The main problems are the emissions of greenhouse gases and other air pollutants, noise, and the tightness of surfaces due to building of infrastructure in the transport sector. Optimization of the supply chain is most often focused on finding the optimization, of flow of costs, time, quality criteria and services. For the use of multi-criteria combinatorial optimization uses several methods to support the optimization, such as the method of multi-criteria decisionmaking or optimization methods. Following the requirements of sustainable development and green marketing solutions is offered to reduce the pollution created by the logistics infrastructure. But the solutions do not take into account some of the aspects and critical issues that remain unresolved. As a result, we can summarize various elements describing the changes of the environment, such as pressure on the environment, the impact on the population, economy, ecosystems and the response of the society. Keywords: logistics, environmental protection, transportation, green supply chains. Recycling glass packaging Monica Delia DOMNICA* & Leila BARDAŞUC** *, ** Faculty of Economics, Alma Mater University of Sibiu, 57 Somesului St., 550003 Sibiu, Romania *European University of Madrid (Universidad Europea de Madrid) 1 E-mail: [email protected] 2 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract From the specialized literature it follows that glass packaging is not as used as other packages, but in some industries are highly needed. Following, two features of glass packaging will become important until 2017: the shape of the glass packaging and glass recycling prospects in Romania. The recycling of glass is referred to the fact that it saves energy, but also to be in compliance with the provisions indicating the allowable limit values for the quantities of lead and cadmium. Keywords: glass, packaging, features, evolution, recycling. 8 Abstracts of papers Alma Mater University of Sibiu Conference, 9th Edition, 28–30 May 2015, Sibiu Sustainable development between insurance and entrepreneurship Decebal - Manole BOGDAN University "1 December 1918" Alba Iulia, Romania, Alba, Alba Iulia, Str. Gabriel Bethlen, no. 5, Code 510 009; www.uab.ro E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Sustainable development is achieved when there is balance between the environment and sustainability, entrepreneurship (economic environment) and society (social environment). Entrepreneurial activities aim to make a profit by businesses that use rationally the environment. Subsequent management and strategy development are not sufficient elements to achieve that profit. Sustainable development requires efficient use of environmental resources (raw materials, water, air, soil, subsoil, chemical, biological and radioactive substances, etc.). For risks that disrupt economic activity such as natural disasters, fire, accidents, explosions, floods, etc., the management company may in some cases measures to limit the effects of these risks, but cannot annihilate. A successful business will be business development which is backed by ensuring potential risks. Keywords: sustainable development, ensuring profits, providing heritage insured risks, property damage, business plan, insurance, environment. Social activity of the human factor Sevdalina DIMITROVA* & Venelin TERZIEV** , * ** National Military University „Vasil Levski”, Blvd. „Bulgaria”, №76, 5000, Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria, Phone: Tel. +359887395307 1 E-mail: [email protected] 2 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The scientific research in this report is related to bringing out the key role of the human factor in social management in a dynamic environment, to studying various aspects of social activity and multiplying the role of the human factor to the components of a country's resources. The way of converting them into a finished product is traced in the planning of the goals of socioeconomic development, enabling an effective social policy. Key words: social management; social activism; Human Resources Management. 9 Abstracts of papers Alma Mater University of Sibiu Conference, 9th Edition, 28–30 May 2015, Sibiu Considerations on English synonyms from a semantic point of view Camelia BOARCĂŞ „Spiru Haret” University, Str. Unirii Nr. 32-34, 900532 Constanţa, tel. 0720008560 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This paper aims at analysing the behaviour of semantic relations in context. We started our research considering G. Leech’s definition according to which synonyms are the result of intuition, on the one hand, but also of social, behavioural and psychological context, on the other. Context becomes very important in structuring the types of synonyms and in analysing them at semantic level. The basic idea is that the synonymic relation cannot be total, but it depends on the context; two lexical items may be in a total synonymic relation in one context or more, but never in all. Differences may be of stylistic, register, emotional, dialectical nature, etc. Keywords: semantics, word, synonym, context, lexis, relation ESP – Modern theories in management Camelia BOARCĂŞ „Spiru Haret”, Str. Unirii Nr. 32-34, 900532 Constanţa, tel. 0720008560, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Contemporary theories of management tend to account for and help interpret the rapidly changing nature of today’s organizational environment. This paper deals with several important modern theories in management. Among them we can mention: the Scientific Management School, the Classical Organizational Theory School, the Behavioural School, the Management Science School, as well as recent developments in management theory comprising works such as: Systems approach, Situational or Contingency theory, Chaos theory, and Team building approach. This discussion will provide a general description of some of the scholars in each of these management