LA COOPERATION POUR LE DEVELOPPEMENT EN REPUBLIQUE DE MOLDAVIE: ENTRE EUROPEANISATION ET POLITISATION
Authors: MIKOLA Clara 
Published: July 2018

International Cooperation in the Republic of Moldova: between Europeanization and Politicization. This article analyses the European road of the Republic of Moldova trough the development policies of Romania and the European Union. In order to analyze the Europeanization process in Moldova, we are going to use a comparative approach. Romania’s bilateral development policies sustain the Europeanization of the Republic of Moldova as much as the multilateral European Union policies do. Nevertheless, we identified a difference of perspective between the two actors. The core of our argument is provisionally anticipated by the common history of Romania and Moldova that suggests how the relationships between external boundary and internal structuring can be used in order to explain the national preferences of bilateral development policies. This article explores the difference of perspective between the EU and its Member-State by describing structural profiles for individual choices showing how much can be gained by bringing together two similar, but different perspectives of development.

Résumé: Cet article analyse la gestion du parcours européen de l’Etat moldave à travers la coopération pour le développement roumaine et celle de l’Union européenne. L’analyse se fera selon une approche comparative à l’égard des finalités visées par les politiques de développement en République de Moldavie. Nous allons prendre appui sur l’Union européenne en tant qu’acteur supranational et sur la Roumanie comme acteur bilatéral. La différence de perspective à l’égard de la gestion du parcours européen de la Moldavie relève de l’histoire commune que la Roumanie a eue avec cette dernière. Pourtant, les deux bailleurs ne poursuivent pas une approche différente de la coopération pour le développement. Tant l’Union européenne, que la Roumanie focalisent l’aide au soutien de l’Etat de droit, à la paix, à la sécurité et au développement durable. Malgré de perspectives différentes, la Roumanie et l’UE ne déploient pas de stratégies différentes. La coopération bilatérale de la Roumanie en République de Moldavie ne fait pas concurrence à celle de l’Union européenne. L’Etat roumain renforce ses capacités à travers la légitimité que lui confère l’identité européenne et apaise les critiques unionistes à son égard.

Civil Society in Romania. In the following, the concept of civil society in the sense of the opposition movement during the period of communist rule will be used, in order to better understand the development of today's civil society as an active player in Romania. It sheds light on the difficulties associated with the formation and consolidation of an intact civil society in Romania. On the one hand, this should clarify the state of development of the democratic constitution of the Romanian citizens and, on the other hand, identify the problems that confront today's Romanian civil society.

Zusammenfassung: Im Folgenden wird auf das Konzept der Zivilgesellschaft im Sinne der oppositionelle Bewegung während der Zeit der kommunistischen Herrschaft zurückgegriffen, um anschließend und daraus die Entwicklung der heutigen Zivilgesellschaft als handlungsfähiger Akteur in Rumänien besser begreifen zu können. Beleuchtet werden hierbei die Schwierigkeiten mit denen die Herausbildung als auch Festigung einer intakten Zivilgesellschaft in Rumänien verbunden ist. Daran soll zum einen der Entwicklungsstand der demokratischen Verfasstheit der rumänischen Bürger deutlich werden und zum anderen die Probleme festgestellt werden mit denen sich die heutige Zivilgesellschaft Rumäniens konfrontieren muss.

Abstract
A number of pregnant women all over the world suffer from depression and are treated during gestation with antidepressants, mostly with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. Exposure to prenatal stress is also a great risk factor for a developing fetus and could be responsible for altered fetal development or various neurobehavioral disturbances of a child. Administration of selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor venlafaxine is associated with various cardiovascular adverse effects, such as tachycardia, increased blood pressure, arrhythmias and hypertensive crisis. The aim of this study was to focus on the effect of pre-gestational chronic mild unpredictable stress and/or administration of antidepressant venlafaxine (10 mg/kg/day, p. o.) on specific parameters, determining the function of the cardiovascular system of male and female rat offspring. Blood pressure and standard ECG were recorded in the offspring. Exposure to pre-gestational stress did not cause significant changes in the systolic, diastolic blood pressure and pulse frequency either in males or in females, compared to the unexposed control animals. Pre-gestational stress caused the shortening of QT interval and prolongation of QRS complex duration in males. On the other hand, in females, the effects of pre-gestational stress were potentiated by the administration of venlafaxine and resulted in elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure, prolonged QT interval and shortened QRS complex duration, compared to the control. In conclusion, the female rat offspring are more sensitive to exposure to pre-gestational, to chronic mild unpredictable stress and venlafaxine.

