Youth’s human and faith education – an imperative for nowadays. Toward the rediscovery of true values for education

Educaţia tinerilor la nivel uman şi la nivelul credinţei - un imperativ al zilelor noastre; spre redescoperirea unor valori veridice pentru educaţie..

Author(s): Simona Ştefana Zetea / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 3/2004

RESUMÉ: L’éducation des jeunes au niveau humain et au niveau de la foi – un impératif pour nos jours; pour redecouvrir des vraies valeurs pour l’éducation actuelle. La question de l’éducation au sens des véritables valeurs, tant au niveau humain qu’au niveau de la foi est un impératif absolu pour nos jours, vu le contexte pluraliste et relativiste où l’on vit. Faute d’une réelle assistence des institutions d’enseignement, du monde des adultes, de la société en enssemble, de l’Église même, les jeunes ont bien des difficultés dans le choix des valeurs selon lesquelles construire leur vie. En dépit des apparences, ils sont prêts à accepter les points de repère que des personnes adultes ont la disponibilité de leur transmettre avec sincérité et conviction. Plus que jamais, il est aujourd’hui nécessaire que tous les agents de l’éducation collaborent pour la formation de la jeune génération, dont dépend l’avenir du monde.

Author(s): Claudia Gilia / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 172/2012

Keywords: Constitutional Court; review of the Constitution; constitutional judges; appointment; competences; solutions

Recent debates on the upcoming review of the Constitution have determined us to pay close attention to the basic institution in a democratic state, that is the Constitutional Court. Being caught in the crossfire between power and opposition, the Constitutional Court had a hard time lately, facing severe attacks. The aim of our study is to analyze the evolution of the Constitutional Court within the inland constitutional system, particularly bringing up the flaws describing the Court’s activity. We have also analyzed the proposals put forth by several bodies or experts regarding the constitutional contentious court. At the end of our study, following an analysis of different constitutional types of constitutional review, used by a number of states in Europe, we introduced several resolutions that may improve the role, the course and, last but not least, the activity of the Romanian Constitutional Court.

Bibliography - an Imperative of the Informational Society

Bibliografia - imperativ al societăţii informaţionale

Author(s): Cristina Popescu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 12/2008

Keywords: biblioteci; bibliografie; informaţie; schimbare; baze de date bibliografice

În prezent, cel mai important factor al societăţii umane, instrumentul universal, omniprezent este informaţia. Acest lucru este evident. Civilizaţia secolului al XX-lea s-a bazat mai mult decât oricare alta dinaintea ei pe informaţie, învăţământ, cultură, ştiinţă, într-un cuvânt: pe cunoaştere. Iar accesul mai facil la cunoaştere se realizează prin intermediul bibliografiei.

Imperativeness in between Grammatical Givens and Communicative Politeness

Imperativnost između gramatičke zadanosti i komunikacijske uljudnosti

Author(s): Nikolina Palašić,Tihana Zbašnik / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 13/2017

Keywords: imperative; imperativeness; speech act; politeness; communicative function

The paper focuses on the relation between imperatives and imperativeness, that is, between the imperative as a grammatical mood with a defined form and its assigned function, on the one hand, and imperativeness as a communicative value that can manifest itself through different morphosyntactic forms, on the other. In this sense, the function of imperatives is analysed in the context of the theory of speech acts. The analysis reveals that different imperative forms can be classified as different types of speech acts based on their various communicative roles. The theory of politeness dictates that directness, which is a basic feature of imperatives, should be avoided in politecommunication. This is why we also focus on other morphosyntactic forms whose form indicates a reduced level of directness, but whose content still has the characteristics of imperatives.