theories and the successes that they achieved in this field of activity. Keywords: management, scientific schools, modern approach, development, organizational environment 10 Abstracts of papers Alma Mater University of Sibiu Conference, 9th Edition, 28–30 May 2015, Sibiu The analysis of camaraderie at the work place, in the culture of military organizations Daniela BELU “Henri Coanda” Air Force Academy, Mihai Viteazul 160, 500187, Brașov, Romania E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Friendship is the interhuman relation based on four main elements: 1) it emerges between two people who are not kindred; 2) it is optional and voluntary; 3) it is not founded on a legal agreement; 4) it is reciprocal. The aim of this paper is to analyse the situations in which friendship can emerge at the workplace and the situations in which it is even beneficial, in the culture of military organizations. Keywords: camaraderie, management, culture, the management based on emotional intelligence, preventing potentially destructive collegiality relations. Solutions to the problems of the work climate that are specific to the culture of the military organization Daniela BELU “Henri Coanda” Air Force Academy, Mihai Viteazul 160, 500187, Brașov, Romania E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This study aims at itemizing the modalities of managing the organizational conflicts that appear because of pseudo-camaraderie at work. Colleagues are not a quick solution meant to solving such issues as those related to loneliness or career, or to love disappointments, illness or failure. The role of positive comrades is to enrich our lives, making us happier. Keywords: camaraderie, management, culture, techniques of mediation of the disputes among colleagues, work climate. 11 Abstracts of papers Alma Mater University of Sibiu Conference, 9th Edition, 28–30 May 2015, Sibiu Considerations regarding the benefits of using methods to stimulate creativity in higher education Leila BARDAŞUC* & Nicuşor Marcel UDREA** * Faculty of Economics, Alma Mater University of Sibiu, 57 Somesului St., 550003 Sibiu, Romania ** European University of Madrid (Universidad Europea de Madrid) 1 E-mail: [email protected] 2 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The idea for this article started from the desire to find out how creativity and innovation are used in universities, how are they related to student training, preparing them to deal with the knowledge acquired in their years of education in a global environment where competition increases. Therefore it is necessary to obtain valid information from students, to discuss their views, their opinions and to encourage them to develop the skills necessary to achieve this during classes and seminars. The Romanian education system generally focuses on the effective transmission of information, while in the economically more developed countries, teachers are trying to find ways to involve the student in finding, processing and structuring of personal information, in the creation of creative students (such as e-learning systems). Therefore, the need to use methods that can develop and stimulate creativity in higher education becomes more imperative. Keywords: creativity, higher education, method, innovation. Modern perspectives of approaching the concept of oral expression in French for students in Political Sciences Alina SLOBODANIUC State University of Moldova Str. Alexei Mateevici 60, Chisinau, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Nowadays, the teaching of foreign languages, in general, and of the French in particular, is considered insufficient to meet the general requirements, in the context of globalization and Europeanization. Moreover, it should be sufficient when it comes to applying the language in all the contexts of social life. Because the implementation of professional standards in academic education calls for the creation and shaping of the competences suitable for each domain by deriving primary competences, we consider it important to specify the competence of oral expression in the structure of standards of professional preparation. The importance of the oral expression competence is mentioned in specialized literature, by pointing that this competence is substantial for the professional preparation of the student in the University realm. Key-words: oral expression competence, teaching French for academic purposes, academic goals, teaching-learning methods and technics, verbal communication. 12 Abstracts of papers Alma Mater University of Sibiu Conference, 9th Edition, 28–30 May 2015, Sibiu Oil-gas technique and technology, scientific bridge in both directions between East and West Marian RIZEA Faculty of Engineering and Environmental Management, Bd. Vasile Milea no.1G, Sector 6, Bucharest, Petroleum-Gas University of Ploiesti E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The discovery of oil and gas one hundred and fifty years ago, in Romania, United States and in further other states, has lead the way of human development towards a society based on hydrocarbons whereas the technical and technological competition between companies and states for the ultimate supremacy evolved and is still in progress. In the past century, the two world wars and the most recent conflicts we were and are contemporary with (Falkland Islands war, Iraq, Libya, Syria etc.) began with and for energy resources which resulted in a fierce battle on the front of research and streamline of this field. The technical and technology transfer in many areas, including the oil and gas one, disregarded ideological barriers imposed by the “Cold War” so that, through legal methods (imported licenses) and “reverse engineering” (intelligence), it carried through. Since the emergence of the “drilling method with rotary table”, discovered by the Romanian engineer Ioan Basgan which revolutionized the worldwide deep drilling technology and whose patent is still disputed