STUDY ON THE RISK MANAGEMENT IN BANKING INSTITUTIONS
No full textRisk is a key factor for businesses, because you cannot get profit from any activity without risk. Since banking risks are a source of unpredicted expenses, their proper management might stabilize revenues, having the role of shock absorber. At the same time, strengthening the value of banking shares can only be achieved through real communication with the financial markets and the implementation of adequate programmes of banking risk management. The paper analyzes, for the beginning, a series of general aspects regarding risk and banking risk management. Then, we present the conclusions resulting from the quantitative research descriptive type which had as objective the analysis of knowing the measures that have to be taken in the banking management for a better management of risks that might cause bankruptcy and opinions about the NBR responsibilities to monitor and control the banks in the system.risk, management, bank
The other pandemic: how global leaders have failed to counter the spread of fake news and conspiracy theories about Covid-19
No full textThe spread of fake news and conspiracy theories has been a key concern during the Covid-19 outbreak. Drawing on survey research in Romania, Alina Bârgăoanu and Loredana Radu explain that the inability of global leaders to tackle the spread of false narratives illustrates the shift toward a so called ‘G-Zero world’, in which there is a growing vacuum in global governance
Macroeconomic determinants of agricultural preferential investment credit in Poland
No full textIn the paper the impact of macroeconomic determinants on the number and value of agricultural investment preferential credits in Poland is examined. This kinds of determinants are of an exogenous character and they cannot be controlled by individual farm. They are related to economic growth, price level changes, monetary policy, inflation, changes in foreign trade conditions. The econometric analysis showed that macroeconomic environment influenced farmers’ credit decisions at number and value of taken credits. The statistically significant variables in the case of these measures were the index of price relations of sold agricultural products to goods and services purchased by private farms (“price gap”), interest rate of central bank and real interest rate paid by farmers. Somewhat surprisingly, neither rate of GDP growth nor real effective exchange rate affected the scope of credits. In the case of GDP rate, the result can suggest that farmers expectations does not depend on current phase of business cycle. The reason of luck the influence of terms of foreign exchange can be explained partly by relatively low share of agricultural products in foreign trade turnover.preferential credit, farmers, macroeconomic determinants, Agricultural Finance,
Alina Ashbrook letter to the Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association, October 19, 1914
No full textAlina Ashbrook, a resident of Mingo Junction, Ohio, sent this letter to the Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association on October 19, 1914, to request campaigning materials for her town. She had visited Columbus and had heard about advertising balloons which would be used to endorse women's suffrage, and wanted to display them in Mingo Junction as well.
The Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association was formed in 1912, after the Ohio Constitutional Convention elected to bring to a vote the question of removing the words "white male" from the state constitution with regard to voting rights. Headquartered in the Chamber of Commerce building in Columbus, Ohio, the organization put out regular publications, organized public speeches and meetings, distributed literature and held parades in support of the suffrage movement. Women's suffrage in Ohio was defeated in a special election in 1912 and again in 1914 and 1916 before a resolution narrowly passed in 1917 allowing municipal voting by women in Columbus. In 1920, the 19th Amendment passed, extending the vote to women and prohibiting state and federal government from denying suffrage on the basis of sex

Force of Nature: Alina Scholtz and the Empowerment of Women on Mid-Century Landscape Design
No full textTo answer the question of women’s empowerment in mid-century landscape architecture, this essay will focus on the legacy of the “mother founder”1 of Polish landscape architecture, Alina Scholtz admitted for her immense independence and involvement at work.Scholtz was a designer and educator, serving as a professor of landscape architecture at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences. Her diverse portfolio ranged from palace gardens to housing estates and playgrounds. Her realisations were changeable in time, as a living matter of plants, which are led by the sun and water, create an architectural mass and systems of components in the urban landscape.From the beginning, landscape architecture, similarly to interior design, was treated as a “decorative” addition to “prime” architecture.2 Women dominated the discipline. Over the course of her career, Scholtz has worked with many aspiring women architects, landscape architects and urban planners whose names are unknown. Alina Scholtz was an exception to the rule. She was the leader of the landscape architecture team strongly feminised - in the „Zieleń” („Greenery”) studio at the Biuro Odbudowy Stolicy (BOS)3. She made major contributions to the International Federation of Landscape Architects4 and the SARP5 conferences, promoting the value of greenery designs in reconstructing cities after WWII and advocating Poland’s opinions on the subject on a global scale.The methodology will include an analysis of the documents belonging to archives of the BOS in Warsaw, the Landscape Architecture department, archives of the Museum of Architecture in Wrocław, archives of the Frederyk Chopin Museum in Żelazowa Wola and National Archive in Warsaw, Otwock section, an interview with the Centrala Group, Małgorzata Kuciewicz and Simone De Iacobis, who were responsible for the exhibition on Alina Scholtz in Warsaw, in 2022, and study of photographs, official correspondence as well as letters to the Scholtz family and drawings and publications related to the subject.1 Czerniewska-Andryszczyk, Klara, Ewa Perlińska-Kobierzyńska, Natalia Budnik, Małgorzata Kuciewicz, Simone De Iacobis.

The Impact of LDL Cholesterol, HDL Cholesterol, Triglycerides, and Vitamin D on Short-Term Implant Survival Rate: A Prospective Observational Study
No full textBackground/Objectives: Dental implant success is influenced by a range of systemic and local factors. Emerging evidence suggests that metabolic markers such as lipid profiles and vitamin D levels may play a role in osseointegration and implant survival. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, triglycerides, and vitamin D levels on the short-term survival rate of dental implants. Materials and Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted on patients receiving dental implants. Preoperative serum levels of LDL, HDL, triglycerides, and vitamin D were recorded. A total of 556 conical, platform-switching implants were placed in 166 patients, smokers and no smokers with mean age 48 years ± 4.7. Implant survival was evaluated from 14 to 21 days after placement, at 6- and at a 12-month follow-up. Spearman’s rank correlation was performed to assess potential correlations between the abovementioned systemic factors and implant loss. Results: Out of 556 implants, 13 (2.34%) were lost from 14 to 21 days after placement, a further two (0.35%) were lost after 6 months after surgery and a further eight (1.44%) were lost 12 months after placement. No significant correlation was found between HDL levels, cholesterol levels, triglyceride levels and implant loss. Spearman’s correlation analysis revealed a strong negative correlation between vitamin D levels and implant loss with no statistical significance. Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study, no statistically significant associations were found between lipid profile markers or vitamin D levels and early dental implant loss. Further large-scale and long-term studies are warranted to validate these findings and better understand the interplay between systemic biochemical markers and implant survival rate
