The foundation of real-world economics: what every student needs to know
In: Ikonomičeska misăl, Band 68, Heft 3, S. 343-350
ISSN: 2815-3189
The third edition of The Foundations of Real-World Economics updates the two earlier editions published by Routledge, including new chapters on the rise of populism, hidden racism, and the Covid-19 pandemic. The earlier editions were translated into five languages. Within the vast economic literature, the book opens alternative research horizons, providing an innovative look at economic theory which advocates for a major revision of seemingly immutable mainstream economics. The author, Professor Emeritus at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (Germany) John Komlos, demonstrates the weaknesses of conventional economic theory, emphasising the need for a paradigmatic change to what he calls Humanistic Economics, in which people and quality of life count instead of focusing primarily on money, income, or GDP and, moreover, where the economy works for everyone, instead of a select few. Offering the reader another perspective on economics and advancing an alternative approach to standard textbooks, he explains why this paradigm shift should focus on the creation of a better society, the improvement of people's lives, and increased life satisfaction.
The Dark Side of Touristification Phenomenon. A Short Point of View
In: Studia Universitatis Babeş-Bolyai. Geographia, Band 67, Heft 1-2, S. 47-55
ISSN: 2065-9571
"The Dark Side of Touristification Phenomenon – A Short Point of View. Tourism is considered to be a socio-economic development engine worldwide, its importance being undeniable at international scale. Because tourism represents such a notorious activity and global phenomenon, new concepts inevitably arise that need further understanding and clarification. One of them is touristification. Browsing through related scientific literature, one can see that touristification concept is a complex process mainly used with a negative connotation to describe tourism's impact for a specific area and on a specific group of people, their daily activities on one hand, and on the environment on other hand. Touristification is given many meanings by scholars, from an "empty" concept to an element of analysis without an unanimously accepted definition, this short point of view trying to shed a little bit of light on the matter highlighting the negative impacts of this phenomenon that manifests in touristic hot-spots worldwide. Keywords: touristification, tourism impacts, touristic hot-spots, sustainability, environment. "
The Reflexive Approach to Truth in Human Geography: Lessons from Professor Virgil-Achiles Gârbacea
In: Studia Universitatis Babeş-Bolyai. Geographia, Band 68, Heft 1, S. 93-106
ISSN: 2065-9571
"This paper presents an Interview with the renowned Professor Virgil-Achiles GÂRBACEA, one of the very few visionaries who have understood and embraced the new research paradigms recognized at the international level within the scientific spectrum of Geography. Designed within a matrix of semi-open collaboration, the research questions aimed to explore the professor's perspective on the nature, perception, and construction of truth and weaknesses within human geography and within the specific context of Romania. The professor emphasized the importance of a critical and reflexive approach to the concept of truth in the field of human geography. He highlighted that truth and its weaknesses in this context are influenced by multiple social, cultural, and political variables. Furthermore, the professor acknowledged that human geography is a constantly evolving discipline, and understanding truth in this field requires a dynamic perspective and adaptability to societal changes. We underscore that the issue of truth and its weaknesses in this field is complex and fluid, and comprehending it necessitates a critical, contextualized, and open approach to dialogue. Additionally, a reflexive approach to the social and political construction of truth within the specific context of Romania is essential. Keywords: truth, weakness, human geography, critical approach, knowledge, Romania"
Seeking Economic Balance: Spatial Analysis of the Interaction Between Smart Specialisation and Diversification in Romanian Mountain Areas
In: Studia Universitatis Babeş-Bolyai. Geographia, Band 68, Heft 2, S. 37-57
ISSN: 2065-9571
Seeking Economic Balance: Spatial Analysis of the Interaction Between Smart Specialisation and Diversification in Romanian Mountain Areas. This research article delves into the intricate relationship between smart specialisation and economic diversification within the unique context of Romanian mountain regions. As regions characterized by their geographical isolation and distinctive socioeconomic challenges, mountain areas in Romania stand as vital territories where balanced economic development is crucial. In this study, we employ a comprehensive spatial analysis to explore how the European Union's concept of "smart specialisation" and the imperative for diversification intersect within these mountainous areas. The investigation combines both qualitative and quantitative methods, utilizing spatial data and GIS techniques. Findings reveal the intricate interplay between smart specialisation and diversification efforts, highlighting the necessity for adaptable policies that respond to the unique challenges and opportunities present in Romanian mountain areas. The study also offers recommendations for policymakers, emphasizing the importance of custom-tailored approaches that consider the geographic, social, and economic idiosyncrasies of these regions. Ultimately, this research article contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex relationship between regional development strategies and the specific needs of mountainous territories. By shedding light on the practical implications of smart specialisation and diversification in Romanian mountain areas, it offers valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners working towards sustainable and balanced economic growth in similar regions worldwide.

Plasma-wall interaction studies within the EUROfusion consortium: Progress on plasma-facing components development and qualification
This work has been carried out within the framework of the EUROfusion Consortium and has received funding from the Euratom research and training programme 2014-2018 under grant agreement No 633053. The views and opinions expressed herein do not necessarily reflect those of the European Commission. ; The provision of a particle and power exhaust solution which is compatible with first-wall components and edge-plasma conditions is a key area of present-day fusion research and mandatory for a successful operation of ITER and DEMO. The work package plasma-facing components (WP PFC) within the European fusion programme complements with laboratory experiments, i.e. in linear plasma devices, electron and ion beam loading facilities, the studies performed in toroidally confined magnetic devices, such as JET, ASDEX Upgrade, WEST etc. The connection of both groups is done via common physics and engineering studies, including the qualification and specification of plasma-facing components, and by modelling codes that simulate edge-plasma conditions and the plasma-material interaction as well as the study of fundamental processes. WP PFC addresses these critical points in order to ensure reliable and efficient use of conventional, solid PFCs in ITER (Be and W) and DEMO (W and steel) with respect to heat-load capabilities (transient and steady-state heat and particle loads), lifetime estimates (erosion, material mixing and surface morphology), and safety aspects (fuel retention, fuel removal, material migration and dust formation) particularly for quasi-steady-state conditions. Alternative scenarios and concepts (liquid Sn or Li as PFCs) for DEMO are developed and tested in the event that the conventional solution turns out to not be functional. Here, we present an overview of the activities with an emphasis on a few key results: (i) the observed synergistic effects in particle and heat loading of ITER-grade W with the available set of exposition devices on material properties such as roughness, ductility and microstructure; (ii) the progress in understanding of fuel retention, diffusion and outgassing in different W-based materials, including the impact of damage and impurities like N; and (iii), the preferential sputtering of Fe in EUROFER steel providing an in situ W surface and a potential first-wall solution for DEMO. ; European Commission; Consortium for Ocean Leadership 633053; Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Latvia as the Center of Excellence has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 Framework Programme H2020-WIDESPREAD-01-2016-2017-TeamingPhase2 under grant agreement No. 739508, project CAMART²
