Abstract Conceived as an essay with scientific references, the present article aims to debate the changes and new directions in cultural journalism under the impact of mass-communication, digitization and the emergence of social networks. In the first part, the concept of culture, as an object of cultural journalism, is approached phenomenologically, in general considerations, to highlight semantic relativism, the difficulty of conceptual delimitations, as well as the diversity of thematic explorations in the cultural field. In the effort to identify the current orientations in cultural journalism, we propose an integrated approach to the social dimension (sociality), otherwise consubstantial with any cultural phenomenon. One of the conclusions of this article is that the borders between social and cultural journalism, arbitrarily drawn in theoretical approaches, become non-operational in the journalistic practice of alternative journalism that is much more interested in the social dimension of culture(s).

Abstract Online communication remains today predominant in influencing members of society through the use of new technical ways of communication. Traditional communication is thus being replaced by new ways. The media plays a huge role in disseminating information. According to Trappel, online media is a stand-alone genre. They meet first of all the defining characteristics of the media: they are public (they can be accessed by anyone), they are technically transmitted, they are addressed to a wide audience, they are characterized by periodicity and they relate to reality. On top of that, online media also have their own characteristics: they are multimedia (exceeding the limits imposed on print or classic media), they are digital (and therefore can be processed and dispersed) and they are interactive (they allow direct feedback). Especially the hypermedia possibilities of the internet bring an enormous flexibility in the creation and transmission of information. The period marked by the pandemic brought online communication to its peak. However, the online press must maintain a vital role in raising awareness of the masses in order to counteract the harmful effects of communication manipulation. The benefits of online communication must lead to an increase in the level of training of users, both in terms of media education and in terms of online education. Certainly, the online school will remain in the future, not only as an alternative, but also as an independent component of education.

Abstract The truth value of a proposition p is determined only relatively to a temporal moment. Therefore, only the d-propositions with the syntax „p is true at the moment t” have a determined truth value. The attempt to formalize these propositions using the conjunction connector leads to paradox. The paradox may be avoided through the quantification of possible interpretations of the propositional variables.

Abstract A particularly important indicator in diagnosing autism is the deficit in joint attention. This concept refers to a socio-communicative, pre-linguistic ability, which is accomplished by shared gestures and mutual monitoring of the attention given to an object or a certain event (Adamson, Bakeman and Deckner, 2004; Slaughter and McConnell, 2003). Joint attention mechanism is considered a pivotal ability, its development determining other functional areas to progress. Therefore, our research focuses on the development of this ability seen as the basis for a subsequent functioning as close to the normal parameters as possible. A functional evaluation of the joint attention ability was conducted for the three cases involved in this research and the effects of an intervention plan meant to develop this behavior were evaluated. The therapeutic process was structured on stages and conceived in accordance with the particularities and characteristics of each case, these being the premises for the program’s success. The positive results in acquiring this behavior are highlighted by the assessment of the therapy. This gives us the right to think that the therapy will have positive effects upon other developmental areas of these children, thus improving the quality of their lives.

Abstract In this study two recent cases which have captured the attention of the media in the last months are analyzed, one of them having in the center the statements of a Romanian influencer, and the second the statements of an international celebrity. Both cases are relevant on how social media influencers’ actions or public statements can affect the reputation of partner brands and their own audience engagement. Collaborations between social media influencers and companies have grown exponentially, and their durability over time is seen as a positive element, but the negative consequences of an influencer’s behavior can also affect the companies endorsed by him or her. That’s why both partners must weigh the advantages and the potential risks of their collaboration, both influencers and brands having responsibilities regarding the reputation of the other.

Abstract The COVID-19 crisis has accelerated the digital transformation of our communication, educational, social and economic systems. Since the beginning of the Pandemic, technology has been used on an unprecedented scale as an indispensable tool in our lives, following an ascent never known before this period. The digital transformation of communication, education, the social and economic environment continues to have an impact on the personal development of the population and especially on young people.

Abstract The mission assumed by Ibn ʻArabī, to guide the believers, to revivify the faith and to refine the esoteric knowledge of Islam, reaches an end in the Wisdom of the Prophets. Seen as the spiritual heritage of the great Sufi master, the Wisdom of the Prophets is the climax of his esoteric teaching. Shared with only few disciples, at the end of his life, the mystical references to the 27 prophets of Islam shed light on the mission and specific divine knowledge of each prophet, beginning with Adam and ending with the Seal of the entire prophecy, the Prophet Muhammad, who is to be seen as a vast synthesis of all previous revelations sent in the world by the Supreme. In the same time, the Wisdom of the Prophets is the final proof of his own saint situation, full of divine knowledge and grace, which fortified him to truly work for the benefit of the religious community and to revivify Islamic faith.

Abstract This paper examines the issue of trauma in terms of journalistic work. Our research methods are the questionnaire, the two focus groups, and the interview with a psychologist. This work identify the characteristics that journalists acquire in the face of critical situations, the defense mechanisms assimilated following exposure to traumatic experiences, the importance of trauma training for both experienced and aspiring journalists. The results of our research indicate that journalists have not received any training in journalism schools or newsrooms for the trauma they have been exposed to. They also felt professional, relational, and psychological risk factors. As for the protective factors, the journalists relied on family and friends. None of them received specialized help from a psychologist.

Abstract In the album Courage from 2019, Céline Dion released the song « Lying Down ». We found this song special because here we see some similarities between Sia’s vocal stamp in some songs and Céline Dion’s. We know, thus, a Céline Dion that combines a classic line with innovative pop elements, as we are already used to. What surprises in this song is the “strength” of the voice, which can easily send you to some philosophical perspectives. It is about the insistent ascendancy of the word “trust”, these coincidences often being found in Sia Furler. In our case, we want to use the Kantian perspective to talk about the predicate of beauty existing in all these “throws” and withdrawals vocalized from the same word – “trust” – which, from a philosophical point of view, we can call, without mistaking, “hermeneutic returns to words” (Maria-Roxana Bischin). We will try to analyze the words in this song and translate them into a literary-philosophical, but also a musicological perspective. Current research on Céline Dion is scarce, which is also due to the fact that the actress is still alive. But, as Dario Sarlo managed to write a rich Ph.D. thesis about the violinist Jascha Heifetz, our goal is to publish a scientific article based on this song signed by Céline Dion. We will also point out the elements of symbolism existing in these verses, we will focus on fermata’s modulations that make up the Kantian predicate of Beauty (see, in this sense, the Critique of Pure Reason) in the hypostasis of an infinite judgment.
