SOCIO-ECONOMIC DIMENSIONS IN LOCATIONS BY CLUSTERS IDENTIFIED FOR REGISTERED UNEMPLOYED PERSONS AT LAU2 /NUTS 5 LEVEL IN 2013 AND 2010

Identifying locations that are part of the LAU2 two types of clusters HH and LL which indicates similarities in the level of unemployment registered, with the same tendency level indicator in neighbourhood values is achieved by spatial statistical analysis method Local Indicators of Spatial Association LISA (Anselin 1995, 1996) and calculated in Geoda Software. Each location LAU2’s type (national, HH or LL) is profiled as calculated in SPSS by the statistical mean of characteristics relevant indicators to the labour market: The number of registered unemployed, number of employees, average population density / km2, average number of people entering the LAU2 following the change of domicile by reference environment and national levels in 2010 and 2013 in Romania. Data source is provided by National Institute of Statistic INS – TEMPO online database, socio-economic indicators detailed level LAU2 / NUTS 5, with a selection for 2010 and 2013. These research results have been achieved in the Project NUCLEU PN - 420 118: Spatial distribution of market indicators cohesion policy, made in 2014 and in the project DYNAHU

The regions development characterisation by diversity/variety of the firms - study case for Romania

In this paper we try to find empirical evidence regarding the region diversity by firm characteristics, using spatial data from Tempo (INS Romania database) at NUTS 1, 2 and 3 region level for the period 1997-2008. Using instruments of statistical analysis of spatial data (Anselin, Varga) we try to sketch the spatial pattern of firm agglomerations and values of main firm's characteristics (size class according to employee's number and economic activity by NACE Rev.1 sections). Starting point is represented by the discussion made by Saviotti(*) regarding the efficiency vs diversity/variety in economic development respectively development versus growth. The pattern variation of the regions "profile" by diversity/variety of the firms could offer an image for the structural transformation of economic development tendencies of it in the last decade.

Correlations between Expenditure and Employees in R&D Activity by Performance Sectors from Romania

In the context of increased competition in the recent years, the innovation has become a key factor in economic development through better use of opportunities, capturing new markets and creating high quality jobs. A crucial element for achieving innovation is the R & D, due to the stock of knowledge created at the human, cultural and societal level and its use in designing new applications. In order to manage the funds better in R & D, stimulate competitiveness and attract new funds into R & D, given the target of Europe 2020 Agenda, the paper analyzes the correlation between expenditure and employees in R & D by performance sectors from Romania, and presents a mathematical model which might explain the dynamic of the structure of employees in business sector from R&D. It also considers the impact of the results on the capacity for innovation, economic development and future directions of action to increase investment in R & D, efficient use of intellectual capital and economic specialization

ORAL HEALTH OF YOUNG INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES, AN INDICATOR FOR THE QUALITY OF LIFE

Aim of the study Disability does not annul the right of an individual to receive qualitative health care, which includes oral and dental care; instead, it should actually increase the attentiveness of caregivers and medical providers regarding oral hygiene and treatment measures, considering the high risks of this category of population. Especially in the case of children and adolescents, population with a high prevalence of different types of disabilities, oral and dental care is often disregarded. This study aims to review current information in literature referring to disabled children and adolescents and the management of oral and dental care in the context of their quality of life. Material and methods A literature review was performed, after evaluating recent articles and studies, using the search terms: children, adolescents, disability, dental care. Results Inclusion of disabled individuals and their integration in society is more and more present, leading to concern regarding healthcare needs in general, and oral and dental care needs in particular. Since children and adolescents with disabilities present a greater risk for dental caries and periodontal pathology, efforts are made to prevent and properly manage these conditions. Conclusions Special needs dentistry benefits from the incredible evolution of social perception on disability, as well as technological and medical development available. Nevertheless, in our country, oral healthcare and dental prevention programs aimed at children and adolescents with disability are scarce, underlying an urgent need to develop and implement national strategies and plans to fulfil the worldwide current objective of a caries-free population

IMPACT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON ORAL HEALTH CARE IN CHILDREN WITH LEUKEMIA – A REVIEW

Aim of the study This paper aims to review existent literature regarding the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on oral health care in children with leukaemia. Material and methods An evaluation of the literature was carried out, after searching available databases for the following terms: COVID-19, oral care, paediatric oncology patients. Results The COVID-19 pandemic seems to have strongly interfered with dental care management of paediatric patients in terms of altering or disrupting treatments, restricting procedures and techniques, and an overall decrease in paediatric dental procedures worldwide. Literature is scarce regarding oral healthcare of paediatric oncology patients not only but especially during this period. Conclusions: Further studies are required to evaluate the amplitude of factors which impacted oral health in children with leukaemia
