The Book in the Era of Facebook and Twitter

Author(s): Ismail Serageldin / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

We live in an era where the standard of communications is the 140-character Tweet. This is creating a culture of superficiality where celebrity replaceswell-earned fame, and where opinion is everything. Truth is treated as subjectivestatement, and the new media dominate the public discourse. Yet Books remainplentiful, and there is an ever increasing number printed and sold every year. Butwhat will the book bring to a generation of youngsters who have grown upsurrounded by the new media and whose social relations are much more defined byFacebook than by neighbourhood, school or family?

Scholars draw more and more attention on the benefits of using blogs as virtual learning environments.

By applying a qualitative-constructivist analysis of narrative data,we evidenced 5 popularity assessment criteria: (1) originality; (2) usefulness; (3)topicality; (4) subjectivity; (5) and coherence. Building on the identified criteria, we formulated recommendations for making blogs more efficient as virtual learning environments.

Aspects on the Harmonization of Copyright and Related Rights in the Information Society in the European Union Legislation

Author(s): Cristina Mihaela Salcă Rotaru / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The influence of technological development has led to the multiplication and diversification of the creativity, production and exploitation vectors of copyright and related rights legislation, which must be adapted with economic realities and new forms of exploitation. Legislation in this area is comprehensive, addressing different aspects of copyright and related rights protection, across different regulatory levels: international, European and national. Legislative harmonization of copyright and related rights must be based on a high level of protection, should take into account all regulatory levels, for maintaining and developing creativity in the interests of authors, producers, consumers, and culture. However, legislative differences as well as legal uncertainty have become increasingly prominent with the evolution of the information society, which has already led to the intensification of the cross-border exploitation of intellectual property. This paper aims to: - examine the state of play of current legislation at EU level in the light of the interest of harmonious administration of justice, the elimination of protection differences and possible restrictions on the free movement of services and products incorporating or based on intellectual property, - to highlight, where appropriate, situations of legislative inconsistency. The research will take into account the binding EU legislation, the cases brought before the Court of Justice of the European Union and the new recommendations in the field.

Author(s): Ana-Maria Bolborici / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This article is based on a case study: the analysis of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the regional and international context by emphasizing the role and importance of information sources in writing a doctoral thesis in the field of International Relations. As far as concerns the implication of Romanian authors / researchers in the debate on the implication of the European Union in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, I have come to the conclusion that, although the main theme is a rather intense addressed issue, I have not managed to identify Romanian authors who have addressed the issue from the perspective of European diplomacy.

The Role of Fairy Tales in the Self-Realization Process

Author(s): Daniela Sorea / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The core of Carl Gustav Jung’ theory is the teleological orientation of unconscious processes towards individuation. Archetypes provide psychological information regarding the way in which the individuation process unfolds. The fairy tale reflects the universal, elemental and fundamental structures of the psyche in a language accessible above cultural and ethnical differences. Each fairy tale is associated with a specific type of archetypal behaviour. The fairy tale acts as an initiatory text whose force comes from the emotional load of the hero archetype. It is the most simple and efficient means of transmitting information on the individuating process.

The Book and the Separate Room

Author(s): Carmen Adriana Gheorghe / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Books seduce, as words distract the reader from reality, absorbing them in the imaginary of its pages and transforming them. Books offer pleasure immersed in intelligence, creativity, open-mindedness and, often times, in happiness. The experience of the book can be attained through two perspectives: that of the creator, who escapes, in a separate room, from his/her social, professional, or familial issues; and the perspective of the reader in libraries, in more complex and isolated, “separate rooms.”1 As each reader has a “Shakespeare’s sister” with her own identity (such as the sister with whose assistance Virginia Woolf pleaded that it is possible to sustain one’s own vision on life), reading is bound to become “the art of lecture.” Furthermore, the book has an interior life flow and forms a clear perspective on life, which can be poetic or even aesthetic. Apparently, the book, the word, and the library are unable to maintain a determined place anymore. But the future is born from the present in which the number of printed books raises constantly and the number of readers stays the same.

Biomechanics in Publication

Author(s): Ileana Constanta Rosca / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The progress in biomechanics research is a basic package in the context of the dynamic development of the medicine and health dedicated sciences. As a relatively-new discipline, biomechanics started to be published in books not very long ago. Obviously, in parallel, a large volume of articles were published in different journals that are not grouped in books or monographs. The problem is: which is the best way to spread the research results in the specific domain – in journals or in books? How long is the delay to group the researches in a structured publication? In the moment of book apparition they are still new?

Representative Publications for Medical Engineering

Author(s): Corneliu Druga / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

From the perspective of publications in the field of medical engineering, there is a great diversity which requires filtering in order to identify representative journals and papers. There are search engines which do not always provide the necessary filtering. In this direction, for example, Elsevier has a search engine in its own journals, which provides keyword filtering such as the title of the paper and the abstract. Following this search, one can obtain information on the representative journals by identifying some useful scientometrics data to disseminate one’s own research.

The Journeys of Books

Author(s): Robert Coravu / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The purpose of this essay is to underline the connection between books and travelling, on concrete and metaphorical levels. Travelling is not just the distance between the starting point and the destination. The journey involves a change in the state of the traveller on an emotional, cognitive, and spiritual level. From this perspective, the book is always the fulfilled promise of a journey. It is at the same time the territory and the vehicle of an inner, exploratory travel, and a cultural object that, in order to fulfil its purpose, must walk the way to the reader, its destination. Last, but not least, the book travels over time as a form of recorded memory of mankind.
