Published: July 2023

It is indicated that in the context of the development of Ukraine as a legal state, the modern development of human rights in Ukraine, the evolution of civil society, the development of the legal status of refugees and Ukrainians abroad, migration processes, the study of the issue of the concept of the constitutional and legal status of Ukrainians abroad is of important practical and theoretical importance.
The issue of the evolution of political and legal opinion regarding the constitutional and legal status of Ukrainians abroad becomes important considering the modern development of the constitutional and legal status of Ukrainians abroad, migration processes, globalization, the need for effective protection of the rights and legitimate interests of Ukrainians abroad, as well as the preservation of their linguistic and cultural identity. cooperation of Ukraine with Ukrainians abroad, their communities and non-governmental organizations.
The evolution of political and legal opinion regarding the constitutional and legal status of Ukrainians abroad has been going on for a long time and has already gone through various stages.
As part of the evolution of political and legal opinion regarding the constitutional and legal status of Ukrainians abroad, the following stages can be distinguished:1. The stage from the times of Kyivan Rus until 1917.2. The period of the Ukrainian national liberation struggle of 1917-1922.3. Stage of Soviet Ukraine.4. The stage of formation of the foundations of the constitutional and legal status of Ukrainians abroad in independent Ukraine from August 24, 1991 to March 4, 2004.5. The newest stage of the development of the constitutional and legal status of Ukrainians abroad, which began on March 4, 2004, after the adoption of the Law of Ukraine “On Ukrainians Abroad”.
The first of the above-mentioned stages of the evolution of political and legal opinion regarding the constitutional and legal status of Ukrainians abroad is considered in more detail.
Review of the manuscript of the collective monograph "Law-making and law-making in the conditions of martial law and peace-building" according to general ed. N.M. Parkhomenko (Kyiv, 2023)
Authors: Byelov D. 
Published: July 2023

The full-scale war led to the search and introduction of new legal means aimed at restoring and maintaining law and order, protecting the civilian population, organizing the military-industrial and humanitarian complex, and the functioning of all spheres of social relations. Ukrainian society is still adapting to the realities of the war waged by the Russian Federation against Ukraine. Accordingly, the political, economic, and social relations of Ukraine are in constant dynamics and require legal influence.
Law-making has always been and remains a complex and multifaceted legal activity that requires comprehensive research. Therefore, the relevance of the prepared monograph "Law-making and law-making in the conditions of martial law and peace-building" does not cause doubts and objections. It should be emphasized right away that this work is based on a significant source base and deep analytical work carried out by the author's team. Moreover, it is worth noting the thorough approach of the author's team to the selection of the theoretical and methodological foundations of the research, outlined in the monograph. This undoubtedly helps in understanding the issues raised in the peer-reviewed work, and in some cases provides additional arguments in favor of the positions advocated by scientists.
A Performance-Driven Economic Analysis of a LSTM Neural Network Used for Predicting Building Energy Consumption
Authors: Bălăcian Delia , Stancu Stelian 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The energy sector occupies a central role in European policy regarding the sustainability and climate change ambitions. This economic sector gained even more importance in the context of a growing energy demand and the threat to energy security and stability in Eastern Europe. The administrative changes from the past years and the shift towards renewable energy sources created the momentum for a general transformation of the energy sector. The research in this field is much needed in order to find the best solutions to predict the energy demand and how to efficiently satisfy it. The purpose of this paper is to assess the economic impact of using artificial neural networks on a dataset that captures information from one building about the energy consumption. The network follows a Long – Short Term Memory architecture and it is characterized by a Root Mean Squared Propagation function for optimization. The analysis consists in the comparison of the performance of three activation functions: Rectified Linear Unit, Sigmoid and Tanh. The results complement the existing research in the field by focusing on the prediction of energy consumption at building level. The case study indicates that the Rectified Linear Unit and Tanh functions are more appropriate than Sigmoid to be used in an LSTM network applied on energy consumption data. The former performs better in terms of accuracy, measured by the Mean Absolute Value, and has similar computational costs to Tanh, with a slightly larger value for training time.
The Need to Decarbonise the Energy Sector to Reduce Pollution and Its Negative Impact on Human Health
Authors: Doroftei Laura-Alexandra , Militaru Gheorghe , Bitir-Istrate Ioan 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
One of the most polluting industries is the fossil fuel energy industry. The production of energy from lignite has direct pollution (stack of thermal power plants emissions) or indirect pollution (caused by coal mining). The main pollutants are suspended particles, heavy metals, and other toxic substances. In areas where the limits of these pollutants are exceeded, there is a high risk of population-level health problems, such as circulatory, respiratory, nervous, and immune systems. In the current state of the scientific literature, there are studies that demonstrate the connection between the pollution caused by the coal energy industry and the negative health effects in people who have been exposed to increased amounts of these emissions. However, few studies address this topic in Gorj County. The research methodology used in this paper includes an initial presentation of the polluting substances found in the area, the possible diseases that result, and the correlation between them.
The study identified the main diseases that can affect the population in areas where the pollution limits for certain substances are exceeded. It also features a graphic representation by means of a map of the areas with a higher risk of the occurrence of these diseases. This paper aimed to study the need to decarbonize the energy sector from the point of view of the impact on human health. The work has both a theoretical contribution by creating the literature that addressed this topic, and a practical one, representing an information resource for decision-makers in the development of health, environmental, economic, or energy policy. The results highlight the need for increased attention in protection, monitoring, staff allocation, treatment provision, and budget allocation to protect the health of the population in these areas.

