A certain type of cumulative texts typical of the Bulgarian children’s folklore presents the subject of investigation in the present paper. The major topics of these texts are those concerned with family, marriage and meals. They are marked by a comparatively small variety and by an uniform beginning. The cues are arranged in a ‘cause-and-effect’ chain by means of the obligatory question of “Why?” (“What for?”). The action is directed from the present to the future. The author raises the question of the polyfunctional character of the type of texts under investigation and, more particularly, the problem of the presence of these rhymes in the Christmas song cycle of Bulgarians and Russians alike. It is proved, on a comparative basis that the texts under consideration do not differ in terms of composition from the dialogues in the ‘eagle and brood-hen’ game. An explanation of the contents of the game is sought. Some questions are raised regarding its form, i.e., the way in which it is acted out.

The present article is the first attempt at a textual criticism of some excerpts from Stefan Verković’s collection of “Folksongs of the Bulgarians from Macedonia” (Serbian edition: Narodne pesme makedonski bugara, Beograd, 1860). An analysis of this kind is essential as, due to a number of circumstances, there are many mistakes in the texts recorded by Verković, which undermine the linguistic as well as the artistic value of the folk songs.

I affirm that from the theoretical and in general the material privileged position enjoyed by anthropologist is a duty for them to shed some light in the power relations in which the dispossessed and the deprived are involved, to make through the development of theory but also through different types of direct action a remedy to the structural violence which is reflected in individual suffering.

The most substantial environmental mobilization in post-communist Romania is represented by Save Roşia Montană, a movement that opposes the European biggest open pit, cyanide-based gold and silver extraction project proposed by Gabriel Resources Ltd., a multi-national mining company based in Toronto. Over the last 12 years, it has become the most significant Romanian environmental conflict, with a significant national and international impact. Environmental and ecological justice can become an important frame for explaining the conflicts over environmental conditions, cultural and historical heritage preservation, cultural landscape, indigenous lands, identity, and ways of life in Roşia Montană, thus understanding the most significant environmental movement in Romania. The main hypothesis of my research is that the environmental movement that opposes the cyanide based gold mining project in Roşia Montană is primarily an environmental justice movement, being the first of its kind in Romania.

In this article our intention is to research the role and development of leadership public marketing in public sector of Romania. Generally, Romania has noticed that there is a great discrepancy between how the public sector is perceived nowadays and how the national interest should be seen now or in the future. Romanian society, however, becomes more diverse and the public institutions are thus more flexible. However, their meaning and use changes when put in a public context. Taking into consideration the last 3 decades of NPM reforms both marketing and leadership got a new meaning for public organizations. The research methodology is based on an empirical analysis. Thus, in order to be able to reach relevant conclusions I will apply in my analysis both qualitative and quantitative research methods. A theoretical part is followed by a legal framework and supported in the end by comparative study examples.

The present paper discusses the economic, environmental, and geopolitical consequences of the ongoing unconventional hydrocarbons ―revolution‖ in North America. It offers a conceptual framework and attends to the contentious issues surrounding the environmental and social acceptability of shale gas. It explains the technological and financial specifics of shale operations, and derives the geopolitical implications of this game-changing process, under the conservative assumption that the upsurge will not be exportable in any significant measure before the end of the current decade. Eventually, the prospect of the Romanian shale gas exploration and production is discussed.

The hereinafter paper represents an analysis of jurisdictionally administrative institutions within the national administrative system, taking into consideration the range of competencies, limits of exercising powers and last but not least their organisation and functioning. The emergence of the present paper was dictated by the lack of a unitary viewpoint regarding the organisation and functioning principles and by the lack of features through which administrative jurisdictions should be characterized, fact that leads to frequent usage of the term in order to define authorities which do not meet the conditions for jurisdictions but only the conditions of mere controlling administrative bodies.

Social enterprise represents a special type of organization. Nevertheless, the greatest challenge for social enterprise is the capacity to ―survive‖, the capacity to adapt to the continuous changing market social needs, the capacity to become visible and attract supporters, as a notion the capacity to be sustainable. The recommended approach in this regard is a marketing approach, by applying specific instruments for a socio-economical profile, making use of good practices in marketing, non profit marketing, public marketing and the most important social marketing. In order to analyze the current level of adopting and integrating marketing instruments by social enterprises, it is necessary to observe the marketing activity within this type of organizations. The sample for analyzing the phenomenon is represented by specific developing organizations and specific experienced organizations, in the region of South Eastern Europe.
