Theories Regarding the Role of the Growth Poles in the Economic Integration

Abstract Until now, scientists were unanimous in assessing the role of growth poles in economic development. Growth poles are considered the most dynamic elements of economic growth, the real locomotive of integration on multiple levels: economic, technological, ideological, moral and spiritual development at regional, continental and global levels. Specialized literature stressed very little or no growth poles role in economic integration, although the development of national economies depend on connecting major urban centers in regional economic system, continental and global levels. Conversely, integration and globalization of economic, social, political, cultural, and moving towards a knowledge economy seem to be major factors in the transformation and restructuring of growth poles and urban systems dependent. If growth poles better realize their vocation integrating and implementing the innovative collaborative networks in a polycentric territory when they create conditions that allow people to make best use valences economic integration for developing areas. Also, growth poles using these integrative cooperation between areas and between small and medium-sized cities, both at internal borders and beyond the external frontiers of integrative area concerned. Grouping theories emitted mainly by economists and sociologists, in theory first, second and third generation, the study demonstrates basis on the assumption that economic growth poles stimulates and enhances economic integration in those areas, being with free economic zones, true core of economic integration.

Technical Means of Preservation of Renewable Human Energy's

Abstract Along its millenary history, man imagined, built and implemented a set of technical means whose operating principle is based on human renewable energys, storing this energy, given average power renewable source of man. These technical means can have miraculous effects related to human renewable energy storage. A medium force and renewable energy lifetime of the person concerned, that can be quantified as the average power sources of human-specific human and can be taken into account when making studies and research on human. Renewable energy characterizes the medium human renewable energys and average power renewable sources of man. After solar power, emanating from our planet with water geysers and thermal energy from biomass that after, the vital energy of man can be considered a strong form of renewable for on our planet, still insufficiently known, quantified and evaluated. The study has several models to showcase, respectively, to preserve renewable human energys sources.

Shanghai an Important Growth Pole of China's and for The Planet☆

Some Observations Regarding the International Databases

Abstract A national database (NDB) or an international one (abbreviated IDB), also named often as “data bank”, represents a method of storing some information and data on an external device (a storage device), with the possibility of an easy extension or an easy way to quickly find these information. Therefore, through IDB we don‘t only understand a bibliometric or bibliographic index, which is a collection of references, that normally represents the “soft”, but also the respective IDB “hard”, which is the support and the storage technology. Usually, a database – a very comprehensive notion in the computers science – is a bibliographic index, compiled with specific purpose, objectives and means. In reality, the national and international databases are operated through management systems, usually electronic and informational, based on advanced manipulation technologies in the virtual space. On line encyclopedias can also be considered and are important international database (IDB). WorldCat, for example, is a world catalogue, that included the identification data for the books within circa 71.000 libraries in 112 countries, data classified through Online Computer Library Center (OCLC), with the participation of the libraries in the respective countries, especially of those that are national library.

Sustainable Development through Entrepreneurial Initiatives in Center Region, Romania☆

Abstract Abstract: Sustainable development is one of the future directions of economic evolution for each member state of the European Union. In order to reduce the development gap between Romanian economy and the European average, our country has to support the entrepreneurial initiatives at regional level, respecting and sustaining the specific situation of each region. Education has an important role in sustaining entrepreneurship. In this paper is presented the starting point of a future research among graduated students, which is aiming to present the dimension of the entrepreneurial education: entrepreneurial competences, entrepreneurial intentions, individual employability and the impact on the society and economy. The authors of this paper will present a small research developed in “1 Decembrie 1918” University of Alba Iulia in order to determine the graduated students’ motivation for choosing entrepreneurship. This research has to be seen in the framework of the cooperation between university and business environment, so that the graduated students could be integrated in the regional business environment.
