This study aims to analyze employees' physical and mental workload in the legal and business development division and look for factors that affect the workload of the two divisions. The research methods used are cardiovascular load, NASA-TLX, and the Fishbone diagram. The results showed that one employee from the legal division experienced physical exhaustion. In the mental workload study, two people experienced a high mental workload, while five experienced a very high one. The fishbone diagram analysis reveals several factors, such as unresponsive counterparts and conflicts of interest, and in the legal division, such as work patterns that are constantly changing and fast and coordinating company and divisional compliance. The conclusion is that companies should periodically measure mental workload.

Media Coverage and the Incidence of Financial Restatements in Taiwan
Authors: Ko Shiu-Ming , Lin Kuo-Hao , Wang Tsung-Li , Nguyen Thi Bao Ngoc
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This study investigates the impact of media coverage on the incidence of financial restatements by testing two competing hypotheses: the media monitoring hypothesis and the media pressure hypothesis. The media monitoring hypothesis suggests a negative relationship between media coverage and financial restatements, as media acts as an external monitor, improving the quality of financial reporting. The media pressure hypothesis posits a positive relationship, as media coverage can induce short-term performance pressure on managers, leading to opportunistic earnings manipulation and restatements. Analyzing a sample of Taiwan-listed companies from 2000 to 2021, our overall findings support for the media pressure hypothesis, indicating that higher media coverage increases the likelihood of financial restatements. Further results suggest that the positive impact of media coverage on restatements is mitigated by the presence of foreign institutional investors acting as substitution governance monitors. We also show that the positive impact of media coverage on restatements is more evident among firms with high coverage of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, serving as a complementary mechanism to amplify the media-driven short-term performance pressure on managers. This study expands our knowledge of financial restatements and underscores the significance of acknowledging the role of media in short-term market pressure and the quality of financial reporting.

MASS CONSCIOUSNESS AND TRADITIONALISM: POSSIBILITIES OF ANALYSIS
Authors: Svoboda Natalya F. , Vorobeva Olga B.
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this work is to identify the features of mass consciousness in the aspect of traditionalism, which allows us to draw analogies of the content of mass consciousness of various historical periods. Mass consciousness is interpreted as one of the essential factors infl uencing the preservation of the manifestations of
traditionalism. The connection between the consciousness of the masses of traditional society and the society of the present time is noted not as a paradox, but as a regularity. The history of people is an activity aimed at adapting to social reality, to the specifi cs of social existence. In this provision, something fundamental is noted not only
in the approach to any historical epoch, but also in the approach to the study of the activity of the carrier of mass consciousness in any historical epoch. Functional aspects (inherited ideological and thinking schemes) of mass consciousness are clarifi ed and concretized taking into account the social context. The mass consciousness of both
traditional and modern society orients and directs people within the boundaries of their individual and group actions, reproducing traditional (archaic) norms, values, attitudes and at the same time producing potential changes in society. These are the reference ways of thinking, perception and reaction, transmitted from generation to generation
with the help of signs, symbols, myths, stereotypes. These include: the customs of everyday life; the Absolutization of Good and Evil; the syncretism of the triad individual — society — culture; the division of the world into permissible and forbidden; the preservation of the image of the motherland (home) unchanged; ideas about truth — truth and justice. Such constants of mass consciousness ensure not only adaptation to the system of norms and values accepted in a given society, but also the preservation of this system without entering into a confl ict relationship with it to develop new norms and values corresponding to changing conditions and circumstances. In conclusion,
methodological principles are recommended that can be used in the study of mass consciousness at any stage of the development of society.
Establishing the identity of persons
Authors: Ene Ramona-Madalina
Published: August 2023

Establishing the identity of persons is a predominant police method with a preventive character, intended to combat both possible crimes, but also to discover delinquents. Establishing the identity involves checking the documents provided with a photo of both Romanian citizens and foreigners who enter our country or are in transit. More and more often, the identity of people is established when crossing state borders, thus the state of danger can be removed. We can say that the procedure of establishing the identity is a measure that the judicial bodies resort to, and with the help of witnesses or victims, they establish the identity of people with the help of technical methods. Throughout life, both the Romanian Constitution and the Criminal Code have tried to diversify and improve identification methods, to be as simple as possible and to reach the best possible result in the shortest possible time with the aim of reducing the criminal phenomenon . In the theme we chose to write the establishment of the identity of the persons, the stages of this process, the persons subject to identification, but also the circumstances in which this process is carried out. We will detail the cases in which establishing identification is possible and under what conditions, but especially the presentation of the 3 cases through which establishing identity is possible, establishing identity through portrait photography, through voice signals, but not least through external signals.

