Capacity Competition in Differentiated Oligopolies: Entry Deterrence with Alternative Objective Functions
Authors: Ristić Bojan , Trifunović Dejan , Herceg Tomislav 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
This paper aims to identify the possible implications of quantity competition in markets with differentiated products on entry deterrence. If capacity commitments characterise this industry, quantities can be expected as the choice variable of rational players, even in the presence of product differentiation. Different equilibria of a static game occur depending on the degree of asymmetry of players, incumbent and entrant, which will crucially affect the shape of their best response functions. Asymmetry can stem from players’ advantage in demand and costs, their different objective functions, or the first-mover advantage. We will analyse entry where incumbent maximises the weighted average of profit and revenue while entrant is maximising profit. The reduction of asymmetry may intensify competition in the industry and, consequently, reduce entry barriers. Our findings provide an insight that could be used for practical recommendations for conducting competition policy and other sector-specific regulations, where the introduction and higher intensity of competition are desirable.
Unattended Ground Sensor Borders – the Forgotten Solution for Afghanistan
Authors: Bojor Laviniu , Cîrdei Ionuț Alin 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
Recent military conflicts identify the permanent feature of weaker combatants to take refuge in sanctuaries outside areas of responsibility. These territories in the vicinity of theaters of operations were used mainly for protection and survival but also for the recruitment, equipment, training or supply and support of forces directly involved in military actions. The expansion of the Hon Chi Min Trail supply network through Laos and Cambodia or the installation of a Taliban safe haven in Pakistan are examples that confirm their impact on the end result. The paper aims to analyze strategies that use sensors, drones and other capabilities specific to today’s arsenal of technology that can support military leaders in the field in solving this challenge of monitoring and controlling the boundaries of a theater of operations (TO).
Popular Geopolitics and the Ideological use of Sports
Authors: Dinicu Anca , Iancu Dumitru 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
Globalization has benefits despite solid objections to the policies and regimes on which it is based on or the ongoing challenges it poses to the nation-state, weakening its authority and driving into world affairs the sub- and transnational spaces. These benefits include access to information on various topics through various means, including mass media communication. On the one hand, the paper enlights the reader with the notion of popular geopolitics, demonstrating at the same time that we are not facing an entirely new phenomenon. On the other hand, it connects the attitude towards or during a major sporting event with the geopolitical context of that time to better understand world politics by the non-specialists in the field.
Strategic Leadership in Hybrid Warfare
Authors: Grigore Laurențiu Mihail 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
Strategic leadership is the most important action undertaken during a war and is therefore the main target of the opponent. Hybrid warfare is the war of the present and the future, and within it, the action against leadership is carried out according to new rules and has absolute priority. The working hypotheses validated in this article demonstrate that the influence of leadership begins with the process of forming command cadres and continues with the action of cyber attack on the technical management systemsl.

Cooperation Plans between SOE and NKVD Regarding the Romanian Area during January–May 1944
Authors: Zidaru Marian 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
The main S.O.E aim seems to have been the utilization of political circles in an endeavour to overthrow the government and get Romania out of the war or at least to bring about the removal of its array from the Russians front, and to deny the national resources to Germany. The USSR has been constant in its disinclination to play with Maniu or associates itself with British planes until they are convinced that some concrete contribution at their war aim would results. They would however be ready to discuss unconditional surrender with the emissary of the Romanian government, capable of putting it into effect. The evolution of these SOE plans will be presented in this article.

Published: July 2021

Abstract
Many recent studies focus on the issue of interdependence relationship between the successful management of human resource and the improvement of organisational performance, under the aegis of key advances in technologies and information. Therefore, the digitalisation of human resource management is a hotly debated topic, with researchers focusing on the importance of this process within the organisations. The general intention of the author of this paper is to provide those interested with conceptual clarifications on electronic human resource management (e-HRM), by reference to the literature. From a specific point of view, the paper aims to highlight the relevant aspects of the digitalisation of human resource management in military organisations.
New Managerial Paradigm: Manager–Stakeholder Instead of Manager–Employee
Authors: Nicolescu Ovidiu , Nicolescu Ciprian 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
This paper aims to propose a change of the management paradigm by placing in the foreground the relationship between manager and stakeholder instead of the manager–subordinate relationship. The new managerial paradigm comes as a result of the wide-ranging mutations that have taken place in recent decades at the level of societies, economies and organizations around the world, which have forced the change of traditional managerial approaches. The work emphasizes why is necessary and possible to change the management paradigm in the present context, taking into consideration managerial and organizational arguments, that are based on observations, suggestions and recommendations of numerous specialists. Also, there are highlighted the quantitative and the qualitative differences between managerial paradigm focused on stakeholders and classical managerial paradigm of manager–employee, as well as the main advantages of a company stakeholder-based management system.

