ASPECTS OF THE WRITING IN LIVIU COMES' WORK MĂGURI II

ASPECTS OF THE WRITING IN LIVIU COMES' WORK MĂGURI II

Author(s): Ciprian Gabriel Pop / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2011

Keywords: Clarinet; Sound quality; Analysis; Variation.

Liviu Comes’ work, entitled Măguri II explores the clarinet’s specific musical tone quality based on a special intervallic sound discourse. The small - big interval type combinations (second-sixth, second-ninth) are the fundament of the entire variational development of the work. As a particularity of this work there are intense using of simple, double and multiple appoggiaturas, presented on big intervals – making a special chromatic on the sound canvas. The character and tempo mention (Andantino rubato) and the structure of this work sustain the title suggestion. Every 9 section of it may suggest an element of the hill landscape; the sound atmosphere is completed by the continuing evolution of the sound development.

THE CITY AS METAPHOR IN MALCOLM BRADBURY’S WORK

THE CITY AS METAPHOR IN MALCOLM BRADBURY’S WORK

Author(s): Andreia Viţăluş / Language(s): English / Issue: 10/2005

Keywords: transfer of values; urbanisation; loss; the local; “culture-capitals”; to circumscribe/ to map; metaphorisation; new culture; New Man.

The geography of any literary period has included in one way or another the space of the city. On the one hand, our paper aims at analysing the way in which a wide range of urban nuclei, crossing the continents, have been described by Malcolm Bradbury in his critical works as concentrating all the artistic phenomena, the growth of the individual consciousness and the general conflicts as well. On the other hand, our analysis continues by presenting the way in which Bradbury’s fiction parodies the existence of these “culture-cities”.

Selective Welfare: Paradigmatic Twists in Social Work Practice

Investments are made in human capital and aim at shaping productive citizens capable of satisfying the demands of flexible labour markets. The article refers to a research project that aims to explore contemporary changes within everyday practice. The article adopts an ethnographic perspective to analyse the current transformations of everyday practice in the field of unemployment insurance and welfare in the context of activation policies and the investment paradigm.

Work/Life Balance as a Gendered Agenda: The case of Slovakia

Work/Life Balance as a Gendered Agenda: The case of Slovakia

Author(s): Kvetoslava Repková / Language(s): English / Issue: Spec. 3/2008

Keywords: persons with family responsibilities; gender issue; gender differential indicators; formalised family care; long-term care

The main interest of the author is to present the work/life balance agenda primarily as a gendered agenda, which means an agenda having different connections and impact on women and men. There is a lot of evidence for different positions of men and women with regard to ensuring care (especialy the long-term care of dependent family members) and house-keeping responsibilities on one hand, and ensuring financial sustainability of family life, on the other. Currently the whole care sector is over-represented by women: from the viewpoint of women as care-givers (they provide most longterm care for dependent persons in formal and informal settings), and from the viewpoint of women as care-consumers (because of their greater longevity, and a higher rate of disability-conditions). At the same time in Europe there are high expectations from women of a working age to increase their participation in the labour market, as a high skilled and qualified labour force to achieve the overall Lisbon economic goals. Besides of these facts there is often hidden evidence about traditional forms of high pressure developed towards men in their professional life and performance to compensate for the income gap caused by a woman´s absence in the open labour market (e.g. in the situation of long-term care for a child with severe disabilities). The author´s intention is to describe selected Slovakian social policy measures supporting men and women in dealing with the above mentioned dilemma.

LUDIC AND RELIGIOUS ASPECTS IN ARGHEZI’S POETRY. AN INTRODUCTION TO ARGHEZI’S WORK. FROM THE SACRED TO THE PLAYFUL AND VICE VERSA

LUDIC AND RELIGIOUS ASPECTS IN ARGHEZI’S POETRY. AN INTRODUCTION TO ARGHEZI’S WORK. FROM THE SACRED TO THE PLAYFUL AND VICE VERSA

Author(s): Ion Popescu-Brădiceni / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 08/2016

Keywords: matching the words; the sacro-ludic perspective; the revolutionary situation

This study wants to be an introduction for the critical and meta-critical reevaluation of the entire poetry of Tudor Arghezi from the ludic and sacred perspective. I started from the already established aspect that poetry was born in play and in myth, in the pleasure of the poetic form and meta-form. Arghezi's religiousness could have as a starting point the sacred play, because humans' play has its place in the holidays' sphere and in the cult's sphere, meaning the sacred sphere. But, playing with poetry, just matching words, (matching is, in its essence, a type of game) T. Arghezi, playing honest, spoiled the game, just like any other reformer and revolutionary of language, being a founder. Thus, the matching of words is an Ŗars poeticaŗ, equivalent to Ŗars combinatoriaŗ and it imposed the existence of some trans-historic constants: the pure song, the cosmic game, the ritualistic game, the pencil, inscription, satire, imprecation, recoded through a transcendent stylistics. The liturgical and profane game consumes purporting to a new integrated entity as a consequence of the transgressions that are mutually profitable. The consequence is a formidable one: the renationalisation of the image and the re-imagination of nature. The sacred-ludic function in Arghezi's poetry is simultaneous with the subversive function of imagination.

