Web visibility of Romanian universities – an analysis based on website analytics and social media data

[EN] There are many aspects that influence the importance of a university. Among these, web visibility is taking advantage of available technology, focusing on the benefits of internet and social media. This paper provides an analysis of the Romanian public and private universities websites, using alexa.com, a tool for website traffic analysis. Moreover, the official social media accounts of universities (Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Flickr, YouTube and Instagram) were analysed, collecting several data such as: the number of likes and followers, the number of subscribers and the number of posts. The analysis was performed using ANOVA and Nonparametric Test for the presence via websites and Spearman and Pearson correlation to assess the correlation between social media and website traffic. In general, public universities from Romania have more visibility and a higher number of links to their websites compared to private ones. Based on the fact that Facebook and site content are often related, it should be noted that activity on Facebook may improve website rankings for Romanian universities.http://ocs.editorial.upv.es/index.php/HEAD/HEAD18Mirica, A.; Toma, IE.

QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN THE ROMANIAN PHARMACEUTICAL FIELD DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Health services are very important, as in any economy, because the life of all mankind depends on them. Bearing in mind that the pharmacist is the first and last filter in the medical system, we believe that they have a decisive role in the COVID-19 pandemic. Pharmacists must take extra measures to protect themselves, their families, and the community. All patients can be considered as COVID-positive, but pharmacists will offer them the same services and care as before.In the last 15 years, Romania has faced a complex socio-demographic process.The decrease in the birth rate, the general mortality rate and the emigration of the young population led both to the aging of the working age population and to the decrease of the total population of the country.All this aspect led to the reduction of the population size and required a rethinking of the health services system of social protection, in view of prolonging the active life of the population both from the point of view of the quality of the services offered and of the infrastructural facilities.The consumption of services represents an indicator of the quality of life, which we want to discuss in this article

Implanting germanium into graphene

Incorporating heteroatoms into the graphene lattice may be used to tailor its electronic, mechanical and chemical properties. Direct substitutions have thus far been limited to incidental Si impurities and P, N and B dopants introduced using low-energy ion implantation. We present here the heaviest impurity to date, namely $^{74}$Ge$^+$ ions implanted into monolayer graphene. Although sample contamination remains an issue, atomic resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy imaging and quantitative image simulations show that Ge can either directly substitute single atoms, bonding to three carbon neighbors in a buckled out-of-plane configuration, or occupy an in-plane position in a divacancy. First principles molecular dynamics provides further atomistic insight into the implantation process, revealing a strong chemical effect that enables implantation below the graphene displacement threshold energy. Our results show that heavy atoms can be implanted into the graphene lattice, pointing a way towards advanced applications such as single-atom catalysis with graphene as the template.Comment: 20 pages, 5 figure

Mimiu – a possible urban action area in the integrated urban development of Ploieşti

The integrated urban development currently represents the „tip of the spear” of urban planning, promoted by all the structures of the European Union. The principles of this new movement have been established in the table of contents of the Leipzig Charter on Sustainable European Cities (2007), adopted at the Informal Reunion of the European Ministers responsible for Urban Development in the EU Member States. Apart from the crucially important acting strategies, in it we also encounter one that refers to stigmatized communities: Granting special attention to underprivileged areas within the city as a whole. Decisive on this line, it is specified that the “politics of social integration which contributes to the reduction of inequalities and prevention of social exclusion will be the best warranty for maintaining the safety of our cities”. Thus, rough neighbourhoods are mentioned in all of the European Union’s programmatic documents.In our study we have focused our attention on one such underprivileged area, the Mimiu neighbourhood (ghetto) in Ploiesti, where time seems to have stood still for decades, during which time the people here have struggled to make a livin

Skin tears flap management in patient affected by dermatoporosis

BACKGROUND Dermatoporosis is the chronic cutaneous atrophy syndrome that makes the skin particularly fragile and it is the main risk factor in the onset of skin tears (ST). The syndrome is still little known in our country and the particularity acquired by affected skin and its difficulty in regeneration is often ignored. STs, which are often underestimated both by the patient and by the medical staff, have, in the patient with dermatoporosis, an evolution towards the most difficult healing, in which the management of the free skin flap (FSF) is fundamental. If the management of the FSF is inadequate, the evolution of the injury goes towards chronicity, which leads to greater patient suffering and waste of resources. METHODS Following the spontaneous observation of the evolution of ST in patients with dermatoporosis from 2009 to date (about 150) it is clear that the preservation and the combination of vital FSF following an unsuitable cleansing or non-vital FSF, affects the reparative process even if you use appropriate advanced medications. Based on the gained experience, a series of practical recommendations are defined in the immediate and late intervention for the management of the FSF on: the cleansing of the fund of the lesion and of the internal part of the vital flap, the preservation of the flap during cleansing, the primary dressing and the importance of maintaining the right humidity gradient in the interval between dressings. RESULTS To illustrate this, it is brought into vision the evolution of ST in some clinical cases with FSF treated differently with the first two-hour to twenty-day intervention in patients with: age >80 years, Barthel Index from 0 to 100, dermatoporosis stage IIb-IV, ST type T2-T3, FSF >2 cm. Healing times from five to one hundred days, compared to the state and treatment of the flap. CONCLUSIONS The presence and condition of the flap directly affect the healing of ST, the phenomenon is to be explored through clinical studies. With adequate management of the FSF even in the patient with dermatoporosis the STs can reach healing within 15 days. The process lends itself to standardization for the resemblance of the patient's condition

Wealth Taxes in the Context of European Integration and Globalization: a Reconsideration?

In the last decades, in some states, wealth taxes have been reconsidered. Amid theproblems outlined, our paper aims to highlight states options on wealth taxes and to analyze theimpact of reforms on wealth taxes in recent decades, in the member states of the European Union andthe U.S., through the financial, economic and correcting inequalities role, played by taxes, in general,and taxes on wealth, in particular. Amid the rise of social inequalities, especially in the U.S., Asecond objective of our paper, adjacent to those already mentioned, is the analysis of the degree ofreduction of social inequalities, through taxes on wealth in the countries concerned. By a survey inOECD member states, on the role of wealth tax, we find a series of opportunities and limits in theincrease of their financial and redistributive role
