VISUAL ELEMENTS IN BUSINESS COMMUNICATION

VISUALISIERUNGEN IN DER WIRTSCHAFTSKOMMUNIKATION

Author(s): Lora Dagmar Constantinescu / Language(s): German / Issue: 3/2012

Keywords: LSP (Business German); visual literacy; “logic images”; reproductive-productive language abilities

In the present-day living and working environment, visual literacy for business communication has become an important FLT-goal. Since LSP aims at preparing the FL learners for communication challenges and problem solving, as H.J. Krumm puts it, the paper starts with the general issue of visual literacy (with the specificity of LSP-relevant visualizations), and then discusses the didactic utility of graphs and charts in the class of the so called “logic images”. Thus the focus lies on the “language of statistics” in relationship with these laconic information displayers/conveyors, employed in various situations of information transfer. Purpose and ways of making use of visualizations in LSP (here Business German) obviously depend on their didactic function as stimuli/aids in oral/written communication. With “logic images” the problem of a double-coded communication is tackled, to which the L2/L3-foreign language learner are exposed firstly and mainly at instrumental level. Here these information carriers and visual aids prove to be useful in the strategic domains of vocabulary acquisition and (to a certain extent) text genres. With meaningful learning tasks, they can also help build up mainly beginners’ level reproductive skills, while for higher levels an expanded language awareness can be considered.

Liviu Rebreanu

Liviu Rebreanu - Corespondenţă. Un Rebreanu hăituit

Author(s): Dan Ţăranu Vatra / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 01/2011

Acum câţiva ani buni, la una dintre întâlnirile de la Tescani dedicate lui Liviu Rebreanu şi onorate pe atunci de prezenţe culturale remarcabile, precum a lui Constantin Ciopraga, Alexandru Zub, Dumitru Radu Popescu sau Henri Zalis (înşiruire vinovată, de vreme ce este incompletă), întâlniri admirabil organizate de oamenii locului şi conduse cu pricepere de Niculae Gheran, într-o scurtă comunicare având titlul de mai sus, avansam ideea creaţiei ca urmare a unei crize profunde de identitate, rezolvată prin împlinirea în artă.

Notes on the common use medieval pottery from Zimnicea, Teleorman county

OBSERVAŢII ASUPRA CERAMICII MEDIEVALE DE UZ COMUN DE LA ZIMNICEA, JUD. TELEORMAN

Author(s): Ecaterina Ţânţăreanu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 1/2009

Keywords: Romania; Zimnicea; medieval settlement; common use pottery; typological criteria; pots; special shapes; decoration

Together with the coins, the pottery from the medieval settlement of Zimnicea, Teleorman County, provide important dating evidence placing the main habitation to the second half of the 14th century. Widely distributed in the pit houses and domestic pits, the common use pottery is the most frequent type of archaeological find in the medieval complex. Although workshops have not been identified, the non-enamelled common use pottery from Zimnicea, especially the pots, show a well developed hand-made production technique, shape and decoration, that parallels patterns mostly used in the South Danube and North of the Balkan Peninsula regions during the same period.

Midnight in Kremlin. Gheorghiu-Dej’s Meetings with Stalin, 1944-1952, II

În miez de noapte la Kremlin. Vizitele lui Gheorghiu-Dej laStalin, 1944-1952, II

Author(s): Dan Cătănuş / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 3-4/2013

Keywords: Communism; Romanian Communist Party; Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej; I.V. Stalin; Soviet-Romanian Relations;

During 1944-1952, Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej, secretary general of Romanian Communist Party, had several meetings with Stalin, in Moscow. The discussions held with these occasions as well as Stalin’s indications to Dej played a significant role in the evolution of the RCP and the Romanian society. In spite of their importance, these visits are not fully uncovered. A reason might be related to the fact that historical sources are rare and contradicting. This study intends to clarify several key issues of Gheorghiu-Dej meetings with Stalin, such as the exact chronology, the subjects discussed, and the participants. In the context of time, these visits are relevant for the political leaders behaviour and for Romanian deeply dependence of Moscow.

