As a German-born princess and the first Romanian queen, Carmen Sylva – as she was known under her literary pseudonym – is a cultural link between German culture and the still-maturing Romanian one. As such, Carmen Sylva’s literary work is of course extremely important and her work as a translator must, by all means, be mentioned. This work aims to analyze Carmen Sylva as a translator – of mostly Romanian folk poetry – and to correctly categorize her literary work, especially since she wrote in the stormy literary era at the turn of the century – also known as Fin de siècle or Decadence.

Traditional eLearning platforms are teacher centred and do not allow open and free access to education. To follow a course on a traditional platform the students must have a certain profile (knowledge background) and, at the end, they obtain new knowledge / abilities / competences. In 2011-2012 have been developed the first MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) platforms with the aim to vastly increase access to education. The MOOC platforms have some differences compared to traditional eLearning platforms: the number of students in a course can be very high (tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands), the role of the tutor is less significant, the learning assessment is based on surveys and peer assessments and courses may be enriched with multimedia and hypermedia materials. Among MOOC platforms, open edX is a very popular platform developed by a consortium of universities from USA. Due to the fact, this platform can be installed for free, it is under continuous development, scalable and well documented, it has been chosen for many educational projects. This paper presents a comparative analysis between a traditional learning platform (Moodle) and a MOOC platform (open edX) taking into consideration the data achieved in four educational projects.

As already known, one of the most attracting event organized for general public is represented by the European Researchers’ Night, which targets to bring near Science and Research all the interested actors, having actually a major coverage in more than 30 countries and almost 300 cities, being organized on the last Friday, in September.On the other hand, this event offers a good opportunity for disseminating the outputs designed in several projects that have as objective to promote science and scientific literacy to different target groups, starting from the young learners, to various stakeholders, less or not involved in research activities. In this respect, in the frame of the FP7 project called IRRESISTIBLE, in Romania, the European Researchers’ Night was organized at the National Complex Museum “Curtea Domnească” Târgovişte (History Museum & Museum of Romanian Police), gathering scientific demonstrations, interactive presentations, experimental activities and discussions, but also a dedicated Science exhibition, named: “The World of Nanomaterials and Solar Energy”. Most of the visitors were young students, but also general public was interested to participate to this event. The paper illustrates some aspects related to the participation to the event, but also the feedback recorded from the participants concerning responsible research and innovation aspects that have to be retrieved in the educational practice.
More...Keywords: Hungarians in Romania;
The present study aims to present the evolution of the Hungarian population in Romania. Thus, the results of the study and the methodological problems that emerged as a result of the application of standard demographic methods to minority populations (in this case the Hungarian population) are presented in detail.
More...Keywords: media; information; human personality;
In the contemporary age, mass media—the solitary technical means for the delivery of information to the people—developed not only an exerting mobilizing power, but also impacted the development of human personality. In this day and age, dominated by the mass media, the human being is conditioned by the mass media and has become subject to the continuing pressures of the information propagated by it. In this context, invariably, the human personality is being affected (even redefined), as it develops new positive or negative impulses; depending on the information it is being exposed to.

Refugee movements have regional dimensions, causing the international community to coordinate their diplomatic-political efforts to ensure their protection and to find permanent solutions to their physical security and food security problems.From a legal point of view, refugees are people in danger who are trying to take advantage of their right to asylum in other countries. In this situation, criticism of the use of travel, escape from dangers, is the value of a saving solution, and the freedom of movement is of major importance in the European space. Refugee protection has been a topic of great interest to the international community after the United Nations.The impact of the Syrian crisis on the asylum system of many European countries, the fear of an increase in EU migration and the recurrence of nationalist and extremist movements in Europe make migration a recurring theme in European Union policy. The Syrian refugee crisis has created major problems in the region.