Authors: Ralea Marius , Butoi Vlad Alexandru 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
Starting from the premise of the complexity of the management process, it is essential to approach the fulfillment of the organization’s objectives in terms of the leader’s personality, taking into account the influence of his character on those he shepherds and who contribute earnestly to the success of the organization. Without being a coincidence, the specialists were interested in what motivates people to follow leaders and especially what traits of leaders make them to be appreciated and exert their influence casually, in order to achieve organizational efficiency. Onto exercising true leadership, beyond rigorous knowledge of principles, rules, modern leadership methods and styles, require a formidable, beautiful character, meant to achieve the cohesion of the community and its influence in achieving the purpose for which the organization was established. The character traits of the leader must be persuasive for the disciples, especially when we talk about an organizational climate prone to personal and professional development of each of the team members, and implicitly of the organization.

Legal, Political and Security aspects of the Pandemic Language
Authors: Belova Gabriela , Georgieva Gergana 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
From spring onwards 2020 has been irrevocably interwoven with words such as “pandemic”, “emergency”, “crisis”, “urgent measures”, etc. The usage of the pandemic language to describe the outbreak of COVID-19 derives from the etymologies of these words. However, it could also be rooted in political motives. There are instances of how specific terms could be mobilized to support policy aims. This is the main reason why more attention should be paid to the strength of the language used and more awareness of the usage of particular terms within a political and security context. It could be considered necessary to take extraordinary “urgent” measures to save lives as a result of a global “pandemic”, but at the same time, it is vital to be careful how exactly these terms are used to justify political principles, which were in operation even before the outbreak of COVID-19.
The Beginnings of Modern Higher Education in England
Authors: Mihăilă-Lică Gabriela 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
Realizing that a people can not be entirely conquered unless it is educated to embrace the culture and civilization of the conquerors, the Romans established the first schools in Britain in order to ‘romanize the sons of native chieftains’ [1]. With the arrival of Christianity, associated with the mission of Augustine in 597 AD, the churches took upon themselves the mission of teaching reading, writing and some religious knowledge, but few men benefited from this. The schools in the cathedrals and monasteries gradually grew to become universities, their main objective being to make students understand and explain the truth of God. “After the year 1000, cathedral schools replaced monasteries as cultural centres, and new forms of learning emerged. The cathedral schools were in turn supplanted by the universities, which promoted a “Catholic” learning that was inspired, oddly enough, by the transmission of the work of Aristotle through Arab scholars.”[2]. The paper analyses in broad lines the lengthy and burdensome process the English universities went through until the beginning of the 20th century in order to reach the performance of forming people capable not only of doing research and of disseminating knowledge, but also of contributing to the development of the country.
Organizational Trust and Leadership
Authors: Rusu Raluca 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
In this paper we analyzed organizational trust on an intentionality sample of military personnel, starting from one of the most used theoretical and empirical models in the literature, namely the scale of Mayer and Davis (1999), built on three dimensions: competence, benevolence and integrity of the leader. The analysis shows that the confidence in the leader in the military organization is high on all three dimensions.
Considerations on the Issues of Adoption from the Perspective of ECHR Reglementations
Authors: Stănciulescu Cristian Sorin 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
The legal issue of adoption has an obvious complex character, a circumstance that involves increasing the effort of in-depth analysis of regulations in the field, both for their correct interpretation and application, and for identifying possible inaccuracies or legislative gaps and substantiating relevant legislative proposals for their elimination. Since the entry into force of the current Civil Code (2011) until now, in the Romanian doctrine, one cannot identify a scientific paper with a monographic character in which the theoretical and practical issues of the legal regime of adoption in the Romanian system of law are analyzed and deepened. The paper presents a series of opinions on possible corrections in the legal regime of adoption from the perspective ofECHR regulations.
The Need To Promote Elitism In Education
Authors: Vladu Mircea 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
The idea of elaborating this article came to me after reading over and over again the content of Art.2 paragraph (1) of the National Education Law no.1 / 2011, with subsequent amendments and completions, a very important normative act for the present, but especially for the future of Romania, according to which „The law aims to promote an education oriented on values, creativity, cognitive abilities, volitional abilities and action capacities, fundamental knowledge and competencies/skills and abilities of direct utility, in the professional life and in the society. Anyone who reads the content of Art.2 paragraph (1) is entitled to believe that the most efficient secondary and higher education in the world is taking place in Romania. Unfortunately, when reading and analyzing the content of Art.3, it can be seen quite easily that the principles governing secondary and higher education, as well as lifelong learning in Romania have a more declarative character, i.e. there is one thing written on paper and something else is happening in reality. I would like to continue to talk about this, with arguments, supported by my knowledge and experience in the field of education, starting with September 1979, when I first entered a classroom consisting of military students, from the highly flattering position of instructor and educator and until now, after a lifetime of working in classrooms, laboratories, amphitheatres and auditoriums of several military and civilian higher education institutions, in the honorary position of university professor doctor habilitat and chairman of the University Ethics Commission.
Solution for Synchronizing two Belt Conveyers using Motors with different Speeds Drive
