Does Envy Influence the Enterprise Potential and the Entrepreneurial Intentions?

Author(s): Edit Terek,Milan Nikolić,Dragan Ćoćkalo,Sanja Božić,Aleksandra Nastasić / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to examine the impact of envy on the enterprise potential and the entrepreneurial intentions. This topic is not much studied, but it is important to examine all aspects of complex networks of influence on enterprise potential and the entrepreneurial intentions.Design/methodology/approach: The survey was conducted in Serbia. The subjects were students from 5 faculties, from the first to the fifth year of study. Collected were about 380 completed questionnaires. Correlation and regression analysis are the methods of statistical analysis that were used. The survey was conducted using three separate questionnaires: questionnaire measuring envy (8 items, 1 dimension), questionnaire measuring enterprise potential (18 items, 4 dimensions) and questionnaire measuring entrepreneurial intentions (15 items, 3 dimensions).Findings: Between envy and dimensions of enterprise potential and dimensions of entrepreneurial intentions there is a number of statistically significant negative correlations. This is more prevalent at the dimension of entrepreneurial intentions. Feelings of inferiority in relation to other people, the perception of having a boring or a bad life, has an especially negative impact on the entrepreneurial potential and intentions. Envy, which occurs due to the desire for more entertainment, travel, and due to the perception of the lack of fortune, also has a negative impact on the entrepreneurial potential and intentions, but the influence is considerably weaker.Research/practical implications: Some results suggest the possibility (however small) that envy, in some circumstances, can mildly encourage entrepreneurial intention. Based on these results, the recommendation is to recognize people whose envy is not strong and where there is a possibility that such envy can be turned into motivation. With adequate support and understanding, these people may be potential, future entrepreneurs.Originality/value: Determining the impact of envy on the enterprise potential and the entrepreneurial intentions in the case of Serbian students.

MEDIATISATION, MEDIATED COMMUNICATION AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) - SOME APPEARANCES IN TODAY’S MEDIA

Author(s): Plamen Atanasov / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Web 4.0, Fourth industrial revolution, Globalisation, Mediatisation and Computers:all of them have an impact on today’s social interactions. Their reflections on the way we think, as well as the presumption there is a form of artificial intelligence that affects human communication,are matters discussed in an increasing number of scientific and practical research papers. Our everyday life becomes increasingly dependent on the media, which leads to the problem of managing the effects of the computer-mediation in the Web. Unknown variables become an important way of psychologically influencing mass perceptions and beliefs in a desired direction. Artificial intelligence interferes with our meta-communication ever more frequently.In the present paper, existing psychological concepts are applied to a wide range of practical examples from everyday life, so as to explore the nature of some of the unknown variables faced by today’s media. Furthermore, featured is an, at least partial, discussion of the threats posed by overlooking computer-mediated intrusions in the mainstream and other media effects.

Ракурси към славянското в съвременните преподавания по антропология и етнология в България и Чехия

Author(s): Vladimir Penchev / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

This text tracks the development of Anthropology and Ethnology teaching centered on Slavic cultures in Bulgarian and Czech universities, from the XIXth century to the present day, focusing on their contemporary state. A detailed analysis is made on the teaching curriculum in different educational institutions, based on the comparative approach. So, we come to the conclusion that these disciplines are taught not only in cultural but also in linguistical majors. In both countries they are not, with few exceptions, widespread and in the Czech universities, unlike in Bulgarian, there are practically no separate courses on these topics. Another conclusion is made on the fact that in Bulgaria, the majors and master programs related to Anthropology don't usually include such courses, while they are present in the Czech Republic, although narrowed down to specific topics and historical direction. A third conclusion is that both in Bulgaria and in the Czech Republic, the majors and master programs related to Ethnology don't, as a rule, include such courses. Finally, they are best represented in the linguistical majors in both countries (although it is hardly to observe common principles), which demonstrates the preservation, to this day, of the "classical" XIXth century model.

