Density, diversity and distribution of the Oribatid mites (acari, oribatida) in some cultivated soils from north-eastern Romania
(“Ion Ionescu de la Brad” University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Iaşi, 2008) Ivan, Otilia
The present study analyzes the results of some researches carried out in different agro-ecosystems - perennial and annual crops – from the North Eastern part of Romania, on the oribatid mites, a representative group of the edaphic mesofauna. Both faunistic and coenological analysis were performed. In the lucerne crops the global average abundance has closed values related to the natural lawns in this zone, but the number of species and the specific diversity are lower. The annual cultures offer less favourable conditions for the oribatid mites, an exception being the soy crop, where both quantitative and qualitative parameters have higher values, comparatively with the maize or oat cultures. The results acquired in two different years (2005 and 2007) showed that the drought phenomenon has obvious effects on the oribatid coenoses in agro-ecosystems, comparatively with the natural ecosystems.

World nutrition and demographic growth
(“Ion Ionescu de la Brad” University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Iaşi, 2008) Petroman, Cornelia; Petroman, I.; Marin, Diana
There are relations of organic interdependence between nutrition and demographic growth, which appear directly or though other factors. For this reason, people have established on a global scale certain demo-alimentary interferences between demographic growth and economic growth, nutrition and natural increase in population, health, food consumption and work productivity, nutrition and mean life expectancy. The degree of ensuring food security expressed through economic development acts on the typologies of demographic growth, on human behaviour, fertility, number of births and deaths, and these in their turn give a certain impulse in a negative or positive way to the economic and social development. After analysing the data, one comes to the conclusions that more than 1&5 of world population presents a high demographic growth rhythm, of over 2.2%, while having only 4.7% of the World National Gross Product. One can notice that, the higher the general world fertility rate, the lower the development stage, and the nutrition level respectively. The countries which have the lowest income per person (543-577 US dollars) have the highest fertility (4-5 children). The countries with the lowest development level, and consequently the lowest nutrition level, have the lowest life expectancy, under 55, while in the countries where the national gross product is over 20000 US dollars, life expectancy is over 73.

Study and research on the development and promotion of rural tourism and agrotourism in Braşov
(“Ion Ionescu de la Brad” University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Iaşi, 2008) Honțuș, Adelaida-Cristina
In the contemporary world, tourism is undoubtedly one of the dominant phenomena, one of the most profitable segments in the world’s economy through its remarkable dynamics, multiple motivations, and high diversity. In Romania, rural tourism has always been practised, although spontaneously, sporadically, casually and especially in unorganized forms. Its actual manifestation was recorded in the 1920s-30s, as accommodation provided to the occasional visitors of some rural settlements. Starting with the year 1990, the interest in rural tourism is revived. Numerous associations and bodies are established whose objectives are to promote and develop rural tourism. Among them, the Romanian Federation for Mountain Development (1990) aims at promoting, under any form, the inhabitants of the mountains. Including by promoting, organizing, and developing agrotourism. The Federation was followed by the Romanian Agency for Agrotourism (1995), aimed at introducing Romanian agrotourism into the international system, and the National Association for Ecological and Cultural Rural Tourism (ANTREC) – 1994, member of the European Federation of Rural (EUROGITES), etc.

Agricultura ecologică în România, diagnostic şi perspective
(“Ion Ionescu de la Brad” University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Iaşi, 2008) Grigore, A.A.; Abargaonitei, S.V.; Nancu, D.V.; Ghiculescu, R.
The ecological agriculture (or sustainable agriculture) is a modern term that refers to the ability of a farm to produce food indefinitely, without causing irreversible damage to ecosystem health. Two key issues are biophysical (the long-term effects of various practices on soil properties and processes essential for crop productivity) and socio-economic (the long-term ability of farmers to obtain inputs and manage resources such as labor). In sustainable agriculture the producer doesn’t use sinthetised pesticides and fertilizers nor growth regulators and stimulators. Also the use of genetically modified organisms is prohibited.By studing the data provided in this article we can conclude that sustainable agriculture in Romania is an opportunity for the producers and the production of organic food has a constant growth over the last years. Also the opportunities to export these goods are high and beneficial to the local farmers and the environment.

