There is a recurrent debate in the scholarly literature on interpreting studies: are interpreters made or born? While classical interpreting schools state that great interpreters are born and that formation and development is of a secondary importance, the newest publications on this topic place a much greater stress on the formation and development of interpreting abilities, skills, and competences. The latest results also challenge several ideas and stereotypes concerning the personality and attitudes of interpreters. This article outlines the position and situation regarding Hungarian interpreters in Romania with a special regard to the legal framework, and to the present state of professional training. The study also discusses why interpreters of Hungarian are much more likely to be born in Romania, and not made, (a factor that hinders the professionalization of Hungarian INTERPRETERS IN 2OMANIA %QUALLY SIGNIlCANT ARE THE LEGISLATIVE LOOPHOLES which enable untrained individuals to perform interpreting activities (even ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES THE RESULT OF WHICH IS A SIGNIlCANTLY POORER IMAGE OF THE PROFESSION AND A LOWERING OF THE QUALITY OF WORK IT PRODUCES 7E ALSO give a short overview of the translation and interpreting programmes.

Building on sustainability performance in universities, this study aimed to: Identify the procedures deployed by universities to measure sustainability; detect the strengths and weaknesses of the Spanish university system (SUS) sustainability practice; analyse the SUS contributions to sustainability-related Research, Development and Innovation (R&D+I); and assess the efficacy of such practices and procedures as reported in the literature. The indicators of scientific activity were defined by applying scientometric techniques to analyse the journal (Web of Science) and European project (CORDIS) databases, along with reports issued by national institutions. The findings showed that measuring sustainability in the SUS is a very recent endeavour and that one of the strengths is the university community’s engagement with the ideal.

  • Competition Between Public and Private Universities
    Working paper 04-64 Departamento de Economía Economics Series 23 Universidad Carlos III de Madrid November 2004 Calle Madrid, 126 28903 Getafe (Spain) Fax (34) 91 624 9875 COMPETITION BETWEEN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES: QUALITY, PRICES AND EXAMS * Laura Romero1 and Elena del Rey2 Abstract The rapid growth of private higher education in response to high demand is a recent phenomenon in most European countries. This paper provides a theoretical model of the higher education market in which a public and a private university compete for students in the presence of borrowing constraints. We find that there exists a unique equilibrium in which the public institution is of higher quality than the private institution. This result supports the observation across many European countries that public universities have usually higher quality and admission standards than their private competitors.

Students pay little or no tuition and public institutions usually determine access to higher education by means of selective exams.

    Acta Mineralogica-Petrographica, Szeged 2004, Vol. 45/1, pp. 5-20 1 SHORT HISTORY OF TEACHING MINERALOGY AT THE EÖTVÖS LORÁND UNIVERSITY, BUDAPEST 1 2 1 GY. BUDA , G. PAPP , T. G. WEISZBURG Megjegyzés: Kérem a teljes neveket! 1 Department of Mineralogy, Eötvös Loránd University, H-1117 Budapest, Pázmány Péter sétány 1/C, Hungary 2 Department of Mineralogy and Petrology, Hungarian Natural History Museum, H-1431Budapest. Pf.:137, Hungary e-mail: [email protected] We intend to overview the 230-year history of organised teaching of mineralogy at the Eötvös Loránd University. The University was founded in 1635. Students could learn certain elements of mineralogy already in the early period of the University within the frame of physics. Mineralogy, as an independent subject, has been part of the curriculum since 1774, the year when the Department of Natural History was founded. The separate Department of Mineralogy was established in 1849. While trying to divide the long historical span into periods, no unique concept appropriate in every respect was found, so changes of institutional structure, as well as the prominent mineralogy-related personalities are used as guidelines. For helping the reader not experienced in historical and cultural development of that part of Central Europe, at some points we are giving also explanatory notes related to political, cultural and science history. EARLY PERIOD OF TEACHING MINERALOGICAL KNOWLEDGE the Jesuit Ratio Studiorum (1599). Mineralogy was not (MINERALOGY AS PART OF PHYSICS, 1635–1774) included directly in the curriculum, but in books of some In 1635, when Péter Pázmány, archbishop of Esztergom, professors (e.g.
