Aspects of a Watermark Solution
No full textAlthough watermarking is a relatively new technology, there are many ways of applying it on an electronic data set with the purpose of ensuring copyright integrity and authenticity of the electronic data. But, bearing in mind the evolution of information technology and of communication, a watermark may be the target of several attacks which aim at its robustness, its form and even at its removal. In order to reduce these threats, this paper proposes a solution - digital watermarking completed by a hash function which has an important role in the authenticity of the content of a message and in the security of the transmission of this message through computer networks which are the main support of collaborative systems.Digital Watermarking, Hash Functions, Digital Information Security, Collaborative Systems

Liberalism and Conservatism in the Writings of Aurel C. Popovici
No full textIn our study we wanted to analyze how the Romanian political activist and ideologist Aurel C. Popovici (1863-1917) perceived liberalism and conservatism, two of the most important ideologies of the nineteenth century. For this purpose, we studied three of his main writings: Principiul de naţionalitate (The Nationality Principle), Statele Unite ale Austriei Mari (The United States of Great Austria) and Naţionalism sau democraţie: o critică a civilizaţiunii moderne (Nationalism or Democracy: a Critical Approach to Modern Civilization). We studied the way in which the renowned Banatian author perceived liberalism, but also the way he percieved several main principles of this ideology: the defense of liberty, the sovereignty of the people, representative government, the refusal of absolutism and pluralism. By analyzing these topics in Aurel C. Popovici’s writings, we identified several paradoxes of his thinking, which we tried to explain by appealing to other sources, like personal letters or memoirs belonging to friends or admirers.
Rezumat: În studiul nostru am dorit să analizăm modul în care activistul politic şi ideologul român Aurel C. Popovici (1863-1917) a perceput liberalismul şi conservatorismul, două dintre cele mai importante ideologii ale secolului al XIX-lea. Astfel, am studiat trei dintre principalele sale scrieri: Principiul de naţionalitate, Statele Unite ale Austriei Mari şi Naţionalism sau democraţie: o critică a civilizaţiilor moderne. Am studiat modul în care renumitul autor bănăţean a perceput liberalismul, dar şi modul în care a realizat mai multe principii importante ale acestei ideologii: apărarea libertăţii, suveranitatea poporului, guvernarea reprezentativă, refuzul absolutismului şi pluralismul. Analizând aceste subiecte în scrierile lui Aurel C. Popovici, am identificat mai multe paradoxuri ale gândirii sale, pe care am încercat să le explicăm apelând la alte surse, precum scrisori personale sau memorii aparţinând prietenilor sau admiratorilor.