The Danube River crosses Romania over an area of 1075 kilometre and represents the second natural element that marks the natural configuration of Romania, which is why our country is defined as a Carpatho-Danubian country. But the Danube River is important for Romania because it flows into the Black Sea on the territory of our country, and the Danube's Mouth is an essential strategic element for Black Sea control, the second important after the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles Straits. Free navigation at the Mouth of the Danube can be ensured by a strong Romanian State "whose European Sentinel Mission has proven throughout history that it can fulfill it. For these geopolitical reasons, Europe needs in this geographical position a strong, whole Romanian State with a shore in the Black Sea wide enough to become apt to guard the Danube Mouths" (Rădulescu N. Al, quoted in I. Bădescu, Sociology and Geopolitics of the Border, Floarea Albastră Publishing House, 1995, p. 103). Nowadays, there are several elements that amplify the importance of the Danube, turning it into a major trade axis of Europe. It is the Rhin-Main-Danube Canal, connecting the North Sea with the Black Sea, the port of Rotterdam with the port of Constanta. Central European countries can have direct access to the Black Sea and from here to the Suez Canal. (Seftiuc, I., "Romania and the problem of straits, Bucharest 1980").
More...Keywords: nation; Romania; identity.
The identity of a Nation is a value which belongs to the nation itself. It is not a product to import or to be exported; to be imposed to others or to be created by design for your own sake or in the name of others, as the history reveals in certain cases. What means to love your own country in this European Context and not to be judged as nationalistic? In 1989, I was 10 years old, enough to find that even the sliest critique of the regime was punished, now after 30 years I find that even the sliest critique of European Union is punished by ,,the public opinion” and characterized as euro sceptic.
More...Keywords: anatomic; criminal; face; individualization; malformation; missing; signals;
Since ancient times, it has been necessary to differentiate one people from another, using for this purpose elements of individualization such as the external appearance of the face, corpulence, the existence of congenital or accidental malformations, of certain habits. The distinctions between the external aspects of the persons were used with the passage of time and by the state legal bodies, in order to identify the criminals. Among the fundamental concerns of the judicial bodies were those regarding the identification of persons based on the external characteristics specific to each individual, and on the other hand, the creation of a system of records and registration of persons who contravene the legal norms. Based on the generalized practice of the judicial bodies, it was concluded that the main elements that can underpin the identification of missing persons, after signals, are given by the differences between the anatomical and functional properties of each individual.
More...Keywords: interaction;language functions
The assertion we start from is that the origin of language was determined by its functions, manifested at the level of ontological reality and the relationship with society, thinking, and human spiritual life. In order to exchange information about the surrounding reality, reflected at the level of conscience, in order to communicate, humans instrumentalized language. The research objectives are: to carry out a retrospective study of the functions of language, especially of the phatic function, from the perspective of the process of communication and knowledge. The research method is descriptive-linguistic and analytical. The general conclusion of the research is that, through language, nature itself was removed from under the sign of the instinctive and placed under the kingdom of reason, judgement, and, foremost, of human communication.

In the present work we have examined the destroying at fault offense provided for in the provisions of art. 255 of Criminal Code. Also, given the transitional situation we are in, the elements of similarity and differentiation between the previous and the current regulations have been analysed, a useful examination regarding the application of the more favorable criminal law. The examination carried out is part of an extensive work to be published in a nationally recognized publishing house. The paper can be useful to students, master students and doctoral students of the country's faculties, as well as practitioners.

Mihai Eminescu, the Romanian national poet, is ultimately the ―deep state‖ of our research herewith, the medical contextualization of his personality being another phrase for connecting psychopathology to creativity, in a biopsychosocial approach.
More...Keywords: Educational management
As a general observation, it could be said that the complexity of educational management as a concept, is highlighted by its inclusion of related but subsidiary though important terms such as ethics, culture and diversity within different educational systems. We could say that the aim of educational management is to effectively and efficiently create and maintain environments within educational institutions. Educational management must be responsive to both local and global changes due to technological developments that directly affect teaching and learning through changes through curriculum in terms of pedagogical and assessment practices.
More...Keywords: Audit culture; State-ruled education; Romania; Roma population; School elite; School history; educational inequalities;
However segregation and discrimination are very important factors that block access of Roma to quality education, there are a series of less visible phenomena also responsible for school inequalities. Aim of this paper is to understand how some of these sophisticatedly linked factors lead to the making of a "Gypsy school" in a Romanian town, a school with low educational performance and bad fame. In doing so, the notion of audit culture is introduced, understood as a set of culturally mediated norms and practices of ranking. As this approach comes into sight, one may understand how - despite the commitment shown by the Romanian policy-makers to facilitate school integration of the Roma - a series of regulations unwittingly obstruct this aim. As it is revealed below, the framing of the national financing policies may involuntarily lead to tracking the Roma children into certain schools, where - in lack of a variety of teaching materials, refined testing and a clear system of rewarding the teacher's performance - quality education becomes a hard-to-reach target. The contextuality of the bad label of a "Gypsy school" is also relevant in this research as it is either a resource, or a stigma depending of the situation.
More...Keywords: St. Basil the Great; Basiliad; social communication; social processes
It is well known that communication is a “social phenomenon, which involves an intention to send and receive a message” (Fârte 2004), in our case, the social communication to Saint Basil. The complexity of the social communication phenomenon is remarkable. It is a proof of human capacity to express their thoughts, ideas, and feelings of frustration, compassion, and struggle for social survival. With the help of words, man struggles every day, with the social problems he faces, with the depression generated by social problems, he transcends the difference of age, language, culture, color, religion and sex. The dimension of communication in social processes becomes “sine qua non” in our existence (Stoica-Marcu 2013, 128) a remarkable example over time is Basiliad. Saint Basil exhortations into practice the mercy of his sermons social facts confirming the strength of his Christian beliefs (Petcu 2009).

This paper synthetizes earlier studies and aims to investigate how the nuclear equilibrium between the United States and the Russian Federation may change, because of the process of proliferation. A theoretical perspective combining power transition and rational deterrence theory is used to draw a few scenarios. The main goal is to develop general traits and tendencies, by varying the variable of power distribution and use them to develop a few scenarios.
