Willie Keeler
Authors: Spatz Lyle
Published: February 2025

Playing in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Willie Keeler is still considered one of baseball’s most accomplished batters in the history of the game. Wee Willie’s popular “Hit ‘em where they ain’t” explanation for his batting success has become part of baseball lore. He is known for his quick-thinking at the plate and for his record-setting forty-four-game hitting streak in 1897 that was not surpassed until Joe DiMaggio broke the record in 1941. In addition to being one of baseball’s most accomplished hitters, Keeler was an integral part of two memorable teams—the Baltimore Orioles of 1894-1897 and the Brooklyn Superbas of 1899-1900.

Willie Keeler: From the Playgrounds of Brooklyn to the Hall of Fame recounts the life of this talented yet often overlooked ballplayer. It follows Keeler from his birth in 1872 in Brooklyn to his death in 1923. His unique story includes a career that was almost evenly split between the rough and “dirty” National League of the 1890s and the new, more disciplined American League of the early twentieth century. Each part of this book examines a key stage of Keeler’s life and career: his childhood and teenage years; his career with the Baltimore Orioles; his years with the Brooklyn Superbas; his time with the New York Yankees; and his life after baseball.

Featuring several rare photographs, many of which have not been seen in more than a hundred years, Willie Keeler provides an in-depth look into the life of an undersized ballplayer who forged a big career. Baseball fans, scholars, and historians alike will find this book both informative and entertaining.
Sexual Content in Young Adult Literature
Authors: Gillis Bryan , Simpson Joanna
Published: February 2025

Though discussing sexual material in novels aimed at the young adult market may make some individuals blush, the authors of such fiction often seek to represent a very real component in the lives of many teens. Unfortunately, authentic and teen-relatable information on healthy adolescent sexuality is not readily available, and sex education classes have had a minimal effect on positive sexual identity development. Consequently, young adult literature that contains sexual elements can play a critical role in addressing the questions and concerns of teens.

In Sexual Content in Young Adult Fiction: Reading between the Sheets, Bryan Gillis and Joanna Simpson examine sexual material in canonical, historical, dystopian, romantic, and realistic contemporary fiction for teens. The authors begin with an exploration of sexual identity development and discuss the constructive influence that realistic representations of teen sexual behavior can have on that development. The authors provide a myriad of texts and examples that will help parents, teachers, and librarians better understand the positive role that sexual content in YA fiction can play in the socio-emotional and academic development of adolescents. The book concludes with an overview and analysis of censorship in the world of young adult fiction.

In addition to providing a survey of sexual content in young adult literature, this book can help inspire adults to facilitate effective and responsible discussions about young adult fiction that contains sexual material. Featuring a "novels cited" and "works cited" bibliography, Sexual Content in Young Adult Fiction is an important resource that parents and educators will find particularly valuable.
Enhancing Teaching and Learning in the 21st-Century Academic Library
Authors: Eden Bradford Lee
Published: February 2025

Libraries of all types have undergone significant developments in the last few decades. The rate of change in the academic library, a presence for decades now, has been increasing in the first decade of this century. It is no exaggeration to claim that it is undergoing a top to bottom redefinition.

In this second volume of the series, Creating the 21st-Century Academic Library, we explore the initiatives in student learning and training that are underway in our academic libraries. The 13 chapters range from librarians redesigning the space in the library in order to assume control of the campus bookstore to implementing a MOOC where the problems of providing material to potentially thousands of students taking an online course must somehow overcome copyright restrictions. A chapter describes how the iPad has become the chosen delivery mechanism for a rich array of resources that finally begin to reflect the educational potential of the digital world. Another chapter tells how a collaboration creates an audio archive to enrich the experiences of patrons and raise the visibility of the special collections unit on campus. Gamification plays a role in two chapters and active learning is featured in another that employs the technologies of interactive whiteboards, clickers, and wireless slates.

These approaches, employing new technologies and terminology, signal that we have begun a new era in the definition and design of the academic library. We can’t expect the redefined academic library to assume its final shape any time soon, if ever, but the transformation is well underway.

