ROMANIA’S SECURITY CULTURE – THE HOT POTATO WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT

Author(s): Adrian Lesenciuc,Corneliu Mugurel Cosmanciuc / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2021

The Covid-19 crisis has been a flaws' indicator that every society is affected by, including Romania. The health crisis has been toppled by political turmoil and a concerning increase of the gap between the population and the ruling elites. This crisis is founded on disinformation, fake news, and the rise of the far-right. This paper argues that there is a need for political dissidents' direct involvement in promoting security culture and education in the Romanian society of today. The first premise imputed is that the ongoing crisis produced by the pandemic weakens the democratic structure of the society. Being a low-trust society, a vice inherited from the communist era, Romanian citizens tend to be skeptical about the decisions taken by their elected politicians and therefore diminish or exclude serious threats to national and human security. That behavior represents an obstacle to the well-functioning of the state and the promotion of the National Defense Strategy 2020-2024. A strong security culture would imply automatically a tighter relation between security services and the Romanian citizens, leading in the end to an overall better status quo.

Иновациите във висшето образование и ролята на регионалните университети

Author(s): Hristo Beloev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 9/2021

The understanding of innovations and their definition has been considered within the scientific literature since the middle of the last century and, depending on the field of interpretation, undergoes different definitions and understandings, which are often too fuzzy or unclear. However, regardless of the research field in which "innovation" is placed, it is always definitely linked to change, development, implementation of a new or significantly improved process, product, or service (OECD, 2005). To this understanding, some researchers add the processes of actual exploitation and commercialization of innovations (Dewangan & Godse 2014). This paper does not aim to examine in depth the definitive and/or procedural aspects of different types of innovation, nor to classify them. It focuses on the strategic understanding of innovation in its connection to the higher education system (Aghion, 2008) and its role in the intelligent, free, market-oriented, sustainable, and resource-responsible development of the regions. The main research methods used are the analysis of literature sources, comparative analysis of qualitative data from secondary sources of information, and case study research, based on the practice of the University of Ruse "Angel Кanchev" in the last 10 years.

Европейски съд по правата на човека и българската правораздавателна система

Author(s): Aleksandur Kirkov,Ana Andonova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 6/2021

Bulgaria ratified the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms in 1992, as such this European act has become part of our domestic legislation. Explaining in detail the differences and similarities between the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg and the Bulgarian judicial system, we will actually see how much they are similar. This is the purpose of the present study - comparative analysis in all aspects: territorial jurisdiction, legal jurisdiction, including procedurally legitimate persons to file complaints, procedural issues, stages of the process, court decisions and appeals. The first and most important task of the study is to get acquainted in detail with our European rights, as well as their judicial protection. On the other hand, the knowledge of the European judicial mechanisms leads to the expansion of our national horizons in a supranational perspective, to opportunities for professional realization outside the borders of the country, on a European and global scale. The research method used in the present scientific work is the comparative analysis. The methodology we refer to in preparing the analysis is based on a predetermined methodological approach and structure in conducting the analysis. The methodological approach itself includes a general overview of the legal framework, regulating the administration of justice in national courts and at European level. An essential feature of the approach used is to compare the two established legal systems, at home and in Strasbourg, at all levels, to explore links and interdependencies possible differences. Expected results: acquainting the Bulgarians with their European rights, as in case of violation of these rights, learning about the mechanisms for their protection in court. Conclusions and summaries: Bulgaria is part of the common European framework. As such, its citizens are Bulgarians, but also Europeans. Namely, as Europeans, they have rights that are guaranteed to them by Europe and that should be respected in Bulgaria. Failure to respect these European rights creates conflicts that should be resolved by both national courts and the European Court of Human Rights.

Синтаксисът като езикова онтология

Author(s): Mariana Georgieva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 6/2021

n our opinion, * `logical basis` and *` syntactic basis` are incorrect from a cognitive point of view. The subjunctive is a syntactic category and the qualification `logical` is an oxymoron, or at least a dissonance. In logic, the category is the subject. And since the subjunctive is the syntactic category, even more disturbing is the tautological * `syntactic subjunctive`. The article substantiates the cognitive reading of the substratum. What is new is the derivation of linguistic ontology as a category of the cognitive method in syntax, of cognitive syntax.

Интернационализм «аванс» в русском и болгарском языках: сопоставительный анализ

Author(s): Olga Barabash,Antonia Pencheva / Language(s): Russian Issue: 6/2021

The article examines the functioning of the international word "аванс", formed from the French "avance" in the Russian and Bulgarian languages. By comparing the existing semantic capacity of the concept of "аванс" in the Russian, Bulgarian and French languages, the article reveals the nationally specific components of the meanings of these lexical units. The correlation of the secondary meanings recorded in the Slavic languages in question with the accompanying set of lexical and semantic variants of the original French word is established. The authors come to the conclusion that the translation of the international word “аванс” from Russian into Bulgarian in certain contexts requires the method of concretization, while the reverse translation requires the method of generalization.

Публичната реч като лингвистично предизвикателство пред преводача и чуждоезиковото обучение

Author(s): Vladislav Milanov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 6/2021

The current article examines Bulgarian public political speech as a challenge for the professional translators and as a series of political messages addressed to young people who study at higher educational institutions in Bulgaria. The article analyses the perception of clichéd constructions as well as the models of speech aggression which are widely practiced in different discussion formats such as election campaign debates, parliamentary control, public debates on TV where important public issues are discussed. The observations on the presidential election campaign in 2021 are also presented as well as the perception of the political messages by the nominees. The main conclusion from the scientific study shows that both Bulgarians and foreigners face problems with the grammatically correct sentence constructions behind which there is a minimum of information. The study also confirms the hypothesis that foreign students in Bulgaria recognize a number of common features between the political speech in our country and in their home countries. The clichés and the speech aggression are present in the global political speech as a component which defines the models of public speech and Bulgaria is no exception from that. A similar conclusion can be made about the interconnection between political and journalistic speech where the following common speech features can be recognized: inability to listen to the interlocutor; politicians slide over journalistic questions; the “self” overexposure, etc.
