THE MANAGEMENT AND FOOD SAFETY ON WORLD LEVEL

THE MANAGEMENT AND FOOD SAFETY ON WORLD LEVEL

Author(s): Petru Aurel Darau / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2008

Keywords: food; food safety; consumer; quality

Food safety is bounded to the presence of different kind of food danger on the moment that we consume it (the ingestion of food). Because the dangers of food nature may appear in any stage of the food chain, it is necessary an adequate check all along. The concept of quality of any product reunites the totality of features, because of which that sort of product is preferred by the consumer and the use of it satisfies the physiological and aesthetical needs without harming his integrity.

“The Archbishop’s Ceiling” - Life as Theatre

„Tavanul arhiepiscopului”– Viața ca teatru

Author(s): Elena Ciortescu / Language(s): English / Issue: 15/2013

Keywords: politics; censorship; oppression; authoritarian regimes

The paper focuses on Arthur Miller’s play, “The Archbishop’s Ceiling”, written in 1977, twenty years after the Witch Hunt and three years after the Watergate scandal had come to an end, both of which had undoubtedly questioned the ideal of freedom in the U.S. It deals primarily with the dramatic consequences abusive politics (and policies) can have on art but also on life itself and points to the fact that censorship and oppression may manifest under authoritarian regimes (such as the ones in Eastern and Central Europe) as well as in a country which calls itself the home of freedom – the United States of America. Another central aspect of the play is its concern with the question of identity in danger of dissolution as a consequence of the roles people are forced to play because of the surveillance devices which seem to have been installed everywhere in their lives.

To Philosophize is to Revise, Or, How German Idealism Became Historical in the Work of One Secluded American Thinker

To Philosophize is to Revise, Or, How German Idealism Became Historical in the Work of One Secluded American Thinker

Author(s): Katie Terezakis / Language(s): English / Issue: 12/2014

Keywords: John William Miller; Immanuel Kant; Jürgen Habermas; Johann Georg Hamann; Idealism; Actualism; Pragmatism; Metacriticism; Midworld of Functioning Objects

In the works of relatively unknown twentieth century American thinker, John Wil-liam Miller, Kantian idealism is both utilized and transformed into a historical, linguistically focused philosophy of symbolic action. I argue that Miller’s system should be understood as native to the detranscendentalizing project of philosophical modernity as well as to concerns about German idealism that typify early American philosophy. I link Miller’s methodology to a metacritical assessment of Kant’s work that is nearly as old as the first Critique; I also link Miller’s approach to concerns about human action and agency that characterize the pragmatist tradition. I make the case that Miller revises the Kantian project, and the notion of regulative ideality in particular, with his presentation of a “midworld of functioning objects”. The Millerian midworld, I maintain, demonstrates the historically and linguistically contextual establishment of cognitive categories, including the Kantian forms of intuition. In so doing, Miller demonstrates what a genuinely critical philosophy must look like and he sidesteps difficulties regarding fallibilism and finitude, which continue to reappear in contemporary theorizing. Miller sees philosophy as an utterly historical, ongoing work of revision; he also shows how other forms of human endeavoring do well to return to philosophy to address the problems that have come to define them. Miller’s system aptly demonstrates both the historicity of critical philosophy and the practical application of a working philosophical methodology to contemporary dilemmas.

THE METAMORPHOSIS OF THE ASSOCIATE'S LIMITED LIABILITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY UNDERGOING DISSOLUTION

THE METAMORPHOSIS OF THE ASSOCIATE'S LIMITED LIABILITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY UNDERGOING DISSOLUTION

Author(s): Rodica Diana Apan / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2016

Keywords: piercing the corporate veil; metamorphosis of the extent of liability; distinct legal personality of the company; fraud of creditors; limited liability; dissolution; liquidation

The present article seeks to analyze the metamorphosis of the extent of the associate's liability for the obligations of the limited liability company, namely that liability which modifies its extent – from liability limited to the associate's contribution to the share capital it develops into unlimited liability to this contribution.The metamorphosis occurs in well-determined cases, namely when, in the fraud of the creditors, the associate abuses of the limited character of its liability and of the distinct legal personality of the company, this happening in the stage of dissolution which precedes liquidation. The analysis of the consequences of metamorphosis of the extent of the associate's liability having in view the benefit it should have brought to the amelioration of the business environment, is not a favourable one, because of its limited applicability, seen from double perspective: only to the associate in the limited liability company and only to the companies from this category undergoing dissolution which precedes liquidation.

PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS ON INDIVIDUAL DISMISSAL UNDER ART. 65 OF THE ROMANIAN LABOUR CODE AND THE PROTECTION OF THE EMPLOYEES RIGHTS

PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS ON INDIVIDUAL DISMISSAL UNDER ART. 65 OF THE ROMANIAN LABOUR CODE AND THE PROTECTION OF THE EMPLOYEES RIGHTS

Author(s): Graţian Urechiatu-Burian,Violeta SIMIONESCU / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2016

Keywords: dismissal; employer; employee; economic reasons; real and serious reasons; objective reasons; termination of employment

Dismissal is a form of employment termination at the employer’s initiative. The lawmaker regulated several scenarios where the employer may terminate an employee. Considering the legal effects arising from termination, the lawmaker established the procedure to be followed by the employer in order to issue a lawful and just termination decision under some compulsory regulations.The dismissal regulated by art. 65 of the Labour Code covers those situations when the employer terminates the position filled by the employee due to objective circumstances, as a rule of economic or technical nature. Please note that in this case the employee is not in default, and the reasons which lead to termination are objective and independent from the employee’s conduct in performing his/her job duties.

THE GAP BETWEEN BIOETHICS PRINCIPLISM AND JUDICIAL RESPONSIBILITY: HOW SOCIAL SCIENCES CAN HELP ROMANIAN LAW

THE GAP BETWEEN BIOETHICS PRINCIPLISM AND JUDICIAL RESPONSIBILITY: HOW SOCIAL SCIENCES CAN HELP ROMANIAN LAW

Author(s): Andrei Nanu,Diana Bulgaru-Iliescu,Tudor-Ştefan Rotaru,Liviu Oprea / Language(s): English / Issue: 49/2015

Keywords: medical practice; bio-ethical principles; social sciences; legislation; judicial responsibility;

Applying bioethics traditional principles in modern medicine is a difficult process. Alternative approaches compete with the so-called principlism. The law is required to offer solutions that best fit contemporary realities and moral problems, always taking into account the individual and the survival of the medical system. This paper shows how the four principles of Beauchamp & Childress (2009) translate into Romanian law. It argues that social sciences shouldn’t be considered from an adversarial position with bioethics. Authors consider that the empirical based psychological and sociological findings are able to fill in the gap between bioethics and an adapted and regulated medical practice. This is true worldwide and especially in Romania, where transition makes the defensive medicine a danger for quality evidence-based care.

The use of MOOCs (Massive Online Open Courses) has become very popular in the past few years. Such courses can teach a large variety of skills, including the basics of virtual mobilities, both for students and teachers. The Open VMLH (Virtual Mobility Learning Hub) is an innovative multilingual environment which was created as part of the Erasmus+ Open Virtual Mobility project, with the purpose to promote collaborative learning, social connectivism and networking as an instructional method, OERs as the main content, and open digital credentials. In this paper, we will present the usability evaluation of the Open VMLH mobile application, a mix of heuristic and cognitive evaluation methods. Some of the issues discovered are related to the general interface and functionality of the mobile application, while others are related to the structure of the courses and the implementation of the content, but just a couple of them are critical for the user experience.

TRADITIONAL AND INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO THE PIANO SONATA IN THE CREATION OF COMPOSERS FROM THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA ON THE BORDERLINE OF THE 20TH-21ST CENTURIES

TRADITIONAL AND INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO THE PIANO SONATA IN THE CREATION OF COMPOSERS FROM THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA ON THE BORDERLINE OF THE 20TH-21ST CENTURIES

Author(s): Inna Hatipova / Language(s): English / Issue: 1 (38)/2021

Keywords: sonata for piano; composers from the Republic of Moldova; sonata form;

In the present article the author reviews the piano sonatas penned by national composers on the borderline of the 20th-21stcenturies. On the basis of the Piano Sonata by A. Fyodorova, the Sonata-Fantasia by V. Zagorsky, the Sonata-Improvisationby V. Rotaru and De Sonata Meditor by G. Ciobanu, one can disclose the principal tendencies of development of the genrereferring to strengthening the individualization of treating the artistic concept of each composition, as well as to a growinginterest in modern composition techniques. Th e choice of the analyzed sonatas was determined by the fact that the above-mentionedpieces are now fi rmly established in both the educational and competition repertoire of the undergraduate, graduateand doctoral students of the Academy of Music, Th eatre and Fine Arts of the Republic of Moldova as well as in the local pianists’concert practice. Th e inference is drawn that, during the respective period, composers tend to write one-part compositionsand treat the sonata concept freely.

Integrity and Dignity vs. Human Responsibility, Reasonableness or Rationality?

INTEGRITATE ȘI DEMNITATE VERSUS RESPONSABILITATE, REZONABILITATE SAU RAȚIONALITATE UMANĂ?

Author(s): Claudia Frățilă / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 2/2020

Keywords: integrity; dignity; responsibility; reasonableness; rationality;

Freedom of religion is often at a disadvantage in balancing human rights, legitimate interests, and protected characteristics. Dignity can be approached from the perspective of religion as a public good. It emphasizes the precedence of good in religious conscience over legal rights under the law as public morality. Introducing religion as a public good could function as the basis for freedom of religious conscience and can relieve the tension over the protection of religion or belief in the workplace. Religion and freedom of religion will prove to be a flourishing factor within an understanding of public good.

