Medical Devices Management System Based on Blockchain Technology
Authors: Vicoveanu Dragoş Ionuţ , Geman Oana , Balcos Carina , Prelipceanu Marius 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
The recent use of digital Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) in the healthcare domain can surpass the existing limitations in the centralized IT systems, such as the lack of security, access control or immutability of the electronic health information. If we discuss about clinical information, this innovative informatics advance gives back the control to the data owner. In decentralized environments, smart contracts allow trustable agreements grounded by irreversible transactions, which permit transparency and traceability. Moreover, smart contracts are the living heart of the decentralized applications that run on DTL. In this work, our attention is focused on medical equipments that helps health staff to diagnose and treat patients keeping much of their clinical data taken in dynamics. Hence, we propose a smart contract-based decentralized application framework for the management of devices, targeting also medical services, meant to facilitate the interaction of the involved entities. Our testing environment is the Ethereum platform, extensively used recently in the healthcare domain, being itself a smart operating system that allows decentralized applications to run on it.
Mach’s Principle in the Acoustic World
Authors: Simaciu Ion , Dumitrescu Gheorghe , Borsos Zoltan , Baciu Anca 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to investigate the coupled oscillations of multiple bubbles within a cluster. The interaction between a bubble and the other bubbles in a cluster produces an additional mass. For a fixed number of bubbles and uniformly distributed (N ---gt------gt--- 1), in case of a certain value of the bubbles number density, we deduce the relations analogous to the Eddington relation (between the cluster radius and the bubble radius) and the Sciama relation (between the cluster radius and the gravitoacoustic radius) according to Mach’s Principle.
Acoustic Black Hole Generated by a Cluster of Oscillating Bubbles
Authors: Borsos Zoltan , Simaciu Ion , Dumitrescu Gheorghe , Drafta Viorel 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
The paper demonstrates that a liquid becomes inhomogeneous in interaction with an oscillating bubbles cluster. Because the refractive index of the liquid around the cluster has a radial variation, a spherical acoustic lens is generated. Under certain restrictive conditions, the acoustic lens behaves like an acoustic black hole.
Digital Platforms and Competition Policy: A Business-Ethical Assessment
Authors: Wörsdörfer Manuel 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
The debate around ‘big tech’ and competition law and policy has gained traction over the past few years – not least because of the various ongoing antitrust investigations in China, Europe, and the U.S. This paper builds on the renewed interest in the topic and discusses the key characteristics of digital markets, the business models and strategies of major tech platforms such as Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google, and the corresponding antitrust issues. It does so by utilizing a distinct business ethics perspective, i.e., ordoliberalism. By doing so, the paper not only aims to enrich the current debate on big tech and antitrust; it also intends to illustrate the continuing relevance and importance of ‘German neoliberalism’ in the 21st century.
Socially Responsible Consumers – A Trojan Horse of Neoliberalism?
Authors: Thompson Craig , Kumar Ankita 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Political consumerism is often presented as a viable means against the environmental degradation and socio-economic inequality posed by shareholder capitalism and carbon-intensive consumer lifestyles. The idea is that privatized and voluntary solutions to societal problems by individuals in the role of consumers are preferable to legal, political, and regulatory remedies. However, not all agree that political consumerism will be able to solve our planet’s problems. Critics question whether consumers can be sufficiently mobilized by market-based mechanisms to act as risk managers towards socially beneficial ends and to shape the behavior of large corporations. The in-depth study of the Slow Food Movement suggests that market-mediated approaches need not be condemned in the context of political consumerism. Political consumerism won’t be the savior of our world, but it is one of the many pieces in the puzzle of a more sustainable society.
Good Intentions – Thoughtless Buying Decisions: Understanding and Breaking Barriers to Ethical Consumption
Authors: Reczek Rebecca Walker , Irwin Julie , Zane Danny 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
When shopping for fun products, it is often easy to avoid troublesome information. Consumers use coping strategies to maintain a good mood and avoid the emotional difficulty of thinking about ideas such as labor mistreatment or environmental problems. In addition to not seeking ethical information or misremembering it, consumers also negatively judge others who do not remain willfully ignorant. Companies can act against undesirable short- and long-term effects of consumers’ coping strategies. They can provide information about ethical product aspects right when consumers make their purchase decisions and they can reduce consumers’ effort to collect such information. Also, companies should refrain from comparing more and less ethical consumers. The timing and availability of ethical information are crucial to prevent a vicious cycle. Consumers who make ethical decisions themselves should feel less compelled to think negatively of other ethical consumers, which should encourage them to continue being ethical consumers in the future.
Vegans and Vaccines: A Tale of Competing Identity Goals
Authors: Beverland Michael B. 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Many vegans feel torn between their personal beliefs about animal exploitation and their desire to protect themselves and loved ones from COVID-19, as well as to act as responsible members of society. The dilemma between being true to vegan values and protection gets even more critical as accessing many of the services that make life worth living may require a vaccine certificate. To be at ease with themselves, consumers with competing identity goals use several strategies. They create their own echo chambers to justify their decision for themselves or they compensate for inconsistent behavior. Organizations can apply certain strategies to help consumers overcome such conflicts and act in desired ways, like taking vaccinations. These strategies include building partnerships with other organizations and further segmenting relevant groups to identify and concentrate on more open sub-groups and convince them with specific and targeted information and materials.
No More Plastic Bags: Overcoming Consumer Resistance to Sustainability Regulation
Authors: Joubert Alison M. , Gonzalez-Arcos Claudia , Scaraboto Daiane , Sandberg Jorgen , Guesalaga Rodrigo 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Facilitating more sustainable consumer behavior through regulation is often more complex than expected. One way to significantly reduce consumer resistance to sustainability interventions is shifting the focus from changing individual behavior to changing the required social practices. While some consumers find new sense more easily and change their habits without much effort, others get distracted, discouraged and delay acceptance and the reconfiguration of the practice. If, like in our case, plastic bags are removed, consumers expect that retailers provide alternative materials for carrying the purchased goods. At the point of sale, advice for accommodating the change can reduce anger and frustration directed at the new situation and help consumers feel a sense of pride and satisfaction. If the bags are also used for garbage disposal, alternative solutions should be pointed out, and consumers should be informed which concrete contribution the measure can achieve.
Better Product Labels for Better Consumer Choices
Authors: Stoltenberg Birgit , Unfried Matthias , Manewitsch Vladimir 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
One way to support consumers in their decision-making is by using product labels or quality seals. The labels help consumers decide whether products meet their own needs and preferences. As the main function of labels is to highlight product characteristics in a simple and transparent way, designing a label is a big challenge: On the one hand, they have to be concise and allow for easy orientation; on the other hand, they often have to explain complex criteria and information. The study shows that the design of a label has a direct impact on the assessment of a product and on purchasing behavior. To ensure that a label works as intended and produces the desired effects, it should be tested in advance. Both consumer perception and the resulting choices can be tested in practice. If decision biases are observed, the label can still be modified. To fully use the potential of product labels, it is important to know and optimize their effect.
1. Neuro-Psychological Benefits of Music Education
Authors: Iușcă Dorina Geta 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
The importance of music for the development of society and the individual has been proved over time in a variety of educational and cultural situations. The cortical representations of musical functions (such as melody, harmony, absolute pitch, timbre, rhythm, music memory, and music emotions) offer new perspectives on the implications that musical training has on the development of the brain. Multiple studies have showed that musicians exhibit hyper-development of certain areas of their brains and obtain better results when motor skills, visual tasks and music related processing abilities were tested.

