THE MANAGEMENT OF OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY IN ROMANIA

The management of occupational health and safety constitutes the missing link as concerns the elaboration and implementation of integrated management systems i.e. quality, safety, environment in accordance with the new trends at international and European level. The implementation of management systems completes the existing organisational system in place within the undertakings while also facilitating a systematic enforcement of the OHS legislation. Consequently it contributes to the integration of this field within the general management of the undertaking concerned. The paper herein exhibits the basic elements of the national legislation in the field, the implementation steps of the OHS management systems, examples as regards system procedures drawing up, and the audit of system as well.occupational health, integrated management systems, the national legislation in the field, security assessment systems, assessment method for the risk

Management model of the correlation between the rate of tax pressure and the flow of Inland Revenue. The Laffer Curve

The adaptation to the Romanian macroeconomic realities of the theory according to which an increase in the tax pressure will not necessarily entail the corresponding increase of the Inland Revenue, but in exchange, the decrease of the tax pressure will create favorable conditions for the increase of the inland revenue, implies the creation of correlative models to support the idea and to provide a proper management at macroeconomic level. Such a model is the one using as statistic instrument the Laffer Curve starting from the concrete data of Romanian economy.Rate of tax pressure, normal range, prohibitive range, Inland Revenue, fiscal facilities

Sustainable Management in Academic Architectural Research

AbstractThe success of any firm depends a great deal on good management, tailored to the particular character of the profession. Architecture research and design centres based in universities, however, are a breed apart, and their management differs from that of the average architecture firm in three key aspects: product – fundamental and applied knowledge, human resources – the academic staff, and profit – measured not only in currency, but also in recognition and prestige. The paper will examine the main, specific aspects of sustainable management in an academic setting, exemplified by the case study of the research centre at “Ion Mincu” University

TOURISM, PART OF EUROPEAN POLICY

Developing tourism has a direct impact on economic, social and environmental conditions; consequently, it can and must be an important means of enhancing European citizens' quality of life and must be used as such. However, in order to ensure that this potential is effectively harnessed in the longer term, tourism must meet sustainability requirements which all the players involved – public and private bodies, businesses and users – must in turn observe.employment, businesses, social cohesion, stability, the environment.

Spatial Sensibility in Architectural Education

AbstractSpatial perception is a vital skill for architects. Architectural pedagogy methods naturally focus on its development, but they rely heavily on abstract notions and exercises. In most schools, thinking in, of and with space – is a geometrically arid, grid- dependent affair. But spaces aren’t necessarily places - defined by experiences, memories, individual and collective meanings. Spatial intelligence should be complemented by spatial sensibility, and both should be equally important in architectural education. This paper represents a case study of cultivating these skills in architecture students, through studio projects designed to raise their receptivity to the context and socio-cultural dimensions of the site

Ornamental Art and Architectural Decoration

AbstractCondemning ornament as a crime, modernism severed the symbiotic architecture/arts connection for nearly 80 years. Postmodernism reclaimed decoration as vital to composition, but the ornament/architecture relationship was practically reinvented. In contemporary architecture, this essential, complex and ambiguous rapport is defined by a multiplicity of trends, design directions and experimental forays into the sciences and arts. This paper investigates the reconfiguration of this relationship, assesses the impact of technology on this re-shaping, providing a possible answer to the following question: since the arts are becoming increasingly specialized, is a means of artistic expression specifically tailored to built objects still possible

IMPROVING THE PLANTING PROCESS BY USING CUP OPERATING CYCLE DIAGRAM

The study carried out on the qualitative indicators of work for planting seedlings requires knowledge of the cyclogram of the operation of the cup of the planting device.This involves knowing and correctly setting the operational phases of the bucket at a full rotation of the distributor disc.The realization of the cyclogram takes into account the kinematic elements of the transmission that determine the peripheral speed of rotation of the cup and influence the time of placing the seedling in the cup by the user.Consisting of several sectors, namely the sector of placing the seedling in the cup, moving the seedling cup until it opens and leaving the seedling in the ground, moving the open cup without seedling, closing the cup for feeding the seedling by the user, mainly influences the distance between the plates at a time.At the same time, the peripheral speed of rotation and the times for completing the operational phases of the cup have an influence on the state of fatigue of the user, in the conditions where an experienced user can place 60-70 seedlings/minute.Following the conducted research, conclusions were drawn on the operation of the planter with different number of cups at different work speeds on the achievement of the respective work quality indices: the distance between plants in a row, the position of the plant in the soil. The obtained results led to observations for the optimization of the cyclogram

COMPARATIVE EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH ON THE QUALITY OF THE WORK OF THE COMBINED EQUIPMENT FOR SHREDDING AND INCORPORATING VEGETABLE RESIDUES COMPARED TO THE AGGREGATE SHREDDER OF VEGETABLE RESIDUES WITH THE U650 TRACTOR

In practice, the operation of destroying plant residues is carried out separately, in general the equipment is mounted on the back of the tractor. Equipment for destroying plant residues such as cutters, platforms with rotors, shredders, etc. is known. which works in aggregate with the tractor. The disadvantages of these equipments consist in the fact that they work independently and only carry out the operation of destroying plant remains and leaving them on the ground, in the technology being the additional passage on the same land for incorporation, which involves fuel consumption, pollution. ground subsidence etc. The combined equipment for shredding and incorporating plant residues eliminates these disadvantages, mainly because the operations are performed in a single pass. The advantage of using this mechanism consists in facilitating operations and increasing productivity with reduced time and fuel costs, at the same time meeting environmental protection requirements by reducing land subsidence and noxes produced by double tillage. Another advantage consists in avoiding the accumulation of plant debris in front of the active organs of the plow and removing it from the furrow, in case the unshredded material would remain on the ground

A COMPARATIVE APPROACH ON THE MOTIVATIONAL DOMINANTS AND PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCE OF THE EMPLOYEES BELONGING TO PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS

The approach on the professional performance of the employees must be dealt with from the perspective of the process of motivation and job satisfaction rising. Therefore, the knowledge and the analysis of the motivational dominants become increasingly important. The research lead to valid results if there is a clear separation between the public and the private organizations; where the way work is organized and the nature of the relationship among staff, influence the job satisfaction of the subjects, including their motivation. A comparative approach based on reliable methodological instruments is necessary, approach which could lead to obtaining reliable information and could offer an objective possibility of correlating indicators, enabling thus the knowledge of the motivation, attitudes, mentalities and professional goals of the interviewed subjects.motivation, motivational dominant, public organization, private organization, professional competence
