THE HOLY SCRIPTURE AS FOUNDATION OF THE ICON

THE HOLY SCRIPTURE AS FOUNDATION OF THE ICON

THE HOLY SCRIPTURE AS FOUNDATION OF THE ICON

Author(s): Florin Vârlan / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2017

Keywords: Holy Scripture; gospel; Saviour; apostles; icon;

The Gospel, this great news, reveals God to the world Incarnated as Jesus Christ – true God and true Man.The Apostles, the witnesses to and the beneficiaries of this revelation, confessed that „...which we haveheard, which we have seen with our own eyes, which we have gazed upon and touched with our ownhands – this is the Word of life… we proclaim to you” (I John 1, 1-2). The content of the new-testamentwritings is therefore based on the authors’ personal experience or, at most, on exact sources, and aims touse words as to introduce readers into the atmosphere of grace experimented by the disciples so that theythemselves become witnesses to and proclaimers of true Life, „in Him was life and that life was the lightof all mankind” (I John 1, 2-3). Therefore, the interdependence between word and image, between Gospeland icon is created. The Apostles saw the Saviour „face to face”; we absorb His words from the HolyBooks and we feel as if addressed to us and, through these words, we feel the presence of One whospeaks them. Similar to icons, the words render the Person present and also lead towards that closeness toThis One and that dialogue of the prayer.

IMAGO THERAPY AND ORTHODOX THERAPY ON COUPLES AND MARRIAGE

IMAGO THERAPY AND ORTHODOX THERAPY ON COUPLES AND MARRIAGE

IMAGO THERAPY AND ORTHODOX THERAPY ON COUPLES AND MARRIAGE

Author(s): Claudia Vlaicu / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2018

Keywords: Psychotherapy; Religion; Education; Psychology; Social and Cultural Studies;

The present paper presents a theoretical scientific approach of therapy for couples, basically focused ontwo therapeutic orientations with subsequent similarities and differences; on the one hand, Imago therapy,which is mainly a therapy for couples experiencing emotional disconnection and orthodox therapy forcouples, which is mainly included in a priest’s task insuring the balance and equilibrium for couplesexperiencing a marriage crisis. The psychological premise of this theoretical paper is that surrender ofillusions and fears in fellowship with others is at the core of life. The background principle of thisapproach is that Imago Therapy may be a natural adjunct of couples’ spiritual beliefs and theircommitment to helping each other achieve fulfilment in their marriage relationship. For more than adecade, The Imago Model in Action has been used regularly by therapists interested in this effective andnow well-known model of working with couples. If we look at the core of this model in action, we seethat the effect is merely the same both at the functional and psychological level. Both persons reconnectand reconstruct the emotional fundamentals of their marriage. Still, the significant differences appear atthe level of principality. For the orthodox perspective, the very notion of marriage as a sacramentpresupposes that a man is not only a being with physiological, psychological, and social functions, butthat he is a citizen of God's Kingdom; whereas the Imago model focusses on healing the childhoodwounds and reconnection which can keep marriage relationships fresh and dynamic.

MANAGEMENT OF 1977 SOCIAL AND RELIGIOUS EVENTS IN ROMANIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH

Author(s): Ovidiu Soare / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2019

Keywords: church; patriarch; Justinian Marina; Iustin Moisescu; social crisis;

The study analyses the social and religious events in the Romanian society of 1977, and the way in whichthe Romanian Orthodox Church (BOR) succeeded in managing them. The 70s in the Romanian societywere characterised by authoritarianism, which was felt in all social spheres. And the Romanian OrthodoxChurch was not exempted from this. In 1977 there were several events that marked the Romanian societyand the Romanian Orthodox Church. After the death of Patriarch Justinian Marina, the new Patriarch wasenthroned - Patriarch of the Romanian Orthodox Church Iustin Moisescu. Alongside these two importantevents for the Romanian Orthodox Church, another event in 1977 was the celebration of a century ofRomania's independence, since 1877. In addition to al of these events, we should also recall theearthquake of the evening of 4 March 1977, which left deep traces in the souls of the Romanians, event inwhich the BOR was also involved.