Границата в антропологическа перспектива:акценти и преосмисляне на понятия

Author(s): Magdalena Elchinova / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The paper discusses certain aspects of the conceptualization of the border in Anthropology and, more broadly, in the Social Sciences. The border is viewed as a dynamic social construction. The focus is on the geopolitical borders – their spatiotemporal dimensions and their relations with the construction of political entities, ethnic groups and identities form the basis for the analysis. The major issues of discussion comprise the dialectics between space and social reality in constructing borders; the ambiguity and ambivalence of the border; the temporal dynamics of the border, i.e. the border as a process, practices, and procedures; the interplay between borders and communities.

SCHOOL DROPOUT IN VASLUI COUNTY – CAUSES, RISK SITUATIONS

Author(s): Sorin Mirel Ciolca / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Our country is facing serious problems related to school dropout and social exclusion, especially in rural areas. In some Romanian counties, these aspects have reached a worrying level, being necessary to take urgent measures, carry out useful activities and develop an action plan for social and educational integration. Vaslui is a disadvantaged county mainly in rural areas, where school dropout, difficulty in accessing education and social exclusion are alarming, being a case of extreme poverty, in last place in the European Union. What are the determining causes of this reality and the risk situations faced by people in this county? are essential questions of this research. Poverty, lack of jobs and ensuring a decent family living determine massive departures to work abroad, which negatively influences the education of children, who do not attend mandatory courses to complete eight grades. Due to real causes, these children are guided towards other existential priorities that contribute to dropping out of school for household activities, marriage at the age of 13-14, going abroad to their parents, etc. This ascertaining research was carried out over 6 months and used documentation, survey (conversation), statistical and mathematical and graphical methods. The research included a significant number of middle-school students (grades 5-8) from urban and rural areas in Vaslui County. The research highlights the reality of school dropout in a poor area of our country, delimiting its causes and risk situations in order to find out viable solutions to reduce in the future this extremely important social phenomenon."

ROMANIAN MEN’S HANDBALL VS. THE TOP OF EUROPE MEN’S HANDBALL

Author(s): Vladi IONESCU,Silvia Teodorescu,Cezar Hantău / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This scientific paper proposes a detailed game analysis of the Romanian men’s handball team in the European competitions, given that since 1996 it has failed to qualify for any European Championship. As well, since 1995, with the exception of the years 2009 and 2011, it has managed to qualify for no World Championship and, since 1992, it has not qualified for any edition of the Olympic Games. Even if it succeeded to participate in some international competitions, most of the time, Romanian players had a middling performance, being far from the European or world podiums. We have started from the theory that improving team performance involves a deep analysis of the game strategy, the efficiency of technical and tactical combinations used in attack and defence (permanently related to the opposing team’s game), and last but not least, each athlete’s performance in the competitive game’s economy. So, we carried out an analysis of the Romanian men’s handball team results within the qualification games for the European Handball Championship 2022, which were played in 2019. We also studied the matches of the teams participating in the 2020 European Handball Championship that played for the 1-12 ranking in Europe. The technical and tactical aspects recorded in each match of each studied team (Romania, Spain, Croatia, Norway, Slovenia, Germany, Portugal, Hungary, Sweden, Iceland, Austria, Belarus, Czech Republic) allowed us to identify the causes, limits and disadvantages of the tactical strategy of our national team."

