Емпирико-теоретичен модел на Обществен съвет в ДГ „Слънчице“ – гр. Мездра (по примера на Закона за предучилищното и училищното образование)

Author(s): Atanaska Hristova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 9/2016

A key priority in the Law of preschool and school education is the establishment of a Public Council at each educational institution. The established Public Council works alongside the Boards and does not encroach on their functions. Its members are elective with a mandate and have control and consulting functions. This allows the public’s participation in the strategy for development of the kindergarten and the school, of individual programs and policies, direct observation of stakeholders on the public funds expenditure. It is expected, when properly structured and legitimate acting Public Council, to allow the public support to the institution through direct participation in the organized activities and civil control of its management. This will meet the needs of the society and the policies and interests of the school/kindergarten.

Institutional Drift of the Healthcare System in Poland – the Institutional Approach

Author(s): Jarosław Plichta / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2017

The healthcare system in Poland has undergone a series of changes for many decades. For many years the entire system has been in a state of drift. The government has searched for a solution to this situation and a way out of the “path dependence”. Regardless of political aspects, centralisation has numerous disadvantages from the institutional point of view. In spite of the neo-classical approach in healthcare economics prevails in the literature, some scholars and practitioners propose alternative approaches, including institutional economics and its successor, New Institutional Economics. The approach emphasises the institutional environment of healthcare and take consideration of many different stakeholders, including informal institutions, thereby provides a broader view of the national healthcare system. The article attempts to examine the main challenges to the healthcare system in Poland from an institutional point of view. Suggestions are offered for how policy makers and industry players may initiate institutional change in healthcare.

Author(s): Roberto M. K. Teniwut,Cawalinya L. Hasyim,Wellem A. Teniwut / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2017

Economically and ecologically, marine environment plays an important role in all aspects of our life. Throughout human existence, we have relied on the marine environment for food, recreational activities, economic opportunities, and so on. For that reason, it is vital to protect, sustain, and improve the coastal zone as an aquatic resources and a habitat for wildlife. Managing coastal zones require involvements from many different stakeholders; however, the integration of all knowledge types -- including local expertise and scientific knowledge -- with the policymaking is not without challenges. This paper looks at the resource based capability and knowledge-based capability perspectives in measuring the effectiveness of knowledge management in a rural coastal region, Southeast Maluku district. This research uses stepwise regression analysis method with 253 respondents. The results of this study indicate that resources based and knowledge based capabilities in this region are effective in supporting the application of knowledge capability management. However, the ability to obtain information and utilise information has not significantly impacted the development of knowledge capability management of fishery resources and marine in this region at the time of writing.

Modele de evaluare a accesibilităţii teritoriale utilizând GIS

Author(s): Antonio Valentin Tache / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2019

Space is the basic concept of geographical analysis, and the spatial relations established between the different elements of the environment are those that structure the planable territory. On a temporal scale, the European space was shaped by a variety of vectors, which ultimately sought to make the use of the geographical landscape more efficient, implicitly by increasing accessibility between expanding cities, between supply and demand. Accessibility is the main "product" of a transport system. This determines the advantage of positioning one region over the others (including itself). Accessibility indicators can be defined to reflect, within or outside the region, the transport infrastructure affecting the region. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are used as scientific and methodological tools for measuring accessibility, monitoring the resulting indicators, identifying spatial disparities and finally finding solutions to support territorial planning.

THE IMPACT OF FISCAL POLICY ON ECONOMY GROWTH

Author(s): Iulia ROȘOIU / Language(s): English Issue: 20/2019

The purpose of this article is to analyze the impact of the fiscal shocks on the economic growth in Romania. Firstly, the article considers the total fiscal shock by using total government revenues and then it studies their structure. Three categories of revenues are used: distortionary taxation, non-distortionary taxation and other revenues. The first estimation is done by using a simple Vector Autoregressive model and the second is based on a Structural Vector Autoregressive model. The results indicate a positive impact if total revenues increase and a negative one when the groups of taxation are considered individually. Among the revenues’ categories, the most significant impact is obtained for distortionary taxation and other revenues.

Author(s): Ionuț Aichimoaie / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 14/2020

While governments and international organizations had more or less prepared plans for a global pandemic, the planning of the accompanying economic shock was much less studied. This paper summarizes research-based policy analyzes and comments on COVID-19 economic measures from international institutions and leading economists. Topics will cover international mechanisms for preventing and combating the effects of the pandemic (trade, capital flows, financial institutions, expectations, etc.), as well as internal impact, such as the size, persistence and sectoral composition of economic instruments. Topics covered also include the impact on political economy, income and inequality, environmental impact, job insecurity, education and research.

The dynamics and the relationship between innovation and key macroeconomic indicators for economic growth, the labor market and income inequality in Bulgaria and the EU have been empirically examined. The results show that the perceived direction of development of the EU and Bulgaria, in the context of innovations – science, scientific achievements and public innovative approaches and policies – has a positive impact on economic growth and the labor market.

