Angus Roxburgh, Vladimir Putin. Un ţar în căutarea unui nou imperiu (The Strongman: Vladimir Putin and the Struggle for Russia), translated by Alina Ștefănescu, Litera Publishing House, Bucharest, 2014
No full textThis present paper follows the English edition, published in 2011 by IB Tauris & Co. Ltd, London and New York. We consider this study to be important because we have to understand how all the levels of Russian policy have changed, especially after 1999. Also, the author explains how the relations escalated between Vladimir Putin and the Western world, how he has become increasingly authoritarian, how he defied the West and how the West defied him in return and how both of the sides failed to observe the concerns and fear of each other. These facts led to a carousel of mutual mistrust and missed opportunitie

Stanislav Belkovsky, Putin: biografia interzisă (Putin: the man who wasn’t there), translated by Antoaneta Olteanu, Corint Publishing House, Bucharest, 2014
No full textoai:ojs.literati.ro:article/2În momentul apariției în limba rusă, dar și sub numeroase traduceri, lucrarea de față a stârnit o serie de controverse și polemici, fiind intens mediatizată și discutată atât de cititorii nespecializați în problematicile abordate de autor, cât și de lumea științifică ori politică. Având în vedere faptul că volumul este împărțit în 22 de capitole, am preferat o recenzie de ansamblu, încercând să evidențiez informațiile inedite oferite de Stanislav Belkovski și viziunea acestuia despre Vladimir Putin, precum și obiectivele pe care autorul a dorit să le atingă prin publicarea acestei cărți

Pope Francis’ visit to Turkey (28-30 November, 2014)
No full textBetween 28-30 november 2014, Pope Francisc has visited the Republic of Turkey, being for the fourth time in the history of Vatican when a pope had arrived in this islamic country. The visit held by Holy Father in Turkey took place based on the Middle Est’s tensions: the massacres of Christians and the proximity of Turkey with the territoires occupied by the terrorist group of the Islamic State. During the three days of visit, the Pope has pleaded for religious tolerance and for combating the extremism, especially because this meeting came in the tense context of the neighboring countries, Syria and Irak where members of ISIS are killing and persecuting the Christians and the others who don’t share their religious beliefs

Patient Experiences With Temporomandibular Disorders: A Survey on the Pathways in Diagnosis and Treatment
No full textBackground: Despite the availability of evidence-based guidelines on temporomandibular disorders (TMD), some past theories of TMD aetiology, diagnosis and treatment are still diffused among clinical practitioners. Objective(s): The study aims to gather and analyse patient experiences and outcomes related to their seeking care for TMD symptoms. Methods: In November 2023, a survey to collect comprehensive data on patients' diagnostic journeys, treatment experiences, and outcomes was distributed through online platforms and TMD patient support groups in a variety of countries. Correlation between different variables was assessed and comparisons were made between patients with a different history of treatment-seeking experiences. Results: A total of 153 participants filled out the survey. Of them, 31.4% (N = 48) needed to consult two or three professionals, while some of them saw up to four or five (N = 27, 17.6%). Moreover, patients experienced a wide range of pain duration time before receiving a diagnosis. Almost one-third of patients were in pain for more than one year (N = 43, 28.1%), and a remarkable number never received appropriate care (N = 30, 19.6%). Additionally, those patients who saw one or more dentists who emphasised abnormalities of dental occlusion or jaw position ended up consulting significantly more health providers before receiving a diagnosis than those who did not have that experience (p = 0.0062). Conclusion: There is a need to better implement knowledge about TMDs among health-care providers, starting from improving the quality of education at the university course level and continuing into various post-graduate educational offerings. © 2025 The Author(s).

Evaluating interpretability of state-of-the-art NLP models for predicting moral values
No full textUnderstanding personal values is a crucial aspect that can facilitate the collaboration between AI and humans. Nonetheless, the implementation of collaborative agents in real life greatly depends on the amount of trust that is built in their relationship with people. In order to bridge this gap, more extensive analysis of the explainability of these systems needs to be conducted. We implement LSTM, BERT and FastText, three deep learning models for text classification and compare their interpretability on the task of predicting moral values from opinionated text. The results highlight the different degrees to which the behaviour of the three models can be explained in the context of moral value prediction. Our experiments showed that BERT, current state-of-the-art in natural language processing tasks, achieves the best performance while also providing more interpretable predictions than the other two models.CSE3000 Research ProjectComputer Science and Engineerin
