Application of the Scaling Functions to Nonparametric Regression

For estimating regression function we can use many proceedings. In this paper, we have chosen to apply scaling functions to the estimation of regression functions. When one knows many bivariate date with the values of two variables, in the goal to express a correlation between the two variables we use the regression function. The raw estimator of this function must be "smoothed out" in some way to get a final estimator. For this, we use the scaling functions, examples of such function being the Battle-Lemarié family and Daubechies family. After introducing several notions (multiresolution analysis, filter and projection of function onto approximation spaces), these are applied to obtain the estimators. In the last part, we present the algorithm for estimating nonparametric regression function through the scaling functions.nonparametric regression, scaling functions, filter, multiresolution analysis, ap-proximation space, estimator

Professional performance evaluation within the Romanian administrative system

The current economic crisis, manifested in the entire world, highlights the need for sustained involvement of the local and regional authorities in each country, in conceiving and implementing Community policies (which already exist at European level) having an essential role in implementing the economic plans achievement. This view was shared by all European Union Member States, of which Romania is part, since 2007. Therefore, the economic crisis which is reflected in the Romanian society today, requires prompt and sustained intervention by the authorities in the execution of the economic recovery plan, implying the community strategies, due to sharply budgetary expenses cut, which is found in all European countries. In order to achieve this major objective, the Romanian authorities should have qualified and properly motivated personnel through an adequate remuneration, according to the training, skills, responsibilities and especially individual performance obtained at each position, as it happens in most developed countries of the European Union. In this context, this study approaches the issues related to the performance evaluation of the public sector’s employees. Considering the fact that strengthening and developing the human resources segment is a strategic goal of the Romanian administration for the period 2008 - 2013, which will lead to modernizing it and making it more efficient (at both central and local level), the personnel performance evaluation, at the organizational level represents a fundamental activity from the human resources’ management perspective.performance evaluation, performance indicators’ system, human resources management, Romanian administration.

THE HUMAN RESOURCES’ DEVELOPMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF ROMANIAN ADMINISTRATIVE REFORM APPLICATION

In order to align the Romanian public sector to the quality standards of the European sector, in order to increase the efficiency of the public institutions (that appear on the central and local level) in order to increase their capacity to apply the administrative reform, to strengthen and develop their human resources department, there must be put in front the flexible personnel management policies, which imposes the review of the entire labor legislation (including the administrative personell’s payroll field) and the development of a new labor position. From this perspective, this work includes two delicate aspects, extremely actual and important from the managerial point of view for the public institutions, meaning: the practics’ flexibility in the human resources’ management; the payroll – major component of the human resources’ development in the administration.flexibility, payroll, personnel management, reform.

THE PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT REFORM IN THE CONTEXT OF THE GOVERNANCE BEING INTEGRATED WITHIN THE SOCIETY

The current economic crisis, experienced worldwide, proves the necessity of a well done government, by strong implication from the local and regional authorities from each county, in compiling and executing community strategies (that already exist at an European level), having an essential part in executing the economical revival program. In order to achieve this objective, authorities must have qualified and motivated personnel through an adequate compensation, depending on their aptitudes, responsibilities and especially considering their individual performances, the same way it happens in most of the developed countries in the European Union. This study approaches the problems referring to the conception of some flexible norms which rule over the personnel management in the public sector by using decentralization and development of new working places, by improving and revising the entire labor legislation in Romania.governance, human resources' management, flexibility, decentralization, and payroll.

THE STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES-IMPERATIVE REQUIREMENT OF THE PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION REFORM

Together with the global economic crisis, the impact of organizational crises on human capital and its performances has become increasingly obvious. From this perspective, the strategic role of human resources’ development is crucial. This development can help the organizational management to improve their operational abilities, that allow a better management of the existing crises and also preventing future one. Most researchers agree that the strategic development of human resources implies systematical processes, formal ones, to be adapted to the needs at the organizational level.strategic development of human resources, managing the institutional crisis, work climate, organizational stress.

Database Vs Data Warehouse

Data warehouse technology includes a set of concepts and methods that offer the users useful information for decision making. The necessity to build a data warehouse arises from the necessity to improve the quality of information in the organization. The date proceeding from different sources, having a variety of forms - both structured and unstructured, are filtered according to business rules and are integrated in a single large data collection. Using informatics solutions, managers have understood that data stored in operational systems - including databases, are an informational gold mine that must be exploited. Data warehouses have been developed to answer the increasing demands for complex analysis, which could not be properly achieved with operational databases. The present paper emphasizes some of the criteria that information application developers can use in order to choose between a database solution or a data warehouse one.data warehouse, database, database management systems, information systems, data organisation in externe memory, business intelligence

THE AGRICULTURAL COOPERATION ROLE WITHIN THE RELATION BETWEEN PRODUCER AND CONSUMER OF INFORMATION

The collapse of the communist regime in Romania, in December 1989,determined, at a very short time, the disappearance of the co-operative sector, once Law 18(Land Law) was enforced in February 1991, which initiated the land ownership reform. Inthis context, the re-activation or more concretely, the reconfiguration of a new co-operativesector in full process of recognition and reconstitution of the private land ownership seemedimpossible to achieve.co-operative sector, Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), European-type co-operative,knowledge transfer operation

Exporting, Capital Investment and Financial Constraints

Many firms cite financial constraints as some of the most important impediments to their investment and growth. Using a unique data set from the Czech Republic this paper investigates the importance of financing constraints in the context of exporters. It finds that exporters are less financially constrained than non-exporters. However, after carefully correcting for possible endogeneity and selection issues, the evidence points to less constrained firms self-selecting into exporting rather than exporting alleviating firms’ financial constraints. The analysis suggests that easing firms’ credit constraints may play an important role in facilitating exporting and that well-developed financial markets that would decrease firms’ cost of external finance may be needed in order to benefit from selling in foreign markets.exporting, cash flow, financial constraints

Medical Virtual Public Services

The healthcare enterprises are very disconnected. This paper intends to propose a solution that will provide citizens, businesses and medical enterprises with improved access to medical virtual public services. Referred medical services are based on existing national medical Web services and which support medically required services provided by physicians and supplementary health care practitioners, laboratory services and diagnostic procedures, clinics and hospitals’ services. Requirements and specific rules of these medical services are considered, and personalization of user preferences will to be supported. The architecture is based on adaptable process management technologies, allowing for virtual services which are dynamically combined from existing national medical services. In this way, a comprehensive workflow process is set up, allowing for service-level agreements, an audit trail and explanation of the process to the end user. The process engine operates on top of a virtual repository, providing a high-level semantic view of information retrieved from heterogeneous information sources, such as national sources of medical services. The system relies on a security framework to ensure all high-level security requirements are met. System’s architecture is business oriented: it focuses on Service Oriented Architecture - SOA concepts, asynchronously combining Web services, Business Process Management – BPM rules and BPEL standards.Business Process Management, Service Oriented Architecture, Application Integration, Web services, information technologies, virtual repository, database.
