OFFICIAL LANGUAGE, SYMBOL OF MODERN STATE

OFFICIAL LANGUAGE, SYMBOL OF MODERN STATE

Author(s): Marin Butuc / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: literary language; national language; culture language; national state; linguistic legislation; informational space; hybrid war

According to international standards, the official language of a nation state represents a part of national security. Speaking about the official language in the Republic of Moldova and its degree of functionality, unfortunately it is obvious that historical language does not correspond to the official language present in a national, sovereign and independent state. In our opinion, this situation represents not only a linguistic danger at the level of correctness of Romanian language in the Republic of Moldova, but also a danger at the level of national security, in the case when propagandistic intentions of the Russian Federation are obvious, by using a wide range of mass-media sources, aiming at the impairment of values and aspirations of state politics.According to sociolinguistic theses, two literary languages cannot coexist in a nation state, because it conducts to an impairment. Therefore, the state faces a difficult situation, determined by the fact that it is supposed to promote two different cultures, and also two different national politics – actually, it represents an enormous paradox and absurdity.This situation does not correspond to the international standards, and it is obvious the fact that we live in a state, impaired in various domains: linguistics, culture, politics and mass-media. Nowadays, the most widely used language is not the language that involves great number of speakers, but the language that is spread in the field of mass-media (for example: Russian language functionality in the majority Former Soviet Countries). It represents that kind of language that has a bigger material support for being promoted, and it also monopolizes press and audiovisual. Thereby, it is necessary to adopt a new Legislation in the Republic of Moldova in the field of linguistics, and new laws in accordance to the international standards of an official language in an independent and sovereign state.

Study on the Sources of Stress in the School Organization

Study on the Sources of Stress in the School Organization

Author(s): Maria Magdalena Stan / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: occupational stress; stress sources; stress effects; teacher; school organization.

Very often called “disease of the century”, stress, whose consequences upon individual life are serious, chiefly affects the professional categories in which interpersonal relations are important, teachers being included herein. The studies show that stress affects not only the physical body, generating professional diseases, but also job satisfaction and the individual well-being within the organization.Undoubtedly, in the school organization, stress represents a complex theme to be analysed and investigated in order to identify the generating causes/sources and the possible directions of intervention in order to ameliorate /diminish their effects upon the individual.Occupational stress is both the cause and effect of professional diseases. Among the factors which affect teacher’s health, we can mention overstress of the nervous system, disappointment, frustration, job insecurity, economic and political decisions, poor status, etc. The impact of professional diseases upon teachers determines routine, lack of initiative, absenteeism, depression, stress and eventually abandon. (Report CE, 2000). The present study proposes to identify the sources of stress perceived by teachers in the school organization. The study has been performed on a sample of 54 teachers, having a didactic experience between 5 and 40 years. The results obtained had been analysed through personal variables such as sex, age, levels of education, didactic experience and types of school, which play an important role in the perception of the different stress sources connected to the didactic profession.

LANDSCAPING THE MEDIA MARKET AND IDEOLOGICAL POSITIONING

LANDSCAPING THE MEDIA MARKET AND IDEOLOGICAL POSITIONING

Author(s): Igor Munteanu / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: Moldova; Russia; media; communication; information; media market; ideological positioning; editorial policy; language; bias;

News-making is a powerful instrument for shaping public sentiment. We have attempted to map the Moldovan media in order to highlight its variety. Three factors were considered in positioning the various media outlets on the chart: (1) Are the media outlets state owned or privately owned? (2) Do they broadcast in Russian or in Romanian? (3) Do they use cultural/ geopolitical framing? Ownership data is publicly available, but the rest of the information was gleaned by surveying the editorial line of each media outlet.

The Republic of Moldova’s European Integration Process - No Longer Targets Adherence

Author(s): Leonid Litră / Language(s): English

Each year, the IDIS „Viitorul” team analyzes the state of Moldova’s European integration process. In our previous Foreign Policy Statewatch analyses, we ascertained that the European integration is irreversible process, we stated the erosion of the viability of a consensus over the European integration process, we defined the circumstances under which EU’s fatigue towards Moldova1 could arise, and we evaluated and offered recommendations on improving and harmonizing the process. Moldova’s new political configuration provides ground for a short evaluation of the trends in Moldova’s approximation to EU.

Abuse of a Dominant Position

Abuse of a Dominant Position

Author(s): Ovidiu Horia Maican / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: dominant position; abuse; competition; relevant market;

Several elements can be considered that lead to configuring the specificity of abuse of a dominant position in a competitive context. The Court of Justice has defined the dominant position referred to in art. 82 (ex 86) EC as a "position of economic power in which there is an undertaking which enables it to hinder effective competition in order to be maintained in a relevant market in order to give it the power to behave independently of its competitors, its customers and, ultimately, consumers".

