Sorin Stati was a prestigious Romanian scientist whose 54-year of scientific activity included 220 papers and 130 lectures. Born in Romania, he studied at the University of Bucharest and worked from the beginning as a member of large research teams within the Romanian Academy. Single and collaborative works written up until 1972 and published in the country were exceptional, decisively changing the movement of Romanian linguistic ideas. After 1972, when he emigrated to Italy, the distinguished professor held a second doctorate and a chair at the University of Bologna. From then until his death, through his works and throughout his activity, he opened new theoretical perspectives both in the study of syntax and pragmatics, dialogue, in the analysis of the 'transfrastic' relationships, lexicology and semantics. His ability to influence these fields lies in the volumes that the international academic community offered at the age of 65, but also in the number of articles and homage volumes dedicated to Sorin Stati after 2008, the year of his death. The publication of his works continued ten years after his death. I personally owe him a large part of my linguistic thinking, being decisively influenced by his wonderful and fertile ideas during the period when I was preparing my PhD thesis. The bibliography of Sorin Stati's works, as seen above, was made up of two incomplete editions, without being unified so far with his other works. That is what we intended in this article. In addition to the previous bibliographies, we record here the understandings, respectively the reviews of his works, but also the homage articles and volumes without which, we think, a bibliography of any scientist remains incomplete.

The paper analyses the concepts of violence and harassment at work in order to: (i) better understand the complexity of the processes; (ii) promote a multidimensional perception of the role played by colleagues and superiors; (iii) more clearly define the two concepts and while observing the links between conflict and harassment. The analysis is based on the definition of the concepts, the regulation at international, European and national level, as well as the impact on workers' mental health and the reflection of their application in judicial practice both from the employer's and the worker's perspective, in the context of Romania's ratification of the ILO Convention No 190/2019 on the elimination of violence and harassment in the world of work.

Romanian Sign Language (LSR) interpretation is underrepresented in Romanian research, significantly affecting the accessibility of TV and online commercials destined for deaf people. This paper investigates the theoretical aspects of the relationship between Romanian advertising and the deaf community, highlighting the shortcomings of providing accessible advertising content. In both television and online environments, Romania faces challenges compared to other European countries when it comes to including sign language interpretation in advertisements. The absence of an adequate regulatory framework and mandatory legislation for advertising agencies limits the integration of deaf people in the media environment. This research analyzes these issues, contributing to a deeper understanding of the impact on the deaf community and the need to improve information accessibility in Romania. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article examines how the crisis phenomenon is discussed in the Romanian public communication environment. The authors argue that in the current context, where society is marked by multiple crises, the term “permacrisis” has become relevant, describing a state of permanent crisis affecting the society at multiple levels. The authors analysed how the topic of crisis has been represented in the Romanian media, focusing on articles published online between 2017 and 2022. Through quantitative and qualitative analysis, the study highlights a significant increase in crisis-related mentions since 2020, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. This increase indicates a shift in public perception and media discourse, suggesting the normalisation and acceptance of the crisis as a constant state. Four dominant themes associated with the crisis were identified in media discourse: the economic crisis, the health crisis generated by COVID-19, the domestic political crisis and the crisis generated by the war in Ukraine. These themes illustrate the different facets of the permacrisis in Romania, from the economic and social impact, to political uncertainty and the consequences of pandemics and geopolitical conflicts. The paper highlights the importance of recognising and understanding the phenomenon of permacrisis in Romanian society in order to develop more eff ective strategies for managing crises and building a more resilient society.

Military operating concepts are the mandatory starting point for the defence forces design and development. The Consolidated National Defence and the Integrated Joint Force, two operating concepts presented in the Military Strategy of Romania - 2021, provide the necessary vision for the transformation and adaptation of the Romanian Armed Forces and the joint force to the current and future realities of the operating environment. In this article the author presents some considerations related to the place, role and importance of operating concepts used by the armed forces of other states, accompanied by some examples and points of view that might help to better understand the terms, to develop and implement these concepts and their subsequent concepts, doctrines, and capabilities through which they are operationalized in the Romanian Armed Forces.
