RUGĂCIUNEA LA PREADOLESCENŢII ŞI ADOLESCENŢII FORMAŢI ÎNTR-UN MEDIU TEOLOGIC. STUDIU DE CAZ

Author(s): Monica Opriş,Dorin Opriş / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

The article includes the main results of a research that used the questionnaire-based survey as a method of collecting data from students aged 13-19 years, from the Orthodox Theological Seminary "Saint Simion Stefan" in Alba Iulia. The research did not include students from high school classes with a theological vocational profile and benefited from 237 responses to the questionnaire administered online. The analysis of the data shows that education in a theological environment trains students including aspects related to the pedagogy of prayer. Also, the data of our research show that through an education that values the role of personal prayer and of common prayer in the church, the differences according to gender in relation to prayer (motivations, states of mind that generate it, effects over time) decrease considerably. At the same time, the data show that girls pray more than boys, have a greater capacity to show gratitude to God for the help received, and feel the peace of mind that personal prayer provides to a greater extent than they do.

ABORDAREA TEXTELOR LITERARE LA LECȚIILE DE LIMBA ȘI LITERATURA ROMÂNĂ ÎN CORELARE CU ARTA PLASTICĂ, PREMISĂ A DEZVOLTĂRII IMAGINAȚIEI ȘI CREATIVITĂȚII ELEVILOR DE VÂRSTĂ ȘCOLARĂ MICĂ

Author(s): Marinel Negru / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

Traditional ways of approaching the literary text tend not to identify and explore the deep resources of imagination and creativity that each pupils possesses. Integrated contents through literature and visual arts should inspire pupils to explore and develop these hidden resources, giving them the opportunity to evolve and contribute to society in unique ways. Reading fairy tales, for example, takes pupils to fantastic realms, offers them the opportunity to meet different characters, portrayed in different situations and colours, and introduces elements that can inspire their imagination when creating art work. The condition to transpose a literary work into an art work, a meaningful excerpt of the text should be selected and read, the elements that the art work is to be based on should be highlighted, and methods and procedures appropriate to the proposed content should be applied. The scientific problem considers the theoretical substantiation and methodological instrumentation of the pedagogical conditions necessary to ensure the efficient interaction between the methods and procedures applied during the processing of a literary work in correlation with visual arts oriented to developing the imagination and creativity of younger school age pupils. The aim of our paper is to design a conceptual model of interaction of methods applied in the classes of literary text processing in correlation with visual arts in the younger grades of elementary school in order to optimize the didactic act. This paper is very important from an interdisciplinary point of view, but also to highlight, trough images and words, the values of interculturality at the geographical area where the Romanian language and visual arts are learned in the pupil’s mother tongue.

VALORILE MORALE ALE CERCETĂTORULUI ŞI RESPECTAREA ETICII DE CERCETARE. STUDIU DE CAZ

Author(s): Dorin Opriş,Monica Opriş / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

The present study analyzes the answers provided by 146 undergraduate (67.1%) and master's (32.9%) students in the field of educational sciences in Romania, to the question "Is there a connection between the researcher's moral values and compliance with the norms of ethics in research?". The study was based on a questionnaire applied through the Google Forms application. The data were analyzed by statistical methods, using SPSS. In addition to the basic statistical indicators (frequency, average, median, mode), we also used the results of non-parametric tests: Jonckheere-Terpstra (J-T), Kruskal Wallis (χ2), Mann-Whitney (U). The results show that the respondents who do not position themselves in relation to the question in the item (23.3%) have the following profile: 44.11% are aged between 20-30 years, 88.23% studied at a high school with another profile than the pedagogical one, 47% work in education, 88.23% have minimum work experience in education, 76.70% do not have teaching career degrees and the same percent are at the bachelor's level. The analysis according to the age, the level of studies and the place of work of the respondents shows that there are no statistically significant differences between the two groups of respondents. These research variables do not statistically significantly influence the relationship between the appropriation of moral values and the observance of research ethics. The research can be extended on a larger sample and on different countries, with diverse cultural backgrounds, to identify the possibilities for improving the university curriculum.

