THE LABOUR MARKET AND THE SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEMS IN THE CONTEXT OF ECONOMIC CRISIS

The globalization phenomenon and the creation of an economically and structurally strong Europe could not last forever. Knowing the economic phenomena’ cyclicity, the following question arises: Which will be the starting point of a new global crisis? Identifying the causes and culprits upon which the international committees and economic and political analysts focus on, we briefly deal with them in this article, because it is essential to concentrate on the measures and the crisis impact over social security. The goal of this article is to illustrate the crisis impact over the social security and labour market fields, the measures took in this field in Europe, around the world and in Romania. We bring in a synoptic table of the causes, effects, measures taken and incurring tendencies. The labour market’s issues and the Social Security System’s difficulties can be solved by vigorous measures, of which the authors recommend the ones resulting from the comparative study realized on a group of European countries and from Romania’s economic tendencies. How will the new economy look like, which will the new world leaders be, these do not matter for the small and vulnerable economies. We conclude that intelligence and professional qualification should outrun over the measureless accumulation of wealth and properties, which in our opinion means that a global economic crisis has its purpose and that it was predictable.Social security, labour market, economic crisis, unemployment

This method successfully corrects for local wind vector biases present in the ERAi output globally. Several configurations of the ERA* are tested using complementary scatterometer data [advanced scatterometer (ASCAT)-A/B and oceansat-2 scatterometer (OSCAT)] accumulated over different temporal windows, verified against independent scatterometer data [HY-2A scatterometer (HSCAT)], and evaluated through spectral analysis to assess the geophysical consistency of the new stress equivalent wind fields (U10S). Due to the high quality of the scatterometer U10S, ERA* contains some of the physical processes missing or misrepresented in ERAi. Although the method is highly dependent on sampling, it shows potential, notably in the tropics. Short temporal windows are preferred, to avoid oversmoothing of the U10S fields. Thus, corrections based on increased scatterometer sampling (use of multiple scatterometers) are required to capture the detailed forcing errors. When verified against HSCAT, the ERA* configurations based on multiple scatterometers reduce the vector root-mean-square difference about 10% with respect to that of ERAi. ERA* also shows a significant increase in small-scale true wind variability, observed in the U10S spectral slopes. In particular, the ERA* spectral slopes consistently lay between those of HSCAT and ERAi, but closer to HSCAT, suggesting that ERA* effectively adds spatial scales of about 50 km, substantially smaller than those resolved by global numerical weather prediction (NWP) output over the open ocean (about 150 km).Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft

THE EFFECT OF CAR, SIZE, CKPN, NPF ON FDR BUS WITH TPF AS INTERVENING VARIABLES IN 2016-2021

This study was conducted to know the effect of CAR, Size, CKPN, and NPF on Sharia Banking FDR with TPF as the intervening variable BUS in 2016-2021. This type of research uses quantitative with multiple regression analysis as data analysis sourced from secondary data. The model selected in this study uses panel data in the form of Fixed Effect Model annual data of CAR, Size, CKPN, NPF, TPF, and FDR recorded in BUS for the 2016-2021 period. The research data obtained were analyzed using the Eviews 10 application tool. The results of the research conducted by data processing showed that the TPF variable had a negative and significant effect on FDR. Variables CAR, Size, CKPN, and NPF have no significant effect on FDR. Then the Size variable has a positive and significant effect on TPF, while the CAR, CKPN, and NPF variables have no significant effect on TPF. After performing path analysis, the TPF variable can mediate the effect of Size on FDR. And the TPF variable cannot mediate the effect of CAR, CKPN, and NPF on FDR..   Keywords: CAR, Size, CKPN, NPF, TPF, FD

D2RP research is being discussed under the computation, automation and materialization themes, by reference to customizable digital design means, robotic fabrication setups and informed materialization strategies implemented by the Robotic Building group at Hyperbody, TU Delft