Student Dress Codes and the First Amendment
Authors: Fossey Richard , DeMitchell Todd A.
Published: February 2025

Students’ early morning decisions about what to wear to school have led many school districts into legal issues and policy challenges. Confederate belt buckles, exposed bellies, sagging pants, political statements, and social commentary have all been banned from schools, and these bans have often resulted in litigation by students who claim their constitutional right to free speech has been violated.

Student Dress Codes and the First Amendment: Legal Challenges and Policy Issues explores the legal issues that arise when a school prohibits various types of student attire. Through an analysis of major Supreme and federal court cases, this volume examines conflicts that arise when administrators juggle a student’s right to free speech with the need to maintain an environment conducive to learning.
Unlocking the Moviemaking Mind
Authors: Schoonmaker Michael , Wolf John M.
Published: February 2025

Have you ever had an idea for a book, a movie, or a TV show? Chances are that you’ve had many. Today’s students, who are coming of age in a world that is increasingly mediated by smartphones, pads, pods, apps, and the Internet, are even more likely to think of their lives and experiences in terms of stories. Unlocking the Moviemaking Mind explores how our innate abilities as storytellers can be used in the K-12 classroom to stimulate new approaches to learning. Relying on data collected during a multi-year research project in a variety of school settings, this book relies on story and synthesis to present tried and true methods of introducing media making practices in the classroom. Unlocking the Moviemaking Mind also offers strategies for overcoming individual and systematic barriers that educators and administrators are likely to encounter when incorporating storytelling into their curricula. Moreover, the book broaches topics that are especially germane to today’s students, including literacy, motivation, and experiential learning.

Leadership for Low-Performing Schools
Authors: Duke Daniel L.
Published: February 2025

No greater challenge faces our society than improving the educational opportunities for millions of young people trapped in chronically low-performing schools. Overcoming this challenge requires talented and dedicated school leaders whose knowledge and skills extend far beyond what is covered in conventional principal preparation programs.

This book draws on extensive research by the author and others on the actions needed to turn around low-performing schools. First, however, the book examines the personal qualities needed to undertake the turnaround process. Following chapters provide guidelines on diagnosing the school-based causes of low achievement and developing a school turnaround plan. The author focuses on the importance of continuous planning – a departure from standard practice. A major portion of the book is devoted to examples of first-order and second-order strategies for raising achievement. Specific recommendations for launching the turnaround process and sustaining gains beyond the first years of turnaround are provided. The concluding chapter addresses the role of school districts in supporting school-based turnaround efforts.
Developing Quantitative Literacy Skills in History and the Social Sciences
Authors: Craver Kathleen W.
Published: February 2025

History and social sciences educators have been charged with ensuring that our students are quantitatively literate. Being able to integrate research data in the form of graphs, charts, and tables and deconstruct quantitative evidence to address questions and solve problems is no longer the domain of mathematicians. Being quantitatively literate is considered an educational imperative in a data-drenched world that holds so many employment challenges. The internet contains a treasure trove of valid and reliable sources of quantitative data that history and social sciences teachers can easily use to satisfy the quantitative literacy requirements of the National Common Core Standards.

This book features 85 interesting and exciting multi-century and multicultural web sites that are accompanied by numerical critical thinking questions and activities. Teachers can pose the questions to their entire class or individually assign them. It also contains lists of best practices and examples for interpreting, visualizing, and displaying quantitative data. History and social sciences educators will find this book an indispensable tool for incorporating numerical literacy skills into their class activities and assignments.
Errors in Evidence-Based Decision Making
Authors: Janke Robert W. , Cooper Bruce S.
Published: February 2025

Existing research methods textbooks emphasize the mechanics of HOW to conduct research studies. However, many students fail to see WHY it is important to learn about research because they will never conduct research studies. These students do not become engaged in learning and believe that research courses and textbooks are useless. They do not see the need of developing “research literacy” to understand the applications and limitations of research to their daily lives. This book engages students with a nonmathematical presentation that includes real examples of the consequences of research errors in daily life. The organization facilitates learning with objectives, concepts, description of errors, best practices, and examples.

