Prof. Dr. Horațiu Moldovan, AOSR member and primary physician in cardiovascular surgery at SANADOR Clinical Hospital, details the complexity of advanced cardiac surgery and how the progress of heart surgery has profoundly changed medicine.
Heart failure occurs when the heart’s pumping function is impaired, in varying degrees of severity. The disease is the end point of several conditions, which, untreated in time, complicate over time with heart failure. In advanced stages, when medication is no longer sufficient and the risk of cardiac death is very high, the main remaining treatment option is heart transplantation. But there is also the possibility of functionally replacing the heart with an artificial heart, a solution that still needs development.
8 March is an important day globally, celebrating women’s social, economic and political rights and the fight against discrimination and violence.
International Women’s Day is a celebration of women and at the same time a reaffirmation of the desire to fight for equal rights.
Since its emergence within the socialist movement, International Women’s Day has gained more and more recognition every year, and is now celebrated in developed and developing countries alike. In 1977 it was declared “International Women’s Year” by the United Nations. As of this year, International Women’s Day has been adopted by many governments of countries that had not previously known of its existence.
It is a day when women are recognised for their achievements, regardless of national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or political divisions. It is a time to remember the efforts and achievements of the past and, most importantly, to look forward to the untapped potential of women and the opportunities that await women in future generations.
Life, art, even energy is feminine. The idea, like the fight and the bread, is also feminine. Ambitious, dynamic, with a passion for work, emotional and effective, they make their intervention more intuitive and beneficial.
ROUND TABLE Sustainable Business Transformation: Management Challenges in the Age of the Sustainability Revolution – Tuesday, 7 March 2023, 10:30 – Ilfov Street, nr.3
SPECIAL GUEST Professor Dr. Kanji Tanimoto Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan
Moderators: Professor Adriana Grigorescu Professor Constantin Brătianu
The Academy of Romanian Scientists is launching the “TRIBUNAL OF YOUNG SCIENTISTS” programme from March 2023. The event will be held monthly at the AOSR headquarters.
The first event will be entitled “Investigating Nuclear Structure with High Power Lasers” and will be held on Friday, 3 March 2023, at 11:00 at the AOSR headquarters by Mr. Prof. Virgil Băran, head of the Theoretical Physics Department at the University of Bucharest.
The conference will focus on the facilities offered by the ELI-NP at Măgurele, a unique international project that allows frontier experiments in nuclear photonics. Exploring collective phenomena in atomic nuclei will lead to a higher level of understanding and control.
In this context, photon-nucleus interaction using different types of high-power laser beams, which induce excitation of collective motions of different multipolarities, will be presented.
Soprano Mădălina Stan will give a recital at the Academy of Romanian Scientists, on March 1st, at 12.00, accompanied by pianist Ieronim Buga, marking the beginning of spring in musical harmony.
On Thursday, 16 February 2023, the Timisoara Branch of AOSR organized, together with the University of Life Sciences of Timisoara and the Timisoara Branch of the Academy of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences, a tribute to Prof. emeritus MIHAI DECUN, honorary member of the AOSR, on the occasion of his 80th birthday.
On this occasion, the book “Contributions to the progress of knowledge” was launched, presenting the prodigious scientific, didactic and professional activity of Prof. Emeritus MIHAI DECUN.
Mr. Andea Petru, the scientific secretary of the AOSR, presented to the honoree, as a token of homage, the Diploma of Excellence and the Medal of Honour of the AOSR.
We wish Prof. Emeritus MIHAI DECUN new achievements in life, in his profession and “Happy Birthday”.

INVITED Acad. Florin FILIP – Romanian Academy Prof. dr. eng. Larisa IVAȘCU – Polytechnic University of Timișoara Prof. Răzvan BOLOGA – Academy of Economic Studies of Bucharest
MODERATOR: Prof. Dr. Ing. Doina BANCIU
The public debate organized by the Academy of Romanian Scientists through ICAI – Institute for Advanced Interdisciplinary Research “Constantin Angelescu” brought to the attention of specialists in the field the analysis of the need for lifelong learning in Romania in the European context.
As Mr. Prof. dr. eng. Adrian BADEA, President of AOSR, in the word transmitted through Mrs. Vice President Doina Banciu, the conference is part of AOSR’s four projects, namely “Digital Transformation of Romanian Society”.
The academic event was attended by both physical and online research specialists who addressed artificial intelligence (AI) systems in relation to the need for lifelong learning, which is naturally also linked to the need for continuous reading.
In this regard, the AOSR event was organized on National Reading Day (15 February) under the coordination and moderation of Prof. Dr. Eng. Doina Banciu. Thus, the AOSR vice-president briefly outlined at the opening of the conference the need for continuing education with a focus on the role of educational and cultural institutions in supporting the general efforts of the administration to reduce the growing phenomenon of functional illiteracy. At the same time, he brought to the attention of the audience the need for young people to use reading, whatever its form and medium, to inform themselves and understand correctly and consistently the problems they face, both personally and professionally.
The important role of public libraries in shaping the digital literacy of citizens was also highlighted.
Academician Florin Filip outlined the milestones of the adaptive teaching-learning process dimension based on information and communication technology and stressed the professional support of all initiatives aimed at this topic.
Prof. univ. Răzvan Bologa presented an AI-based teaching-learning platform, which aroused great interest from the participants. In this context, the possibilities of developing projects of broad public interest were mentioned.
Prof. dr. eng. Larisa Ivașcu mentioned AOSR’s concerns for supporting e-Learning processes, recalling that even during the pandemic AOSR publishing published a very well documented book dedicated to this topic. At the same time, she said that the Technical University of Timisoara has serious concerns in the direction of modern and adaptive education.
Florin Jianu, President of the National Council of Small and Medium-Sized Private Enterprises in Romania (CNIPMMR), also spoke about the concerns of the institution he leads to achieve the European objectives that all employees in SMEs should have at least a minimum level of digital skills.
Prof. Ion Popa, Dean of the Faculty of Management – ASE Bucharest, reiterated his institution’s interest in new forms of teaching-learning, in which AI is an increasingly prominent vector.
Victor Vevera, Director General of ICI – Bucharest, mentioned that the institute has foreseen in its scope of activity the development of courses and tools on new technology platforms.
The event was also attended by Mireille Rădoi, Director General of the Central University Library (B.C.U.) “Carol I” and Daniel Fodorean, Dean of the Baptist Theological Institute of Bucharest.
We invite you to watch on the AOSR YouTube channel the video presentation held by Mircea Radulian and Mihaela Popa on a topic of real interest at this time.
