Interpersonal Personality Type as a Result of the Manifestations of Ethnic Groups Individuals from Dobrogea

The Romanian people, especially ethnicbelonging of the people was one of the people subject to the proletariandictatorship, which has claimed over a long period study in this area.    Inthe last decade we are witnessing a revival of studies on ethnic groups inRomania. This is due not only progress and the spread of democracy, encouraginglinguistic, but also some deeper theoretical perspectives on diversity ofethnicity seen as opposed unification that could bring world economicglobalization and scientific and technological.   Ethnicgroups, social organizations with specific characteristics becomes morepronounced as, the strongest influence their component elements (organizationsand institutions) and through their people. Differences between ethnic groupsbecome noticeable if we refer to the organization and functioning of familiesin urban and rural communities, ways to produce goods or ways to spend yourfree time. The difference of the ethnic groups, however, does not stop here.They are obvious and if it investigates the ways in which group members analyzeand interpret them.    Byhow they are managing their own ethnic groups, rules of internal organization,the statuses and roles of men, the ways in which they are sanctioned adversebehaviors and encourage behaviors that may be favorable, the illustrations andpictures about them, they generate especially the people involved in theiroperation, ethnic organizations causes people to act as their members, maintainself-awareness and ethnic groups to preserve.   Currently in Romania live, learn and work together membership of severalethnicities such as Romanian, Hungarian, Saxon, Székely, Bulgarians, Armenians, Russians, Turks, Tatars, Roma, Macedo and so on, each with its own culturalparticularities, characteristics known little or unknown to others

Anti-Candida activity of flavonoids - an overview

Flavonoids are a group of plant polyphenols which received an increased attention during the recent past due to their important antimicrobial activities. Those compounds could be a reliable source of new antifungals, used to efficiently control infections caused by pathogenic fungi such as Candida spp. Candida species represents a leading cause of mortality all around the world, posing a serious threat to medical systems. Therefore, finding new compounds with antifungal activity for treatment of Candida infections is a real challenge of modern medicine. This review focuses on the antifungal activity of natural, semi-synthetic and synthetic flavonoids against the most prevalent pathogenic Candida species. In addition, the review outlines the mechanisms of action and the possible use of flavonoids as anti-virulence agents to withstand Candida pathogenicity and antifungal resistance

THE IMPACT OF THE ECONOMIC CRISIS ON CREDIT INSURANCE

The insurance domain is one of the most complex and extensive areas of the market. However this field is very risk exposed especially in this period of economic instability. One of the most non-performant insurance products at this time is the credit insurance. Due to inability to pay and increasing bad loans, insurance companies have decided to remove these products from their portfolio. We believe that the signs that led to this situation have been very visible for a long time, but the insurance market players refused to give too much importance to them because they based their operations on the artificial strength of the whole system. In this paper we want to show how things have evolved on the credit insurance market as compared to the general insurance market, and if the present situation could have been anticipated and avoided.crisis, inflation, hazard, credits, performance, panel data

Sexuality and religion in the public sphere. Opinions of French students on mediatization of intimate sphere

This article explores the passive participation of French students within the construction of public opinion on sexuality and religion. The research was conducted on 375 French students’ sample, aged 18 to 23 in the second year of Bachelor's degree in Humanities and Social Sciences within a control environment of documentary research, discursive production, and audiovisual creativity. The experience took place over two consecutive years, respectively, 2017-2018 and 2018-2019. The experiment was based on three distinct explorations corresponding to distinct individual cognitive experiences aimed at the representation, expression and meaning of the intimate limits assigned by students to public display through the mediatization of sexuality and religion. The opinion of French students on the mediatization of intimate sphere in view of their passive participation within the construction of this opinion feeds two scenarios: privatization of the public sphere and commodification of the intimate sphere.; Este artículo explora la participación pasiva de los estudiantes franceses en la construcción de la opinión pública sobre sexualidad y religión. La investigación se llevó a cabo con 375 estudiantes franceses, entre 18 y 23 años, inscritos en segundo año de la licenciatura en Humanidades y Ciencias Sociales, en un entorno controlado de investigación documental, producción discursiva y creatividad audiovisual. La experiencia tuvo lugar durante dos años consecutivos, 2017-2018 y 2018-2019. El experimento se basó en tres exploraciones distintas correspondientes a diversas experiencias cognitivas individuales dirigidas a la representación, expresión y significado de los límites íntimos asignados por los estudiantes en relación con la exhibición pública mediatizada de la sexualidad y la religión. La opinión de los estudiantes franceses sobre la mediatización de la esfera íntima a través de su participación pasiva en la construcción de opinión, alimenta dos escenarios: la privatización de la esfera pública y la mercantilización de la esfera íntima

