I wear two hats as I write this this festschrift on the work of Michael A. Peters: one personal as his partner and wife since 1991, the other as a professional and intellectual partner whom I work and write with from time to time, hence in blending aspects of both, this contribution to Michael’s festschrift is unabashedly an ‘insider’s view.

Continuitatea și evoluția concepțiilor asupra virtuții

Author(s): Ecaterina Foghel / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

Starting from the premise that any human activity is to be anchored in a definite ethical framework, in which virtue is always among the defining concepts, the present article aims to follow at what point various virtue theories developed by scholars belonging to different epochs and areas of study, are ideologically close. The analysis of diverse virtue definitions, classifications and concrete examples become well-known from Aristotle to Alasdair MacIntyre, should discern certain general principles of moral rectitude and means of life goals achievement. The tradition of the Aristotelian ethics and of the Christian moral doctrine, the utilitarian approach of B. Franklin and the virtue of practices developed by MacIntyre, do not exhaustively treat the concept of virtue, that is susceptible to get new traits and avatars in the context of the modern cyberworld.

Икономически ефекти от пандемията от КОВИД-19 върху работниците мигранти в ЕС

Author(s): Atanas Pavlov / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

Globally, the migrant workers and their families are highly exposed, both directly to the COVID-19 pandemic and the risk of infection, as well as to the consequent negative economic effects. Prior to the pandemic, more than 270 million people are living outside their country of origin, sending nearly $ 700 billion in remittances to their home countries. As of mid-May 2020, the 20 countries with the most cases of COVID-19 receive 55 percent of the world‘s migrants, who send 54 percent of the world‘s remittances to their home countries. The living and working conditions of both international and internal migrants make them extremely vulnerable to the risk of contracting COVID-19. On the other hand, the negative economic effects of the pandemic and the anti-epidemic measures imposed by the countries have a particularly strong impact on the migrants workers around the world, which leads to a decline in the migrant remittances.

Author(s): Diana Consuela MITU,Mircea NEAMȚU,Maria Tudor,Iulian-Doru TUDOR / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The purpose of this study was to investigate aspects related to the knowledge of the beneficial effects of practicing physical exercise on certain types of disorders, as well as the level of motivation of subjects to engage in their practice. The study was based on a 7-item questionnaire including the following: 1. Moment of diagnosis of the condition; 2. Doctor’s approval for physical activity; 3. Recommended physical activities; 4. Personal motivation for attending physical education classes; 5. Awareness of health benefits; 6. Level of motivation. 7. Awareness of psycho-social benefits. The study was conducted on a sample of 29 first- and second-year students from the three faculties of the “Carol Davila” University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Bucharest, who were medically exempt from physical education classes. Analysing their responses, we have concluded that: most students involved in the study (86%) have partial medical exemption and the doctors’ recommendation for individual and/or group physical activities such as trips, hiking, swimming, medical gymnastics, aerobics; there is a need to design special exercises and exercise structures for students with partial medical exemption, which can be performed in group during the physical education lesson. This is important for including this category of students in regular physical activity throughout the academic year, which would lead them to an active lifestyle; there is also awareness and motivation for involvement in group sports activities, during which socialisation and self-knowledge are obtained spontaneously.

ASSESSMENT OF THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION ACTIVITY CONCERNING THE OPTIMISATION OF INTERPERSONAL BEHAVIOUR

Author(s): Gabriel TUDORACHE,Liliana Mihăilescu / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The paper assesses the abilities of second-grade students for physical education activities, with the aim of developing their psychological and social attitudes that are necessary for their integration into the community. The design of the educational activity for the second grade, which is achieved through the means of dynamic games, aims at developing and educating psychomotor skills but also optimising the psychological and social attitudes needed to build the social behaviour of students. Participants in the research are 81 students aged 8 to 9 years. The sociometric method was used to assess the dynamic of the sociability level and the intensity of existing relationships between students in the physical education lesson in order to track the formation of their prosocial behaviour during the basic acquisition cycle. In this respect, two sociometric types of tests were designed (according to the model of Zlate, 1982), which were applied differently: a written assessment – a sociometric questionnaire; a written paper – the practice of the sociometric questionnaire, as well as a practical test – the dynamic game. After analysing and comparing the final data with the initial ones through the two tests following the didactic strategy, we can conclude that the interpersonal relationships between students have reached a level of social maturity in school, while the level of group cohesion is reflected in the unity of the group rather than the person.