Goal-conflict detection based on temporal satisfiability checking

Goal-oriented requirements engineering approaches propose capturing how a system should behave through the speci ca- tion of high-level goals, from which requirements can then be systematically derived. Goals may however admit subtle situations that make them diverge, i.e., not be satis able as a whole under speci c circumstances feasible within the domain, called boundary conditions . While previous work al- lows one to identify boundary conditions for con icting goals written in LTL, it does so through a pattern-based approach, that supports a limited set of patterns, and only produces pre-determined formulations of boundary conditions. We present a novel automated approach to compute bound- ary conditions for general classes of con icting goals expressed in LTL, using a tableaux-based LTL satis ability procedure. A tableau for an LTL formula is a nite representation of all its satisfying models, which we process to produce boundary conditions that violate the formula, indicating divergence situations. We show that our technique can automatically produce boundary conditions that are more general than those obtainable through existing previous pattern-based approaches, and can also generate boundary conditions for goals that are not captured by these patterns

Developing a Model for Sustainable Conversion of Blockhouse Bunkers in Serbia

Blockhouses represent a type of small-span aboveground bunkers, originally built in England but later also in other parts of the world. These specific forms of military heritage, which were largely built during the WWII in Balkan, are forgotten witnesses of the past. As the old military concepts and doctrines have been abandoned, the strategic interest for the blockhouses has been lost, while the questions about their future arose. While the developed countries are actively engaged in the search for sustainable solutions that consider finding the non-military uses for these military structures, it is still quite a rarity in Serbia. Many blockhouses are located in the areas of outstanding natural values or within the urban zones; so consequently, they do have a potential to be integrated into contemporary urban dynamics. The paper examines reasons and possibilities for the reuse of blockhouse bunkers, taking into account the principles of sustainability and the indicators for adaptability, analysing their spatial, functional transformation through the development of a model for sustainable conversion. In order to check the debated postulates, a design proposal of a blockhouse converted into a single-family house is presented and discussed from the aspect of layout flexibility and development of a modular extension, as a plausible and sustainable scenario

Human Resource Management in the Countries of the Former Yugoslavia

Human Resource Management (HR/HRM) is closely connected to the social and economic environment in which a given organization or company operates. On this basis it may be interesting for foreign potential investors to understand both the differences and similarities in the application of HRM methods in a group of countries which had lived for a long period of time in a federation which had finally disintegrated. Such investors usually come from different environments and backgrounds and have previous experience in the application of specific forms of HRM practice. In this paper the authors try to present the development and changes in the theories and practice of Human Resource Management in most of the countries established on the territory of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Serbia and Slovenia.human resource management; economic environment; practices change; former Yugoslavia.

Plantas silvestres comestibles utilizadas en poblaciones rurales de la Provincia de La Rioja (Argentina).

En este trabajo se indaga sobre el conocimiento popular y el uso de plantas silvestres utilizadas en la alimentación humana en cuatro poblados rurales pedemontanos de La Rioja. Se registraron las especies alimenticias de uso actual, las partes de las plantas utilizadas, las formas de preparación de los alimentos, las formas de conservación de los productos y el lugar y época de recolección para cada una. Se entrevistaron ocho informantes clave, los que mencionaron un total de 38 nombres locales de plantas alimenticias silvestres. En la actualidad, el 20% de las especies mencionadas se han dejado de utilizar, el 53% se utiliza ocasionalmente y sólo el 27% se utiliza frecuentemente. Las partes de las plantas más consumidas son los frutos y hojas, siendo menos frecuente el consumo de tallos y flores. Las formas de preparación más utilizadas son la cocción, la infusión y el consumo fresco. El modo de conservación más frecuente es a través del secado de frutos y ramas, siguiéndole en importancia la conservación de productos en botellas. Muchas de las plantas silvestres alimenticias son recolectadas en las cercanías de las viviendas y en el campo, en general durante el verano. Los pobladores no utilizan el total de plantas alimenticias que conocen, lo cual podría llevar a la pérdida gradual del conocimiento local sobre los recursos disponibles.Fil: Biurrum, Elda.