Rhetoric in Sen. “Sonny” Angara’s Speech During MPSPC’s Silver (25th) Charter Anniversary
Authors: Fagsao Jonnelle D.
Published: August 2023

Communication between a speaker and an audience occurs through speech. The technique of convincing the audience to believe what the speaker says is crucial in a persuasive speech. However, in the absence of a powerful speech, admirable methods of persuasion fall short of satisfying the audience. A speaker should therefore employ a balanced speech delivery strategy in his or her persuasive speech. The MPSPC’s 25th Charter Anniversary guest speaker, Senator Sonny Angara, delivered a speech to mark the occasion. The most important rhetorical appeal in Angara’s speech is emotional appeal (pathos), however he uses a range of rhetorical evidence. It was found that Senator Angara tried to increase the impact of his speech by using effective speech elements to clarify some of his points. In order to deliver a great speech, he uses narrative, good posture and body language, an appropriate tone of voice, and pauses.
An Overview of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Vaccine Development
Authors: Hudu Shuaibu , Saeed Mohammed
Published: August 2023

Respiratory viral diseases constitute significant global health burdens, bringing about a huge number of hospitalizations every year. Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is the main cause of severe lower respiratory tract diseases in under-five children and adults above 65 years of age. RSV associated infection can present with symptoms similar to that of the common cold and in severe cases, can present as pneumonia or bronchitis, while in complicated cases, they may lead to extrapulmonary consequences in the brain and other tissues and organs RSV causes a respiratory tract infection that affects 64 million people per year worldwide. It hospitalizes 3 million children under 5 years old and approximately 336,000 older adults annually. Vaccination could signicantly relieve the burden of RSV disease. There are no authorized vaccines to forestall RSV diseases, and the main prophylaxis at present is the monoclonal antibody palivizumab. However, its use is restricted to high-risk individuals, it is also very expensive and moderately effective, and hence the need to explore other vaccine options that will be more effective, safe, and affordable and therapeutics for infants and high-risk populations like health care workers. Anatomic understanding of antigenicity is a critical step in the pathway towards the development of a structure-based vaccine; a supersite specific strategy will be advantageous as we can focus on the target with utmost accuracy hence the aim of this review.

Analysis of Image Encryption and Decryption Algorithm based on Rubik’s Cube Principle
Authors: Mane Vijay , Rathod Rohan
Published: August 2023

Technology is evolving today more quickly than could have been anticipated. The benefits of these quick adjustments haven't lessened worries about data security. The Rubik's cube approach is used in the article to build security measures for images. Here, the image is encrypted using XOR operations and pixel shuffles, and it is decrypted in a similar manner. Using a key, the XOR operator is used to odd rows and columns of a photograph in order to muddle the relationship between genuine and encrypted images. The same key is reversed and used to align even picture rows and columns. And we discovered that it is a lot safer approach for encryption of images. This technology makes it possible to follow a good process for guaranteeing the security of the image files, which are transmitted practically every second. The algorithm has been tested on a variety of photo types, and the results are shown.
A contribuição das três forças sociais para a construção de mercados agroalimentares
Authors: Moritz Mariana Oliveira , Birochi Renê , Gonçalves Junior Oswaldo
Published: August 2023

Este artigo apresenta uma discussão teórica sobre a construção de mercados sob o aporte da Nova Sociologia Econômica. Iniciamos com uma problematização sobre as insuficiências da economia neoclássica para compreender esse fenômeno. Destacamos novas oportunidades de investigação por meio do referencial teórico de Jens Beckert (2010), sobre as três forças sociais: redes sociais, instituições e estruturas cognitivas. A título de ilustração serão discutidas algumas características dos mercados brasileiros de queijo artesanal de leite cru. Por fim, apresentamos uma síntese dessa discussão, destacando algumas controvérsias identificadas: os efeitos da institucionalização do consumo de queijo de leite pasteurizado, gerados pelas regras fitossanitárias vigentes; a presença de práticas específicas de mercados de nicho, gosto e distinção, com efeitos na elevação dos preços do produto; a adaptação de agricultores familiares às novas normas, com a consequente exclusão do mercado de certos grupos de agricultores; a insuficiência do Estado como regulador de interesses divergentes entre os agricultores familiares e produtores industriais.

