Educaţia religioasă a adulţilor şi participarea activă la liturghie. Analiză comparativă în funcţie de gen

Author(s): Dorin Opriş / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: Suppl_1/2014

Keywords: the effectiveness of the religious experience; religious choir music; Eucharist

The central part of all Liturgies is the transfiguration of the bread and wine in the Body and the Flesh of the Lord and, from a liturgical point of view, this is considered the priest and the worshippers’ joint work. Thus, the liturgical conversation between the priest and the worshippers is both a time during which the entire Church takes part in the Eucharist and an authentic lesson on Christian communion and perfection. This study presents the survey data gathered after the analysis of the answers to a questionnaire applied to 200 participants, all members of church choirs from nine Romanian towns. The differences between the two genders are mostly connected to the effectiveness of the religious experience and the women recorded the highest percentage in the following categories: religious motivation in belonging to the various congregations; frequency of attending the religious services, other the Liturgies during which they sing; and knowledge of the various moments of the Holy Liturgy.

Author(s): Éva Monica Székely / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2012

Keywords: learning social mimetic practice; narrative story of himself, educational and analogous models

In Higher Education, the positive pedagogical significance of globalization signifies recognizing the expanse of the educative borough, founded on the value of the pluralism, beyond the national frames, in order to establish some authentic relations of communication between cultures/nations, arts and different humanities curricula. Our evaluation methods, philosophies and instruments of Literacy in higher education will promote relationships between modern vs. postmodern models of analogous systems (society and literature; society and movies; literature and film) so that to put in relevance connections between intercultural and moral communication (Z. Bauman, A. McIntyre) in order to continue Piaget’s issues on the one hand. On the other hand, in order to construct identity vs. otherness, our aim is to argue some connections between society, history and literature in order to be one “citizen of the world” who is understanding the opportunities and the openness towards personal evolution that these interdisciplinary and intercultural spaces offer us, putting forward not only the diversity and difference, but also the identity.

The creation of the national language in the 19th century in Mihai Eminescu's vision

Crearea limbii naţionale ȋn secolul al XIX-lea ȋn viziunea lui Mihai Eminescu

Author(s): Petra Denisa Tcacenco / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 3/2016

Keywords: Romanian literary language; nineteenth century; Mihai Eminescu

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the Romanian literary language creation in the nineteenth century theoretised by the national poet Mihai Eminescu. Precisely, we intended to focus on his ideas about the language formation and for this reason we studied the journalistic texts of the Academic edition in which he formulates opinions on this matter. Eminescu the journalist gives personal views on the elements that should be preserved in the Romanian idiom and, also, critics rough the contemporaries that have not managed yet to unify it. The language plays an important role in the process of Eminescu poems creation too. He demonstrates it throughout his poetry, from the beginnings of it, when he writes in the manner of his predecessors, but not copying them, instead, deconstructing the poetic material, discharging the words of their clichéd expression, revealing them new semnifications until his lasts poems where he forces the language to follow the strict rules of the antic meter. His theoretical ideas regarding the formation of literary language, important, though less known, contributed to the struggle of creating the national idiom in the epoch. Therefore, he believes that the evolution of language is essential for the growing of literature and that the writers have an essential function in the relation between the two of them. The reason is because language, being the autors instrument of writing, is improved in the artistic act. Also, the Romanian language is, in his opinion, a treasure left by our ancestors, the old men who, in their naivety, create an harmonious and beautiful idiom back in the seventeenth century. We can see, thus, how the poet sight turns mostly to the past, worshipping a language that existed in that time, heterogeneous as it was, while he negates the present, criticising the coevals of his epoch for ruining the old idiom. The main reason behind his attack is the appearance of the new language spoken by them, an idiom, as the poet affirms, denaturized by French elements, transformed into an artificial language, which does not reflect anymore the Romanian identity. The way Eminescu reacts to this situation and the remedies proposed are to be analyzed in this paper.

ASPECTS OF LEARNING LEGAL LANGUAGE THROUGH THE TECHNIQUE OF TRANSLATION

ASPECTE ALE ÎNSUŞIRII LIMBAJULUI JURIDIC PRIN TEHNICA TRADUCERII

Author(s): Alexandra Florenta Costin / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 2/2012

Keywords: translation; transla tion characteristics; translation as a teaching tool, communicative activities; authentic materials; translation difficulties.

The debates regarding the advantages/disadvantages of using translations as a tool in teaching/learning a foreign language have been very prolific. The pros and cons of the aforementioned issue comprise the opportunity to acquire the four main skills, to understand the inner aspects that articulate a language as well as the non-productive character of the technique, the intense contact with the native tongue while translating, the lack of communicative character of the translation process. The analysis of these controversies has proved the fact that translations need to be put into a more balanced perspective. Regardless of the way it is used – as a means in itself, for a professional translator or as a pedagogical tool for learning foreign languages, the translation is far from being a technique that hinders students from using the language creatively. The paper reviews the translation technique in its major points, from extreme approaches to a balanced one, brings arguments about it as having communicative characteristics and presents the reader with a number of difficulties that are encountered when using translations in the ESP/Legal English courses.

