Resilience Analysis of the European Insurance Industry
Authors: Vintilă Alexandra , Roman Mihai Daniel 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The insurance market does not generate only a risk dispersion tool, but constitutes a complex system that contributes to the efficient and effective functioning of the economy. In order to guarantee the fundamental role of this market in sustainable economic growth, insurers must prove resilience in the face of risk and uncertainty generated by the complexity of the system of interdependencies in which they operate. The purpose of the article is to analyze the resilience of the European insurance market, its adaptability to changes and the recovery of delays caused by recent health (especially the COVID-19 pandemic). The data used include variables that define the European insurance system (such as gross written premiums, gross claims incurred, total technical expenses, total assets, total liabilities and number of entities) from EIOPA’s annual statistics from 2017 to2023. Analysis tools include cluster analysis to evaluate the dissimilarity and similarity of European Union countries. The resilience of the insurance industry to shocks was also analyzed from the perspective of financial performance by using a clusterization analysis in order to group countries based on Euclidean distance. The results indicate a grouping of countries in two clusters whose composition remained relatively stable to shocks.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
This study aimed to formulate, characterize, and investigate the effects of herbal extract emulsions (HEE) on the growth of broiler chickens. The HEE were prepared with 0.3% herbal extracts, pharmaceutical excipients, and a 5% brown sugar solution as the continuous phase. The study was conducted with five groups, each with four replications, and three chicks per replication (completely randomized design). Mixed-sex broilers (n=60) were treated with 0.03% HEE in drinking water for five weeks, whereas one control group (n=12) received only regular drinking water. The preference rate for HEE in drinking water was determined by observing the consumption quantity over a designated period. Broiler chicken growth, including live weight, internal organ weight, carcass characteristics, percentage of abdominal fat, and feed conversion ratio (FCR) was observed in 40 birds slaughtered at the end of the trial. The 0.3% HEE preparations comprising moringa leaf extract, turmeric rhizome, or a mixture of both, were characterized as oil-in-water (o/w) emulsions, with a pH range of 5.6-6.5, and viscosity of 0.05-0.06 Pa.s. The treatment groups had significantly higher preference for the HEE-supplemented drinking water compared to the control. The mean live weight was 1,721.67-1,744.17 g/bird, mean internal organ weight 220.00-253.33 g/bird, carcass percent 70.41-74.20%, abdominal fat percent 0.90-1.94%, and mean FCR 1.55-1.60. This study showed that the HEE preparations were preferred and significantly influenced internal organ and abdominal fat weight. The carcass weight and FCR were non-significantly unaffected by HEE.
Polish Studies on Saturation Diving and Practical Application of Their Findings. Part 3B Technical and Organisational Issues of the Implementation of Saturation Diving in Poland from the 1990s Onwards. Part 3C
Authors: Skrzyński Stanisław 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This article is another in a series of articles on the research and implementation of saturation diving technology in Poland. It discusses the specificities related to the implementation of this technology against the background of economic and historical conditions in our country. In Poland, the issue of saturation diving for the needs of the emerging offshore mining industry has been for over a dozen years dealt with by the Department of Diving Equipment and Technology of Underwater Works (Polish abbr. ZSNiTPP). In parallel, deep diving technologies were developed, in the first stage, as a basic diving technology and, since 1994, as complementary to ensure the full backup for saturation diving. Since 1995, saturation diving has become an everyday occurrence in the Polish economic zone of the Baltic Sea. This article shows the difficult path that the implementation of saturation diving took during a period of economic instability when the scale of the domestic offshore industry’s facilities was small compared to global companies. Selected animators and participants in the implementation are recalled for two periods: one marked with the cooperation with the Italian underwater services company RANA and the other one, a period of implementation of long-term underwater works based on domestic capabilities. The article also considers the technical and organisational conditions for the implementation of saturation diving for the Polish mining industry. In 1990, the Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Company Petrobaltic (today LOTOS) played one of the key roles in the implementation of saturation diving in our country. The implementation of saturation diving in Poland was linked to the only operational diving system of Italian production, the Af-2, which enabled scientific research related to the application of new technical solutions and testing under operational conditions, as well as contributed to the development of scientific, engineering, and medical staff for the Polish offshore industry. The company played one of the main roles in the implementation of saturation diving in our country The 1995 became a landmark year in the history of saturation diving in Poland, as well as in the Baltic Sea. Through this technology, the process of installing the first two underwater exploitation heads on production wells B3-7 and B3-10 was initiated. The saturation diving was possible thanks to the leasing of the Af-2 diving system by Petrobaltic and its subsequent purchase by the Naval Academy in 1998.This system, after a series of upgrades, is still in service today.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
We researched for relationships between selected anthropometric parameters of the elite swimmers and their performance considering the biomechanical structure of the swimming start as well as preferred back plate position. The study group consisted of 13 female and 14 male swimmers. First, anthropometric measures were obtained with a 3D scanner (Mephisto EX-PRO, 4D Dynamics Bvba, Belg). Subsequently, participants performed a kickstart. An instrumented starting block and four video cameras were used to collect kinematic data of the starts. The footage was analyzed using SIMI Motion software. Then Pearson’s correlation coefficient was calculated. Athletes of both sexes with greater body height and longer upper limbs preferred to position the back plate further from the front of the starting block (r > 0.5). The duration of the push-off phase decreased with increasing body height and lower limb length (r = 0.64; r = 0.68). Males with higher body mass and longer upper limbs covered a longer distance during the flight phase (r = 0.75; r = 0.58). In the female group, a positive correlation was shown for torso length and flight time and distance (r = 0.67; r = 0.74). Males with higher body mass had shorter total start time (r = -0.67). Conscious individual choice of the starting position can result in an improvement in the quality of the swimming start. The obtained results allow for monitoring and evaluation of the individual technique of the swimming start and thus improve the training process.