by Romania and the United States, up to offshore drilling platforms, high pressure blowout preventers, drilling rigs for mining and transport for extreme weather conditions and to the controversial method of extracting shale gas, the transfer of science, engineering and technology knew and will know no boundaries. Keywords: technique, technology, technologic transfer, „reverse engineering”, patents. The manager and the stress in subordinates view inside of criminal prosecution institutions Ivan ANANE Law and administrative college, Ovidius University from Constanța, phone no. 0758950035 E-mail: i.anane @ yahoo.com Abstract In the case of institutions we can talk about a specific type of stress – institutional stress. Inside the groups it reveals a kind of consequences of dysfunctional conflicts determinate by professional stress: changes within the group, increasing group unity, the risk of an authoritarian leader, focus on group work and tasks, loyalty amplification. The manager and the subordinate live and work together; that is why, they need to know their mutual needs and interests. Knowing each other is at the origin of working group existence. A permanent coordinated interpersonal manager – subordinate relationship, in the manager’s view, is the staff appreciation, establishing and directing prosecution authority professional perspective. To be effective, a manager needs to know as accurately as possible his own leading personality, 13 Abstracts of papers Alma Mater University of Sibiu Conference, 9th Edition, 28–30 May 2015, Sibiu especially the way it is perceived by subordinates, to determine personality and expectations of all factors he interacts with, and thus, to use the appropriate leadership style situation. To obtain good results is necessary to know subordinates, which is a complex of actions initiated and carried out by managers designed to contribute to the scientific organization of the instructive – educational process, the efficient use of the full potential of subordinates. How to reduce stress - a healthy lifestyle, balanced food, relaxing in nature, more sports, recognition of limits, removing dark thoughts, group memberships must be optimistic. The displeasure of group members should not be interpreted as necessarily unfavourable. In the work group, the relationship between manager and subordinate should not rely on command and obedience, but on dialogue, which can sometimes mean reciprocal positions. This kind of dialogue is called request and answer relationship. Keywords: manager, subordinate, stress, roles, causes, methods, ways. Managerial communication within the institution of criminal prosecution Ivan ANANE Law and administrative college, Ovidius University from Constanța, tel .: 0758950035 E-mail: i.anane @ yahoo.com Abstract Management communication is a form of interpersonal communication, a management tool with which the manager may exercise specific tasks: planning, training, organization, coordination, control, evaluation. Communication management is an auxiliary of management, which puts into circulation information about the result of decisions, which return to the centre of decision, making it possible to match the execution with the objectives and the results with planning. Communication management of the institution is subject to specific ethical rules, which is found in the institutional culture, in the institutional policy and in managers’ individual ethics. The purpose of managerial communication is that of achieving correct information, efficient and effective both vertically and horizontally, in order to achieve internal and external requirements consistent with established management and institutional objectives in optimal conditions. There are several types of roles that can be fulfilled by managers: interpersonal, informational and decisional roles. Understanding and knowing management functions through communication is a major premise for deciphering mechanisms of any institution structures. Due to the complementarity established between management functions, the existence of interdependencies among themselves and between them and communication, the latter occupies a central place in the management system of any institution. Any manager of a institution communicates aiming at achieving specific goals. At the level of internal organization of any institution, the information must reach the right destination (department, directorate, office, member of the group) and the most important thing, it should be transmitted in time. If the information is delayed, if it does not arrive at the right time it loses its value. Communication between manager and subordinate is a key element in vertical communication downward or ascending in institutions. Ideally, this exchange should give the manager the opportunity to direct subordinates to perform the tasks properly, to clarify the reward context and provide social and emotional support. At the same time, it should allow subordinates to ask questions about their work roles and make proposals to allow optimal realization of goals through plans and policies within that institution. Keywords: communication, manager, subordinate, roles, functions, purpose, form, factors. 