Pimen Constantinescu

Author(s): Rodica-Maria Volovici,Elena Mărginean,Florin Blezu / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2016

In the economy of the library of the “Lucian Blaga” University of Sibiu Romania, an important place is taken by the collection of about fifteen thousand volumes, mostly in the humanities. These were donated by Pimen Constantinescu, the first librarian and manager of the University of Cluj Library, Sibiu Branch. More than 515 reviews can be identified as part of the donor’s collection: many of these works are literary magazines, fiction, poetry, criticism and other writing. The aim of this study is to present a history of this valuable collection, from its establishment up until today. The research starts from the context which brought Pimen Constantinescu to Sibiu, his personality, his concerns and his motivations. Furthermore, we identify the growth and means of organisation of this cultural heritage that was threatened with destruction under the communist regime. There are no studies directly concerned with the history of this collection. We will however try to find links between Pimen’s appraisals on Romanian publishing activities and similar studies. Although Pimen subscribed to the most important journals in the country, we will focus especially on those which are less well-known, particularly emphasizing those less highlighted by studies on the Romanian history of press.

Ustawa „Prawo o szkolnictwie wyższym i nauce” to szansa na drożenie modeli zarządzania prowadzących do sukcesu ? Konsekwencje dla uczelni akademickich

Author(s): Bartosz Grucza,Wojciech Paprocki / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2019

The article is an attempt to present two innovative concepts of or ganisational management: no-boss and decentralised autonomous organisation (DAO). Both could be used concurrently to effect a profound transformation of Polish universities. These concepts are discussed against the background of selected consequences of the so-called Act 2.0 and the first stage of its implementation by academic institutions. The authors refer to the third mission of the university, discuss the attitudes and the situation of the academic teacher employed in a research-and-teaching position, and characterise the role of the university council. Using the potential of Act 2.0, the no-boss concept, and the DAO model, the academic community in Poland has an opportunity to advance from routine to creative activity. As a result, the necessary transformation of universities would take place, without which it will be impossible to achieve the goal set by the public authorities.

Медиите: между свободата и технологиите

Author(s): Simeon Vassilev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2021

The Internet and social networks have become a shelter for the media, as paper once was for books and newspapers; today, satellites provide radio and television with endless possibilities for distribution. Digitalization is the new means of information and, perhaps, though we have not yet understood this, the modern instrument of knowledge and culture. The new space-time continuum of the media could not exist without values such as freedom of speech and human rights. Human experience of the media – ranging from the "Gutenberg galaxy" to the "universe of the Internet" – teaches us that these values are not given once and for all, even though everything has become digital and multimediatic.

Author(s): Elena-Maria Schatz / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2002

Constantin Karadja is famous not only because of his collections of valuable antiquites, but also for his interest concerning the ancient books – incunabula. In the first half of the 20th century, while he was living in Berlin, The Committee for the Collective Catalogue asked him to realize a catalogue of incunabula from Romania. His list, including 1.470 copies, was not complete; there were some still unknown incunabula at Oradea, Iaşi, Satu Mare, Baia Mare etc.In the list presented in 1937 he gives us informations about incunabula found in Mureş county, at different librairies: Franciscan Monastery from Călugăreni, with 23 copies; the Reformed College – 7 copies; Teleki Library – 29 copies; Franciscan Monastery from Târgu Mureş – 1 copy.There are some differences between Karadja’s List and the Catalogue of Incunabula from Teleki Library, published in 1971, suggesting that he was not informed about all the copies that existed at that moment in this area. It is also possible that the incunabula from different librairies of Mureş county were identified only after Karadja’s List in 1937.

Analytics-driven approach to agile software product delivery

Author(s): Bogdana Boncheva,Penko Ivanov / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

Two key factors drive the software product delivery - the ideas for new products, and the latest approaches for optimized development. This paper focuses on the software development process and shows how data analytics enable innovation and efficiency in the delivery of a new product. The authors recommend the tools and techniques they have tested and proved successful in an international product organization within one of the leading media companies in the world. The presented analysis addresses the challenges of the standard practices in agile software development – continuous incremental product delivery and integration. This iterative approach implies developing and delivering features before a product, or even a product vision, are entirely complete. The method gains continuous feedback from the customer and adjusted revenue projections from the organization. The success of the approach relies on frequent and prompt decision-making by stakeholders from various backgrounds and with different skill sets. These decisions need to be well-informed as they drive rapid changes in the work prioritization and scope, and in the focus of the software development team—those frequent shifts in direction impact the delivery time and the quality of the product. Decisions on affecting the different elements of the engineering teams’ effectiveness rely on cumulative information about the teams’ capacity, lead time and throughput. This paper showcases how data analytics can drive prompt decisions and enable the necessary flexibility and improved efficiency. The authors demonstrate adapting the data visualization to the different audiences according to their interests and levels of expertise: customers, senior management, engineering teams. The paper advises how to choose the right data sets and make the correct assumptions for the data interpretation. The authors’ extensive practice shows these are the prerequisites to making the right decisions and delivering the impactful products that make an organization stand out.
