GLOBALIZATION & REGIONALIZATION IN INTERNATIONAL TRADE

The concept of globalization refers to the growing interdependence of countries, resulting from the increasing integration of trade, finance, investments, labor markets and ideas in one globalmarketplace. The most important elements of this process are the international trade and the cross-border investment flows. Economic globalization has increased the specialization of workers, while the companies compete in global markets. Even globalization has recently become a common topic in academic discourse, many economists focused, from the 1980s and 1990s, in addition to globalization, on regionalization - the growth of networks of interdependence within multinational regions of the world. The recent decades arecharacterized by the fact that the world trade grew faster than world output, which implies that an increasing share of world GDP crosses international borders. The trend is explained, mostly, by thesubstantially declining of the trade barriers during the same period, as a result of successive trade negotiation rounds under the auspices of the GATT/WTO, unilateral trade liberalization and regional tradeagreements. Even there are global connections between all the countries, the strongest political and economic integration is being created within a few specific regions of the world: Europe, North America and East Asia.globalization, regionalization, international trade, trade agreement, trade liberalization, economic integration, global market

REASONS AND EFFECTS OF THE ROMANIAN LABOUR FORCE MIGRATION IN EUROPEAN UNION COUNTRIES

In the European Union countries and neighboring regions, the expansion will produce a redistribution of the labour force between industries and countries. After the Romania’s adhesion to theEuropean Union, the need for an increased productivity, the lack of capital, the competition on the EU market and the low wages have concurred to the intensification of the migration process of the labour force, especially to the West European countries. As example, from over two millions of Romanians working abroad (almost 10 % from total population), 40% have chosen to work in Italy, 18% in Spain, 5% in Germany. In this context, the questions that appear refer to the following issues: Does a real possibility exist for the emigrants to join the active population of the destination country and being employed according to their competences? How many Romanians citizens continue to stay in a foreign country if their job is not proper with their professional skills? Which countries in European Union apply discriminations on its labour market? Do European Countries usually admit Romanian employees temporarily and expect them to leave in short time if they can’t find a proper job? Which are the socio-economic effects of labour mobility on the Common Market of EU? Which are the forecasts concerning the labour mobility in the next years?In our paper, we try to answer these questions and we also intend to make a comparative analysis concerning - what we consider - some of the most important challenges occurred in Romania’s economy inthe context of the mentioned migration process: the adoption of an economic growth model based on the increase of the employed population, the diminution of the discrepancies between our country labour market and the EU target established through Lisbon Strategy, the creation of a new structure of occupation with support in productivity growth and labour price.Romanian emigrants, labour market, European Union, migration effects

Deception Detection, Task complexity, and Group Member Experience in Computer-Mediated Group Settings

Due to globalization and the increased availability of online collaboration tools, individuals are now likely to work together in settings where computers are their primary mode of communication. However, because communication characteristics are different in these settings, problems can arise, such as deception. Deceptive individuals may be difficult to detect over computer-based channels because many audio and visual cues to deception are filtered and communication tendencies are different. This paper presents two experiments where groups performed a collaborative task in a text-based, computer-mediated setting with and without confederate deceivers. The results show that deceivers were very successful in this setting, that groups performing a low complexity task were better at detecting deception than were groups performing a high complexity task, and that groups with members that had experience with each other had higher task performance but did not have higher deception detection accuracy than did inexperienced groups

Progress in integrated-circuit horn antennas for receiver applications. Part 2: A 90 GHz quasi-integrated horn antenna receiver

A receiver belonging to the family of integrated planar receivers has been developed at 90 GHz. It consists of a planar Schottky-diode placed at the feed of a dipole-probe suspended inside an integrated horn antenna. The measured planar mixer single-sideband conversion loss at 91.2 GHz (LO) with a 200 MHz IF frequency is 8.3dB plus or minus 0.3dB. The low cost of fabrication and simplicity of this design makes it ideal for millimeter and submillimeter-wave receivers

Alternative Strategies for Addressing the Presence and Effects of Pharmaceutical and Personal Care Products in Fresh Water Resources

In recent years, new information has arisen to challenge this assumption. Chemicals from a wide variety of pharmaceutical and personal care products ( PPCPs ), their byproducts and endocrine disrupting compounds ( EDCs ) have received growing attention from the water treatment and wastewater treatment community because of the ability of PPCPs to persist, or only partially degrade, in water and during wastewater treatment. Several federal agencies, including the EnvironmentAl Protection Agency ( EPA ), the Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ), the U.S. Department of Agriculture ( USDA ), the U.S. Geological Survey ( USGS ), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ), have the potential to be involved in various aspects of the management of PPCPs. In addition to these federal agencies, numerous units of state, tribal, and local governments are (or could be) involved in implementing federal, state, and tribal environmental programs that are relevant to the management of PPCPs. Industry stakeholders also play significant roles, both directly and indirectly, in PPCP management. PPCPs are an extremely diverse group of chemicals used in human health care, cosmetic care, veterinary medicine, and agriculture. In 2004, it was estimated that there may be as many as six million PPCP substances commercially available worldwide . . . . PPCPs are also ubiquitous pollutants, entering the environment worldwide due to widely dispersed usage by individuals and in both industry and agriculture. Recent reports in popular media regarding pharmaceuticals in drinking water have contributed to increasing public awareness of and concern about this issue. In 2006, the Center for Water Law & Policy at Texas Tech University (the Center ) was awarded funding by the Environmental Protection Agency to conduct a study related to micropollutants (including PPCPs) in the natural environment. This study was divided into three specific projects. Project 1 focused on the development of a PPCP database containing documents, reports, publications, and other material related to PPCPs. While information in the database was designed for use in Project 3 (discussed below), the information was also intended to be made available to those interested in understanding water law and policy issues, including researchers, decision-makers in the public and private sectors, stakeholders, interest groups, and the general public. The creation of the Micropollutants Clearinghouse ( Clearinghouse ) achieved this latter objective. Project 2 focused on primary research to improve the understanding of the presence and fate of mixtures of micropollutants in the environment. This research, which was based on field studies conducted on discharges from a wastewater treatment facility in West Texas, forms the basis for the case study noted below Project 3 focused on an analysis of alternative strategies for addressing the presence and effects of PPCPs in fresh water resources. It identified and evaluated statutory and regulatory approaches that are (or could be) utilized to prevent PPCPs from entering the aquatic environment in concentrations that would exceed concentrations determined appropriate for protection of human health and the environment. Potential alternative strategies were also identified and evaluated. Project 3 addressed three basic questions: 1) can existing statutory and regulatory authorities be utilized to collect information about and/or effectively manage PPCPs entering the environment?; 2) are there other alternative strategies that should be considered?; 3) what are the relative strengths and weaknesses of the existing authorities and alternative strategies? The results of Project 3, as well as answers to these three questions, are contained herei
