The public-private partnership (PPP) is a particular form of collaboration between public and private authorities to solve problems of social-economic importance. The implementation of PPP practices in the education system is relatively new, considering the sensitive object of use. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the specific aspects of PPP application in the field of education. The objectives of the research were related to the determination of the elements and the mandatory conditions of the application of PPP practices in relation to the organization of the activity of educational institutions. The research was carried out by screening the available open information sources, followed by the synthesis of the available material to obtain a complex picture of the international experience of applying PPP in the education system. PPPs can take different forms of implementation and can be applied at all levels of the education system. PPP projects in the field of education have a number of benefits and drawbacks. The efficiency of the implementation of PPP projects is dependent on compliance with a complex of conditions. In the same way, international experience allows to avoid possible problems in this field. The results of the study of the international experience in the addressed field may be of interest for the purpose of perfecting the policies in the field of PPP in the Republic of Moldova.

In the 17th century, numerous wars were fought on the territory of Wallachia, Moldavia and Transylvania. Some were wars against foreign attacks; others were civil wars between different pretenders to the throne. Some conflicts were short-lived, while others dragged on for several years. This study presents the life of women during military confrontations. Women's destinies are traced at different stages of wars, from the beginning of hostilities to the establishment of peace. Representatives of different social categories mentioned in historical sources, without exception, came into the field of attention: from ruling strata ladies to commoners, from respectable wives, daughters and widows to women of easy virtue. The documents show that women and children who did not participate in hostilities were just as vulnerable as the men who fought. Women were abused, captured or killed by foreign soldiers. In internecine wars, the wives of opponents, being captured, became victims of revenge on their husbands or were used to blackmail them. Therefore, in the conditions of the outbreak of war, the first concern of men was to protect their families. The study shows that most of the women who left their towns to move to safe places belonged to the nobility. Common women mostly stayed at home and took care of their household. There were cases when the authorities forbade women to leave the besieged towns, as, for example, in Cluj in 1611 and 1704. Women had to be involved in the defense, and violation of the orders of the authorities was severely punished. Restoring peace brought other hardships for women. Many tried to free themselves from slavery. Others had to raise money to ransom captive husbands or sons. Many women became widows, forced to provide for their lives and the lives of their children, pay off debts left by their husbands, and fight for their rights, which were often vio- lated by family and society. Chronicles show that wars could not interfere with the normal course of life of civilians. Despite the need and un- certainty, people married and baptized children. Wars have brought much suffering to women from all walks of life. Although it was rooted in the mentality of the time that abuses against women were punished by the God, this did not stop many men from taking advantage of their vulnerability, especially in wartime. Women fell into slavery, died either by the sword, or from famine and disease that accompanied wars. Countless women in the 17th century became widows and had to fight for their own survival and the survival of their children in a hostile world torn apart by economic crises. The paper also examines the attitude of men of the 17th century towards the actions of women during military conflicts. Numerous documents and testaments reflect both negative opinions and manifestations of respect and gratitude of men in families and society to women for the trials they have endured.

This article aims to explore how multilingualism is explored in Bessarabian literature and the way in which these phenomena can create cultural and identity crisis in the collective imaginary of The Republic of Moldova. Thus, it can be observed that in the Soviet period, but also after the fall of the empire, speakers of “Moldavian” language, afterwards named Romanian, are treated as inferior to Russian speakers, Moldavians becoming a periphery. Approaching multilingualism the way it is presented in Multilingual Literature as World Literature edited by Jane Hiddleston and Wen-chin Ouyang, a second objective of this paper is to investigate the identity crisis of the teenagers of Perestroika and the fall of the URSS, but also of the young adults that were brought up in the unsteady world that followed after these events. In doing so, the way in which the Bessarabian people were peripheral. According to the fact that this type of literature is insufficiently discussed, there will be analyzed three such novels, in order to offer a wider image of Chisinau between the 80’s and the 2000 and its transition: Grădina de sticlă (The Glass Garden) by Tatiana Țîbuleac, Sălbaticii copii dingo (The Savage Dingo Kids) by Vasile Ernu and Perestroika boys by Dinu Guțu. The other aspect that will be explored is the image of Romania and its literature in the Soviet Bessarabia, two neighbour countries that did not have an intercultural dialogue until 1991.

