Karyological divergence of a Moldovan population of Rana dalmatina Bonaparte, 1838
No full textAbstract. A karyological study conducted by both conventional and banding staining methods (Ag-NOR-, CMA3, and C-banding) evidenced a peculiar heterochromatin pattern on chromosomes of Moldovan specimens of the agile frog, Rana dalmatina. As is normal for all agile frogs, the Moldovan population presented 2n = 26 chromosomes, with NOR loci on the short arms of the third chromosome pair, but differed in showing heavy centromeric, CMA3 positive C-bands on the seventh chromosome pair, and light centromeric, DAPI positive C-bands on five chromosome pairs. In contrast, Moldovan specimens showed no significant difference in two segments of the 16S mitochondrial rRNA gene and in the S1 satellite DNA sequence and organization, in comparison with the GenBank deposited 16S rDNA and S1 DNA satellite sequences of R. dalmatina.
Molecular similarity and chromosomal differences between agile frogs from Moldovan and extra-Moldovan populations are discussed

Is Moldova Ready to Grow? Assessment of Post-crisis Policies (1999-2000)
No full textThe efforts to stabilize the Moldovan economy after the crisis of 1998 have been largely successful. The country avoided international default as current account position radically improved, cooperation with international financial institutions was re-established and a significant primary fiscal surplus was achieved. As a result, the exchange rate was stabilised and inflation substantially reduced. Moreover, several important structural reforms were implemented and privatisation of key-industries pursued with much more determination than previously. However, only economic growth would bring real solutions to the persistent problems of external and internal imbalances of the Moldovan economy and would allow the country to face its heavy debt burden in the future. Unfortunately, prospects for sustainable growth remain weak, as the most important issues that constrain private entrepreneurship and investments have not been effectively tackled. These issues include: lack of territorial integrity, ineffective legal system, widespread corruption and rent seeking. It is unlikely that these problems can be solved until the Moldovan parliament assumes full ownership of reform process.Moldova, post-crisis

Journalistic higher education in moldovan SSR: historical aspects
No full textThe higher journalism education in the Moldovan Soviet Socialist Republic (MSSR) was initiated in the ’60s of the last
century, as a specialty at the Philological Faculty in Chisinau State University (KSU). It was more created and developed
as a process of ideological education than as a process of professional training of the workforce. Despite this, the higher
journalism education of that period played an important role in the specifi cs’ formation of not only the Moldovan modern
didactic process in journalism, but also in the modern Moldovan journalism per general.

THE IMAGE OF THE CUCKOO IN THE MOLDOVAN SONG FOLKLORE
No full textStudying the ornithological morphology images of the traditional culture of different nations is one of the directions of modern ethnomusicology. In this article the author considers the image of the cuckoo in the Moldovan folklore tradition on the example of the analysis of a number of song texts. As material for research, were used the samples of song folklore, collected during field expedition work, presented in a comparative analysis of the poetic texts with the famous songs from the earlier published folklore collections (collections by Z. Tkaci, C. Rusnac, and A. Kriminsky). As a result, there is established the prevalence of motifs of loneliness, disorder of life connected with the image of this bird. The author sees this peculiarity classifying the cuckoo to a masculine gender (in the Romanian language), but not to woman’s (in the Russian language)

Effect of Experimental Bleaching Gels With Enzymes on Composite and Enamel
No full textIntroduction and aims: Potential secondary or toxic effects of peroxide-based whitening gels have driven the search for alternative methods that use natural compounds with gentle action on tooth enamel that provide remineralizing benefits. Methods: This study introduces four innovative experimental whitening gels (GC, G1, G3, G4) formulated with enzymes (Bromelaine and Papaine) and natural extracts, along with SiO2. The efficacy of these gels was tested on nanohybrid dental composite (EsCOM100, Spident Company) and dental enamel stained with coffee and natural juice (Tedi) over 10 days. The structural changes in samples before and after bleaching were examined using scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Additionally, cytotoxicity tests were conducted on the gels using mesenchymal stem cells from human dental pulp (dMSC) and human keratinocytes (HaCaT). Antibacterial activity was assessed on five strains (Streptococcus mutans. Porphyromonas gingivalis; Enterococcus faecalis; Escherichia coli; Staphylococcus aureus). Results: Coffee and natural juice stains significantly increase the roughness of composite and enamel surfaces by forming deposits. The enzymatic action of bromelain and papain effectively disorganizes and removes these clusters, significantly reducing surface roughness. Conclusion: Notably, the gel containing papain and nanostructured SiO2 proved to be the most effective in removing coffee stains from both composite surfaces and enamel. On the other hand, the gel with bromelain and nanostructured SiO2 was the most efficient in removing natural juice stains. The absence of SiO2 in the experimental gels slightly decreased the enzymes’ effectiveness in stain removal. The antibacterial activity observed in the experimental gels is attributed solely to the enzymatic compounds