Henri H. Stahl’s conception of historical sociology and the Bucharest School of Sociology

Henri H. Stahl’s conception of historical sociology and the Bucharest School of Sociology

Author(s): Nerijus Babinskas / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2010

Keywords: Romanian school of sociology; Dimitrie Gusti; H.H. Stahl; tributalism

The Romanian school of sociology founded by Dimitrie Gusti was a favorable medium for elaborating theoretic ideas. The school became a cradle for at least two prominent theoreticians (Henri H. Stahl and Traian Herseni) whose conceptions are worth of attention not only from sociologists but for the theoretically minded historians, too. We should keep in our mind that according to the methodological attitudes of the Bucharest school field researches were highly encouraged. It means that any generalizations, theoretic suggestions or entire conceptions produced by the followers of Gusti were solidly based on empirical data. Stahl started to elaborate his conception of tributalism in the 1960s. Coincidently, at this period the international discussion about the so-called Asiatic mode of production revived so the Stahl‘s theoretic ideas were well-timed. Stahl was not the only Romanian scholar who got involved in the discussion, but his conception was more original: according to him, tributalism should be treated as something different from Oriental despotism although there were some obvious similarities between the two. Despite the fact that the majority of Romanian historian community ignored the Stahl’s innovative conception, there were some attempts in Romania as well as abroad to elaborate (Daniel Chirot) or at least to popularize (Miron Constantinescu, Constantin Daniel) his ideas.

Variants of 'Third Serbia'

Varijante 'Treće Srbije'

Author(s): Tamara Petrović,Ivana Spasić / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 3/2012

Keywords: Third Serbia; First Serbia; Second Serbia; symbolic divisions; social cleavages; discourse

This paper examines different forms in which “Third Serbia” is being discursively constructed. This concept has recently been offered within the public arena as the alternative to the former division into “First” and “Second” Serbia. although the name is the same, “Third Serbia” is not one but many. They all share an explicit call for overcoming cleavages and extremes, which are pereceived as overdrawn, artificial, and/or removed from genuine concerns and interests of Serbian society. There is also a moral claim contained in this, since what is offered is presented as better and more correct than the previous dichotomy. The various facets of “Third Serbia”, their similarities and divergences, will be explored based on the analysis of a corpus of texts from daily and weekly press in which this signifier is found.

Negotiation within labor relations

Negotiation within labor relations

Author(s): Iulia Bădoi / Language(s): / Issue: 07/2014

Keywords: negotiation; social partners; labor contract; labor conflict; negotiation techniques

Negotiation is the process we use in order to obtain things that we want and are controlled by others. Any desire we intend to fulfill, any need that we are obliged to meet is a potential bargaining situations. Between groups and individuals, negotiation occurs naturally, as some have one thing that the other wants and is willing to bargain to get it. More or less we are all involved in negotiations: closing a contract, buying a thing, obtaining sponsorships, collective decision making, conflict resolution, agreement on work plans. Within the field of labor relations, negotiation can occur on the occasion of closing / amending employment contracts or in order to regulate employment or work relations. Moreover, used properly, the negotiation can be an effective tool for solving labor disputes, with benefits for both involved parties. This paper aims to present negotiating principles and steps to follow in planning and preparing negotiations and the negotiating techniques that can lead to a successful negotiation based on a well-developed plan.

