Useage of Budgetary and Accounting Data for Financial Planning in Time of Crisis: The Case Study of the Czech Republic’s Ministry of Defence
Authors: Nečas Kamil , Boulaouad Jana 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
The financial crisis, pandemic, and security crisis are moments that have accompanied Europe and the world in recent years. For each of them, the implications for defence budgets are evident. In the light of the experience of recent years, it is necessary for the government to be prepared and able to predict and appropriately decide which public funds can be temporarily given up in favor of a specific situation, and what effect this decision will have. However, ensuring the reallocation of these funds within public budgets further increases the pressure on their proper management, taking into account economic rationality. Therefore, the paper presents the perspective on the efficiency of planning and budgeting in the selected example of the Ministry of Defence of the Czech Republic (MoD CR) expenditure item in the period of time 2007–2022. The analysis of these data reveals significant shortcomings, despite the real disposal of economic and managerial tools that should purposely prevent them.
Collaborative Teaching – A Bridge Building Towards Students’ Social and Academic Benefits
Authors: Duralia Daniela 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
This article is the result of an analysis based on a 14-year observation of the academic and social evolution of students in different educational institutions, contexts and levels of English and French language study in both Canada and Romania. Collaboration has proven to be an effective concept necessary to be introduced in the curriculum. The focus of this project will be on some groups of students studying English and French within different science faculties within a university in Romania. Learning crises are identified as students feel reluctant to both attend and participate in these classes. Moreover, the low number of classes in the curriculum discourages students even more. There is also an overall lack of motivation resulting in the instructor’s conclusion that a linguistic context is badly needed both inside and outside of the class. Along with their progress during their language practice, students’ motivation will be enhanced if students are involved in extra-curricular activities. Coupled with a few innovative learning strategies, the craft of teaching and social contexts presented by some native speaker guests expert on topics appealing to the students could promote greater interest in the study of these two languages.

Published: July 2022

Abstract
In an ageing society, intergenerational management is becoming increasingly important for organizations. The strategies used by managers in managing the work of the different generational groups working at a particular time in an organization must focus on reducing the differences between them while maintaining their diversity. Choosing the most effective strategies starts with knowing and understanding the characteristics of each generation; implementing them can be done both by exercising appropriate leadership styles and by incorporating them into organizational policies and practices. In this way, a climate of intergenerational cooperation can be built which can only support the achievement of organizational objectives.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of the pandemic on the degree of capitalization of the elements of tangible and intangible cultural heritage within the capital city of Romania. The results of this study reflect the efforts of the representatives of cultural institutions to respond to the challenge of keeping in touch with different categories of audience. At the same time, solutions adapted to restrictions on social distancing have been identified, in order to facilitate the capitalization of the elements of cultural heritage by organizing temporary exhibitions and cultural events in the open air or online. It is also noticeable the organization of cultural events through the collaboration of public institutions in order to facilitate the access of the public to culture and increase the degree of capitalization of the cultural heritage.
Of Battle and Business: Military Language in the Corporate Environment
Authors: Oneţ Alina-Elena , Ciocoi-Pop Ana-Blanca 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
As early as the second half of the 20th century, theoreticians and commentators in the field of business and corporate culture have started to increasingly make use of military and war metaphors when describing or analyzing business-related matters. This ongoing tendency can be explained by the fact that both military and business jargons have had similar historical trajectories and focus on similar goals and objectives. Military philosophy can furthermore offer valuable lessons and advice to any aspiring manager. To be aware of the symbiosis between military jargon and the language of business is to have a clearer overview of the impact of business practices and eventually to gain the upper hand in a domain where battle and the survival of the fittest are at the basis of all activities and endeavors. The aim of the present paper is to trace the similar trajectories in the evolution of military and business jargon and to analyze, by resorting to practical examples, the manifold similarities between the language of war and the one of business.
The Psychological Impact of the Public Interest Message on a Healthy Lifestyle
Authors: Paşca Maria Dorina 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Media communication is one of the channels through which the message, in our case, of public interest, reaches the receiver and is perceived as such. In this context, the transmitted information is addressed to a particular segment of the population and contains a topic addressed in various situations, but it will always take into account psychologically the target group to which it is addressed. Thus, in the public interest message, which has as its subject the healthy lifestyle present within the television networks, the results show that the impact of such an educational sequence is aware of and accountable to the population to whom it is addressed, succeeding in a certain pedagogical time Change behavior, attitude, and even behavior in our case to reconsider our healthy lifestyle, taking into account its age peculiarities. Also, the triad: family - school - community manages to get involved in a concrete way when ignoring the importance of a healthy lifestyle can affect even the physio - psycho - pedo - social component of the individual that corresponds to the pattern of an evolutionary sequence of the human species In a certain given situation and not only.