The melliferous potential quantification
(“Ion Ionescu de la Brad” University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Iaşi, 2008) Ștefan, Gavril; Bodescu, Dan
The present research correspond the implementation of the project no 51-058/2007 called „The elaboration and implementation of bee-keeping exploitation models viable in the european economic context” (APIMODEL). After the preliminary calculations regarding the bee families herds for which the researched area can assure sufficient food resources and an adequate production (tab. 5.2.) it resulted a number of aprox. 73 thousands families in the East area and aprox. 29 thousands in the West area, but during the determination of the variations of the melliferous potential it results an efective with 19.4% smaller for the East area and 11.6% smaller in the West area of Romania, the total number reaching aprox. 93.1 thousands bee families. From the report between the number of potential families and the number of existent families it can be determined the degree of utilization of the melliferous given being the necessary correction it results a degree of utilization of the melliferous potential of 53.4% on the entire researched perimeter, 48.2% in the East area and 58.6% in the West area of Romania.

Consecinţele manifestării divergenţelor structurale între economiile statelor ex-comuniste şi cele din zona Euro
(“Ion Ionescu de la Brad” University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Iaşi, 2008) Ichim, V.L.
The structure of the national economy is the main factor in the economic development of the national labour productivity and the external competitiveness, and at the same time it influences the labour force migration phenomenon which has long term negative consequences on the countries void of this force. The ex-communist countries should accelerate systemic transformation within the economy and stimulate the growth of the national economy competitiveness by supporting the investment process, investments being at the same time the only viable solution for inflation and current account cutting down. All these imply keeping the monetary policy, currency flow and financial autonomy and even the promotion of significant budgetary deficits (above 3% of GDP), deficits which can be determined by the transformations within the economy. So, it is highly recommended that the Stability and Growth Pact should be modified so that the budgetary deficit be analyzed through the effect produced by the general level of prices in a national economy (qualitative versus quantitative analysis).

Diagnoza exploataţiilor agricole din România
(“Ion Ionescu de la Brad” University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Iaşi, 2008) Dincu, Ana-Mariana; Sâmbotin, L.; Mateoc Sîrb, Nicoleta; Găvruța, A.; Mănescu, Camelia
The actual situation of the Romanian agriculture is characterized through multiple socio-economical problems, crumbling of the land in over 40 millions lots and the existence of numerous nonviable farms from the economical point of view. The structural modifications that took place in Romanian agriculture in 1990-2006 period. Having as effect the movement into private property of over 96% from the agricultural lands and the formation of little and medium exploitations are showing the fact that the reform process is far to be closed. In this study analyze of the individual agricultural exploitations on the national levels. There are made appreciations on the medium dimension of the private agricultural exploitation and was considered the useful agricultural surface – UAS and was calculated the medium dimension in every size class.The economical dimension of the agricultural exploitations stays under the influence of two important factors: territorially dimension and unitary efficiency level. In the year 2005, in Romania were 4.256.152 agricultural exploitations from which 4.237.889 were individual exploitations, respectively 99,6% and the units with juridical personality represented only 0,4 %.

Evaluarea proiectelor de dezvoltare regională în condiţii de incertitudine utilizând elemente fuzzy
(“Ion Ionescu de la Brad” University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Iaşi, 2008) Alecu, Ciprian-Ionel; Haller, Alina-Petronela
The impact of any national or regional strategy is not limited to a single domain. The strategy can cause qualitative and quantitative changes upon many of the elements adjoining that particular field and upon the system itself. At the same time, any particular decision must be a systemic one, integrated to medium or long term-oriented objectivesA rigurous evaluation is neded of both the possibility to access such funds depending on the available resources and the general development objectives. The current decision theorie have abandoned the idea that the decision process could work with certainties. In order to make an acurate decision the decident needs both complete theoretical knowledge and empirical data on the state of environment. From this point of view the practical use of fuzzy numbers allow the development of the traditional methods for decion-substantiating, adjusting them through the process of rendering fuzzy the information. In this paper the author provides a mathematic model for the analysis and evaluation of projects using fuzzy numbers in order to reduce the level of uncertainty inherent to the process of evaluation.

