Keywords: stress; coping; cardiometabolic risk; cortisol; autonomic nervous system;
The most important objective of this research was to analyze and discuss the current relationship between the level of stress perception and the consequences on cardiometabolic risk in population. The study was based on a literature review, including books, published articles and internet information, as well as on the author’s own experience in this field, regarding the most important concepts about stress, the mediators and systems involved, methods of assessment and evidences about the influences of stress on cardiac, endocrine and metabolic system. Stress and coping with stress have been identified as important variables affecting health, now recognized to be involved in pathogenesis of many diseases: cardiometabolic, respiratory and digestive pathologies, cancer, neuroendocrine and psychiatric disorders. Glucocorticoids, catecholamines, pro- and antiinflammatory cytokines and the parasympathetic nervous system are involved in the adaptation to stressors. The overload of these allostatic systems is characterized by persistent high levels of stress mediators and damaging effects on human health. The stress assessment combine the rating scales for self-evaluation and the laboratory tests. From the medical point of view, the most important step forward in the stress research was made by using salivary stress markers. Measuring cortisol, alpha-amylase, or dehydroepiandrosterone in saliva became a reliable method of investigating stress in human because avoid venipuncture and offer the possibility of self-collection at home or at work, several times per day. Stress markers were significantly increased in metabolic syndrome, hypertension, stroke, ischemic heart disease and heart failure.

Keywords: Eduard Terényi; Messiaenesque; contemporary organ music; variation form; micro variation.
In the organ play Messiaenesques by E. Terényi, the theme of the micro-variations illustrates a series of dispersed stylistic suggestions of the music of Oliver Messiaen, namely, melodic lines, rhythms, the dynamics, chords and so on, which are used to create a series of analogies, variations or oppositions. The play on words from the title - by separating the word Messiaenesque we get Messiaen + Enescu - is not an amusement, as it may seem as there are some elements taken from the Enescu’s style and this play mirrors a double stylistic thinking. The variations are made through the montage technique, consisting in the selection of a number of paradigmatic microelements, of the cellular/figurative/motive microstructures of the musical anguage. This micro – entities can be easily identified having the graphic analyse in front: unifying the tones with imaginary lines, we get different geometrical figures.

Today, we are not surprised anymore by the huge monitors that “adorn” urban places. In this sense video art tends to leave the interior, where it was born due to television, getting literally out in the open and in this way approaching to its nomadic nature. Equally, the ideatic and critical aspet need an update in challenging the world of the Internet, a world that calls into question the idea of boundary, the boundary of the private space in relation to the public and the delineation of the sphere of the local area communication in relation to an international one. One of the representative artistic manifestations, to illustrate the movement of the genere focal point from television to internet is the Video Art Event project, an annual international video art event that has been taking place since 2010 in Oradea an Milan.

One of the areas of regulation at national and European level, which has a great impact, is that of travel services. Having in view the increase of the population’s mobility across the entire European Union for interests connected to work, business as well as for pleasure, the norms which regulate the travel services are of particular importance, but the travels for tourism have an even more special relevance for each person. On these grounds, the present paper analyses the development of the package travel contract according to the new national regulation harmonized with the European regulation in the matter, highlighting the aspect of novelty compared to the previous regulation.

Keywords: 1918; union; Great Romania; inhabitants from Bihor county;
The year 1918 marked a significant moment in the history of the Romanians, namely the establishment of the Romanian unitary national state. Great Romania became a historical reality by union of Bessarabia, Bukovina and Transylvania with the Kingdom of Romania. The Act of Union on December 1st 1918 was marked by the Great National Assembly from Alba Iulia. The Romanians from Bihor County contributed to this major event in the history of the Romanian people. This moment was the result of the action of an entire political generation dominated by the feeling of solidarity and political realism that will show its fruits in the interwar period.

This paper examines the impact of sacrificing queerness when adapting comics into films, which cater to wider audiences – specifically, queer elision in Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther (2018) and illusions of queerness in Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman (2017). The difference between elision and illusion is crucial, and so approached using different analytical modes. Black Panther’s analysis is rooted in the production process, exploring how/why queerness is erased by drawing comparisons to the explicit queerness of Ta-Nehisi Coates and Roxanne Gay’s comics. The analysis of Wonder Woman focuses on in-depth textual analysis of both Greg Rucka’s comics and Jenkins’s film to illustrate how queer illusions functions across media. Despite these films being hailed as progressive, this paper illuminates how motivations to hide queerness when moving to wider audiences are rooted in homophobia and protecting profit margins.

Keywords: Lexical creativity; derivation; affixes; word formation; telescope words; contamination; non-standard writing;
Social media has lately become a fertile space for self-expression. The Internet is widely used for communication, generating a new way of conveying messages, sharing impressions or criticizing the negative aspects of society. Cyberlanguage is characterized by various means of enriching the vocabulary, revealing non-standard writing or lexical changes in the substance of Romanian. The present study aims at exemplifying how derivation, word formation, puns or unconventional orthography are represented in social media, especially Facebook. The corpus of the paper is mainly based on commentaries displayed on different pages belonging to Romanian journalists and collected in 2022, approaching the most significant aspects of internal politics.