This is a research methods textbook for students who fear research textbooks. The diversity of topics in this book permits application to research methods courses in these academic fields: Economics, Education, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology. This should be the first book for all students to introduce research and develop “research literacy”.

The Gestalt of Leadership
Authors: Lorain Peter
Published: February 2025

The Gestalt of Leadership is both conceptual and practical. It is a resource for those aspiring to and preparing for administration, or for personal professional growth by incumbent administrators. This book will be helpful to anyone interested in education and in providing leadership to it. The overall intent is to support those educators who work to realize the mission: to educate all children so that they all may become thoughtful, independent, successful and happy adults, ones who make positive contributions to the wellbeing of their community, their country, and their world. This book contains several concepts, theories, and components of effective and exemplary leadership. It includes the characteristics required for that leadership: leaned and innate. It then provides real-life examples to illustrate each of those qualities.
The Pyramid Approach
Authors: Woodrow George
Published: February 2025

This book explains why virtually all children can achieve proficiency or higher. And it gives educators the tools to help them achieve those levels of learning.

The notion that schools are “waiting for Superman” or Wonder Woman to rescue them is at best a fantasy and at worst, damaging to schools and school systems that advance this type of flawed thinking. This is why in this book the reader will be encouraged to embrace the concept that only through building effective teams (collective instructional leadership) will schools begin to realize their stated goal—educate “all” students. It may take a village to raise children but it takes collective instructional leadership to educate them.

This book takes great care to ask the questions that policymakers, educators, parents, students and the larger community want answered:

Can you handle the truth?

Why is team leadership needed?

How do campuses improve their team dynamics?

What methods do high performing nations use to excel?

What strategies really work in high poverty schools?

Where do American schools rank on the rigor scale?

What is trust and how is it developed?

What are campus learning disabilities?

How do beliefs about human capacity affect student achievement levels?

What methods motivate students to work hard?

What do we really mean when we say, “All children can learn”?

The Pyramid Approach was designed by Dr. George Woodrow, Jr. for use by educators. The Pyramid is research-based; it aligns theory with professional practice. In addition, it strives to take what we know and provide a practical framework to effectively apply that same knowledge in ways that promotes student achievement. The Pyramid Approach calls attention to the need for a systematic framework that recognizes the interconnectedness among research methods.

Building Better Dictation Skills
Authors: Buonviri Nathan O.
Published: February 2025

Melodic dictation plays an important role in music theory classes, but instruction is often based on tradition rather than research. Dictation teachers and students do not just need more exercises and drills; they need to see deeper into the materials, consider how we connect to them, and practice wisely. Building Better Dictation Skills offers teachers and students the “why” and “how” of melodic dictation, through research-based exercises aimed at developing proactive musical listening. During dictation, students must actively involve themselves in the unfolding of an unfamiliar melody—using all of their musical skills in a concerted effort—to get into the composer’s mind and understand what is played. The author’s published research, on which this book is based, provides a level of insight unlikely to be discovered simply through drilling more melodies. Building Better Dictation Skills provides music educators and students with a concise, specific, and affordable resource that focuses on what they really need: dictation strategies aimed at learning beyond the “right answer.”
Hearing their Voices
Authors: Traille Kay
Published: February 2025

This book is about what teachers need to know before they teach history to students of color. It is a book about the ‘inside feel’ of these students and what they think and say history is for, based on research in the United States with reflections on the United Kingdom. It gives history teachers a better understanding of why culturally relevant pedagogy, inclusion and issues surrounding diversity are of crucial importance if we are to reach these students. We live in a world where many multicultural students think they have little connection with the histories, traditions and values in which they have grown up, some look toward groups who promise them a sense of belonging and ownership of created histories which clash with and threaten democratic societies. This book begins with the belief that it is important to understand how a subject, history, makes non-White students think and feel about themselves. At its center are assertions made by students of color who think learning history that is rich in aspects they can connect with culturally and personally, is important and necessary in gaining and holding their attention. Then I make suggestions of how we best communicate and set high expectations for these students, how as history teachers we use strategies to better engage these students, and redirect the unengaged. We need to make sure history educators provide necessary and appropriate scaffolding for students of colour to better process what they learn in history lessons, making sure they are engaged in higher-order thinking in an equitable safe environment where they see and know that their diversities are respected and valued.

