Among the threats to the internal security environment, due to the associated risks, can be identified the economic activities that take place in the western part of the Black Sea coast: maritime transport, exploitation of resources in the maritime economic zone, economic objectives located in the coastal zone and so on. The paper identifies the risk of marine pollution with oil or other hazardous substances / goods, as a possible threat, with major economic, social, political and environmental implications. From this perspective, the paper emphasizes the need to identify solutions that increase the capacity to respond and intervene in order to counter threats and ensure resilience. The paper identifies a specialized tool, integrated in an innovative scientific approach, to support the authorities in managing the risk of marine oil pollution in the Romanian maritime area through modeling and simulation.

Abstract The authors of the present scientific approach highlight some innovative elements concerning the modernization of practical-applicative educational activities related to shooting sessions carried out by cadets in the Poplaca shooting range. To this end, aspects concerning the design of a software necessary for the remote control of the range, the construction of a functional model of the range at a simplified scale, as well as the practical realization of a technological product, such as a mobile target with the related hardware elements are presented in detail. The implementation (validation and testing) of the proposed solutions aimed at flexibility and at increasing the quality of educational standards related to shooting sessions in the cadet training range are also discussed.

Abstract In the context of the last turbulent three years, the energy industry in Romania had to face additional problems, due to the liberalization of the energy market. Despite pursuing profit as the immediate goal of a company, obtaining and maintaining the financial equilibrium becomes more and more important for the survival and the development of a company. The existence and maintenance of a positive Net Treasury over several successive years reflects the success of the company, proofing a good strategic position in relation to its competitors. Its lack is a permanent source of risks for the enterprise, of which long-term persistence can be considered a symptom of the risk of bankruptcy.

Abstract In an armed conflict the respect for international humanitarian law is the essential element to reduce its destructive effects. The application of international humanitarian law is, however, not always taken into account by states and members of the armed forces. When this obligation is seriously violated, the international community, through the UN, must intervene to restore international peace and security. Unfortunately, current armed conflicts have proven that this system is not effective, especially when it has to be activated against a permanent veto-wielding member of the Security Council, such as Russia. To make this system effective and to make such a state to apply correctly international humanitarian law, the UN must be reformed. But all these reform proposals do not take into account the efficiency of the measures in Chapter VII of the Charter and the strengthening of international authority.

Abstract This paper is the result of the Military Gender Studies project. The aim of the project is to analyze the dynamics of gender perspectives in some military institutions in Europe, namely the Military Academy, Lisbon, Portugal, the University of Turin, Italy, “Vasil Levski” National Military University, Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria and “Nicolae Bălcescu” Land Forces Academy of Sibiu. The project started with the application of a questionnaire to military students and this paper will present part of the results obtained only in “Nicolae Bălcescu” Land Forces Academy of Sibiu, after analyzing the discrimination dimension.

Abstract The principles of equality and non-discrimination are the foundation of the system of protection of human rights, enshrined in every domestic and international instrument. As a visible symbol of national unity for the achievement of defence and security prerogatives, the armed forces can act as a positive force. By successfully implementing inclusive models and integrating recommendations on the fundamental rights and freedoms of military personnel, the armed forces must ensure societal linguistic, cultural, ethnic and gender-specific respect. In this way, the armed forces achieve group cohesion and achieve the common goal of achieving national defence.

Abstract In the accounting profession, continuous professional development and lifelong learning are essential if we consider the increasingly advanced demands of internal and external users of financial and accounting information. It is certain that professionals who do not have and do not constantly update their necessary general and specialized knowledge will no longer find their place in an increasingly competitive market. The paper highlights, based on bibliographic resources, the fact that national and international professional bodies implement training and professional development programs in accordance with the “International Education Standards” issued by the “International Accounting Education Standards Board”, an independent organization within the “International Federation of Accountants”. Using the selective research, we analyzed the interest of accounting professionals to develop professionally considering the need for continuous training in the conditions where accounting information is indispensable in the decision making process and the financial – accounting field is one that is constantly changing.

Abstract Cybersecurity leaders are not adequately developed to guide the re-engineering of quality customer service (QCS) workflows, designed with automation and AI, that interrelate with people through customers' perceptions. Realizing re-engineering processes should be a team effort with well-versed leadership and stakeholders guiding the successful design through a follow-up process. Leaders must shape compelling and straightforward needs to learn and teach employees and chat boxes indispensable customer service skills demonstrating patience, self-discipline, flexibility, and resourcefulness in communication with irritated customers or difficult circumstances. Whether the analysis, design, development, and implementation struggles are vacuums in cybersecurity knowledge, skill, and abilities or a dearth of budget and resource limits, creating thorough QSC workflows and training requires time and purpose. This knowledge must be proactively, not reactively built. QSC re-engineering epitomizes a shift from reactionary behaviors to proactively preparing a well-defined collection of intends, activities, and aims delineating how organizations will contend through products and services. This article should benefit respondents absorbed in the success of updating and implementing QCS actions and workflows, practitioners who guide direct customer services initiatives, enterprise governance strategists, QCS and machine learning trainers, and learners who want to know more about QCS swathed in cybersecurity.

Abstract The great achievement of the times we live in is the fact that free access to information is guaranteed by law, but it is still the law that allows it to be restricted in certain situations. Thus, the subject addressed in the paper presented below is to highlight the facilities of text editors, in particular Word, as data protection tools, on the basis of a state in which the security culture is being formed. In the elaboration of the paper, we constantly pursued a synergy of theory with current practice on the chosen subject, demonstrating some of the facilities that the Microsoft Word text processor makes available to all users.

Abstract In general, the service life of a system is determined by its technical characteristics, the nature and magnitude of the stresses to which parts are subjected and the operating, operation and maintenance conditions. For this reason, the article aims to outline the key issues that highlight the factors influencing the service life of infantry weapons and how they do so. The essential elements are pointed out and the influence of each factor in increasing service life is presented, first by component sub-assemblies and then for the armament as a whole.
