THE IMPACT OF THE CRISIS ON THE QUALITY OF LIFE AND SOLUTIONS TO REDUCE THE CRISIS EFFECTS. CASE STUDY: ROMANIA

The economic crisis creates a series of consequences such as loss of jobs, reducing wages, insecurity of the population, reducing standard of living, material hardships, low self-confidence and hope for the better, illnesses, altered human relationships, social protests, ever greater scale strikes, in other words, deterioration of the economic environment. This paper aims to identify possible solutions to improve the effects of the crisis on the quality of life, based on figures from surveys conducted by research firms and the possible correlations to be made between these dates, without attempting to consider that these solutions are unique or the best. The main indicators considered for identifying the negative aspects of the crisis among the population are: the evolution of unemployment, changes in gross domestic product or wage developments in the economy and the share of expenditure linked to the basic needs out of the income earned. Regarding the possible solutions to reduce the population crisis, they are closely related to the credit and monetary policy, and also to the budgetary policy. Under the impact of the economic crisis, the business environment in Romania has suffered. Sub impactul crizei economice, mediul de afaceri din Romania a avut de suferit. Since most investments in 2008 were of foreign origin, the fact that this crisis has affected Romania as well did not surprise anyone. Nowadays Romania's business climate is characterized by lack of direct foreign investments and self funding sources whereas the population declares itself in a large proportion -more than 50% - to be affected by the crisis (1). Effects of the crisis can also be observed in the evolution of consumers' behavior who fearing layoffs and declining revenue, not only turned to buying the same products or to purchase cheaper products, but also to reducing the amount of the purchased products. The quality of social life is essential and strongly related to stimulating economic activity. Satisfaction felt by the consumer will determine the level of consumption and will influence and ultimately decide the supply level. An adequate economic policy in Romania to restore the balance between supply and demand in the market may induce a state of economic recovery. This should be the objective of anti-crisis policies.crisis, quality of life, unemployment rate, gross domestic product, wages rate, social conditions of life, economic environment

Disseny microelectrnic de circuits discriminadors de polsos pel detector LHCb

The aim of this thesis is to present a solution for implementing the front end system of the Scintillator Pad Detector (SPD) of the calorimeter system of the LHCb experiment that will start in 2008 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The requirements of this specific system are discussed and an integrated solution is presented, both at system and circuit level. We also report some methodological achievements. In first place, a method to study the PSRR (and any transfer function) in fully differential circuits taking into account the effect of parameter mismatch is proposed. Concerning noise analysis, a method to study time variant circuits in the frequency domain is presented and justified. This would open the possibility to study the effect of 1/f noise in time variants circuits. In addition, it will be shown that the architecture developed for this system is a general solution for front ends in high luminosity experiments that must be operated with no dead time and must be robust against ballistic deficit

Einfluss verschiedener Wirtspflanzen auf den Adultschlupf des westlichen Maiswurzelbohrers Diabrotica virgifera virgifera (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) und Parameter der adulten Käfer

Der Westliche Maiswurzelbohrer (WCR) Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte 1868 (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) ist einer der bedeutendsten Maisschädlinge weltweit. Alleine in den USA verursacht der Kosten (Schäden und Bekämpfungsmaßnahme von Larven und Adulten) von über 1 Mrd. US-Dollar Jahr. Der Hauptschaden wird durch die Larven verursacht, welche an den Wurzeln fressen und somit massive Ernteverluste herbeiführen können. Bei starkem Befall können auch die Adulten schädlich werden, sie durch Fraß an den Narbenfäden die Kornausbildung beeinträchtigen. Der Käfer stammt ursprünglich Mittelamerika und wurde Anfang der 90er Jahre in Europa (Balkangebiet) eingeschleppt. Es ist bekannt, dass sich die Larven des WCR auch an anderen monokotylen Pflanzen als Mais entwickeln können (Branson & Ortman 1967a & 1970, Moeser 2003, Oyediran & al 2004, Breitenbach & al 2005 / 2006). Dikotyle Pflanzen gehören nach heutigen Erkenntnissen nicht in das Wirtspflanzenspektrum Larven. Diese Untersuchungen fanden allerdings entweder in den USA oder im Labor statt und sind nur bedingt auf die europäische Feldsituation übertragbar. In 2004 wurden erstmals Freilandversuche Wirtspflanzenspektrum in Rumänien unter europäischen Freilandbedingungen durchgeführt (Breitenbach & al 2005). Diese Versuche wurden in 2005 und 2006 fortgeführt. Bis jetzt wurden 5 verschiedene Ungräser als mögliche Wirtspflanzen für die Larven des WCR unter Freilandbedingungen nachgewiesen.Since the late 60s it is known that larvae of the Western Corn Rootworm (WCR) Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte 1868 (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) do not only feed on maize. Already in the late 60s and early 70s nearly twenty possible monocotyledonous host plants for the larvae of WCR were recorded, but nearly all field data known were gained in the United States. For Europe only laboratory or greenhouse data are available. For this reason field trials were carried out in Lovrin, Romania, since 2004. Five different weeds, mainly Setaria-species were identified and considered to be suitable host plants for the larvae of WCR under Romanian field conditions

The Effectiveness Of Collaborative Learning In Improving Students' Speaking Skill

Tujuan penilitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakah ada peningkatan atau tidak terhadap kemampuan siswa dalam berbicara setelah diajarkan menggunakan teknik Collaborative Learning. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dan dilakanakan di kelas XI IPS 1 yang berjumlah 37 orang. Peneliti menggunakan tes berbicara untuk mengumpulan data. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa ada peningkatan kemampuan sisiwa dalam berbicara setelah diajarkan menggunakan teknik Collaborative Learning. Hal ini dapat dibuktikan dari adanya peningkatan nilai rata-rata siswa dari pretes ke postes yaitu 42.94 ke 72.43, dengan nilai t-table 42.300 dan t-value 2.028. Oleh karena itu dapat disimpulkan jika teknik Collaborative Learning dapat meningkatkan kemampuan siswa dalam berbicara.The aim of this research is to find out whether there is a significant improvement of the students' speaking skill after they were taught by using Collaborative Learning. This research used quantitative approach and was conducted to 37 students in class XI IPS 1. The researcher administered speaking test in collecting the data. The result of the data analysis showed that there was a significant improvement in students' speaking skill after they were taught by using Collaborative Learning. It could be proven from the improvement of students' mean score from pretest to posttest, which was 42.94 to 72.43, with t-table is 42.300 and the t-value is 2.028. In short, Collaborative Learning can improve students' speaking skill