Keywords: Publishing activity; the affirmation of archival science; originator of international archival cooperation; scientific research; National Archive in Dubrovnik;

In this paper, I am going to make a short overview of the publishing activity of the National Archive in Dubrovnik, when I was the director ofthe Archive in the period between 2000 and 2008. On the basis of exact examples,I am going to point out the significance of the publishing activity in accomplishingcooperation between archives and their cooperation with other scientific andcultural institutions, but also in affirmation of the Archive as a public cultural institution and bringing archival science closer to the general public. Equally, doing a scientific research on archival documents in the Archive, might result inpublishing work which could directly promote and affirm a certain autochthonousproduct of the local community. I made a priority to publish work based on archivalprocessing and arrangement of certain archival fonds or series of documents. Theintroductory studies needed to scientifically valorize the stated archival documentsand put it in a wider historical context. The other parts of books needed to be apublished archival document or an inventory. Contemplating it like this, I set astrategy of the publishing activity of the Archive. The selection of associates wascrucial, both archival employees and external associates.

ON THE USE OF IMPERATIVE AND CONDITIONAL MOOD ON THE SLAVONIC TRANSLATION OF JOSEPHUS FLAVIUS’S HISTORY OF THE JUDAIC WAR ACCORDING TO THE ARCHAIC CHRONOGRAPH

ЗА УПОТРЕБАТА НА ПОВЕЛИТЕЛНО И УСЛОВНО НАКЛОНЕНИЕ В СЛАВЯНСКИЯ ПРЕВОД НА „ИСТОРИЯ НА ЮДЕЙСКАТА ВОЙНА” ОТ ЙОСИФ ФЛАВИЙ СПОРЕД АРХИВСКИЯ ХРОНОГРАФ

Author(s): Aneta Tihova / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 15/2015

Keywords: Old Bulgarian language; JOSEPHUS FLAVIUS’S HISTORY OF THE JUDAIC WAR

The article, based on the research made, ascertains that the peculiarities of the imperative and conditional mood according to Arh. Coincide with the peculiarities inherent to the other texts of the Old Bulgarian translation. 1. Predominant in the imperative mood are the synthetic forms for the 2nd person singular and 2nd person plural (85%); in a semantic meaning it usually expresses order (77%), and under the influence of the text –request (18%) or wish (5%). 2. In the conditional mood the position of the auxiliary verb is usually before the adverb (74%); it is most often met in compound sentences with conditional clauses (50%), and the conditional is present both in the statement and the condition. 3. The presence of archaic forms for a dual number supports the thesis that the translation was done during the Old Bulgarian period. Future research will enable us to clarify in full the language peculiarities of this historical text.

Who is More Tolerant? The Perception of Imperatives in Polish and in Dutch in an Informal Context

Wie zijn er nu toleranter? De perceptie van imperatieven in het Pools en het Nederlands in een informele context

Author(s): Katarzyna Wiercińska / Language(s): Dutch / Issue: 5S/2020

Keywords: imperative; standards of politeness; perception; Polish; Dutch

This contribution focuses on the perception of the imperative forms in spontaneous informal conversations among native speakers of Polish and Dutch, and reports on a pilot survey of standards of politeness. Since imperatives in Polish and Dutch are used qualitatively and quantitatively in a different way, we can assume that their perception is also different for native speakers of both languages. Using a survey consisting of, among other things, an assessment task, an attempt was made to investigate how polite the respondents think the imperative forms are, and how their assessment is influenced by the context of the utterance.

Imperative of Concretization: Translational Shifts and the Models of Reception of Howard Phillips Lovecraft’s Prose – The Case Study of "The Outsider" and its Polish Versions

Imperatyw konkretyzacji. Translatorskie modyfikacje a modele recepcji prozy Howarda Phillipsa Lovecrafta na przykładzie polskich tłumaczeń opowiadania "The Outsider"

Author(s): Arkadiusz Luboń / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 51/2021

Keywords: translational shift;reception;concretization;adaptation;weird fiction

The Article discusses translational reception of Howard Phillips Lovecraft’s prose in Poland on the example of his short story The Outsider. The gothic tale of a mysterious recluse visiting human society, in its original version, has no explicit interpretation due to the fact that the maincharacter’s identity is intentionally left by Lovecraft without precise and unambiguous explanation for its readers to determine. Polish versions, however, modified in the process of interlinguistic transfer, are aimed at concretization of the text, and thus solving this interpretational puzzle with different answers given by five translators (Grzegorz Iwanciw, Robert Lipski, Ewa Morycińska-Dzius, Mateusz Kopacz and Maciej Płaza), influenced by a variety of factors: image of the American writer, knowledge of his other literary works, implied readers of the translations and artistic trends popular in Polish literature.

