SOUND THERAPY AND ITS INFLUENCE UPON THE HUMAN BODY

Author(s): Stela Guţanu / Language(s): Issue: 1/2015

Various musicological studies highlight the construction of the musical elements and their influence upon people. Today it is unanimously accepted the idea that sound is a part of life and it is an unseen, universal, vibrational force, which can produce essential changes in the human life, spirit and mind. The influence that sounds exerts upon the human body causes significant changes in the sense of healing the human body, re-establishing its balance of vital energies and good health. Sound therapy (or sound healing) is a therapy through sound, being one of the branches of vibrational medicine.

COMMON CHRISTMAS SONGS OF HUNGARIANS AND ROMANIANS IN THE TRANSYLVANIAN PLAIN

Author(s): Zoltán Gergely / Language(s): Issue: 1/2015

Until the middle of the 20th century carolling was one of the most popular folk traditions in Hungarian speaking areas. In several Transylvanian and Moldavian communities this continued until the end of the 20th century. On the Transylvanian Plain this tradition still lives on today. Due to the interethnic relationship between the two communities, we can discover many Romanian melodies and texts in the repertoire of the Hungarians on the Transylvanian Plain. The purpose of the study is the presentation and analysis of these.

L’ENCADREMENT PHILOSOPHIQUE ET CULTUREL DE L’ACTE CRÉATEUR DANS LA LITTÉRATURE ET LA MUSIQUE

Author(s): Mirona Bence-Muk / Language(s): Issue: 1/2015

The present article opens the philosophical and aesthetical horizon that anticipates the musical horizon and marks at the same time, at the theoretical level, the passage from aesthetics to poetics, respectively to the semantic and metaphorical categories, as initially proposed by L. Blaga and re-evaluated by E. Coşeriu. Blaga’s theory of metaphor is grounded, of course, on his philosophical conception about “the horizon” of human existence and consciousness, but also on the theses concerning a certain “spatial horizon of unconscious”, especially when referring to that kind of act of creation that is oriented toward mystery and for revelation. To this level of unconscious the philosopher also relates a new metaphorical category, which can be found at the phonological and metrical level within the word, respectively within poetry, and which he calls “acoustic metaphor”. The acoustic of the word constitutes, in fact, the basic feature that relates text to music and it is the first level which is intuitively exploited by the art-making subject. In order to exemplify the way of functioning of the “acoustic metaphorism” within the complex and deep process of sense articulation at textual level, we sketch below a complementary account to the theoretical framework presented here and refer to the exploitation of the same “expressive” (or metaphorical) dimension by the great linguist Sextil Puşcariu. More precisely, we correlate the linguist’s analysis on Mihai Eminescu’s poem Rugăciune with the analysis of one of the most recent Romanian choral composition, which uses the verses of the same poetic text.

COORDINATES AND STAGES OF THE INDIVIDUAL STUDY OF A CHORAL SCORE BY THE CONDUCTOR

Author(s): Luminiţa Guţanu / Language(s): Issue: 1/2015

The conductor's study of a choral score requires a great deal of expertise. Prior to studying the actual score, each conductor will have to undertake several compulsory phases, as follows: the first phase is the analysis of the musical work, which comprises three important stages: Stage I – The Syntactical – Morphological Analysis of the work (Stg I -SMA); Stage II – The Vocal - Choral Analysis of the work (Stg II – VCA) and Stage III – the mental approach on the score (MA), which, in its turn, comprises the technical mental approach (TMA) and the interpretative mental approach (IMA). This latter stage is the practical one, which entails the actual study of the musical score. It requires a few vital steps, particularly the first one – the study of the score by the inner pulsation, involving intent. This study develops, reveals and explains the necessity and importance of all the other stages.

Far from being exhaustive, the comment wants to offer solutions to the challenges posed by the complexity and the continuous need to adapt to the liabilities to the requirements of a company found in a continuous, sometimes chaotic, development.