Published: July 2018

Abstract
The mediation process is a relatively new form in the legal treatment of legal disputes in Albania. The mediation process is the forerunner of solving a conflict between the parties, and unites them for a unanimous request to the court. The media as the fourth power plays a powerful role in addressing many social and state processes. The role of the media in the overall development of society has already been highlighted, and today in the era of information technology, of course, the media for such delicate issues plays a huge role. The purpose of the article is to highlight the role of media treatment or mediatisation of the mediation process as well as the analysis of the consequences of this process. Mediated cases mediated in the media are accompanied by various reactions, both from the official side of the institutions, which are directly or indirectly affected, but also from the public opinion. Like the nature of legal conflicts, social conflicts are also endless. Often legal complications are even worse because of disagreements between individuals, even when they pursue the same goal.

Abstract
Psychological disorders such as depression are common. Many of these disorders can be evaluated and diagnosed, and above all they are preventable. This study was conducted with the aim of determining depression prevalence rate and its related factors among students of Quchan University of Technology, Quchan, Iran. In a cross-sectional study, 359 students were selected by using simple random sampling. Demographic characteristics were gathered and subjects were evaluated by the Beck’s Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Beck’s Anxiety Inventory (BAI). SPSS software was used for statistical analysis and logistic regression, Chi-square and Mann-Whitney tests were utilized for this purpose. The age mean of students was 21.02±2.57 (Mean, SD). 93 (25.9%) subjects suffer from depression and 266 (74.1%) subjects are not depressed. There is no significant difference between depression and each of these variables: gender, body mass index (BMI), marital status, field of study, living in dormitory, and depression (p-value>0.05); but there was significant difference between depressed and non-depressed students in terms of salary, anxiety, educational level, and satisfaction with field of study (p-value<0.05). According to the results, anxiety (OR=0.2), educational level (OR=5.03), satisfaction with field of study (OR=0.5) and monthly income (OR=3.76) impact depression. Improving the students’ consultancy in universities can be helpful to decrease anxiety. In addition, consultants can prepare students for selecting their favorite field of study. Also, it is suggested that university officials provide financial facilities such as interest-free loan for students.

Published: July 2018

Summary

Objective. In lower limb peripheral artery disease the most commonly used method for the assessment of the main arterial system is represented by the determination of ankle-brachial index (ABI). The post-occlusive reactive hyperaemia (PORH) is a controversial method used for the evaluation of primary collateral circulation. The follow-up of these patients has an underestimated part, their quality of life. The aim of this study is to evaluate this and highlight the importance of the PORH in the sight of optimal treatment.

Method. 34 patients diagnosed with lower extremity artery disease, receiving conservative treatment, the ankle-brachial index was defined with a Doppler Bistos BT-200, 8 MHz device, the PORH was evaluated with a Bidop ES-100V, an instrument which sends information for a Smart-V-Link software. To assess the quality of life we used the VascuQol-6 test.

Results. The age (mean ± SD) of the patients was 67.24±9.51, 52.92% were active smokers. A significant positive correlation was found between PORH and the results of VascuQol-6 test (p=0.02, r=0.38) and an inverse correlation between ABI <0.5 and VascuQol-6 >12. We noticed a significant difference between the VascuQol-6 result at smokers and non-smokers (p=0.02).

Conclusions. The quality of life can be acceptable at patients with significant stenosis on the main artery and decreased ankle-brachial index due to presence of the collateral artery system with a maintained ability of vasodilatation represented by PORH. The efficiency of the treatmet is based on quitting smoking, starting programs which are helping patients to quit smoking would be useful.

Published: July 2018

Summary
Subclinical hypothyroidism (HSC) is a relatively common thyroid dysfunction, characterized by the increase of the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in the presence of normal free thyroxine values. Thyroid hormones are known for the cardiovascular effects, and the consequences of HSC on the cardiovascular system have become the focus of many studies lately. There are clear indications of the relationship between HSC and cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis; also, HSC is associated with metabolic syndrome, BMI increase and cardiac insufficiency. Therefore, many clinical trials investigate the benefits and risks of HSC treatment with L-thyroxine.

Published: July 2018

Abstract
Atrial myxomas are common benign tumors localized in the left atrium (85%). The diagnosis is often made during routine examination due to the fact that they are usually asymptomatic. Sometimes the complications of these benign tumors, consisting in embolic events and obstructive valvular disfunction, may be alarm signs that reveal the underlying pathological condition.
We report the case of a 63-years-old female presenting with non-specific symptoms, the echocardiography was the one that showed the left atrial mass. The particularity that made this case special was the fact that the anticoagulation indication for the atrial fibrillation discovered on the ECG was correlated with the presence of the thrombocytopenia, so the final decision was to postpone it till the surgery. After the removal of the atrial tumor the sinusal rhythm was restored and the combination of beta-blockers and antiplatelet was the best therapeutic choice.