Instrumente constituționale pentru gestionarea situațiilor de criză

Author(s): Grigore-Florin Popescu / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

The premise of this study is given by the pandemic of COVID-19, which determined the adopting of measures, at state level, which restricted fundamental rights and freedoms in order to protect public order and health. This article will show that the state has a constitutional nature duty to intervene actively through legal means commensurate with the existing danger in order to remove the imminent threats. Practically, it will be underlined that any restriction must pursue the protection of the general interest or the rights of other persons and must be necessary and proportionate to the need to do so. In this regard, references will be made to the exceptional situations, which are limitingly provided in the Romanian Constitution. One of these situations is the state of emergency, which was declared in our country in March 2020. A constitutionality issue proposed for approach concerns the competent institutions in this matter, in accordance with the principle of state powers separation and balance. It will also be shown that the idea of constitutionality is not limited to the regulation in the Fundamental Law of exceptional situations and measures intended to return to normality, but it also involves verifying the compatibility with the Constitution of normative acts enacted in specific circumstances. In this respect, will be highlighted the control exercised by the Constitutional Court over the laws and ordinances of the Government during the health crisis, which either confirms constitutional validity or reveals defects of unconstitutionality and provides the guidelines for remedy

Certificatul digital al UE privind COVID: garanții și riscuri în domeniul protecției datelor cu caracter personal

Author(s): Marius Catalin Mitrea / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally changed the global pace, leaving strong marks especially on the economy, people and interpersonal social relations. Faced with an exceptional situation, EU Member States have put in place exceptional measures to combat the pandemic, including by restricting fundamental rights and freedoms, to protect the public health. In order to limit the effects of COVID-19, EU states have restricted non-essential cross-border travel. The effects of restricting free movement have severely affected Member States' economies and decision-makers have sought the best solutions to speed up their recovery. Initiated by the European Commission, the idea of implementing for EU citizens a standardized document dedicated to facilitate a safe free movement during the COVID-19 pandemic has progressed from the European Electronic Certificate to the EU Digital COVID Certificate, passing through numerous filters, receiving adjustments and improvements. Presented by the Commission as a necessary tool for reaffirming freedom of movement within the EU and reviving the economies of EU states, the EU Digital COVID Certificate must respect fundamental rights and freedoms, including the ones regarding the processed data and their protection. This scientific study will identify both the safeguards and the data protection risks of the EU Digital COVID Certificate, analyzing the context, the technical measures on data security, as well as the operations on collection, registration, organization, structuring, storage, extraction, consulting, using, restricting, deleting or destroying the data collected.

The fight against the spread of the virus required urgent measures and the adaptation of the existing regulatory framework. The right to privacy, the protection of health and the right to the protection of personal data are fundamental human rights enshrined in and protected by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (EU) and by the Convention on the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and last but not least by the General Regulation on data protection - no. 679/2016 GDPR. The study addresses issues related to the legislative framework for the processing of personal data, including health data in the context of the COVID 19 pandemic, based on measures to protect and limit the spread of the virus adopted by EU Member States - especially Romania, as well as processing health data for the purpose of scientific research. The first part of the article analyzes, without an exhaustive approach, the issues aimed at processing personal data in exceptinal situations – the COVID 19 pandemic by highlighting an important feature – the urgency of the measures taken and balancing them with the exercise of fundamental rights. This part identifies some critical points and some solutions proposed by data processing authorities or european bodies involved in the protection of personal data. The second part of the paper analyzes the normative acts and documents without legal force in Romania and in the EU, adopted during this period and considered as relevant in highlighting the impact that COVID 19 pandemic had in the field of data processing. Without exhausting the subject of the consequences of the pandemic on the field of data protection, the last part of the paper is devoted to the presentation of Romanian jurisprudential examples to show that data subjects have become more aware of their rights when their data is processed.

Author(s): Cornelia Vladu / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the COVID-19 infection pandemic, classifying it an international emergency in the public health sector. The pandemic is a crisis of the health and socio-economic systems, its effects being lasting, demanding attention on several levels in all sectors of our society. The measures taken in order to stop and limit the spread of the virus and the repercussions on the economy and society have hampered the legislation and its initiators. Thus, a new regime was established known as the state of emergency followed by successive periods of sanitary alert with significant aspects of constitutional opposition. Additionally, the disciplines of the legal system such as labor law, social law, criminal law, competition law and contract law and sometimes even the civil law also had notable instigations. Thereby, the Government has decided to amend the Criminal Code giving criminal purpose to acts previously classified as misdemeanor offenses by the Emergency Ordinance no. 28 from 18 March 2020 for the amendment and completion of Law 286/2009 on the Criminal Code published on 20.03.2020 in the Official Gazette no. 228/2020.