Healthcare Environmental Footprint: Proposal to Deliver Sustainability through an Innovative Value Stream Using a Circular Economy Approach
Authors: Leiva William 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Over the last 10 years, the most recent innovations in the field of organic chemistry have been significantly driven by both industry needs and environmental concerns. On the former, industrial applications and production processes have evolved to reduce carbon footprint and to reduce the reliance on oil-based organic material precursors. On the latter, increasing concerns around accelerated global warming, have kindled the search for solutions, including lower carbon footprint, recyclability, and upcycling of novel materials.
To 2015, the healthcare industry accounted for about 5.7% of the carbon emission with a severe impact in carbon, SO2, Nitrogen and particulate matter. Specifically, what relates to greenhouses, the global contribution accounts to 24 Gton of CO2, which has largely increased due the immense use of disposable devices during the pandemic. Current evidence points towards a substantial interest in the reduction of carbon footprint in the healthcare settings, yet with limited success across the largest health care providers. This study approaches the topic from a literature review and an empirical approach based on previous and ongoing research on the field of additive manufacturing and the use of bio-based materials for medical devices applications, which has been conducted utilizing mechanical, economic and microbiological assessments to address the research question of how to better address the carbon footprint of the healthcare industry, limited to some surgical procedures. This research points towards the direction that the implementation of an on-site solution may help to address some of the sustainability challenges healthcare facilities face while enhancing their circular economy approach. This research is intended to pave the way for further research including specific research to enhance the understanding of the solutions and how these may fit the current regulatory landscape.
Urban Resilience and Security Today. Difficulties of the Multi-Domains and Factor-Based Approach between Theory and Practice
Authors: Bucoveţchi Olga , Badea Dorel 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Urban resilience is a critical issue for cities around the world facing a range of challenges such as natural disasters, climate change, and socio-economic crises. The multi-dimensional nature of urban resilience suggests that it is dependent on a variety of factors, including physical infrastructure, social networks, economic systems, and governance structures. This paper examines the dependencies of urban resilience on different elements in a comparative study of five cities. A comprehensive review of the existing literature on urban resilience identifies key dimensions and elements of urban resilience, including physical infrastructure, social networks, economic systems, and governance structures. Factors that contribute to urban resilience, including the quality of physical infrastructure, social capital, economic diversity, environmental quality, and effective governance structures, are also discussed. A mixed-methods approach was used in the study, including a literature review and empirical research. Five cities were selected for examination: Tokyo, New York City, Rio de Janeiro, Mumbai, and Lagos. The empirical data on the dependencies of urban resilience on different elements are presented for each of the five cities, followed by a discussion of the interplay between different elements and how they contribute to urban resilience.
Bitcoin, Gold and Crude Oil versus the US Dollar – A GARCH Volatility Analysis
Authors: Darie Flavius Cosmin , Miron Alexandra Dorina 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The aim of this study is to compare and contrast the volatility of different asset classes namely Bitcoin, gold and crude oil against the US dollar, using the symmetric GARCH (1,1) model. Furthermore, this study examines which of the three assets provide the lowest volatility and identifies if the univariate GARCH (1,1) model can suitably forecast the volatility of the foreign exchange market, commodity market and cryptocurrency market. More specifically, this study uses only estimates from a symmetric GARCH model for the XAU/USD, WTI/USD and BTC/USD financial assets. Although the literature on the volatility of different assets is extensive, it neglects to detect the severe economic recession that is approaching. Considering that powerful nations purchased substantial quantities of gold in order to back their national currency, supremacy of the US dollar is under significant attack. Experts in international relations have claimed that it is essential to have a single, extremely influential national economy to exhibit stability and operate smoothly. Specifically, the international monetary system functioned under the theory of hegemonic stability. Given the fact that gold still remains the safe haven asset during periods of financial and economic distress, central banks are purchasing gold at a rapid pace with Russia and China leading the way. Furthermore, the demand for precious metals has also increased while the US dollar is struggling to keep its supremacy as BRICS reserve currency is seeking to replace it in the future. The daily data encompassing the necessary information for February 2012 - February 2020 is acquired from “Investing.com”, reaching 7193 observations. This study will enrich the literature associated with volatility forecasting of different asset classes during financial and economic turmoil while also raising awareness of the economic threats that could follow.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
This paper sets out to investigate the impact of the VUCA world (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) on the vulnerability and resilience of incoming migrants in Romania, as well as on their integration patterns. Vulnerability and resilience are conceptualized through the four elements of the VUCA world. Data was collected through 35 semi-structured, psycho-social interviews, and 4 focus groups carried out between January 2020 and November 2021 with young migrants (aged 18 to 29). Participants came from two ethnic backgrounds: young migrants of Arab and Moldovan origins. Results show that much of VUCA is generated by the lack of employment opportunities and by the bureaucratic public administration. At the same time, the challenges raised by the VUCA world for migrants can be reduced through the improvement of destination language skills and through the development of social networks.
COVID-19 Impact on Romania’s Agri-Food Trade: Opportunity or Threat
Authors: Saracutu Ionuț 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The COVID-19 virus has led to a globally general panic, followed by social and economic decline especially in 2020, but with consequences also extending to 2021. However, worldwide the agrifood sector has been only slightly affected due the fact that is a strategic sector, of major importance, and the global value chains have worked through the innovative solutions and the agility of producers, distributors and retailers. Governments have also played an important role through concrete measures to support the agri-food sector. The objective of this paper is to analyze COVID-19 impact and to highlight the effects on Romania’s agri-food trade. The analyzed period is 2010-2020, but with a particular focus on the last two closed years, 2019 and 2020 (before the pandemic and during the pandemic). The results show that the coronavirus pandemic was not an opportunity for the Romanian agri-food sector, as the value of exports decreased in 2020 compared to 2019, due government’s decision from 10 April 2020 to ban grain exports outside the EU. Another determining factor that caused these negative results in 2020 was the severe drought and the sensitivity due to rudimentary agricultural practices, lack of automation, lack of modern equipment and innovation. On this negative background the agri-food trade deficit increased.

