Laws and principles of universal value in sustainable development indicators analysis
TLDR
In this article, the authors have focused on the use of quasi-universal value theories in research in order to deepen the analysis of sustainable development indicators, which can lead to a greater understanding of all aspects of this area and facilitate understanding of the arguments which underlie any responsible decision making.Abstract:
Each extension of the scope of laws and principles that allow both mathematical and statistical remodeling as well as reaffirming the appropriateness of proven methods, stirs up a special study interest. The ever-expanding computational power of laws of power offers to the scientific universe possibility of new approach to the crucial relationship between quantity and quality, between micro and macro dimensions. Boosting broadening the use of quasi-universal value theories in research in order to deepen the analysis of sustainable development indicators can lead to a greater understanding of all aspects of this area and to facilitate understanding of the arguments which underlie any responsible decision making. This assumption underlies the logical conclusion that sustainability becomes even stronger as it benefits from scientific arguments support resulting from research. Although we have confined ourselves in drafting some coordinates for application of each method presented to particular issues of sustainable development, this research theme will be strengthened and pursued through appropriate extensive analysis.read more

Modelul entropic al procesului economic – unele aspecte epistemologice
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derive, on criticism basis (following, especially, the critic rationalism, as method), epistemological suggestions from the crucial work of Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen, "The Entropy Law and the Economic Process", in order as these suggestions or challenges constitute ongoing points for further logical assessments or polemical debates.