Contribuţia factorului natural şi a deciziei de valorificare eficientă a materiilor prime şi resurselor la creşterea şi dezvoltarea economică
(“Ion Ionescu de la Brad” University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Iaşi, 2008) Haller, Alina-Petronela; Alecu, Ciprian-Ionel
In the last few years the issue of turning to good account raw materials and resources as efficiently as possibly and the issue of environment protection have become the most important factors of economic growth and development because of the effects of the process of global heating. The economic growth and development represents a desiderate for any country, developed or still emerging. The progress has always been and it is still based on the waste of natural resources and raw materials. If since not so long ago the warning signals regarding environment and the exhaustion of natural resources have been ignored, at present mankind is more and more aware of the seriousness of the consequences that some progress factors have at both economic and social level. As shown in the paper, in time the main factors of economic growth and development have varied and multiplied. Some became the causes of the two processes and then became their consequences. Some economists focused on intrinsic factors, while others payed attention to the extrinsic ones and formulated theories more or less valid, providing „recepies” for economic growth and development. The begining of the third millennium has changed the paradigma. Mankind has to face problems that no one could possibly ignore. In this context we are not wrong ranking first the natural factor and resources, exhaustible and therefore so precious, within the context of the analyses regarding economic growth and development. When the only unexhaustible resource is the human being, because of demographic continuity, the progress factors should be ordered in a different way from that in which they have been ordered so far, changing the hierarchy and giving a strong warning as regards the role played by environment as well as natural resources to economic growth and development at both micro- and macroeconomic levels.

Metode de reducere a incertitudinii din agricultură prin modelarea strategică a contextului socio-politic
(“Ion Ionescu de la Brad” University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Iaşi, 2008) Alecu, Ciprian-Ionel
The management of decision-making under risk and uncertainty has been relatively recently shaped through the efforts of the specialists in the fields of insurance and finance. Agriculture needs a particular approach not only because of the natural specificity of each area, but also due to the various ways of implementing it. Many times the practical solutions were found much before their scientific substantiation to be provided because of the unicity and of the low level of generalization enjoyed by a particular decision-making instance. This managerial approach is more and more needed under the current circumstances when national administration, foreign governments and other external factors play a decisive role in defining both the present and future agricultural context. Agriculture cannot survive in the absence of a well substantiated theory for both medium and long term. These instruments help to the improvement and adjustment of the economic, political, and social environment to the sustainable development of Romanian agriculture

Entrepreneurship education – innovative way of curricular restructuring
(“Ion Ionescu de la Brad” University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Iaşi, 2008) Soare, E.
The paper brings into discussion the concept of entrepreneurship education, presenting its impact on school organization. The author proposes an innovative approach, presenting, at the same time, several action directions which argue the fact that entrepreneurship education can become a new paradigm of postmodern education. The content elements are meant to be subject of reflection in order to identify and capitalize the present opportunities in the educational field. The opportunities of realizing the activities proposed by this new model of entrepreneurship education will contribute to the development of a new profile of students’ and teachers’ personality, in accordance with the challenges of today’s society and the educational ideal of the Romanian society. We propose that entrepreneurship education must be seen as an innovative way of projecting, organizing and realizing the school curriculum; it presupposes the realization of a certain type of personality, with an unique configuration of traits, attitudes and behaviors, model called entrepreneurship personality. In our vision, entrepreneurship education constitutes itself in a new paradigm of education which has the strength to restructure the entire school curriculum by capitalizing, at a formal level, non-formal and informal contexts. This way of projecting postmodern education refers to two social categories which constitute themselves in two target-groups for entrepreneurship education. They are represented by students, as well as teachers. The aim of entrepreneurship education is developing entrepreneurs both among students and teachers. In order for the teachers to become an entrepreneurship model desirable to be followed by students, they have to become entrepreneurs themselves. The personality model for both target-groups can find itself under more hypostases on a social plan.

The foreign direct investments on the rural areas
(“Ion Ionescu de la Brad” University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Iaşi, 2008) Popa, Ana
The statistical data show that the agricultural and rural areas are less attractive for the foreign investors, even in the developed economies. The dilemma is that the national and international strategies for rural development should include actions in order to respect the foreign investors and transnational corporations’ decisions, but in the same time they should solve the rural development social problems. The national and international policy with full regard for the right of each country to determine its own national policies and priorities is required to maximize the contribution of foreign investments to the goals of rural development and to ensure that the activities of foreign investors developing countries, in particular, by transnational agro-industry corporations, are not inconsistent with and do not impede the accomplishment of overall economic and social development objectives. This paper presents three priorities. First of all, it should be accelerated the development of national expertise in order to evaluate proposals for foreign investment in agriculture and other activities affecting rural development and work jointly with potential investors in formulating investment programs and projects that are compatible with national needs, priorities and objectives. Second, it should be oriented the current United Nations efforts related to transnational corporations toward the formulation of a set of criteria, adjusted where necessary for the special circumstances of each country. Third, Romania should eliminate the major obstacles, as regards land tenure and policy. The aim consists on assessing the operations of foreign investors with a view to increase their favorable impact on rural development