Authors: De Lima Cícero Francisco , Nunes Erivelton de Souza , Xavier Lima Filipe Augusto
Published: August 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo verificar os condicionantes do diferencial de rendimentos entre as famílias pluriativas, agrícolas e não agrícolas no meio rural brasileiro. Foram utilizados, como base, os microdados da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios (PNAD) de 2014, por meio do método não paramétrico de Ñopo (2008). Os resultados evidenciaram que as famílias pluriativas ganham aproximadamente 64% a mais do que as famílias agrícolas e cerca de 6% a menos do que as famílias não agrícolas. Os resultados econométricos reforçaram a existência de disparidades de rendimentos em benefício das famílias pluriativas (0,1169 Lnw) em relação às famílias agrícolas, e diferenciais de renda negativo (-0,0647 Lnw) para a pluriatividade, comparados à atividade não agrícola.

Inferência de paleosuperfícies com uso de Modelagem Digital do Terreno no estado do Paraná (Brasil)
Authors: Silveira Ricardo Michael Pinheiro , Taborda da Silveira Claudinei
Published: August 2023

No contexto da aplicação da análise digital do relevo para a interpretação morfocronológica, este estudo apresenta um método proposto para a identificação e mapeamento de paleosuperfícies amparado exclusivamente por Modelo Digital do Terreno (MDT) e parâmetros geomorfométricos. Considerou-se que as maiores elevações residuais num entorno predefinido pela relação têmporo-espacial indicam os níveis de paleosuperfícies e que essas, por sua vez, quando tangenciadas à superfície atual em porções planas, caracterizam remanescentes ou níveis de antigos terraços. A área de estudo contemplou o estado do Paraná, cuja avaliação dos resultados considerou trabalhos prévios de datações geocronológicas, interpretações evolutivas e mensurações de taxas de denudação de longo termo. Os resultados evidenciaram taxas médias de denudação e estimativa da idade de topos e remanescentes erosivos para cada contexto geomorfológico da área de estudo.
Circuito espacial produtivo do setor sucroenergético: breve caracterização
Authors: Santos Henrique Faria dos
Published: August 2023

O objetivo do presente artigo é contribuir com uma breve caracterização do circuito espacial produtivo do setor sucroenergético. O conceito de circuito espacial produtivo tem sido bastante utilizado em estudos da Geografia e áreas afins para analisar as relações entre atividades econômicas e o espaço geográfico, tendo como método norteador a identificação dos agentes, lugares e os fluxos materiais e imateriais que compõem as várias etapas de concepção de um bem ou serviço. Nesse sentido, com o auxílio da revisão bibliográfica, da sistematização de dados estatísticos sobre a produção canavieira no Brasil e visitas técnicas em usinas, foi possível identificar e relacionar tais elementos que caracterizam o circuito espacial produtivo do setor sucroenergético e, assim, compreender de forma mais detalhada as condições geográficas essenciais para a localização e operação dos principais agentes desta atividade do agronegócio.

“…and Gypsies get many a beating…”: On the Significance of Radu Jude’s Aferim!
Authors: Gorzo Andrei , Lazăr Veronica
Published: August 2023

The article offers an in-depth analysis of Radu Jude’s 2015 film Aferim!. It considers the film as a revisionist take on the Romanian tradition of historical cinema. It discusses Aferim!’s originality as a depiction of the origins of contemporary Romanian anti-Roma racism. It analyzes Jude’s artistic strategies—for instance, his lavish and playful deployment of literary and cinematic quotation. The paper also addresses the film’s reception in Romania. It goes on to discuss two stage productions in which Jude has further explored issues of racism.
Postumanismul și poezia română contemporană
Authors: Lupașcu Emanuel
Published: August 2023

The present study aims to map the links between posthumanist theory and contemporary Romanian poetry, as well as the socio-political, economic and philosophical contexts that have made possible the emergence of a “new sensibility”, since the generation 2000 exhausts its transitive, violent-existential poetics, focused on radically biographical writing. In order to understand the dynamics of posthuman coordinates in contemporary poetry, I will analyse the two poetic trends that have evolved from a focus on the posthuman environment and from close links with digital culture to an assumed critical perspective on the exclusionary forms of humanism. My analysis is meant to highlight the posthumanist (empathetic and supportive) viewpoint, in the volumes that address identity issues both in relation to the tradition of dehumanization exercised by the canonical, white, male and heteronormative man, but also in relation to the new digital existence, and the eco direction, concerned with the ecological crisis, not just the political or social one. My interpretation approaches the way in which the “new sensibility” functions as a legitimizing principle for the posthuman/ist collective, in solidarity with marginalized, sexualized or racialized communities.
Radu Jude’s Montage Experiments with Documents of Oppression and Mass Murder
Authors: Gorzo Andrei , Lazăr Veronica
Published: August 2023