The present paper aims to examine the „positive" conditions of the procedure of the right to damage repair in case of miscarriage of justice, i.e. those provided only in paragraph (1) of Article 538 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The paper begins with the delimitation of the area of analysis, after which it examines the conceptual reason of the analyzed procedure. Then, the conditions and subconditions found in paragraph (1) of Article 538 of the Criminal Procedure Code are treated by turns. Finally, after analyzing the concept of miscarriage of justice, we take a look at countries with similar legislation: the Republic of Moldova and Switzerland. At the same time, through this material, I am trying to demonstrate, by identifying the problems of interpretation of this paragraph, the fact that the action for damage repair provided in Chapter VI of the Criminal Procedure Code must comply, at least in the light of paragraph (1) of Article 538 far too restrictive conditions. The conditions which this paragraph involves turn the procedure of repair of the material damage or of the moral damage in case of miscarriage of justice into a non-feasible procedure with conditions which presuppose an insignificant stake, as compared to the reparation of the damage in case of the principal's liability for the deed of his agent, a liability much easier to prove by the damaged person.

The elaboration of the notarial acts takes place in compliance with some requirements strictly provided in the normative acts. These requirements for the preparation of notarial acts are called rules for drawing up and affect to all notarial acts and actions. The topic covered in this paper is of interest to theorists and law practitioners from the Republic of Moldova and from Romania. In the Republic of Moldova there is a long process of formation and consolidation of notarial legislation. In the absence of a well-elaborated normative framework, the notaries public from the Republic of Moldova apply, here and there, the rules for drawing up the notarial acts inherited ever since the period of the Soviet Union. Another situation exists in Romania, whereas the legislator, by the Law No 36/1995, has established a stable normative framework for regulating notarial law relations. The main objective pursued by the author in the elaboration of the paper consists in the comparative analysis of the common rules for the drawing up the notarial acts through the Romanian and Moldavian legislation. The results of the research are manifested by formulating some conclusions and recommendations for amending the legislation. The theoretical implications of the study are relevant due to the diversity of the doctrinal sources used by the author. An increased attention was paid to Moldavian and Romanian researchers. In addition, the doctrine of the notarial law in the Russian Federation has been considered, which, over many decades, has become traditional in the Republic of Moldova. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper proposes a brief analysis of the literature related to complex plowing implements (ploughs), which had a considerable impact on agriculture, economy and, in general, on ancient human societies. The attempts to classify and analyze these types of agricultural tools are the research results of specialists from related scientific fields (archaeology, history, art history, ethnography, linguistics, geography, etc.). Taking all these contributions regarding the systematization of all informative material into account, the research presents a series of risks, which reside precisely in the subjective nature of such a scientific approach and, mainly, in the lack of documentary and material sources. For these reasons, the functional and formal classification is established as the most flexible, the criteria used in the present study being based mainly on written sources, the archaeological finds of some iron components of plowing implements (ploughshares and coulters), the iconographic representations in religious and secular art, as well as the study of ethnographic material. Obviously, our systematization was also based on the effective and useful classification systems created for the entire European space by scholars such as P. Leser, L. Niederle, B. Brentjes, A. G. Haudricourt and M. J.-B. Delamarre, A. Steensberg A. V. Černetsov, Z. Podwińska, N. A. Demčenko, Ch. Vakarelski, I. Balassa, Ju. A. Krasnov, G. A. Guliev, M. Stará, J. Henning or J. Myrdal.

The paper addresses a current and important topic whose study is absolutely necessary for society and non-wood forest products sector (NWFP). The high scientific and practical importance of the issue, especially in rural areas, was the main motivation of the study. Choosing this topic was also justified by the interest for NWFP at national and international level. The keystone hypothesis of the research it is whether non-timber forest products are a food source that ensures health, a family income and what the depends efficiency of harvesters. The goal of the study was to assess the performance of collecting NWFP by the non-parametric method of data envelopment analysis (DEA). The primary data needed for the application of the non-parametric methodology were collected from 510 persons located in 164 localities pending to 16 districts of the Republic of Moldova. The survey included 172 variables that described the basic activities in the NWFP collection process. The statistical processing of the primary database was made using the application SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences), by the principal component analysis, based on some nominal and numerical variables. The results show the most efficient NWFP collectors work on degraded lands, managed by the municipalities, for sale, harvesting them by shaking or cutting, processing them into dry form, where there is a collection point where there is a collection point. The standard profile of efficient collectors also assumes that they go picking with acquaintances, travels by car up to 10 km and consider that this activity contributes a lot to the family's income.

