In today's economies, investment in education and in the training employees are at least as important as investments in heritage. We live increasingly longer in an economy based on information, technology and production, in which methods are changed rapidly and constantly. Human capital formation should be approached at least as good as physical capital formation and the reform in education should strive to treat the former obviously.

For centuries, the oasis dwellers of the Algerian Sahara exploit the ground water through the use of traditional techniques such as foggaras (traditional technique of irrigation in the Algerian southwest), and wells of chadouf (pendulum wells). In the oasis of Lahmar, in Southwest Algeria, the farmers use foggaras (known by the name of foggaras ain - foggaras of source) to irrigate their fields. Nowadays though, due to the indiscriminate use of modern systems (boreholes and pumps) to procure water for irrigation and urban consumption, over-exploitation and drying off of water sources have been one the rise while traditional techniques are becoming day by day out of service and, what is more, palm groves have almost completely disappeared.

The author, discussing the paradigm of sustainable development, refers it to the specificity of a small town. As a consequence, comparing distinctive factors influencing the development of a small town in a spirit of sustainable development, attempts to build a model of such a city, offering a tool for its controlling and monitoring in the form of a set of criteria. The article also attempts to answer two fundamental questions: first – what is the meaning of sustainable development, second – how the sustainable development of a small town differs from a broad sense of big city sustainable development?

THE PURPOSE OF THIS PAPER IS TO HIGHLIGHT THE ROLE AND PLACE OF CONVERSION IN LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY. WITHOUT FIXING DOGMA, WE WANT TO MAKE A MODEST CONTRIBUTION TO THE INDICATIONS AND BENEFITS OF A CONVERSION MADE AT AN OPPORTUNE MOMENT, OUTLINING IT AS A PRUDENT SOLUTION THAT AVOIDS IATROGENIC LESIONS, BUT ALSO AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO REPAIR THEM WHEN THESE HAVE OCCURRED. CONVERSION IS THE WAY IN WHICH THE LIMITS OF LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY ARE FILLED. WE ALSO WANT TO DRAW ATTENTION TO HOW THE INCIDENCE OF THE METHOD HAS EVOLVED AND WHAT EFFORTS ARE BEING MADE TO REDUCE THE CONVERSION RATE INTO LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY.THE LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY CONVERSION REPRESENTS A VALUABLE DECISION WHITCH COMPLETES THE LIMITS OF LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY IN SOLVING INTRAOPERATORY INCIDENTS AND ACCIDENTS.THIS DECISION MUST BELONGS EXCLUSIVELY TO SURGEON WHO NEEDS TO EVALUATE IN AN APPLIED RIGHT, PRUDENT AND WITHOUT AMPLIFIED PRIDE WAY, HIS SURGICAL POTENTIAL, HIS TEAM POTENTIAL AND THE AVAILABLE TECHNICAL CONDITIONSWE STUDIED A GROUP OF 135 PATIENTS WHO UNDERWENT A CLASICAL CHOLECYSTECTOMY CONVERTED FROM A LAPAROSCOPIC ONE, PERFORMED IN THE IV TH SURGERY CLINIC OF CRAIOVA IN THE PERIOD 2001-2015.

The essay brings together two different approaches to the question of ethos. On the one hand it examines the phenomenon of speaking the truth or parrhesia in Foucault’s later work as a discursive praxis on which a new ethos could be founded. On the other hand, it brings Foucault’s genealogical analysis of our relation to our selves in contrast to Heidegger’s approach, in which the latter returns to one of the forgotten meanings of the word ethos, that is, of dwelling, which he encompasses in his broader analysis of a more fundamental poetic dwelling of man. This encounter between the two thinkers on the battlefield of different concepts of language came about somewhat accidentally in an attempt to confront their interpretations of Heraclitus, a figure which they both place very firmly but differently with regard to the question of ethos. Whereas for Foucault Heraclitus is an example of a sage who refuses to confront the truth of the other in a parrhesiastic encounter, for Heidegger, it is exactly Heraclitus, who provides us with a fundamental insight into the meaning of ethos and the question of truth. The analysis is even more interesting as it is based on two well know anecdotes about Heraclitus, which both Heidegger and Foucault analyze in different ways. The essay thus provides on the one hand an entryway into Foucault’s genealogical working style and offers on the other hand some key insights into Heidegger’s later thought. It is more than anything an attempt to think about ethics through the work of two post-Nietzschean thinkers, outside any form of normativity or metaphysics, with a focus on the historicity of thought.

The present text interprets the appearance of the book called Music for Everyone, written by the prominent Bulgarian musicologist Ivan Kamburov back in 1937 in the context of the emergence of the public radio in Bulgaria. That process created the need to promote a number of musicological issues among a broad listening audience – aesthetic, historical and theoretical issues referred to the function of fundamental styles, genres, forms and processes of music. Alongside the detailed comparative analysis of the structure, significance and function of Kamburov’s work, the paper highlights some aspects of the social environment, the attempt to form musiccultural consciousness, and specific points of the cultural strategy. Among them are the specific focus on folklore music and its significance for professional music, popular 146 at the time music practices and music. The paper highlights the broad humanitarian basis, vivid modern reflection, emotional fullness, reliance on contemporary knowledge and technologies combined in the author’s professional method, through which the popular Music for Everyone affected the broad public at its time. That could serve today as a motivating example of the specific professional educational methods in the field of music.