IMPACTUL POVESTIRILOR IMERSIVE ASUPRA REAMINTIRII LA PREȘCOLARI. O ABORDARE PRIN REALITATE VIRTUALĂ

Author(s): CRISTINA MIHAELA ZANFIR,Liliana Stan / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

Tehnologia de Realitate Virtuală Imersivă (Immersive Virtual Reality / IVR) crează un mediu multi-senzorial care oferă utilizatorilor o experiență completă într-o lume generată computerizat. Deși IVR este recunoscută ca un instrument eficient pentru îmbunătățirea învățării, răspândit rapid în ultimii ani, studiile care analizează impactul acesteia asupra dezvoltării memoriei sunt încă limitate în România. Scopul studiului prezent a fost să examineze modul în care IVR folosit în povestire influențează memoria la copii comparativ cu modalitatea clasică de prezentare a poveștilor. 30 de copii cu vârsta de 6 ani au fost împărțiți în două grupuri: în timp ce copiii ascultau povestea, un grup a interacționat cu conținutul poveștii în mediu virtual, iar celălalt grup a privit imagini/ planșe ilustrative pentru secvența narativă. Rezultatele au arătat că preșcolarii din grupul afectat de IVR au avut performanțe superioare în sarcinile de reamintire a poveștii comparativ cu copiii din celălalt grup.

Social Networks – A Tool for Cooperation of Bulgarian Agricultural Producers

Author(s): Georgi Aleksiev / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Bulgarian agriculture has gone through many transformations in the last two decades. The concentration of production and the difficult access of smaller farms to forms of public support led to their unequal competitive position. Some owners of such small farms began to seek support and advice from other producers, exchange experiences and organize joint actions. Social networks are also used for these new forms of cooperation, as a popular tool for building groups and communication between their members. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the models for the application of social networks as a tool for the cooperation of agricultural producers in Bulgaria. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to solve the following tasks: to assess the need for producers to cooperate; to analyze the implemented traditional forms of cooperation in the country, revealing their deficiencies; to consider specific examples of the application of social networks, as a tool for cooperation of producers from the agriculture sector in Bulgaria. Social networks, or social media platforms have been a focus of analysis since their launch and in later years some meta studies and literature reviews have attempted to organize and structure most of the previously done research on the topic (Ali, et al. 2023; Ibrahim, 2022). In these studies, the five main topics of discussion have been: social media, social collaboration, social marketing, social media and crowdfunding, and social media and crowdsourcing. Social media as a tool for crowdsourcing can be used by different stakeholders to share crucial information (Clark, et al., 2023) and in those cases a cooperation among social actors can be built. The negative effects of social media on traditional network-building have also been explored by some authors, that put forward concerns about the differentiation of goals between social media platforms and their userbase, that can lead to degradation of social cohesion (González‐Bailón, et al., 2023). Although being critical, those researchers can’t deny that social media platforms are granting opportunities that would be absent without them. Furthermore, if academics have access to social media analytics tools a more in-depth analysis of information sharing and social impact can be developed (Horng, et al., 2023). The lack of access to such tools for the current research has led to the selection of included observation for the analysis of the application of social networks as a tool for the cooperation of agricultural producers in Bulgaria. Social media interactions remain an understudied topic in the country and its relevance as a cooperation building tool remains to be proven.

EDUCAȚIA RELIGIOASĂ ÎN BULGARIA DUPĂ 1990. PARTICULARITĂȚI ȘI PROVOCĂRI

Author(s): Andrian Aleksandrov / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

After 1990, Bulgaria entered a new era profoundly shaped by democratic and social changes. Until that point, the communist regime had suppressed religious education for nearly five decades, enforcing a system based on atheism. In this context, the reintegration of religious education encounters numerous challenges, including the pronounced secularization of society, the cultural legacy of atheism, and the absence of public consensus on the necessity of religious education. Although Bulgaria's legal framework supports religious freedom, religious education remains optional and is offered in a limited number of schools. The strained relationship between the Church and the State, coupled with the optional nature of the subject and the administrative difficulties faced by teachers of religion, adversely impacts the implementation of religious education. This article analyzes these issues and underscores the need for additional efforts to strengthen religious education, acknowledge religious identity, and integrate it into an increasingly diverse Bulgarian society.

Scenarios for the Development of Agricultural Cooperatives in Bulgaria until 2027

Author(s): Angel Sarov / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

After Bulgaria's integration into the European Union (EU) in 2007, restructuring processes in agricultural cooperatives continue. One of the main statistical categories, providing information on how cooperative structures are changing and what will be the future direction of development, is the production structure. Despite measures to support farmers' incomes under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of the EU, the number of agricultural cooperatives is decreasing. The purpose of this article is to forecast the main trends in the development of agricultural cooperatives in Bulgaria until 2027. A linear scenario model is applied and the sensitivity of the selected indicators is identified under certain assumptions about changes in the independent variables. The selection of indicators is based on available statistical information. They are proposed with a view to finding the optimal opportunity provided by the data for their inclusion in the established econometric model and the calculation of forecasts (prospective forecasts of the change in cultivated land and the number of cooperatives). According to the model's estimate, agricultural cooperatives will continue to decline until 2027, despite expectations of an overall increase in the utilized agricultural area, arable land and permanent crops in general. When developing the realistic scenario, the experts assume that at the end of 2027, the land structure and the number of agricultural cooperatives existing until 2020 will be preserved. When constructing the pessimistic and optimistic scenario, it is noticeable that the index's range of variation is within 0.35 to 0.76 compared to the base period. The pessimistic scenario for the future of the vineyards has the highest rating. The average ratings of the three scenarios are average (moderate performance) as follows – pessimistic with 0.50, moderate – 0.46, and the highest rating is the optimistic scenario – 0.54. The forecast is to limit permanently grassed areas. With one of the highest ratings is the pessimistic scenario of the lands with vine plantations, which indicates an expectation to continue the existing trend of decreasing vines.