GOD-OF-THE-GAPS ARGUMENTS IN LIGHT OF LUTHER'S THEOLOGY OF THE CROSS

GOD-OF-THE-GAPS ARGUMENTS IN LIGHT OF LUTHER'S THEOLOGY OF THE CROSS

Author(s): Eugen Spierer / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2019

Keywords: heology of the Cross; Quantum Indeterminacy; God-of-the-Gaps;

Barbour suggests several possible relations between science and religion. I explain why these relations areinadequate and propose a different way of relating the two. Drawn from the cross theology of MartinLuther, it dictates that we frame science within an encompassing fideist system centered around the crossof Christ. I further describe why such a “Crucicentric Science” approach would solve the God-of-theGaps problem concerning quantum indeterminacies

LEARNING BY STORIES

Author(s): Monica Valentina Șerbănescu,Mariana DOGARU / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2019

Keywords: learning by story; creativity; freedom of expression; learning difficulties;

„In the beginning It was The Word and The Word was at God and the Word was.” (Gospel of John)Knowledge, tips, lessons - all were transmitted over time through stories from one generation to another,from one nation to another. Currently, the word that makes the story seem threatened picture and certainlyno stories, kids today would not be intelligent adults that we want to grow for tomorrow. Learningthrough story comes not only in the field of non-formal, as often believed today, but can become - andbecome - adequate support, motivating and creator of "wellbeing" for children who have benefited fromthis type formal learning disciplines in the field of sciences, arts, foreign languages. The research aims tohighlight the possibility of treatment with stories of various situations of learning disorders and anxietyoccurring in some children and are discovered in the early years of schooling, or sometimes later, andmanifests itself in contexts various school and family life. Learning by discovering, teamwork, practiceand evaluation methods were stimulating methodological research resources. Our conclusion is that"Learning story" proves most effective in most learning situations, even for older students.

BULLYING IN THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT

Author(s): Luminiţa Mihaela Drăghicescu,Ioana Stăncescu / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2019

Keywords: bullying; socio-emotional competences; educational relations; anti-bullying policies; antibullying strategies;

The bullying phenomenon is a reality of the current Romanian school, insufficiently aware by teachers,students and parents alike, both as forms of manifestation and as effects. Numerous studies conducted inthe European Union area highlight the tendency of bullying to spread and grow in intensity, aphenomenon with negative impact not only on school life but also on personal and social development.For this reason, in recent years, there has been a constant concern at European level to develop antibullying policies and strategies and to identify good practices in this regard, that can be disseminated toprevent and combat bullying. In Romania, efforts are still being made to raise awareness of what bullyingis and what its consequences are, the concrete steps in the form of prevention programs, anti-bullyingintervention strategies, appropriate educational tools are almost non-existent. Referring to this undesirablereality of the Romanian school, we aim, through an investigative approach, to analyze the extent to whichpre-university education teachers are aware of this phenomenon and promptly identify some of its formsof manifestation. The study circumscribes a quantitative approach, conducted through the questionnairesurvey, and a qualitative approach, materialized in the organization of focus groups with teachersincluded in the research sample

STEREOTYPES ABOUT BLINDNESS AND PEOPLE WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMNTS

Author(s): Daniela Rusu Mocănașu / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2019

Keywords: social representation; stereotype; disability; visual impairment;

Social representation of the abilities and potential of people with visual impairment are predominantlystereotypes, blindness being considered to be one of the most difficult and feared human conditions.Often the “sighted” people know very few real elements about the size of the disability, the education andthe possibilities of social-professional integration of the visually impaired, most of the informationcoming from stories conveyed in the collective mind, which create unrealistic, exaggerated images, manytimes in the fictional realm. The existing stereotypes regarding this category of people are both positiveand negative, the blind people being portrayed from objects of mercy, eternally unhappy individuals as aresult of a life marked by tragedy, to superheroes, people endowed with a range of mystical abilities,super powers, worthy to admire. Some of these stereotypes are still fund today in the Romanian society.The present paper aims to identify among the students of the “Dunarea de Jos” University, the dominantstereotypes about the visually impaired and the main meanings attached to the blindness.

Keywords: oral communication competence; interview skills; interpersonal skills; non-verbal communication;

Interviewing is an important part of the selection process since it enables the recruiters to discoverrelevant information which cannot be found in the supporting documents, such as creativity, spontaneity,enthusiasm, ambition, handling pressure and so on.