As we know, there are currently two opposing trends in the choice of educational standards: on the one hand, the search for individualization and, on the other hand, the standardization of the educational service in the sense of standardization of the most common model. The purpose of this paper is to present some linguistic and pedagogical reflections on the cross-cutting approaches that can be adopted, on the one hand, for the development and consolidation of students' language skills in using the French language and, on the other hand, for the teaching of non-linguistic disciplines in French within international programs in the context of globalization. These reflections emerge from our knowledge of the field, both theoretical and practical, in the implementation of teaching focused on general French, French for specific purposes and, lately, French for academic purposes within the Filière Francophone of the Academy of Economic Studies of Moldova. The work sheds light on the new role of the language teacher who has to overcome in his approach a certain number of linguistic and sociolinguistic difficulties faced by learners, and help them succeed in the transition to the standard of teaching à la française, thus ensuring that they take ownership of this new standard. This implies regular links between the teachers of French language and the teachers of specialized subjects in order to set up a common system to help students understand the university courses by creating pairs of language teachers and specialized teachers.

The history of Jews in Moldavia during the 18th century and the first two decades of the 19th one is a major researching subject in writing the general history of the country, in the absence of which we couldn't understand the Romanian society modernizing. Even if many studies were written and many tomes of papers were published, aspects less analyzed and unpublished documents still exist. The present article brings some completitions regarding both the relation between the Jewish community (Jewish Guild) Iaşi and statal authority, as reflected in the annual tax the community had to pay and the examption they were given, and to relation between native Jews and the Sudit Jews (Austrian or Russian foreign subjects), as revealed by the dispute concernig tax on kosher meat.

The circulation of old books on the territory of the Romanian Principalities is a quite often researched field of the history of old Romanian printed books. Unlike Transylvania, where the research on the circulation of old books was more emphasized, Moldova's research is quite limited and does not have great generalization power. Among the books kept at the Huşi Diocesan Museum, there are some printed in the Sibiu printing house of the Bart family. Among the 17 specimens researched „de visu“, in this paper we will give a brief presentation of a part of them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Issue of the „Russian Canonical Territory" and the Orthodoxy in Moldova. An Example of Applied Geopolitics. After the fall of the communist regime, the church life of the majority of orthodox countries from Eastern Europe continued to be dominated by a series of a more or less known crises and internal conflicts. An evocative example is offered by the statute of the Orthodoxy in Moldova, a country that formally gained its independence in 1991, but which dangerously oscillates between Bucharest and Moscow from an ecclesiastical viewpoint. For this context, the assertion of the Russian Patriarch according to which Moldova is a part of the "Holly Russia" is rather essential. One of the most important and most referred to arguments of the Russian Patriarchy in its relations with the Romanian Patriarchy, whenever the issue of the Moldova Orthodox Church is discussed, is related to the "canonical territory of the Russian Patriarchy". For this specific reason, the paper will highlight the historical and the canonical contexts of the advent of this controversial "modus operandi". This paper will emphasize the way the argument of "canonical territory" is used in the inter-orthodox conflict in Republic of Moldova and the possible solutions for this controversy.

Community police is not only a philosophical approach, but also a significant organisational strategy, which strengthens the relationship between the police and the community and aims to solve problems related to crime and public security as a team. This model encourages active collaboration between the policemen and community inhabitants in order to identify, prevent and solve the specific problems of the locality, with the ultimate goal of improving the quality of life for all local residents. The implementation of the community police concept in the Republic of Moldova would have an essential role in preventing crime and victimization in the rural environment. In the context of preventing victimization in the rural environment, the community police would have the responsibility to collaborate with community members in identifying, analyzing, addressing and removing the risk factors that can determine crime and, implicitly, victimization. The authors propose to elucidate the concept of community police in the light of the argued opinions of various researchers in the field in order to justify and recognize the effectiveness of this mechanism that could essentially contribute to the reduction of crime and victimization in rural areas of the Republic of Moldova. Thus, through this research, it was possible to generalize the most relevant theoretical and practical implications from around the world with reference to the different modes of activity of the community police. The results obtained would help to develop this concept in the activity practices of the national police, which would determine a predominantly pro-active approach in anticipating and solving public security problems.

