Abstract The article unfolds dialogue as the complex whole of human action and behaviour in the theory of New Science. The actual state of research in dialogue analysis seems to be a garden of a thousand flowers where scholars can pick out the flower they like. Can this be science? New Science is introduced as science of complexity which represents a new hierarchy of integrated components derived from the complex whole. The structure of dialogue as the complex whole allows us to describe and explain all pertinent components in one theory. The article briefly outlines the main components: action and grammar. New Science also means the end of unjustified assumptions which underlie most of the various current models of science and philosophy and calls for verification by neuro- and sociobiology.

Abstract This paper aims to analyse the actual state of research in the field of supply chain management and to identify eventual gaps of knowledge and potential research directions in the field concerned. The research has been accomplished using various bibliographical sources, books, scientific reports, internal reports and information material. This paper analyses different national and international studies in the field of supply chain management, converge to identify eventual differences concerning authors’ opinion, problems and research gaps. It has been found that the specialty literature analyses in general subjects such as supply chain management, supplier performance, suppliers’ selection and evaluation, suppliers’ development, performance management and do not take into consideration also the supply chain management performance, so that various gaps concerning the specialty literature in the field of supply chain management performance evaluation have been identified. It is thus proposed that these research results are disseminated with the aid of a knowledge transfer eLearning platform within the “Lucian Blaga” University of Sibiu. This platform allows university personnel and its students gain access to specific academic findings.

Introduction: Clinical research in the field of oncology is necessary to check the safety and effectiveness of potential treatment methods and translate innovative knowledge into measurable benefits for patients as well as to introduce innovative therapies for cancer treatment. In 2019, 18.1 million new cancer cases were diagnosed worldwide. Aim: The purpose of this study is to assess patients knowledge and awareness of the clinical trials they participate in, as well as the quality of treatment in the clinical trial compared to standard treatment. Material and methods: The authors anonymous questionnaire was used to assess the state of knowledge of patients. Seventy patients in clinical trials participated in the study, 87% of whom were women, and 13% were men. The patient’s knowledge was compared with the actual state of research in the chemotherapy department, and general questions about clinical trials were asked. Results and discussion: Most often, patients gained knowledge about clinical trials from the attending physician (37%). As many as 79% of study participants were satisfied with the informed consent procedure. The factor that most determined the participation in the clinical trial (36%) was access to innovative therapy not available in the national healthcare system. Every fourth participant in the study was unable to determine the phase of participation in clinical trials. Conclusions: Based on anonymous survey results, patients who participate in clinical trials know the clinical trials essential parts. The vast majority are satisfied with the informed consent process, the availability of innovative therapies, and a clinical trial phase.

Abstract. Managing multiple ecosystem services (ES) across forest landscape, constitute a growing field of research. It represents a key challenge that attempts to optimize the trade-offs among provisioning, supporting, regulating and cultural ES. Here, we review approaches and shortcomings on some anterior FES studies. Three main components are presented, 1) an overview of the current state of research, 2) a summary of main methods adopted 3) an identification of principal approaches' restrictions. Several conclusions emerge: most of the studies focus on a limited number of FES which might undermine the long-term provision of other FES, or converge to using free software models which are practical and low-cost but require enormous data. This reveals how the lack of existing inventories and evaluations impacts the choice of methodologies and lead to use indirect methods of measurement. However, researches that aim to understand the relationships and conflicts among multiple FES and seeks to find out the best management regime will improve our ability to sustainably fulfil economic, ecologic and social goals.

Retrofitting of district heating systems is a comprehensive process which covers all stages of district heating (DH) systems: production, distribution and consumption. This study quantitatively shows the effect of retrofitting measures and represents strengths and weaknesses of different development scenarios. Improvements in production units show improvements in fuel use efficiency and thus indirectly reduce CO2 emissions due to unburned fuel. For this purpose, validated district planning tools have been used. Tool uses mathematical model for calculation and evaluation of all three main components of the DH system. For the quantitative evaluation, nine efficiency and balance indicators were used. For each indicator, recommended boundary values were proposed. In total, six simulation scenarios were simulated, and the last scenario have shown significant reduction in CO2 emissions by 40% (from 3376 to 2000 t CO2 compared to the actual state), while share of biomass has reached 47%.

The article focuses on the fact that creativity for the teacher is a relevant component of his professional activity, a way of self-realization, sup- port in the development of the personality of others. The diversity of pedagogical activity which is directed not only at creation of pedagogical technologies, but also at values of pupils is the es- sential basis of development of personality of the creative teacher is proved. The content and structure of personality of a creative teacher in foreign theory and practice are investigated. It is proven that a creative prod- uct is the result of a specific human action that is influenced by a particular environment. personality, intelligence and temperament, as well as body structure, character traits, habits, attitudes, self-esteem, value systems, mechanisms of protection and behavior. The main components of a teacher's professional activity, in particular his knowledge and skills, namely didactic, communication, organiza- tional, scientific and creative, are distinguished. It is found that the important features of a creative teacher are the awareness of their own creative abilities and creativity, belief in themselves, respect for others, empathy, enthusiasm and expression, courage in accepting risky and non-standard situations, competence and curiosity asso- ciated with a high level of intelligence and self-perfection, attractiveness and originality, artistic sense and creative imagination, 'open mind' and independence of thinking, tolerance, self-organization, activity, vitality and flexibility at work. It is proved that the creative teacher is characterized by high level of pedagogical creativity, possesses the traits of creative personality, mo- tives, abilities that contribute to successful creative pedagogical activity.

Our aim is to enable a machine to observe and interpret the behaviour of others. Mathematical models are employed to describe certain biological motions. The main challenge is to design models that are both tractable and meaningful. In the first part we will describe how computer vision techniques, in particular visual tracking, can be applied to recognize a small vocabulary of human actions in a constrained scenario. Mainly the problems of viewpoint and scale invariance need to be overcome to formalize a general framework. Hence the second part of the article is devoted to the question whether a particular human action should be captured in a single complex model or whether it is more promising to make extensive use of semantic knowledge and a collection of low–level models that encode certain motion primitives. Scene context plays a crucial role if we intend to give a higher–level interpretation rather than a low–level physical description of the observed motion. A semantic knowledge base is used to establish the scene context. This approach consists of three main components: visual analysis, the mapping from vision to language and the search of the semantic database. A small number of robust visual detectors is used to generate a higher–level description of the scene. The approach together with a number of results is presented in the third part of this article.

Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) being essential for many living organisms, including man, became once more into the focus of interests because of its numerous physiological effects. Its anti-scurvy and anti-oxidant properties have already been recognised since long in the human body, but it turned out gradually that it has many other functions. In plants, its primary importance is defense against the photo-oxidative stress. The present review is intended to reveal some details of the artificial synthesis of vitamin C. Emphasis is put on the metabolism of L-ascorbic acid in higher plants. Biosynthetic processes, translocation and accumulation are discussed in detail on the basis of recent results published in the scientific literature.