The Cooperatives In Bulgaria – Past and Present

Author(s): Todorka Atanassova,Ivanka Stoycheva / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

In Bulgaria, the emergence of modern cooperatives as a social business model dates back to the end of the 19th century. Cooperatives develop over time a variety of specific models based on theirdifferent subject of activity. Given the wide scope of the researched topic, we limit the purpose of the scientific development to the study of the spread of cooperatives in the economic life of Bulgaria, analyzing their characteristics manifested in the current century, looking for a connection with the period of their emergence, in order to explain certain trends in their development. The methodological approach used is based on statistical groupings of a large array of official data on cooperatives registered in the Commercial Register of Bulgaria from 2005 to the current year. Selected indicators reflecting in the development of cooperatives by planning areas, economic sectors, annual revenues, etc. are established. Through the historical analysis, individual moments of the birth of the first Bulgarian cooperatives are revealed. Results: In Bulgaria, cooperatives were first born in the villages to meet the needs of the local population, and then cooperatives appeared in the cities. This process in our country is the opposite of other countries in Europe with a more developed market economy.; Due to the agrarian direction of development of the Bulgarian economy at the end of the 19th century, the first type of cooperatives built were agricultural credit cooperatives in the villages. Years after them, at the beginning of the 20th century, consumer cooperatives appeared, followed by the popular urban banks, as well as some professional cooperatives/associations.; In Bulgaria, the cooperative as a legal organizational form is widespread in almost all economic sectors of the national economy. Its role is dominant, however, in two sectors: A. „Agriculture, forestry and fisheries“ and G. „Trade, repair of cars and motorcycles“; The activity of the Bulgarian cooperatives is low-profit; In regional terms, the largest number of functioning cooperatives is in the South Central region, with a dominant location in the Plovdiv and Haskovo areas for almost all economic sectors, followed by the Southeast region, where the Stara Zagora area has a leading position. In the conditions of modern challenges and heterogeneous problems, the study of cooperatives in Bulgaria must continue and be upgraded in order to find answers to many questions related to their past and future development. Finding an answer to the problematic aspects in their development is important not only to enrich the theory, but also above all to support the cooperative practice in our country.

CUM SĂ TE ,,ÎNDRĂGOSTEȘTI” DE GRAMATICA LIMBII ROMÂNE? PREDAREA TIMPURILOR VERBALE STUDENȚILOR STRĂINI DIN ANUL PREGĂTITOR DE LIMBA ROMÂNĂ. STRATEGII TEORETICE ȘI DIDACTICE (II)

Author(s): Silviu-Constantin Mihăilă / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

This study represents a continuation of our research published last year on the Teaching of the Subjunctive Mood, Present Tense, at the “Education in the Perspective of Values” conference, which had two parts: a first theoretical part (focusing on mapping the teaching methodology, specialized bibliography, and the theoretical-practical premises from which we start) and a practical part that inventoried the category of verbs that end in “a” in the infinitive, along with the five major subclasses and the corresponding exceptions. Furthermore, the present study, which represents the second part of our research, considers the grammatical rules for teaching the Subjunctive Mood for verb categories that end in “î” and “e” in the infinitive (presentation of the conjugation rule, verb endings, and examples), as well as a list of the most important irregular verbs for each category.

