A complementary benefit of AAT is the augmentation of cognitive, affective, physical and social well-beeing. Multiple health benefits of AAT have been documented both historically and in recent special literature. However, further research is needed, in order to conclude on the indications and contraindications, client populations, illness conditions, mechanism of action, characteristics and species of animals involved.

- Keywords:communication; effects of communication; stages in the evolution of communication; political communication
- Summary/Abstract:This research started from existing debates in the literature regarding the beginning of communication, mass communication and political communication as scientific disciplines, all three areas having a common object of increased interest in researching the effects of the media. One of the main streams in defining political communication focused on researching media deals with the attitudes of politicians and their behavior during and outside election campaigns. Research on mass communication and political communication has become almost synonymous with concerns about the effects of the media.

This article discusses the problem of accessing the internet as a universal human right, as well as several significant ethical aspects connected to the usage of internet.

This research is based on a questionnaire applied on 91 teachers from across Romania.

Între tradiţie şi rebeliune: Iudaismul în scrierile lui Franz Kafka
Între tradiţie şi rebeliune: Iudaismul în scrierile lui Franz Kafka
(Between Tradition and Rebellion: Judaism in the Work of Franz Kafka)
- Author(s):Ana-Blanca Ciocoi-Pop
- Language:Romanian
- Subject(s):Social Sciences, Studies of Literature
- Page Range:92-99
- No. of Pages:8
- Keywords:Kafka; skepticism; Jewish; tradition; thought
- Summary/Abstract:This paper aims to establish the main coordinates of Franz Kafka’s writings from the perspective of the author’s Jewish heritage. Kafka had always fought an internal battle between the acceptance of Jewish tradition and a complete break with anything that referred to elements of Jewish mentality. His rebellion against the cultural and religious context he was part of was to a great extent the result of the tumultuous relationship with his father, his rejection of Judaism being mainly a rejection of patriarchy and of the destructive authority of his father. In spite of his apparently distancing from his heritage we can nevertheless identify a strong influence of the Jewish mindset in his novels and short stories, which is proof of the fact that one always returns to that which has either shaped or destroyed one’s identity.

Modernism şi postmodernism: Aspecte legate de opera critică a lui David Lodge
Modernism şi postmodernism: Aspecte legate de opera critică a lui David Lodge
(Modernist and Postmodernist Literary Criticism in the Work of David Lodge)
- Author(s):Stăncuţa Ramona Dima-Laza
- Language:Romanian
- Subject(s):Studies of Literature
- Page Range:100-107
- No. of Pages:8
- Keywords:Literature; criticism; novel; modernism; reader
- Summary/Abstract:Literature cannot be simply regarded as a set of rules and codes which should be deciphered from a language point of view. According to linguists, literary criticism does not decide what is correct and what is not, and does not deal with valid and invalid principles. The job of a critic is not that of revealing the hidden understandings of a novel, because literature can be interpreted in an infinite number of ways, relying on a system of signs. This article highlights the affinity that David Lodge has for criticism and the way in which his academic experience reflects in his entire work. Although the uninitiated reader may find it difficult to perceive his wisdom, irony, paradox, or the intertextual elegance that is in the background of his academic novels, the author has always focused on creating a bridge between fiction and criticism.

Where should a line be traced and how easily can the extremes be reached? These are some questions posed while studying religion and new media.

Personaje feminine în romanul psihologic: Camil Petrescu
(Female Characters in the Pshycological Novel of Camil Petrescu)
- Author(s):Florica Faur
- Language:Romanian
- Subject(s):Language and Literature Studies, Studies of Literature, Romanian Literature
- Page Range:117-130
- No. of Pages:14
- Keywords:female character;typology; reality
- Summary/Abstract:The female character is a reference in the perception of the 1930s Romanian pshychology. Romanian novelist Camil Petrescu created a “gallery” of female characters who represent the view on femininity in a period when this topic was not often approached. The lack in the biographical data on Camil Petrescu can be completed yby his characters who are typologies of women the authors had met in his life. This article aims to demonstrate that Petrescu’s female characters were inspired by the author’s experience and that many of the scenes in his novels were actually inspired by real events. This way, even without having the certitude of his everyday actions, Camil Petrescu can be “recomposed” from other people’s experience and from the point of view of the women who marked his existence.

(Identity Dilemmas and Social Dynamics. Haiti and Cultural Syncretism)
- Author(s):Speranţa Sofia Milancovici
- Language:Romanian
- Subject(s):Anthropology, Social Sciences, Culture and social structure
- Page Range:131-140
- No. of Pages:10
- Keywords:Haiti; identity; alterity; creole; francophone; syncretism
- Summary/Abstract:From a contemporary perspective, the assertion that Haiti was, in the 18th century, the richest French colony would seem unlikely, both to an experienced researcher as well as to a mere tourist who comes in contact with the Haitian reality. Undoubtedly, the world’s first free black republic has stirred the religious and cultural imagination of humanity through its magical reputation, voodoo practices and its cultural-linguistic uniqueness in Central America. We are proposing an exploratory endeavor into the Haitian identity space, in an attempt to clarify certain aspects regarding the status of the French language and its relation to the Creole language, the assumption of the Francophone linguistic influences by the African population bearing, in its genetic tree, the effervescence and cultural nuance of the native lands, as well as the dilemmas of the syncretism that impregnates all levels of the social mind. The major objective is to overcome certain ambiguities of a conceptual or terminological nature that have persisted in regards to creolization, pidgin languages and the Haitian cultural identity.