14 Abstracts of papers Alma Mater University of Sibiu Conference, 9th Edition, 28–30 May 2015, Sibiu Changing the hearing date in the proceedings regarding the registration of rights acquired by usucapio Ilie-Viorel ARSENE Alma Mater University - Sibiu, 7 Someșului Street, 550003 Sibiu, Romania; phone: +40269250008; E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Article 230 of the New Civil Procedure Code assumes all provisions of Article 153 para. 3 of the old Civil Procedure Code. It may be concluded that there are no problems in this situation and the hearing date can be changed ex officio or at the request of any interested party when there are reasonable grounds. We must bear in mind, however, the way we relate to the civil action and not neglect the special procedural provisions - where they exist- in view of the correct enforcement of law. A particular situation, when the change of the hearing date encounters controversy, arises when a corroboration of the provisions of Article 230 of the New Civil Procedure Code with the provisions of Article 1051 of the New Civil Procedure Code on the usucapio procedure is required. The judicial practice demonstrates the existence of controversial situations we are trying to present herein, while trying to come up with proposals to improve the relevant legislation. Keywords: change of the hearing date, summons, publication, reasonable grounds, completion of the hearing date. Humanists and pedagogues of the renaissance, theoretician followers of physical education Dionisie Vladimir TURCU Sibiu Alma Mater University, 57 Someşului, 550003, Sibiu, Romania, phone: +40269250008 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The eighteenth century is the century of Realism. The Renaissance placed education in the centre of culture and has drew the lines of a new human profile, which suited the needs of the bourgeois society. In this context, physical education had significant impact, returning to its rightful place after it had been removed during the middle ages. Outcast of the educational system, physical education had found refuge in popular games and preparation of knighthood. Renaissance humanist culture bound the broken thread of classical antiquity, brought back physical exercise in the education of youth and became an important element of the educational process. Teachers of this period, however, were thinkers and theorists, but they could not always implement their ideas in practice. Specifying the role of physical education in schools will become a complex concern, finding the best fitting forms and methods will be the mission for intellectuals and pedagogues in the following centuries. Keywords: Renaissance, teachers, physical education, culture, school. 15 Abstracts of papers Alma Mater University of Sibiu Conference, 9th Edition, 28–30 May 2015, Sibiu Performance Analysis in agriculture using Du Pont model Sorina Simona BUMBESCU “1 Decembrie 1918” University, Alba Iulia, Romania [email protected] Abstract Agriculture is an important sector in Romania, by the contribution that it has in the national economy and by its social vital role. In terms of agricultural performance, the current stage of development of Romanian agriculture is well below the EU, which is why it is necessary to analyze the performance of farms. The reasons for choosing this research consist in highlighting the importance of farm performance analysis, taking into account the contribution of agriculture in the national economy. The objective of this article is to conduct performance analysis of farms in Timis County using Du Pont model and highlight the correlation between the profit and profitability indicators: return on equity-ROE, return on assets-ROA, return on sales-ROS. The research conducted has led to two sets of results: the farms that have the highest profits are less attractive for investors because have the lowest rates of return; using the Pearson correlation coefficient, it was shown that there is a strong correlation between ROA-ROE, ROA-ROS, ROE-ROS. Key words: farms, agriculture, performance, Du Pont, Pearson correlation. Efficient Capital Markets and their Influence on National Economies Vasile CIOLPAN Sibiu Alma Mater University, 57 Someşului, 550003, Sibiu, Romania E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The paper wishes to highlight the connection between the performant capital market and the national economy of the state such capital market operates in. The evolution of the national economy is presented in the framework of financial globalisation. The following are analysed: the market conditions and the methods for influencing the capital market under the effects of the central bank intervention by means of the foreign exchange, the interest rate with effects on the balance of payments. In contemporary economies, no comment on the financial market is complete without mentioning the foreign currency trade, known as “carry trade”, the most modern and incisive universal trade fully exploiting the economic status of each country. The economic growth, generated by financial globalisation, sustained by the fundamental support of financial institutions (banks, stock exchanges, mutual funds, pension funds etc.) allow the international capital transfer and act as an interface between investors’ availability and economic needs. Key words: efficient market, financial globalisation, exchange rate, foreign currency trade, interest rate, currency offer, balance of payments. 16 Abstracts of papers Alma Mater University of Sibiu Conference, 9th Edition, 28–30 May 2015, Sibiu New features of strategies, techniques and negotiating tactics in international business Vergil CIUREA University Alma Mater Sibiu, Faculty of Economics, Legal and Social Sciences Hunedoara E-mail [email protected] Abstract Through this study we made a summary of the characteristics of negotiation strategies and tactics used in international transactions. In this approach we used data from the literature, the emphasis being on the psychological aspect that implementation strategies have on partners in the negotiation process. Also, for each of the strategies and tactics of negotiation recommendations were established to act accordingly. Keywords: Hazard, dissociation, story-makers, negotiating offers, stressing partner, surveillance, bribery, blackmail, violence. Particularly financial and political risk insurance Vergil CIUREA University Alma Mater Sibiu, Faculty of Economics, Legal and Social Sciences Hunedoara E-mail [email protected] Abstract In this study I wanted to achieve a synthesis regarding the main characteristics of insurance and financial risk of the policy in the current Romanian economy.

