In his book, Robert Reisz approaches the challenging topic of the reproduction of the humboldtian and napoleonian models of higher education systems. It includes a thorough history of how these models appeared and a particularly interesting discussion about their diff usion across the world. Taking a neoinstitutional perspective, the author aims to describe the process of imitation (as a form of innovation) that is happening during the institutionalization of the models of universities in various historical, cultural and social settings. Apart from a specialists' public - experts and academics - the book is addressing to a wide public, including any social actor involved or interested, either directly or indirectly, in the cultural and institutional settings of the formal education system.

In the present paper, we analysed, through the provisions of the new Criminal Code, one of the offences included in the title intended to protect the activity of judiciary, respectively, the offence of misleading the judicial bodies. The performed scrutiny includes pre-existing elements, the constitutive elements of the offence, the cause of impunity, relevant legislative precedents and the transitional situation, which refers to the application of the more favourable criminal law. At the same time, we envisaged a comparative assessment between the current legislative framework and the previous Criminal Code, considering that it could prove useful in determining and applying the more favourable criminal law. The novelty with which this work comes concerns both the study, as well as the critical views and the lege ferenda proposals, which aim at highlighting the option of the current legislator to set aside the cause of impunity in favour of a mitigating circumstance. We believe that the present paper may be useful for academics, as well as practitioners in the field of Criminal Law. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the present paper, I have analysed the crime of omission to notify the authorities according to the law in force. Also, to highlight the evolution of the Romanian criminal law system, I have analysed the provisions regarding the aforementioned offence from three different perspectives - three different Criminal Codes (the Carol II Criminal Code, the 1969 Criminal Code and the Criminal Code in force). In order to provide support for practitioners, I have highlighted the elements that stand both as similarities and as differences with regard to the legal content of the offence, a scrutiny that is essential in order to identify and apply the more favourable criminal law in transitory situations. This study may be useful for bachelor and master students in Law Schools within the country, as well as for practitioners in the area of criminal law. The novelties consist in the examination carried out, as well as in the opinions expressed regarding the doctrinal interpretation of the elements of the objective side of the offense.

In the present paper, I analysed the offense of insurance fraud as regulated by the new Criminal Code. For the purposes of this analysis, I considered the fundamental elements of the criminal offense, the previous laws, the procedural aspects specific to this offense, as well as some similarities and differences between the current regulation and the provisions of Article 215 of the Criminal Code of 1969. Moreover, in order to offer a vision as close as possible to the way the criminal provisions are applied, I constantly referenced recent judgements of the Romanian courts of justice. The novelty brought by the present paper is the analysis of new legal provisions with direct reference to recent case-law. The paper is useful to law students throughout the country, viewed through the analysis of this offense, as well as to practitioners in this field of law. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Exceptional circumstances are a consequence of limit situations that states, continents, planet always faced. At present, being understood that there are no rules for risk assessment, as there aren't for choosing a good solution and that risk assessment is a matter of intelligence, but also of knowledge and experience, the structures responsible for crisis management must take steps to resolve possible conflict of major disturbance to public order.

This article analyzes and describes the globalization processes in relation with the ethnocultural identity issues. In the beginning we make a discussion of the concept of globalization in the light of the modernist and postmodernist theories and the transformations (into the ethnic, political, economic, financial, communications dimensions) and effects (homogenization, hybridization, indigenization) it brings. We continue with the results of an analysis of the social perceptions (interview data) of the people from Sibiu, regarding the statute of the traditional Romanian ethnocultural elements (seen identity indicators) in the context of the global society. We identified that a perception of a homogenized life style prevails, an increased number people talking about an erosion of the ethno cultural elements; the causes of this erosion are connected, directly or indirectly, to globalization (migration, urbanization, technological advancement, etc).

Our research aims to outline the women representation in Iasi academic space, in the first eight decades of activity at the University “Alexandru Ioan Cuza”. The analytical approach exploits a computerized database realized by researchers from Dictionaries & Encyclopedias Programme, Department of Interdisciplinary Research of the “Al. I. Cuza” University in 2011, available at http://dictionare.enciclopedii.uaic.ro/ catalogCD-UAIC/. The platform includes teaching and research staff of the University “Al. I. Cuza”, since 1860, year of establishment, until 1990 and is accomplished using three main sources: UAIC annuals, states of functions and the National Archives of Romania (Iasi subsidiary). The database allows viewing information according to three criteria: 1. the alphabetical names of the persons; 2. the alphabetical names of the faculties and 3. chronological. Our analyze aimed to reflect the proportion that women had in teaching and research staff of the University of Iasi, as well as areas/faculties which records more opening to hiring women.

New parents are typically concerned about the well-being of their children. As a result, parents seek to inform themselves about the best choices they can make in terms of diet - including but not limited to age and type of weaning -, skin care products, toys, parenting style, healthcare, education and other kinds of services addressed to children and families. This is true especially for parents with higher formal education and the habit of questioning and researching topics that interest them. As they look for information online, they build virtual communities or join established ones. This is a virtual ethnographic research of a virtual community of parents, mainly mothers, brought together by principles of natural parenting and healthy living. The research involved analyzing blogs, forums and discussions on Facebook groups, as well as the social network analysis of the network of Facebook pages belonging to the community. The main focus of the research is the impact conflict has on community social capital, as conflict has been fairly neglected in the study of virtual communities. I identified six types of conflict and analyzed their implications for the social capital of the community in terms of trust, types of relationships - bridging vs. bonding -, and social networks. The main finding is that a smaller, rather exclusive virtual community develops features very similar to closed small local communities when it comes to managing internal conflict.