Authors: Kąkol Marcin , Lozia Zbigniew 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The paper presents the results of experimental verification of the constructed simulation model of the two-axle vehicle - single-axle unbraked trailer assembly. The model describes the effect of the trailer’s centre of mass position on the braking distance. The constructed model and the assumptions adopted for its construction are described at the beginning. The acquired geometric and mass data of the vehicles used for the tests are presented. The further part of the paper describes road tests in real conditions, where the braking distance of the towing vehicle itself and the towing vehicle - loaded (in six variants) single-axle unbraked trailer assembly were assessed. The parameters of the road surface on which the tests were conducted were determined. During the tests, the distance travelled by the vehicles and the force applied to the brake pedal were recorded. The results of experimental verification of the constructed simulation model are presented, where the values of the braking distance and deceleration were assessed. The model with confirmed usefulness will be used as a software component, which will be a real effect of implementation in the workplace of the solution of one of the co-authors of this study. A utilitarian effect will also be obtained, expanding the knowledge of people dealing with the issue of road accidents (court experts and car appraisers). The summary contains conclusions and comments for further research. The research was carried out as part of the statutory work conducted at the Military Institute of Armoured and Automotive Technology.
Challenges and Opportunities in Implementing a Universal Social Health Protection Model: a Comparative Analysis of Low, Middle, and High-Income Countries
Authors: Moussane Aboutayeb , Elazzouzi Mohamed 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This article explores the dynamics of a social model associated with redistribution policies. We compare this model with Universal Health Coverage (UHC), specifically examining their influence on social health protection systems and the demand for health services across various countries. This influence is reflected in healthcare expenditures. To achieve this, we conducted a literature review. We employed descriptive statistics to analyze the relationships between key indicators, including the UHC Service Coverage Index and the proportion of direct (out-of-pocket) expenditure in healthcare. These indicators help assess the impact of social health protection systems on both the demand for health services and access to necessary care. The findings indicate that UHC coverage is lower in low- and middle-income countries compared to high-income countries. Additionally, we observe an increase in direct healthcare expenditures in low-income nations, while such expenditures are declining in high-income countries.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
The article refers to the BRICS, the reasons for their creation, which can be summarized in the dissatisfaction of the countries of the South with the way they are treated by the West, their strengths and weaknesses, as well as their rapid rise in importance. They are presided over by China and Russia, and their objectives are the overthrow of the present international order and its replacement by a new one, very different from the present one, as well as the dethroning of the dollar and its replacement by the currencies of the countries of the South, especially the rim nimbi and the ruble. The population of the countries belonging to the BRICS has exceeded that of the G7, and the BRICS have surpassed the G7 in terms of world GDP production. In the coming years the BRICS will generate most of the world’s economic growth.
Repetition in the essay "The Tragic Feeling of Life" by M. de Unamuno and its reflection in the translation by E.V. Garaggi from Spanish into Russian
Authors: Bakhturina Irina 
Published: February 2025

The article examines the cases of the use of different types of repetition in the essay "The tragic sense of life among people and nations" by the Spanish writer of the 98 generation Miguel de Unamuno and the importance of this stylistic means for the reader's perception of the text of the work, as well as the great importance it has for the analysis of the writer's individual authorial style. In addition, the paper considers various options for transferring repetitions in the translation of an essay from Spanish into Russian. The material for this study is the original text of Miguel de Unamuno's essay "The tragic sense of life among people and nations", as well as the translation of the above-mentioned essay into Russian by E.V. Garaji in the 1997 edition. In the process of analyzing repetitions in the work of Unamuno, we used the linguostylistic method, which is most suitable for studying the functional of repetition in the text of the essay. The basis for the structure of the work was the classification of repetitions by N. T. Golovkina. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that repetition in the author's works has never been the subject of independent scientific research before, and also in the fact that the translation considered in the work has never been considered in the context of translation theory before. In the course of the research, we were able to draw the following conclusions: in M. de Unamuno's work, repetition is one of the key stylistic means, and repetitions occur in the text at several linguistic levels – morphological, lexical and syntactic. In addition, we drew attention to the fact that since the translation of the work was part of a philosophical study, more attention was paid to the substantive part of the essay text, which led to the loss of some repetitions in the work and could affect the reader's perception of the text.

Published: February 2025

Background: Mobile banking adoption continues to grow, but user retention remains a challenge. Understanding the factors influencing continuance intention is crucial for improving long-term engagement. Prior research highlights the importance of confirmation, perceived usefulness, security, satisfaction, trust, and convenience, yet their interrelationships require further exploration. Objective: This study examines key determinants of users' intention to continue using mobile banking services, focusing on how confirmation, perceived usefulness, security, satisfaction, trust, and convenience influence this decision. Methods: A quantitative study was conducted using structural equation modeling (SEM) to analyze relationships among these factors. Data were collected from mobile banking users and assessed for statistical significance. Results: Confirmation significantly impacts perceived usefulness (0.576) and satisfaction (0.527). Perceived usefulness influences satisfaction (0.289) and continuance intention (0.396), while satisfaction also affects continuance intention (0.240). Trust plays a role (0.211), and perceived security strongly influences trust (0.651). Perceived convenience also impacts continuance intention (0.304), emphasizing its importance in user experience. Conclusion: Confirmation and security are critical for satisfaction and trust, which drive continued mobile banking use. Strengthening security, improving perceived usefulness, and fostering trust can enhance user retention. Future studies should explore additional variables, test the model across demographics, and assess the impact of emerging technologies like AI and blockchain. Longitudinal and experimental research may offer deeper insights into these evolving relationships.
