Nowadays there are state of the art social networks which unite people,their hobbies and concerns on global level. Knowing the impact of these social networks on everyday lifestyle, the need of such social networks may be translatedin the research field. Considering the evolution of digital books and information,there is a need of fast dissemination in order for the information to be acknowledged and cited. For example, ResearchGate is a well-known social network, on global level, which offers the possibility to communicate, cite, and detect books and information regarding every aspect of research field.

The use of bibliotherapy in the educational process leads to the improvement of students’ skills to use the reading process in a more efficient way, to transfer knowledge while enjoying the process. This paper aims to identify the level of familiarity of first year university students with therapeutic techniques and also the benefit discovered in them by the new generations of students. We surveyed 111 students on their perception of bibliotherapy in the educational process. A social survey questionnaire was created and administered online. The findings provide useful information for librarians and top management in libraries in order to help bring potential bookmakers closer to the digital age.

This paper discusses the subject of politically related street names which were introduced in Poland by the communist regime, as well as the attitude towards them in contemporary democracy. After World War II urban toponomy was widely used in Poland as a mean of ideological persuasion, commemorating persons, events and values related to the communism. The goal of such actions was to demonstrate communist domination and to shape social attitudes of obedience and acceptance of the existing order. During and after the democratic transition of 1989, street names related to the communism were massively removed, although many of them remained in the public sphere, especially if they survived the climax of symbolical decommunization of 1990. In this paper the most important aspects of the renaming process are discussed: political actors involved and relations between them (including recent intention of the central government to dominate this process, formerly belonging to the exclusive competence of the local authorities), arguments for and against streets renaming, most common trends regarding introducing new names, eventually controversies which arise in the process, especially concerning patrons whose relation with the communist ideology may be questioned. Additionally, results of a quantitative analysis are presented in order to examine the difference among various regions of Poland regarding tolerance towards still existing communist toponomy, which brings interesting results concerning former German lands, so called “Recovered Territories”, which seem to have incorporated the communist heritage into their identity in a much bigger degree than other parts of the country.

Developing professional competencies to future engineers is essential for their integration into professional life. The process of developing professional compentencies is influenced by several internal and external factors. Internal factors are determined by the learning needs of student, their level of knowledges and so on. External factors are the requirements of society, employers, etc. Usually in designing and developing competencies, teachers are focused on external factors, and less attention they paid to internal factors.

The aproach towards higher education systems through various abilities as well as the necessity of training, or at least the initiation of some professional abilities of graduates, implies the revision of all aspects of the educational process. Studies at a reduced frequency in this sense represent a challenge because of the small amount of direct contact lessons, the necessity of achieving quality studies and difficulties in the organization of certain types of activities, necessary for a high quality educational process. The article analyzes the problems for realizing the current evaluation in the context of the training necessity and appreciation of the graduates’ professional skills in this type of education. Certain solutions are presented that allow the accomplishment of a current relevant evaluation through the use of digital courses.

O ascendenţă deosebită în ultimii 20 de ani, o constituie, globalizarea şi schimbările tehnologice – procesele ce stau la baza unei noi economii mondiale „pusă în mişcare de tehnologii, alimentată de informaţii şi condusă de cunoştinţe” [1]. Răspândirea acestei noi economii globale are implicaţii majore în structura şi scopurile instituţiilor educaţionale. Perioada de actualitate a informaţiei se micşorează continuu, iar gradul de acces la ea creşte exponenţial. Sistemul educaţional nu mai poate fi axat doar, pe transmiterea unui set rigid de cunoştinţe de la profesor spre elev într-o perioadă fixă de timp. Materialul de faţă propune o abordare a procesului instructiv-educativ în liceu, din perspectiva e-learningului, utilizând Tehnologiile Informaţionale şi Comunicaţionale, în particular a resurselor Web 2.0. A particular rise in the last 20 years is globalization and technological change - the processes underpinning a new global economy "driven by information-driven and knowledge-driven technologies. The spread of this new global economy has major implications for the structure and purposes of educational institutions. Because the current information period is continuously decreasing and the degree of access to it increases exponentially, the educational system can no longer be focused on transmitting a rigid set of knowledge from the teacher to the student within a fixed period of time. This material proposes an approach to the educational process in high school from the perspective of e-learning, using Information and Communication Technologies, in particular Web 2.0 resources.

Procesul instructiv contemporan în instituţiile de învăţamânt superior solicită cadrului didactic schimbarea strategiei de predare, transformarea lui într-un ghid sau trainer al studentului, iar sala de curs trebuie să fie transformată într-un mediu de lucru colaborativ în care studentul dezvoltă competenţele sale de explorare, învaţa să formuleze întrebări esenţiale, constructive, „bune”. Investigarea problemelor de analiză complexă permit înţelegerea profundă s,i autentică a conceptelor de analiză reală, iar succesul poate fi obţinut aplicând învăţarea bazată pe proiecte realizând o sinteză a rezultatelor din algebră, trigonometrie, analiză reală, geometrie şi topologie.Contemporary instructional process in higher education institutions requires the teacher to change his teaching strategy, transforming him into a student’s guide or trainer, and in the same time the classroom should be transformed into a collaborative work environment in which the student develops his exploration skills, learn to formulate essential, constructive, "good" questions. The investigation of complex analysis problems allows a deep and authentic understanding of real analysis concepts, and the success can be achieved by implementing project-based learning by synthesizing results from algebra, trigonometry, real analysis, geometry and topology.

The paper deals with interpolating functions based on uniform and non-uniform structures. Functions are either discreet or rather complicated. In the literature, the calculation formulas of the interpolation polynomial Newton, Gauss, Stirling, Bessel and Heverette in the equidistant nodes are specified. But these formulas are based on the application of a recurrent formula for calculating the value of the polynomial for any point investigated. Thus, many of the calculations are repeated. In order to optimize the work, the paper investigated the possibility of determining the coefficients of the Newton interpolation polynomials in normal form without performing repetitions. The paper examines the following aspects:• description of numerical methods of interpolation of functions;• the theoretical determination of the coefficients of the formulas in the definition of the interpolation polynomials for a uniform discrete network for the concrete number of nodes;• defining the interpolation polymorph formulas by one or two parameters based on the determined coefficients;• a programming the formulas defined in the interpolation of functions in discrete or continuous mode. For each variant used, examples of application are presented.