The article discusses critically the following films—short and feature-length—by Radu Jude: The Dead Nation (2017), The Marshal’s Two Executions (2018), Punish and Discipline (2019), Uppercase Print (2020), The Exit of the Trains (2020), Caricaturana (2021), Memories from the Eastern Front (2021), and The Potemkinists (2022). In four of them—The Dead Nation, The Marshal’s Two Executions, The Exit of the Trains and Memories from the Eastern Front (the last two co-directed with historian Adrian Cioflâncă)—Jude cinematically curates Holocaustrelated archives, exposing Romanian antisemitic atrocities. Uppercase Print and Punish and Discipline explore state apparatuses of repression from other periods in Romanian history, while The Marshal’s Two Executions and The Potemkinists interrogate the relation between art and historical memory. A number of these films work by juxaposing two different sets of documents, using one set to tease out a narrative that the other set represses. Jude himself has described these works “as timid explorations” into the possibilities of montage (possibilities that the New Romanian Cinema of the 2000s had largely neglected), presided over by the spirit of Sergei Eisenstein. That spirit is explicitly (and playfully) conjured in Caricaturana and The Potemkinists
William James: Meseria de filosof
Authors: Adămuț Anton
Published: August 2023

This year marked the 180th anniversary of the birth of William James and the 112th anniversary of his death. James is the father of American psychology, founded the philosophical school of pragmatism and he is also the founder of functional psychology. What always struck James was the considerable distance that separates the rationalist spirit, defined as an instrument of logical operations, from reality. Hence the unforgiving and ironic criticism made towards the philosophies absorbed by forms and methods and that forget what they want at the end of the research. James qualifies such philosophies as indulging in a kind of verbal “sport” in which they put into circulation words through other words, when the error is greater if you forget the vocabulary of a colleague than if you neglect the real. A few considerations about all this constitute the content of the following study.
Virtus Romana Rediviva: Latinitatea naționalismului ardelean între identitate națională, strategie politică și loialitate dinastică
Authors: Cosma Valer Simion
Published: August 2023

his article discusses the ways in which the elites of Transylvanian Romanians living in the Habsburg Empire deployed claims to Roman heritage as both a key ingredient of nation building processes as well as a political instrument to secure political rights in a state in which Roman heritage enjoyed high symbolic value. Specifically, the article shows that several generations of intellectuals initially institutionalized in the Uniate (Greek-Catholic) Church, a politically well-situated institution, emphasized Romanians’ Roman (rather than Dacian) heritage to define the boundaries of the nation. Furthermore, they used the same ethnogenesis story to highlight Romanians’ prestigious status in the geocultural hierarchies of the empire following centuries of marginalization formulated in “civilizational” terms. At the same time, the choice for the Roman heritage also made sense from the perspective of political mobilization strategies to claim political rights denied to Romanians by the imperial status quo while expressing loyalty to the same imperial state itself until the moment it collapsed in the fall of 2018. In short, claims to Roman heritage were instrumentalized to serve nation building, political emancipation, and dynastic loyalty.

Un Bildungsroman epistolar
Authors: Varga Dragoș
Published: August 2023

The present article focuses on one of the most interesting Romanian literary epistolary, An Epistolary Novel, by I. Negoițescu and Radu Stanca, both members of Literary Circle of Sibiu. The re-editing of the correspondence of the two writers completes, where possible, the collection of letters, but also passages censored in the first edition. It also offers an interesting research core for Romanian literary studies from the perspective of so-called memory studies and life writing. The epistolary „novel” is, in fact, a „bildungsroman,” as Negoițescu characterized it, and also a fresco of the Romanian literary life from 1943 until 1961, with the related cancans, with the little mischief and chicanery, with the obstacles to be overcome in the editorial and the artistic world.
La voix naturaliste des écrivains-traducteurs : le cas de Eduardo de Barros Lobo
Authors: Vieira Célia , Guerra Santos Inês
Published: August 2023

