The given article contains reflections in the field of human resources management, in particular the effects of communication, the priorities and the ways of providing effective feedback, which makes a considerable contribution to improving the quality assurance of the educational system in the Republic of Moldova, including the higher education system. Important emphasis is placed on the formation of the tradition of obtaining effective feedback from employees, colleagues, partners by managers at all management levels. What is the power of feedback? What can effective feedback do and enable? However, the elucidation of the impact resulting from the implementation of this theory in the professional life of each team and its promotion are essential in order to ensure quality in the management system in education. The objective of the study is to highlight the importance and necessity of applying feedback in the activity process, but not just any feedback, but feedback that generates essential improvements in the results of team/collective/institutional activity and raises the managerial culture to a new organizational level.

The study examines from a historical-psychological perspective the suffering faced by the victims of the Spanish Civil War in emotional, social, economic and living conditions generally incompatible with the simplest exercise of recovery from trauma. The victims, unlike the victors, who used and abused their right to mourn and honour their fallen, were forced to swallow their tears and grief, to hide or deny their ideas, to be ashamed of their ideological condition, to impose an iron silence on themselves; in short, to drown their own memory and with it any possibility of mourning or recovering from the horrors of war.

Die Anzahl der Flugbewegungen ist insbesondere im vergangenen Jahrzehnt rapide angestiegen. Diese steigende Auslastung ist in vielerlei Hinsicht spürbar und birgt auch negative Aspekte. Immer mehr Unannehmlichkeiten treten auf und schränken den Passagierverkehr beträchtlich ein. Zum Schutz der Passagiere wurde im Jahr 2004 die gemeinsame Fluggastrechte-VO beschlossen, welche im darauffolgenden Jahr in Kraft trat. Tatsächlich zeigte sich aber in der Praxis, dass die VO nicht die Abhilfe im gewünschten Ausmaß schaffen konnte. Vor allem planwidrige Lücken im VO-Text, sowie ungenaue Haftungsregelungen führten dazu, dass die Fluggastrechte-VO mittlerweile zu den umstrittensten Rechtsakten der EU zählt. 2013 erstattete die KOM schließlich Reformvorschläge zur Novellierung der VO. In erster Linie wollte man damit bestehende Rechtsunsicherheiten beseitigen und die Fluggastinteressen besser wahren. Zudem sollte die Rsp des EuGH entsprechend implementiert werden. Da auf die Reformvorschläge mit heftiger Kritik reagiert wurde, legte man diese vorerst wieder auf Eis und die damit verbundenen Probleme blieben ungelöst. Erst mit Beginn der Covid-19-Pandemie in Europa im Frühjahr 2020 und mit den damit einhergehenden massenhaften Flugstornierungen kam die praktische Bedeutung der Passagierrechte wieder zum Vorschein. Vor allem die Corona Voucher, mit denen man versuchte, eine wirtschaftliche Lösung während der Pandemie zu finden, stießen im Hinblick auf die Fluggastrechte auf Kritik. Die nachfolgende Arbeit gewährt einen Einblick in die von der KOM erstatteten Reformvorschläge, zeigt wie die EuGH-Rsp dazu steht und erläutert die Fluggastrechte auch unter Bezugnahme auf die Covid-19-Pandemie sowie die Konformität der Corona Voucher im Hinblick darauf. ; eingereicht von Alexandra Duca ; Universität Linz, Diplomarbeit, 2021 ; (VLID)5836664

India is a market presenting unique opportunities, at global level, due to its potentialities and growth rates, even with its complexities. Politically wise, 2019 will be an important year because of the general election which will confirm the current Modi Government or open new scenarios. During its mandate, Modi's Government triggered import reforms and economic development programmes aimed at modernizing the country, attracting foreign direct investments and boosting foreign trade. Under the framework of the rediscovered political and economic bilateral cooperation between the country and Italy, sanctioned by the historical meeting between the former Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni and the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi occurred in 2016 after a difficult diplomatic period, today more than ever is important for Italian companies to enter the vibrant Indian market and exploit the opportunities deriving from it. Starting from the business sectors defined as strategical for the bilateral trade between the two countries, this paper is aimed at analysing the internationalization process of the "Bel paese" companies in the big Asian country. Which are the features of the Indian market and which are the opportunities arising from the new governmental liberal imprint and from the country's economic development? Which are the possible entry modes available for foreign companies? How Italian companies can exploit the opportunities derived by the reborn diplomatic alliance and survive the difficult bureaucratic Indian legal environment? Which one is today the role and the importance of Indian internationalization consulting companies helping foreign organizations with the establishment of an Indian entity and the required legal compliances? What are the future trends and prospects Italian companies should invest in? By studying two different business cases of internationalization related to two of the relevant business sectors defined strategical by both countries' Government and adopting two different entry mode, the paper will try to answer those questions. This paper is the result of a study programme developed in the framework of the international collaborations between the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia and the Amity University of Noida. Besides the research conducted through the study of secondary data, the drafting of this paper enjoyed the assistance of the Italian origin consulting company established in India Octagona India Pvt. Ltd. The companies in object of the cases have been contacted and provided their contributions through interviews and data provision.

Padom Zapadnog Rimskog Carstva 476. poslije Kr. te ulaskom Gota u Rim, Europa se raspala na mnogo tada neorganiziranih, nepovezanih entiteta koji su započinjali izgradnju vlastitoga kulturnog i političkog identiteta. Kako je vrijeme prolazilo, tako se sve više gubio jedan unificirani mjerni sustav (rekli bismo: antički SI sustav mjera) te sve ono kulturno i tehnološko naslijeđe koje je Rim nakon sebe ostavio. Mjerni sustav uvijek je potreban da bi bilo koji vid društvene aktivnosti uopće opstao. S obzirom da je područje rimskog utjecaja bilo ogromno, a da je na njemu nastalo mnogo novih entiteta, nisu se uspjeli zadržati već uvriježeni mjerni sustavi nego su se počeli stvarati i upotrebljavati lokalni sustavi. Uporaba lokalnih mjernih sustava bila je katkad toliko rascjepkana da su gradovi koji su jedni drugima vidjeli zidine imali potpuno drugačije definirane odnose unutar mjernih sustava. Opisivanje svih mjernih jedinica tijekom srednjeg vijeka zahtijevalo bi puno vremena. Ovdje će biti opisano sve ono što se odnosi na mjerenje mase, što izravno ili neizravno utječe na točnost odnosno bolje rečeno vjerodostojnost izmjera, poglavito pri obavljanju razmjene novca u trgovanju na područjima s različitim mjernim sustavima. Te pojave često su iskorištavali ovlašteni mjenjači novca koji su na "zakonit" način potkradali drugu stranu.
