Aspects regarding the role of investments and the business environment in economic development

The paper presents an analysis of investments as the safest prospect for economic growth. In Romania, investments are needed to recover the economic gaps as compared to the European Union countries, but also to reduce the differences between regions. Sustainable development of the country must solve the challenges of the transition from the industrial to the digital economy, of adapting and confronting climate change, of demographic change, to which the corrections of economic imbalances due to the consumption-based growth model must be added. Investments can be made by the business environment (large companies, consortia, multinationals) operating in Romania. Investments can also be made through projects that are funded from the European Union budget. Investment stimulates job-creating economic sectors that will generate economic growth. First of all, the investments must be financed by allocating funds through domestic possibilities, to which the attraction of foreign direct investments is added. An important role in this regard belongs to the legislative framework, which determines the removal of barriers for investment, but also to the attraction of Romania's economy which is different from one economic sector to another. In the article, the authors presented the main aspects of investments and aimed to highlight the effect of investments on the business environment

Study on the effect of Allium Ursinum on soil bacteria evolution

Romania is included among European countries where Allium ursinum species is present. This species has aroused the interest of the research team, because of the many positive aspects it shows, starting from the medical field to the food sector. One of the objectives we have set and managed to capture in this paper refers to soil microorganisms, the environment from which the plant takes the water and nutrients and whose fertility is provided by microbial processes. The biological material was represented by soil and Allium ursinum plants corresponding to each soil sample. Source area of soil and garlic plant is the west part of Romania. Bacterial population was isolated from screened soil samples (without plant debris) but also unscreened (plant residues were not removed), on culture media: soil extract with added nutritive gelose. Bacterial population abundance studies were performed after 24 and 48 hours of incubation, at the optimum temperature for mesophilic microorganisms. Although there were no differences in the nutrient substrate used for the study of culture "in vitro", the results highlight that in the first 24 hours of incubation the bacterial population clearly dominate in the screened soil sample, compared with the unscreened sample. In the next 24 hours, the existing quantitative bacterial differences between the two samples were significantly reduced