A MULTIFACETED APPROACH TO QUESTIONS IN ENGLISH

Author(s): Antoanela Marta Mardar,Iulian Mardar / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2019

Keywords: direct questions; disjunctive questions; indirect questions; indirect speech acts;

Starting from the fact that sentences are part and parcel of human communication, irrespective of thelanguage under discussion, and that their form and meaning may vary to a great extent depending on thespeaker‟s intentions of communication, the present paper aims at approaching the multifaceted nature ofinterrogative sentences (also questions) in English by taking into discussion possible definitions andclassifications of such sentences, their morphologic, syntactic, semantic, pragmatic and stylistic featuresand the ways in which (some of) these features favour a series of (common) mistakes on the part of nonnative speakers of English, in general, and of Romanian speakers, in particular. The ultimate aim of suchan approach is, on the one hand, to raise the learners‟ awareness with respect to the complex nature ofquestions in English, and to suggest a linguistically integrative approach to teaching questions in Englishto upper-intermediate and advanced learners, on the other.

DISCOURSE ANALYSIS IN SOCIAL MEDIA

DISCOURSE ANALYSIS IN SOCIAL MEDIA

DISCOURSE ANALYSIS IN SOCIAL MEDIA

Author(s): Delia Andreea Oprea / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2019

Keywords: social media; discourse; Facebook, YouTube; critical discourse analysis;

Texts, language, communication should always be considered in their social context. Texts do not merelypassively report upon the world, but they imbue it with meaning, shape perspectives and call the worldinto being. The relationship between text and ideology, and between the author and reader, appears tohave changed because of the opportunities of public communication that have been extended by socialmedia applications such as Twitter, Facebook, and blogs. Is also clear that new methods are required fordata collection, as content takes new forms, and forms of design, images, and data has to be integratedwith language much more in online than in offline. We use the term social media to refer to “Internetbased applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0”, where Web2.0 means that “content and applications are no longer created and published by individuals, but insteadare continuously modified by all users in a participatory and collaborative fashion” (Kaplan & Haenlein,2010). The aim of our research is to take into discussion different ways of approaching discourse analysisin this new online environment. Despite the large variety of platforms, some characteristics are commonto many of them. Even if processes and structures of the public are subjects to change, the forms ofdiscourse may be one of common points. Whilst the perspective on the system is one important aspect,another aspect is the perspective on the users who create the content. So, the three steps of the discoursehave to be considered: production, form and reception. We try to seek out new models that are required toaddress how the technologies themselves come to shape the nature of content and discourse.

HARMONY, CICERO`S PRINCIPLE OF GOVERNING

HARMONY, CICERO`S PRINCIPLE OF GOVERNING

Author(s): Ion Cordoneanu / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2020

Keywords: harmony-concordia; the dream of Scipio; virtue; reason;

Harmony is one of the concepts that permeate the history of human creation in varied fields: philosophy, arts, music, science, economics, politics, etc. It is a preoccupation of the Pythagorean, of Plato and Aristotle, and a governing principle theorised during the times of the Byzantine Empire. However, in Cicero’s political thinking, harmony is the foundation stone of the organisation and functioning of the republic as body politic, a political principle which reflects the principle of the entire universe. Somnium Scipionis (The Dream of Scipio), an allegory on the harmony of the universe, is the closing part of the treatise De re publica, by which Cicero, inspired by Plato and synthetizing stoic, epicurean and neoplatonic ideas, bestows his political testament upon world culture and advocates the cultivation of virtue.

MILTON AND ROSE FRIEDMAN – A STORY FOR FREEDOM

Author(s): Alexandra Lucia Teodorescu / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2020

Keywords: Freedom; economy; biography;

This paper investigates the personal and professional story of two prominent American thinkers, Milton and Rose Friedman. Based on their memoirs, “Two Lucky People. Memoirs”, we will connect the biographical aspects with the theoretical and philosophical ideals promoted by the Friedmans’ during their lifetime. The direct connection between economic and political freedom, the importance of the individual in the creation of society, the free market as model for human activity, these are all ideas shared and presented by Milton and Rose Friedman and we will show how their personal stories, of immigrant’s children, have come to shape their professional profile..

