    International Language Testing Association Petroleum-Gas University of Ploiesti Faculty of Letters and Sciences Department of Philology Report on ILTA Workshop Promoting European Assessment Standards in Romania Ploiesti, October 18-19, 2013 1. Workshop organization Organized under the auspices of the International Language Testing Association (ILTA), the Workshop entitled Promoting European Assessment Standards in Romania aimed to fill in the gap between intended official policies, actual policies and current practices (policy in use) in the field of foreign languages, by assisting teachers with understanding and applying relevant descriptors from the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) in order to enhance the quality of test development and examination procedures. The 3,000 US dollar grant generously awarded by the International Language Testing Association (ILTA) contributed to ensuring the good organization of the two-day workshop for a group of 33 participants coming from 4 different Romanian counties (Prahova, Dambovita, Buzau, Brasov), as well as the travel costs, accommodation, and honorarium of the invited keynote speaker and Workshop leader, dr. Jana Bérešová, Head of the English Language and Literature Department, Trnava University, Slovakia. The Workshop homepage http://iltaworkshopro2013.wordpress.com/ provides information with regard to the Workshop program, facilitators and participants, ILTA Workshop Ro Gmail community, useful resources, follow-up events, and a few photos to remind us of the two wonderful and fruitful days that we spent learning from one another. The language of the Workshop was English, but among the participants there were also a few academics interested in using European descriptors of performance when assessing students’ competences in French, German, and Romanian as a foreign language.

  • Nitrogen and Phosphorous Excretion Rates by Tubificids from the Prahova
    Hydrobiologia (2006) 553:121–127 Ó Springer 2006 DOI 10.1007/s10750-005-9896-y Primary Research Paper Nitrogen and phosphorous excretion rates by tubificids from the Prahova River (Romania) Carmen Postolache*, Geta Rıˆ ßsnoveanu & Angheluta˘ Va˘ dineanu Department of Systems Ecology and Sustainable Development, University of Bucharest, Spl. Independentei 91–95, 76201, Bucharest, Romania (*Author for correspondence: Fax: 401-411-23-10; E-mail: [email protected]) Received 11 August 2004; in revised form 19 April 2005; accepted 1 June 2005 Key words: excretion rates, nitrogen, phosphorous, tubificids Abstract Nitrogen and phosphorous exchange at the water–sediment interface is controlled both by complex physico-chemical factors and biological processes. Zoobenthos excretion is one of the most important processes in the mineralization of sedimented organic mater. In polluted freshwaters, tubificid worms are among the dominant components of the benthic community. Rates of ammonium and inorganic phos- phate excretion by tubificids were experimentally assessed. They were related to the tubificid abundance in a stream ecosystem polluted with municipal and industrial wastewater. The relationship between these rates and temperature were investigated within the range of 4–23 °C. Relatively constant excretion rates were obtained for both nutrients in the first 8 h of excretion, ranging between 0.076 and 0.226 lg )1 )1 )1 )1 N mg d.w. h and 0.0065–0.01 lg P mg d.w. h , respectively. Q10 values of 2.52 for ammonium and 1.31 for phosphate were calculated. If we presume that all excreta eventually enters the water column, then we can calculate that these invertebrates potentially add 39.17 mg N m)2 day)1 and 0.49 mg P m)2 day)1.

Representing Local Actors in the Euro- pean Union: Perceptions of EU Policy Objectives and Regional Influence. 89 Initiative. 1.INTRODUCTION Does the European project struggle to present itself in a mea- ningful way to local communities, especially when they are far from metropolitan areas and centers of decision making? The divide between urban and non-urban areas seems to be signi- ficantly divisive in this respect. While in recent years efforts to reach out to local communities have multiplied and “periphe- ral” or “inner” areas have got more attention, much remains unknown about local communities’ perceptions, understanding and implementation of EU policies at the local level.
