“…While in the '90s, Romanian medical doctors preferred to emigrate to the US or Canada, after Romania's admission to the European Union, this class has mainly migrated to UK, Germany, France, and Belgium [19] [2]. Various studies show that, in 2010, Romanians physicians represented the main group of foreign medical experts in France [19] Moreover, in the next two years, Romanian physicians represented a third of foreign doctors registered in France [20]. The importance of this phenomenon is reinforced by studies that present a similar situation in Belgium, a country with an impressive number of Romanian medical specialists [19].…”

The level of widely used technology has tremendously increased in recent years, and the internet has genuinely re-shaped the way we learn, communicate and live. As a result, social data availability, complexity, and diversity steadily grow. In the same time, the computational machine power constantly unlocks opportunities to provide innovative techniques. By leveraging that power in statistics, powerful algorithms, such as neural networks, started to be applied in various fields. Image Processing has been a subject of broad interest and face recognition has been an essential part of this field in recent years. This paper aims to leverage all these resources to provide an overview of how social media data can be collected and analyzed using R. The result of this paper is represented by an innovative algorithm able to retrieve and analyze Twitter information. Moreover, this paper also provides a snapshot of the Romanian Twitter users' demographics and mobility.

“…This research is intended to bring current data regarding the main determinant causes of the brain drain phenomenon in Romania, in the skilled migration issues in addition to the dedicated works and analysis patterns (see, for example, Balan & Olteanu, 2017;Goga & Ilie, 2017;Anghel, Botezat, Coºciug, Manafi, & Roman, 2016;Andrén & Roman, 2016;Boncea, 2015;Séchet & Vasilcu, 2015;Horváth & Anghel, 2009;Sandu et al, 2006). This paper brings forward the determinant causes of the Romanian skilled migration and identifies, based on a quantitative analysis, the changes in the hierarchy of the main brain drain determinant factors, by relating them to the Romanian Emigrants Study (RES) (Roman, Goschin, Ileanu, Popa, & Roman, 2012) results.…”

Romanians’ rapidly increasing exodus over the borders, in the last years, propelled Romania to the top countries with the highest international migration rates worldwide. A rate of 7.3% per annum, recorded between 2000 and 2015, placed Romania second, after Syria (United Nations, 2016). Between 1990 – 2017, Romania registered the highest rise in the migration stock among all EU states – 287 per cent (The World Bank, 2018a). The boost of the migration phenomenon was supported by significant changes, including in the migrants’ profiles, in terms of their level of education, consequently the loss of human capital represented by the highly skilled Romanians already has an impact on the key sectors of the Romanian economy. The highly skilled manpower shortage has been a constant topic on the public agenda, especially after Romania’s integration in the European Union (2007), and after the burst of the most recent financial crisis (2008). The number of highly educated employees (tertiary education and upper secondary and post-secondary attainment) decreased in Romania, negatively affecting the key sectors of the economy. Furthermore, research shows that Romania has the lowest percentage of tertiary education graduates from the EU, with 26.3% for the age segment of 30 – 34 years (Eurostat, 2018a). The paper aims to show recent data on the determinant causes of the brain drain phenomenon in Romania (push factors) and to generate a classification of the three categories of mainly possible determinants: economic, socio-political and organizational factors, based on the results of an online survey addressed to Romanian high-skilled migrants.

“…In the specific context of Romania, the proportions of the epidemic have aggravated existing problems of a health system that is characterized by systemic underfunding, corruption, and a strong exodus of white robes [ 21 ]. The first case was confirmed on 26 February 2020, in Gorj County, and the number of reported cases rapidly increased to 1000 within a month, escalating to over 10,000 during the first two months, and reaching 300,000 confirmed cases at the beginning of November 2020, according to data provided by the Strategic Communication Group within the Ministry of Internal Affairs (GCS) [ 22 ].…”

The first months of 2020 were marked by the rapid spread of the acute respiratory disease, which swiftly reached the proportions of a pandemic. The city and county of Suceava, Romania, faced an unprecedented crisis in March and April 2020, triggered not only by the highest number of infections nationwide but also by the highest number of infected health professionals (47.1% of the infected medical staff nationwide, in April 2020). Why did Suceava reach the peak number of COVID-19 cases in Romania? What were the vulnerability factors that led to the outbreak, the closure of the city of Suceava and neighboring localities, and the impossibility of managing the crisis with local resources? What is the relationship between the population’s lack of confidence in the authorities’ ability to solve the crisis, and their attitude towards the imposed measures? The present article aims to provide answers to the above questions by examining the attitudes of the public towards the causes that have led to the outbreak of an epidemiological crisis, systemic health problems, and the capacity of decision makers to intervene both at local and national level. The research is based on an online survey, conducted between April and May 2020, resulting in a sample of 1231 people from Suceava County. The results highlight that the development of the largest COVID-19 outbreak in Romania is, without a doubt, the result of a combination of factors, related to the medical field, decision makers, and the particularities of the population’s behavior.
