CLASSIFICATION CRITERIA USED AS BASIS FOR AN EFFECTIVE MUNICIPAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

The immediate reality reveals a significant difference in terms of practical use between public and private property management. It can be noticed that the emphasis is placed to a higher extent on the private property management, which is more profit-oriented, compared to the public property management, driven by the public sector’s purpose to achieve the welfare of its citizens. However, during the last years, the interest in assets management has grown also at municipal level. The motivation for applying a strategic municipal property management comes from the necessity to mach the municipal long-term needs for their own use of properties, as well as to use their properties in order to attract investment and promote sustainable socio-economic development of their cities and regions. Referring to the Balkan area, a lack of strategy can be noticed with regard to the real asset management of municipal properties. In order to support the efforts of the municipalities in articulating real asset strategies, a project on “Municipal Property Management in South- Eastern Cities (PROMISE)†is carried on (2009-2012), supported by the ERDF within the South-East Territorial Co-operation Programme. It is expected to contribute to supporting urban environmental sustainability improvement through regeneration programmes, to promoting economic sustainability via the encouragement of innovative investments, to facilitating social sustainability through urban social infrastructure development, as well as to improving social services and social cohesion policies. This paper, derived from the above mentioned project, emphasizes the importance of using the most suitable classification criteria in order to ensure an effective municipal property management. In the beginning a comprehensive international literature review and a structured conceptual clarification are provided, referring to papers like those by Jolicoeur and Barret (2004) and Musil (2006) as having had an important contribution to this topic. Then, specific classification criteria in the case of Romania are pointed out, followed by a discussion on features of assessment extracted from the evaluation practice. The results may contribute to the identification of reliable variables that can be used as a starting point for the strategic management of municipal properties.

The International Migration in the EU. A Descriptive Analysis Focused on Romania

Migration represents one of the main means humans have chosen for improving their standards of living. Even though it is an important phenomenon manifested since ancient times, migration has never been so much in the attention of scholars and policy makers as it is in present times, especially for its implications in different areas such as demography, economy, sociology, politics, etc. As well, migration is a vital component of the contemporary society and in the same time plays a key role in the development of regions, from various perspectives such as economic, social, or cultural.  Taking into consideration the previously outlined framework, the present paper aims at analyzing in a descriptive manner the international migration phenomenon in the European Union (EU) countries between 2006 and 2010, in order to highlight the frame in which Romania is placed from the perspective of the quantitative dimension of international migration

Lower critical solution temperature versus volume phase transition temperature in thermoresponsive drug delivery systems

One of the most subtle problem in the characterization of thermoresponsive polymers is the evaluation of the relationship between the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of the linear polymer and the volume phase transition temperature (VPTT) of the corresponding hydrogel. Here, the LCST and the onset temperature of linear poly(N-isopropy- lacrylamide-co-N-hydroxymethyl acrylamide) has been determined under pseudo-physiological conditions by cloud point (CP) measurements and by microcalorimetric analysis. The LCSTs, as well as the onset temperatures, determined by the CP method, decrease with increasing the concentration of the polymer solution. On the contrary, microcalorimetric analyses give almost the same values for LCSTs and the onset temperatures regardless of polymer concentration. The VPTT of the hydrogel, determined by the blue dextran method, was found to be closely similar to the LCST of the concentrated polymer solution (10%, w/v), determined by the CP method. In fact, the hydrogel could be considered as a concentrated polymer solution whose concentration could be related to the amount of water retained by the hydrogel. Hydrogel microspheres have been also reported to release diclofenac, a drug model system, in a pulsating way at temperatures slightly below and above the VPTT

Некоторые психологические аспекты онкологических больных

Catedra Economie, Management şi Psihopedagogie, USMF Nicolae TestemiţanuThe data of investigated patients revealed that more than half of patients (70%) are diagnosed with “cancer” at the age between 50-70 years. More than half of respondents (63%), confirm that they are not aware of such diagnoses to their close relatives. Most of surveyed patients consider their condition as an injustice, bad luck and / or punishment for some “sins” they have. 32% of patients consider that they are in a situation to defeat the fortune regardless of the given diagnosis. More than half (60%) of patients are not willing to cooperate actively with the doctor for his healing, but rather adopt the role of passive patient. The described situation expose some gaps related to prophylaxis and disease prevention in our medical system.Общий анализ данных об онкологических больных выявил, что больше чем y половины испытуемых (70%) диагноз „рак” был поставлен в возрасте от 50-ти до 70-ти лет. В то же время, имея такой диагноз (63%), испытуемыe заявили, что не знают точно, кто из родственников страдает подобным недугом. Большинство испытуемых считают свое состояние как насправедливость или наказание за определенные грехи. Однако 32% отметили что намерены бороться за свое здоровье. В то же время, больше половины опрошенных (60%) не считает, что активное сотрудничество с врачом поможет их выздоровлению, предпочитая роль пассивного пациента

Consilierea psihologică a bolnavilor oncologici

În consilierea psihologică a pacienţilor oncologici se evidenţiază următoarele aspecte: • prezenţa periodică a psihoterapeutului, care trebuie să activeze mecanismele de apărare ale pacientului; • abordarea bolii ca un accident şi nu ca pe o fatalitate; • manifestarea faţă de pacient a următoarelor calităţi: atenţie, ocrotire, încurajare, optimism şi spirit de demnitate

The time management peculiarities of a professional and personal life

Catedra Economie, Management şi Psihopedagogie USMF „N. Testemiţanu”The management of time is a fundamental issue to the job performance of every person. The primary goal of this thesis is to study the time management peculiarities of a professional and personal life. As a result, we identified that 65% of the interviewed persons have a low time management level. At the same time, the interviewed persons demonstrated better targets identification abilities, than organizational and executive abilities. Gestionarea sau managementul timpului este o opţiune fundamentală a fiecărei persoane ce aspiră pentru succes. Scopul lucrării date a fost cercetarea particularităţilor gestionării timpului de către persoane angajate în cîmpul muncii. Prin urmare, am stabilit că 65% (13 angajaţi) au un nivel general mediu de gestionare a timpului, iar 35% (7 angajaţi) au demonstrat un nivel jos.

Regional Development Disparities and the Provision of Services of General Interest. A Case Study on the Health Care Services Availability in the North-East Region of Romania

This paper proposes an inquiry into the issue of availability of services of general interest, offering as case study the health care services in the North-East region of Romania. The interregional and intraregional (within North-East region) disparities in terms of health care services provision are examined in relation to the overall regional development disparities, confirming that the concern with providing a minimum level of social SGI to all citizens has conducted to health care service disparities lower than those in terms of GDP per inhabitant. The paper also provides relevant evidence on the impact of demography, especially in terms of population density on the availability of health care services
