    Rețeaua de biblioteci tehnice ale feroviarilor din Republica Moldova: punct de referință în dezvoltarea profesională a specialiștilor din domeniul transportului feroviar
    (2025) Zasmenco, Tamara; Kneazeva, Nadejda
    Articolul oglindește evoluția, structura și contribuția rețelei de biblioteci tehnico-științifice ale feroviarilor din Republica Moldova, cu accent pe rolul acestora în formarea profesională continuă și informarea tehnologică a specialiștilor din domeniul feroviar. Pornind de la originile istorice ale acestor instituții în perioada interbelică și până în prezent, studiul evidențiază modul în care bibliotecile s-au adaptat transformărilor sociale, economice și tehnologice, devenind veritabile centre de documentare, educație și cultură profesională. Se analizează colecțiile dezvoltate, tipul utilizatorilor, activitățile educative și culturale desfășurate, precum și eforturile de digitalizare și modernizare a serviciilor. Printr-o abordare istorică și funcțională, articolul conturează imaginea bibliotecilor tehnico-științifice ca puncte de sprijin esențiale pentru dezvoltarea intelectuală a sectorului feroviar moldovenesc. This article reflects the evolution, structure and contribution of the network of technical and scientific libraries of the railroad workers in the Republic of Moldova, with an emphasis on library role in the continuous professional education and technological information of rail specialists. Starting from origins of these institutions in the interwar period and up to now, the study highlights the way in which libraries have adapted to social, economic and technological transformations, becoming reliable centers of documentation, education and professional culture. The collections are analysed, as well as the typology of users, set of educational and cultural activities, and the applied efforts to digitize and modernize services. Via this historical and functional approach, this study outlines the image of technical and scientific libraries as essential support points for intellectual infrastructure of the Moldovan railway sector.

    Brevetele de invenție - securitate şi rezilienţă în era Inteligenţei Artificiale
    (CEP UPSC, 2025) Lupu, Elena; Coslet, Ecaterina
    Patents play a central role, providing inventors with exclusive rights, encouraging investment in research and development and ensuring a competitive advantage in the market. The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has intensified these challenges and opportunities, raising questions about the legal status of AI-generated creations and redefining the human role in the creative process. International organizations such as WIPO and national institutions such as AGEPI contribute to adapting intellectual property protection systems to new technological realities. In addition to the benefits it offers, Artificial Intelligence also brings significant risks, such as cyberattacks on unpublished documentation or the difficulty of preventing algorithmic counterfeiting. In addition, the current patent system is challenged to redefine its fundamental concepts, such as the notion of "inventor" or the criteria of "novelty" and "inventive activity", in order to integrate inventions made by Artificial Intelligence. It remains essential that these systems become more resilient and adaptable, preserving their function of legal protection and stimulating progress in an era dominated by emerging technologies.

    Vizibilitatea academică în era digitală: importanța accesului deschis la informație
    (CEP UPSC, 2025) Gorceag, Silvia
    In the digital age, academic visibility has become an important aspect of scientific activity, and open access to information plays a central role in increasing the impact of research. The concept of open access refers to the free and unrestricted availability of scientific works online, without financial or legal barriers. This publishing model facilitates the dissemination of knowledge and allows for broader accessibility to scientific findings. Research papers are more frequently accessed, used, and cited, leading to a higher H-index and, consequently, greater scientific recognition. Open access publishing contributes to the acceleration of innovation and the development of more collaborative academic networks, with well-structured information available to anyone, anywhere. Moreover, open access supports transparency and global collaboration across interdisciplinary fields, enabling researchers from around the world to build upon and expand previous research. Open access is essential for maximizing the impact of scientific output and enhancing academic visibility in the digital era, promoting a more accessible, transparent, and collaborative science.

    Oportunităţi de valorificare turistică a reţelei hidrografice a Republicii Moldova
    (INCE, 2015) Betivu, Danaia; Betivu, Ala
    The rivers always ocuped a central place in the human history since the emergence of the first civilizations. Providing the water, an indispensable element of the life, alluvial plains for agriculture, the source for the acquiring food and the navigation support, the rivers have contributed to the development of the first modern human settlements and the urban centers. The technological progress, the land and air transport development and the food industry diminished the role of inland waterway resources in the social development, often, representing the impediments: its cause the fragmentation of arable land and urban territories, etc. The modern society, especially the western, has realized the tourists and landscape value of inland waterways areas, and started a process of requalification the rivers and their integration in urban environments, giving them a new function: support and resource for tourism activities. This article aims to identify opportunities for tourism valorization of Moldova’s river network by analyzing the international practices and experiences.

    Propuneri pentru dezvoltarea reţelei de autostrăzi din România pe principiul creşterii accesibilităţii geografice a teritoriului
    (INCE, 2015) Boroiu, Alexandru; Iacob-Ridzi, Florin-Tiberiu
    Fundamentarea deciziilor la nivel national cu privire la dezvoltarea infrastrucuturii rutiere se bazează pe argumente de natură tehnică, iar între acestea cele mai relevante sunt cele ce demonstrează utilitatea investiţiilor din punct de vedere al accesibilităţii geografice. Pentru a evalua accesibilitatea actuală a teritoriului României pe cale rutieră s-a formalizat reţeaua rutieră naţională cu cele 41 de reşedinţe de judeţ drept noduri şi s-a calculat accesibilitatea geografică simplă, pe baza distanţei minime dintre noduri şi a timpului de deplasare aferent, şi accesibilitatea geografică complexă, luând în calcul timpul de deplasare şi populaţia nodului de origine a deplasării. Rezultatele obţinute susţin necesitatea dezvoltării reţelei rutiere naţionale în viitorul imediat prin realizarea unei reţele de autostrăzi care să depăşească nivelul actual, când indicele de nodalitate este minim – există un singur nod, capitala Bucureşti – şi prin punerea în operă a propunerii déjà existente – traversarea rutieră a Dunării prin construirea unui pod (sau tunel) în zona Galaţi. National decision making on the development of road infrastructure is based on technical arguments, and among these the most relevant are those that demonstrate the usefulness of investments in terms of geographical accessibility. To evaluate the current accessibility of the Romanian territory on the roads, the national road network was formalized with the 41 county seats as nodes and was calculated the simple geographical accessibility, based on the minimum distance between nodes and associated travel time, and the complex geographical accessibility, taking into account the travel time and the population of originar node. The results support the need to develop the national road network in the immediate future by creating a network of highways to exceed the current level when the node index is minimal - there is only one node, the capital of Bucharest - and put in motion already existing proposal - road crossing Danube by building a bridge (or tunnel) in the area Galaţi.