Comments on the Human Bones Found at „Skulls Cave”- Cheile Dobrogei

Observații asupra osemintelor umane descoperite la „Peștera Craniilor”- Cheile Dobrogei

Author(s): Mihai Constantinescu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 13/2015

Keywords: Cheile Dobrogei; epoca fierului; epoca romano-bizantină; sacrificii; fracturi; Iron Age; Roman-Byzantine period; sacrifices; fractur

This study deals with the anthropological research of a skull discovered in the Roman-Byzantine layer and a skeleton (Grave 1) dated between the second half of the 7th century and 5th century BC, found at the entrance of the Skulls Cave in Cheile Dobrogei area, Constanța County. Both relics belong to adult female individuals. The analysis shows that the missing segments of the skull from the Roman-Byzantine layer are the result of accidental postmortem damage and not of intentional “cut-out” of the skull base. The skeleton in Grave 1 shows high incidence of caries and dental abscesses, healed fractures of bones from both hands (probably a result of an accidental fall) and a small osteoma on the right parietal bone. Some bones show signs of animal teeth, gaps and cracks that cannot be related to assumed beheading of the individual, but to postmortem interventions. This explains the partial anatomical connection of the skeleton, lack of the long bones of the upper right limb, as well as skull placement over the pelvis separated from the jaw. Grave 1 dating to a time when such discoveries are rare is also under discussion; some funerary ritual elements (placement near a cave, crouched position, presence of ochre etc.) are not specific to Babadag or La Tène period discoveries.

Lex mercatoria in international trade contracts

Lex mercatoria în contractele de comerț internațional

Author(s): Carmen Tamara Ungureanu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 1/2016

Keywords: lex mercatoria; international arbitration; applicable law;

Abstract: Lex mercatoria is a body of a-national rules, which can be used as the applicable law to an international contract, provided that disputes between the contracting parties shall be settled by arbitration. To analyze the application of lex mercatoria are clarified, first, issues relating to the limits of choice by the parties of the applicable law and the concept of lex mercatoria and, then, are treated two possible situations: the situation in which the contracting parties have chosen lex mercatoria as the applicable law to their contract, either as the only applicable law, or as complementary rules to a national law; the situation in which the parties have not chosen the applicable law and the arbitral tribunal applies lex mercatoria for the merits of the dispute.

CONFLICT MANAGEMENT. SOME PROSPECTS ON THE LABOR CONFLICTS

CONFLICT MANAGEMENT. SOME PROSPECTS ON THE LABOR CONFLICTS

Author(s): Iulia Bădoi / Language(s): English / Issue: 02/2013

Keywords: conflict management; conflict’s functions; sources of conflicts; conflict’s escalation; conflict’s reduction/resolution

Managers wish for harmony within their organizations, that the satisfied employees to work in well balanced teams in order to achieve the institutional goals without taking into account the individual and cultural differences, personal or group interests. Conflicts can be classified according to several criteria. This study aims to present the particularities of conflict resolution within labor relations. Starting from the analysis of the conflict concept viewed from several perspectives, including legal term, this paper aims to reveal the sources of labor disputes through statistical tools, to explain the development of the conflict and to propose solutions to reduce / solve conflicts. From the traditionalist perspective all conflicts are bad, being subsumed to terms of violence, anarchy, destruction, chaos, requiring major reality changes. Conflicts are seen as natural, normal, and cyclical from the human relations point of view. Moreover, inter-actionist perspective suggests encouraging for triggering conflicts because a group that is too long peaceful may become inert, listless and noncreative. This theory proposes to the leaders to maintain a level of conflict within institutions so that to be in the presence of a dynamic group, the manifestation of critical thinking, innovation and improvement of the human relationships’ quality.

THE ‘CIVILIZED WORLD’ FACING AN ‘IDEOLOGY OF TERROR’: ROMANIAN OFFICIAL DISCOURSE ON INTERNATIONAL SECURITY ISSUES

THE ‘CIVILIZED WORLD’ FACING AN ‘IDEOLOGY OF TERROR’: ROMANIAN OFFICIAL DISCOURSE ON INTERNATIONAL SECURITY ISSUES

Author(s): Raluca-Mihaela Levonian / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2013

Keywords: identity; Romanian official discourse; presidential discourse; security

