Arrays of electrical devices with each comprising multiple single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) bridging metal electrodes are obtained by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of nanotubes across prefabricated electrode arrays. The ensemble of nanotubes in such a device collectively exhibits large electrical conductance changes under electrostatic gating, owing to the high percentage of semiconducting nanotubes. This leads to the fabrication of large arrays of low-noise electrical nanotube sensors with 100% yield for detecting gas molecules. Polymer functionalization is used to impart high sensitivity and selectivity to the sensors. Polyethyleneimine coating affords n-type nanotube devices capable of detecting NO 2 at less than 1 ppb (parts-per-billion) concentrations while being insensitive to NH 3 . Coating Nafion (a polymeric perfluorinated sulfonic acid ionomer) on nanotubes blocks NO 2 and allows for selective sensing of NH 3 . Multiplex functionalization of a nanotube sensor array is carried out by microspotting. Detection of molecules in a gas mixture is demonstrated with the multiplexed nanotube sensors.

At present, there are important changes in scientific research, changes that concern both the organization, realization and evaluation of research, as well as the use and dissemination of scientific results. These changes that are characteristic to the Open Science phenomenon are determined by the development of new technologies, by increasing the social role of scientific research in an institutional and political context. The Open Science concept represents a new approach to the way in which scientific research based on cooperation and new ways of disseminating knowledge is carried out and organized, using new digital technologies, new tools for collaboration, and RDI infrastructure to ensure open access to research data. The paper presents the results of the study on mapping research data in the Republic of Moldova. The study is based on results of two surveys conducted in January-February 2016 and May-July 2018. The research has highlighted the general concern of RDI actors about the retention and use of scientific data. A new challenge is needed to solve scientific data issues by creating new type of infrastructure to ensure data archiving, broad access for the purpose of their dissemination and reuse, and thus creating new research opportunities based on research data.

The digital divide of developing countries vis-à-vis developed countries is also reflected in the level of e-Government development. Developing countries face the  challenges of e-Government with reduced capacities and resources but also strong  incentives for growth prospects. Developing e-Government as a complex  phenomenon involves multidisciplinary efforts: the development of electronic  communications infrastructures and data infrastructures, the transformation of  internal business processes of government, increased democracy, education, as  well as a sustained economic level, and so on. The research analyses the level of e- Government development in the Republic of Moldova in a regional context of a  group of developing countries. It is an attempt to find particularities and  similarities in the evolution of e-Government in this space and to identify the  development potential and opportunities and to overcome the gap in this area. The study also addresses the prospect of alignment with European standards on e- Government development, especially with regard to the single digital market, the  European Interoperability Framework and others, as levers and drivers for  increasing the socio-economic level of Moldova, and building an open, participative  and performing government.

The process of e-Governance building in the Republic of Moldova, amplified with the adoption of the e-Transformation governmental program, highlighted the issues that require a proper approach to local conditions and specificities. A specific feature of Moldovan society is that the country's population is mostly rural. In rural areas, the sensitivity to new services and the affordability of ICT tools are lower. Another feature is that the administrative structure at the local level is very fragmented; the administrations manage small budgets that cannot cover the needs of implementing e-Governance solutions. In general, the capacity to finance ICT projects in the public sector is below the need. At the same time, some trends and indicators regarding the level of e-Governance development in the Republic of Moldova: literacy level, ICT skills, access to the Internet, use of mobile telephony, use of electronic services, etc. shows that there is significant potential to explore new opportunities, in particular, based on innovation and involvement of different social partners to support efforts to build e-Governance. The article addresses the issue of identifying new opportunities for e-Governance solutions in the context of economic and social disparities present in the Republic of Moldova. The opportunities are based on more active involvement of social stakeholders, the use of more affordable new technologies, and the adoption of policies aimed at optimizing the use of available resources.

Objective: The aim of the performed study was to investigate the traumatic health effects in patients received at the emergency service due to a storm event that happened on the 17th of September 2017 in Timisoara. Material of study consisted of a sample of 75 patients (62.67% males, 37.33% females) who came to the emergency service of the County Hospital with traumatic health effects. The method was an observational case-study with an investigation of traumatic health effects. Results: Traumatic health effects due to the storm were caused by patients falling (51.78% of diagnostics: fractures, contusions, sprains) and by being hit by flying objects (42.85% of diagnostics: craniocerebral traumatisms and contusive wounds). The patients were either sent home (54.66%), admitted (25.34%) and hospitalized (13.33% more than 10 days) or transferred (12%).  Conclusion: Traumatic health effects due to the storm were severe and involved substantial recovery time and considerable expense of resources.