The Somatic Idiomatic “Fear” Concept in the Book of the Prophet Jeremiah

The Somatic Idiomatic “Fear” Concept in the Book of the Prophet Jeremiah

Author(s): Mirela Beatris Munteanu / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: affectives; fear; fright; emotion;

In this article we intend to study lexemes that express emotions produced by fear from the perspective of lexicography and prophetic semantics, the lexem generating, depending on the relationship between the linguistic sense and the literary image, different directions of meaning: direct through constitutive features of the semantics of ascending emotions or indirect, through the syntactic structures in which they integrate. From the perspective of conceptual analysis (studying the meaning of all the words and expressions that are associated with a certain concept and which includes their systematization) we defined the term as a cultural phenomenon accompanied by a specific historical development, corresponding to the keyword of the proposed topic, also having an important presence in the Biblical text.

A Perspective on Quality of Life

A Perspective on Quality of Life

Author(s): Norina Popovici,Ionela Munteanu-Florea / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: Quality of life; well-being; relationships; social; independence; recreation;

In the first part of the paper we approached theoretical notions regarding the quality of life, as a complex feature of the economic, political, social and ideological factors, which determine the human situation in society. The quality of life gives value to the life of a man, shows how and to what extent the conditions of life offer man the possibility of satisfying his many needs, the degree to which life is satisfactory to the individual. In this article, we analysed the data collected through a questionnaire from a sample of 129 students from the Faculty of Economic Sciences. The purpose of the questionnaire was to collect information on several indicators of the student’s quality of life (QOL). The indicators considered were measured through the help of some items present in the questionnaire. In the following, we were interested in analysing, from a statistical point of view, the results collected from the questionnaire. For this, we first identified descriptive characteristics of the calculated indicators. Since the values of the characteristics are real numbers, obtained as averages of Likert scores, we considered it appropriate, to apply analysis procedures specific to quantitative statistical variables, numerically (averages, dispersions, correlation analyses). As part of statistical modelling, we intended to check whether the independent variable, introduced as a QOL indicator after proposing the 5 basic types of indicators, is absolutely necessary to be taken from users, or if it is possible that its values are deduced by means of a linear model from the other variables. The conclusion of my study is that the variable is not fully explained by a linear combination of the other variables that shape QOL indicators.

FROM LINGUISTIC USE TO LITERARY NORM

DE LA UZUL LINGVISTIC SPRE NORMA LITERARĂ

Author(s): Violeta-Cristina Grefelian / Language(s): Romanian / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: norm; language; linguistic usage; speech; rules;

The purpose of this article is to underline aspects which deal with linguistic usage and literary norm, namely the language itself, trying to convey an overall view on language (evolution). So, the effort to define the concept of “language” and “speech” or “language norms” represents only a few fundamental aspects which we particularly analysed in-depth in order to reveal data regarding the roots which represent the basis of our language structure. Therefore, for this purpose, we took into account Humboldt’s statement on written and spoken language but also Coseriu’s, Ferrer’s, Philippide’s, and Al. Gafton’s theories on norm.Regardless of whether we speak about the vivid display of an individual, social activity, or real behaviour, language is normed. What we want to say is that, most of the time, the individual is limited in the way he expresses himself as he is subjected to a well-bounded system of rules, simply called: norm. According to Coseriu’s conception, there are two types of norm: linguistic norm (shows how it is said) and literary norm (shows how it should be said). Furthermore, Al. Gafton points out that the main concern of norms is to avoid aleatory spoken immersion, discontinuity, and lack of coherence.A language is a historical being, meaning it has its own historical life: a beginning, an ongoing process, and an end.

Comments on the Protection of the Portrait and the Consignee of Correspondence in Romania

Comments on the Protection of the Portrait and the Consignee of Correspondence in Romania

Author(s): Nicolae Popa,Adriana Tulus / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: intellectual property; multiplication right; use of the work;

In the matter of copyright, Romanian legislation sets out a number of rights in terms of protection and use of a creation containing a person's portrait. In this respect, the rights which the person has in relation to the publication and reproduction of these works are provided in Law 8/1996. In this paper we propose to present aspects of the protection of the portrait, the consignee of correspondence and the secret of the source of information as provided for in Articles 89 to 92 of the above law, together with opinions and comments from the specialist doctrine on these articles. We also pointed out the link of this text of law with the general rule, namely the Civil Code, and we have exemplified with the case-law certain situations that may arise, in order to emphasize the particular importance to be granted to regulations in the field. We believe that this topic is of great interest in the context of the technological advance and the development of communication that relieves the transmission of information and we believe that this work will help to better understand legal regulations on this topic.

