IMPACTUL CORTICOTERAPIEI INHALATORII ASUPRA CURBEI DE CREŞTERE LA COPIII CU ASTM BRONŞIC

Impactul corticoterapiei inhalatorii (CSI) asupra curbei de creştere staturo-ponderale pe termen lung la copiii cu astm bronşic rămâne o problemă controversată. Obiectivul studiului a fost de a evalua infl uenţa CSI administrată pe termen lung (2 ani) asupra parametrilor de creştere (talie, greutate, indice de masă corporală – IMC) la copiii cu astm bronşic. Metodă: au fost selectaţi pentru studiu 76 de copii (5-18 ani) cu astm persistent uşor – sever care au primit corticoterapie inhalatorie asociat cu bronhodilatator cu durată lungă de acţiune sau/şi montelukast sodic conform GINA 2006. Au fost urmărită în dinamică relaţia doză CSI – curbă de creştere, iar datele obţinute comparate cu cele ale unui lot martor (75 de cazuri) folosind scorul z. Rezultate: datele obţinute în urma folosirii CSI pe o perioadă de 2 ani la copii astmatici în diferite trepte de severitate indică o încetinire a curbei de creştere statuare mai ales în al doilea an al studiului (p = 0,012), fără a infl uenţa semnifi cativ statistic greutatea sau IMC. Nu s-a găsit o corelaţie între doza de CSI administrată (mică, medie, mare) şi curba taliei, a greutăţii şi valoarea IMC. Concluzii: CSI administrată perioadă lungă de tip ar putea afecta ritmul de creştere statuară la copiii astmatici în orice treaptă de severitate a bolii şi indiferent de doza administrată, fără a afecta semnifi cativ greutatea sau IM

EVOLUTION AND DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES REGARDING SME SECTOR IN ROMANIA AND THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA

The small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are at the top of European strategies and policies, a key factor for growth, employment and economic performance. The economic and financial crisis of 2008 has affected the SME sector in Romania and the Republic of Moldova, whose development was different from that of most European countries. Therefore, it requires a sustained effort to overcome these gaps and realistic development strategies of the SME sector in Romania and Moldova, proposed by the specialized agencies of the two countries.

Entrepreneurship Education through Successful Entrepreneurial Models in Higher Education Institutions

In higher education institutions, entrepreneurship learning based on successful entrepreneurial role models may promote education for sustainable development. Several theoretical perspectives, such as the human capital theory, the entrepreneurial self-efficacy and self-determination theory, argue that entrepreneurship education is positively correlated with entrepreneurial intentions of students, as it provides adequate know-how and skills and motivates them to develop their entrepreneurial careers. In entrepreneurship education programmes, exposure to successful entrepreneurial models could be a significant factor for stimulating students’ confidence in their ability to start a business and for improving their attitudes towards entrepreneurship. This study aims (i) to identify characteristics viewed by students as being specific to a successful entrepreneur, (ii) to establish the influence of exposure to successful entrepreneurial role models (chosen by students) during entrepreneurship education classes on student entrepreneurial intentions, and (iii) to assess how such exposure influences the attitudes of students towards entrepreneurship. For this purpose, the authors ran a pilot experiment with 30 graduate students enrolled in a Business Creation course using a research methodology that combined qualitative techniques with quantitative measures. Content and statistical analyses were utilised to examine differences in student entrepreneurial intentions and attitudes towards entrepreneurship after being exposed to successful entrepreneurial models. Our study provides evidence that entrepreneurship education based on successful entrepreneurial role models may positively influence the entrepreneurial attitudes and intentions of students and could lead to higher orientation of student perception towards social benefits of entrepreneurship (new jobs) compared to financial ones (high income). However, our findings stress that if educators want to improve the efficiency of education focused on developing entrepreneurial skills, graduate programmes should be designed differently for business and non-business students, since studying successful entrepreneurial stories impacts these two groups differently
