STUDY ON THE EVOLUTION OF THE ACTIVITY OF MOLDOVA INNOVATION TECHNOLOGY PARK RESIDENTS

IT in Moldova has become an increasingly visible source of economic growth. In this context, the rapid development of the IT industry has also led to the development of legislation in this field. Thus, the IT sector is stimulated by the state, benefiting from a more advantageous tax regime, with a one-off 7% sales tax. The rebranding of the Moldova Innovation Technology Park has the vision of making Moldova a top destination for tech and innovation services and products. In order to examine the evolution of Moldova Innovation Technology Park residents' activity, we conducted research on entities in this sector, looking at four consecutive financial periods (2018-2021), the first two of which were in a normal environment, while the years 2020-2021 are marked by the pandemic context. In order to investigate the activity of residents Moldova Innovation Technology Park operated with methods and techniques specific to economic and financial analysis, such as: absolute and relative deviations, growth indices, graphs, etc. The results obtained, exceeded expectations, since there are over 15 thousand employees in 960 resident entities, with an average monthly salary per employee of over 1800 euros, and, sales revenue constitutes 6.9 billion MDL, of which about 86% makes up export in eligible sales revenue

DIAGNOSTICS OF THE AUDIT ACTIVITY IN THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA

Effective bushing diagnosis using partial discharge testing

This article demonstrates how the inclusion of partial discharge as a measurement parameter ensures a more reliable diagnosis of insulation condition in transformer bushings. Comparative diagnostic tests showed that the partial discharge measurements best enabled the detection of bushing defects, which the other methods were not able to detect alone. The tests were performed in the lab on oil-impregnated paper (110 kV – with induced defects) and resin-bonded paper (52 kV – with design flaws) bushings. The bushings were subjected to long-term AC tests during which the capacitance, dissipation factor and partial discharge levels were continuously measured. A correlation between the measured parameters and the bushing condition was performed to reach a best-practice conclusion

Values of the body mass index of adolescents from Romania reported to the number for hours of physical education practiced

Purpose: The objective of this research is to show the values of the body mass index (BMI) of adolescents in Romania, Brasov county, reported to the number hours of physical education practiced. Material: The experiment was conducted between October 2016 - January 2017 in four high schools in Brasov county: Andrei Şaguna High School, Andrei Mureşanu High School, Unirea High School and Sports High School. This research was conducted on 470 pupils, of whom 224 are boys and 246 are girls, aged between 14 and 18. All the subjects (n=470) had their BMI calculated, depending on gender/grade/age and high school. Results: The results of the ANOVA One-Way analysis have shown a significant statistical difference between the four high schools in terms of BMI average level (F=36.493; p<0.001), in both boys and girls (F=33.100; p<0.001). Furthermore, also in terms of age, there are significant statistical differences between boys (F=6.085; p<0.001) and girls (F=3.920; p=0.004). The results of the Tukey test presented significant differences between the four high schools, as far as subjects’ gender is concerned as well. Conclusions: The study has shown that the values of the BMI are higher in pupils from Andrei Şaguna, Andrei Mureşanu, Unirea high schools and lower in pupils from the Sports High School, both in boys and in girls

Motivational Climate and Physical Activity: A Multigroup Analysis in Romanian and Spanish University Students

Background: Motivational climate in sport is a psychosocial construct which is related with several factors, such as healthy habits and well-being, and is influenced by teachers, trainers, and parents. The aim of this study was to assess the relationships between motivational climate, family functionality, and physical activity within a population of students from Spain and Romania. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of university students specialization: physical education (n = 605; 20.71 +/- 2.42 years old), using the perceived motivational climate in sport questionnaire-2 (PMCSQ-2), the physical activity questionnaire for adolescents (PAQ-A), and the family functionality scale (APGAR) as the main instruments. IBM SPSS Amos was used for data analysis in the structural equation model that was developed. Results: We observed positive relationships between task-oriented climate, family functionality, and the level of physical activity, showing higher regression weights for Spanish university students. Ego-oriented climate was negatively related to family functionality in Spanish university students, while this association was positive in Romanian students. Moreover, the relationship between physical activity and functional family was stronger in respondents from Spain. Conclusions: It can be pointed out that a better family functionality can promote higher levels of physical activity and self-determined motivations in sports shown by task-oriented motivational climates. Thus, it is essential to take into account the influence of family in the promotion of healthy lifestyles

In-season quantification and relationship of external and internal intensity, sleep quality, and psychological or physical stressors of semi-professional soccer players

