- Summary/Abstract:We live in the age of responsible investment. The time for a reset of finance after the 2008 World Financial Recession and the 2020 global pandemic has come. In the aftermath of two major economic crises, the societal call for responsible market behavior has reached unprecedented momentum. As the novel Coronavirus (SARS-COV-2) hit the world, the external economic shock has widespread implications for finance and economics. In the eye of a worldwide healthcare crisis impacting economics on a massive scale, the need for understanding the connection between health and capital on the individual, nuclear family level, corporate community standards and conduct as well as the overall economy became blatant. Interestingly, in the individual finance and investment literature, personal expenses due to sickness and work impairments due to chronic diseases are hardly mentioned. On the family level, unhealthy individual dynamics may lead to additional cognitive complexity that deters from reaching full productive potential as well as may cause critical life events, such as divorce, which can have drastic financial outcomes with long-term implications. On the corporate level, COVID-19 has opened the gates for corporations focusing on the overall health status of employees fostering prevention and health safety precautions as never before in the history of industrialization. Lastly, over entire populations, there is a strong connection between health levels and productivity, which directly influences the Gross Domestic Product of countries. Despite all the mentioned connections, hardly any economic literature concerns the dependence of health on the Keynesian multiplier. Governmental money spent on healthcare may have a multiplied multiplier effect on the overall economy but – to this day – economic literature remains scarce on the economic effect of healthcare-dependent multipliers. Attention to the importance of health and well-being for individual financial success, familial functioning as well as entire populations and overlapping generations may innovatively leverage health capital and health wealth into a category of Socially Responsible Investment and Sustainable Finance in the post-COVID-19 era.

- Summary/Abstract:Forecasting leads to adequate and comprehensive planning for sustainable development. A number of procedures are used to estimate, predict and forecast data, but not all are able to capture the historical path of the data generating process adequately. In view of this, the timeseries characteristics, structural changes and trend of inflation in Nigeria (1996-2022) were analyzed using ARMA, Holt-Winters, spline and other associated models. The results indicated that inflation in Nigeria has remained above acceptable limits in a cyclical trend during the period under study and that there is every possibility that Nigerian inflation would remain above 10% for some time to come. There were six shocks, the major stressors being food inflation, oil and gas prices and wages adjustment. For Nigeria to achieve a stable inflation rate regime of acceptable limits, a robust economic management and intelligence team using a global innovation platform as well as evidenced-based policies which ensure that Nigeria does not swerve away from the path to recovery should be established in consultation with the fiscal, monetary, and research authorities.

- Page Range:27-31
- No. of Pages:5
- Keywords:behavior; psychic mechanisms; manipulation; persuasion
- Summary/Abstract:Our personality system is composed of cognitive, motivational, affective, aptitude and behavioral structures. Of all these, behavior represents the way we externalize ourselves and thus, causes us to act differently in certain situations. A category of prosocial behaviors regarding the defense of law and justice are presented, but also antisocial behaviors that defy any social norm. An important role is represented by both motivation and affectivity - mechanisms for stimulating behavior, to which are added needs and wants, those intermediate states that influence behavior. Also, the main forms of psychosocial influence, strategies of persuasion and manipulation, as well as the effects of psychosocial influence will be presented.
Perspectives in Criminology
Perspectives in Criminology

- Author(s):Nelu Dorinel Popa
- Language:English
- Subject(s):Criminal Law, Court case
- Page Range:32-39
- No. of Pages:7
- Keywords:criminology; interdisciplinary science
- Summary/Abstract:In order to further prove its relevance and impact on other fields, criminology needs to follow some trends and, at the same time, create chapters that respond to the needs of society. In other words, the science of criminology has an interdisciplinary and dynamic character, developing with society. However, there is currently no consensus on its future. Instead, discussions are taking place about the direction it may take, whether it is about how the subject should be taught in universities or which areas of criminology should gain importance in the coming years. This article will therefore provide a brief analysis of the future of criminology, seen through the prism of possible scenarios and future areas within criminology.

- Language:English
- Subject(s):Politics and society, Policy, planning, forecast and speculation
- Page Range:40-48
- No. of Pages:9
- Keywords:Climate change; Cultural diplomacy; Global common goods
- Summary/Abstract:In the age of global warming, pandemics and political East-West tensions, the time for science diplomacy has come. Science diplomacy originated during the Cold War era when institutions, such as the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), built institutional foundations to connect scientists via empirical and rational facts in order to solve global issues of concern aside from potential political realities and country stance differences. Today’s most pressing international challenges in climate change, pandemic prevention and resilient finance despite rising East-West tensions call for a renewed spirit to discuss global problems without political biases and historic international customary practice.

Social Dialogue and Tripartism Paradigm at the Level of the European Union
Social Dialogue and Tripartism Paradigm at the Level of the European Union
(Social Dialogue and Tripartism Paradigm at the Level of the European Union)
- Author(s):Mihaela Agata Popescu
- Language:English
- Subject(s):International Law, EU-Legislation
- Page Range:53-58
- No. of Pages:5
- Keywords:trade unions; employers’ associations; social dialogue; partnerships
- Summary/Abstract:The problem of social dialogue and conceptual crystallization (Ștefanescu 2017) of this phenomenon was an element of maximum interest for European legal doctrine and specialized practice, especially at the level of the European Union and international bodies with attributions in the field of labor protection. Thus, the International Labor Organization (ILO) proposes a working definition for social dialogue (Popescu 2021, 37), which reflects processes and practices found in different countries and which regards social dialogue as a voluntary act of information, consultation and negotiation of social agreements between partners, as well as negotiation of collective labor contracts. More precisely, according to the definition proposed by the International Labor Organization (ILO), Social Dialogue includes any type of negotiation, consultation or the simple exchange of information between representatives of the government, employers and workers on topics of common interest regarding economic and social policies (Popescu 2021, 36). There can be a tripartite process in which the government formally participates in the dialogue, or it can refer to bipartite relations, involving only representatives of workers and management (or trade unions and employers’ associations), in which the government participates indirectly or not.
Discrimination of the Roma in European Union Countries