Investigating the Nexus Between Prior Knowledge in Plane Geometry (I) and Senior High School Students’ Performance in Circle Theorem in Sefwi Wiawso Municipality
Authors: Suglo Kabinaa Enoch , Mohammed Issah , Asante Thomas , Mejira Abubakari
Published: February 2025

Aim: This study aimed to reveal the powerful role played by students’ background knowledge of Plane Geometry (I) in their learning of the circle theorem (Plane Geometry II).
Methods: The study employed a correlational design with a sample of 210 students selected from a population of 440. The sample members were chosen for the study using a systematic random sampling technique. The study measured students’ confidence levels in their prior knowledge of Plane Geometry (I) using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation). The study analyzed the relationship between students’ Plane Geometry (I) background knowledge and their circle theorem test performance using a simple linear regression model.
Results: The descriptive statistics showed that students had the least confidence in their understanding of properties and theorems in Plane Geometry (I), (M = 1.88, SD = 1.05). This revealed a gap in foundational knowledge that may impact their learning of the Circle Theorem. The linear regression model summary revealed that background knowledge in Plane Geometry (I) as the predictor variable has a significant relationship with students’ test performance in circle theorem r2 = .111, F(10,199)= 2.475, P=.008.
Conlusion: Students are more likely to perform better in circle theorem if they have solid and better background knowledge in Plane Geometry (I).
Recommendation: Teachers should employ inquiry-based and hands-on learning strategies to reinforce students’ understanding of Plane Geometry (I) concepts to provide a foundation for learning success in circle.

Published: February 2025

Social Studies is one of the core subjects at the primary level of education which all pupils are exposed to. Despite the importance and relevance of social studies, the academic performance of pupils in the subject has been on a dwindling fall. The study investigated the effect of individualized learning strategy on pupil’s academic performance in Social Studies in Ilorin West Local Government of Kwara State. The study adopted a pre-test, post-test, and control group quasi-experimental design. Four schools were selected using simple random sampling technique. The data collection instrument was the Social Studies Achievement Test (SSAT). The reliability coefficient of the instrument was obtained using PPMC at 0.74. Frequency counts, mean and percentage were used to analyse the demographical data of the participants. At the same time, all the null hypotheses were tested using the Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) all at 0.05 significance level. The results revealed that there was a significant main effect of individualized learning strategy on pupils’ academic performance in Ilorin West Local Government Area, Kwara State (F (1; 151) = 24.714, P < 0.05), there was no significant interaction effect of individualized learning strategy and gender on pupils’ academic performance in Ilorin West Local Government Area, Kwara State (F (1; 151) = .936, P>0.05), there was no significant interaction effect of individualized learning strategy and school type on pupils’ academic performance in Ilorin West Local Government Area, Kwara State (F (1; 151) = 3.607, P>0.05), and there was no significant interaction effect of individualized learning strategy, gender, and school type on pupils’ academic performance in Ilorin West Local Government Area, Kwara State (F (1; 151) = .004, P>0.05). Based on these findings it was concluded that the effectiveness of individual learning strategy on pupils’ academic performance, surpasses traditional instructional methods. However, the study findings suggested that the impact of individualized learning strategy on pupils’ academic performance is not significantly influenced by gender, school type, in Ilorin west local government Kwara State. It was recommended among others that he effectiveness of individualized instruction strategy on pupils’ academic performance, has been established.