Good practice in special education between the system constraints and the rigors of science Loredana-Adriana TUDORACHE University of Bucharest, Șos. Panduri, no.90, Bucharest, Romania E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In this article we propose a conceptual delimitation of good practice in the field of special education. Although it often appears as a recommendation worth following, this significant term for improving the quality is most often undetermined by those who are using it. We believe that in the context of culture of evidence, it is important to analyse scientific substantiation of good practice and the assembly of referential that delineate its limits of replication.

Panduri, no.90, Bucharest, Romania E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This paper is based on a comparative analysis regarding the quality of special education as it is implemented in countries as Finland, Poland and Hungary intending to identify the role of national standardization in the quality equation. Following this analysis, we see compliance as a major attribute of quality in Romanian schools, while innovation and excellence tend to define and increase at the international level. The European countries analysed performed good, wellrooted policies (funded by state) in organizational culture, they allowed switching to own quality management systems, even if they do not have a rigorous national standards system. Specific national standards for special education quality in Romania is an innovative approach with definite value in building quality schools, but unfortunately insufficiently sustained for developing a model.

Romania being on the border of the two organizations has created a significant new geopolitical and geostrategic position. Therefore, on the one hand we are witnessing the actions aimed at strengthening defence and security of the Romanian state and on the other hand it is increasingly becoming a possible target of threats.

To be followed by our subordinates, to inspire them into higher levels of military teamwork, to lead them in fight and to be effectively and efficient on the modern battlefield there are crucial things for military organization, but these all don’t come easy and naturally for military personnel. Therefore, military that is in charge must be, know, and, do, things that are acquired through education, study, personal experiences and military training. So, the military leaders have had to continue adapt throughout the human history his acts of leading (military leadership) based on either philosophy or practice or, better, on both philosophy and practice, in concert with a complex and changing environment that has permanently required new views, conceptions and approaches, new attitudes, new skills and differing perspectives of the military who were and are in charge. On short, we consider that developing military leaders and leadership are critical issues for the modern military organization and, implicitly, for military profession. In this paper, we use a synthetic approach of some considerable issues for modern military organization and profession of the army – the military leader and military leadership.

Considerations about Financing Agriculture in Romania – A Special Type of Loan Daciana NEAMȚIU Sibiu Alma Mater University, 57 Someşului Street, 550003, Sibiu, Romania E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The study looks closer into the topic of direct aid in agriculture paid to the farmers in Romania, and outlines some aspects referring to the possibility to finance the direct payments through a special type of loan offered by the commercial banks. This loan is based on the agreement signed between the Agency of Payment and Intervention for Agriculture (APIA) and the commercial banks. The direct payments in agriculture, financed by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) are paid to the beneficiaries through the Agency of Payment and Intervention for Agriculture (APIA). Direct aids implemented under the Common Agricultural Policy plays an important role regarding Romanian farm income and has a major impact on the Romanian rural economy as a whole, as well. The project will focus on the strategies that APIA and the banks could find in order to help the farmers access more loans, and to increase the number of the farmers benefiting from loans.

