ASPECTS ON THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK IN THE CYBER DEFENCE FIELD

ASPECTS ON THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK IN THE CYBER DEFENCE FIELD

Author(s): Eugen Valeriu Popa / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: public good; cyberspace; cyber defence; security; international cooperation

On the national and transnational level, legal aspects of cyber security are mainly presented in relation to the criminal law; its main aspects are emphasized by the fragmentation of basic and procedural national criminal law, as well by the efforts for their harmonizing. The diversity of national laws is one of main reasons for vulnerabilities generated by informatics criminality phenomenon worldwide, mainly because such diversity does not allow the development of an unique legislative response to the global phenomenon. The main goal of our scientific study is to emphasize some aspects on the legal framework in the cyber defence field.

Paul Miclău – poetic greatness between Romanian and French

PAUL MICLĂU, PERSONNALITÉ MARQUANTE DE L’ESPACE ROUMAIN ET FRANCOPHONE

Author(s): Tamara Ceban / Language(s): French / Publication Year: 0

Paul Miclău is a Romanian writer of French expression,characterised by deep sensitivity and rich imagination. He is the author of more than 2400 sonnets, an oustanding translator and a dedicated researcher. This article will reveal his significantcontribution – both in Romanian and French – within the Romanian culture. Unfortunately, such accomplishments are quite rare in the Romanian space nowadays. The spirituality pervading his work is expressed with such an intensity that the author seems to strive hard in order to counterbalance the vastness of his theoretical and applied research.

Moldova: from oligarchic pluralism to Plahotniuc’s hegemony

Moldova: from oligarchic pluralism to Plahotniuc’s hegemony

Author(s): Kamil Całus / Language(s): English

Keywords: Moldova; Vlad Plahotniuc

Moldova’s political system took shape due to the six-year rule of the Alliance for European Integration coalition but it has undergone a major transformation over the past six months. Resorting to skilful political manoeuvring and capitalising on his control over the Moldovan judiciary system, Vlad Plahotniuc, one of the leaders of the nominally pro-European Democratic Party and the richest person in the country, was able to bring about the arrest of his main political competitor, the former prime minister Vlad Filat, in October 2015. Then he pushed through the nomination of his trusted aide, Pavel Filip, for prime minister. In effect, Plahotniuc has concentrated political and business influence in his own hands on a scale unseen so far in Moldova’s history since 1991. All this indicates that he already not only controls the judiciary, the anti-corruption institutions, the Constitutional Court and the economic structures, but has also subordinated the greater part of parliament and is rapidly tightening his grip on the section of the state apparatus which until recently was influenced by Filat.

The Academic Incubator as a Fluid Mosaic: An Ecological Interpretive Framework

The Academic Incubator as a Fluid Mosaic: An Ecological Interpretive Framework

Author(s): Giovanni Battista Dagnino / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: academic incubators; fluid mosaic model; incubator strategic entrepreneurship; governing policy; entrepreneurial ecosystem

Extant incubator research has offered attention to the description of incubator facilities and structure. At the same time, less consideration has been given to the incubatees (Hackett and Dilt, 2004), and more specifically to network activities (private as well as business-related) among firms located in this type of incubator. Therefore, additional research is required to investigate incubators’ internal functioning mechanisms, identifying the key elements that positively influence the establishment and development of new ventures within it. To improve our understanding of incubation internal dynamics and relationship evolution, we propose a conceptual framework that looks at the academic incubator on the ground of the cell biology-rooted fluid mosaic model, which is related to the cell membrane structure, as a fruitful way to look at incubatee relationships. We illustrate the benefits of this vantage viewpoint for looking at new venture development within the incubator and present a few key implications for incubator strategic entrepreneurship and governing policy.

After the fall of communism in December 1989, a feverish period of political and social changes ensued. A new political order took shape, instituted by and instituting a new social imaginary. In the process, old myths were brought back to life in order to give meaning and significance to the new reality, as well as to determine political and social cohesion and coherence.This chapter looks at the structures of the post-communist social imaginary in Romania through the lenses of the mythology constructed to make sense of the past and to provide significance to the present.

The Year 2000 Elections in Romania: Interethnic Relations and European Integration

The Year 2000 Elections in Romania: Interethnic Relations and European Integration

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

Keywords: Romanian Anti-Hungarianism; Roma in Romania;

Despite the difficulties that have beset Romania in its transition from communism to democracy, it boasts a most important success in interethnic relations. Few would have predicted, after the disastrous violence between Romanians and ethnic Hungarians in Tirgu Mures in 1990, that only six years later the ethnic Hungarian party would be a respected member of Romania’s governing coalition.The Project on Ethnic Relations was an active participant in bringing about this result, initiating the first discussions and negotiations between leaders of the preceding government and the Hungarian minority, and replacing confrontation with a pattern of dialogue that persists to this day. The achievement, however, is untested by time. With the year 2000 elections underway in Romania, ethnic issues are already being raised in the campaign.