PERSONAL CONTRIBUTIONS REGARDING SELECTION, IDENTIFICATION AND PROMOTION OF TALENTS IN FOOTBALL

Author(s): Arben KAÇURRI,Irakli QURKU / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The term “selection” has provoked disputes among various people, some of whom, for institutional reasons, defending the cause of a sport that enjoys great popularity and aims to attract all possible talents on the football field. From our point of view, football selection is not a unique, singular action. It has a lasting character and is carried out in several stages. The efficiency of the selection greatly depends on the quality of the training process and is largely conditioned by the way in which the particularities of growth and development of children and juniors are taken into account. By using the scientific selection process in football, the path to achieving remarkable (often incredible) performance becomes shorter. The selected individual undergoes a careful training process and tries to obtain maximum efficiency in the shortest time (depending on the biological potential). Also, the purpose of this paper is to improve the duration of the educational and training process, based on the improvement of the selection process correlated with the sports training stages in the football game. Selection and training have to be regarded according to the following training-type models: children, juniors III, juniors II, juniors I, which must take into account the criteria: health status, social condition, physical ability, body size, general motor skills, favourable motor skills, psychological ability, technical and tactical training, and game testing. We believe that, by contributing to the knowledge of the above-mentioned particularities, this paper eliminates the possibility of methodological errors that can have irreversible negative consequences."

STUDY ON THE LEVEL OF SELF-ESTEEM IN VISUALLY IMPAIRED STUDENTS

Author(s): Valentin Claudiu Luca,Liliana Mihăilescu / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The purpose of the research was to investigate the level of self-esteem in visually impaired children in order to determine, together with investigations on other levels (health, psychomotor ability, physical development), the level of their quality of life compared to children of the same age without impairments. The self-esteem level was investigated using the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory on a sample of 30 participants from the Special Secondary School for Visually Impaired Students in Bucharest, with an average age of 11 years. The applied test represents a modern psychometric instrument, which has been validated in a variety of research programmes. It helps to better understand the students evaluated regarding their self-esteem by measuring the evaluative attitudes of the self in various planes of their existence. The standard form for students contains five subscales: general perception of self, social self-peers, home-parents, school-academic experience and distortion scale. Following the application of the test, it has been noted that the level of self-esteem of the visually impaired is higher, on average, than that of the average population of Romanian students without visual impairments. Considering the results, some decisions will be made regarding the approach to teaching dancesport to the visually impaired and, at the same time, we will be able to observe how practising this sport can influence the evolution of self-esteem in the visually impaired, as an element of their quality of life."

AGRESSIVENESS ASSESSMENT IN PRIMARY SCHOOL CHILDREN

Author(s): Vlad MUNTIANU,Beatrice Abălașei,Florin Trofin / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

We consider it very important to assess children’s behaviour and implicitly to understand their way of acting in order to find the most efficient methods and be a continuous support for them. This study aims to observe the behaviour of primary school students with the purpose of assessing their levels of aggressiveness. Being part of the educational system, as physical education teachers, we have always been interested in how children manifest in different situations during school hours. The main method used consisted in determining the 2D:4D ratio, which may have implications for children’s behaviour, and gather information about the students’ ways of acting, which was obtained by summarising the data from a questionnaire applied to teachers who had daily contact with them. The use of this method made it possible to monitor and measure their aggressiveness levels, the purpose being to intervene in the long term in favour of children with behavioural predispositions by implementing different ways of self-control. We will present some results of the study regarding the average value of aggressiveness, the mean deviation and the 2D:4D ratio for both hands: 0.983 ± 0.0410 for the left hand and 0.996 ± 0.047 for the right hand in boys, and 0.989 ± 0.003 for the left hand and 994 ± 0.039 for the right hand in girls. In terms of aggressiveness ratio, boys recorded 2.28 ± 1.33, and girls, 1.847 ± 1.103.

SMALL-SIDED GAMES AS MEANS OF TECHNICAL-TACTICAL PREPARATION AND EVALUATION FOR JUNIOR HANDBALL PLAYERS

Author(s): Cristina Romila,Silvia Teodorescu / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Tactical training is a component of sports training through which technical procedures are highlighted and learned, and their level of improvement is observed during the game. The purpose of the research is to develop and implement a training model for the tactical training of junior III based on small-sided games with variable dimensions of the field using information from the analysis of the tactical content of official games. As a result, in the tactical training of juniors, we implemented means of training and tests organized in the form of training games where we followed the individual and collective tactical actions of the players. The games had different themes and were organized with small numbers of players: 2 against 2, 3 against 3, 4 against 4, 2 against 2 against 2, 3 against 3 against 3, and 4 against 4 against, on playing areas of different sizes. The indicators monitored during tests were also recorded during official matches. The research subjects are the female players of the Junior III women’s team born in 2005 and younger from the ACS Sporting Ghimbav, participants in the National Junior III Championship in the 2019-2020 competitive year. The conclusions of the study provided useful information during the training process.

