Balneary Tourism in a Historic and Religious Perspective

People’s concern on getting value to the therapeutic properties of natural health factors to heal or only cure illneses or pains is quite old. Homer is considered to be the first who praised the qualities of bathing in treating different kinds of illneses and Hipocrates (460-370 B.C.), was the initiator of natural therapy. Religion claimed, throughout times, the importance of water for treatment, health and cleanliness. Around thermal and mineral springs or areas with therapeutic mud, in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries were developed health oriented settlements, that, nowadays became modern health spas, which assure the scientific valorification, under medical supervision, of the therapeutic values of natural health factors. Nowadays health tourism is no longer a privilage of wealthy people and has become one of the most complex social phenomena, with important implications in national economy and in international economic relationships.History; Religion; Balneary tourism; Balneary resort; Mineral waters;

THE ROMANIANS ARE THE POOREST OF THE EUROPEAN

Poverty is one of the most serious questions facing the world today. Food, hygiene and education are the main problems of the poorest countries in the world. Volatility in food prices pushed tens of millions of people into poverty and contributed to violence and instability, both extremely dangerous to global security

Human anatomy nomenclature rules for the computer age

Information systems are increasing in importance in biomedical sciences and medical practice. The nomenclature rules of human anatomy were reviewed for adequacy with respect to modern needs. New rules are proposed here to ensure that each Latin term is uniquely associated with an anatomical entity, as short and simple as possible, and machine-interpretable. Observance of these recommendations will also benefit students and translators of the Latin terms into other languages

MILITARY TRAINING OF LINE INFANTRY AND BORDER GUARD REGIMENT OFFICERS IN THE MID-19th CENTURY: A COMPARATIVE CASE STUDY FROM TRANSYLVANIA

This paper argues that in the early 19th century, border guard regiments were generally staffed with less qualified officers than the line regiments were, potentially because service in the former was considered to be less prestigious for a Habsburg officer during this period. This is demonstrated through a comparative case study of officers serving in 1840 in the 51st line infantry regiment and the 17th border guard regiment (or 2nd Romanian border guard regiment). The case study focuses on three quantifiable indicators: education, language abilities, and knowledge of engineering. The data were gathered from the officers’ Conduite-Listen (personal records), which was an evaluation form that recorded a plethora of information about all the regiment’s Oberoffiziere (subaltern officers)

SUBSIDIES AND NON- REIMBURSABLE EUROPEAN FUNDS

Subsidies are non-reimbursable financial resources received by an entity subject to certain conditions, including their destination. From the accounting point of view, it is possible to talk about both subsidies related to assets or investments related to operating income. These forms of non-reimbursable aid are recognized, on a systematic basis, as revenues of the periods corresponding to the expenses that the subsidies will compensate. Entities conducting non-reimbursable funds under External Financing Programs will use the applicable accounting treatment for grants to account for the operations generated by the receipt and use of these fund

Formation of pedestalled, relict lakes on the McMurdo Ice Shelf, Antarctica

ABSTRACTSurface debris covers much of the western portion of the McMurdo Ice Shelf and has a strong influence on the local surface albedo and energy balance. Differential ablation between debris-covered and debris-free areas creates an unusual heterogeneous surface of topographically low, high-ablation, and topographically raised (‘pedestalled’), low-ablation areas. Analysis of Landsat and MODIS satellite imagery from 1999 to 2018, alongside field observations from the 2016/2017 austral summer, shows that pedestalled relict lakes (‘pedestals’) form when an active surface meltwater lake that develops in the summer, freezes-over in winter, resulting in the lake-bottom debris being masked by a high-albedo, superimposed, ice surface. If this ice surface fails to melt during a subsequent melt season, it experiences reduced surface ablation relative to the surrounding debris-covered areas of the ice shelf. We propose that this differential ablation, and resultant hydrostatic and flexural readjustments of the ice shelf, causes the former supraglacial lake surface to become increasingly pedestalled above the lower topography of the surrounding ice shelf. Consequently, meltwater streams cannot flow onto these pedestalled features, and instead divert around them. We suggest that the development of pedestals has a significant influence on the surface-energy balance, hydrology and flexure of the ice shelf.Ia

PERSPECTIVES REGARDING THE QUALITY OF THE INTERNAL AUDIT AND ITS IMPACT ON THE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCES OF THE BANKS IN ROMANIA

The objectives and responsibilities of the internal audit are expressed and concentrated in both international and national regulations. The scope of the internal audit should include the entire system of the bank for identifying and measuring its regulatory capital and assessing the suitability of its resources for the bank's risk exposures and compliance with the minimum set ratios. The internal audit function should independently assess the bank's systems and processes for measuring and monitoring liquidity positions in relation to its risk profile, external environment, and minimum regulatory requirements. At the same time, internal auditing should regularly review the process by which risk and reporting functions interact to produce timely accurate, relevant, reliable, and accurate financial reporting to the management, regulator, and other stakeholders (shareholders, investors). Basel III requires that the bank's compliance function, including compliance monitoring, as well as any regulatory requirements, should be reviewed periodically by the internal audit and set a broad scope. One of the significant requirements is that the scope of the internal audit plan should adequately cover all aspects of regulatory requirements
