      Focusing on university students, this study examines how teacher-student relationships and academic climate impact academic motivation. It highlights the growing issue of career anxiety among students and its effects on their motivation. The research identifies differences in these factors based on students' fields of study and explores the interplay between academic climate, teacher-student relationships, and motivation. Results indicate that both teacher-student relationships and academic climate are significant predictors of motivation, with career anxiety moderating these relationships.

      Exploring the similarities between Portuguese and Romanian, this study focuses on the systems of forms of address within these two Romance languages, particularly their phonetic commonalities. It investigates whether these similarities extend to other linguistic levels and examines the translation challenges that arise from these forms of address. By analyzing the issues and proposing potential solutions, the work aims to deepen the understanding of language dynamics at the intersection of culture and translation.

    • En y resongeant par la suite, Louis situa le début du cauchemar à l'instant précis où l'on amena à l'infirmerie ce garçon de vingt ans qui était en train de mourir, la cervelle en bouillie et les yeux ouverts... Ou bien, peut-être, quinze jours plus tôt : ils venaient d'emménager à Ludow, c'était la rentrée des classes, et Ellie avait hâte de leur raconter sa première journée d'école. Louis était allé coucher le bébé au premier étage, et il avait eu cet étrange pressentiment : quelque chose les menaçait. Une force inconnue, terrifiante mais irrésistible... En fait, Rachel avait raison : ce cimetière d'animaux, à deux pas de la maison, c'était morbide, c'était mauvais pour les enfants. Pourtant, l'endroit était si beau, si attirant. Une sorte de cercle magique...