That’s why such an approach needs to be well justified, to answer to some juridical and political social needs well defined, but mainly to correspond to the principles and rules specific to a constitutional and state’s democratic system providing to the state the stability and functionality it needs. In this study we analyze the necessity of such a constitutional reform in Romania, and also some provisions from the report of the Presidential Commission for the analysis of the political and constitutional regime in our country. We formulate our opinions in relation to the justifying some constitutional regulations. In this context, we consider that there are arguments for the maintaining of the bicameral parliamentary system and an eventual revising of the fundamental law needs to consider the measures needed to guarantee the political and constitutional institutions specific to the lawful state. Keywords: Revising of the Constitution; limits of the constitutional revising; bicameral system; power excess; guaranteeing of the fundamental liberties; constitutional norms. Principle of proportionality, criterion of legitimacy in the public law Marius ANDREESCU Curtea de apel Piteşti & Universitatea din Piteşti, Str.Victoriei, nr 22, Piteşti, Arges County, Romania E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A problem of essence of the state is the one to delimit the discretionary power, respectively the power abuse in the activity of the state’s institutions. The legal behavior of the state’s institutions consists in their right to appreciate them and the power excess generates the violation of a subjective right or of the right that is of legitimate interest to the citizen. The application and nonobservance of the principle of lawfulness in the activities of the state is a complex problem because the exercise of the state’s functions assumes the discretionary powers with which the states authorities are invested, or otherwise said the ‘right of appreciation” of the authorities regarding the moment of adopting the contents of the measures proposed. The discretionary power cannot be opposed to the principle of lawfulness, as a dimension of the state de jure. In this study we propose to analyze the concept of discretionary power, respectively the power excess, having as a guidance the legislation, jurisprudence and doctrine in the matter. At the same time we would like to identify the most important criterions that will allow the user, regardless that he is or not an administrator, a public clerk or a judge, to delimit the legal 29 Abstracts of papers Alma Mater University of Sibiu Conference, 9th Edition, 28–30 May 2015, Sibiu behavior of the state’s institutions from the power excess. Within this context, we appreciate that the principle of proportionality represents such a criterion. The proportionality is a legal principle of the law, but at the same time it is a principle of the constitutional law and of other law branches. It expresses clearly the idea of balance, reasonability but also of adjusting the measures ordered by the state’s authorities to the situation in fact, respectively to the purpose for which they have been conceived. In our study we choose theoretical and jurisprudence arguments according to which the principle of proportionality can procedurally be determined and used to delimit the discretionary power and power abuse. Keywords: discretionary power; power excess; subjective right; principle of lawfulness; principle of proportionality; constitutional law. The Procedure of plea bargaining in Romania, a Negotiation or just a Formal Institution? The Common Law System Versavia BRUTARU "Acad. Andrei Rădulescu" Legal Research Institute of Romanian Academy, Calea 13 Septembrie no.13, corp B, et. 4, sector 5, Bucharest E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Common law adversarialism is generally contrasted with West European inquisitorialism, which is said to be characterized by an active role for the fact-finder, by decisions based on full judicial inquiry and by truth-seeking rather than proof-making. The main differences lie in the role of examining or investigating judges or magistrates, at least in relation to serious offences. European systems do not have jury trials in exactly the same form as common law systems, although lay persons sit on the bench in some cases and jury trials that are more akin to common law trials are exceptional and reserved for the most serious crimes. Inquisitorial systems have not generally recognized guilty pleas, and plea-bargaining is only a recent innovation in some jurisdictions. There is a traditional, but gradually shrinking, divided between jurisdictions that adhere to the principle of legality, whereby the prosecutor is required by law to prosecute where there is sufficient evidence that a crime has been committed. The actual regulations concerning plea bargaining (an admission of guilt in Romania) is, if we may say so, totally different from the common law system, mostly because that was not a tradition in our country, and now, somehow, it seems odd to have in our juridical penal system such an institution. To the extent that diversion is a product of plea-bargaining, there are a number of structural differences between the adversarial and inquisitorial systems. Because the concept of a guilty plea is absent in the latter system, no bargains can be struck between the prosecution and defence: the prosecution has a different duty to the court and the judge is involved in the preliminaries of the case, at least in serious cases. This legal structure is theoretically antithetical to prosecutorial discretion and to the idea of limiting the process to proof-making rather than truth-finding. On the other hand, the fact that the police, prosecutors and courts are involved from the very early stages should mean that, at least in theory, the inquisitorial system is more conducive to court-administered or court-supervised therapeutic intervention programmes. Keywords: plea bargaining, admission of guilt, Romanian Penal code, common law 30 Abstracts of papers Alma Mater University of Sibiu Conference, 9th Edition, 28–30 May 2015, Sibiu The evolution of the „beneficium competentiae” concept in Roman law.