Always considered an exceptional case, D. Cantemir was often used as an “agent of influence” who, through the prestige of his work, could legitimize different ideological agendas or political programs. Almost never did Dmitri Cantemir receive a passive reception, a critical distance. This study examines how his works were used for various ideological interests. The Chronicle on the antiquity of the Romano-Moldo-Vlachs fuelled the political agenda of intellectuals in Transylvania because of Cantemir's thesis that the Romanians were descendants of the Romans, not of the Dacians; Descriptio Moldaviae was used, according to interest, to legitimise unionist ideas in Moldova, but also separatist ones. In 1935, the repatriation of his remains was a pretext for resuming diplomatic relations with the USSR, but also a nationalist spectacle. In the 1980s, when the official policy of the communist regime was nationalism, Cantemir became a hero of protochronism, an ideological trend that supported the pioneering of Romanians in almost all fields of knowledge. Cantemir was a pre-Enlightenment scholar, a century and a half before Romanticism. His thought is alien to the Herderian nationalism from which he has often been analysed. Finally, the study proposes a transnational approach to the personality of D. Cantemir. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The power change in Ukraine and the violent crackdown on the post electoral protestors in Belarus jeopardize the Eastern Partnership. The EUs efforts to democratize and stabilize its eastern border could become more and more difficult if Brussels does not find quickly a solution to keep the six partners interested in its projects. This paper examines the latest challenges of the Eastern Partnership and the reasons why the Republic of Moldova could be the successful story the Eastern Partnership is seeking.

The inter-confessional relations in the Republic of Moldova (RM) are to a large extent different from those existing in other mainly Orthodox countries. This situation is determined by the Moldovan Orthodox Church's (MOC) negative perception and interpretation of the ecumenical dialogue. In terms of external affairs, the contacts of the MOC with other Western Churches are limited to scarce formal collaborations. The rationale behind the maintenance of the external inter-confessional relations at this level of estrangement resides in the defensive reaction belonging to the Moldovan representatives of the Orthodox churches and monasteries, and to some non for profit organizations that advocate for the total alienation of the MOC from other Western Churches. In terms of internal affairs, the inter-confessional relations can be depicted as rather tense. In this context, one cannot refer to a real collaboration. Following the paths of the Russian Orthodox Church, the MOC plays a significant role in the state as well; this fact allows it to keep the inter-confessional relations outside the interests that are given priority. Consequently, in this paper we will attempt to address the real situation of the inter-confessional relations in the RM and the grounds that define the (in)existence of such rapports.

Background. The starting point is the idea of providing professionally and physically well trained medical staff, capable of providing high quality health care, effective services at high professional standards, while respecting the principles of medical ethics and deontology. Aims. The aim of this paper was to present methodical-theoretical aspects of the physical education curriculum in academic medical education in the Republic of Moldova today. Methods. This paper analyzed 5 curricula used over the past 20 years in the universities of Moldova. The investigation was performed on a representative sample of students (years I-IV) and residents (3rd year) of the "Nicolae Testemitanu" SMPhU, as well as family doctors of primary health care. The subjects were divided into 2 groups: group I (experimental group), including 50 students (years I-IV) and residents who attended physical education classes, and group II (control group), including 50 students (years I-IV) and residents who did not attend physical education classes. Both groups were submitted to an interview and a proxy interview, and for data collection, the Questionnaire for students and the Questionnaire for family doctors were used. Results. Only 53.3% of the respondents feel that the academic discipline of physical education plays an important role in professional training, of which 66.6% recognize its direct contribution. According to family doctors, the priority task of physical education in higher medical-pharmaceutical education is the sanogenic one (80.0%). The current curriculum is assessed as inadequate by 46.7%, as formal by 20.0%, and as perfect by 33.3% of the respondents. At the same time, the reality of the practice of the content of the curriculum fully coincides with the respondents' opinion in 33.3% of the cases. The majority of the respondents focus on the prevalence of theoretical lessons (26.7%) and methods (33.3%), versus practical activities (40.0%). The essence and the content of the professional-applicative physical training of the medical specialist is acknowledged by 80% of the respondents, of which 91.7% believe that it contributes to overall physical training. It should be noted that 80% of the respondents are of the opinion that gymnastics is the pedagogical system of physical culture with a major potential educational influence on social -professional skills. The majority of the respondents (46.7%) believe that the University treats the discipline of physical education at an equal level with other disciplines, while 33.3% think that it receives increased attention. Conclusions. The situation created requires the finding of solutions for the implementation of programs, which should meet at least one basic ethical principle. This principle would require physical education activities under the guidance of a teacher, depending on the initial level of health and fitness of the individual identified following the evaluation of specific indicators, taking into account the students' options.

