Tourist valorization of the wooden cultural heritage from the Crisul Repede hydrographic basin

The Crisul Repede hydrographic basin possesses a valuable but poorly explored anthropic tourist potential. In this sense, the woodworking crafts (making tools and handicraft articles of wood) and the wooden cultural heritage components emerge (houses and household annexes, wooden gates, shadufs, wells with wooden wheels, traditional technical installations, wooden churches and wooden crosses). Taking into consideration the tourist’s will to know and understand the local culture and the traditional life of the inhabitants, it is necessary to find solutions for the tourist valorization of these components and to introduce these solutions in the development strategies of the involved administrative - territorial units. A proper tourist valorization of the wooden cultural heritage, which is, in fact, the most important cultural heritage of the inhabitants from the studied area, would ensure its sustainability course.Tomasz Wiskulsk

Rhetorical Critic's Role and Mission in Communication

AbstractThe Classical Greco-Roman rhetoric is considered to be the humanist basis of the Western cultures. This study aims to highlight the importance of the rhetorical tradition in the study of human communication. Rhetorical criticism of the communication sciences is one of the main approaches to qualitative textual analysis. In a meta-theoretic approach our work tries to establish the specific rhetorical criticism as a qualitative, interpretative and subjective discourse research method in our contemporary communicative society. We argue that the teacher who teaches his students rhetorical criticism provides a range of methodological and educational clues such as: understanding other people, clarification of the values, aesthetic appeal, community consensus and changing of the society. After all, the rhetorical critic's role is to internalize and propose a humanist alternative opposed to the dominant objective paradigm. Rhetorical critic's mission is to come up with his own discursive voice which is meant to communicate about the contemporary social and political challenges. In the spirit of the methodological pluralism we consider that in the field of communication, the practitioners of quantitative and qualitative methods should enjoy recognition and mutual respect

SPORTS PRACTICE AS THERAPEUTIC METHOD IN PHYSICAL REHABILITATION PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL EDUCATION NEEDS

Our main concern consists in offering an optimal physical development rehabilitation program for children with special educational needs. The therapeutic programs we approach in special schools is based on the diversity of physiotherapy methods and playful physical activity. To increase pupil’s interest in physiotherapy sessions and to make this therapy more pleasant for these children, we introduced key elements from regular sport activities in their individual therapeutic intervention programs (e.g. basketball- played at a larger and lower positioned basket, football- played with a lighter ball in a small field, bocce- played with lightweight balls on a smaller field). These programs have been well received, no special needs child was yet to refuse playing any adapted sport for their condition. By introducing regular sports in the physiotherapy programs applied for children in our school, we succeeded to forward socialization, team-work, improving gross and fine motor skills, developing high receptivity towards sports. In order to bring out the best of their abilities, each and every child is given the opportunity and is encouraged to compete in local sports competitions organized for children with special needs. There are connections between mental and physical wellness. Maintaining physical health can also support mental well-being. In this way, everyone can use athletics as a form of treatment. This review will go into great detail on the therapeutic benefits of sport for kids, including how it can help them individually achieve better physical and emotional results and facilitate social integration. For the diversity of the therapeutic program and the healthy development of these children, as well as for the increase of their quality of life, it is necessary to integrate mainstream sports in the curriculum of special schools, as long as they are adapted to the needs of children with disabilities

Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Solid-State NMR Investigations of Heteronuclear Zn/Co Coordination Networks - A Comparative Study

Synthesis and solid-state NMR characterization of two isomorphous series of zinc and cobalt coordination networks with 1,2,4-triazolyl benzoate ligands are reported. Both series consist of 3D diamondoid networks with four-fold interpenetration. Solid-state NMR identifies the metal coordination of the ligands, and assignment of all 1H and 13C shifts was enabled by the combination of 13C editing, FSLG-HETCOR spectra, and 2D 1H–1H back-to-back (BABA) spectra with results from NMR-CASTEP calculations. The incorporation of Co2+ replacing Zn2+ ions in the MOF over the full range of concentrations has significant influences on the NMR spectra. A uniform distribution of metal ions is documented based on the analysis of 1H T1 relaxation time measurements

CONSERVATING THE TRADITIONAL CELLARS OF SALACEA, BIHOR COUNTY, ROMANIA

This paper argues for the enhanced utilization of the built heritage in the case of the unique cellars of Salacea, Bihor Country which is called „the village of 1000 cellars„. The research analysis of the cellars includes field investigations, study of existing bibliography, air-photo interpretation. For examining the architectureal plans, facades and volumes use was made of software such as: Archicad 22 R1 INT version 22.0.0.3006, Artlantis (2017) 6.5 version 6.5.2.14, Adobe Illustrator CC (2017) version 21.1.0 and Adobe Photoshop CC (2015) version 16.1, and for processing the photos Adobe Lightroom version 6.12. Cartographic materials have been processed in 3D Studio Max, Corel Draw and Corel Photopaint. The use of spatial data allowed identification and analysis of important aspect for understanding the territorial reality. The study identifies two authentic models of cellars that could be exploited for their heritage potential for tourism development and a source of income for the local area