- No. of Pages:17
- Keywords:Academic System; Academic Human Resources; Academic Disaster
- Summary/Abstract:This article aims to unveil, as much as possible, both the desastrous situation of today’s Romanian higher education human resources, as well as that of the scintific research which is weak and non-promising. This paper presents several of the main phenomena of the Romanian academic environment, while highlighting the significantly low standards of the academic human resources. Furthermore, certain aspects which led to this situation are also analized. This analysis ends with a few possible sollutions which may lead, on the medium and long term, to a significant improvement in the human resources of the Romanian academis system, while also generating the beginning of a real “healing” of the entire Romanian higher education.

- Language:Romanian
- Subject(s):Language and Literature Studies, Studies of Literature
- Page Range:158-166
- No. of Pages:9
- Keywords:poetry; postmodernism; identity; memory; Serbian Banat
- Summary/Abstract:Ioan Flora, with his memory of the Serbian Banat, the native place he left behind, focuses on this space he regards as full of magic and confers upon it a multicultural and postmodern identity, these being specific connotations which turn the poet into a unique voice in the context of contemporary Romanian literature. Ioan Flora is Romanian poet from Serbia, who is placed by literary criticism and history among the writers of the 1980s generation. Flora's poetry uses space as a central point of view in many of his poems, a space where the poet located himself. In the same time, in parallel with the theories of postmodernism, Flora uses memory irony to describe the true landmarks in Romanian literature from the Serbian Banat. This paper presents the most significant poetic motifs of Ioan Flora’s poetry.

- No. of Pages:8
- Keywords:exile; literature; culture; moral survival; social context
- Summary/Abstract:This article sets several guidelines for the coordinates of the exile, which becomes, in the case of many authors, a sine qua non condition of moral and spiritual survival. It is interesting that even though the exile, as a social and political reality, has disappeared, it still exists in the moral context of authors. In what follows I will underline the reasons why Petru Popescu and Jeffrey Eugenides cannot, from a spiritual point of view, break free from their status of exiles.

- Language:Romanian
- Subject(s):Politics / Political Sciences, Social Sciences, Local History / Microhistory, Social development, Sociology of Culture
- Page Range:175-192
- No. of Pages:18
- Keywords:Haiti; colonization; UN; chronology; historical marks
- Summary/Abstract:In most bibliographical references, both Anglophone and Francophone, the “birth of Hispaniola” dates back to its discovery by Cristopher Columbus. The pre-Columbian stage is much less discussed and the documentary material dedicated to it is significantly less substantial. In an attempt organize the disparate and sometimes contradictory information provided by some bibliographic sources, we have consulted several chronologies and various historiographical references that show the socio-political evolution of the whole island of Saint-Domingue. Aside from drawing a historical image of Haiti as close to reality as possible, I have considered that it would only be possible to sketch a substantiated picture of the socio-cultural, political and economic situation of this inscribed state (with a spectacular vocation for failure, on a downward spiral of generalized corruption, social chaos and overturned values and of an inexplicable rejection of any real chance for betterment) by exploring its past and identifying the mechanisms through which the “Haiti phenomenon” took place.

This paper is written with the purpose of discussing a general theoretical frame for an effective PR campaign. Therefore, we are not highlighting practical aspects which are either already present in this specific PR campaign or they will be in near future.

Înțelegerea acțiunii sociale în cadrul teoriei raționalității comunicative a lui Jürgen Habermas
(Understanding Social Action within the Theory of Communicative Rationality of Jürgen Habermas)
- Author(s):Ioan Lesutan
- Language:Romanian
- Subject(s):Philosophy, Social Philosophy
- Page Range:200-218
- No. of Pages:19
- Keywords:theory of communicative rationality; social action; strategic action; communicative action
- Summary/Abstract:The theory of communicative rationality by Jürgen Habermas differentiates between two kinds of social action: the success-oriented strategic action and understandingoriented communicative action. Strategic action is a purposive-rational action oriented towards other persons from a utilitarian point of view, for example the calculative manipulation of others. In other words, an actor who acts strategically is primarily trying to achieve his own ends. In contrast, communicative action is oriented towards mutual conflict resolution through understanding. Actors here do not primarily aim at accomplishing their own success, but want to harmonize their plans of actions with the other participants. This attempt to sustain consensus is based on the intersubjective recognition of criticisable validity claims. Thus, communicative action is the opposite of strategic action. In addition, Habermas argues that the use of language with an orientation of understanding is the”original” mode of language.

- Keywords:social participation; active aging; elderly; quality of life; loneliness; social services for the elderly
- Summary/Abstract:Older people represent a category which specifically constitutes the object of social worker intervention. The modern society treats the elderly with disbelief the uselessness, by creating a culture of young people where the older person finds his or her place increasingly difficult. Promoting the concept of „active aging” assumes education and formation for a lifetime, making withdrawing from activity progressive, by practicing activities beneficial to health.

The present research meets these objectives by evaluating and analyzing the social problems to be improved or settled.