Authors: Tudorache Adrian Tudor 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The COVID-19 health crisis generated an economic crisis at global level and consequently determined numerous economic disturbances at different levels. The study of the economic impact of the health crisis at various levels became legitimate in order to identify the influences of the health crisis on the economic activity, among others. This paper concentrates on the study of the impact of the COVID-19 health crisis on international trade with the focus on two countries. The regression method was used to measure the impact of the COVID-19 burden (number of cases and number of deaths) on the international trade flows of two Central and Eastern European countries from European Union, namely Romania and Poland. The analysis includes the first two years of the pandemics, 2020-2021. The results of the analysis illustrate that the COVID-19 burden had an effect on international trade in the two countries. The import flows were more affected than export flows by COVID-19 in both countries in the analyzed period. However, the influences differed in the two countries, with international trade in Poland being more affected by COVID-19 than that in Romania.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
The tourism industry is a leading sector interested in the 2030 Agenda and represents one of its primary constituencies. It is increasingly acknowledged as the driving economic force in several nations, there has arisen the need for a sustainable paradigm for this industry, being included in two of the 17 goals for sustainable development- 8.9 and 12.7b with the most relevance to the tourist industry. In this light, this study aims to investigate the research area of the most significant consequences of tourism in connection to the objectives of sustainable development by mapping the relevant literature based on an analysis of its content. To accomplish the goal of the study, 245 papers from the Google Academics database spanning the years 2015-2021 have been taken out. The empirical findings revealed that the body of the scientific articles contains the terms “tourist,” “sustainable development,” “environment,” “SGDs,” “culture,” “local,” “industry,” and “community” most often. The empirical data stress the following word combinations as being the most encountered when looking at the most correlated words within the scientific content of the papers. These word combinations are as follows: sustainable-development-tourism, economic-goals, tourismsupport- impact-future, local-resources-management, sustainable-community, or study-related-sustainabilityenvironmental are some topics that might be discussed. In addition, the findings of the topic modeling showed the presence of four primary categories of subjects that are covered by this region, as follows: The first topic, “Topic 1,” investigates the connection between tourism and the environment. In contrast, the second topic, “Topic 2,” examines the implications of tourism regarding the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Topic 3, “Topic 3,” is about the connection between tourism and local economies, and the final topic is about the connection between tourism and cultural heritage.

Authors: Moise Dumitru-Florin 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The net profit is the primary goal of every business focused on commercial activity. It is the source of further company’s development, and it is followed by all the stakeholders. Its relative size is the basis of the shareholders return through dividends. This paper studies the influence of several factors as the company size, financing structure or assets efficiency on the net profit for the companies with positive results. The data was analyzed for a period of 12 years, from 2009 until 2020. The sample consists in 3109 companies specialized in vegetal nutrition in the Romanian Agri-sector. The company size is defined by the turnover, the financing structure is represented by the level of equity, long-term debts and short-term debts and the return on assets reflects the assets efficiency. Each factor is influencing in a different manner the net profit of the companies. The hypothesis of the study refers to the relationship between net profit and the above factors. A correlation analyses was performed using SPSS software for determining the strength and directions between variables, combined with a descriptive analyses and reliability tests as Cronbach’s and F. The results show that there is a high positive correlation with equity, a moderate positive with turnover and short-term debts, low positive with long-term debts and negligible correlation with return on assets. The conclusion is that the shareholders behavior reflected in the dividend policy can have a significant influence on the relative size of the net profit.