Rural Tourism Opportunity Spectrum: Linking People and Landscape for Spatial Planning
Authors: Kulczyk Sylwia , Woźniak Edyta 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
The aim of the study was to develop a low-cost method for tourism opportunity spectrum evaluation in rural landscapes. The method uses the geographic information system (GIS) for spatial analysis of the problem. Open source materials are used in the evaluation. Three principal indices derived from spatial data are evaluated: attraction index, view index, and access index. These form the basis for tourism suitability and opportunity spectrum evaluation. The analysis is realized for two types of tourists: those using cars, and hikers. The method permits the current state of tourism to be identified, and points out possible ways for further development as well as identifying valuable but overexploited zones which should be conserved. The obtained results can improve the sustainable management of landscapes and enhance the profits of rural areas.

Published: July 2022

Abstract
In order to study the influence of the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as a source of carbon on the microstructure of in-situ synthesized TiC in Cu melts, CNTs and Ti powders were introduced into melted Cu to prepare TiC-reinforced Cu matrix composites. The influence of Ti/C ratio and Si on the microstructures and properties of the composites were also examined. It is found that CNTs can be effectively wetted through the Ti-C reaction and successfully introduced into Cu melt to synthesize TiC. In examining the changes in Ti/C ratio, it was found that an increase in the Ti content may result in the decrease of TiC agglomeration and improvement of TiC dispersion, while simultaneously causing an increase in the TiC particle size. Besides, while the addition of Si into Ti-CNTs mixture can also improve the distribution of TiC, the effect is weak compared with that of increasing the content of Ti. It was also found that the highest hardness (238.8 HV) is achieved by the Cu-Ti-C composite with the highest Ti/C ratio, while the electrical conductivities of all the prepared composites are relatively low, which should be due to the insufficient reaction between Ti and CNTs.

Published: July 2022

Abstract
As advanced technologies are becoming a natural part of the industrial environment, the influence of these technologies on organizational practices is becoming more expanding. In this paper, an attempt was made to understand the conjunction of Lean Six Sigma and Industry 4.0. The study was conducted in the Czech Republic and qualitative data was gathered from 10 companies. The information on the benefits, weaknesses and challenges of the conjunction was summarized. For the research purposes literature review and qualitative analysis were performed. It was found out that, although the conjunction is connected with challenges, the perspectives are beneficial for industrial companies. The data generated also allowed to introduce the readiness assessment model for the implementation of the conjunction based on 4 categories: technological, managerial, financial and human. This information could be used for theoretical and practical purposes for the creation of a successful Lean Six Sigma pattern in Industry 4.0.
Cognitive Technologies – Are We in Danger of Humanizing Machines and Dehumanizing Humans?
Authors: Marszałek-Kotzur Izabela 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
The purpose of this article is to introduce some of the problems arising from the rapid development and raising the status of machines and the increasing disregard for human rights in the context of the use of cognitive technologies. Cognitive technologies are highly acclaimed and are being introduced into almost all aspects of life, especially in business. The article asks the question of whether the use of these technologies leads to a gradual humanization of machines while dehumanizing humans. The article is purely theoretical and based on a literature study of selected bibliographic items. On the basis of the analyzed texts an attempt was made to introduce the concept of artificial intelligence, cognitive technologies and algorithms. It also attempts to diagnose the state of work on the regulation of the legal situation related to the development of artificial intelligence and cognitive technologies, as well as the status of robots. The philosophical concept of dehumanization and its selected examples are also outlined. The discussion leads to the conclusion that the pace of development of cognitive technologies, overtaking the human ability to comprehend them, poses a threat of machines getting out of human control.
Ethical and Ecological Dilemmas of Environmental Protection
Authors: Zozuľak Ján , Zozuľaková Viera 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
The article analyses the problems (dilemmas) in approach to the environmental protection and management. EU has declared the plan for the Great Reset of global economy and environmental politics. The idea is not new, but the approach is expected to be completely different. While the EU leaders set the strategy of centralisation, there are strong claims for opposite way – decentralisation. The second dilemma we analyse in our article is the problem of European Commission massive support of green investments (including using of renewable sources of energy and focus of environmental protection), especially after lockdowns connected with covid pandemic which meets with the strong negative position of those economical circles which see such types of initiatives as green shooting to the economy. Terra Carta as an integral part of Sustainable Markets Initiative was launched in 2020. The third dilemma we pay our attention is connected with the efficiency of new environmental taxes. The article focuses also on the good practice as can be seen in environmental protection management efforts and green solutions for using and saving energy resources. As an examples we assess the projects supporting use of renewable energy in Africa (e.g. Lights for Africa), Cradle to Cradle Program (C2C) and we go back to the Come2CoM. The whole is analysed in the context of corporate social responsibility.
Stator Winding Fault Detection of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors Based on the Short-Time Fourier Transform
Authors: Pietrzak Przemysław , Wolkiewicz Marcin 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
In modern drive systems, the high-efficient permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) have become one of the most substantial components. Nevertheless, such machines are exposed to various types of faults. Hence, on-line condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of PMSMs have become necessary. One of the most common PMSM faults is the stator winding fault. Due to the destructive character of this failure, it is necessary to use fault diagnostic methods that allow fault detection at its early stage. The article presents the results of experimental studies obtained from fast Fourier transform (FFT) and short-time Fourier transform (STFT) analyses of the stator phase current, stator phase current envelope and stator phase current space vector module. The superiority of the proposed method over the classical approach based on the stator current analysis using FFT is highlighted. The proposed solution is experimentally verified under various motor operating conditions. The application of STFT analysis discussed so far in the literature has been limited to the fault diagnosis of induction motors and the narrow range of the analysed motor operating conditions. Moreover, there are no works in the field of motor diagnostics dealing with STFT analysis for stator windings based on the stator current envelope and the stator current space vector module.
Young People and Covid-19 Pandemic in Our Country
Authors: Zorcec Tatjana , Pop-Jordanova Nada 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
The current COVID-19 pandemic has raised significant mental health consequences across the world. Even though healthcare workers provide psychological services, the mental health of the overall population often is cause for concern. Psychosocial stressors of the population play a critical role in impacting both the spread of the disease and the occurrence of emotional distress and psychological disorder, during and after an infectious disease outbreak.
The inability to plan, to anticipate future events, and to exert control, at least partially, over external variables inevitably generate stress and tension. Subsequently, this condition can generate more or less discomfort depending on the subjective evaluation of the individual, an evaluation which is influenced by the individual’s stable personality traits. In fact, subjective experiences are never unique: stimuli endowed with the same stressful power do not necessarily cause these reactions in different individuals, while stressful conditions of varying degrees can induce the same response in different people.
The aim of this research was to evaluate some aspects of mental health using answers related to this pandemic of a group young people, selected by chance.
Results showed important changes in quality of life, insecurity, changes in mood and behaviour as well as not optimistic view for the future life.
Discussion confirmed similar finding about young people opinions from other counties.
Additionally, some mediating measures are proposed.