International security issues represent a topic of foremost importance for a great number of states, especially after the terrorist acts in September 2001. Such issues strongly influence state politics regarding both internal and foreign affairs and, at a symbolic level, they influence the statal actors’ attempts to position themselves on the international stage and to legitimize the chosen position. This is also the case for Romania which faced a major adjustment of its foreign affairs strategy after the fall of the communist regime and in connection with the beginning of the strategic partnership with the United States. This study concerns the Romanian ‘official’ approach to the international security topic. The corpus is formed by 21 speeches held or attributed to the last three Romanian presidents, between 1996 and 2011. Presidential speeches represent a highly formalized type of institutional communication or ‘elite discourse’ in Van Dijk’s terms. The present study aims to examine (1) the representation of identity and otherness in connection to the international security topic and (2) whether there are any differences between the three presidents’ speech styles in regard to this discursive representation. The analysis is primarily focused on the role of negation and personal deixis as means of evaluation and positioning of the speakers in the institutional discourse.

On the distribution of early printed books published in Chişinău

Unele consideraţii privind difuzarea cărţii vechi tipărite la Chişinău

Author(s): Igor Cereteu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 2/2012

Keywords: Chişinău; old printed books; book distribution

The present article describes the spreading of printed books published from 1815 to 1830 in Chişinău. According to historical information, old books from the Chişinău printing-house were available in all localities of Eastern Moldova. But there are some suggestions that these books were also brought outside this area, both to the west and east, to places with the Romanian population. The books printed in Chişinău can be found in libraries of Russia, Ukraine, and Bulgaria. They traveled across all the territory of Romania, being found in churches, monasteries, libraries, and museums, especially in the area of Moldova. Further research in this area will allow a more complete study of typographic activity in Moldova of that period and reveal the contribution of Moldavian bishops to the distribution of church books.

Institutional Support to Work-Family Balance in Serbia

Institucionalna podrška usklađivanju profesionalne i porodične sfere u Srbiji

Author(s): Dunja D. Poleti Ćosić / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 2/2017

Keywords: work-family reconciliation regimes; institutional setting; family policy; work-family balance; Serbia

Work and family life in contemporary societies are profoundly shaped by the two mutually connected phenomena – demographic change and labor market transformation. Trends within these structural fields have far-reaching consequences, which place them high on the public policies priority list. Consequently, two of the key strategic policy goals of the European Union are aimed at combating negative consequences of population ageing and shrinking of the working age population. Pressures caused by changes in economic and demographic structures are not equally distributed along the lines of social divisions and particularly affect women. Flexibility of work arrangements, nonstandard working hours, mobility, as well as an increase of job and professional career insecurity contribute to work-family conflicts. However, many studies have confirmed that reconciliation of family and work demands does not take place in a vacuum, but is profoundly embedded in the given society’s contextual framework. Our aim in this paper to examine the ways by which the institutional setting enables or limits the reconciliation of family and work activities in Serbia. We analyze family politics, i.e. public policies and state measures which directly address issues of parenthood and provide support for “work-family balance“ to be achieved. An overview of institutional and legal framework in Serbia will be provided, followed by the analysis and interpretation of the data obtained in this study, based on attitudes, needs and expectations of the respondents.

FAMILY AND PARENTHOOD AS A CULTURAL AND POLITICAL CATEGORY IN MODERN MONTENEGRO

PORODICA I RODITELJSTVO KAO KULTURNA I POLITIČKA KATEGORIJA U SAVREMENOJ CRNOJ GORI

Author(s): Tamara Lepetić / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 3/2011

Keywords: kinship; family; parenthood; administrative policies;

Reviewing the usability of socio-cultural constructions of family and parenthood in modern Montenegro, in this paper I deal with the ways administrative policies shape these concepts in order to make them suitable for EU demands. In this respect, one of the main topics is the issue of new reproduction technologies which led to redefining the concept of kinship and parenthood, simultaneously questioning the concept of same-sex marriage and the increasingly significant phenomenon of adoption of children who belong to a different ethnic and national background. Significant part of this paper is dedicated to an analysis of administrative policies which will help me make an attempt at defining the way they (re)define traditional family relationships by introducing the new forms of parenthood.

