    Cochlear implantation, a transformative medical intervention for individuals with severe to profound hearing loss, has garnered considerable attention within the healthcare landscape. This scientific review article delves into the policies and funding arrangements for cochlear implantation across European Union (EU) member states, highlighting the intricate interplay between healthcare systems, social priorities, and patient access to this life-altering technology. Given the heterogeneity of healthcare systems and policies within the EU, the article offers an analysis of representative countries while acknowledging the inherent complexity and evolution of healthcare regulations. Drawing from official government health agencies, national healthcare websites, and healthcare providers, this review elucidates the diverse spectrum of approaches adopted by EU countries. The article outlines policies concerning eligibility criteria, age-related priorities, reimbursement mechanisms, and the role of public and private insurance in facilitating cochlear implant surgeries. Recognizing that access to cochlear implants is pivotal in promoting speech and language development, especially in children, the review underscores the significance of pediatric cases within various countries' funding frameworks.

    NAVIGATING E-DEMOCRACY THROUGH THE ANALYSIS OF OFFICIAL PUBLICATIONS OF LOCAL ADMINISTRATIONS. COMPARATIVE LEGAL FRAMEWORK ROMANIA VS BULGARIA
    (Бургаски Свободен Университет, 2023) Voican, Mădălina
    Both Bulgaria and Romania share the common goal of fostering open and accountable governance, and their diverse legislative strategies offer valuable lessons for the broader context of democratic development. This article highlights the significance of transparency and access to public information through digitalization in both countries, emphasizing their roles in strengthening democratic societies. Both countries pursued distinct legislative approaches to achieve transparency goals. In Bulgaria, the Access to Public Information Act (APIA) has been instrumental in promoting transparency by mandating the proactive publication of specific information categories. On the other hand, Romania's Administrative Code, particularly Annex 1, represents a significant stride in modernizing public administration. It focuses on digital freedom of information and introduces the digital Local Official Electronic Journal. This comparative analysis aims to shed light on the strengths and weaknesses of each approach, highlighting progress and challenges, and providing insights into the evolution of transparency and accountability in these Southeast European countries.