The new updates on the European common agricultural policy and their impact on the rural development investments
(“Ion Ionescu de la Brad” University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Iaşi, 2008) Popa, Ana; Giurcă Vasilescu, Laura
Two worldwide processes are putting pressure more and more on the rural development policy at the international level lately. First of all, the trends in climate change and the competition between agriculture and other sectors for the natural resources exacerbate competition and conflicts over access to land, water and biological resources and accentuate extreme poverty and hunger. Second, the rural policy will continue to play a vital role in helping all the countries to achieve the wider objectives of sustainable growth, job creation and competitiveness. This research is based on the news adjustments of the European Common Agricultural Policy -CAP - face to mitigate the effects of the new process: the rising global food prices. In brief, the news updates on the rural development policy are all about freeing the farmers to meet growing demand and respond quickly to what the market is telling them. Therefore, this paper investigates and analyzes the financial impact of these news updates, because the rural development needs to be organized and financial encouraged. The quintessence: the rural development, particularly in the developing countries, needs to be accompanied by the allocation of legal rights and adequate and stronger financial resources to local stakeholders. The two developed economies created one American model and one European model for the rural development. For Romania, the problem is that the rural development policy should include action to flexible financial support, but also the foreign investments and transnational corporations, because these are very important in the market economy.

Promoting agroalimentary foodstuff through packaging
(“Ion Ionescu de la Brad” University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Iaşi, 2008) Popescu, Gabriela; Paunchici, Iasmina
Promotional packaging consists of bonus packs, offers included inside the packaging, besides the packaging or special packaging. Bonus packs and special offers and packaging make products more attractive to consumers. Basic bonus promotions like bonus packs, special offers and reusable packaging can be strong incentives for inconsistent users who are influenced by what the bonuses add to a product. They prove very useful for generating impulse purchases that increase the sales amount. In addition, they can increase the long-term value of a brand in certain circumstances. according to the circumstances and the way they are used, bonuses can increase the sales among a large number of consumers and sometimes the future sales.

Food consumption trends in Romania
(“Ion Ionescu de la Brad” University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Iaşi, 2008) Popescu, Gabriela
Balanced food consumption requires a satisfactory income. The analysis of the farm food networks cannot be carried out without the thorough study of food consumption. Under market internationalisation conditions, consumers turn towards those products that distinguish themselves through their quality. Many Romanians have become more and more aware of what they eat and choose natural, ecological foods often, although their price is higher. In the past years, numerous cases of diseases caused by unhealthy food products have been reported in Romania. One of the major issues in the food sector is to reduce costs and product prices. Fast food products represent another trend in the Romanian food consumption, as consumers have very little time to prepare food at home.

(“Ion Ionescu de la Brad” University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Iaşi, 2008) Ruge, Maria; Bacter, Ramona-Vasilica; Chereji, I.; Drobotă, Benedicta
Bihor county subscies itself in the cathegory of counties that have an elevated touristic potential having, 16.8 % of the total surface of the Apuseni mountains. After ANTREC (2000) was foundet, in 2001, in the mountain area of the Bihor County, in the ANTREC network there were only 4 clasified agrotouristic lodges in Remeţi, Câmpeni, Fânaţe and Băiţa towns. In 2005. the number of touristic and agrotouristic lodges, associated with ANTREC , came up to 20, having a total capacity of 66 rooms, with 145 places, as in the 20 that were available in 2001.The number of the lodges grew but the accomodation offert is still low every lodge having only 7.2 places/lodge, thus the income is low and makes part of the marginal revenue. A possibility of developing tourism and agrotourism in the area of our study is given by the geographical area were the lodges are situated near touristic spas, where the demand for accomodation of tourists is much higher compared to the offert, from where the possibilitie to have a high accomodation rate and at the same time, to increase the income. The touristic and agrotouristic offer in the mountain area of Bihor County is rather varried and adresses to : 1. ethnographic elements and local traditional manifestation (traditionl ocupations, traditional technique, folcloric manifestations); 2. historic and architecture monuments (castles, fortresses, archeological sites, churches, forts); 3. hidrotechnical constructions with touristic unction (dams and artificial lakes). The mai touristic and agrotouristic atractions in the „Valea Iadului – Bihor County” area are the following : Leşu artificial lake, Iadolina waterfall, the water cave of Bulz, Faţa Apei cave, the water cave from Valea Leşului and surrundings (Stâna de Vale, Meziad cave, Vântului cave, Vadu Crişului cave, Crişului gorges). Towards the end a study case is going to be presented at the Valea Izvorului agrotouristic lodge, Bihor County.
