THE BUDGETARY PROCESS – REASON FOR DISSATISFACTION

The behavior of individuals within the organization does not always correspond with what is expected and what is defined by formal rules. The budget may be perceived as a source of oppression and can sometimes lead to the development of attitudes of resistance from employees. The success of the budget process and budget execution process is conditioned by how the leadership of the company, through its managerial policy, manages to contribute to the motivation of individuals. The budget must have the ability to mobilize members of the organization, must be built to be exciting. The purpose of this paper is to identify the causes of behavior problems from individuals in the budget process of the enterprise, and to propose measures to eliminate these causes

Enterprises in Romanian Agriculture – Management, Present and Perspectives

The paper work contains synthetic references relating to agricultural enterprises found in structures of exploitations in Romanian agriculture. Their concerns over these units appear to be lower, their number is not large. The work combines aspects of representing these units to management and their particularities in comparison with units from other branches, with their regarding functionality and the factors who determine their prospects in agriculture in the next years and the conclusions learned from the study undertaken.reform; enterprise; private initiative; empirical and scientific management; risk; cost; competitiveness.

STUDY REGARDING INTEGRATION OF NATURAL DISADVANTAGED AGRICULTURAL AREAS IN ECONOMIC CYCLE

The agriculture potential output is influenced by several factors. Some of them are general, centered on economic and financial leverages; others are more specific, focusing on natural disasters vector results. Yet all of them can generate local microclimate and environmental changes that reflect on economical dimension of agricultural exploitations or areas. Our study is based on analysis, synthesis and data processing from specific areas of Bacau County and aims to provide social rehabilitation and economical integration support decision suggestions.disadvantaged areas, rational exploitation, ecological products, anti-erosion measures, cultivation specific system

The Observance of Human Rights and Freedoms in the Extradition Proceedings at National and International Levels

The fundamental rights and freedoms contained in international documents may be the object of the denial of an extradition request as independent exceptions, even if they are not covered by extradition treaties. The right to life is a fundamental human right whose protection must be achieved in the extradition proceedings. By Law no. 30/1994, Romania ratified the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, adopted by the Council of Europe

International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights

According to the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights adopted by the United Nations, in 1966, the human being who enjoy his civil and political rights, enjoy in fact that “humanitas dignitas” (human dignity), since these rights derive from this. That is why this Covenant stipulated that the States parties are obligated to assure both the recognitions of these rights and their exercise and juridical protection

CURRENT COORDINATES OF ROMANIAN VULNERABLE GROUPS IN THE EUROPEAN CONTEXT

Often, in European Union and Romanian legal documents or in research reports, the term ‘vulnerable group’ is used similarly to disadvantaged, marginalized, excluded or risk group; all these concepts are related to the broader phenomenon of poverty. The common sense for vulnerability is ‘weakness’, ‘lack of defense’, ‘lack of means’. Vulnerable groups are groups without support, which are often in a chronic state of poverty, being unable to take advantage of opportunities or to defend themselves against problems that may arise. This paper presents a brief analysis of the structure and size of vulnerable groups in the European Union and an analysis of their particularities for Romania. The paper also proposes a systematic treatment, but not of all the consequences of the global crisis on Romanian vulnerable groups. The main features of the Roma minority and vulnerable women from Romania, their demographic profile and spatial distribution, the employment policies for these vulnerable groups are highlighted

Convolutional Neural Networks with Intermediate Loss for 3D Super-Resolution of CT and MRI Scans

CT scanners that are commonly-used in hospitals nowadays produce low-resolution images, up to 512 pixels in size. One pixel in the image corresponds to a one millimeter piece of tissue. In order to accurately segment tumors and make treatment plans, doctors need CT scans of higher resolution. The same problem appears in MRI. In this paper, we propose an approach for the single-image super-resolution of 3D CT or MRI scans. Our method is based on deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) composed of 10 convolutional layers and an intermediate upscaling layer that is placed after the first 6 convolutional layers. Our first CNN, which increases the resolution on two axes (width and height), is followed by a second CNN, which increases the resolution on the third axis (depth). Different from other methods, we compute the loss with respect to the ground-truth high-resolution output right after the upscaling layer, in addition to computing the loss after the last convolutional layer. The intermediate loss forces our network to produce a better output, closer to the ground-truth. A widely-used approach to obtain sharp results is to add Gaussian blur using a fixed standard deviation. In order to avoid overfitting to a fixed standard deviation, we apply Gaussian smoothing with various standard deviations, unlike other approaches. We evaluate our method in the context of 2D and 3D super-resolution of CT and MRI scans from two databases, comparing it to relevant related works from the literature and baselines based on various interpolation schemes, using 2x and 4x scaling factors. The empirical results show that our approach attains superior results to all other methods. Moreover, our human annotation study reveals that both doctors and regular annotators chose our method in favor of Lanczos interpolation in 97.55% cases for 2x upscaling factor and in 96.69% cases for 4x upscaling factor.Comment: Accepted in IEEE Acces
