Some problems in the legal regulation of medical secrecy protection of HIV-infected Russian citizens have been identified. It is noted that in Russia there are specific circumstances and reasons requiring disclosure of the positive status of HIV-infected citizens. They hide their diagnosis when entering into intimate relationships with healthy people and even in marriage. The current criminal liability for contracting another person’s HIV infection does not ensure the suppression of infringements on the health of others. Based on the analysis of judicial practice, the excessive protection of medical secrets of HIV-infected is noted. Conclusion. It is concluded that in order to effectively protect the health of Russian citizens, it is necessary to limit in some aspects the protection of personal secrets of HIV-infected persons to ensure the safety of all people in contact with them.

‘Cosmovillagers’ as Sustainable Rural Development Actors in Mountain Hamlets? International Immigrant Entrepreneurs’ Perceptions of Sustainability in the Lleida Pyrenees (Catalonia, Spain)
Authors: Morén-Alegret Ricard , Milazzo Josepha , Romagosa Francesc , Kallis Giorgos 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
In recent decades, small villages in some mountainous regions in Europe have been suffering from ageing and depopulation, yet at the same time, immigrants have been arriving and settling there. This paper sheds light on the perceptions of sustainable rural development among international immigrants living in municipalities with fewer than 500 inhabitants, which are already the home to some ‘cosmovillagers’. If immigrants’ views are left unattended, an important part of reality will be lacking in the picture of mountainous areas because today immigration is qualitatively relevant in rural Europe. This paper aims to answer the following questions, among others: What dimensions of sustainability are underscored? What are the main challenges for sustainability and the proposals for improvement? What are the local sustainability challenges? This paper provides research results and insights based on original data gathered during fieldwork in the Pyrenees as well as analyses of documents, maps and statistics. Specifically, the main focus is on some several sparsely populated areas in the Lleida Pyrenees, e.g. dozens of municipalities in Alt Urgell, Cerdanya, Pallars Sobirà and Val d’Aran. Thus this paper aims to help fill that relative gap in the existing academic literature by offering original qualitative information.
What Do Public Policies Teach us About Rural Depopulation: The Case Study of Spain
Authors: Pinilla Vicente , Sáez Luis Antonio 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
This study evaluates the policies developed in Spain to address depopulation and explains the reasons for their low effectiveness. We consider that the low impact of these policies is due to an incorrect diagnosis and design in terms of their content and governance. Therefore, we propose that depopulation policies should have the objective of enabling citizens to reside where they wish and obtain the best possible quality of life. These policies should be implemented within a new governance framework in which the foundations on which they are based and the way in which they are implemented are renewed. With the support of the European Union, such action could be carried out more efficiently and could constitute a reference of successful territorial cohesion contributing to erasing the populist opinion in places that believe that they do not matter.
Growth Hormone Treatment: First Results of the Partnership Program for the Establishment of a Growth Center at the University Clinic of Pediatrics –Pleven
Authors: Halvadzhiyan Irina B. 
Published: July 2021

Summary
In March 2018, in the Clinic of Pediatrics of the University Hospital “G. Stranski ”- Pleven, we have created a Center for diagnosing and treating children with growth disorders, in active collaboration with an established expert center. During the study, 53 children with height <-2 SDS were referred to the newly established Growth Center. The diagnoses of children receiving treatment with growth hormone (GH) were made in clinical settings based on the history, physical status, auxological assessment, imaging studies, basal and stimulated hormone tests, genetic tests. The children‘s mean age was 9.7 ± 4.5 years, with a significant gender difference (p>0.05), living mainly in cities. For 18 months, we treated a total of 11 children (54.5% male) with an average age at the start of GH therapy of 8.1 ± 4.4 years and an average growth velocity of 10.3 ± 7.7 cm/year. Treatment with GH was introduced in Pleven after successfully establishing the Growth Center in the Clinic of Pediatrics. The first results showed a significant increase in the number of diagnosed and treated children whose follow-up we found an acceleration in growth and bone maturation, positive body composition changes, and lack of side effects from the treatment.
A Perspective on Military Operations in the Urban Environment
Authors: Cîrdei Ionuț Alin , Bojor Laviniu 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
The current operational environment is increasingly complex, dynamic and unpredictable. Military actions vary in duration and intensity, but regardless of their type, they represent a major challenge to the participating forces due to the complexity of the environment and the operational context and the multitude of actors present in the area of operations. The last period also shows that military actions, contrary to the recommendations of military strategists, focus on inhabited areas and especially on urban areas that concentrate economic, political, military power and offer multiple opportunities, especially to forces in numerical and technological inferiority. The conduct of military operations in urban areas is a major challenge for all armies, regardless of their level and combat experience, and overburdens personnel beyond borders.
The Evolution of Military Staffs and the Possible Effects of Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Fazekas Ferenc 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
The military staffs are vital parts of military organizations dealing with the numerous details required for the successful conduct of either the peace-time daily routine tasks or the war-time missions. In NATO’s view the staffs are the bodies of specialists whose main task is to provide advice for the commanders on problems at hand as well as to materialize a bold plan acting upon the commanders’ intent and guidance. Staffs capable of meeting these requirements do not have a long history, although different kind of advisory bodies of selected personnel were accompanied the military leaders throughout the history. The military staff of today can be considered as a step on the evolutionary ladder of staffs, on which the emerging technologies will reveal new steps to be taken. One of the most important technology that will affect, or revolutionize even, the internal work processes and the constitution of a military staff is the artificial intelligence. This paper describes the technological and social changes that led to the emergence of the current NATO staff organization and gives some hints about the possible future effects of artificial intelligence on the staff system.
The Competing Hypotheses Analytical Model and Human Intelligence Single-Source Analysis
Authors: Kis Alexandru , Tvaruška Peter , Tarcala Oliver 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
The article examines some particular aspects of the analytical process within the intelligence cycle, having as reference the framework of strategic intelligence. Starting from a proposed model of analysis of the competing hypotheses using phases-tailored tools, which will improve the quality of all-source intelligence analysis and its final products, we further assess its applicability in HUMINT (Human Intelligence) analysis. The model of intelligence analysis as a problem-solving method, with a focus on predictive analysis, will serve to understand the expectations from single-source collection disciplines (in our case, HUMINT) data gathering and reporting, connected to the roles of HUMINT analysts in the specialized branches.