Procesul regenerării siturilor de tip brownfield – un obiectiv cheie în dezvoltarea urbană durabilă (2)

Author(s): Michael Alexander H. E. Birgmayr / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

For many EU communities’ brownfields emergence was, or still is, a new issue, the complexity of which has not been fully perceived, and the economic, social and environmental effects of which have not been fully understood. In some European countries brownfield reuse policies and redevelopment techniques have been successfully practiced for more than 40 years. In other countries, this is still an emerging subject. This is the reason why sharing knowledge and experience on brownfield reuse is so important in the European context. A needed industrial development on a brownfield site, despite its unavoidable negative environmental impacts, can be more sustainable than a public park on the same site, as it helps preserve alternative greenfield sites. In addition, the proposed development could generate jobs resulting in positive effects in the social and economic dimensions. Increases in local municipality income could be allocated to environmental improvements in the surrounding area. There are many examples (so called “best practices”) reporting how human factor as an initiator of brownfield regeneration – e.g. making a good project proposal, gaining a local community support, acquirement of grant titles, etc. – have overcome location handicaps or modified the characteristics of suitability of area or concrete brownfield site according to specific project purposes. In this respect, it is very important to study specific local political, cultural and social structures and contexts of regeneration processes, roles of specific actors.

Propozycja przestrzennej metodyki oceny obciążenia przestrzeni miejskiej reklamą zewnętrzną na przykładzie miasta Polic

Author(s): Michał Kupiec,Sara Bręcz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 37/2018

Outdoor advertisements dominated the centers of modern cities, influencing the recipient through the form, size and manner of communication. Advertisements generate visual impact and affect spatial order, thus causing the need to develop tools that allow cities to assess their impact. An important role in this matter is played by visual analyzes, the vast majority of which are based on qualitative methods and have a linear character. The paper presents a variant of the visual assessment method of urban area, based not only on subjective impressions, but also on the quantitative data obtained as a result of measurements of the number of carriers. The analysis of the load was carried out on the basis of a set of research points arranged in 200-meter intervals on the street network of the city of Police, which is characterized by the dominance of multi-family buildings with an open character. The proposed research method enabled the assessment of the impact of advertising media on the composition and the reception of urban space, and the collected results enabled visualization of the spatial distribution of load by outdoor advertising, creating a comprehensive picture of the city’s aesthetics.

Egy baloldali oktatáspolitika körvonalai

Author(s): György Mészáros,Eszter Neumann / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 28/2021

In the politically divided Hungarian education policy field, a dedicated and coherent leftist education policy alternative has never been formulated since the regime change. Inspired by Hungarian critical education literature and the international literature on leftist education and pedagogy, our paper aims to make a sketch of the main cornerstones of an up-to-date and comprehensive leftist education policy approach. The paper aims to spark a debate: it does not elicit data analysis but rather elicits principles. The main elements of a leftist, critical education policy alternative are the following: an equalizing and comprehensive school system which considers the social embeddedness of the schools and conceives the school as a political space at the macro-level; adaptive, community-based schools at the meso-level; and democratic pedagogical practices at the micro-level. In addition to these main lines, it is proposed to think about the teacher as considered as a social transformative, autonomous intellectual and professional and to envisage a curriculum mindful of class issues.

WHAT IS THE SCIENCE OF COMMUNICATION? A POSSIBLE DEFINITION

Author(s): Arthur SUCIU / Language(s): English Issue: 16/2021

The article’s aim is to provide a definition of the science of communication together with the delimitation of the field of research and the identification of a general research method. The starting point is the general phenomenon of communication in the living world, as the research field of communication science is limited, by successive delimitations, to media discourses. The most important aspect that has been highlighted is the political nature of media speeches. Politics de-homogenizes the discursive mass and at the sometime provides a clear criterion for classifying discourses. Thus, insofar as communication is media-based, it is also a political communication.The science of communication is defined as the study of the phenomenon of integration and discursive distancing, in other words of the discursive competition and social negotiation. The starting point of the entire process of definition is the work“ Autonomous Discourse. Communication Strategies”(2013).

Dysfunkcjonalne oddziaływanie państwa w nauce

Author(s): Jerzy Marian Brzeziński / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2021

The author analyses the process of restricting – by means of legal instruments exploited by the government – the autonomy of universities and research institutes in the domain of conducting scientific research. The limitation of rights is implemented resorting to the salami slicing method: in subsequent legal acts the government and the Ministryof Education and Science have introduced, over the last 20 years, regulations increasing the control of the state over scientific activity of research institutes and universities which are subordinate to the Ministry. The author presents examples of this ever increasing intervention of the state affecting not only the activity of research entities but also the activity of national scientists’ organisations. These restrictions fail to bring positive effects expected by the government.