SEMNIFICAȚIA COMPORTAMENTULUI RELIGIOS ÎN VIAȚA OMULUI MODERN. ELEMENTE DE PSIHOLOGIE RELIGIOASĂ

Author(s): MIHAELA OROS / Language(s): Romanian Publication Year: 0

In the literature, there are several definitions of the psychology of religion, which shows us a permanent concern about it, even an attempt to define its object of study. Thus, some of them define the psychology of religion as the science of the soul, the psychic, which studies the connection between man and God or Transcendent, with the emphasis on the relationship between man and God. This study has an exploratory purpose, to identify the significance of religious behavior in our lives. It was conducted following a seminar with a group of students of the Faculty of Orthodox Theology, Cluj-Napoca, within the optional course of the pedagogical module: Elements of religious psychology. The students were asked to define the concept of religious behavior, a definition accompanied by examples of behaviors practiced in everyday life, as well as to identify the role of these behaviors in everyone's life. What significance does religious behavior have for modern man? and What is the role of religious behavior in the life of modern man? The perspectives from which religious behavior was tracked were discussed in advance: Religious behavior as a way of behavior of a person, religious behavior manifested as a series of attitudes towards God, as an external manifestation of faith, religious behavior manifested as a series of attitudes related to religious worship, the Church, religious behavior as a set of ritual actions, as external manifestations of faith. Following the analysis and evaluation of the students' research, the conclusions were as follows: Religious behavior becomes the outward manifestation of inner experiences in a different kind of reality, which presupposes the relationship with the divine. The roles of religious behaviors, which derive from man's connection with God, are the development of a sense of belonging, the improvement of self-image, a good relationship with oneself, the identification of the meaning of one's own life, the development of spiritual life and, last but not least, a therapeutic role.

Assuming, even absurdly, that we could witness a utopian scene, worthy of the most terrible sci-fi scenarios, of the arrival in time from the past of a famous intellectual or scientist from a bygone era, say the interwar period in the case of our country, a period recognized as one of the most intellectually and scientifically prolific in Romania history, what exactly do you think would happen to that person put in front of smart electronic devices like laptops, smart boards, wireless connections etc? That person would probably the feeling of being in a crazy world or living a nightmare from which he can’t seem to make up. You could probably think that he would be a total misfit. And yet the reality would be that, after a relative period of adaptation, that person will become a genius of our days. Why? The present paper attempts an answer to this questions.

Small Island States, Climate Change, and The Law of The Sea: An Assessment of The Request From Itlos for An Advisory Opinion, Before The Decision

Author(s): Nebile Pelin Mantı / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The interplay between the ocean and climate change is gaining a new dimension. Small Island States are among the most vulnerable of all, and many island nations are struggling to escape the effects of the climate change, which accelerates the degradation of the natural resources that underpin their economies, causing sea level rise, which leads to the salinization of rivers and lakes and therefore, scarcity of fresh water resources, and decline of coral reefs and fish stocks, which are the basis of their economies and eroding coastlines battered by intensifying storms.

Конструиране на лекарско призвание в доболничната медицинска грижа в контекста на здравната реформа: „лекари-чиновници“ и „лекари-грижовници“

Author(s): Mihaela Monova / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

The article presents the changes that occurred in the professional autonomy of physicians, in the context of the health reform of the late 1990s in Bulgaria, through the example of General Practitioners (GP). The analysis of autonomy itself is not the goal of the research, but a way to understand how GPs (as a new institutionally determined figure) construct their idea of vocation. The main claim is that the autonomy constructed by GPs affects the way they perceive the vocation in their profession. That claim is analyzed through two types of vocation that are successively presented – that of the physician-clerk and the physician resisting the limitations of autonomy. The analysis found that the reform produced non-homogenized practices and a different perception of vocation among GPs.

Как конспиративната политическа идеология интерпретира пандемията от коронавирус? Случаят на ПП „Народна партия истината и само истината“

Author(s): Valentin Valkanov / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

Bulgaria has been undergoing numerous crises since 2020 – the coronavirus pandemic, followed by the war in Ukraine and its strong local consequences, and a political crisis with five early elections for National Assembly, all in a period of three years. In this social turbulence, new political parties emerged, one of which came to a particular interest due to its ideology resting on conspiracy theories. In a previous article I have followed the main narratives that members of the party presented during the fall of 2022 election campaign. Here I will further my investigation deeper into the conspiracy theories that were used to form these narratives.

In a dynamic situation where non-arable public land – a key resources, which has historically been at the disposal of the local population – is planned for concession for the development of a photovoltaic farm, a new social network emerges. A network, consisting of the two opposing sides – the investor and the locals from the two nearby villages, and the legal land owner – the municipality. In order for this conflict to be resolved, the local villagers attempt to position themselves as a potent civic actor. One that is concise and legitimate. In order to do that, they transform social and symbolic boundaries around themselves and around the land, by employing available cultural repertoires.

Сравнителен анализ на методите за изследване на импулсивното купуване

Author(s): Desislava Rusenova-Velichkova / Language(s): Bulgarian Publication Year: 0

In modern society, traditional shopping is increasingly being replaced by non-traditional impulsive (unplanned) shopping. For any business to be relevant, it should include in its marketing strategy a study of this type of purchases in order to achieve the desired sales. But here the questions „How to research them“ and „Which method is suitable for the purpose of the entrepreneur“ appear. There is no scientifically established uniform method for their study, and this is the complexity of this type of research. However, on the basis of the methods used by scientists and practitioners in the field, a comparative analysis can be made that will support companies for future research, including in Bulgaria. The future prosperity of businesses is tied to impulse purchases!
