Abstract:

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common pathological conditions. The positive prediction for UTI of clinical symptoms oscillates around 0.5 even lower in the case of urethral syndrome in women. An appreciable number of UTIs evolve asymptomatically, and the child under the age of 2 years the symptoms of UTI are nonspecific. The total number of germs in the urine is determined and expressed in UCF / ml. No colonies appeared after 18-24 hours of incubation, so the negative result was released (under 1000UCF / ml or under 103 CFU / ml).

Abstract:

This research aims to develop a new technology for the enrichment of butter with mint oil and mint oil which will improve its nutritional quality and may become one of the consumer’s preferences. Also mint has an aromatic, characteristic odor with stinking, with a pungent, refreshing taste,, and mint oil contains numerous minerals and nutrients including iron, manganese, magnesium, calcium, folic acid, potassium and copper, vitamin A and C. The butter obtained with the addition of mint and mint oil has been subjected to a comparative test with a sample of blank butter and analyzed for a period of 30 days, analyzing changes in sensory and physico-chemical.

Abstract:

Sustainability and digitalization both require major transitions in our world and the way we imagine them. Digitalization is considered to be the engine that alters sustainability. However, it is not yet known whether and to what extent this digital transformation facilitates or hinders the development of a more sustainable world. The aim of this paper is to shed light on the implications of digitalization for sustainable development in Romania and to provide answers to the following questions: how does digitalization affect the most important pillars of sustainability? How can digital technology help to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals in the next period? These key issues are of immediate practical relevance and therefore need to be addressed by researchers and decision-makers alike. In order to achieve this objective, this research examines the relationship between digitalization and sustainable development, in the specific case of Romania, and examines how digital performance affects the main components of sustainable development, pursued on the basis of the following sustainable development objectives: non-poverty, good health and well-being, gender equality, decent work and economic growth, At the same time, it examines the most important measures for evaluating the level of digitalization of countries (more specifically, the Digital Economy and Society Index DESI methodology) and sustainable development at the macro-economic level (through the Sustainable Development Goals Index SDGI components).

Abstract:

The whole world is constantly changing. We are going through a period marked by challenges that will directly influence humanity. The phenomenon of globalization has come with benefits but also with negative side effects, creating uncertainties and inequalities in social, economic, political and environmental. The great crisis of 2008-2009 had a major negative impact on the economies of the world, and it is still difficult to recover the losses caused. At present, there is an increased emphasis on social and environmental issues, aiming as much as possible towards a sustainable society. With a decade left, the world is working to meet the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. But the challenge is huge, given the current difficult geopolitical and geoeconomic context. The requirements for sustainable development need excellence in innovation. This paper aims to present Romania’s current position on the European map of innovation, as well as perspectives that can influence the future evolution of the national economy in the context of sustainable development.
