El presente estudio incluye el análisis diagnóstico y evolutivo del bioclima de la República de  Moldavia según Wind Chill Index (WCI) y Cooling Power (CP). Entre 1960 y 2012,  el bioclima de la temporada fría (octubre-marzo) presentó una tendencia de calentamiento gradual, evidenciada por la baja de los valores de WCI. Durante la temporada cálida, el bioclima de la República de Moldovia registró un calentamiento gradual, evidenciado por la baja  de los valores de CP. Los valores del índice CP han sido analizados según los valores  del Índice Climático turístico  (TCI), útil para planificar actividades turísticas de cualquier tipo. Los valores actuales de TCI y los anticipados para el futuro indican un clima favorecedor para todo tipo o toda clase de turismo en la República Moldavia.

Abstract The article provides an initial description of the biometeorological conditions in the Arctic during the first International Polar Year (IPY 1) of 1882-1883. The study is based on hourly measurements taken from nine stations which represent most of the climatic regions in the Arctic. The diversity of biometeorological conditions was analysed in relation to the height above sea level, the distance from the sea and the character of the ground. The analysis made use of such biometeorological indices as wind chill index (WCI), predicted insulation of clothing (Iclp) and the cooling power of the air (H). A considerable spatial diversity of the biometeorological conditions was found during the period investigated. The least favourable thermal sensations occurred at the Sagastyr station, and the most favourable conditions were observed at Kapp Thordsen.

The Impact

This article analyzes the most current security issues for the Republic of Moldova that are part of the regional security context of Eastern Europe –the region that can be considered the epicenter of international tensions through which the„geopolitical line of fracture”passes. The geographical position of the Republic of Moldova makes this state particularly sensitive to any negative trends in theregion. Growing of international tensions creates security threats and complicates economic development. From a historical point of view, Moldova has repeatedly fallen victim by the confrontation of the great powers. Therefore, the Republic of Moldova has a vital interest in preventing a new conflict in Eastern Europe. This article is based on a number of assumptions made by changes in the European security environment, such as the „shift of weight” to the East, strategic uncertainty, increasing the role of non-state actors, the situation in eastern Ukraine, etc. Based on these assumptions, this article makes an attempt to outline the potential role of the Republic of Moldova in the Eastern European security system, taking into account the desideratum for integration of the republic into the European Union. Other relevant factors will be taken into account for shaping the role of the Republic of Moldova in the European security system, namely: the security deficit; the impact of NATO and EU security policy; the rebirth of the project to create a regional defense alliance, etc. This article will largely take into account the military aspects of security.
