<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Since the last elections in the United States, France, and other nations, fake news has become a tool to manipulate voters. This creation of fake news creates a problem that ripples through an entire society creating division. However, the media has not scrutinized enough on data misuse. Daily it appears that there are breaches causing millions of users to have their personal information taken, exposed, and sold on the Dark Web in exchange of encrypted currencies. Recently, news has surfaced of major social media sites allowing emails to be read without user consent. These issues bring upon concern for the misuse of data and more importantly, how can this be used for information warfare and the exploitation of targeted groups through the use of the Internet. It is essential that organizations continuously review current data policies to ensure that they do not become victims of information warfare.</abstract>

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">This article brings into discussion the current state of security culture in Romania as well as the impact that the development of security education has in the training of young people who are socially responsible and aware of the importance of internalizing the basic concepts in ensuring individual and national security. The analysis continues with success factors to be pursued in public-private partnerships as a means of promoting education and security culture among young people, along with identifying recommendations for their development and improvement. Security education represents a pillar for developing a strong security culture. Therefore, increasing the security awareness among the population, especially of the young people enrolled in various educational stages, must become a priority on the strategic agendas.This paper analyzes the steps performed so far in Romania and looks into the benefits such a strategy could bring to cybersecurity, especially by developing a framework for sustainable partnerships in the security field.</abstract>

Security Awareness in Romania – Security Culture and Social Responsibility Development Pillar

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">This study aimed at investigating significant differences in the level of intercultural competence of students before attending an internship of international mobility by the intermediary of the Erasmus Plus program, depending on their field of study. The three areas of study that imply the students attending the research are: military, exact science and humanities. The research was processed by a questionnaire measuring the level of intercultural competence, the items being structured on the three dimensions of intercultural competence: knowledge, attitudes and abilities. The results indicate that significant differences exist only at the level of the attitude’s component, the highest average being registered for the field of exact sciences.</abstract>

The Differences between the Military Field and the Civilian Fields in Terms of Intercultural Competence

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">The new requirements regarding the professionalization of the Romanian armed forces derived from our country’s becoming a NATO and EU member state. The challenges of the 21st century battlefield demand the development not only of certain soldierly skills, but also of the abilities to properly function in a multicultural context. The cadets of the military academies are the future officers that will operate in the international theatres of operations. Being engaged in multinational formations and having to work side by side with foreign military personnel, our cadets need to have a good command of the English language, as well as to acquire and develop the intercultural skills necessary to appropriately function in a multicultural environment. Thus, a shift in the curricula of the Romanian military academies has been made, from an emphasis on the transmission of knowledge content to a focus on relating language to the target culture and developing cadets’ linguistic and intercultural competences. This paper suggests some methods and techniques that have proven efficient when teaching basic military English in the Land Forces Academy.</abstract>

In order to quantify decisional effects and establish strategies, an important role is played by financial accounting that encompasses all activities through which to record, quantify, process, analyse and communicate user-specific information on which to make optimal decisions to achieve the objectives set under performance conditions. Starting from these considerations, this paper highlights, through the study of the specialized literature, the possibilities of capitalizing on the information provided by the financial accounting, but also identifies the limitations that appear in this process. It also highlights how accounting information is found in the organization’s functions. The selective research was conducted on a sample of 301 companies and has as main objective the analysis of the opportunity to provide information through financial accounting.</abstract>

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">The present study integrates into the complex scientific approach of investigating the legal protection of the rights that result from the intellectual creation in the Romanian objective law. In this regard, it analyzes the main evolutionary benchmarks of the protection of intellectual creation from ancient times to the modern era, aiming to highlight the elements of social nature that were the basis of the emergence and development of copyright. At the same time, the scientific approach addresses the issue of the emergence of copyright by combining, through the method of multi-disciplinary scientific research, the legal, social and historical sciences. In the accomplishment of the present scientific approach we used the following scientific research methods: the historical method, the logical method, the deductive-inductive method and the comparative method.</abstract>

This paper presents a study of each of the individual components that comprise both the transmitter and the receiver. The design tasks for each component are described as well as the factors to be put into consideration. The simulations of the various components are done using microwave office and Proteus 7 professional. The results obtained for the receiver are satisfactory and fully demonstrated the functioning of the receiver.</abstract>

Instead of devices connected to the Internet as in Internet of Things (IoT), human bodies can be connected to a network, with the potential to be controlled and monitored remotely. The Internet of bodies is from the author’s point of view the future of technology, but this future is not so far away.</abstract>

From Human Body Digitization to Internet of Bodies toward a New Dimension of Military Operations

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">The paper presents a numerical method of dynamic analysis of a wheel that moves along an inclined plane under the action of a motor torque. The wheel is regarded as a rigid solid body in plane motion that rolls and in the same time slides along a surface which is inclined relative to the horizontal with a certain angle of known value. Therefore, the wheel may be considered as a solid rigid body having two degrees of freedom. The movement of the wheel takes place under the action of a motor torque, active forces and link forces that are unknown. For this reason, link forces must be removed from the differential equations describing the movement of the wheel. The paper also presents a method of removing the link forces from the differential equations of motion.</abstract>

The patterns can differ from each other a lot, and even the samples can be significantly different from the templates. The Artificial Neural Networks can be applied as a universal approximator to recognize the patterns with more flexibility. However the topology of the networks determines the processing time and complexity of the hardware of the physical environments. The Genetic Algorithms can be used with success in optimization problems like in this situation, the topology of the neural network is more optimal if we apply the Genetic Algorithms. This study introduce an algorithm in which a tailor made algorithm correcting the topology to enhance the effectiveness of the process.</abstract>