Published: July 2018

Abstract
Carrying out studies on the impact of the development of tourism in a community allows to have information about the positive or negative perception in the economic, sociocultural and environmental aspects that are part of their environment. The present empirical research was developed in situ on the Santay Island Ramsar site and protected area located in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Using a questionnaire, the perception of the Community in the face of tourism development was analysed, evidencing that the positive aspects most valued by the commune were “The inhabitants of the island feel more pride for belonging to it” (sociocultural aspect), “Improvement of access roads to the Island” (environmental aspect), “Improvement of quality of life “(sociocultural aspect),” Improves the quality of service in restaurants, shops and cabins in the area “(sociocultural aspect) and” Contribution to improve the standard of living “(economic aspect). The benefits derived from tourism development (positive aspects) outnumber and score the costs (negative aspects), so the community is in favour of tourism development. The general satisfaction of the commune with the tourism development in Isla Santay is considered a high. The variables that show a significant and positive correlation in community satisfaction with tourism development are the “Improvement of investments, more development and more infrastructure”.
Using Computers in Teaching in Higher Education

Published: July 2018

Abstract
This paper describes advantages of using computers in teaching, but also problems that occur, as well as possibilities for their elimination. The main goal of the research is the formation of images which show the use of computers in higher education. The paper presents the results of a survey conducted among students of the Faculty of Education in Sombor (Serbia) about the use of computers in teaching. A sample of 126 respondents comprises students of the last year of all study programs. The results show that students and professors have a positive attitude about using computers in education and knowledge dissemination through computers. Most of them think that teachers have mastered basic computer knowledge, but give priority to teachers who know how to work with a computer, as well as to younger teachers. Students believe that many barriers occur during the use of computers, among which the most important is the inaccessibility of technical equipment. All barriers can be overcome through useful and practical computer seminars.

Published: July 2018

Abstract
The didactics from its educational perspective, is located in the axis of reflection and theoretical operational projection, from the edge of interaction and communication, between the being of education and the dissimilar educational models. Therefore, the present study is based on generating a theoretical approach that arises from the practice of university professors. In this case, the Universidad Iberoamericana del Ecuador (UNIB.E) will be used as the research scenario. As a first objective, the didactic models that are frequent in the practice of university professors were analyzed. The second objective of the study was to interpret the relationship between the explicit theories, and those of common use, that university professors develop in their practice. To this end, the researchers carried out qualitative research based on the interpretative-hermeneutic paradigm, using a method of analysis and ethnographic study. Structured interviews and observations, both validated through expert judgement, were used as data collection techniques. Based on the information obtained, the importance of strengthening the didactic training of some teachers was detailed as important manifestations. Highlighting the conceptualization and effective application of the different models that arise in the andragogical practices of higher education.
Sexuality Education to Adolescent Girls: A Panacea to Reducing the Incidence of ‘Baby Factories’ in South East Nigeria
Authors: Ohia Nkiru Christiana , Obi-Keguna Christy N. , Nzewi Uchenna M. 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
In Nigeria, sexuality education was given to young people as they undergo rites of passage at the onset of puberty. It is expected that as this no longer obtains, the immediate family and the school should take on the duty. In this study, the researchers sought to know if giving sexuality education to adolescent girls will serve as a panacea to reducing teenage pregnancies and ‘baby factories’ in South East Nigeria. The subjects for the study were 22 adolescents girls of between ages 12 to 17 who supplied narrative accounts of the sexual experiences that led to their getting pregnant. The result showed that information on sexuality is still not accessible to teenagers making them pawns in the hands of people that exploit their ignorance. Based on the result, it is recommended that the family and schools should make sexuality related information available to teenage girls.
Never Let Me Down: A Case-study of Slovenian Policy Measures to Prevent Early School Leaving
Authors: Makovec Danijela , Radovan Marko 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
In this article, we discuss the factors that influence early school leaving, and the measures that were taken in Slovenia to prevent it. Reducing early school leaving (ESL) to less than 10% by 2020 is one of the key objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy and Slovenia is already well below this target. According to recent analysis, Slovenia has one of the lowest rate of ESL among EU countries. In our review we will examine the reasons for such a low ESL rate and inspect institutional and policy measures that Slovenia has undertaken in order to reduce ESL and retain students in education as long as possible. We argue that Slovenia is successful in reducing ESL because of a wide-spread network of secondary schools, and measures that are directed in individualization, guidance and support for less successful students. In our estimation, one of the main reasons for the low rate of ESL in Slovenia is also the openness of vocational education system, that allows horizontal and vertical transitions. An area that needs additional attention from policy makers, concerns high-risk groups of students. There is also a need for teachers to develop additional inter-cultural and communication competencies, and schools should receive more funding for Slovenian language courses, working with the Roma, programs individualization for special needs students, extended schooling for students with special needs etc.