Siri Marriage Due To Not Having A Divorce Certificate: Case Study In Negara Sakti Village, Pakuan Ratu Sub-District, Way Kanan District
Authors: Annisa Qori
Published: February 2025

The focus of this research is on unregistered divorce, which subsequently impacts the occurrence of a second unregistered marriage because one administrative requirement cannot be fulfilled, namely a divorce certificate. What is interesting about this second unregistered marriage is that it was carried out by the wife, who, according to positive law, has committed polyandry. This type of research is classified as empirical legal research with a socio-legal approach or static sociology of law. The data analysis technique used in empirical legal research involves taking a systematic and factual picture. The results showed that the practice of unregistered divorce in Negara Sakti Village, Pakuan Ratu Subdistrict, was caused by several factors such as the distance to the Religious Court, economic factors, lack of knowledge about the law, and hereditary habits. Meanwhile, the practice of unregistered divorce in Negara Sakti Village involves the couple who are divorcing signing a divorce statement witnessed by village officials, village elders, and the village mudin (not before the Court), which is not in accordance with state regulations. The phenomenon of unregistered divorce in Negara Sakti Village has led to the occurrence of second unregistered marriages, identity falsification, confusion of lineage, and polyandry for ex-wives who marry other men.

Analisis Metode Pengukuran Pendapatan pata’gal lita Perspektif Akuntansi Syariah di Masyarakat Suku Mandar Sulawesi Barat
Authors: Nurhaliza Nurhaliza , Hadijah Sitti , Rufaida Erty Rospyana
Published: February 2025

Islam regulates pawn laws based on the teachings of the Qur'an, Hadith, and consensus of scholars. Pawn, or rahn, is considered a voluntary contract (tabarru’) aimed at helping others in distress without seeking profit. However, land pawn practices still contain elements of usury that are not in line with Sharia accounting standards, such as those outlined in PSAK Sharia 107, which only allows income from administrative fees, deposit fees, and maintenance costs. This study aims to analyze the income measurement method in the practice of pata’gal lita within the Mandar community in West Sulawesi from the perspective of Sharia accounting. The research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive qualitative research design. Data collection was conducted using two methods: interviews and documentation. The results of this study found that in pata’gal lita, the borrower receives income from the harvest, which is shared with the lender, or from the marhun (pledged asset) managed by the lender, where the harvest is fully taken by them. This practice also involves the charging of interest based on the amount of the loan, but this system contains elements of riba qardh and riba jahiliyyah, which are in conflict with the principles of Sharia accounting.
[Islam mengatur hukum gadai berdasarkan ajaran Al-Qur'an, Hadis, dan kesepakatan ulama. Gadai atau rahn dianggap sebagai akad tabarru’ (sukarela) yang bertujuan untuk membantu orang lain dalam kesulitan tanpa mencari keuntungan. Namun, praktik gadai lahan masih mengandung unsur ribawi yang tidak sesuai dengan PSAK Syariah, seperti yang diatur dalam PSAK Syariah 107 yang hanya mengizinkan pendapatan dari biaya administrasi, biaya titip, dan biaya pemeliharaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis metode pengukuran pendapatan dalam praktik pata’gal lita di masyarakat Suku Mandar, Sulawesi Barat berdasarkan perspektif akuntansi syariah. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Penelitian ini mengggunakan dua metode pengumpulan data melalui wawancara dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian ini ditemukan bahwa dalam pata’gal lita, peminjam menerima pendapatan dari hasil panen yang dibagi dengan sipemberi pinjaman atau dari marhun yang dikelola oleh sipemberi pinjaman dengan hasil panen diambil sepenuhnya oleh mereka. Praktik ini juga melibatkan pemberian bunga berdasarkan jumlah pinjaman, namun sistem tersebut mengandung unsur riba qardh dan riba jahiliyyah, yang bertentangan dengan prinsip-prinsip akuntansi syariah].
Idah Bagi Suami: Perspektif Qira’ah Mubadalah dan Filsafat Hukum
Authors: Al Latifa Soraya , Khatimah Husnul , Rahim Raisa
Published: February 2025