Articles and studies on Library Science Published in the Magazine Glasul Bisericii between 1945 and 1989

Articole și studii de biblioteconomie publicate în revista Glasul Bisericii între anii 1945-1989

Author(s): Silviu-Constantin Nedelcu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 2/2019

Keywords: censorship; Romanian Orthodox Church; Patriarch Justinian Marina; Romanian Orthodox Journals; library science;

During the Communist regime, the Orthodox theological press was suppressed by 90%, and the journals which survived were subjected to double censorship. The State Institutions dealing with religious censorship were: the Ministry/Department of Cults and the General Directorate for Press and Prints/The Press and Prints Committee. There was also an "internal" censorship, or self-censorship. The censorship of the Orthodox journals considered the following aspects: 1) the text itself; 2) printout; 3) share of paper; 4) printing and broadcast approvals. The Patriarch Justinian Marina (1948-1977) supported the appearance of new magazines (Ortodoxia, Mitropolia Olteniei, Mitropolia Banatului, Mitropolia Moldovei şi Sucevei, Mitropolia Ardealului, Romanian Orthodox Church News) and reprinting of some old church magazines (Studii Teologice). He also supported authors who were forbidden by regime, clergy, theologians and/or lay people to publish articles in church magazines. Among the author bibliologists whose texts were published in the magazine Glasul Bisericii during the years 1955-1989 are: Alexandru Alexianu; Archimandrite Bartolomeu Valeriu Anania; Constantin Emil Bucescu; C. Cioroiu; Priest Gabriel Cocora; Ioana Cristache-Panait; Virgil Molin; Augustin Z. N. Pop; George Potra; Lucian Predescu; Aurelian Sacerdoţeanu; Dan Simonescu. Barbu Theodorescu. They published a number of 110 articles and bibliology studies in the theological journal Glasul Bisericii between 1955-1989.

Archives in archives. Cultural memory of the folkloric text

Arhiva din arhive. Memoria culturală a textului folcloric

Author(s): Nicolae Constantinescu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 08/2017

Keywords: folklore; folk-literature; history; archive; preservation; oral documents; monastic life;

The idea of looking for and finding out old cultural traces in the folklore texts is as old as folklore study itself. It is also true that the old scholars looked mainly for historical traces, in spite of a strong and vivid opposition of those who firmly rejected the idea of folklore texts as an archive of the remote times. However, the new vision over folklore as „artistic communication in small groups”, or, in my words, „[artistic] [oral] communication of group in context” opens new perspectives in this direction. This study selects a little part of the social and cultural life (the monastic space) as it is preserved in the folklore texts.

THE 2000 ROMANIAN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS – BETWEEN POPULISM AND EUROPEANISM

THE 2000 ROMANIAN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS – BETWEEN POPULISM AND EUROPEANISM

Author(s): Marius Mureşan / Language(s): English / Issue: Sp.Issue/2021

Keywords: Elections; Electorate; Presidentialism; Europeanism; Populism; Crisis;

In November 2000, ten years after the fall of the communist regime and the organization of the first free elections, the Romanian population was called to decide on the future president of the country. This was the first poll that took place after the transition between power and opposition, which took place in 1996, but also in the context of a serious economic crisis with considerable effects on living conditions, which marked the activity and political destiny of PNŢCD. The elections, especially the second round, proved to be representative not so much from the perspective of political options, but especially regarding the future of the country: open to Euro-Atlantic structures or isolated, oriented towards the former Soviet space. These visions were personalized by the two candidates, Ion Iliescu and Corneliu Vadim Tudor, and the present article analyses the electoral mechanisms the two tried to use in order to promote their platforms within a Romanian society marked by the economic recession, but also by a major moral and identity crisis.