Authors: Bostan Adelina , Stroia Mihaela Dorica , Haţiegan Cornel 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
It is known that main aspect at a belt conveyor functioning is speed control. This issue has a greater impact upon a process when two or more belt conveyers must work together in order to obtain high quality products. In this case we talk about, not only speed controlling, but of another important aspect, synchronization of belt conveyers. Present paper describes a solution designed and implemented for synchronization of two belt conveyers of different lengths. Each belt conveyer is driven by a motor. Each motor works at its own speed drive. The two conveyors are working together in a process of producing anti-slip door mats which are mainly used at inside door, decorative purpose, etc. The proposed solution is using a PLC and two variable speed drivers with different transmission ratio. This solution can be applied in processes which are divided in sub-processes that must work as a production flow.
Innovation-Centered Society: from the First Wave to the Smart Society
Authors: Herţanu Codrin-Leonard 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
Ideas really matter, as they decisively influence people thoughts, creeds and behaviours. Among these, the tomorrow’s world feature is a current dominant concern. Alvin Toffler’s perspective of the three major disruptive waves colliding mankind’s history is still revealing. Also, Thomas Friedman’s intuitive vision of an interconnected world becoming flat, relates to circumstances in which any nation could potentially challenge another one, on an equal basis, within the global competitive playing field. Recently, the concept of a future Smart Society gains ground, and innovation plays an essential role in it, as it possesses the potential not only to flatten the world, but also to expand it, in terms of enlarging human knowledge perspectives. Consequently, the future world society should be better named Innovation-Centered Society rather than Smart Society. Following the Toffler’s society evolution pattern, the core element of the future should be innovation, as this is the common denominator of the disruptive technologies progress, and has the power to create an entire supporting ecosystem.
Modern Approaches Regarding Classification and Terminology of Firearms up to 20mm in Caliber
Authors: Ilie Florin , Moşteanu Dănuț-Eugeniu , Georgescu Bogdan-Mihai 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
One would outright tell the differences between a rifle and a machine gun. But what if the things get so much complicated so that only a minuscule detail becomes the key into telling if that piece of ordnance pertains to a specific category of arms, more precisely if it fits into a distinguished subcategory of armament. At the moment, there are indefinitely many ways of structuring firearms into certain categories, but the methods are vague and imprecise when it comes to types that are strongly related or similar. Thus, combining history records and the official texts of various institutions ensue a more complex and plausible method of firearms classification and terminology registering alike.
Aspects Regarding the use of Biodegradable Ecological Detergents in the Decontamination of R.B.C.
Authors: Moşteanu Dănuț-Eugeniu , Ilie Florin , Hodiş Ruxandra 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
Ecological decontamination solutions are widely used in various fields of activity especially in this period when many countries in the world are implementing at macro level the concept of sustainable development. The use of detergents in the process of R.B.C. decontamination led to in-depth analyzes of the absorbent properties of organic products. These products have the ability to partially or completely remove detergents from wastewater resulting from decontamination, thus reducing pollution by environmental factors. The present paper aimed at the comparative analysis of the absorbent properties of a power plant ash and diatomite ore. Also, some experiments were performed on the biodegradability of detergents considered in the study and the interpolation of data analyzed by spline functions.
The Threat that is Represented by the Unauthorized Flight of the Rpas and the Anti-Drone Systems
Authors: Popescu Laurențiu-Răducu 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
The unauthorized flights of the RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft System) represent serious threats to the security of the aircraft with human crew on board, to the security of the troops in the theatre of operations as well as to the critical infrastructures and why not to the security of the civilian population. The purpose of the study was to identify which events have occurred recently related to RPAS and which of these represent real challenges to security and defense. Specific regulations and standards are not enough to control the RPAS phenomenon. I used specialized documents and studies, information and conclusions presented by the media, comparative analysis as research methods. Also, I highlighted the risks represented by RPAS. I have presented in chronological order some of the events that have taken place lately related to the use of RPAS, to demonstrate their wide spectrum of use. Even if several C-RPAS systems are installed (for anti-drone protection), an important area cannot be secured if you do not have enough systems capable of covering the entire restricted airspace. The development of anti-drone systems (C-RPAS) is rapidly required.
The Existing Technologies on Anti-Drone Systems
Authors: Popescu Laurențiu-Răducu 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
The paper presents the technologies currently available on the market in the field of anti-drone systems (C-RPAS -Counter Remotely Piloted Aircraft System). These include technologies with the help of radar, audio interception systems or via infrared and electro-optical devices, which are limited in remote sensing. The purpose of this paper was to highlight the multitude of factors that can influence the main mission of C-RPAS systems, the detection. Without detection the other features of a C-RPAS system could not be applied. I used specialized documents and studies, but also comparative analysis as research methods. The results of the study confirmed to me the hypothesis that anti-drone systems use in combination, one or more of the technologies (to detect, to recognize, to identify, to locate, to block, to capture or to destroy the drone). The first four (the detection, the recognition, the identification, the localization) are in the basic configuration for any C-RPAS system. In the future, there will be a challenge (for the producers of C-RPAS systems), the capture of the RPAS, especially the military ones. It is also important to prepare the operators / beneficiaries for such systems. They can influence the effectiveness of drone combat missions.