A marriage that breaks up because of divorce or one of the couple passes away will cause legal consequences. One of the legal consequences is iddah or waiting period for wife after the husband leaves. The wife must refrain during the iddah period, one of which is not to get married as long as the iddah period has not been completed. And also for the husband is obliged to provide iddah and mut'ah maintenance to the divorced wife. However, husbands may enter into a post-divorce marriage without a waiting period. Of course this is not fair if iddah is borne only by women. Therefore, iddah needs to be read with the concept of mubilah which was coined by Faqihuddin Abdul Kodir and also ethics in legal philosophy. The research method used by the author is library research with a normative approach to syara' propositions. This research is descriptive-analytic in nature by using the theory of mubadalah and ethics in legal philosophy. This research concludes that the concept of iddah in the Qur’an must also be applied by men as legal subjects. Apart from being based on the mutuality and similarities between men and women, in essence, iddah also has wisdom as a period of self-reflection and introspection for men and women so as not to let go of the marriage bond. If iddah is due to one of them passing away, then there is dignity and ethics that must be maintained for the sake of the common good and prioritizing the values and ethics that apply in society rather than personal reason.
[Perkawinan yang putus akibat perceraian maupun salah satu pasangan meninggal dunia akan menimbulkan konsekuensi hukum. Salah satunya adalah iddah bagi istri pasca ditinggal suami. Istri harus menahan diri selama masa iddah salah satunya tidak menikah selama belum selesai masa iddah. Pun bagi suami memiliki kewajiban untuk memberi nafkah iddah dan mut’ah kepada istri yang dicerai. Namun, suami boleh melangsungkan perkawinan pasca bercerai tanpa adanya masa tunggu. Tentu hal ini tidak adil jika iddah hanya ditanggung perempuan saja. Oleh karena itu iddah perlu dibaca dengan konsep mubadalah yang dicetuskan oleh Faqihuddin Abdul Kodir dan juga etika dalam filsafat hukum. Metode penelitian yang digunakan penulis adalah penelitian pustaka (library research) dengan pendekatan normatif terhadap dalil-dalil syara’. Penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif-analisis dengan menggunakan teori mubadalah dan etika dalam filsafat hukum. Penelitian ini menghasilkan kesimpulan bahwa konsep iddah yang ada di dalam Al-Quran harus ditafsirkan berlaku juga bagi laki-laki sebagai subjek hukum. Selain mendasarkan pada adanya ketersalingan dan kesamaan antara laki-laki dan perempuan, hakikatnya iddah juga memiliki hikmah sebagai masa refleksi dan introspeksi diri bagi laki-laki dan perempuan agar tidak jadi melepaskan ikatan perkawinan. Apabila iddah karena salah satu meninggal dunia maka ada marwah dan etika yang harus dijaga demi kemashlahatan bersama dan mengedepankan nilai serta etika yang berlaku di masyarakat daripada kepentingan pribadi].
Mahar dalam Hukum Islam dan Maqasid Syariah: Studi Fenomena Mahar Unik Di Yogyakarta
Authors: Anwar Miftakhul
Published: February 2025

The dowry is one of the important elements in marriage in Islamic law which has a strategic position, both as a symbol of a man's seriousness in marrying a woman and as a woman's right that must be given by her husband. However, in the last few decades, the unique dowry phenomenon in several regions, including Yogyakarta, has increasingly attracted attention. This phenomenon includes various forms and values of dowry that do not always comply with Islamic legal standards. This research aims to analyze the unique dowry phenomenon in Yogyakarta in the context of Islamic law and Maqasid Syariah. This research uses a qualitative approach with case study methods, interviews and observations of dowry practices among the people of Yogyakarta. The research results show that unique dowries, even though they often appear different from general dowry provisions, can still be understood within the framework of Maqasid Syariah as long as they do not conflict with basic Islamic principles such as justice, benefit and convenience for the bridal couple.
[Mahar merupakan salah satu unsur penting dalam pernikahan dalam hukum Islam yang memiliki kedudukan yang strategis, baik sebagai simbol keseriusan pria dalam menikahi wanita maupun sebagai hak wanita yang harus diberikan oleh suami. Namun, dalam beberapa dekade terakhir, fenomena mahar unik di beberapa daerah, termasuk Yogyakarta, semakin mencuri perhatian. Fenomena ini mencakup berbagai bentuk dan nilai mahar yang tidak selalu sesuai dengan standar hukum Islam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis fenomena mahar unik di Yogyakarta dalam konteks hukum Islam dan Maqasid Syariah. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus, wawancara, dan observasi terhadap praktik mahar di kalangan masyarakat Yogyakarta. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mahar unik, meskipun sering kali tampak berbeda dengan ketentuan mahar yang umum, tetap dapat dipahami dalam kerangka Maqasid Syariah asalkan tidak bertentangan dengan prinsip-prinsip dasar Islam seperti keadilan, kemaslahatan, dan kemudahan bagi pasangan pengantin].