THE IMPRESSION OF POSTMODERN SOCIETY OVER LANGUAGE PERCEPTION

THE IMPRESSION OF POSTMODERN SOCIETY OVER LANGUAGE PERCEPTION

Author(s): Oana Tătaru / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2021

Keywords: social milieu; public space; cogitation; language; context; actant; utterance; interchange;

The flow of time in regard to the intervals of communities has departed from past temporal concerns. The expeditious modality of latter era as regards the manner of thinking and expound actual issues or matters has imposed an accordant, yet strenuous pace for the individuals to conform to the data of a continually dynamic, inconstant reality. Each entity perceives the everyday experience or course of phases in accordance with the degree of forbearance one possesses to have an insight or avail the imaginative faculty with the aim of reflecting upon. The present society might be referred as being defined by a plurality of values that endeavor to legitimize whereas the corresponding equivocal dimension implies a subjective assessment and distinctive decision. The social milieu rests with a generalized intercultural palaver within the framework of which the right to an opinion does not represent the appanage of an educated, lettered minority but an ever-expanding social communication forum.

FAKE NEWS - Tool in the Information War in Ukraine

FAKE NEWS - armă în războiul informatic din Ucraina

Author(s): Doru TOMPEA / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 1/2022

Keywords: deontology; media; information war; fake news; Ukraine;

Two months after the outbreak of the war on our border with Ukraine, in addition to the components of a classic, occupation war, we are witnessing the use of hybrid warfare strategies, with vehicles characteristic of the use of platforms, social networks, advanced I.T. technologies, adapted to the mechanisms of information warfare. The aggression of fake news is part of this war waged with the tools specific to this phenomenon, along with the known propaganda mechanisms. The media is such a vehicle, but it is also the one that deontologically develops the contents and messages of this phenomenon. We will report and interpret information from the national and international press about this phenomenon that is unique in the strategies of war around us.

Man’s Moral Sense and the Categorical Imperative in Kantian Ethics (Is Man’s Moral Sense Innate or Acquired Through Education?)

SIMȚUL MORAL AL OMULUI ȘI IMPERATIVUL CATEGORIC ÎN ETICA KANTIANĂ (SIMȚUL MORAL AL OMULUI ESTE ÎNNĂSCUT SAU SE DOBÂNDEȘTE PRIN EDUCAȚIE?)

Author(s): Delia Mariana Ardelean,Liana Rozalia Rotaru,Anand-Sergiu Donca / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 2/2022

Keywords: moral systems; virtue; categorical imperative; freedom; human dignity; experience; reason; duty; education; experience; moral man and social man;

The problem of morality has been in philosophy since its beginnings and has remained valid even today. This was and is a preoccupation of philosophers, people of culture, education, politicians, becoming, today, a preoccupation of the whole society, of common sense. The studies of philosophy and not only, everyday life, show us that the importance of morality is related to freedom and human dignity.

Human Values and Religious Freedom

VALORILE UMANE ȘI LIBERTATEA RELIGIOASĂ

Author(s): Robert Marian Puiescu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 3/2022

Keywords: freedom; values; religion; Christianity; revelation;

Human values are a reflection of the immortal principles springing from the will of God, which shine in our world the divine attributes. Human freedom is the most precious divine gift that supports the permanent human ascent towards perfection. Between values and freedom there is a close connection, because without freedom, man cannot deepen the values in his life, and without values he cannot live freely. Values, like freedom, manifest the will of God and guide man towards the fulfillment of his vocation. The true and unique values are only those that derive from the will of God, because there are also so-called values as an expression of all kinds of ideologies, which in fact are only the distorted expression of truth and human will enslaved to sin, darkness and death.

Sonic Zarazas and the Window Technique in Adrian Iorgulescu's Flute and Clarinet Concertos

Sonic Zarazas and the Window Technique in Adrian Iorgulescu's Flute and Clarinet Concertos

Author(s): Diana Rotaru / Language(s): English / Issue: 47/2021

Keywords: Romanian contemporary music; postmodernism in music; quotation technique;

Zaraza, the gorgeous gypsy girl that a famous singer from the inter-war period fell madly in love with, does not exist in reality: it’s just an urban legend, a synecdoche for the Bucharest of the old days, with its cosmopolitan charm of the romances and the tangos. In reality, “zaraza” is just a word extracted from the original text of the Argentinian melody, with the much more prosaic meaning of “ox”. Still, Zaraza’s legend lingers in the collective vernacular consciousness. Like Schrödinger’s cat, “Zaraza” exists and doesn’t exist, at the same time. In a similar fashion, the ironic “residual musics” from Adrian Iorgulescu’s works – and I take as example his flute and clarinet concertos – are at the same time apparently anecdotic stylistic fractures and generative themes for the rest of the music material, through fragmentation and sophisticated development techniques. They are both real and not, as the composer uses both quotations and fake-quotations. They shock – and yet, they don’t. Their strength resides in their ambiguity. This window-form towards other musical paradigms and meanings is similar to that used by Italian composer Salvatore Sciarrino, with a completely different sonic result.
