Mat° enco b aProspect° iuni S.A., Hydrocarbon Division, 20 Coralilor str., Bucharest, 1, Romania bBucharest University, Faculty of Geology and Geophysics, 6 Traian Vuia str., sect. 1, 70139, Bucharest, Romania Received 25 October 1998; received in revised form 2 August 1999; accepted 6 August 1999 Abstract A detailed seismic sequence stratigraphy study based on a dense network of seismic pro®les is integrated with structural observations from interpreted geological sections to derive a tectonic and sedimentological model for the Miocene±Pliocene evolution of the South Carpathians foredeep (Getic Depression). Following Paleogene and older orogenic phases, the ®rst tectonic event which aected the studied area was characterised by Early Miocene large scale extension to transtension which is responsible for the opening of the Getic Depression as a dextral pull-apart basin. Further Middle Miocene contraction caused WNW±ESE oriented thrusts and associated piggy-back basins. The last tectonic episode recognised in the studied area relates to general transpressive deformations during the Late Miocene±Early Pliocene interval, a ®rst NW±SE oriented dextral episode is followed by second N±S sinistral deformations. The detailed sequence stratigraphy study allows for the de®nition of the dominant tectonic control of the sedimentary sequences in foreland basins. A eustatic

    Contributions to the Knowledge of the Bats' Fauna in the Rodna Mountains National Park Iuşan Claudiu

    Contributions to the knowledge of the bats' fauna in the Rodna Mountains National Park Iuşan Claudiu Abstract During the period 2004-2017, 20 species of bats were identified in the Rodna Mountains National Park through direct observations from the cave visits and the use of monitoring using mixed bat detectors (heterodines with frequency division and expansion time) and chicropterological nets placed in forest and aquatic habitats. Of the 20 species of bats in the Rodna Mountains, one is included in the category of vulnerable species (VU), 3 species in the moderate threat category (NT). The inventory of bats species bas increased from 14 to 20 species through research carried out with the support of the Rodna Mountains National Park Administration, but the number of species in the Rodna massif may increase in future studies. Keywords: lilieci, peşteri, protejat, inventar lntroduction The bats study was carried out during the period 2004-2017 in Rodna Mountains National Park, the second national park in the country, with an area of 47.202 ha. The importance of this protected area is due both to the geology and geomorphology of the mountains and to the presence of many species of fauna and flora, endemites and glacial relics. The Rodna Mountains, which show the highest altitudes in the Eastem Carpathians (Pietrosu Peak - 2.303 m, Inău Peak 2.279 m, Inăuţ Peak 2.222 m), are located in the northem part of Romania. Being included in the Nordic group, also known as the Carpathians of Maramureş and Bucovina, these mountains dominate the landscape, with the highest levei differences in the Maramureş Depression, located to the north.

    Fighting Corruption with Con Tricks: Romania's Assault On

    FIGHTING CORRUPTION WITH CON TRICKS: ROMANIA’S ASSAULT ON THE RULE OF LAW David Clark FIGHTING CORRUPTION WITH CON TRICKS FIGHTING CORRUPTION WITH CON TRICKS: ROMANIA’S ASSAULT ON THE RULE OF LAW 2 FIGHTING CORRUPTION WITH CON TRICKS Executive Summary Democracy in Europe is facing its greatest challenge since the fall of the Berlin Wall. The threat comes not only from the rise of political movements that openly reject liberal democratic values, including the governing parties of Hungary and Poland, but also from the risk of creeping authoritarianism caused by a gradual decline in standards of governance and the weakening of important democratic underpinnings, such as the rule of law. Romania is a country of particular concern. Although it has earned international praise for its recent efforts to stamp out corruption, a detailed examination of Romania’s anti-corruption activities shows that they often provide convenient cover for acts of political score settling and serious human rights violations. The methods used show a considerable degree of continuity with the practices and attitudes of the communist era. The strong correlation between those targeted for prosecution and the interests of those in power is indicative of politicised justice. Cases have often been accompanied by campaigns of public vilification designed to maximise their political impact. Far from being above politics, Romania’s National Anti-corruption Directorate (DNA) is an active participant in its partisan struggles. Although the rule of law requires the justice system to work independently of government, there is clear evidence of collusion between prosecutors and the executive in Romania.