New Chapter of Knowledge Management in Hungary: Steps Toward Open Science and Tertiary Collaborative Work

New Chapter of Knowledge Management in Hungary: Steps Toward Open Science and Tertiary Collaborative Work

Author(s): Gyöngyi Karácsony,Edit Görögh / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2017

Keywords: open access; open science; scholarly networks

The beginning of the 21st century has brought a paradigm change in higher education. The technological improvements in research and knowledge discovery and the strengthening discourse of open access have introduced new methods and tools of teaching and learning. The free online availability of teaching materials and the easy access to research results and data facilitate the development of research and student collaborative networks on a global level. Through the cooperation and works of such scientific networks, the core principles of open science - transparency, reusability, and collaboration - can be realised. A gradual shift towards the open scientific discourse can be detected in Hungary, as well. A growing number of higher education institutions adopt open access guidelines in their research and publication policies. The strengthening national open science advocacy and the EU funding requirements, requesting more transparent and freely accessible research processes, encourage a more standardized national vision on research and teaching methodologies. Collaborations with research communities and higher education administrations could ensure a more solid position for us in the global scientific circulation.

“THE OVERALL AIM OF THIS WORK IS ….” FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS OF GRAMMATICAL SUBJECT IN RESEARCH ARTICLE INTRODUCTIONS ACROSS FOUR DISCIPLINES

“THE OVERALL AIM OF THIS WORK IS ….” FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS OF GRAMMATICAL SUBJECT IN RESEARCH ARTICLE INTRODUCTIONS ACROSS FOUR DISCIPLINES

Author(s): Seyed Foad Ebrahimi / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2017

Keywords: grammatical subject; discourse function; disciplinary difference; research article introduction;

This study investigates the types and discourse functions of grammatical subjects in research article introductions across four disciplines, namely: Applied Linguistics and Psychology, representing soft sciences, and Chemistry and Environmental Engineering, representing hard sciences. This study was carried out on a corpus of 40 research article introductions (10 from each discipline). The research article introductions were sourced from twelve ISI journals published from 2008 to 2012. The corpus was analysed based on the modified model in relation to grammatical subject types and discourse functions suggested by Ebrahimi (2014). The results revealed that the grammatical subject type selections were guided by the nature of the research article introduction. However, the frequency of use of the grammatical subject types was constrained by the nature of the discipline. Discourse functions of grammatical subject types were predominantly determined by the divisions of the hard and soft sciences, and the specific disciplines within and the internal structure of the research article introductions. In addition, the results of this study manifest a new framework for the analysis of discourse functions of grammatical subject types in research article introductions.

PERIOD INFLUENCE ON THE WORK OF JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH

PERIOD INFLUENCE ON THE WORK OF JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH

Author(s): Karol Medňanský / Language(s): English / Issue: 19+20/2020

Keywords: impact of the works; family traditions; educational principle; reformation; theology and music; artistic quality; spiritual mission;

The work of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750), significantly influences the work of the contemporary composers even almost 270 years after his death. It is undoubtedly caused also by the fact that by his work Bach impersonates contemporary musical tradition. There are the three most significant areas in his work – the influence of family tradition on his work, which we can observe throughout the Thuringia, where they have had a significant musical position for 200 years in all the areas of music – secular, urban, spiritual and ecclesiastical. The tradition of German music is not less important. It influenced Johann Sebastian Bach during his studies and was based directly on the essence of protestant educational principle. Filip Melanchton, the most significant collaborator and a friend of Martin Luther, was contributory in the reform of this principle. The most important is the influence of Luther's Reformation on the spiritual world of J. S. Bach, which reached such dimensions that he unites theology and music. Under the influence of the aforementioned three areas, the work of Bach has acquired exceptional artistic and spiritual quality, a unique phenomenon in the history of music.