Authors: Kurek Dorota 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
Recruitment to the Police is a continuous process aimed at supplementing the shortage of human resources, whose number for many years has oscillated around 4 thousand. Taking into account the difficulty of obtaining candidates for service, as well as high competitiveness on the labour market among employers, the aim of the conducted research was to identify the quality of the image of the Police as an employer in Poland from the perspective of generation Z, i.e. the group of potential candidates for service. The analysis also focused on the attributes of Police attractiveness, paying particular attention to attractiveness in the economic, developmental and psychological dimensions. An attempt was also made to indicate a typical image of the Police as an employer by means of subjective associations with the brand. For this purpose, potential associations associated with different types of organizational culture were distinguished, and then subjected to the assessment of respondents. The research using a diagnostic survey was conducted on a sample of 100 people in 2019.
The Historical Road Maria Theresia in the Călimani Mountains - Past, Present and Future
Authors: Cioanca Lia-Maria 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
The Roman road Maria Theresia is known for its historical heritage; in the past, the troops of the Austro-Hungarian Empire housed weapons and food here. Built hundreds of years ago, the route crosses the Călimani mountains. In the elaboration of this article I applied as a research method the case study, which allowed me access to some historical and military information, namely the fact that the historical road had been designed since the time of Emperor Joseph II, but it was completed only in 1820, during the reign of Emperor Francis I of Austria. This study allowed me to collect certain data related to the way in which this road is valued and is attributed remarkable tourist values, and all this through the project undertaken by the Tășuleasa Social Association, which aims to arrange this route as thematic path, precisely to rediscover the imperial road with the value of a historical monument, but also to highlight the natural setting of the Călimani Mountains. Throughout the investigations and the documents studied, I found that many volunteers joined this great project, to keep a road with a distant history practicable. From this case study, it appears that this road has been so well valued that it manages to attract more and more tourists, eager to know both the history of these places, but also to participate in the organized marathon or for a simple hike.

Published: July 2021

Abstract
Financial control, as part of the internal managerial control and economic control, is also for the entities from the Ministry of National Defence an activity of major importance for the efficient, effective and economical use of the resources allocated to them. The own preventive financial control is also carried out in entities of the Ministry of National Defence based on a customized normative framework, starting from the one established for all public institutions. The set of methods for performing own preventive financial control in army units brings together, according to the special normative act adopted for this ministry, the specific framework of operations subject to own preventive financial control, the circulation schedule of documents verified in this control, specialized organizational compartments / entities in which the operations subject to this control are initiated and carried out. The Coronavirus pandemic that started in 2020 and continues in 2021 suggested the idea of running in a computerized, digitized system of own preventive financial control, to avoid or minimize direct contact between controllers and controlled, which is why we proposed the establishment of an appropriate computer system for such a purpose.

Possibilities of the Contracting Authority to Amend the Public Procurement Contract/Framework Agreement
Authors: Popa Ioan Gabriel 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
The experience gained in the field of public procurement leads me to the statement that the activity of amending the public procurement contract / framework agreement is a challenging activity for the contracting authority. Maybe not from the perspective of elaborating the documents necessary to operate the change or changes that may be required during the development of the public procurement contract / framework agreement, but rather from the perspective of the solutions offered by the law, solutions that cover only certain areas. Starting from the normative acts in force, this paper aims to identify the situations and the way in which the contracting authority can modify the public procurement contract / framework agreement, the documents to be elaborated and the effects that the modifications might entail. In order to increase transparency, predictability and coherence in relation to the operation of contractual changes, contracting authorities should carry out analyses after each public procurement process as well as of the various practical situations encountered during the execution of contracts.

Authors: Vrăjitoru Eugen-Silviu , Boscoianu Mircea , Boscoianu Elena-Corina 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
In emerging markets, the processes in portfolio management should be adapted according to the typical constraints (market liquidity aspect and other market imperfections)that limits the use of alternative instruments / strategies and diversification capabilities. The aim is to develop a new way to understand and implement innovative solutions in real portfolio management in the case of Romanian capital market. The innovation is based on a scalable hedge-fund (HF) structure that capture different alternative instruments. This HF architecture represents a versatile dynamic AIF, equipped with capabilities to integrate the synergies between diversification based on alternative instruments but also the diversification based on alternative strategies and it integrates a core thematic sub-portfolio and 2-4 satellite rotating sub-portfolios capable to compensate the impossibility to use short sales and leverage strategies.