DANGEROUS SPORTS IN PANDEMIC TIMES. ANALISYS FOR CHILDREN’S PUBLIC SPORT UNITS OF ROMANIA

Author(s): Andrei SIMION,Doina Croitoru / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

In our study, we categorised sports for which there are public sports clubs for children organized in Romania – School Sports Clubs and Classrooms with Sports Programme. These are financed from the state budget and local public administration. Training grounds, auxiliary spaces, materials, and facilities widely differ. With this in mind, we have only considered the dressing room as an interaction space between athletes. We consider that training and competition interactions are different, but in most sports, there is a risk to facilitate virus transmission – including SARS-CoV-2. The list of the 41 sports practised in children’s public sports clubs was compiled. Private clubs were not included in the analysis, even though they had the same risk regarding virus transmission. For each sport, we considered the following dyadic interactions: athlete-athlete and athlete-coach, in both training and competitions, according to the rules of each sport. We also added the interactions between athletes in the dressing rooms and between athletes and match/competition officials (judge, referee etc.). Each interaction was subjectively graded with a number from 1 to 5: 1 = low interaction, at least 5 m distance; 5 = very close interaction, less than 1 m distance. The analysis showed that considering the current COVID-19 pandemic, organized sport is most of the time a dangerous environment for athletes, coaches, and officials, the most dangerous being the team sports. We believe that the current study might be of use in deciding which sports would be safer to “reopen” in the future.

STUDY ON THE EVOLUTION OF THE ROMANIAN WOMEN’S EPEE TEAM AT THE OLYMPIC GAMES

Author(s): Amalia Alexandra TĂTĂRAN,Silvia Teodorescu,Gabriela DINȚICĂ / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This study refers to the evolution of the Romanian Women’s Epee Team at the Olympic Games in terms of performance, but especially from the perspective of making up the team and establishing the strategy for addressing each goal-focused competition. The literature review reveals that one of the ways to increase both the quality of the training process in fencing and the success rate in team events lies in the team composition, but also in establishing the sequence of athletes competing in a match. Research purpose: The study aims to highlight the dynamics of the Romanian Women’s Epee Team through both a detailed analysis of the results achieved by athletes in their fight against various opponents and their comparison at different times of the matches. Methods: Bibliographic study, comparison, abstraction, induction and deduction methods, video analysis, mathematical and statistical methods. Results and conclusion: The sequence of athletes’ performance in team competitions and their effectiveness depending on the number of won/lost bouts, but also successful hits and recovery times were analysed based on the competition protocols for the Rio de Janeiro and London Olympics, and the performance of the Romanian Women’s Epee Team was compared with the performance achieved by other competing teams. The study has shown that, in today’s modern fencing (particularly the Epee), one of the most important factors for achieving performance in the team event refers to making up the team so that it can work as a whole in relation to the opposing team’s composition.