This year marks the 200th anniversary of the passing away of one of the most important representatives of the last generation of Byzantine scholars, Dionisie Fotino (1777-1821). In the permanent exhibition of the Special Collections Department of the Argeș County Library there are two works belonging to Dionisie Fotino. The first is a 203-year-old code of laws; printed on watermark paper, in Romanian with Cyrillic characters, the book is bound in green leather, printed with double border and gilded floral motifs. The special attraction brought to attention is the illustration on the back of the title page that shows the coat of arms of Wallachia (9 x 9 cm), surrounded by the coats of arms of the counties, but also the accompanying note. The second work "The general history of Dacia and Transylvania, Wallachia and Moldova", in three volumes, presents, in a concentrated way, the history of these lands from the founding of Dacia to the beginning of the 19th century. The value of this work lies in the illustration on the cover page, which shows the Russian bicephalous eagle holding the two coats of arms: the coat of arms of Wallachia and the coat of arms of Moldova, all protected by divine power, as well as the ex-libris - stamp of the Phanariot prince Ioan Constantin Caradja, written in black ink.

The purchase of goods or the contracting of works or services by one or more public authorities from selected economic operators is referred to as public procurement. They are vitally important for ensuring the normal functioning of public mechanisms, but they are also of great importance for the country's economy. In order to prepare this work, the views of different experts from several countries, as well as the official legal and statistical databases, were researched. In international financial practice, methodologies for determining the sustainability of public finances have been developed, which are applicable for determining the sustainability of public procurement. In essence, it is the methodology intended to determine the capacity of the public administration in the country to honor the financial commitments assumed by contracting the purchases of goods, work, and services. The application of the given methodology allowed the development of certain conclusions regarding the sustainability of public procurement in the Republic of Moldova. In the short term, this can be seen as normal. But in the conditions of the current economic and financial crisis, the long-term prospects remain uncertain. Also, as a threat to the sustainability of public procurement in the Republic of Moldova, the high level of corruption remains, which requires the continuation of activities to maintain the transparency of public procurement and those related to the prevention of corruption.

This paper contains a description of the Botoşani toponymic field: a set of names formed from the Botoşani toponym by structural processes called by Dragoş Moldovanu polarization and differentiation. Attested since the beginning of the fifteenth century and with access to major trade routes crossing the Moldova, Botoşani city had social and economic importance, especially in XIX century. Around its name a quite important toponymic field has been developed, over time, characterized by the diversity of place-names and a variety of forms attested by documents. The diachronic depiction of the toponymic fields is an essential step in the lexicographical approach of place names because it reflects the dynamic reality discovered in the field.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the way in which the Moldovan customs and traditions are presented in Dimitrie Cantemir's work. His work offers an image of the burial traditions, the wedding traditions, but also information about the Romanian mythology or how the rulers were elected or removed. It is one of the elements granting originality to the writer, as he is a scholar who captures a monographic image of Moldova. It is also important to analyze the chapter in which the Moldovans are described, specifying the features and the flaws of his fellow men, in this way proving that he is a keen observer of the mentality, not only of the customs and traditions they respect.

After the suppression of the Transylvanian uprising in 1467, King Matthias confiscated the estates of several noble families in Transylvania and soon afterwards distributed them among his most favoured followers. One of the big winners of this action was the Transylvanian voivode Nicholas Csupor, who had just returned from the Moldavian campaign (end of 1467). The study publishes the group of charters related to these royal donations. This bunch of documents is notable for the fact that some of the donation charters were spoiled, or in some cases, the number of donated estates was extended immediately after the first charter was issued, but, exceptionally, all the successive charters have been preserved.

Moldova is the second smallest and the most densely populated of the NIS. It began the arduous task of building a democratic nation and market-based economy as it faced ethnic conflicts and the social hardships accompanying economic and political transformation. The country has pushed ahead with economic policy reform as a model of change among NIS countries. Moldova is also considered one of the top NIS performers in democratic development. Internal political tensions over the pace of reforms have delayed progress in land privatization and fiscal improvement. Underlying all of these issues is the festering problem of Transdniester where ethnic Russians, bolstered by the presence of Russian troops, thus denying Moldova control over significant industrial assets.