Aspects of the common implications in time and metric in collective free improvisation in the recorded work: Musicking Shapes

Aspects of the common implications in time and metric in collective free improvisation in the recorded work: Musicking Shapes

Author(s): Mário Dinis Marques / Language(s): English / Issue: 2-Suppl/2020

Keywords: Collective Improvisation; Common Metric; Collective Pulse;

During the production of Eduardo Lopes’ record Musiking Shapes, several aspectswere identified that suggested an unpremeditated collective consciousness in aspects suchas metrics and pulse, in a work that was based on unconventional notation, without anytime-related indication. The intention was to identify a kinetic of collective pulse withcommon time and metric implications. The methodology applied involved auditoryobservation through spectrograms and the respective transcription in the musical notationof the recorded music. When triangulating these data, substantial results of thecommunication that underlies the interpretation of this unconventional notation werefound. It was possible to prove an effective organization through what we call PrevalentSound Events (PSE) and that these are determining factors for the collective organizationthat typifies musical discourse, consubstantiating the spontaneous organization of thesemoments in Vertical Agreement Sound Events, Horizontal Agreement Sound Events andAbsolute Agreement Events.

A Research in the Information Sector on the Mediating Role of Work Engagement in the Effect of Cyberloafing Behavior on Work Performance

Sanal Kaytarma Davranışının İş Performansına Etkisinde İşe Bağlılığın Aracı Rolüne Yönelik Bilişim Sektöründe Bir Araştırma

Author(s): Ahmet Tuncay Erdem / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 4/2020

Keywords: Cyberloafing; Work Performance; Work Engagement; Information Sector;

Purpose – This study aims to examine the interactions between the perception of work engagement and work performance of employees' cyberloafing behavior in an IT industry in downtown Konya within the ego-depletion theory framework. Design/methodology/approach – Quantitative research method has been applied in the research. In the study, "Cyberloafing Scale" created by Örücü and Yildiz (2014), Schaufeli et al. (2002), "Work Engagement Scale" which has been translated into Turkish by Eryılmaz and Doğa (2012), and "Job Performance" scales created by Sigler and Pearson (2000) have been used. Data have been obtained from the sample through the questionnaire form. The universe of the research consists of 420 employees of a firm operating in informatics in Konya. The sampling frame consists of the usable questionnaire received from 383 employees in this firm. Confirmation factor analysis, correlation analysis, and structural equation model analysis have been applied to the obtained data using SPSS and AMOS programs, and various results have been obtained. Findings – According to the research findings, while cyberloafing has a significant and negative effect on work engagement, there is no significant effect on job performance. It has been determined that work engagement has a significant positive effect on job performance. On the other hand, work engagement does not play a mediating role in the effect of cyberloafing on work performance. Discussion – As a result of the literature review, it has been seen that cyberloafing is a destructive and deviant type of behavior. In this context, a hypothesis has been built that cyberloafing will have a negative effect on job performance and work engagement and that work engagement will have a positive effect on job performance. In the research findings, a positive effect of employees' work engagement on their job performance has been determined. Also, the expected result of the study is that cyberloafing has a negative effect on work engagement. On the other hand, cyberloafing does not affect job performance. Besides, the lack of a mediator effect of work engagement in the relationship between cyberloafing and work performance is considered a result of inconsistent results in the published literature.

Regulation of Work Breaks in Hungary with a European Perspective

Regulation of Work Breaks in Hungary with a European Perspective

Author(s): Róbert Román / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2021

Keywords: working hours; work break; employee; working day; holiday; rest day;

The basis for the review of the Hungarian and European rules of the rest break during the working day was the fact that there was a lawsuit to establish the illegitimacy of termination, in which I represented the plaintiff. The reason for the summary dismissal on the part of the employer was that the employee was playing cards while on a rest break during the working day. In his action, the plaintiff sought a declaration that his employer had unlawfully terminated his employment. By the judgment of the Court of First Instance, the action was dismissed, and the plaintiff was ordered to bear the court costs. By the judgment of the Court of Law proceeding by the plaintiff’s appeal, the judgement was reversed, and it ordered the defendant to pay the plaintiff severance pay as well as compensation. The defendant presented an application for review, which was not upheld. After completing the matters of fact, the Court of Appeal correctly stated that, at the time of the inspection, the plaintiff availed himself of a rest break during the working day, which was lawful; moreover, it was not disputed by the defendant. The Court of Appeal rightly concluded that the employer may prohibit the employee from playing cards during breaks in the workplace, but this must be communicated unequivocally to him, and this expectation must be consequently carried out. The Court of Appeal also rightly pointed out that in the case of explicit prohibition of some behaviours, employees must also be informed of the legal consequences, which are applicable in case of infringement of the rule. However, in the present case, this was not established, so that the lawsuit ended with the full recovery of a favourable judgment of the employee plaintiff at the Supreme Court of Justice.

Armenia in Ptolemy’s Geography (ca. AD 150): A “Parody” of His Work? Some Corrections and Suggestions

Author(s): Klaus Geus / Language(s): English / Issue: 28/2021

Keywords: Ptolemy; ancient Armenia; ancient geography; cartography

Ptolemyʾs Geographike Hyphegesis (Introduction to Geography) (ca. AD 150) consists of a huge and invaluable stock of topographical information. More than 6,000 toponyms are even defined by coordinates. Nevertheless, Ptolemyʾs cities are often misplaced or pop up more than once in his maps. This is especially true with his confusing description of Armenia (geogr. 5.13), which caused a modern scholar to call it a ‘parody’ of his work and method. This paper aims at clarifying the basic error in all of Ptolemyʾs coordinates and proposes some explanations and corrections for his Armenian toponyms.