The studies of philosophy and not only, everyday life, show us that the importance of morality is related to freedom and human dignity.

Influence of ethnicity and religion in Nigerian elections and the imperative of media intervention

Influence of ethnicity and religion in Nigerian elections and the imperative of media intervention

Author(s): Godwin Ehiarekhian Oboh / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2017

Keywords: media; ethnicity; religion; election; colonialist constitutions; clifford constitution; multi-national oil companies; pluralist model

This study examines the influence of ethnicity and religion on the voting patterns of the Nigerian electorate. The paper employed the content analysis approach being the research method to evaluate the 2015 presidential election, and found that ethnicity played a major role in the election. Since democracy is a game of numbers, it might be relatively difficult ever having a Nigerian President of an Igbo origin without the support of the other ethnic nationalities in the country. This is because the Igbo Community falls within the category of the minority regions in terms of population. So, to create the platform that would enable the members of both the major and the minority ethnic groups to serve as the president of Nigeria, the paper recommends among other things that the office of the Nigerian president be rotated among the six geo political zones as earlier recommended by Chief Anthony Enaharo, architect of the six-geo-political zones in the Nigerian politics. In addition, the paper urges the media to support the formation of an inclusive government, cutting across tribes and religion in the country to reduce the negative impact of ethnicity and religion in the country.

Keywords: cryptocurrency; FTX; Sam Bankman-Fried; regulation; financial mismanagement.

yptocurrency exchange, in late 2022. Sam Bankman-Fried founded FTX, which at first prospered with its cutting-edge offers. However, because of financial mismanagement and regulatory issues, FTX experienced a liquidity problem and widespread withdrawals. The collapse revealed regulatory shortcomings and generated demands for improved supervision and investor protection on a global scale.

Nonetheless, regulatory obstacles continue to exist, necessitating a careful balancing act between innovation and supervision. The failure highlights the necessity of educating stakeholders and helping them adjust to the changing cryptocurrency environment. Regulations guarantee stability, investor trust, and institutional involvement, even though they may also present challenges. In the end, the crash of FTX steered the sector toward responsible expansion and emphasized the significance of strong regulatory frameworks in determining the course of cryptocurrency markets.

Translating Nietzsche’s Atheism(s): A World Beyond the Ethical Imperative

Translating Nietzsche’s Atheism(s): A World Beyond the Ethical Imperative

Author(s): Dirk R. Johnson / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2023

Keywords: Walter Kaufmann; atheism; modern science; British naturalism; ascetic ideal;

The paper will examine Kaufmann’s translation of The Genealogy of Morals (GM), specifically a section of GM III §27, where the translator’s choice of a single word skews an important insight of Nietzsche’s on the question of modern atheism. Kaufmann’s influential translation, highly regarded for its stylistic refinement, has served as the starting point for most English translations that followed, and so his rendering of this section continues to impact the current Anglo-American reception of Nietzsche’s work. By challenging Kaufmann’s rendering of an important section of GM III §27, the paper will extrapolate a more nuanced understanding of atheism from Nietzsche’s position. This awareness problematizes current attempts to equate Nietzsche with a scientific naturalist program.