Authors: Cosumov Marina 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Lifelong learning is characterized by continuity and globalism, involving all levels and types of education. The modern vision of education treats artistic and music education as a continuous individual process of spiritual self-fulfillment of the educated through multiple forms of contact with the arts, these being also ways of reflecting the intimate and external universes of the educated.

Authors: Tudor Brîndușa 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
In order to be able to reveal the constructive value and expressive force of Schubert’s piano sonatas, one needs first of all a good edition that rends as precisely as possible the author’s original text, as well the pianist’s skill to bring score to life, therefore managing to transpose in his interpretation the composer’s creative intentions, that are set by using the musical notation. We wish to highlight below some aspects of Schubert’s musical notation regarding dynamics and sonority, sound emitting manners (legato and staccato) and pedalling.
11. Motivation and Creativity in Working with Pop/Rock/Jazz Bands of Secondary and High School Level
Authors: Cojocaru-Spînu Ramona Mariana 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
The national offer of extra-curricular activities started including in the past few years the pop/rock/jazz bands as part of non-formal education, either in institutions like Children’s Palace or in private music schools, as a direct consequence of the manifested interest of the students in this direction. The teachers coordinating secondary and highschool level bands are challenged to find ways to keep the students engaged and motivated for longer periods of time. Student’s motivation is related to their need of being listened to and to be consulted in regards of the decisions that concern the ensemble they belong to and to their image that this activity is a project-based one and requires time, and in this project they can contribute with abilities from other domains. This article suggests some of the key points that can help a band teacher to maintain a high level of motivation in students for a longer time.
12. A Historical View on the Relevance of Music for Society in an Entrepreneurial Approach
Authors: Budoiu Oana Bălan 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
The majority of authors who have studied the phenomenon of cultural entrepreneurship have attempted to demonstrate how market conditions and society in general have the power to shape the performances of artistic products, in terms of economical and community relevance. The entrepreneurial concept is linked to the desire for innovation, for transcending conventional traditional practices and knowledge, by focussing creative interests on the real needs expressed by cultural consumers and audiences of concert halls. This research wishes to provide a synoptic view on the existence of this socio-economic phenomenon throughout music history, and thus to show that professional music has almost always been sensitive towards the needs of society, and has succeeded in remaining useful and productive for long periods of time.

