Serological samples were processed by ELISA technique (immunoenzymatic assay). The blood samples were collected from 100 individuals of each multinational farm, and from each farm type SC. In pig multinational farms Toxoplasma infection prevalence was 0.88%, with variations between 0 and 7%, and in pigs type SC farms, the Toxoplasma gondii infection prevalence was 1.5%, with variations between 0 and 5%. Key words: Toxoplasma gondii , pigs, intensive breeding Toxoplasmosis is one of the most common parasitosis in humans and animals, it being placed on the top three global spread (2). The cat is the key element in the epidemiology of toxoplasmosis. For toxoplasmosis transmission, a very important role it have raw meat consumption. In pigs, infection occurs by eating kitchen scraps unsterilized or rodents (6). Necropsy diagnosis in the slaughterhouse, it is very difficult to done, because very small necrotic lesions are difficult to observe. Serological diagnosis is possible to made in the slaughterhouse, but is not warranted in our economic Country's conditions (1).

This study aims to fi rstly develop a brief review of the creation and functioning of the European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation (EGTC), highlighting the role of the EGTC in respect of its contribution to the harmonious development of the whole European Union through the strengthening of economic, social and territorial cohesion. The article highlights recent changes in EU legislation governing the EGTC and analyses the infl uence that there is in choosing the State where a Gro uping will be located, and the applicable law. Subsequently, the article outlines the contribution of those EGTCs – constituted by municipalities in Romania and Hungary – to regional sustainable development. Utilising a cross-border EGTC is a way of promoting of better neighbourliness, and stimulating balanced economic development and social stability by harnessing local resources and regional joint projects. At the end of the article I stress the need for cross-border cooperation between Romania and Hungary in developing services of general economic interest, as well as transport infrastructure and tourism. Keywords: European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation (EGTC), territorial cooperation, cross-border governance, municipalities I. INTRODUCTION The European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation (EGTC) is a legal, non-profi t entity, composed of states, regional authorities and local authorities, bodies governed by public law within the European Union with the objective of facilitating and promoting cross- border, transnational and/or interregional cooperation (Spinaci–Vara-Arribas 2009: 5) between its members for the purpose of strengthening the economic, social and territorial cohesion of the European Union.

  • Considerations on the Records of Timiş County (The 14Th – 16Th Centuries)*
    CONSIDERATIONS ON THE RECORDS OF TIMIŞ COUNTY (THE 14TH – 16TH CENTURIES)* Livia Magina** Keywords: administrative writing, documents, Timiş County Cuvinte cheie: scrierea administrativă, documente, comitatul Timiş The spreading of literacy and the evolution of the art of writing, as well as its escape from the ecclesiastical monopoly during a period when the written word was disseminated, having gained full-fledged currency, are issues that have sporadically been approached in several Romanian historiographical studies. The development of literacy and the evolution of writing represent a niche that has so far been scantily researched. This phenomenon has been studied with greater interest by Hungarian historians and linguists. In both literatures, however, writing at the level of the county’s administrative bodies has remained enveloped in obscurity, being treated as a subsidiary theme in the monographs dedicated to various counties. The project of achieving an overview of the entire plethora of documents produced at the level of an institution requires in-depth knowledge of several factors: the territorial sphere of influence that an insti- tution can function within, the organizational chart of the institution and, not least, the types of documents issued thereby and their circuit. On the other hand, the 14th – 16th centuries represented a period in which rather than promoting the spreading of literacy and being constantly used, writing as a phenomenon was still allied with innovation and “technologization.” The sphere of influence The need to emphasize the boundaries of the county outlines, in fact, the limits within which its officials could act. When we speak about a territorial administrative unit, we usually envisage its boundaries too, but few are those * This study has benefited from the financial support offered by the Grant PN II-ID-PCE - 2012 - 4 - 0579 Between the Public and the Private.