Considerations on the Vices of Consent at the Conclusion of the Civil Legal Act in Romania

Considerations on the Vices of Consent at the Conclusion of the Civil Legal Act in Romania

Author(s): Cristian Dan / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: civil law; violence; deceit; error; injury; vice of consent;

Any civil patrimonial report born, modified or extinguished and of great value is concluded by one person, in the case of unilateral acts, or several persons in the case of bilateral or multilateral acts. The legal act, however, in order to be valid, ends with the observance of the essential conditions to produce its effects in exactly as the parties agreed at the time of their manifestation of will. However, even with the best of intentions, there are situations where the act is affected by certain vices of consent such as error, and other times when at least one of the parties pursues a hidden interest and uses certain malicious maneuvers or even violence to cause the other party to conclude a legal report. In these circumstances, if the vice is proved, the act thus concluded entails the sanction of relative nullity. The paper aims to analyze each of the vices of consent to the conclusion of legal acts from the perspective of civil law related to the legislation in force in Romania and the fundamental law of the Romanian state, viewed from the perspective of other branches of law closely related to civil law. Some conclusions at the end of the paper will aim to combine the four vices of consent and explain its entire content.

The reports in the "Euromonitor" series aim at independent and objective monitoring of the implementation process of the Republic of Moldova - European Union Action Plan. The actions adopted and implemented by both signatories of the Plan will be monitored quarterly. The action plan is a complex document, structured in 7 chapters, which provides for the implementation of about 300 actions, some defined more or less precisely, others very ambiguous. Unable to monitor such a complex document, the authors of "Euromonitor" focused on priority actions, identified in the Action Plan itself.

The Laying Hands, Religion or Social?

Author(s): Mihai Stoicescu / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: ethics; morality; values; miracles;

The 21st century will be a religious one or not. The revolutions in the former communist bloc seemed to turn the world into churches and set the tone for bringing religion back to the forefront. A rediscovery of the values of the Christian faith will produce a pure and true religion. One of these values is putting hands. Both Jesus Christ and the apostles were healed, "poured out" the Holy Spirit upon the converts, and consecrated men to the ministry by laying on of hands.

Keywords: health;ethics;sustainability;food security;growth and employment;

Bio-economic and ethical management in the development of a business in the fisheries sector in the context of a “One Health” aims to implement the objectives of the Europe 2020 Strategy in terms of exploiting the potential of aquaculture in Romania and the European Union. Aquaculture plays an important role both in Romania and in the European Union in terms of developing a business in this sector, taking into account the ethical component but also the potential of food resources. In order to ensure an adequate level of health in the sector, it is necessary to ensure an adequate management that uses the potential of fishery resources in accordance with the objectives of food security and sustainable development of the European strategy.

Legislative and Jurisprudential Analysis Regarding the Satisfaction of Romanian Patients Regarding the Performance of the National Health System

Author(s): Cristina-Luiza Erimia / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: patient satisfaction; European law; national legislation; health system

Health spending in Romania is the lowest in the EU, both per capita and as a percentage of GDP, and lack of financial resources and demographic challenges endanger the sustainability of the health system. Because a key factor of patient satisfaction is the responsiveness of the national healthcare system and the strategic changes’ implementation, this article aims to analyse how the standard of protection created at the level of the European Union by means of the Directive on cross-border healthcare is implemented and complied with in national legislation. A modern healthcare system must be centred on patient needs, to have dynamic and integrated structures, adaptable to the various and changing healthcare needs of society in general and of individuals in particular. For these reasons, by presenting the Petru case, the article examines the degree of harmonization of national policies in view of reforming the national health system, contributing to social cohesion and social justice, as well as to eliminate any restrictions to the fundamental freedoms of European citizens.

The Effects Brought by the SARS-CoV-2 Virus over the Civil Law Reports in Romania

The Effects Brought by the SARS-CoV-2 Virus over the Civil Law Reports in Romania

Author(s): Cristian Dan / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: pandemic; civil law; legal;restrictions;

The birth and spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus has exerted an influence over social and professional areas. Many domains of activity had to be restrained and suspended, due to the measure represented by the social distancing, implemented for the safety and protection of the citizens. In this manner, numerous social relationships were reduced, other being postponed for an unknown period. Also, the hold posted on the courts processes made the closing of some civil cases rather impossible. The right to property suffered modifications, composed by the restrictions placed on it. As an example, we can bring into evidence the option to transmit a property from one person to another, which could not be done in the last months at full capacity. The presidential decree emitted in Romania, in the first part of the pandemic, with the purpose of instating the state of emergency, has brought consequences over the civil law reports. The current paperwork will analyze the effects of the state of emergency over the civil part of the law. Next, the article will explore the alternatives used by the subjects of the law to complete the civil processes in the conditions provided. The conclusions will clarify the information in order to provide a better understanding of the consequences resulted from the tackling with this disease.
