ARRANGEMENTS IN FAVOR OF INCREASING THE ENTREPRENEURIAL CAPACITIES IN THE CENTRAL REGION

Local entrepreneurial potential remains an untapped resource in the economy of Romania,firstly because of the deficient access to information for the majority of the population, and secondly thefear of daring action and taking some risks. Therefore the European Union, through its structuralinstruments, wishes to contribute to the development and promotion of entrepreneurial potential in allMember States, hence the suggestive slogan of the fund: "Invest into people."One of the positive effects of economic crisis that has affected and continues to affect a great deal of the EUMember States' economies is that some have been "cleansed" of inefficient, nonproductive companies,because they could not survive this period, alternatively strengthening the companies that focus on laborproductivity growth, quality products and services, including maintaining a relationship based on trust withtheir primary customers. Thus, after this 'cleaning', due to the needs of today, a number of uncoveredactivity sectors remained and new ones have emerged.entrepreneurial potential, sustainable development, uncovered activity sectors.

CCU technologies as a tool to achieve Scope and ESG goals

The work examines current methods for the development and study of environmental, social, and governance aspects (ESG factors) in connection with international and governmental measures for sustainable development. It covers the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement, which incentivize the consideration of ESG factors, as well as the impact of ESG on the industry and investors, particularly in the oil and gas sector. The authors delve into CO2 utilization technologies (CCS, CCUS, CCU) and the challenges of their implementation in various sectors. The role of oil and gas companies in sustainable development through the implementation of CCU technologies is analyzed; methods for capturing, transporting, and utilizing CO2 are discussed, along with technologies for producing chemicals from CO2 and their efficiency. The influence of CCU technologies on Scope 1, 2, 3 emissions, defining greenhouse gas emissions, is also examined. The challenges of transitioning to sustainable development and the importance of implementing CCU projects to enhance the ESG-rating of companies are highlighted. Sound implementation of CCU projects can determine successful industrial development, especially in the oil and gas sector, by reducing carbon dioxide emissions and creating competitive products

Yelling Fire and Hacking: Why the First Amendment Does Not Permit Distributing DVD Decryption Technology?

One of the consequences of the black-hole "no-hair" theorem in general relativity (GR) is that gravitational radiation (quasi-normal modes) from a perturbed Kerr black hole is uniquely determined by its mass and spin. Thus, the spectrum of quasi-normal mode frequencies have to be all consistent with the same value of the mass and spin. Similarly, the gravitational radiation from a coalescing binary black hole system is uniquely determined by a small number of parameters (masses and spins of the black holes and orbital parameters). Thus, consistency between different spherical harmonic modes of the radiation is a powerful test that the observed system is a binary black hole predicted by GR. We formulate such a test, develop a Bayesian implementation, demonstrate its performance on simulated data and investigate the possibility of performing such a test using previous and upcoming gravitational wave observations

The Global Competitiveness Of The Nation: A Conceptual Discussion

The recurrent use of the concept of international competitiveness in order to explain differences in performances between firms and between countries induces to wonder about the content at which it refers. The plurality of the involved economic levels is certainly not irrelevant to the vagueness in which the concept is rooted. The subject of this article consists in contributing to break up the vagueness surrounding the concept by showing its richness within the framework of a presentation of the foundations of the nation’s global competitiveness in terms of factors and results

Typology and inequality between island clusters and development areas in Maluku Province

This study aims to analyze patterns of economic growth and island cluster inequality in Maluku Province during the period 2010-2016. The data in this study are secondary data using quantitative descriptive methods and analytical typology analysis tools and theil index. The results showed that the VIII-IX island cluster which was classified as advanced and fast growing but had a very high inequality compared to other island cluster groups was Tual City, Southeast Maluku Regency and Aru Islands Regency. The division of the Maluku region in the Klassen typology is based on the center of growth with the hinterland area. Southern Maluku as a development area is classified as developed and fast-growing where Tual City is a center of growth but has a very high inequality compared to Maluku in the northern region

Reverse Engineering Under the Semiconductor Chip Protection Act: An Argument in Favor of a Value-Added Approach

The purpose of this note is to question whether the SCPA reverse engineering exception adequately protects the rights of chip owners while allowing competitors to develop compatible products. This note concludes that the SCPA reverse engineering exception falls short of providing meaningful protection. The note also concludes that a value-added approach to the reverse engineering exception is superior to the existing approach (which is too closely allied with copyright law and fosters lengthy and expensive litigation). Part III is a discussion of the practice of reverse engineering in general and under the SCPA. Part IV, using Atari v. Nintendo as a factual basis, analyzes reverse engineering in the compatible computer products industry. Subsection A of Part IV reviews the facts of Atari v. Nintendo, and Subsection B analyzes the decision which was argued and decided under copyright law. Subsection C of Part IV analyzes the Atari v. Nintendo fact situation under the SCPA reverse engineering exception. Part V reviews a proposed alternative to the existing SCPA and applies the alternative to the Atari v. Nintendo fact situation