: The purpose of this study was two-fold: (a) to describe and analyse the relationship of the in-season variations of external and internal intensity metrics as well as well-being measures across different periods of a semi-professional soccer season (early-, mid- and end-season); and (b) to describe training monotony (TM) and training strain (TS) for 20 weeks in a semi-professional soccer season. Eighteen semi-professional players (age: 29 ± 4.1) from the Asian First League team participated in this study. The players were monitored for 20 consecutive weeks during in-season for external training intensity, internal training intensity and well-being parameters. The in-season was organized into three periods: early-season (weeks 1–7); mid-season (weeks 8–13); and end-season (weeks 14–20). Total distance (TD), high-speed running distance (HSRD), sprint distance, rate of perceived exertion (RPE), session-RPE (s-RPE), TM, TS, heart rate average and maximum, as well as sleep quality, stress and muscle soreness were collected. Results revealed that TD, HSRD and sprint distance (total values) were meaningfully greater during end-season than in the early-season. RPE showed a significantly highest value during the end-season (4.27 AU) than in early- (3.68 AU) and mid-season (3.65 AU), p < 0.01. TS showed significant differences between early-season with mid-season (p = 0.011) and end-season (p < 0.01), and the highest value occurred in week 17 during end-season (6656.51 AU), while the lowest value occurred in week 4 during early-season (797.17 AU). The average TD periods showed a moderate to large correlation with RPE, sleep and s-RPE at early-, mid- and end-season. Increasing the training intensity without considering the well-being of the players affects the performance of the team. Examining processes of the relationship between training intensity and other psychological indicators among players will probably be effective in training planning. Sports coaches and fitness professionals should be wary of changes in TM and TS that affect players performance. Therefore, to better control the training, more consideration should be given by the coaches.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Comparison of the effect of different resistance training frequencies on phase angle and handgrip strength in obese women: A randomized controlled trial

Phase angle (PA) is a strong predictor of sarcopenia, fragility, and risk of mortality in obese people, while an optimal muscular function and handgrip strength (HS) are required to perform different daily activities. Although there is a general agreement that resistance training improves health status in obese people, the optimal weekly training frequency forPA and physical performance parameters is not clear.This study aimed to compare the effects of different weekly resistance training frequencies performed over a 24week exercise program on PA and HSin obese people. Forty-two women (56.2 \ub1 9.1 years, body mass index (BMI) 37.1 \ub1 4.9 kg/m2) were randomly allocatedto one of two groups: a group with a highweekly training frequency of three times a week (HIGH, n= 21) and a group that performed only one weekly session (LOW, n= 21). The groups trained with an identical exercise intensity and volume per session for 6 months. Before and after the intervention period, the participants were assessed for anthropometric measures, bioimpedance analysis, and HS. There was a significant group 7 time interaction (p&lt;0.05) for waist circumference, bioimpedance reactance divided by body height (Xc/H), PA, and HS measures. In addition, only the HIGH group increased Xc/H, PA, and HS after the intervention period (p&lt;0.05), even after adjusting for weight loss and menopausal status. Physical exercise performed three times a week promotes better adaptations in PA and HSwhen compared with the same program performed once a week in obese women

Artificial Intelligence and Human Resources Management: A Bibliometric Analysis

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly present in organizations. In the specific case of Human Resource Management (HRM), AI has become increasingly relevant in recent years. This article aims to perform a bibliometric analysis of the scientific literature that addresses in a connected way the application and impact of AI in the field of HRM. The scientific databases consulted were Web of Science and Scopus, yielding an initial number of 156 articles, of which 73 were selected for subsequent analysis. The information was processed using the Bibliometrix tool, which provided information on annual production, analysis of journals, authors, documents, keywords, etc. The results obtained show that AI applied to HRM is a developing field of study with constant growth and a positive future vision, although it should also be noted that it has a very specific character as a result of the fact that most of the research is focused on the application of AI in recruitment and selection actions, leaving aside other sub-areas with a great potential for application

Aspects of Accounting Cost for Development of Customized Software Products

In today's context, marked by digitization and the development of information technology, one of the topics that needs to be addressed is the "costs of software development". This study investigates the evolution of scientific production related to the research topic based on descriptive and bibliometric analysis of selected articles on Web of Science and EBSCO, thus continuing existing research in the field. The importance of this theme is due to the increasing interest of entities to use customized software products that help them to achieve the desired results. The scientific approach is based on information from national and international literature and practice and various electronic sources. It has been shown that the development costs of custom software depend largely on the number of technical resources, the number and complexity of software product features and design patterns. Therefore, accurate estimation is impossible without prior analysis of the software design, business objectives and cost factors

Effect of Physical Guidance on Learning a Tracking Task in Children with Cerebral Palsy

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of physical guidance (PG) frequency on learning a tracking task in children with hemiplegic spastic cerebral palsy (CP). For this purpose, 25 children, aged 7–15 years with CP affecting the left side of the body, who were classified in levels II–III of Manual Abilities Classification System (MACS) and levels III–IV of Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), were recruited from 10 clinical centers. A pre-test including two blocks of 12 trials of the tracking task without any PG was performed by all participants, after that they were assigned into five homogenous groups (with 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, and 0% of PG) through blocked randomization according to their age. All participants involved in an intervention consisted of eight sessions (four blocks of 12 trials in each session) practicing a tracking task. The 0% PG group received no PG, the 25% PG group received PG for three trials, the 50% PG group received PG for six trials, the 75% PG group received PG for nine trials, and the 100% PG group received PG for all twelve trials. PG consisted of placing the experimenter’s hand around the child’s less-involved hand guiding to stay on the track and complete the task. Learning was inferred by acquisition and delayed retention tests. The results showed that the higher frequency of PG led to more accurate performance during practice phase. However, the group that received 75% PG had significantly better performance compared to the other groups in the retention phase. It is concluded that optimum level of PG, about 75% of trials, can be helpful for learning a tracking task in children with spastic hemiplegic CP, supporting the challenge point framework