Keywords: internationalization; university autonomy; international cooperation; international mobility; internationalization strategies; strategic management; strategic priorities

The reason of discussing the topic of internationalization derives from the necessity of integrating the Universities of the Republic of Moldova into the unique European area of knowledge and research, the need to facilitate the cooperation and international mobility activities of teachers and students. The research focuses on the intention to highlight the need for a strategic approach to the processes of internationalization of education and research in the HEI of the Republic of Moldova, the analysis of the needs, the challenges, but also the finding of the appropriate solutions within the framework of the "ELEVATE - Elevating the Internationalisation of Higher Education in Moldova, Reference number: 573921-EPP-1-2016-1-MD-EPPKA2-CBHE-SP project co-funded by the Erasmus + Program of the European Union.

Strategii didactice pentru formarea abilităților de calcul la copiii cu sindromul DOWN

Strategii didactice pentru formarea abilităților de calcul la copiii cu sindromul DOWN

Author(s): Adriana Cernei,Valeriu Cabac / Language(s): Romanian / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: Teaching strategies; multi-sensory learning techniques; calculating skills; children with Down Syndrome

The teaching strategies are characterized by flexibility, adapting them to the situations, learning conditions, but also the target group to which they are oriented. Adaptive restructuring of strategies depends on several factors, such as: - creativity and spontaneity of the teacher; - ability to identify the student's needs, - the possibility to use the child's strengths. Teaching strategies for training computing skills in children with Down Syndrome require a complex of interventions, resources, ways of activating them, of combining and arousing using "productive" devices of knowledge, mobilization, association and memorization. constructivist approaches as the teacher ensures that the process of teaching, learning and assessment will be focused on providing the information necessary for students to learn and think, practicing logical thinking, analytical, critical, synthesis, evaluation and resolution skills. of problems.

The Issue of Revocability of the Mandate in Common Interest

The Issue of Revocability of the Mandate in Common Interest

Author(s): Dana-Lucia Tulai / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: mandate; revocation; common interest; indemnity;

Our scientific approach aims to bring to attention a typology of contract that is as old as it is current. Today, more than ever, the mandate contract proves its usefulness, especially as a legal mechanism that provides an extremely flexible juridical framework for many professional activities. The doctrine revealed the complexity of the legal relations derived from this type of conventions, relations that are complicated especially in those situations, quite frequent, in which the principal chooses to unilaterally revoke the mandate conferred. An issue that legal doctrine has paid special attention to is that of the revocability of the mandate in common interest. The revocability of such a mandate agreement is questionable, given that the principal's discretionary right to revoke the mandate is based precisely on the fact that the mandate was conferred in his interest, and therefore only he is able to assess whether his interest has been pursued and fulfilled by the trustee or not. We consider that the principal retains the right to revoke the contract, but with the correlative obligation to compensate the agent for any damage caused, unless the cause of revocation is the proven fault of the agent, or a fortuitous cause, which makes it impossible for the principal to continue the contract.

Hostile Narratives and Their Impact: The Case of Latvia

Hostile Narratives and Their Impact: The Case of Latvia

Author(s): Māris Cepurītis,Austris Keišs / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: Latvia; hostile narratives; story vs. narrative; strategic communication; impact of hostile narratives; narrative as phenomenon; politics;

Narrative often is compared to a story. But authors of NATO Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence distinguish in their publication ‘Improving NATO Strategic Communications Terminology’ between a story and a narrative, defining story as ‘a temporally, spatially, and casually connected sequence of events’ and a narrative as ‘morals drawn from stories’. Consequently, stories are a way how narrative is communicated and shared between individuals. It is formed and maintained in human memory. In social and political context, narrative can be described as a framework that allows humans to connect apparently unconnected phenomena around some causal transformation.

Innovative Solutions for Local Public Administration in the Process of the Waste Collection

Innovative Solutions for Local Public Administration in the Process of the Waste Collection

Author(s): Răzvan-Aurelian Munteanu / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: innovation;sustainable development;waste collection;

Sustainable development has always been one of the most important policies implemented by the European Union, mentioned in different treaties over time. In 2015, European Union is setting 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) with 169 targets within the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Developement. European Union is preseting the SDG 11 Goal aim ”to renew and plan cities and other human settlements in a way that they offer opportunities for all, with access to servicies, energy, housing, transportation, green public spaces, while improving resource use and reducing environmental impacts”.The EU is monitoring the progress towards SDGs for all member states through different indicators, like the recycling rate of municipal waste for SDG 11. In 2018, Romania has the recyling rate of municipal waste of only 11,11%, far away from the average of EU of 47,4%.The local public administrations have an important role in increasing the recyling rate, by providing the best services for the citizens and, in the same time, by reducing the costs of these services. In this matter, the paper presents an innovative solution regarding the waste collection in the largest District from Bucharest, Romania.The underground waste collection platforms represent and alternative for the classic platforms and the innovation comes from the smart component that they integrate, represented by the filling sensors that communicate directly to the sanitation operator.The monitoring system has direct effect by incresing the efficiency of the waste collections process, as follows: reduces the waste collection cost by 50%; improves the services provided for the citizens; predicts waste generation patterns based on data; refines waste collection processes over time; optimizes routing and navigation etc.