Legitimacy and Convergence in International Accounting Regulation

Originally formed as a method for quantifying wealth, accounting changed in line with the evolution of economic phenomena, reaching its peak by developing a general framework for reporting at the international level, in response to increased globalization trends that characterize modern society. The International Accounting Standards Board has successfully gained the status of reference transnational standardization organism, but its democratic deficit allows questions to be asked on its procedural legitimacy. This study aims to emphasize that achieving its goals as an international normaliser depends firstly on the manner in which this body of standardization will be able to fulfil the construction of its procedural legitimacy, and secondly on the completion of the IASB and FASB convergence process as one of the most challenging projects conducted on the financial reporting field. The scientific approach seeks to reveal the accomplishments regarding the development of IASB’s due process and also to analyze the degree of convergence achieved by the most important transnational bodies in accounting regulation

The snoRNA MBII-52 (SNORD 115) is processed into smaller RNAs and regulates alternative splicing

The loss of HBII-52 and related C/D box small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) expression units have been implicated as a cause for the Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). We recently found that the C/D box snoRNA HBII-52 changes the alternative splicing of the serotonin receptor 2C pre-mRNA, which is different from the traditional C/D box snoRNA function in non-mRNA methylation. Using bioinformatic predictions and experimental verification, we identified five pre-mRNAs (DPM2, TAF1, RALGPS1, PBRM1 and CRHR1) containing alternative exons that are regulated by MBII-52, the mouse homolog of HBII-52. Analysis of a single member of the MBII-52 cluster of snoRNAs by RNase protection and northern blot analysis shows that the MBII-52 expressing unit generates shorter RNAs that originate from the full-length MBII-52 snoRNA through additional processing steps. These novel RNAs associate with hnRNPs and not with proteins associated with canonical C/D box snoRNAs. Our data indicate that not a traditional C/D box snoRNA MBII-52, but a processed version lacking the snoRNA stem is the predominant MBII-52 RNA missing in PWS. This processed snoRNA functions in alternative splice-site selection. Its substitution could be a therapeutic principle for PW

Enhanced ferrimagnetism in auxetic NiFe2O4 in the crossover to the ultrathin film limit

We investigate the sensitive interplay between magnetic, electronic and structural properties in the ferrimagnetic oxide NiFe2O4. Emphasis is placed on the impact of reduced dimensionality in the crossover from bulk-like to ultrathin films. We observed an enhanced saturation magnetization $M_S$ for ultrathin NiFe2O4 films on Nb-SrTiO3 (001) substrates that co-occurs with a reduced out-of-plane lattice constant under compressive in-plane epitaxial strain. We found a bulk-like cationic coordination of the inverse spinel lattice independent of the NiFe2O4 film thickness -- thus ruling out a cationic inversion that nominally could account for an enhanced $M_S$. Our study instead uncovers a reduction of the unit cell volume, i.e. an auxetic behavior in ultrathin NiFe2O4 films, which may result in an enhanced magnetic exchange caused by an increased interatomic electronic localization.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figure

MirZ: an integrated microRNA expression atlas and target prediction resource

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short RNAs that act as guides for the degradation and translational repression of protein-coding mRNAs. A large body of work showed that miRNAs are involved in the regulation of a broad range of biological functions, from development to cardiac and immune system function, to metabolism, to cancer. For most of the over 500 miRNAs that are encoded in the human genome the functions still remain to be uncovered. Identifying miRNAs whose expression changes between cell types or between normal and pathological conditions is an important step towards characterizing their function as is the prediction of mRNAs that could be targeted by these miRNAs. To provide the community the possibility of exploring interactively miRNA expression patterns and the candidate targets of miRNAs in an integrated environment, we developed the MirZ web server, which is accessible at www.mirz.unibas.ch. The server provides experimental and computational biologists with statistical analysis and data mining tools operating on up-to-date databases of sequencing-based miRNA expression profiles and of predicted miRNA target sites in species ranging from Caenorhabditis elegans to Homo sapien

Distributed Branching Bisimulation Minimization by Inductive Signatures

We present a new distributed algorithm for state space minimization modulo branching bisimulation. Like its predecessor it uses signatures for refinement, but the refinement process and the signatures have been optimized to exploit the fact that the input graph contains no tau-loops. The optimization in the refinement process is meant to reduce both the number of iterations needed and the memory requirements. In the former case we cannot prove that there is an improvement, but our experiments show that in many cases the number of iterations is smaller. In the latter case, we can prove that the worst case memory use of the new algorithm is linear in the size of the state space, whereas the old algorithm has a quadratic upper bound. The paper includes a proof of correctness of the new algorithm and the results of a number of experiments that compare the performance of the old and the new algorithms