In the context of naturalist transfers, we propose to reflect on the way in which the translation of Zola’s works has acted on the translator-writer who, by appropriating the translated text, pursues the reception of Zola’s work in the work that he himself will later sign as author. More precisely, we start from the analysis of the bibliography of one of the first translators of Zola in Portugal, Eduardo de Barros Lobo, to place the literary translation in a vast process of reception and metamorphosis of the naturalist text. We conclude that the work of Eduardo de Barros Lobo echoes the diversity of naturalist literature and the coexistence of several literary canons in the context of the globalization of naturalism.
O cercetare asupra fitonimelor românești create cu ajutorul termenului de origine latină «iarbă» (I)

Botanical popular terminology has primarily a practical value, designating, distinguishing and categorizing elements of the plant kingdom within the given natural reign, but also has a high theoretical significance, especially for linguists, both by the ethimons to which they send back and by the metaphorical meanings the phytonims mostly have.
Revisiting the Uses of Nostalgia in Post-socialist Cinema: Radu Jude’s Cinema and Dialectical Images
Authors: Popa Bogdan
Published: August 2023

Scholars of Romanian cinema (Parvulescu & Turcuș 2021) explored the topic of nostalgia in post-socialism, but they stopped short of analyzing why directors such as Radu Jude refuse to draw on a melancholic view of the past. Similarly, film critics (Gorzo & Lazăr 2022a; Ferencz-Flatz 2017) analyzed the importance of the Jude’s attunement to contemporary cultural forms, but they did not engage with his reluctance to discuss positive aspects of Romanian state socialism. By putting two apparent opposite readings of Radu Jude’s films in conversation, this article investigates Jude’s philosophical technique which I conceptualize as “the construction of a dialectical image”. I draw on films such as I do not care if we go down in history as barbarians (2018), Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn (2021) and the short film The Potemkinists (2021) to distinguish between a dialectical and a nostalgic use of the socialist past. I concentrate on three main topics: Jude’s interest in capturing the materiality of the present, which he borrows from Siegfried Kracauer’s cinematic materialism; the differences between Walter Benjamin’s dialectics and Jude’s cinema; and the use of comedy in The Potemkinists. My article adds to previous work on Jude’s cinema (Parvulescu & Turcuș 2021; Gorzo & Lazăr 2022; Ferencz-Flatz 2018) a discussion about the uses of nostalgia in Romanian film, a subject that has not been discussed in relation to experimental and avantgarde productions.

Overview of Penitence Law in the Kingdom of Bohemia in the Middle Ages
Authors: Krafl Pavel
Published: August 2023

In the study, the author focuses on penitence law in the medieval Kingdom of Bohemia, and specifically on the territory of the Prague ecclesiastical province, i.e. in the Prague and Olomouc dioceses. Confession also became the subject of normative regulation in medieval ecclesiastical law, taking on the character of a legal institution. The decree Omnis utiusque sexus, promulgated at the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215, made it compulsory for each resident in a parish to make a confession to his or her parish priest once a year. The provisions of the conciliar decree were taken into the papal code Liber extra in 1234. Confession thus became an institution of canon law. Confession was regulated more closely at ecclesiastical province and diocese level by provincial and diocesan statutes, the most important of these being the provincial statutes of Arnošt of Pardubice from 1349. A certain set of sins was reserved for the diocesan bishop or the Pope to absolve. Numerous manuals for administering the Sacrament of Penance (summae confessorum, poenitentiale) were used for the theoretical instruction and practical needs of confessors. The most widespread in the Czech lands were Summa de casibus poenitentiae by Raymond of Peñafort and Summa Pisana by Bartholomaeus de Sancto Concordio. Several such penitentials were also created in Bohemia, written by Bishop Robert of Olomouc, Hermann of Prague, Štěpán of Roudnice, Sander Rambow, Matthew of Cracow, Štěpán of Kolín, and Václav of Dráchov.
Quantität des Inputs – eine ausschlaggebende Voraussetzung im Spracherwerb?
Authors: Ginghină Elena
Published: August 2023

