ABSTRACT A STRATEGY FOR STRENGTHENING ROMANIAN SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST FAMILIES DEALING WITH COUPLE SEPARATION DUE TO ECONOMIC REASONS by Mihail Baciu Adviser: Dr. Marciana Popescu ABSTRACT OF GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH Dissertation Andrews University Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary Title: A Strategy For Strengthening Romanian Seventh-day Adventist Families Dealing With Couple Separation Due To Economic Reasons Name of researcher: Mihail Baciu Name and degree of faculty adviser: Marciana Popescu, Ph.D. Date completed: July 2006 Problem Financial challenges in Romania have prompted many Seventh-day Adventist people to leave their spouses and country to seek employment abroad. The impact of this phenomenon upon families has been significant. This situation occurred primarily between 1991 and 2000. Before 1990, generally speaking, the number of Seventh-day Adventist family separations or divorces was very low (around 30-40 families) in Romania. After 1991, this number increased dramatically to estimated 10-12,000 families. Temporary separation of spouses for economic reasons does not necessarily lead to a divorce. However, due to the complex implications of temporary separation on families, children and faith communities, this problem needs immediate attention. This study aimed to identify factors leading to separation, direct implications for the family, as well as existing support systems for couples undergoing temporary separation. The ultimate purpose of the study is to further inform program development to strengthen Seventh - day Adventist families in post-Communist Romania. Method The project reviewed current literature, including books and articles about factors that affect the family, and methods and strategies that address negative factors impacting the family. As part of this research, we also created a database of actual circumstances of Adventist Romanian families, through the collection of information from the Romanian Union Conference and from local Romanian Seventh-day Adventist churches most affected by this phenomenon. First, a survey was used to gather information about families affected by partial migration. Second, the focus group method was implemented to debate this problem at the level of the Romania Conference and Union. Results The goal of this project was to improve relationships within Romanian Seventh- day Adventist families by strengthening the relationship between spouses and between parents and children. Concurrently, an anticipated effect of the implementation of this project is a decrease in the number of divorces among Romanian Seventh-day Adventist families. Conclusion A church is strong if the families that compose that church are strong. We expect that the findings of this study will be used to implement an effective strategy that will contribute to the strengthening of families in the SDA Church in Romania. This project can also be implemented in other countries confronted with similar, limited term emigration problems.

  • On the Magazine Curierul Românesc (The Romanian Courier)
    ON THE MAGAZINE CURIERUL ROMÂNESC (THE ROMANIAN COURIER) Thirty-six years ago, on May 19th, 1980, my husband and I started the publication CURIERUL ROMÂNESC in Gothenburg, Sweden. From the beginning, we, Octavian Ciupitu and Silvia Constantinescu, have been the owners and editors of the publication, assisted by our four children (Mariejeanne Atanasia Ciupitu, Anne-Marie Theodora Ciupitu, Marc Paul Veniamin Ciupitu, and Theo Alex Christian Ciupitu) who started their “journalist” activities by attaching stamps to envelopes, then by publishing their own articles in the pages of the magazine, and ultimately by sponsoring the publication. We never hoped to have, nor did we ever have, any monetary gains from this activity. We never depended financially on anyone other than our family income; editing of the publication took place every evening after our regular day jobs: Octavian as an architect, and I as a teacher, librarian, translator, reviewer, correspondent for the BBC, Free Europe, etc. We donated the publication to those who wanted to read it. The publication has never been subject to, nor directed by, any authority or political party! We tried to make room for a large number of speakers of the Romanian language in exile, as well as some representatives of the Romanian and Swedish societies, regardless of their political leanings, ethnic or religious affiliation, and without censoring any ideas, because we considered, and continue to consider, that the role of the journalist is to correctly inform readers and give them the opportunity to form their own opinions, and not to be the propagandist in the service of those who pay better! When we started this publication, our hope was to connect with other politically exiled people from Romania, to let us share our experience of living in the country of Sweden, with a remarkably different way of thinking and behavior from that in Romania, and to learn as much as possible about this country in which we lived with our children, but doing so using the Romanian language.

The Cluj Metropolitan Area is located in Cluj County, the north-western development region of Romania. The strategic option of polycentric territorial development was adopted on the basis of the principles outlined in the NDP (National Development Plan)- on spatial development at regional level. This involves supporting development processes within urban growth pole. The associative structure at the Cluj Metropolitan Area (CMA) was formed at the end of 2008, continuing the efforts to establish a metropolitan area with economic specificity, initiated by Cluj County Council in 2006. Communes included in Cluj Metropolitan Area are also part of different micro-regional associations with relatively homogeneous characteristics. These associations were formed at the initiative of city halls and they have legal personality. Key words: Cluj Metropolitan Area, peri-urban refuge, urban space, rural space, development strategy. INTRODUCTION The city of the future must be an intelligent one, mostly named smart city, whose development is based on the exploitation of intellectual capital towards education/self-education, innovation and economic development among environment-friendly sectors of activity. Nicolae BACIU, Gheorghe ROŞIAN, Octavian-Liviu MUNTEAN, Vlad MĂCICĂŞAN, Viorel ARGHIUŞ, Radu MIHĂIESCU More specifically, municipal development should be based on high quality drinking water resources, appropriate waste management, improved air quality and appropriate hazard and risk management in order to maintain a clean and safe living environment.

  • Transnational Migrants from Izvorul Crişului
    Transnational migrants from Izvorul Crişului Katalin Vitos: Transnational migrants from Izvorul Crişului Introduction Until 1993 Romanian immigrants usually came as asylum seekers into the European Union. After the year of 1993 the political and social transformation of East Central and Eastern Europe led to a crucial modification of migration patterns and migration systems, new patterns of migration have emerged. Since the early 1990s, emigration from Romania has been strongly shaped by temporary, cyclical, and irregular migration (Horváth 2002, Horváth and Ohliger 2003, Horváth 2004, Lăzăroiu 2003, Sandu 2000a: 5–29, Sandu 2000b: 5–52). This newly de- veloped migration system can be characterized as transnational. Such systems, which have been researched for France, Germany, Italy and Israel (Diminescu 1996, Horváth and Ohliger 2003, Sandu 2000), are often based on local networks of circular migrants, often of rural origin. One of the characteristics of the migration system from Romania (and, in general, from Eastern Europe), after the changing of the regime, lies in the fact that existing patterns of migration cannot be described satisfactorily with the help of current typologies and notions, so the statistic system of registration, which is based on these, does not meet the new challenges. (Massey 2001, Horváth 2004, Massey 2004). The reason is that the notions we use to characterize these new phenomena were originally introduced for estimating less diverse migration tendencies that existed before the changing of the regime. After the transition, migration patterns diversified, different types of lives appeared among the migrants. In the present paper I describe a specific type of migration that, in a more simple term, is known as bilocability, and which is defined as transnational migration in the specialized litera- ture.

This article examines the stereotype accommodation hypothesis, which states Politicians that differences in cultural stereotypes between immigrants’ host and origin cultures areasource of inconsistent stereotype-relevant information that immigrants may or may not incorporate into their preexisting beliefs. Support for this hypothesis is found in two studies of locals in Romania, Germany, and France (N = 532), and Romanian immigrants in Germany and in France (N = 225). Length of stay in the host culture and acculturation orientation predict the stereotype accommodation regarding politicians, the only social group for which stereotypes substantially differ between origin and host cultures. The results represent the first step in a researchagenda for studying migrants’ socio-cognitive adaptation beyond the question of inter-ethnic stereotype change.