Reflections on the Maintenance Obligations from the Perspective of the European Law Enforcement

Author(s): Gabriela Lupşan / Language(s): Issue: 2/2014

As stated, maintaining and developing an area of freedom, security and justice by the European Union, within which it is ensured the free movement of persons, requires the adoption of, among others, the measures relating to judicial cooperation in civil matters which have cross-border implications. These measures are designed to promote the compatibility of the rules applicable in the Member States concerning the conflict of laws and of jurisdiction. Based on the mobility of persons within the European Union, from the desire to protect both debtors of the maintenance, most often children, and the interest to favor a proper administration of justice within the European Union, there were adopted a number of community instruments relating to maintenance, which has provisions on conflicts of jurisdiction, conflict of laws, recognition and enforceability, enforcement of judgments, judicial assistance and cooperation between central authorities. In the first part of the study we analyzed the rules of jurisdiction according to which it is established the jurisdiction of the court hearing a claim for maintenance, when maintenance obligations arise from a family relationship, parentage, marriage or affinity. In the second part of the study, we limited the analysis to the choice of law applicable on in the case of the obligation between parents and their children.

“The Good Conduct Guarantee” and other Measures Comprised in GEO no. 51/2014 Amending and Supplementing GEO no. 34/2006

Author(s): Angelica Roşu / Language(s): Issue: 2/2014

In this study we aimed to analyze the consequences of the introduction by Ordinance No. 51/2014 for amending and supplementing GEO No. 34/2006 concerning the procurement of a new procedural institution, namely the guarantee of good conduct guarantee during the judicialadministrative proceedings and judicial proceedings. In our opinion, however, the new measures introduced by the Act enunciated are able to generate, in equal measure, violating constitutional provisions of EU law, as well as the conventional duty rates (i.e. the norms enshrining the free administrative courts, the right of access to an impartial court, the right to effective remedy discrimination). In addition, we cannot equalize a solution to reject the appeal / complaint and the conclusion that the contractor / economic operator involved in the procedure is due an amount to the authority for its bad faith, the bad faith is not retrievable only in the solution of appeal / lawsuit, as long as through a different interpretation of the same text of the law, the courts solutions give rise to an uneven practice, becoming necessary to demonstrate the proof of bad faith or even serious misconduct in the exercise of procedural rights.

Mental Element of Bribery under Nigerian and Us (Federal) Anti-Bribery Laws: an Overview

Author(s): Akeem Olajide Bello / Language(s): Issue: 2/2014

Academic reviews have highlighted the problem of lack of clarity with Nigerian antibribery laws. It is important for the criminal law to clearly state the mental element of bribery. This would communicate to citizens, lawyers and judges what is wrong with bribery. It would also provide a yardstick to distinguish between the socio-cultural practice of gift-giving and bribery. This article analyses the mental element of bribery in Nigeria and federal anti-bribery laws in United States of America. The analysis is undertaken with a view to drawing useful insight to propose reform of Nigerian anti-bribery laws. The article finds that American laws better clarifies the wrongful mental conduct that transforms gift-giving into bribery. Unlike Nigerian statutes that uses the undefined word “corruptly” to capture the mental element of bribery, American statutes while using the word “corruptly” further captures the mental element of bribery in terms of intention to use a bribe to influence official action. The American approach if adopted by the legislature to reform Nigerian anti-bribery laws would provide better guidance to the courts, lawyers and laymen in understanding why the law criminalises bribery. It would also provide a platform to distinguish between gift-giving and bribery.

The Legal Regime of Expropriation in Romania

Author(s): Vasilica Negruţ / Language(s): Issue: 2/2014

The exercise of ownership of (private) property is not absolute, it may be subject to some restrictions, limitations. These limitations may be determined by the public interest and they may even lead to the loss of property through expropriation for public utility. The legal institution is being analyzed both by experts in civil law and by the administrative experts, and the expropriation for public utility, a measure having the exception feature granted by the Constitution and the Civil Code, is widely debated in the recent years, given the need to achieve some works that serve to the public utility. In this study we propose, based on the law, doctrine and jurisprudence, to deepen the legal regime of expropriation for the public utility. We specify that we consider only the legislative act that establishes the general legal framework of expropriation, which is Law no. 33 of 1994.

Considerations on Law no. 78/2014 regarding the Regulation of the Volunteering Activity in Romania

Author(s): Tache Bocănială / Language(s): Issue: 2/2014

In this paper we aim at highlighting the progress in the regulation of volunteering activity in Romania through the recent adoption by the Parliament of the Law no. 78/2014 on the regulation of volunteering in Romania. The new legislative act, which replaced Volunteering Law no. 195 / 2001 (republished) tries and we believe that it actually succeeds in providing consistent and harmonized solutions at European level to problems of organizations working with volunteers and thus creating a modern legal framework, appropriately adapted to the national and European context in the field of volunteering.