Fabule
No full textHere are short original verse (?) fables by a fascinating author who spanned pre and post war Romania and apparently wrote a confessional essay before his death about submitting too much to Communist state direction of how he should write, with resulting dishonesty about his characters. As an introduction, he asks in a brief poem "Why compete with Aesop? Until now you have written only comedies." He answers "Because in every fable there is a touch of tragedy." I tried a few, even though the Romanian here seems highly idiomatic. Is the moral to his "Moral Fable" (4) something like "If she will not have sex with you, at least gossip and criticize"? "Meditative Fable" (9) seems to have a philosophical mouse praising both prudence and experience . . . from his place in the cat's stomach. "Measure your success" another philosopher proclaims "by the length of your nose" (10). This philosopher is an elephant. I'd love to read these in English, or else I wish I could read Romanian! These seem to be witty fables! This is our eighth book in Romanian. Not illustrated. 190 pages, with a closing T of C. 5" x 7¾".Language note: RomanianAurel Barang
Accelerated postoperative rehabilitation: the aeronautic model. Monograph by Adrian Belii
No full text“Fast-track surgery”, called later ”enhanced recovery after surgery”(ERAS) is a relatively new approach to the surgical patient and overall
postoperative period. For the first time, the ERAS concept was elaborated and presented by Henrik Kehlet et al. in 1997 [1]. The essence
of this concept is that a postoperative morbidity, which is not caused by the imperfect surgical technique, must be sought in the pathophysiological mechanism of the surgical stress. ERAS is based on two pylons: 1. Optimization of clinical pathways for surgical patients; 2.
Canceling unnecessary “traditional” treatments and implementation of evidence-based medicine principles instead of them.
So far, the ERAS concept has been tested by many teams from different countries on patients with various comorbidities and of different
age, who received various types of surgery. Quasi-unanimous conclusion was that the benefits of this approach were obvious: a significant
reduction in the length of hospital stay, reduced postoperative morbidity, accelerated patient’s return to homeostasis and cost reduction.
ERAS concept can be easily upgraded, reconfigured and/or adapted according to various parameters: patient’s profile, type of surgery or structure of health care system. In this context, the monograph of Dr. Adrian Belii “Accelerated Postoperative Rehabilitation: the
Aeronautic Model” [2] provides an original approach that improves and optimizes the perioperative management of elective surgical
patients, described by H. Kehlet.
From the beginning, I would like to mention the words “aeronautic model” in the title. In the past decade, hospitals tried to borrow
the organizational patterns of High Reliability Organizations from nonmedical fields, for example, aviation and nuclear industry. Thus,
by analogy the author analyzes functioning of an airport and hospital, where the aircraft is the patient, the crew - the medical team and
the flight from point A to point B – the perioperative management and recovery.
The monograph has 168 pages, contains 21 tables and 58 figures. The monograph consists of two parts: (1) medical and biological
aspects of the aeronautic model of accelerated postoperative rehabilitation and (2) medical management of the aeronautic model.
The first part of the monograph consists of six chapters and describes in terms of recent literature data and Dr. Belii’s personal research
results the most important aspects of an ERAS protocol. Thus, in the author’s opinion, the quality of postoperative pain management
is a particularly important component of “fast-track” surgery, which should rely on the following principles: self-assessment of the pain
intensity, pain anticipation and association of painkillers and analgesic techniques. The author also shows that modernization of anesthetic
practice shifting to computerized technology of drug delivery (target controlled infusion anesthesia) and new anesthetics provides a
better anesthesia management, better adaptation to surgical stress intensity and faster emergence from anesthesia with fewer incidents.
An interesting element of this monograph is the proposed ventilation weaning algorithm for the stage of the emergence from anesthesia.
In the future, this could be integrated in the software of recovery room ventilators. Testing of the weaning algorithm proved the possibility of
reducing the duration of lung ventilation by 40% in the patients that emerge from anesthesia. Other original ideas proposed by the author
are the terms “static” and “dynamic element” related with postoperative management. “Static element” is called a treatment which does not
modify in a fast and significant way biological parameters of a patient and usually has a supportive or preventive role. In contrast, “dynamic
element” is called a treatment that rapidly and significantly influences biological parameters of a patient, hence adequate monitoring of vital
signs is mandatory.
The second part of the monograph refers to cross-cutting issues, indispensable for modern perioperative care. It refers to risk management
modules and healthcare quality assurance, information flow and decision making mechanisms, optimization of the operating suite schedule
in a hospital and last but not least, to economic aspects of ERAS programs.
In conclusion, I would like to mention that Mr. Adrian Belii’s monograph “Accelerated Postoperative Rehabilitation: the Aeronautic
Model” is an original and scientifically valuable paper which I recommend to anyone interested
Analisis Penerapan Akuntansi Pada PT. Aurel Mandiri Sentosa
No full textThis research, which was conducted by the author at the company PT Aurel Mandiri Sentosa, aims to determine the suitability of the application of accounting in companies with generally accepted accounting principles. This research is qualitative research. The data taken are secondary and primary data with data collection techniques, namely interviews and documentation of data analysis techniques using descriptive methods. The result of this research is the recording of company transactions using the accrual basis. The Company does not pay attention to the time of acquisition of fixed assets and fixed assets whose useful lives have expired. The company also does not make reports on changes in capital, cash flow statements, and notes to financial statements. There is an error in the recording of land assets and there is an error in calculating the depreciation of fixed assets. The Company also does not provide allowance for doubtful accounts. So it can be concluded that PT Aurel Mandiri Sentosa has not fully implemented generally accepted accounting principles
Who Stole China's China? — The Legacy of Sir Aurel Stein
No full textThis thesis examines the historical legacy of Sir (Marc) Aurel Stein, an intrepid explorer,\ud
world-famous archaeologist, and prolific author. This thesis offers an explanation as to why a\ud
world-famous figure was all but ignored by historians and how the judgment of his fellow\ud
archaeologists and Orientalists, historians, and politicians led to his dwindling importance in\ud
historical memory. While active up to his death in Afghanistan in 1943, his most important (and famous) expeditions took place in Western China. Three of these four expeditions are discussed in the thesis, which examines Stein's impact on his fellow archaeologists, the perception of his\ud
activities at the time in the academic and popular presses, and his role in shaping the changing Chinese attitudes towards archaeology
A Fenomenologia do asco de Aurel Kolnai: contribuições para o esclarecimento fenomenológico dos afetos
No full textHistorically, the phenomenological movement was marked by a great variety of investigations directed to the elucidation of affectivity and of particular affective experiences. The first phenomenologists were responsible for a wide set of analyzes on the affective experiences. Many of these analyzes have been neglected and remain little discussed. Sharing the same conceptual and methodological positioning of these authors, we have Aurel Kolnai's work on the hostile feelings written in the 1930s. Thus, we aim to reconstitute Aurel Kolnai's phenomenological analysis of disgust present in his essay entitled "Disgust" from 1929. For this, we base ourselves on the systematic methodological procedures and criteria of the bibliographic research, starting from the analysis of the same text in two different translations. With this, we present a brief summary of the biographical and intellectual trajectory of the author and the different moments and specific analyzes contained in his essay, including: the delimitation of disgust and the possible points of view of analysis, the phenomenological analysis of anxiety and disgust, the kinds of physical and moral disgustingness, their relation to the senses, to life and death. We conclude that the phenomenological description of hostile feelings has utility and relevance for the scenario of fundamental debates related to the psychological related areas.Historicamente, o movimento fenomenológico esteve marcado por uma grande variedade de investigações dirigidas à elucidação da afetividade e de vivências afetivas particulares.

Compartilhando o mesmo posicionamento conceitual e metodológico desses autores, temos o trabalho de Aurel Kolnai sobre os sentimentos hostis, escritos na década de 1930. Sendo assim, objetivamos reconstituir a análise fenomenológica do asco de Aurel Kolnai presente em seu ensaio denominado "O Asco" de 1929. Para isso, nos baseamos nos critérios e procedimentos metodológicos sistemáticos da pesquisa bibliográfica, partindo da análise do mesmo texto em duas traduções distintas. Com isso, apresentamos um breve resumo da trajetória biográfica e intelectual do autor e os diferentes momentos e análises específicas contidas em seu ensaio, incluindo: a delimitação do asco e seus possíveis pontos de vista de análise, a análise fenomenológica da angústia e do asco, os tipos de asqueriosidade física e moral, sua relação com os sentidos, com a vida e a morte. Concluímos que a descrição fenomenológica dos sentimentos hostis possui utilidade e relevância para o cenário de debates fundamentais ligado ao campo psi.Históricamente, el movimiento fenomenológico estuvo marcado por una gran variedad de investigaciones dirigidas a la elucidación de la afectividad y de las experiencias afectivas particulares.