Protection of Children in Difficulty under Romanian Law

Protection of Children in Difficulty under Romanian Law

Author(s): Ciprian Raul Romițan / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: minor; parental authority; special protection

At present, in Romania, the main form of child protection is the parental authority, but in some cases, it can also be done through state intervention through its specialized bodies by means of alternative protection measures (by guardianship and special protection measures). Where the minor is temporarily or definitively deprived of the protection of his or her parents or cannot be left in their care, in order to protect his or her interests, the law establishes some special protection measures. In Romania, the legislation on the protection and promotion of the child's rights provides for special protection measures, such as placement, emergency placement and specialized supervision. The study presents and analyzes legal regulations regarding the special protection of the child who is temporarily or permanently deprived of parental protection.

The Notary Public - An Important Pawn in the Development of the Entrepreneurial Environment In-Depth Analysis of Real Estate

The Notary Public - An Important Pawn in the Development of the Entrepreneurial Environment In-Depth Analysis of Real Estate

Author(s): Nicoleta-Raina Geamalinga / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: entrepreneurial environment; business law; digitalization; notary public; real estate;

At the beginning of the third millennium, the business environment is undergoing unprecedented developments, largely due to the many events facing humanity - the COVID-19 pandemic, war, the rapid transition to renewable energy, economic globali-sation and the emergence of multinationals - thus accelerating digitisation. Digitisation in the business environment involves the use of tools and technologies that make work more efficient, create new business 'patterns', but at the same time requires an appropriate legislative framework. The legal "industry" is faced with the challenge of finding legislative solutions to bridge the gap between the entrenched realities of the entrepreneurial environment and the digital future of business. And this extremely difficult task falls to a large extent to legal practitioners, among whom an important position is occupied by the notary public, especially in the field of real estate. Real estate is inextricably linked to the notary public. The notary public must be able to act as a temporal portal between the established practice of real estate transactions and digital real estate transactions. At the same time, the notary public must rethink the methods of application of the various institutions of civil law in order to guarantee the safety and security of each party involved.

TEXT ACOUSTICS PHENOMENA IN THE HUNGARIAN MEDIA OF ROMANIA

FENOMENE LEGATE DE ACUSTICA TEXTELOR ÎN AUDIOVIZUALUL DE LIMBĂ MAGHIARĂ DIN ROMÂNIA

Author(s): Réka Suba / Language(s): Romanian / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: modality and manner of reading; pronunciation; intonation; Hungarian audio-visual media;

The informative programmes of radio and television stations mainly work with texts that are usually written down and then read out, and this phenomenon can affect and subvert the acoustic features of these texts, i.e. the tone and voice of their presentation. Professional speakers have given place to professional readers. Nevertheless, reading encompasses two interrelated yet strongly individualized factors: the text and the sound of voice, which may entail two additional issues: the modality and manner of reading and the reader’s suitability to accomplish this kind of task. Our culture, more and more focused on reading out, raises an essential question: that of taking into consideration the potentials and circumstances of transmitting oral messages in the media, as bad pronunciation, poor intonation or redundant breaks can alter the natural flow of oral discourses in such a way that receivers fail to decode the message properly. The data of this research were collected during the monitoring process of the Hungarian audio-visual media, which was carried out in Romania in November and December 2010 and 2011.

The negative attitude towards this matter is being strongly presented in our days.

NUCLEAR GEOSTRATEGY OF THE POST-COLD WAR ERA

NUCLEAR GEOSTRATEGY OF THE POST-COLD WAR ERA

Author(s): Marius-Cristian Neacșu,Silviu Neguţ / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Keywords: nuclear geopolitics; nuclear geostrategy; nuclear power; nuclear security;

The use of nuclear energy has changed the world's geopolitical and geostrategic landscape irreversibly, distinguishing another attribute of "high power", namely that of nuclear power, which not only means the possession of a nuclear arsenal but also trade in civil nuclear technology (nuclear reactors for electricity generation) placing the selling state and the buyer in a geopolitical relationship. What's new? The emergence of a new nuclear military power, China, perceived as a "growing tiger", and new exporters of civil nuclear technology, Russia and China, which now concentrate 2/3 of reactor construction in the world after the long period of the Cold War when the global civilian nuclear energy market was dominated by the US.
