Partnership in times of crisis. Challenges for the Eastern European countries' integration with Europe

Partnership in times of crisis. Challenges for the Eastern European countries' integration with Europe

Author(s): Rafał Sadowski / Language(s): English

Keywords: Eastern European countries; Europe; integration

Over the four years since its launch, the Eastern Partnership initiative has created frameworks and mechanisms for the integration of Eastern Partnership countries with the European Union. Despite this, the partner countries have so far made little meaningful progress in modernisation, implementation of reforms or integration with the EU.Since the European Neighbourhood Policy was launched in 2004, the situation in areas of key importance for the EU, such as democratisation, free-market transformations, European integration, political stability and regional security, has not improved significantly.In this context, it is legitimate to ask questions about the extent to which the European Neighbourhood Policy and the Eastern Partnership have brought the Union closer to achieving its declared objectives in the relations with eastern neighbours. What is the underlying cause of the dwindling involvement and declining interest in achieving real progress in integration? How may the events that have been dominating the political agenda – i.e. the EU’s financial crisis, the debate on the future of the Union, but also the political processes taking place within the partner countries – affect the future of mutual relations?

Ograniczanie ryzyka operacyjnego w transakcjach faktoringowych

Author(s): Milan Popović / Language(s): Polish

Keywords: factoring; operational risk; information technologies; ryzyko operacyjne; transakcje faktoringowe; ryzyko nadużycia; ryzyko kredytowe; obroty faktoringowe

Nowadays, when the world economy is constantly faced with various types of crisis, stabilizing the financial situation of the company becomes one of the key factors of survival on the market. The factoring represents one of the ways of raising capital. It can be a solution to the problems associated with the liquidity of entrepreneurs who have solid business partners in the form of debtors or having their own supply chains. It should be noted that the factoring may be accompanied by financial abuse. Therefore, the solution of that problem is a practical model of the proposed IT system, used to classify sets of factor’s customers’ transactions. For these models set of parameters need to be defined in order to classify factoring transactions. These models can be implemented in the IT system, which will facilitate their widespread use in practice. Presented mechanizms will allow the classification of factoring customers’ transactions, including any misclassification. They also provide an opportunity to observe changes in the analyses results conducted at intervals of time. Subsequently, on their basis, the system will be able to present changes of selected indicators for the selected customer. // Problematyka faktoringu z roku na rok staje się coraz istotniejsza, ze względu na rozpowszechnianie się tej formy finansowania działalności przedsiębiorstw. Zaletą książki jest kompleksowe ujęcie zagadnień dotyczących faktoringu i procedury ograniczania ryzyka operacyjnego w transakcjach faktoringowych. Opisano mechanizmy funkcjonowania faktoringu i ryzyka z nim związanego, zaproponowano metody klasyfikacji transakcji faktoringowych, a także sposoby przetwarzania tych transakcji. Treści zawarte w publikacji mogą okazać się szczególnie przydatne pracownikom firm, które świadczą usługi faktoringowe, projektantom systemów informatycznych i studentom szkół ekonomicznych.

Hidden Health Crisis. Health Inequalities and Disaggregated Data

Hidden Health Crisis. Health Inequalities and Disaggregated Data

Author(s): Author Not Specified / Language(s): English

Keywords: inequalities in health-care; health-care for Roma;

This report identifies differences between Roma and non-Roma in access to health and in health outcomes, through the collection of disaggregated data in households across Romania in 2013. Some of the differences which emerge are extreme – Roma live on average 16 years less, are more susceptible to serious medical conditions, and are less likely to have access to medical attention or be able to afford the costs of medicines when compared with the rest of Romania’s population. The European Roma Rights Centre has undertaken this research to highlight a key problem in health initiatives for Roma across Europe – a lack of data. Through the lens of health inequality, the report highlights the need for all states to collect and publish disaggregated data in order to measure all inequalities between groups within the state and the effectiveness of any measures taken to address existing inequalities. There is a clear need for disaggregated data in order to demonstrate the scope of discrimination Roma face and to develop and implement targeted policy measures to address this situation.