THE VALUE AND DIGNITY OF THE HUMAN PERSON IN THE LIGHT OF CHRISTIAN TEACHING

THE VALUE AND DIGNITY OF THE HUMAN PERSON IN THE LIGHT OF CHRISTIAN TEACHING

THE VALUE AND DIGNITY OF THE HUMAN PERSON IN THE LIGHT OF CHRISTIAN TEACHING

Author(s): Stefan Florea / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2020

Keywords: : love; consciousness; freedom; perfection; virtue, belief;

Life ruled by law and the legality of our culture have in common the oblivion of the right and the demandof saving yourself through your deeds. Life ruled by law deals only with individual saving, because itdoes not see the total good; it always balances, for its whole horizon is nothing but a changing, as it is thereport between God and human being. Love has every virtue and it is contrary to all sins. This is thesource of all forms of good. The one who has love is on his way to perfection. Between love andconsciousness there is a real complementariness. Consciousness is the instrument through which lawbecomes operative in our being. St Apostle Pavel underlines the fact that a pure moral consciousness iskept by belief (Tit. 1,15-16). Christian love that springs from a pure moral consciousness and heart iswhat God wanted from his creation, man having the possibility to take the resemblance with God, as hisnursing to “God’s image”.

WOMEN’S ROLE AND POSITION IN THE EMERGENCE OF HOMO SAPIENS

WOMEN’S ROLE AND POSITION IN THE EMERGENCE OF HOMO SAPIENS

WOMEN’S ROLE AND POSITION IN THE EMERGENCE OF HOMO SAPIENS

Author(s): Jacques Coulardeau / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2020

Keywords: Linguistic Phylogeny; Homo Sapiens Emergence; Women’s Position; Durable Media; Symbolism;

Homo Sapiens (HS) started emerging around 300,000 BP. HS, a long-distance fast bipedal runner had a29-year life expectancy. The ensuing physiological mutations caused the birth of long-dependentchildren. Their side-effect was enhanced vocal articulation. Linguistic phylogeny produced language withthree time-ordered articulations: 1- rotation vowels-consonants into roots; 2- space- and timecategorization of roots into stems; 3- functional and temporal specifications of stems into fronds. Womenhenceforth developed as spiritual members in their communities, hereinafter their place in the productionof symbolic cave and mobiliary art. The spiritual dimension of such symbolism must heavily be centeredon women. Around 45,000 BCE all over the world, HS communities who had migrated out of BlackAfrica between 250,000 and 70,000 BP developed women-centered symbolism for the first time ondurable media, though male-centered hunting weapons and tools had been produced even by previousHominins.

DECISION MAKING PROCESS IN THE PANDEMIC CONTEXT. PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACH

Author(s): Claudia Vlaicu / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2020

Keywords: pandemic; decision-making process; emotion; crisis;

The world is dealing with a health crisis unparalleled in this era that underscores a negative side ofglobalization. People have to face economic and psychological changes. The paper is intended to drawattention upon the importance of building emotional resilience to handle the actual crisis and itsdevelopment. Thus, it analyses what the emotional reactions of people are when making decisions in suchdifficult contexts as this pandemic crisis. Specifically, each of the seven steps of the decision-makingprocess are described along with the subsequent emotional reactions of the people (both as individualsand as part of an organization or team) involved in the process. The conclusion of the paper is that allreports that have been issued by governments of all countries rather urges to further decisions that shouldbe made in three areas: economic support, Covid-19 testing and the lockdown. Therefore, the decisionmaking process seems to be rather a work in progress within this pandemic context. At the emotionallevel, every step is experienced differently. There is still a common emotion that seems to appear at allstages of the process and that is anxiety. Up to some point, anxiety is functional and useful. It is humanand adaptive for a while. But beyond certain reasonable limits, however, it becomes exhausting anddevastating.

