Overlapping these natural elements, there have been engineering actions and urban planning – both, during colonial period and after Africa’s countries gained independence – influencing the access to this vital resources in a discriminatory manner. Climate changes doubled with the dynamic population trend on this continent are newcomers, influencing in a negatively way the possible evolution on the continent. Water commodification is another element hitting hard the poor in Africa; as wealthy parts of African cities are well connected to urban water pipes and facilities, poorer parts of the same city totally misses access to water facilities. The poorest people must buy bottled water to get through daily challenges, large part of their incomes being diverted to gaining access to water. The paper intends to bring to East-European audience the problems and challenges the most dynamic continent is going to face, and how can it influence the evolution there, and in other parts of the world, due to migration. Poor access to water, and when available its dubious quality, are other components of African water landscape with great medical consequences and costs at both personal and state level.","PeriodicalId":53245,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the University of Oradea Economic Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79960251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main goal of this research is to study the role of entrepreneurship in achieving sustainable development goals through conducting a qualitative method. Granger causality test was used for selected Eastern European countries (2006 – 2016), data were collected from Global Entrepreneur Monitor and World development indicators. The study concluded through Granger’s causality that entrepreneurship causes human development and therefore affects the economic and social dimensions of Sustainable Development. Entrepreneurship is one of the causes of economic growth, and the relationship between entrepreneurship and the extent to which environmental quality is achieved is moving from the environmental dimension to Entrepreneurship.","PeriodicalId":53245,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the University of Oradea Economic Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87614228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"THE NEXUS AMONG RENEWABLE ENERGY, R&D ACTIVITIES AND GENDER INEQUALITY: EVIDENCE FROM EASTERN EUROPE","authors":"Emiliano Colantonio, Alessandra Pennella, D. Badulescu, R. Simuț","doi":"10.47535/1991auoes31(1)003","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.47535/1991auoes31(1)003","url":null,"abstract":"The ecological transition process is of vital importance to modern economies. In the literature, little attention has been paid to the role that social factors can play in the diffusion of renewable energy. The paper aims to contribute to this debate by focusing on the connections between R&D activities, gender inequality and renewable energy. Specifically, many authors have underlined the positive influence that R&D activities can have on the ecological transition process, by favouring the diffusion of green innovations within the various economic sectors. On the other hand, some studies have shown that gender inequality can represent an obstacle towards the adoption of more sustainable consumption and production choices in the energy context. In our study we wanted to combine the two aspects: is it possible that a greater participation of women in R&D activities could have a positive impact on the diffusion of energy from renewable sources? To answer the question, we employ a panel vector autoregressive model in first differences to test complex dynamic relationships among renewable electricity production (as a proxy of the ecological transition), R&D expenditures (as a proxy for a country’s innovative capacity), and share of female researchers (as a proxy for gender equality in the sector), controlling for per capita income. The study concerns 9 Eastern European countries for the period 2000-2019. The results show that the R&D expenditure is positively related to the production of electricity from renewable sources. Moreover, increased employment of women in R&D activities seems to support the ecological transition process. Finally, an increase in R&D spending seems to ensure easier access for women in the research sector. Supporting R&D activities, however, may not be enough, since women participation in those activities does not show a path dependence. Furthermore, from the impulse response analysis, a shock exerted on the share of female researchers produces positive effects on the diffusion of renewable energy, but only for a short period. Policymakers should make constant efforts to favour the participation of women in R&D activities: the global energy transformation needs to be inclusive and women have to be part of it.","PeriodicalId":53245,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the University of Oradea Economic Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88229175","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vesa","doi":"10.47535/1991auoes31(1)025","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.47535/1991auoes31(1)025","url":null,"abstract":"In inventory and production decision problems, decision makers are interested to identify the optimal inventory and production level. In a certain decision environment, the optimal inventory level could be determined through traditional inventory methods and the optimal ptoduction level could be determined through linear programming algorithms. In an uncertain decision environment, the traditional methods and algorithms can not provide efficient and relevant solutions for these levels, due to the vague and changing parameters. In this case it is neccesary to develop new methods and models that can deal with vague variables and provide optimal levels. In this paper, the optimal inventory and production levels are determined through a single model that uses fuzzy linear programming. This new model is Fuzzy Optimistic-Reasonable-Pessimistic Inventory Model. It has three scenario: optimistic, reasonable and pessimistic, that are defined through triangular fuzzy numbers. In this way, decision makers can deal with vague parameters. These scenarios help managers to divide the Fuzzy ORP Model into three sub-models, that can be easily solved through traditional Simplex Algorithms. Each sub-model provides a crisp solution for each scenario. The solutions forms the final fuzzy optimal solution. The Fuzzy PRO Inventory Model helps managers to identify three optimal levels and to rank them according to their evaluations. This is useful, also, in predictions, where the decision makers should predict different scenarios for the production process. The limit of this model is the definition of the variables and scenarios. This model consider that all values for all variables and coefficients have the same definition: the inferior limit is related to the optimistic sceanrio, the peak is represents the reasonable limit and the superior limit is related to the pessimistic scenario. In real problem, the decision variables could have different definition than coefficients. The inferior limit of the cost is related to the optimistic scenario, but the superior limit of the production level can be related to the optimistic scenario. There are different representations for the scenarios.","PeriodicalId":53245,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the University of Oradea Economic Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81586437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stakeholders refer to groups of people affected by the success or failure of an organization, who include individuals, public groups, governmental and private organizations, institutions, and associations. Stakeholders such as parents, teachers, community leaders, civic organizations and students, should therefore be encouraged to get involved in the school, and participate in various programs that will improve the school and the students’ achievements. In the context of education, a skilled school principal will find ways to harness the interests and ability of different people to contribute to the educational institution, and create a school climate in which this can occur. It is important that the school administration involves stakeholders in the decision-making process, in order to improve the performance of the school. School performance and its success is affected also by the stakeholders’ capability to use efficiently human and material resources at their disposal for the school benefit. Google Scholar database was searched and papers published in the last 15 years were analysed. The review findings show that stakeholder’s participation can improve teaching and learning, efficiency in school management, raising motivation and commitment among staff, and foster open communication with various actors. In order to benefit the school, especially in a period characterized by accountability, competitive education market and limited government resources, the school principal must empower, provide information and train different stakeholders. The principal is the main actor capable to build bridges between all stakeholders, through provision of autonomy and support, in order to improve decision-making and implementation processes, designed to raise the quality of the school and the students.","PeriodicalId":53245,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the University of Oradea Economic Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78949598","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