(Discrimination of the Roma in European Union Countries)
- Author(s):Ioana Emilia Milanovici
- Language:English
- Subject(s):Ethnic Minorities Studies, EU-Legislation
- Page Range:59-63
- No. of Pages:5
- Keywords:discrimination; minorities; Roma; European Union
- Summary/Abstract:Discrimination is a widespread phenomenon throughout the world, representing a constant concern for various authorities in the field in order to combat it, especially starting with the 20th century, particularly after WWII. Sanctioning of discrimination is an effort of state authorities with attributions in the field, but also of non-governmental organizations actively involved in combating discrimination of any kind. Most often, discrimination remains unsanctioned for reasons related to the group or the person subject to discrimination. Ignorance of the law, lack of access to information, the bureaucratic procedure in the courts, lack of knowledge upon competent authorities whom the persons or groups targeted by discrimination should address, but also the ignorance of the forms of discrimination leading to the assimilation of acts of discrimination as a normality of society are some of the most common reasons why the phenomenon of discrimination is widespread, difficult to identify, prove and sanction.
Explaining the Relationship between Roman Civil Law and Praetorian Law
Explaining the Relationship between Roman Civil Law and Praetorian Law
(Explaining the Relationship between Roman Civil Law and Praetorian Law)
- Author(s):Ionuţ Ciutacu
- Language:English
- Subject(s):Civil Law, Social history
- Page Range:64-68
- No. of Pages:5
- Keywords:Civil Law; Praetorian Law; Roman Private Law
- Summary/Abstract:Praetorian law and civil law are two closely related branches of Roman private law. Civil law is a set of legal norms, specific to the old era, when law was confused with religion and morality, legal relationships were simple and rare, and legal norms could not be modified or abrogated due to the conservatism of the Romans, who considered that they came from to the gods. Civil law was exclusivist, because it applied only to Roman citizens, and formalist, because civil law acts were concluded by performing some rituals and pronouncing some solemn words, the mistake of which led to the non-existence of the act. Because of this, ius civile delayed the evolution of Roman law. As the Romans gained legal experience, their practical spirit prompted them to resort to praetorian law. It appeared as a reaction to the conservatism of civil law norms and is a set of legal procedures, which contributed to the updating of civil law norms and the evolution of private law procedurally.

- Language:English
- Subject(s):Civil Law, Political history
- Page Range:69-72
- No. of Pages:4
- Keywords:Transylvania; Medieval Era; state; law; organization
- Summary/Abstract:Just like the history of any other field of activity, the history of law in general and Romanian law, in particular, has undeniable importance in the study of legal sciences as a whole. In the stated context, the history of Romanian law is a historical, legal but also philological discipline with the aim of reconstructing, in general terms, the theoretical aspect and practical applications of legal institutions throughout history, as they were thought and applied by the ancestors of ours in the historical environment in which they lived. Expression of the feudal arrangement in the geographical space of Transylvania, the right belonging to the voivodship established under conditions similar to those that determined the appearance of the Wallachia and Moldavia, continues to be at the foundation of the political organization of the Romanians in the principality of Transylvania.

Aspects of Beauty and Sublime in Humans
Aspects of Beauty and Sublime in Humans
(Aspects of Beauty and Sublime in Humans)
- Author(s):Simina Cherecheș
- Language:English
- Subject(s):Aesthetics, Social Philosophy
- Page Range:87-94
- No. of Pages:7
- Keywords:beautiful; sublime; human; emotional impact; stimuli; sensations
- Summary/Abstract:The sublime is what surrounds us when an image gives us a mood with a strong emotional impact, when we see something that brings back memories or some senses, we have the impression that time stands still and that we are above all the things. We see daily things that gain our interest and we would like to sit and linger for a long time watching them. The fact that we are surrounded by beauty and beautiful things makes us more and more strict with ourselves and with our work in order to have control over the things in our lives, for example, to have a physical appearance that makes our life enjoyable and by which we are delighted to have a very good image of ourselves. All the time we live we have the feeling of the sublime, something truly great, something that makes us aware of our lives or the moments in which we live.
The Notion of ”Publicity” in the Legal Field
The Notion of ”Publicity” in the Legal Field
(The Notion of ”Publicity” in the Legal Field)
- Author(s):Marilena Marin
- Language:English
- Subject(s):Marketing / Advertising, ICT Information and Communications Technologies
- Page Range:95-101
- No. of Pages:6
- Keywords:advertising; real estate; right of communication
- Summary/Abstract:The connection between “law” and “advertising”/“publicity” opens the way to a series of approaches that only an interdisciplinary analysis can portray as completely and correctly as possible. In this paper, we will analyze the notion of ”publicity” with reference to the field of law, in particular, as well as some references to other fields where this notion is used. We will observe that the notions: “law”, ”social and legal order” and “social and legal norms” are present in different fields and analyzed in different visions. In each of these situations, the starting point is terminological benchmarks, as well as some aspects related to the origin and historical evolution of the analyzed notions. Although this work has, first of all, a legal approach, we intend to go a little beyond the boundaries characteristic of the field of law and to clearly delimit the notion of "immovable publicity/movable publicity" from the notions of “publicity" and “advertisement”. Between these notions we bring as a bridge "communication within the limits of the law" or “the right of publicity”. At the end, for an increased efficiency of the information presented, we propose a complete definition of the notion of “publicity”, which will include all the meanings analyzed in this paper.