Access to language is a crucial factor in language acquisition, as the learner requires the necessary input to learn a new language. However, there is a question about whether the quantity of exposure to the target language is the key factor for a successful language acquisition. This study examines 80 students, with 10 students from each year from 5th to 12th grade, at a German high school in Romania. The students start learning the German language in kindergarten, meaning that they have their first contact with the language at the age of three, which could correspond to a gradual first language acquisition. They continue their language learning intensively in school, being exposed to at least five hours of German language every day. However, even after twelve years, their level of language proficiency does not reach the expected level of a near-native speaker. They conspicuously search for words and use an unusual sentence structure when they need to engage in free conversation. This study aims to answer the question of why, even after so many years of daily exposure to the German language, the students are not able to approach a near-native level, when according to the Goethe Institute, only 600 class hours of 60 minutes each would be necessary to reach the C1 level.
Redefiniri ale feminității și viziuni feministe în poezia recentă din România și Rusia
Authors: Munteanu Mihaela
Published: August 2023

This paper comparatively analyses the feminist problematic in the texts of four poets, two of them belonging to Romanian contemporary literature and the other two to Russian literature: Miruna Vlada – Elena Vlădăreanu and Oksiana Vasiakina – Anastasia Vekșina. The analysis starts from the ideas of the theorist Julia Kristeva, who studies female identity from the point of view of semiotics, anthropology and psychology. I will follow the predominant theme in the works of the aforementioned poets, feminist poets by self-definition and through their writings: the feminine outlook in the context of war, marriage, motherhood, the manifestation and survival of this perspective, observing the ideational and stylistic similarities and differences in the creations of the aforementioned poets. The aim of the paper is to uncover the universality of the female experience in contexts that may undermine it.
Reinventarea ca scriitor american a lui Norman Manea
Authors: Bolba Denisa-Corina
Published: August 2023

The present research aims to bring into discussion the complex figure of Norman Manea, representative of the studies concerned with the analysis of the globalization strategies of Romanian literature. Relevant in this sense is the process of “reinvention” of a Romanian writer in an American context, through which one can understand the efforts of cultural and literary transplantation, of a constant, non-euphoric revisionism – according to Claudiu Turcuș’s formula –, as an alternative to the necessary political scale of aesthetics, but also the confrontation of clichés coming from the American continent. Throughout this endeavor, attention will be paid to the manner in which Romanian literature allows itself to be shaped, from its (semi)peripheral position, by the effects of a quintessentially transnational culture, such as the American one. What does the integration of Norman Manea entail, formed as an identity in the Eastern European context and as a survivor of some totalitarian regimes, how much of this identity is “saved” or diminished to ensure integration, how is a successful dialogue between the margin and the center formed, remain pillar questions for a profitable discussion for current Romanian studies, concerned with the status of Romanian literature as world literature. Norman Manea’s writings thus facilitate the updating of other themes, in addition to that of dislocation and relocation that migration produces: the contrast between the representation of communism in Eastern European prose and the representations of the West or the international reception of contemporary Romanian literature, subjects through which we aspire to overcome the proposed framework discussion.
Matei Vișniec. Spațiul românesc al dramaturgiei postdecembriste – teatrul postdramatic
Authors: Toloargă Ioana
Published: August 2023

The present paper proposes the analysis of the dramatic work of Matei Vișniec – a Romanian poet and prose writer, built and validated by the French center as an internationally exportable playwriter, by following the aesthetic-political relationship. I question, above all, the reasons why the parabolic formula is the favorite in the author’s dramaturgy – its causes and effects, in relation to the ideological level and the thematization of the trauma of the communist (/totalitarian) regime. The thesis of my article is that, behind the parable (which implies a form of mediation) and the discursive metaphorism, respectively an apparent aesthetic gratuity, there is a political thesis that can be reinterpreted, reframed by both target audiences: Eastern and Western. Thus, the playwright built at the center and imported by the Romanian periphery accumulates symbolic capital from both territories, defined as a successful as a transnational author.

These days, Social Networking Sites (SNS) have become the primary source of communication between individuals. The main focus of this study is to determine the impact of social networking sites on the academic performance of youth. A sample of 309 youth was selected, and the primary data was collected through the questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS. The results were exciting; the results show that SNS is affecting the student’s academic performance. The study further confirmed that most respondents visit the SNS daily for an average of half an hour to more than 3 hours. The study further reveals that the number of active friends increases the youths’ academic performance. Since the study confirmed that the usage had affected children's academic performance, there is an urgent need for counseling and advice to the youths regarding the dangers of addiction to SNS the school authorities and parents. The other factor is that students' time on SNS affects their academic performance, and they cannot finish the portion within the assigned time.
