This document summarizes the results of a political study in Romania regarding perceptions of amnesty and pardon. Some key findings include:
- The majority of Romanians believe the country is heading in the wrong direction and oppose granting amnesty or pardon to convicts.
- Those more likely to support amnesty/pardon tend to live in rural areas, be over 45, and have lower levels of education.
- Opposition increases when asked about violent crimes specifically, though there is more leniency toward property crimes.
- Most Romanians feel current penalties for violent crimes are too light, though some had difficulty assessing penalties.
Amnesty and pardoning of corruption offences in Romania (survey December 2018)Catalin Tenita
At the beginning of December 2018, Geeks for Democracy ordered a study on amnesty/pardon as well as the more general problematic of justice and fight against corruption in Romania.
The study was done between the 4th and 11th of December by ISSPOL, through the CATI method, on a nationally representative sample of 1064 people, with a margin of error of 3%.
The study shows that in regards to amnesty/pardon, but also corruption, there is but one Romania:
– 91% of Romanians oppose pardoning felons sentenced for corruption and amnesty for acts of corruption;
– 87% of Romanians that voted PSD/ALDE/UDMR at the 2016 parliamentary election oppose amnesty and pardon;
– 63% of Romanians consider that the punishment for corruption is too soft;
– 73% of Romanians consider that their lives are affected by corruption in high and very high proportion
– 80% of Romanians consider that the fight against corruption is important for them
– 91% of Romanians wish to remain in the European Union

Yougov Speakers for Schools Poll of MPs, business & young people May - June ...Youth Card
Only 15% of students said that access to workplace experience would help them ‘make up for lost time due to the pandemic’. However, 37% of business leaders think that access to workplace experience will help young people recover from the effects of the pandemic. There is a disconnect here.
Counselling/mental health support (21%), more personal tutoring (21%) and participation in sports (20%) are at the top of young people’s lists in terms of post-pandemic priorities. While all of the above are indeed very important for young people’s mental, physical and academic wellbeing, it could be argued that there’s a need to stress the importance of pursuing career-progression opportunities via work experience that are available to them thanks to initiatives such as virtual work experience. This is where charities such as Speakers for School can play an important role, especially as there appears to be a lack of consensus within the business community as to who holds the responsibility to help young people get their ca

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

30. Conclusions 1/3
❖ The majority of Romanians agree that, in Romania, matters are heading in the wrong direction (80%).
❖ The granting of an Amnesty to, and/or pardoning of convicts, are considered to be bad for society (70%). Romanians
who consider that an amnesty or pardon are good or very good measures tend to have the following social profile: live in
rural areas, are over 45 years of age, have only primary-level education, and voted with PSD / ALDE / UDMR at the last
parliamentary elections.
❖ Three-quarters of the country's population are opposed to any amnesty or pardon measures. Romanians who agree
with such measures tend to have the following social profile: rural inhabitant in the historic region of Muntenia, over 45
years of age, have primary level or, at best, secondary-level education, and voted with PSD / ALDE / UDMR at the last
parliamentary elections.
❖ When the survey participants were shown examples of criminal actions that could be forgiven by the Romanian
state, the percentage of those opposed to amnesty or pardon increased. Romanians have a more lenient attitude
towards those who have committed qualified robberies from usage of private money, and are less tolerant of groups of
people guilty of violent crimes (robbery, rape, etc).
❖ In terms of penalties, 7 out of 10 Romanians claim that they are too light for acts of violence involving personal injury
(robbery, rape, etc). However, it should be noted that around 15% of respondents were unable to assess the extent to
which actual punishments are appropriate for given offenses. PSD, ALDE and UDMR voters have a more lenient attitude
towards punishment for aggressors than do opposition voters.
31. Conclusions 2/3
❖ Three-quarters of Romanians consider that the corrupt acts of politicians affect their everyday lives to a great or
very great extent.
❖ The fight against corruption is an important measure for 8 out of 10 Romanians.
❖ The release of convicts/detainees from prison on compensatory appeal is considered a bad measure by over half of
Romanians. Citizens who believe that the release of these detainees was a very good idea tend to have the following social
profile: live in the regions of Muntenia or Moldova, are under 45 years old, have no more than secondary-level education,
and voted with the ruling Coalition at the last election.
❖ More than half of citizens are appalled at the changes applied to the laws of justice and to the criminal/penal codes
over the past 2 years. The Romanians who expressed this assessment mainly live in the urban area, are under 45 years old,
have higher-education studies, and voted with the opposition parties at the last parliamentary elections.
32. Conclusions 3/3
❖ Half of Romanians believe that Romania is not ready to take over the EU presidency.
❖ An overwhelming majority of Romanians desire to see the country remaining a member of the EU. Those Romanians
who tend more to favour Romania leaving the EU are mainly over 45 years of age, with primary-evel education. However,
there are no differences in terms of the political preferences manifested in voting in the last parliamentary elections.
❖ The most watched TV channel for information is PRO TV. Among the news broadcasts, Romanians prefer Romania TV
for information.
