LINGUISTIC STRATEGY AND ECONOMIC PROFITABILITY

How profitable is to know/speak one international modern language or another can be taken into consideration if we are aware that language skills have market value, implying some additional profit. We have a dimension, a commercial value of language. But we can not ignore the noncommercial value of a language; that value which is not reflected in the price, but it is perceived, by individuals, as making possible human contacts, access to the cultural values of a nation. Noncommercial but important, we’d say, because linguistic diversity has inestimable value for those who appreciate it as much as they appreciate their natural environment. In this logical reasoning, an individual can make a choice, and the authorities can guide the policy of learning modern languages.linguistic profit, commercial value of language, linguistic policy, linguistic justice, learning costs.

CONTEMPORARY GLOBALIZATION - CONFRONTATIONS OF IDEAS

In the last years the humanity assists to the fundamental changes in economy no matter the level from which is regarded. These changes are so fast and intensive that many times the humanity is confronting also with adaptation difficulties and also with thglobalization, antiglobalization, mondialization, internationalization

INVESTMENT AND INNOVATION IN SUPPORT OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT IN ROMANIA

Globalization, migration trends, information’s, changes in rural policies and theemergence of important non-farm niche markets put rural regions in direct competitionconfronting them with threats and opportunities that require new policy approaches at thenational and sub-national level. Against this fast changing scenario, policy makers need tore-think their priorities for rural investments. These research’s paper try to answer to keyquestions: 1) What sectors hold potential for rural development? 2) What kind of investmentsand policies can help release such potential? Evidence from across the OECD shows that thecapacity of regions, whether urban or rural, to support processes of learning and innovationis a key source of competitive advantage. Innovation in rural areas can be about ââ¬Ëdoingtraditional activities in a new way’, about starting up new businesses or about changing theway government interacts with citizens. In all these cases innovation is strongly linked withsocial processes such as the creation of networks, the strengthening of local identities, andthe creation and dissemination of knowledge.innovation, support of development, technology platforms

NEW ASPECTS REGARDING THE EVALUATION OF INVESTMENTS IN CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE

The additional risks associated to the actual global and contagious crisis put a severe pressure on the investments in critical infrastructure and there is a real need for new valuations especially those regarding the synergic financing strategies in critsynergic investments, critical infrastructure, real options valuation (ROV)

The Body’s Memory Archives in the Process of Generating an Aesthetic Movement and `Flow Experiences` for the Audience in the Production of the Performance tXc -TOXIC (after F. Richter’s play Rausch)

The present enquiry is particularly interested in the performer’s body archiving memory while generating poetic movement on stage. The main site of investigation is a theatre-dance performance and the work engaged by the performers of tXc-TOXIC (after the Falk Richter’s play Rausch, an Insula Creative Hub production, directed by Cristian Grosu, choreographed and co-directed by me). The focal point of my argument is that, with proper and sustained body training, performers can easily incite and produce aesthetic movement after engaging the CI (contact improvisation) means of accessing movement and body memory

To curate a part of one’s soul. Transplanting a performance in three (radically) different spaces

The curating process of a performance like 4.48 Psychosis by Sarah Kane constitutes a reflection of a round, back and forward act of doubt and belief. A  suitable or a malicious managerial decision in chancing a given data in the performance can determine the path and the course of the show. Every act or  management action can alter the channels of communicating with the audience and its perception and reception of the performance

Rencountering Oneself. Reshaping the Body‐Mind Unity in the Acting Classroom

The following article treats the subject of first year pedagogy in the acting classroom: body-mind concept, the use of space-time in a theatrical approach, the understanding of the performer-student’s own body. In the borders of the classroom a profound research on the body and its performative actions is required alongside a personal tackle in the physical patterns of the performer-student and the constructive use of the creative process. The article is a short graphical inside of how an acting technique like Viewpoints can provide a large range of possibilities from which a student can begin to understand the relationship between one own’s body and space-time cuantum, body-mind-presence

Multifunctional Materials: A Case Study of the Effects of Metal Doping on ZnO Tetrapods with Bismuth and Tin Oxides

Hybrid metal oxide nano‐ and microstructures exhibit novel properties, which make them promising candidates for a wide range of applications, including gas sensing. In this work, the characteristics of the hybrid ZnO‐Bi2O3 and ZnO‐Zn2SnO4 tetrapod (T) networks are investigated in detail. The gas sensing studies reveal improved performance of the hybrid networks compared to pure ZnO‐T networks. For the ZnO‐T‐Bi2O3 networks, an enhancement in H2 gas response is obtained, although the observed p‐type sensing behavior is attributed to the formed junctions between the arms of ZnO‐T covered with Bi2O3 and the modulation of the regions where holes accumulate under exposure to H2 gas. In ZnO‐T‐Zn2SnO4 networks, a change in selectivity to CO gas with high response is noted. The devices based on individual ZnO‐T‐Bi2O3 and ZnO‐T‐Zn2SnO4 structures showed an enhanced H2 gas response, which is explained on the basis of interactions (electronic sensitization) between the ZnO‐T arm and Bi2O3 shell layer and single Schottky contact structure, respectively. Density functional theory‐based calculations provide mechanistic insights into the interaction of H2 and CO gas molecules with Bi‐ and Sn‐doped ZnO(0001) surfaces, revealing changes in the Fermi energies, as well as charge transfer between the molecules and surface species, which facilitate gas sensing

ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS OF SEVERAL SPECIAL PROPER NOUNS

Our ability to function in today’s social and economic world is mightily affected by our language skills and word knowledge. A spoken language is dynamic, its vocabulary being enriched by new words all the time. A special category of lexical creations are the eponyms and the antonomasias, linking various fields: literature, history, mythology, economics, marketing, law etc. A brief analysis of some of these proper names, now common nouns, shows us that poor interdisciplinary knowledge makes the understanding of a text almost impossible. Eponyms and antonomasia are met in everyday language. Their study yields a fascinating insight into the rich heritage of the languages and their development. From a legal and an economic point of view, these phenomena have affected the right of a trademark since becoming legal. It is true that finding a name for a new product is a risky approach, particularly from the financial point of view. The paper provides examples and discusses the most important aspects implied by these linguistic issues.economic phenomenon, brand risk, linguistic phenomenon, lexical creations

Fabrication of ZnO Nanorod-Based Hydrogen Gas Nanosensor

The nanofabrication of a hydrogen nanosensor from single ZnO branched nanorods using in-situ lift-out technique, performed in the chamber of a focused ion beam (FIB) system is disclosed. A self-assembled ZnO branched nanorod has been grown by a cost-effective and fast synthesis route using an aqueous solution deposition method and rapid thermal processing. The properties of the ZnO nanorod structures were analyzed by X-ray difhction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersion X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and micro-Raman spectroscopy. High quality ZnO nanorods were obtained with a 90% success rate for building nanodevices. The fabricated nanosensor can gauge 150 ppm hydrogen gas in the air at room temperature. The nanosensor has selectivity for other gases such as oxygen, methane, carbon monoxide and liquid propane gas. The single ZnO branched nanorod sensor also operates at low power of less than 5 microwatts