ПОРОДИЧНИ НАДИМЦИ СРБА У БАНАТСКОЈ ЦРНОЈ ГОРИ. ОНОМАТОЛОШКИ ПРИЛОГ (XX ВЕК)

Author(s): Živa Đ. Milin / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2015

Keywords: appellation; name; nickname; patronymic; surname;

На мултиетничкој карти румунског дела Баната, Банатска Црна Гора се налази североисточно од Темишвара, а сачињавају је четири насеља, некада са српским, данас са мешовитим живљем: Краљевац (Cralovăţ), Лукаревац (Lucareţ), Петрово Село (Petrovosela) и Станчево (Stanciova). Најстарији писмени помени о њима потичу из XIV–XVI века: Петрово Село – 1359 [Suciu, 1968: 41], Станчево – 1454 [Suciu, 1968: 143], Лукаревац [Suciu, 1967: 364] и Краљевац [Feneşan, 1981: 94-95]. Податке о овим насељима и њиховом српском живљу налазимо у монографији Банатска Црна Гора [Перинац–Поповић, 1984]. У њиховим парохијама матичне књиге се воде од 1779. године. Ову српску етничку енклаву је у лето 1956. године посетио академик Павле Ивић и открио у њеном периферијском српском говору незамењени јат [Ивић, 1956]. У нашем раду је обрађено 350 породичних надимака забележених у четири наведена насеља у другој половини XX века. Аутор их је сврстао у три групе: деантропонимни, детопонимни и деапелативни надимци. Ови су надимци образовани од српских и страних личних имена и презимена, хипокористика, етнонима, топонима, апелатива итд. За објашњење настанка надимака од српских личних имена и презимена користили смо месне матичне протоколе, а за оне настале од румунских и других страних личних имена и презимена служили смо се доступним ономастичким изворима.

Functional Abilities of Children as Factors of School Achievement

Functional Abilities of Children as Factors of School Achievement

Author(s): Sanja Đoković,Tamara Kovačević,Sanja B. Ostojić Zeljković / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2022

Keywords: school achievement; functional abilities; younger school-age children; S.I.F.T.E.R. scale.

Understanding the factors which affect students’ school achievement is an important knowledge source for strategic planning and encouraging changes in education. In this paper, we focused on examining the factors related to personal characteristics. The aim of this research was to determine the relation between school failure and achievements in certain functional abilities, such as: academic skills (reading, writing), attention, communication (receptive and expressive speech), class participation, and behavior. The sample included 195 younger school-age children of both genders. Students’ functional abilities were assessed by the S.I.F.T.E.R. scale (Screening Instrument for Targeting Educational Risk). The results showed that school achievement correlated with all assessed functional abilities. The coefficient of multiple determination showed that 48% of individual differences in children’s school achievement can be explained by individual differences in the given model of functional abilities. It should also be emphasized that only two functional abilities, attention and communication, were singled out as statistically significant particular predictors.

Military Education – Between Tradition, Modernity and Finding a Purpose –

Military Education – Between Tradition, Modernity and Finding a Purpose –

Author(s): Maria Constantinescu / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2022

Keywords: training; education; resources; objectives; tradition; challenges;

The military education system is based on the experience drawn from many decades of trials, adaptation and reforms, derived from the specific context of their times, each with its specific advantages and disadvantages. Over time, attempts have been made to align Romanian military education with modern trends, but this process was faced with difficulties in combining the modern concepts with those derived from tradition, the concepts from abroad with elements specific to Romania. These difficulties have sometimes been accompanied by the dispersal of energy and resources into short-term actions that lacked focus towards a clearly established medium and long-term goal. Can it be said that the current regulations and legislative norms, as well as the models taken over time from the tradition of Romanian military education and other states, are sufficient to clearly outline the direction that should be followed by the Romanian military education system? The aim of this article is to propose an analysis of these issues and outline some conclusions related to identifying the future directions of Romanian military education.
