Research Anticipation: the Methodological Choice

The establishment of a research strategy doesn’t necessarily suppose a specific standardization. Nothing seems to impose to the researcher a projected structure as a basis for his future approach. Our article attempts to identify a few methodological landmarks for a research strategy so that the researcher’s approach would have bigger chances to be a coherent one and thus bring results in a shorter period of time and with fewer resources. Furthermore, a research that brings certain results will have bigger chances to be recognized and validated if specialists can also find the necessary arguments for a correct methodological approach. The suggested methodological issues of a research strategy follow a logical succession, developed from the identification of the research problem (ontological option) to the validation of the research results. The choice and the construction of the actual strategy remain an object of the correct positioning of the researcher as far as the accomplishment of his approach is concerned. Our material is just a general schema of the research strategy, not a detailed presentation of every research phase – these details will be part of several other articles.researcher; research strategy; methodological landmarks; research methodology.

Short essay on traditional management - an attempt of analysis in a Romanian context

Não é nada fácil abordar temas desta natureza. Subjacentes aos problemas exis v tentes, há também que referir aspectos positivos e progressos feitos. Os agentes envolvidos também nos merecem todo o respeito. Contudo, transformações signi ficativas não podem realizar-se sem a prévia identificação dos problemas e das causas. Este estudo é apenas um primeiro passo, que terá de ser seguido por outras pesquisas de carácter quantitativo

Chiral 2D "Strange Metals" from N = 4 SYM

Familiar field theories may contain closed subsectors made out of only fermions, which can be used to explore new and unusual phases of matter in lower dimensions. We focus on the fermionic su(1,1) sector in N=4 SYM and on its ground states, which are Fermi surface states/operators. By computing their spectrum to order $(g_{YM}^2 N)^2$, we argue that fluctuations around this fermi surface, within the sector and in the limit $k_F\rightarrow\infty$, are governed by a chiral 1+1 dimensional sector of the "strange metal" coset $SU(N)_N \otimes SU(N)_N/SU(N)_{2N}$. On the gravity side, the conjectured dual configuration is an $S=0$ degeneration of a rotating black hole. On general grounds we expect that the near horizon excitations of $(S=0,\Omega=1,J\rightarrow\infty)$ degenerations of black holes will be governed by a chiral sector of a 1+1 CFT.Comment: 44 page

Bounds on N=1\mathcal{N}=1 Superconformal Theories with Global Symmetries

Recently, the conformal-bootstrap has been successfully used to obtain generic bounds on the spectrum and OPE coefficients of unitary conformal field theories. In practice, these bounds are obtained by assuming the existence of a scalar operator in the theory and analyzing the crossing-symmetry constraints of its 4-point function. In $\mathcal{N}=1$ superconformal theories with a global symmetry there is always a scalar primary operator, which is the top of the current-multiplet. In this paper we analyze the crossing-symmetry constraints of the 4-point function of this operator for $\mathcal{N}=1$ theories with $SU(N)$ global symmetry. We analyze the current-current OPE, and derive the superconformal blocks, generalizing the work of Fortin, Intrilligator and Stergiou to the non-Abelian case and finding new superconformal blocks which appear in the Abelian case. We then use these results to obtain bounds on the coefficient of the current 2-point function.Comment: Corrected error in analysis for U(1) symmetr

THE INFLUENCE OF FORMAL COMMUNICATION IN THE PROCESS OF ACCESSING EUROPEAN FUNDS

Present article aims, based on direct research, to identify of main sources of information in the process of accessing European funds. Performed within Trotus Valley, Bacau, the proposed research provides pertinent information from the perspective of the main sources of influence on the manifestation of interest in accessing funding and in terms of highlighting the influence of various socio-demographic variables on such information sources. According to the Romanian experience of accessing European funds, apparently formal communication efforts prove ineffective, being less reliable and stimulating compared to the informal interpersonal communication. Because most of the potential beneficiaries of EU funds precept this process as one dominated by sinuous and powerful bureaucracy, we tend to believe that in the expressions of interest in accessing EU funds, formal communication only meet the cognitive structure of attitude, affective and conative entering under the influence of informal communication

MODELING THE PROCESS OF ASSIMILATION AND OPERATIONALIZATION OF THE CONCEPT OF MARKETING BY ROMANIAN LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS

This paper proposes a model that wants to offer some pertinent answers about the process of assimilation and operationalization of the marketing concept in the practice of local organizations in Romania. Considering the reality of organizational practice in Romania, which revealed a lack of consistency in the approach of assimilation and operationalization of the marketing concept, the model tries to capture a range of factors that determine and explain this phenomenon. Reality shows that many Romanian organizations either do not perceive the need and importance of marketing in their activity or assimilate and develop a priori, actions carried out by transnational companies that do not meet the particular context of the Romanian market and / or of internal environment. The model attempts to capture the peculiarities of the process of assimilation and operationalization of the concept of marketing in local organizations and describe the characteristics of each identified organizational structures

What should Romania expect for? A few comments on the subjects of convergence, cohesion and divergence in the EU

Only twoyears andRomania should catch the last wagon ofthe EUintegration train andjoin the otherformer candidate countriesfrom CEE. WhatshouldRomania expectfor? One of the "hot ” subjects concerns the convergence criteria - both nominal and real - and possible Solutionsfor the newly entrant countries. What we intend through thepresent article is a reviewofthe main concepts and debates on the subject ofconvergence (nominal and real - beta, sigma or gamma convergence) and those related— theories and models ofeconomic convergence (neo-classical, neo-liberal, augmented neo-classical, endogenous growth, regional growth), further debates on the Balassa-Samuelson dilemma, on the optimum currency area, core-periphery scenarios, simultaneous and consecutiveperiods ofconvergence and divergence and others. The purpose is to obtain a synthesis ofthe issues Romania should deal with, in the integration perspective

Makroanatomska istraživanja kostura ježa (Erinaceus europaeus L.). II. ossa membri pelvini.

In this study, three adult male hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus Linnaeus) were used to investigate the bones of hind limb. The spina iliaca ventralis caudalis was absent. The symphysis pelvis was formed by symphysis pubis and it was an interpubic ligamentous tissue in hedgehogs. The average Vialleton angle was measured as (8º). Average distance between the midacetabulum and tuber coxae was 39.2 mm and average distance between the midacetabulum and ischial tuberosity (tuber ischiadicum) was 13.8 mm. There were three trochanters on the femur. The tibia and fibula were fused almost in the distal half. There were 7 tarsal bones and the pedis was complete with five digits.Istražena je anatomska građa kostiju stražnje noge u tri odrasla ježa (Erinaceus europaeus L.).