INDIVIDUAL AND SOCIAL HARMONY THROUGH EMPATHY

INDIVIDUAL AND SOCIAL HARMONY THROUGH EMPATHY

Author(s): Cecilia CURIS / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2020

Keywords: empathy; cognition, emotion; pandemic; harmony;

Empathy, a concept that involves an interpersonal experience is found in all aspects of the socialuniverse, especially in prosocial behavior, morality and regulation of aggression. In the contextof the major medical and social crisis caused by the pandemic, the need to develop empathicsocial skills becomes a pressing need. Anxiety generated by the threat of disease and death hasled to the emergence of paradoxical individual or social behaviors. Thus, by disturbing thecognitive harmony of the individual - irrational thoughts in relation to contamination and illnessor on the contrary the denial of the disease was destructured emotional harmony (anxiety,depression, psychosomatic manifestations) with adverse consequences at the individual andsubsequent social level. The objective manifestation of disharmonious cognitions and emotionsmaterialized in the manifestation of maladaptive behaviors. The present paper is an analysis ofthe two theories on empathy - Simulation Theory and Mind Theory in order to improve prosocialbehavior in a pandemic context. Studies show the significant influences of social and culturalfactors on the empathic capacity of the individual. In this sense, it is important to emphasize thatempathic skills can be learned and developed in relation to the environment and the socialcontext. Understanding the concept of social empathy is important by being able to provide amodel of thinking and action that opens new ways of contextual approach to the current situationthat could ultimately lead to alleviating the crisis and improving social conditions by adopting anadaptive behavior in according to the limits imposed by the new epidemiological situation..

PROMOTING NANOSCIENCE TOPICS IN FORMAL EDUCATION

Author(s): Gabriel Gorghiu,Laura Monica Gorghiu,Ana-Maria Aurelia Petrescu / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2020

Keywords: Nanoscience; nano-education; curriculum; formal education;

In general, considering a reasonable and relative periodicity, the school curriculum has to pass a processof updating and/or reform - in many cases, in strong connection to the nature and extent of the changesthat occurred in each educational system, but also linked with what is happening in the society.Nowadays, many opportunities for getting knowledge and developing personal and social affirmation ofeach individual are related to the spectacular advancement of science and technology.

EDUCATION IN THE DIGITAL AGE

Author(s): Elena Mădălina Savu / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2020

Keywords: COVID-19 pandemic; education; skills; challenges; digital age; online learning;

The World Health Organization has declared Covid-19 as a pandemic that has posed a contemporarythreat to humanity. This pandemic has successfully forced global shutdown of several activities, includingeducational activities.The COVID-19 pandemic was a forceful reminder that education plays an importantrole in delivering not just academic learning, but also in supporting physical and emotional well-being.Education and the acquisition of skills are crucial to solving some of the world’s most pressing problems.Education is a basic right that promotes other rights such as health and civic participation. It is key tounlocking the developmental potential of children, communities, and countries. An educated workforcecan help lift people out of poverty, reduce premature mortality, strengthen gender equality, and promotecivic participation. Children must also learn skills that can be flexible and adaptable in the age ofuncertainty and economic change. Workers will need breadth of skills such as literacy and numeracy aswell as the ability to think critically and to solve problems collaboratively. In the digital age, citizens mustbe prepared to respond to the challenges presented by globalization, climate change, health epidemics,and economic uncertainty. The world needs to urgently rethink the way education is done, how it isdelivered, and what skills children will need in a digital age to become healthy and productive membersof society. Many agree that the delivery of education to marginalized children must be improved. It isevident that online learning is different from emergency remote teaching, online learning will be moresustainable while instructional activities will become more hybrid provided the challenges experiencedduring this pandemic are well explored and transformed to opportunities. However, there is littleconsensus on how to do so in a way that best reflects the challenges and opportunities facing youngpeople today and on why education systems have largely failed to adapt to ensure that all children arereceiving the support and learning opportunities they need.

MATHEMATICS, THE "BOOK OF NATURE" AND THEOLOGY - GALILEO GALILEI AND THE FOUNDATIONS OF MODERN SCIENCE

Author(s): Ion Cordoneanu / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2021

Keywords: Galileo Galilei; Foundations of Modern Science; Copernican model; scientific knowledge;

Starting from the cycle of letters known as The Copernican Letters (1613-1615) and following through tothe 1632 Dialogue, I will attempt to outline the context in which Galileo Galilei’s work is constituted as averitable theory of nature research based on mathematics. Galilei rests on the principles of science toground his choice for the Copernican model, as well as the separation of natural research from theology,but his concern for a unified philosophy of the natural world is intertwined in his work with the dignity ofcreation understood as “the great book of the world” by which divinity talks to man in the language ofmathematics.