Authors: Nikolovski Andrej , Ulusoy Cemal 
Published: July 2022

Abstract

Aim: To determine and define the advantages of the laparoscopic appendectomy in the treatment of complicated appendicitis by comparing it with the open appendectomy.

Material and Methods: In this prospective interventional clinical study we compared the intraoperative data and the postoperative outcome of 77 patients presented with complicated appendicitis, operated with open and laparoscopic appendectomy within a period of 20 months. One surgeon performed all of the laparoscopic procedures and two other senior surgeons performed the open procedures.

Results: Operative time was shorter in the laparoscopic group (p = 0.033). Conversion rate was 2.3%. Overall postoperative morbidity was 25.97%. There was one operative revision due to postoperative small bowel obstruction in the laparoscopic group. Appendicular stump leakage occurred in one patient in the open group. One intra-abdominal abscess occurred in the laparoscopic group (p = 0.38). Wound infection occurred only in the open group (p = 0.018). Length of stay was shorter in the laparoscopic group (p = 0.0052). One patient from the laparoscopic group was readmitted.

Conclusions: Laparoscopy is a reliable method in the treatment of complicated appendicitis. It offers a shorter operative time, low conversion rate, an acceptable rate of major postoperative complications and a shorter length of stay.

Abstract

Objectives: Olanzapine is an atypical antipsychotic that is approved across Europe, the USA, and in many other countries for oral treatment of schizophrenia and acute manic episodes in patients with bipolar disorder as well as for maintenance therapy to prevent recurrence in responders. The objective of the present study was to compare the pharmacokinetics of two 10 mg tablet formulations of Olanzapine following a single oral dose in healthy volunteers under fasting conditions, as per the European Medicine Agency (EMA) guidelines to grant marketing authorization.

Methods: This study was a randomized, open-label, two-treatment, two-period, two-sequences, single-dose, cross-over design with a washout period of 14 days. Both the test and the reference products were administered as 10 mg tablets with 240 mL of water after an overnight fast in each study period. A total of twenty blood samples were collected before dosing and within 144 hours after drug administration. Adverse events were monitored, recorded, and evaluated by investigators throughout the study.

Results: Of the 24 healthy adult male subjects enrolled, all of them completed both study periods. The geometric mean ratio 90% confidence intervals (CI) for fasting Cmax, AUC0-t, and AUC0-infinity were 94.83-113.71%, 95.04-105.69% and 95.94-107.00%, respectively. The 90% CI for the ratios of the three primary pharmacokinetic parameters (using log-transformed data) were within the range of 80-125%, meeting the regulatory criteria for bioequivalence.

Conclusions: The generic Olanzapine was bioequivalent to the reference formulation. It was well tolerated and provides an acceptable alternative to the reference drug.
