of the whole of the Union. In the big data era, investments, attracting them or entering into intra-Community economic cooperation provide a much faster course.
On building early-warning systems for preventing the deterioration of financial institutions’ performance
Authors: Costea Adrian 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
This paper assesses the financial performance of Romania’s non-banking financial institutions (NFIs) using a neural network training algorithm proposed by Kohonen, namely the Self-Organizing Maps algorithm. The algorithm takes the financial dataset and positiones each observation into a self-organizing map (a two-dimensional map) which can be latter used to visualize the trajectories of an individual NFI and explain it based on different performance dimensions, such as capital adequacy, assets’ quality and profitability. Further, we use the map as an early-warning system that would accurately forecast the NFIs future performance (whether they would stay or be eliminated from the NFI’s Special Register three quarters into the future). The results are promising: the model is able to correctly predict NFIs’ performance movements. Finally, we compared the results of our SOM-based model with those obtained by applying a multivariate logit-based model. The SOM model performed worse in discriminating the NFIs’ performance: the performance classes were not clearly defined and the model lacked the interpretability of the results. In the contrary, the multivariate logit coefficients have nice interpretability and an individual default probability estimate is obtained for each new observation. However, we can benefit from the results of both techniques: the visualization capabilities of the SOM model and the interpretability of multivariate logit-based model.

Authors: Cristache Silvia-Elena , Marin Erika , Șerban Daniela 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
The European Pillar of Social Rights proclaimed the people’s right to access to healthcare facilities and services, irrespective of the geographic residence.
Currently, the health system in Romania has a number of major deficiencies, ranging from the lack of state-of-the-art equipment in some hospitals, inadequate medical staff in many hospital units, to the lack of essential, vital medicines needed for treatments prescribed to the sick.
The paper aims to analyze the differences in the public health care system between the eight development regions in Romania (Northwest, Center, North-East, South-East, South-Muntenia, Bucharest-Ilfov, South-West Oltenia and West) and to identify the reasons that led to their appearance. The paper presents a detailed examination of the main statistical indicators of the public health care system in Romania using a series of statistical analysis techniques. We founded significant differences amongst the eight development regions in Romania, regarding the functioning of the public health care system. Some regions (such as Bucharest Ilfov) is found to outperform others; these regional gaps are analyzed attempting to highlight the main reasons of the regional disparities.
Should Students Trust their Instructors in Statistics? Differences in PLS Path Modelling while using WarpPLS and R
Authors: Druică Elena , Goschin Zizi 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
A common problem with using different statistical packages for the same data and method is the risk of getting dissimilar results. While the reasons behind this outcome are often known and accepted, the negative consequences might be significant. In a teaching environment, usually involving toy models, with no practical implications, only a reputation risk is at stake. Nevertheless, students should be aware of such incongruities, their causes and possible solutions. Starting from these considerations, our paper addresses the differences that arise between R and WarpPLS while applying the Partial Least Squares Path Modelling (PLS-PM) method. To this end we estimate a PLS-PM model for analysing health-positioning data, compare the results and explain how the two statistical packages differ and complement each other in an attempt to derive the best fit for the data.
The Factors that Influence Postpaid Subscribers to Make Churn in a Romanian Telecommunication Company
Authors: Dumitrache Andreea , Matei Maer Monica Mihaela , Stancu Stelian , Popescu Oana 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
The telecommunication industry is growing every day, increasing its competitiveness. In almost all European countries, the market penetration of mobile network users exceeded 100% (for example in Croatia it is over 130%). Acquiring new users is virtually impossible because there are no new users. There are only users of rival companies who are exposed to numerous marketing campaigns carefully designed to try to win them. That’s why customer retention activity and churn prevention is a necessity. The purpose of this paper is to predict customers who are willing to migrate to another Romanian mobile telecommunications company and to determine the strongest factors of influence in the consumer’s decision to leave their current service provider for another provider. Migration behavior analysis is developed for customers with postpaid subscriptions. We applied the ROSE package for re-sampling and decision trees on the dataset to identify decision makers in the migration process. The combination of the two techniques in our study did not significantly improve the performance of the classifier measured by the AUC (Area Under the Curve). After balancing the sample, however, we obtain the optimal value of the AUC coefficient (0.724) for the second cluster, making the correct prediction of the churn phenomenon on the analyzed data set. The study is an addition of Churn Analysis in Romanian Telecommunications Company, M. M. Matei Maer and A. Dumitrache (2018), where ROSE and logistic regression was applied to the same dataset for the same purpose: balancing the sample and churn prediction, but the value of the AUC coefficient was really low, making it difficult to accurately predict the churn phenomenon. Therefore, another purpose of the current paper is to compare the performance of the two techniques used in combination with ROSE on the same set of data.
The impact of human capital on economic growth in EU-28: a Panel Data perspective
Authors: Prada Elena-Maria , Cimpoeru Smaranda 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
This paper investigates the influence of education and human capital on economic growth in European Union countries before Brexit, for a time span of 14 years in the period 2003 - 2016. A panel data regression model was applied taking into account the impact of human capital on the economic growth from the perspective of education levels and human capital movement. Therefore human capital is described by the variables number of researchers, youth not in education, employment or training, the migration changing rates and the labor force for three different education levels (basic, intermediate and advanced). The dependent variable used in the paper as a measurement of economic growth was considered annual growth rate of Gross Domestic Product. The results show that the hypothesis of the importance and impact of human capital on economic growth is supported.
Possibilities to quantify the road traffic on the national road network and motorways in Romania
Authors: Sandu Robert-Adrian , Răcănel Carmen , Manea Daniela-Ioana , Mihai Mihaela 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
As a result of the economic crisis of 2009-2010, the road traffic on the national road network, for the period 2011-2014, decreased considerably. Thus, the evolution coefficients, for the period 2020-2025, registered a trend of decrease in road traffic.
Based on the analysis of the results of the automatic traffic records, it was found that the average daily average traffic increased by about 4.7% in 2016 compared to 2015 (the year of the last general circulation census) and is in continuous growth, one of the reasons being removal of car registration tax. In 2015, for the development of evolution coefficients and the rates of evolution of traffic on the national road network, the linear regression method was used which took into account both the evolution of road traffic reported in 1995, 2000, 2005 and 2010, as well as the evolution of road traffic on the traffic counters network for the period 2010-2015.
The paper analyzes aspects of the efficiency of the method used until the present and the need to develop coefficients and rates of evolution based on more complex methods, based on several economic and social indicators, including the projected evolution of GDP.
Financial cycle. How does it look like in Romania?
Authors: Tatarici Luminita 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
The paper aims to identify the main characteristics of the financial cycle for Romania using both the classical and growth cycle approaches. The turning point methodology represents the classical approach, while a band-pass filter is applied to capture the growth cycle. First, the paper assesses the significance of the medium-term cyclical component and finds that its importance increased since 2000s. The second purpose is to identify the relevant variables for the construction of a composite measure of the financial cycle. The results reveal that total credit and real estate prices are the best candidates. Regarding cycles’ characteristics, the classical approach shows that credit cycles tend last around 10 years, while the real estate cycles are longer and exhibit higher corrections during downturns.