English Literature Advancing Through History 1. Old English (Anglo-Saxon) and Medieval Periods

English Literature Advancing Through History 1. Old English (Anglo-Saxon) and Medieval Periods

Author(s): Petru Golban / Language(s): English

Keywords: English Literature;Anglo-Saxon literature;Medieval literature;

It appears that literary work possesses eternal temporal validity due to its autonomous aesthetic value, whereas criticism provides points of view having temporary and transitory significance. Despite such claims, the vector of methodology in our series of books, dealing with the history of English literature, relies on Viktor Shklovsky, T. S. Eliot, Mikhail Bakhtin, and especially Yuri Tynyanov, whose main reasoning would be that literature is a system of dominant, central and peripheral, marginalized elements – to us, “tradition” (centre) versus “innovation” (margin) engaged in a “battle” for supremacy, demarginalization, and the right to form a new literary system – and the development or historical advancement of literature is the substitution of systems. Roman Jakobson and French structuralism, on the whole, later Linda Hutcheon, with her “system” and “constant”, and Bran Nicol with the “dominant”, to say nothing about Itamar Even-Zohar and his theory of polysystem, to a certain extent Julia Kristeva, and even Homi Bhabha – as well as our humble contribution, by means of the books in the present series, we would like to believe – maintain Tynyanov’s line of thinking and concepts alive, which have developed and emerged nowadays more like a kind of “neo-formalism”.

UNDP - HUMAN DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2012 – REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA. European Aspirations and Human Development of the Republic of Moldova

UNDP - HUMAN DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2012 – REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA. European Aspirations and Human Development of the Republic of Moldova

Author(s): Valeriu Prohniţchi,Ion Osoianu,Ana Popa,Adrian Lupuşor,Rustam Romaniuc / Language(s): English

The European integration aspirations of the country cannot be seen outside the current development context. Th e report examines the main obstacles and opportunities, placing them in a wider context of the political, economic and social transformations the country is going through. Like any social process, European integration cannot have a linear trajectory and is not a one-way street. Th e process must be seen as a multidimensional one. It does not bring benefits and advantages alone. In addition to the efforts of politicians or technocrats, it requires eff orts from the entire society - shifts in mindsets and attitudes by every Moldovan, and obviously an unparalleled communication within and cohesion of the society. I believe this should be the recipe for success. As such, the report does not only provide solutions and relevant policy recommendations for decision makers, but also is meant to offer a venue for discussions., I am certain it will generate fascinating and constructive debates at both national and local levels on the complexity of European integration and inclusive and sustainable human development.

Implementation of the EU-Moldova Action Plan

Author(s): Igor Boţan,Alexandru Gamanjii,Iurie Gotişan,Corneliu Gurin,Alex Oprunenco,Ana Popa,Valeriu Prohniţchi / Language(s): Romanian

Keywords: Moslova-EU-Partnership;

The implementation of PAUEM represented, with certainty, an effort to modernize the Republic of Moldova. Whatever the level of estimation of the degree of implementation of PAUEM, it is a positive one, even if it is, at the same time, insufficient. In such circumstances, it is the honor of the exponents of the Moldovan political class, who signed the Declaration on the political partnership for achieving the objectives of European integration, to continue reforming and modernizing society in order to reach EU standards. The discrepancy between the level of modernization achieved by the Republic of Moldova and the minimum standards of the EU requires that the Moldovan political forces redo their agendas, emphasizing not so much doctrinal subtleties, but the urgent need to overcome handicaps. From this point of view, the primary imperative of the democratic political struggle should be reduced to the competition to optimize the speed and costs of overcoming them, another goal worthy of the citizens' attention being simply missing.

The investment attractiveness of the regions of the Republic of Moldova

Atractivitatea investiţională a regiunilor din Republica Moldova

The purpose of this study is to analyze the investment phenomenon in the regions of the Republic of Moldova (let's specify that by the term "region" in this document we generally mean the districts, the municipalities, the autonomous territorial unit Gagauzia, as well as the development regions North, Center and South). In the first chapter of this study, an analysis of the evolution and current economic status of the regions of the Republic of Moldova is carried out. We also analyze the evolution of investments in these regions and, based on statistical data, we try to identify the key factors that attract or repel investments at the regional level. // The second chapter includes the rating of the investment performance of the regions of Moldova, a rating that the authors intend to update once every two years. The investment performance rating of the regions is based on the estimation of the current investment performance indicators, the investment dynamics in the period 2003-2008, the stability of investment flows in the same period, as well as the healthy diversification of investments in different sectors of the local economy. // Chapter three is focused on the analysis of the policy framework that influences the attraction and intensification of investments at the regional level. It begins with a brief exposition of those major developments in regional politics and decentralization that are relevant from the perspective of attracting investments. // Chapter three is focused on the analysis of the policy framework that influences the attraction and intensification of investments at the regional level.

Author(s): Tomáš Janík / Language(s): Czech

Keywords: education; lessons; pedagogy;

This book is an introduction to the field of education. It focuses on both the general as well as the academic public. Education can be found anywhere, where a person offers a helping hand to another one. It grows from the interpersonal solicitude and is expressed in helping another human being at work. Its essential tool is “agogia” – leading or accompanying others – initially children (paidos). The proclamation “Everything for pedagogy, education, school, curriculum, teaching, learning
