На границата на интердисциплинарния подход към историята – насилието и някои ключови моменти от европейското минало през приз­мата на един опит за историко-психологически анализ

Author(s): Dimitar Petkov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2018

The methods of the historical analysis are not sufficient to explain the past, because there is no history without psychology and there is no psychology without history. That is the main thesis of the present article. From that point of view, the author proposes an interdisciplinary explanation of the key moments from the European history, which combine the historical with psychological, as well as the philosophical analysis. These moments are: the rise of European civilization / the domination of European civilization over the rest of the world, the war and the violence that this civilization produces as a destructive force. The author tries to explain the destructive moments in the European history by means of the archetype “shadow”, which Carl Gustav Jung uses as а part of his theory for the collective unconscious. In the analyses some of Sigmund Freud’s opinions for the violence of the Human nature are used. On the base of the interdisciplinary analysis the author tries to explain the co-existence of creative and destructive principles in the course of the development of European society.

Семантични релации в рамките на многократнатa хиперонимия в Уърднет

Author(s): Svetla Koeva,Valentina Stefanova,Dimitar Hristov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2018

The article proposes a description of the semantics and properties of the main semantic relation – hypernymy, between noun synonym sets in Wordnet (lexical-semantic network in which words are linked with the semantic relations between concepts to which they refer). The relation instance hypernymy is also presented, connecting proper noun synonym sets and synonym sets denoting classes, which describe a given named object. In this article the multiple hypernymy cases are analysed. Based on the hypothesis that one synonym set cannot be related to more than one hypernym, other semantic relations are defined in the scope of multiple hypernymy: origin, form and function, as well as the relation true hypernymy. Tests for the identification of new relations are presented together with some examples. The overall conclusion is that multiple hypernymy embraces several semantic relations which, in turn, are only partially shown within the Wordnet structure.

Иновации в сегрегираното образование – готов ли е учителят

Author(s): Yossif Nunev / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 9/2019

Innovation in education is not a new phenomenon in Bulgarian education. In the past, innovative solutions in educational institutions have been neglected or even totally ignored by educational authorities. Nowadays, however, they are part of the state policy and are directly dependent on the area where the school is located, the ethnocultural composition of the pupils, the number of its pupils, the social status and activity of the parents, the support of the institutions and the society. In this sense, we have to pay tribute to the role of the pedagogical specialist and place it at the epicenter of innovative solutions in the educational environment. Moreover, we must not forget that it is precisely the teacher who must know the needs of his students, be boundlessly motivated to experiment and show creativity, constantly enrich his experience and to do his best when immersed in practice. The presented material analyzes the results from a survey of pedagogical specialists working in two of the largest schools with Roma students in Sofia. The basis of this questionnaire is their confidence, conviction and faith in the innovativeness of their activities in the process of education and socialization of Roma students.

Пост-индустриален капитализъм, колективна идеология и обществото на алтернативната истина

Author(s): Alain Klein / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 4/2019

The aspirations of post-colonial political elites in Africa can be summed up as the quest for development. This quest since independence, involves, in part, the pursuit of a common citizenship, shared nationality and common interests and values, the evolution of which provide the bedrock for mutual co-existence and the commitment of all to the common good. It also involves the establishment of institutions that will guarantee peace, justice, and fairness. However, the process of realizing these goals of broadening the scope of socio-political interactions have been vitiated by our colonial experiences and consequently unleashed certain centrifugal forces that have made the quest for community development in most African states a daunting task.The divisive tendencies of the colonialists created communal identities, which provided a new symbolic and ethnocentric focus for each group where none existed and thus complicated the task of welding diverse elements in each colony into a coherent whole. This became the source of the proliferation of many life threatening conflicts which has impeded the process of community development in Africa. But why has these conflicts persist in spite of the several attempts to meet them? This paper argues that the above account fails because it ignores the values Africans place on human worth given expression in their communal context. The attempt here is to explore South Africa`s indigenous unifying social ethic of Ubuntu in arriving at a humane society that has a participatory value; founded on co-operation, charity, reconciliation and justice rather than the individualism of the West. This paper will, therefore, employ the analytic descriptive method to examine the above in a manner many scholars have ignored in an attempt to develop a viable sense of community in Africa. Hence, it is expected that this paper will initiate a perspective that will challenge extant interpretation of this discourse.

In this context the political relations between the British Empire and the Kingdom of Bulgaria are developing. In view of the polarization of Europe between the Triple Alliance and the Entente, Sofia seeks to secure the support of London and to establish good connections and feelings.

Naturally, King Ferdinand I and his family ties to the royal family of England are naturally counting, given the English-Russian idea circulating in the diplomacy of 1908-1909 to create a Balkan Union.