    Dancing Through the City and Beyond: Lives, Movements and Performances in a Romanian Urban Folk Ensemble

    Dancing through the city and beyond: Lives, movements and performances in a Romanian urban folk ensemble Submitted to University College London (UCL) School of Slavonic and East European Studies In fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) By Elizabeth Sara Mellish 2013 1 I, Elizabeth Sara Mellish, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed: 2 Abstract This thesis investigates the lives, movements and performances of dancers in a Romanian urban folk ensemble from an anthropological perspective. Drawing on an extended period of fieldwork in the Romanian city of Timi şoara, it gives an inside view of participation in organised cultural performances involving a local way of moving, in an area with an on-going interest in local and regional identity. It proposes that twenty- first century regional identities in southeastern Europe and beyond, can be manifested through participation in performances of local dance, music and song and by doing so, it reveals that the experiences of dancers has the potential to uncover deeper understandings of contemporary socio-political changes. This micro-study of collective behaviour, dance knowledge acquisition and performance training of ensemble dancers in Timi şoara enhances the understanding of the culture of dance and dancers within similar ensembles and dance groups in other locations. Through an investigation of the micro aspects of dancers’ lives, both on stage in the front region, and off stage in the back region, it explores connections between local dance performances, their participants, and locality and the city.
  • Judecatoria Ilia 1848-1968

    Judecatoria Ilia 1848-1968

    JUDECĂTORIA ILIA P R E F A Ţ Ă Istoricul fondurilor judecătoreşti din Transilvania, după 1848, cuprinde date referitoare la evoluţia organizării judecătoreşti în anii dualismului austro-ungar (1867- 1918) şi de după Unirea din 1918, corespunzători epocilor modernă şi, respectiv, contemporană. Anterior anului 1867, în Transilvania, pe lângă reforma administrativă, în anul 1854, are loc şi o reformă a justiţiei în care Codul civil austriac din 1853 va sta la baza procedurilor de judecată de pe teritoriul Marelui Principat al Transilvaniei. Astfel că, pe lângă Prefectura Orăştie va funcţiona Tribunalul ţinutal Orăştie în calitate de curte judecătorească de primă instanţă, în timp ce pentru cele nouă preturi câte avea Prefectura Orăştie (Hălmagiu, Baia de Criş, Ilia, Şoimuş, Deva, Haţeg, Pui, Orăştie şi Dobra) se stabilise un număr de patru tribunale de cercetare. Important de reţinut este faptul că, dacă până la 1867, organizarea judecătorească din Transilvania se baza pe codurile de legi austriece, după 1867, instanţele de judecată au fost rapid adaptate la noile condiţii izvorâte din încheierea pactului dualist austro- ungar. În acest context instanţele de judecată obişnuite, care au creat fondurile documentare, au fost: judecătoriile de plasă, tribunalele de comitate, tablele judecătoreşti (câte una pentru mai multe comitate), Curtea de al III-lea grad şi Curia (una singură ca instanţă supremă la Budapesta). Judecătoriile de plasă aveau competenţă în materie civilă şi comercială, pentru cauze ce nu depăşeau valoarea de 300 florini, iar în materie penală soluţionau cea mai mare parte a contravenţiilor, putând face şi instrucţie penală. Legea IV din 1869 prevedea organizarea corpului judecătoresc, menţionând că judecătorii fiind independenţi şi inamovibili erau subordonaţi numai „legii şi cutumei”.

    Paleozoic Tectonostratigraphic Development and Paleogeography of Brunovistulian Terrane and Comparison with Other Terranes at the SE Margin of Baltica-Laurussia

    Journal of the Czech Geological Society 47/34(2002) 81 Late Proterozoic Paleozoic Tectonostratigraphic Development and Paleogeography of Brunovistulian Terrane and Comparison with Other Terranes at the SE Margin of Baltica-Laurussia Svrchnoproterozoický paleozoický tektonostratigrafický vývoj a paleogeografie brunovistulického teránu a srovnání s dalími terány na JV okraji Baltiky-Laurusie (9 figs, 2 tabs) JIØÍ KALVODA1 ROSTISLAV MELICHAR2 ONDØEJ BÁBEK3 JAROMÍR LEICHMANN4 1 Department of Geology and Paleontology, Kotláøská 2, 61137 Brno, [email protected] 2 Department of Geology and Paleontology, Kotláøská 2, 61137 Brno, [email protected] 3 Department of Geology, Tø. Svobody 26, 771 46 Olomouc; [email protected] 4 Department of Geology and Paleontology, Kotláøská 2, 61137 Brno, [email protected] There are close similarities between the Brunovistulian Terrane and the Istanbul Zone both in the Neoproterozoic and Paleozoic. The geological structure, lithology and geochronology of the Cadomian Brunovistulicum show a broad fit with the crystalline basement of the Istanbul Zone. Their Gondwana or Baltica affinity is still poorly constrained and remains a matter of discussion. The Vendian and Cam- brian sequences recognized in the central Malopolska, Brunovistulian and Moesian terranes correlate well with the Scythian Platform. In the Istanbul Zone the presence of pre-Ordovician sedimentary sequences has not been confirmed and may only be anticipated. In Paleozoic the best fit was attained in the DevonianCarboniferous. The sedimentary record in the Zonguldak and Istanbul terranes correlates closely to the Moravian Karst and Ludmírov facies developments of the Brunovistulian Terrane. This correlation is reinforced by the good fit of the main Variscan deformation phases attributed in both the Brunovistulian Terrane and the Istanbul Zone to the late Viseanearly Namurian and Westphalian-Stephanian intervals.