This was due to the formal strictness that defined the classical Roman law. With the evolution of the social relations, the acceptance of payment confined to the limits of the debtor’s actives developed – the so-called “beneficium competentiae”. This proceeding seems to become of actuality in the context of the discussions regarding the insolvency of natural persons and the paper intends to be a presentation made from the angle of the evolution of law and of the reasons that lay behind any norm.

Although the process of European construction (multidimensional: political, economic, administrative, military and certainly, identity-wise) has added a new identity stake (the European one), national education is still a goal in itself, even if the question of European versus national still persists as a controversial issue. Nevertheless, he implication of history of in the educational process is influenced by the paradigm under which it’s writing and dissemination is approached (historism, historicism), the type of relationship between historical research and political power and, in some cases, it even pertains to the way in which each historian relates to the past from a professional point of view.

The choice of this specific topic arises from a steady interest in the systematic study of a clearly defined constituent of the Romanian vocabulary, particularly the names of different flower types, so as to understand the internal structure of language and to come to know the images they create in Mihai Eminescu’s poetic language. Thus, several flower types have been identified, such as garden flowers, wild flowers, flowering trees and shrubs, and acquatic plants. Keywords: flower, Mihai Eminescu’s anthumous poetry, poetic imagery, the symbol of love. The linden tree in Mihai Eminescu’s anthumous poetry Maria ALEXANDRESCU* & Loredana-Aurelia ALEXANDRESCU** * ,,Alexandru I.Cuza’’ University, Carol I Street, No.11, 700506, Iaşi, Romania ** Highschool of Mechatronics and Automation Technology, Iaşi *E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This paper’s main objective is the analysis of the flower names which have fundamental terms embedded in their structure, expressions of some mythical, metaphorical or symbolic developments. The stylistic analysis and the lexical-semantic analysis of the floral elements are the methods we used in our approach. The choice of Mihai Eminescu’s poetry as a source of analysis of the poetics of floral elements has been prompted by the fact that Eminescu is the one who places Romanian poetry in the context of European poetry. As well as jasmine, lilac, the cherry blossom, and the apple blossom, the linden tree is part of the flowering trees and shrubs class. Keywords: poetic imagery, the magic spell sign, edenic nature, man-nature solidarity. 34 Abstracts of papers Alma Mater University of Sibiu Conference, 9th Edition, 28–30 May 2015, Sibiu Study on the particular elements that define the economic - financial frauds Mihai Adrian BUCUR IPJ Sibiu, Revoluției Street, no. 4-6 cod 550170, Sibiu E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This study highlights certain elements that define the concept of economic- financial fraud, and also certain significant views on their content and structure.

Our study aims at analyzing the prejudice, mainly from the perspective of logic, allowing a novel analysis on the origins, etiology, manifestations, detection and main ways of removal. We find that prejudices are not altered expression of thought, but altered expression of individual thought, own products or result in coverage of social cooperation of the cognitive game. So, the thinking process betrays itself by objectifying language (formulation) and in the form of prejudice.

The profound, significant changes that have taken place in the Romanian economy in recent years, during the process of transition towards the market economy, led to the intensification of competition, and, under these circumstances, the economic agents have gradually understood the necessity of focusing their activity on marketing. The promotion policy, which is a component of the marketing mix, is meant to communicate with the target markets (it is also called marketing communications) by using various promotion techniques and means. Due to its importance in the marketing policy, as well as in the general policy of an organization, and to the impact it has on consumers, as a result of the contact established with them, the promotion activity is paid much attention to. Keywords: promotion policy, marketing policy, marketing mix, advertising techniques, message, product, distribution channel 37 Abstracts of papers Alma Mater University of Sibiu Conference, 9th Edition, 28–30 May 2015, Sibiu Opinions on the Economic Integration of Roma in Romania Mihai ANTONOVICI Sibiu Alma Mater University, 57 Someşului, 550003, Sibiu, Romania, phone: +40269250008 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Roma integration is more than a matter of social inclusion, having a positive economic impact.

Thus, economic agents were forced to adopt a new vision towards the market, putting into action new methods and management techniques, scientific investigation of the market, the operative adaptation to the market, as well as influencing it. This new approach of traders is known as "image creation and the management of the company’s image" in conjunction with rigorous management.