Arbitration has represented a modality of solving the civil law disputes since Antiquity.

The disputes are submitted to be solved, according to the parties’ agreement, to some arbitrators designated for certain cases or to some permanent institutions of arbitration, which have the duty to judge the dispute and to render an award, which the parties commit to enforce. Due to its generalization and importance, the institution of arbitration is regulated by national laws and international agreements, both bilateral and multilateral.

Written folklore: from grafitti to memes

Folklori i shkruar: nga grafitet te memet

Author(s): Ylberza Halili / Language(s): Albanian / Issue: 35/2017

Keywords: written folklore; dynamics of folklore; urban folklore; graffiti; memes;

Today, the word "folklore" appoints a big dimension and profoundly important culture. As such, it is manifested in various forms of communication, not always only verbal but also through writing. The idea that folklore reflects only the past, today belongs to the past. Folklore is created continuously, and as such reflects our lives constantly, from past to present. Being a reflection of the spiritual world of the people, it is present where people are: at work, in the countryside, in the street, in the city, online. Urban folklore of the street appears through graffiti - writings on the walls that express a reflection of an individual or group of youth. One of the most widely accepted features of any urban folklore is its reflection of what are considered to be social and individual problems. Digital technology today has further expanded the expressive folklore, opening an additional place for cultural expression. Many people, of all ages, genders and races, regularly interact online, reading, responding, and creating a variety of digital texts, accompanied by photographs. With humorous, mocking or sarcastic meaning, pictures or videos associated with short text, in contemporary folklore are known under the term meme.This paper will discuss these issues: What does written folklore represent? What are the characteristics of the forms of written folklore: graffiti and memes? How are these forms presented in the Albanian urban environment? How much are common memes and graffiti in Albanian various websites such as Facebook, Instagram, etc.? Have memes been accepted and assimilated to our actuality?, etc.The paper will be accompanied by examples from the internet and the terrain, which prove the phenomenon of written folklore in Albanian culture.

OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES OR THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION

OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES OR THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION

Author(s): Monica Condruz-Bacescu / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2019

Keywords: open education resources; education system; free license; curriculum; software; opportunities;

The paper deals with the issue of open educational resources (OER). The first part focuses on the concept of OER, its use in education and benefits for students, educational institutions, employers, public and private organizations. Open educational resources refer to unhindered access to instructive materials, facilitated by information and communication technologies, for user consultation, use and adaptation for non-commercial purposes. The use of OER means a change in educational practices and requires changes at institutional level and innovations in teaching and learning. The role of OER in building, disseminating and sharing knowledge is presented, focusing in particular on using open and collaborative tools to build new virtual learning environments for higher education. The second part presents some examples of OER sites such as: Curriki, CK-12, CNX, Smarthistory, Opencourseware. Many OER sites are sustained by non-profit organizations, universities or different companies. Their mission is to offer high quality education for free to students, educators, self-learners. Despite OER's benefits, including the ability to exchange information with other students, according to personal learning goals, students are still striving to find relevant content and receive little or no recognition of their informal studies. Both teachers and students lack the skills for self-directed learning. The OER dialogue needs to move away from the discussion on access to materials and address the way in which co-creation, adaptation and shared management can be promoted. Open educational resources are a place of excellence in social inclusion and inclusion policies and have the support of many decision-makers. This is because the main objective of OER at present is to allow broad access to digital content, without reflecting whether this will support educational practices and promote quality and innovation in teaching and learning.

Author(s): Marcela Rebeca Contreras Loera,Mónica Velarde Valdez / Language(s): English / Issue: 4.1/2014

Keywords: leadership; cooperative fisheries; management

The need to compete and grow encourages changes in organizations. In the fishing camps are created cooperatives, which know the reality of the environment and work with the aim of contributing to the development and progress of the fishermen and their communities. It is fundamental the role of its leaders, who have a responsibility to promote change in attitude and teamwork, to achieve personal and collective goals. This paper presents preliminary results of a larger study which main objective was to identify the type of leadership that dominates in the management of the Sinaloa fishing cooperatives. The study was conducted under the qualitative paradigm; data collection was carried out with semi-structured interviews with managers and former directives of fishing cooperatives located in central Sinaloa, complemented by the application of a questionnaire covering their socioeconomic profile. The main findings show that managers are fishermen, cooperative members, elected by the General Assembly as the highest organ of administration, with an average age from 35 to 45 years old, with basic school grades. They know about the productive activity of artisanal fisheries and occupy the job of president of the board in periods of 2-3 years without administrative preparation to run them. Regarding the predominant style of leadership, managers of fishing cooperatives say their efforts are focused on the development of organizational tasks such as setting goals and targets for each fishing season. In relation with the development of human relationships among members of the cooperative, indicate that their main concern is the quality of mutual relations and the level of involvement of partners, and with that in mind they implement strategies for the integration and participation in the opinions and decision making for the members. With the above it is concluded that managers of fishing cooperatives are young fishermen who run the organization with little training for the development of their job and they practice predominantly a style of democratic leadership, because they promote the participation of partners in both contribution of opinions as in decision making, strengthening the trust deposited in him at the time of his election as leader.