EMPOWERING THE WORKFORCE: THE IMPERATIVE OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING IN A TECHNOLOGY-DRIVEN WORLD

EMPOWERING THE WORKFORCE: THE IMPERATIVE OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING IN A TECHNOLOGY-DRIVEN WORLD

Author(s): Angelica Mădălina BANCĂ,Claudiu Coman / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2024

Keywords: Professional training; technological advancements; skills gap; continuous learning; workforce development;

In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, industries are increasingly dependent on advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), automation, and data analytics, which have reshaped job roles and created new professions requiring specialized skills. Despite these advancements, there is a significant skills gap within the workforce, which threatens both individual careers and organizational success. This article explores the critical role of professional training in bridging this gap, emphasizing the importance of technical training, soft skills development, continuous learning programs, and cross-disciplinary learning. Technical training in areas such as coding, data science, and cybersecurity ensures that employees remain relevant and competitive in the job market. Meanwhile, soft skills like critical thinking and communication are essential for adapting to the complexities of modern work environments. Continuous learning programs, supported by online platforms and micro-credentials, foster a culture of lifelong learning. The article also highlights the specific training needs in the South-West Oltenia region, where most companies recognize the value of training to support business expansion and maintain workforce readiness in the face of technological change. To remain competitive, organizations must invest in comprehensive professional training programs that prepare employees for both current and future challenges in a technology-driven world.

The Imperative of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia: Teachers to Fight Against Religious Education

The Imperative of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia: Teachers to Fight Against Religious Education

Author(s): Soňa Gabzdilová,Milan Olejník / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2024

Keywords: Communist Party of Czechoslovakia; Teachers; Religious Education

The paper deals with a complex issue – the involvement of the teachers at primary educational institutions (the first [first to fourth grade] and second schools levels [fifth to ninth grade] at that time) in the anti-religious campaign – the campaign to sign children up for religious education, launched by the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia in the early 1950s that escalated in the 1952/1953 school year. It refers to the fundamental postulate of the Communists in the field of school policy – to educate pupils in accordance with the ideological doctrine of Marxism-Leninism, including the inseparable component of atheism. The result of the educational process aimed to create a young generation with a materialistic worldview. In this context, the first step was to limit children's participation in religious education in the first and second levels of school. The study presents the policy of the ruling political party's attempt to achieve the lowest possible attendance of pupils in classes of religious education and the different steps that the communist regime used to achieve this goal. It analyzes the participation and attitudes of teachers in the campaign to enrol pupils in religious education and highlights the primary role of teachers, who played an indispensable part in that campaign. The campaign focused primarily on persuading parents not to enroll their children in classes of religious education. As civil servants, the teachers were used by the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia in the pursuit of its goals. The paper points to the fact that school staff, similar to Slovak society as a whole, overwhelmingly supported a religious worldview, which was confirmed by the results of a census conducted in March 1950. It was therefore necessary to ‘re-educate and vet teachers'. In this context, the study discusses the various new forms of ‘education' of teachers in order to achieve the highest possible number of those in their ranks who would at least formally declare their atheistic position.

THE HYPOTHETICAL IMPERATIVE AS AN INDICATOR OF IRRATIONAL WILL: THE CASE OF THE 2018 TORONTO VAN ATTACK

THE HYPOTHETICAL IMPERATIVE AS AN INDICATOR OF IRRATIONAL WILL: THE CASE OF THE 2018 TORONTO VAN ATTACK

Author(s): Kevin Stevenson / Language(s): English / Issue: 13/2023

Keywords: autism; autonomy; categorical imperative; criminology; ethical solipsism; hypothetical imperative;

The categorical imperative inherent in Kant’s ethics has had indubitable historical influence on societies worldwide whether in the form of laws, democracy or public deliberation. The Toronto Van Attack of 2018 and its subsequent legal trial is a case example that shows how the categorical imperative can be applied to assist in understanding the reasoning for the case’s guilty verdict. This paper will convey the applicability of the categorical imperative for examining criminal case studies by closing the gap between ethical theory and practice. Such closure will be shown to assist in understanding why a perpetrator of a crime can be found guilty of following a hypothetical imperative to base their actions. The rationale for the verdict in this case will be shown to be based on the perpetrator’s responsibility in the form of maintaining autonomy despite having an autism diagnosis. The perpetrator will be shown to have acted on an irrational will and yet was treated in the legal sense as a rational individual. Such rationality was maintained despite complications with their autonomy in the form of relativism and ethical solipsism.