The paper presents the interdisciplinary approach to assessing the acoustic quality of violins through a survey addressed to specialists in the field of music - instrumentalists, teachers, artists. Violins with modified geometric parameters in intermediate stages from a technological point of view were investigated, respectively unfinished violins (in white). The aim of the study was to classify the musical instruments heard according to five acoustic criteria considered relevant for violinists. Criteria such as: bright tone, clarity of sounds, warm/silky sound, amplitude of sounds and equal sound on all 4 strings were also established through a survey of artistic impressions among specialists, in a stage prior to the study presented in this article.
1. A Shakespeare Module’s Pedagogical Process in the Vocational Hight Education: Perspectives, Solutions and New Dillemas
Authors: Pădurean Ioana Petcu 
Published: May 2022

AbstractIf in England William Shakespeare’s dramatic work is perceived on the one hand as a tradition and, on the other hand, as a suitable platform for experimentation, in Romania vocational higher education programs in the field of Theater and Performing Arts provide space for practice on Elizabethan dramaturgy. Whether we understand Will’s texts as a compulsory subject, or whether it challenges both the teacher and the student to discover new valences of interpretation, the Shakespeare module is an important milestone in the young artist’s stage training process. A test subject for the performing arts professor, but also a wide range of characteristics that unfolds in front of the student, the Shakespearean universe is viewed by the artist from the inside in order to be successful on stage. Thus felt and rediscovered, the author transforms into a living material, it is a starting point towards a horizon that is discovered by everyone and is, equally, a return to self and recognition, an inexhaustible effect that classical literature has on many generations in a row.
2. Performance in Sports and Art. The Beginnings
Authors: Leșe Ana-Cristina , Minea Raluca 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
The topic we are referring to has been debated on various occasions, but our approach aims on one hand the importance of physical exercises and their impact on a category of students, namely those in higher art education system, and on the other hand brings to attention some age-related changes, namely the succession of forms corresponding to the functional changes in time of our body. The period of evolution within this context corresponds to the growth stage up to 20 years. The growth and development of the musculoskeletal system in length, width and depth alternate according to a specific rhythm that allows periods of division. Thus, there are periods of growth in human life, mainly in terms of width and periods of growth in height, which alternate once at 3 or 4 years.
Seeveral chronicles and statistics prove that young people’s body with good physical condition has withstood the hardships of life in a much higher ratio than those who are not in fit. We know very well that a harmonious body is a preventative medicine against diseases and a body accustomed to physical exercises gives teenagers an extra dose of protection. According to the American Heart Association, physical inactivity increases the risk of stroke and amplifies other risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as: obesity, high blood pressure, LDL cholesterol (“bad”) and diabetes.
This topic is all the more important as it’s about student artists who face certain problems related to the development of the human body under the conditions imposed by a profession, many of them being forced to adopt certain body positions for a long time either in front of the easel or with the violin in their hand, or on scaffolding, on mural or restoration sites. In fact, we have raised these issues in other articles and also at some symposium communications. We want to contribute to the training of young artists through the recommendations and programs provided in anatomy and sports culture so that this information is understandable and, at the same time, becomes a decision-maker in psycho-physical and, implicitly, in professional development.

Published: May 2022

Abstract
In our time, the theater has greatly expanded in scope to include education, personal development, and sometimes therapy. With its novel stage installations, it has penetrated into the realm of the visual arts and, since the covid-19 pandemic, into the virtual environment. As such, the Actor’s Art has inherently been subject to change. Drama schools no longer seek to train masters but to guide and to facilitate the discovery or the definition of each artist’s unique individuality, creativity, and personality.