Algılanan Örgütsel Destek ile İş Yaşamında Mutluluk İlişkisinde Yaş ve İş Yaşam Dengesinin Rolü

Author(s): Senem Altan,Ömer Turunç / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 3/2021

Keywords: Perceived organizational support; Happiness at work; Hedonic happiness; Eudaimonic happiness; Work-life balance;

Purpose – In this study, the moderator role of work-life balance and age in the relationship between perceived organizational support and happiness at work was investigated. Happiness at work was included in the research model in two dimensions, as hedonic and eudaimonic happiness. Design/methodology/approach – The research was conducted on 412 employees working in a metropolitan municipality and its subsidiaries. The obtained data were used to empirically test the theoretical model developed in the study. Hypotheses were tested by hierarchical regression analysis method. Findings – According to the results of the research, there is a significant relationship between perceived organizational support, hedonic and eudaimonic happiness. In addition, it has been determined that work-life balance does not have a moderator role in the relationship between perceived organizational support and happiness at work. Age has been found to have a moderator role in the relationship between perceived organizational support and negative emotions. Discussion – The study reveals the moderator role of age and work-life balance in the relationship between perceived organizational support and happiness at work. The research results contribute to the organizational behavior literature.

Overtime work. The condition of the employer’s initiative of demanding overtime work by the employee

Munca suplimentară. Condiţia iniţiativei angajatorului pentru prestarea orelor suplimentare de către salariat

Author(s): Mircea Dub / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 1/2018

Keywords: overtime; employer agreement; work efficiency; normal working time; burden of proof;

In order to qualify the hours worked outside normal working hours as overtime work, it is essential that the employer has the initiative of demanding overtime work by the employee. Should the latter claim that such a request was made by the employer, the burden of proof lies with the employee, under Article 287 of the Labor Code.

The Impact of Parents’ Work Migration on the Social, Communication and Educational Experiences of Left-Behind Adolescents

The Impact of Parents’ Work Migration on the Social, Communication and Educational Experiences of Left-Behind Adolescents

Author(s): Georgiana Udrea,Gabriela Guiu / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2022

Keywords: parental work migration; school performance; learning agency; new communication technologies; Romanian migrants; transnational families

Parental work migration can pose important risks for adolescents, such as joining inappropriate peer-groups, poor results in education or school drop-out. It can also facilitate positive changes in young people’s behaviour, as many become aware of the sacrifices their parents make to provide them with a better lifestyle and education and behave responsibly in return. Given that the literature highlights both negative and positive transformations related to parents’ migration, our aim is to address the impact of migration on adolescents left behind in rural Romania from their own perspective. We focus on teenagers’ experiences of separation from their mother, father or both, in different situations (family life, communication and relationships, caring and concern for others, school achievements, future migration plans). Young people’s agency – their capacity to self-educate and organise themselves to perform well at school and in everyday activities following parental migration – is less studied in Romania. Thus, in addition to making the reality of these adolescents better known, our approach provides information that can be turned into policy solutions aimed at improving their life quality.

Students' entrepreneurial attitudes: does the integrated Learning model based on tri dharma in entrepreneurship education work?

Author(s): Dewi Amaliah Nafiati,Sukirno Sukirno,Endang Mulyani / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2023

Keywords: entrepreneurial attitude; entrepreneurship education; Tri Dharma education; integrated education; learning models;

The role of entrepreneurship education is urgently needed due to the lack of entrepreneurial activities, the curriculum not being standardized, the lack of skills of the lecturers in entrepreneurship, and less collaboration among the practitioners, education institutions, and students. Therefore Entrepreneurship education has not been planned and integrated well into higher education's functions to develop student entrepreneurial attitudes. This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of the integrated entrepreneurship education model of tri dharma education in developing student entrepreneurial attitudes in higher educations. Indicators of student entrepreneurial attitudes were measured by aspects of student leadership, student personality, and student personal assessment and the research analysis through paired sample t-test The result indicates that the integrated entrepreneurship education model of tri dharma education was effective and can be used as an alternative learning model to improve student entrepreneurial attitudes. It can be helpful in the students to increase their entrepreneurship attitudes after school in the community. The researcher recommends further research to compare the tri dharma of entrepreneurship education model with the other model. It also recommends cooperatively formulating and implementing a fit integrative entrepreneurship education program to develop better students' entrepreneurship attitudes in Indonesia.
