The ILC DEPFET Prototype: Report of the Test Beam at CERN 2008

The DEPFET Collaboration pursues the development of a high resolution pixel vertex detector for future colliders (like ILC), based on the integration of amplifying transistors into a fully depleted bulk. In August 2008, six DEPFET prototypes were tested in a pion beam at SPS complex at CERN, collecting more than 20 million of events. In this contribution, the prototype system, the experimental setup, the analysis software and preliminary results are presented.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figures, LCWS08 conference, tracking and vertexing sessio

Linking Job Design and Training in the Romanian Organizations

In this paper the author present an image of the human resources practices used in the Romanian companies. In this way, we conducted a study regarding human resources management practices in the Romanian companies, on 150 organizations from different fields. The main objective of the study was to obtain a relevant volume of real and trustworthy information regarding the degree of knowledge, the implementation and the future directions of human resources management development process in Romanian companies. The author presents a comparative analyze regarding the job design and training activities in the Romanian organizations. He involves in his study different types of organizations such: small and medium enterprises, large companies, public institutions and multinationals. The value of the information regarding the particularities of human resources management in Romania is extremely important, because we undertook a complex analysis of the main human resources management activities in 150 Romanian companies. Knowing the particularities of the human resource management in the Romanian organizations, specially the particularities of the job design and training, it will be more easier to find out more and better solutions to the problems that we are facing on in different organizations, in the context of the economic crisis and of the reform process of the Romanian public institutions.human resource management; job design; training programs; small and medium enterprises; public institutions.

INEFFICIENCY OF PUBLIC INVESTMENT IN ROMANIA

According to Keynes, increasing of the public investment is one of the best solutions to economic recovery, since it causes strong effects upon the economic growth. However, according to recent studies, public investment expenditure generates less effect in the short term, due to the lags associated with the achievement of new project, but a larger long-term impact by stimulating potential GDP through increase of the capital stock and of total factor productivity. In this study I have aimed to analyze the influence of public capital spending on economic growth and to explain how it could generate sustainable recovery of the Romanian economy. My conclusion is that increasing of the public investment, which took place during the economic expansion of the Romania has generated a little effect, given that many of the projects started in one year were not funded in the following financial years.public investment; economic growth; fiscal multiplier

Assessment of the employees’ performance – premise for the increase of the quality of the distribution services

The necessity of assessing the personnel in an organization is imposed by the accelerated rhythm of economic and technical-scientific development, by the emergence of some performing in almost all activity fields, by the fierce competition due to the international extension of many companies’ activity. This paper is focused on the necessity of the constant and proper assessment of the human resources performance in a small enterprise in the distribution of tyres. The tyre industry is an important and very dynamic sector within the national economy, with a high performance level, due especially to the presence on the Romanian market of the world greatest tyre producers and distributors. Under these circumstances, on an emergent market, a small enterprise cannot survive unless it offers the best quality services, and this can be fulfilled only by the means of human resources with high performance.employees’ performance, distribution services, Romanian tyre industry.

The flat tax in Romania. A good economic strategy?

This paper evaluates the main effects of the implementation of tax flat system in Romanian economy. If accompanying measures are not going to be enforced, the introduction of the flat rate of 16% in Romania will lead to unsustainable budgetary deficits and inflationist pressures. The flat tax favors the workers with big salaries and also big and financially solid companies (which, mainly “export” the profit). It will attack the fragile macroeconomic stability. It is uncertain if it will lead to the increase of the degree of employment, having in view the fact that the contributions to the social insurances have a very high level. The alternative scenario is simple. Romania should have chosen to continue what it was confirmed to be a valid element of the economic evolution towards a European standard (progressive fiscal system).flat tax; fiscal policy; inflation; AD-AS model