GAME ACTION EFFICIENCY ON VOLLEYBALL GAME STRUCTURES ACCORDING TO THE OPPONENTS’ LEVEL

Author(s): Nicolae-Lucian VOINEA,Gloria RAȚĂ,Alexandru-Rareş Puni / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Performance volleyball is composed of two fundamental game structures, namely: structure I (at own service), which includes as game actions the service, block, dig, pass and attack, and structure II (at service reception), which is made up of game actions from service, pass, attack, block and dig. This study highlights the differences between the efficiency indices of game actions on game structures at the Știința Bacău team depending on the opponents’ level. This is based on analysing the performance of the teams during the Romanian National Women’s Volleyball Championship, 1st Division, which consisted of 18 games, out of which 10 games with level 1 teams and 8 games with level 2 teams. The research hypothesis aimed at verifying the dependence of the efficiency indices of game actions on game structures according to the opponents’ level. The subjects of this study were the players of the Știința Bacău team in the 2017-2018 season. As a result of this study, we have found that there are statistically significant differences between the efficiency indices of game actions on game structures according to the opponents’ level for service (p = 0.047) and dig (p = 0.006) in structure I and for attack (p = 0.015) in structure II, which confirms the hypothesis of our research.

PROJECT-BASED LEARNING FOR INCREASED STUDENT ENGAGEMENT

Author(s): Michael K. Daugherty / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Project-based learning is an inquiry-based teaching method which utilizes student projects as the primary vehicle for delivering and reinforcing content, course goals, objectives and learning experiences. While many teachers include projects in their courses, not all teachers practice project-based learning. Traditional approaches to teaching use didactic methods where the teacher assumes the primary role of knowledge provider. The teacher delivers lecture-based content to the students who spend most of the instructional time listening and recording notes. Project-based learning, in contrast, allows the teacher and student to assume the role of knowledge provider and the learning is reinforced through student or team work on a project associated with and driven by the content. This manuscript presents a reasoned list of the principles of project-based learning, as well as a comparison of project-based learning to other student-centered learning approaches.

LIMBAJUL – APTITUDINE DE COMUNICARE INTERPERSONALĂ

Author(s): Maria Georgescu / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

Communication designates the basis of interpersonal connections manifested by the ability to permanently interpret the meaning of social contacts made with the help of symbols and social-generalized meanings in order to achieve balance or changes in individual or group behavior. A complex and universal phenomenon, communication can be analyzed from various theoretical perspectives. It can be explained by psychologists as behavior, by sociologists as a determined factor of socialization, by anthropologists as a means of accomplishing and transmitting culture, by semioticians as a process of adjustment and reconfiguring the meanings of signs, etc. Living creatures communicate in one form or another, but humans are the only beings who use language. It can be considered a structured system of symbols - words - used to communicate meanings. Although the vast majority of people are born with verbal skills, language needs to be learned, and language skills improve as they are practiced and learned about, as are most skills acquired. Words are fundamental elements of verbal communication and have a profound influence on how we relate to others. Finding the right word can be difficult in the most common circumstances, but using language appropriately makes it easier to achieve goals in interpersonal relationships and beyond.

COMUNICAREA INTERPERSONALĂ – ELEMENT FUNDAMENTAL AL EXISTENȚEI UMANE

Author(s): Constantin-Cătălin Ifrim / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

Since ancient times, communication has been perceived as a fundamental element of human existence. The very etymology of the term suggests this: the word “communication” comes from Latin, “communis” means “to agree”, “to be in touch with” or “to be in a relationship”, although the term circulates in the vocabulary of the ancients with the meaning to “pass on to others”, “to share something with others”. The communication process is one of the indispensable conditions for the functioning and organization of society. The individual is called a social being and relates to the other insofar as he communicates with the other. Interpersonal communication is the most important and most frequently used form of communication. People cannot avoid this type of communication; their social existence depends on the ability with which they can engage in discussions with others. Family life, relationships with friends, professional activity, all depend on this quality. Interpersonal communication refers to face-to-face communication. This type of communication is important to understand yourself and to build your relationships with others. To achieve this, the capacity for self-analysis, selfknowledge, self-exposure and knowledge of barriers and disruptive factors that hinder the communication process must be developed. Not every relationship with a person is interpersonal. Most of the relationships we have with our peers are impersonal. In these interactions, the interlocutor is approached exclusively in terms of his social status or the role he plays in the given situation, without taking into account his individual features that give him uniqueness.