The legal person, artificial creation of the law or real existence? Without pretending to answer this question, and taking into consideration the fact that the theories concerning the legal person do not make the object of this article, we intend make an analysis of the Romanian legislation regarding the institution of the legal person from its earliest times to our days. This article makes a short overview of the provisions concerning the institution of legal person underlining its particularities during each period of its evolution. Some of the theories assumed by Romanian scholars are also mentioned. We also dedicate some attention to the provisions regarding the legal person in the New Civil Code, underlining the character of novelty and the unification spirit behind this provisions.

In this paper the dispositions of the Romanian law and of the European instruments regulating the recognition and execution of orders freezing property or evidence are examined. The present paper continues the research of forms of judiciary assistance in criminal matters in the European Union, research materialised through studies published in the volumes of some international conferences and Romanian legal journals that are indexed in some international databases recognised in the legal domain. The paper can be useful to practitioners, the empowered judiciary bodies, as well as to lawyers or law students. The elements of novelty consist in the examination of the manner in which Romanian judicial bodies recognise and execute or solicit the execution of orders freezing property and evidence during a criminal trial, through the prism of the latest modification and additions in the Romanian and European legal systems.

Starting from the assumption that the social management of historical time is a powerful tool in the political definition of reality, this paper analyzes how the history of the Romanian people has been periodized through the course of time. The central argument states that the partitioning system used to periodize the past harbors a hidden agenda, or a particular ideological "implicature", that can be brought to light by analyzing the temporal watersheds selected as defining moments in the history of that community. The paper analyzes the social logic of periodization operating within the Romania national history textbooks, revealing how socio-political conditions determine the temporal structuring of the past. Moreover, it shows how social change, and especially the change of the socio-political regime, leads to a revertebration of the past's symbolic backbone. Dramatic social and political change results in reconfiguring the formal structure of the collective consciousness concerning the past, within which specific events of Romanian history acquire their meaning. In conclusion, the study shows that, although resorting to a system of periodization is indeed a cognitive prerequisite for understanding the past, the reality of the past does not come with an already-there articular structure, so that "carving the (past's) reality at its joints", as Plato put it, is not a possibility.

This paper analyses the European bill that regulates combating criminality in the domain of sexual abuse, sexual exploitation of children and child pornography, with an emphasis on the crimes that exist and an analysis of these in the current context. Some critical observations are also expressed about establishing the territorial competence of Member States under certain circumstances that arise from criminal activity. The novelty consists in the examination performed and the critical observations, given that the bill has only recently been adopted. The paper may be useful for the academic, judiciary and the legislative environments, taking into consideration the mandatory application of the bill by the competent judiciary bodies in Romania, which will cooperate with similar judiciary bodies of other Member States, and also taking into consideration the necessity of adjusting our internal legislation.

In the present work I examine the institution of international letters rogatory in criminal matters, based on considering it the main international judiciary assistance activity in criminal matters. The work briefly presents letters rogatory in Romanian law, as well as international letters rogatory in European Union legislation, transposed in internal legislation, with certain critical observations which impose the need for additions and modifications of certain dispositions in the special law, continuing other research done in the domain of international judiciary cooperation in criminal matters. The research presents an historical evolution of the institution in Romania and especially emphasises the conditions under which Romanian judiciary authorities grant or solicit the execution of international letters rogatory, with special consideration for judiciary assistance within the European Union. The work may be useful to theoreticians researching international judiciary assistance in criminal matters, in general, those researching international letters rogatory in particular, as well as practitioners. The essential contribution of the present work is represented by the examination of the historical evolution of the institution and the critical examination of the current dispositions. Under my opinion, these dispositions need certain additions and modifications, taking the evolution of criminality of all types into account, as well as the need for preventing and combating such criminality with as much efficiency as possible, both internally and in the European Union.

In the given study, the author analyses the provisions of the Agreement between the European Union member states and Japan on mutual legal assistance in criminal matters. Critical remarks are made, in order to modify, adjust and amend some of the aforementioned provisions. The paper is a follow up of the author's research activities in the field of judicial cooperation in criminal matters in and outside the European Union. The major research methods used in order to fulfill the objectives of this study were the close examination of the provisions of the agreement, followed by a solid critique of the some of these provisions, which were regarded by the author as incomplete or somehow problematic in practice. The conclusions of the critique regarding the current provisions are used both as an argument in order to amend the agreement and to adopt a new act on the institution of recognition and enforcement of judgments and other judicial decisions between each Member State and Japan In the author's view, the paper was intended to be useful to scholars and students of faculties of law and, especially, judicial bodies with concrete tasks in this field.

This paper highligthens the current trends of the Romanian banking system, both marketing and businesswise. In addition to a short theoretical review of the tools at hand, such as CLV, CRM, ERM, brand loyalty, client satisfaction, client retention and relationship marketing, specific features of the banking system underline the current lack of applicable client oriented strategies. Relationship marketing, a tool of the new marketing era, seems no longer a strategic approach to have in view, but a necessary tool to be implemented as soon as possible. And the reason-why becomes more obvious than ever: people rely on personal interaction, long term relations built on trust and mutual benefits, communication and transparency, which are significant ingredients that make a difference in terms of which bank should I choose to work with. In other words, the banking market as we know it, changes from a rigid segment to one that heavily requires a "human face". [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Individual motivation represented an important issue both for researchers and managers, starting with the human relations approach. A significant number of the organizational behaviour studies recently focused on this topic due to the importance of discovering and implementing new manners of improvement of the ways organizations work and of their member's behaviour, in the context of reconsidering the organizational paradigms. Considering these our paper aims to identify the particularities of the motivational processes and satisfaction in the military environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