The topic of Romanian communist urbanism encounters a problem of language between the concept of ”civic centre“ and the ideological content of the concept in Nicolae Ceauşescu’s Romania, a period during which there were built almost all the civic centres in the country. This is the reason why a few questions arise: Are the communist ideology and one man’s ambition able to deal themselves with the rest of the Romanian communist and post communist society? Could architects struggle the phantasms and the ambitions that drew the whole of the modern Romanian culture?

Ioan Ionescu-Dolj was born in the commune of Boureni in Dolj county on 14 September 1875. He graduated from the "Carol I" high school in Craiova in 1894. A law student at the University of Bucharest, after two years he earned a diploma enabling him to be employed as an official at the Urban Land Credit. He continued his academic studies, and in the third year he completed his law degree and was ranked first. In June 1898, the Minister of Justice George D. Pallade appointed him judge. His professional training, his particular scrupulousness in the judicial activity and his stamina allowed him a rapid evolution on the hierarchical scale. In 1921, he became a counsellor at the High Court of Cassation and Justice, being one of the youngest members of the supreme court at that time.
Since the establishment of the Legislative Council, Ioan Ionescu-Dolj participated with all his creative energy in the institutional organization, consolidation and proper running of its activity. In the period 1926-1938, the First Section of the Legislative Council processed more than 2370 files with regard to various legislative projects. He distinguished himself in the work of drafting the Criminal Code and the Code of Criminal Procedure, which belonged to the First Section, at the head of which he had been since the establishment of the Legislative Council. The two codes went through the legislative procedure and entered into force on 1 January 1937, constituting a special moment in the work of legislative unification of interwar Romania. In 1938 he was elected first president of the Legislative Council, a position he would hold until 1942.
In the relationship with the ministries, state institutions and various entities, he showed openness, pragmatic and reverent attitude, which led him to manage with prudence, efficiency and professionalism the difficulties inherent in the legislative process. From the correspondence with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it can be seen that he was involved in obtaining relevant information and documents relating to legislative reforms abroad in various fields of law, which denotes a constant concern for the documentation necessary to carry out the activity of the Legislative Council, for the knowledge and implementation of European and international legal standards.

CULTURA DE SCHIMB ȘI „SISTEMUL DE PERTINENȚĂ”
ÎN CONTEXTUL IDENTITĂȚILOR

In essence, humans communicate through culture: all aspects of human life actually reflect the manifestation of the members’ personality, manifestations of emotions, thoughts, concerns, aiming at the personal and community life.
The assimilation of the elements specific to a culture does not imply conforming to everything, behaviorally and ideologically, but respecting those cultural specificities in the context of common communication situations.
The processes of identity expression are necessary for the configuration of the identity cultural profile. Behavioral manifestations and the essence of customs and habits are trained through them.
Within cultural exchanges, international negotiations or diplomatic relations, an area of confused communication is inevitably created, called by psychosociologists and anthropologists cross-culture, which we will call the gray area.
From the behavioral point of view, in the area of exchange culture, it is necessary to respect the behaviors specific to each culture, as an act of mutual respect for cultural specificity in the context of intercultural communication.
Our paper will be based on the exemplifying some of the ideas that form the cultural interactionism and interculturality tapestry presented by Edward T. Hall, in his volume Le language silencieux , focusing on preserving intangible cultural heritage elements. We will also refer to the "pertinence system" (a concept developed by the phenomenological sociology of Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann), which brings together expressive phenomena related to the inner identity of the actors.
The ideal communication goal is the creation of valorizing identities, to which the communication actor can aspire, a motivational support for ennobling the "view of the world". In human culture, Marin Sorescu developed a vision originating from an esthetic point of view and going towards the elements of intangible cultural heritage through the cycle La lilieci.
