(Nowe) trendy w muzealnictwie — spojrzenie subiektywne

Author(s): Marcin Zdanowski / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2020

The article presents (in subjective terms) the directions of museology development, and shows issues related to the change of approach to museum audience. It is indicated that the viewer, recipient, or even participant, is more and more often placed in the center of the interest of a contemporary museum. The article pays attention to the change in mu-seum’s attitude in recent years. The once common transfer of knowledge, was changed to stimulating thinking and personal development. The set point for this attitude can be, the still little known, though dating back to 1957, Tilden’s principles of heritage interpretation. An attempt was also made to transfer Ray Oldenburg’s theory of Third places to museum context. In addition, arguments for an entrepreneurial and strategic approach to museum functioning and management were presented. Furthermore, a number of examples were shown, supporting the thesis that building a network of relationships and partnerships is one of the most interesting and effective tools in managing a contemporary museum.

Author(s): Vladimir Dosev / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 6/2020

The University of Economics – Varna was founded on May 14, 1920 and this year it celebrates its 100th anniversary. Already in the first university curricula very serious attention was paid to the foreign language training of the future economists, and the number of foreign language classes exceeded the number of classes in any other subject. Prominent philologists who had graduated abroad were recruited to teach foreign languages, and foreign nationals were regularly invited to deliver lectures at the University. Two of the foreign language professors were elected rectors of the University. The purpose of this article is to outline the role of languages in the first university curricula (1920 – 1940 г.) and to promote the names and work of the first language teachers at the University of Economics – Varna.

1898. 25 години от обесването на Левски: юбилей и преса

Author(s): Elena Getova / Language(s): Bulgarian / Publication Year: 0

The year 1898 marked the first jubilee of Vasil Levski – 25 years since his hanging. The dynamics of political processes in liberated Bulgaria at the time present a rather interesting and particularly complex picture against the background of which this event unfolded. The stereotype of jubilee celebrations was yet to consolidate and this particular occasion – the anniversary since the death of the Apostle of freedom – makes visible the deep political contradictions inherited from previous historical realities. The manifestations of these contradictions can be seen in the press in 1898.

Novel hydrazone Schiff base viz. 6,6’,8,8’-tetramethyl-4,4’,7,7’- tetrahydro-7,7’-bi-1,2,4,5-tetrazocine-3,3’(2H,2’H)-dithionehas been synthesized from3,4-diacetylhexane-2,5-dione and thiocarbohydrazideandcharacterized. The bicyclichydrazone Schiff basehas been found active against bacteria[S.aureus and K.pneumoniaae] and fungi [A.niger and Trichophytonrubrum]. DNA photo-cleav¬age and antiangiogenic behavior of synthesized hydrazone Schiff base has been studied. Furthermore,the synthesizedhydrazone Schiff basesignificantly inhibited cell proliferation with IC50 value 62.5μg/ml. The flow-cytometry analysis of hy¬drazone Schiff base treated human breast cancer cells showed that apoptosis rate increased with increase in dose. In conclusion present study proposes the develop¬ment of novel therapeutic strategy for MCF-7 cancer cell treatment.

90 години Старозагорска опера и 70 години от одържавяването й

Author(s): Emiliya Zhunich / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 2/2016

90 years ago a group of enthusiasts form an opera ensemble, as it occurs in many other localities. And if after one or two titles everything finishes mainly because of lack of funding, exactly in that consists the heroism of citizens of Stara Zagora: the only amateur ensemble which exists 21 years long, and after that it is nationalized in 1946. The nationalization is a kind of recognition but this leads to shocks. In 1967 lays the beginnings of the annually organized Festival of the Opera and Ballet Arts – a mirror of the achievements in the area of music and performing arts. Because of a conflagration end of 1991 the ensemble left homeless. In 2015 the State Operа Stara Zagora celebrates its 90th anniversary, and on the 1st of April 2016 it is 70 years since its nationalization.

A CASE STUDY OF THE APPLICATION OF HIPPOTHERAPY IN SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN WITH MULTIPLE DISABILITIES

Author(s): Kristýna MIŠKOVSKÁ,Markéta JANATOVÁ,Kateřina Čapková,Martin VÍTĚZNÍK / Language(s): English / Issue: 4/2020

Introduction: Hippotherapy is a physiotherapeutic method based on influencing the patient by three-dimensional mechanics of horseback movement. The method is used mainly in pediatric patients with various types of disabilities to improve motor and cognitive functions. Aim: The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of hippotherapy in children with multiple disabilities. Material and methods: Within this case study, impact of hippotherapy on three school-age patients with multiple disabilities was observed. Heart rate was measured and recorded during the therapy and during the contact with the horse before and after the therapy. Prior to the study and after 6 weeks period, an examination was performed by physiotherapist. Results: Significant drop in heart rate was observed in all three patients, corresponding with getting in the contact with the horse, getting on the horse and at the beginning of the ride. Heart rate raised again when the patient conducted active physical exercise. Based on the final examination improved body posture and gait was observed. Conclusion: We verified in the scope of three cases that impact of hippotherapy on children can be assessed based on detecting changes in heart rate. Improvement in fields on which this therapy aims was observed.

A Combinatorial Question Related to an Easter Tradition Led to a New Entry in OEIS

Author(s): Ivaylo Kortezov / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2021

In some regions of Bulgaria (at least) there is an Easter tradition, according to which in group of people first each one chooses a differently coloured egg, then each pair of people performs a swap (or swaps) by exchanging the eggs they currently have until everyone gets the originally chosen egg. This generates a natural question: if there are n people in the group, find the least number E(n) of swaps which makes this possible. We prove that E(n) is the least even number not less than n(n−1)/2. The sequence thus generated was added to the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences and linked from there to several seemingly distant combinatorial results.

A Concept for Inclusive Physical Education Training Program for Future Pre-School and Primary-School Teachers

Author(s): Galena Terzieva / Language(s): English / Issue: 5/2019

The adoption of new normative documents in the field of education in Bulgaria determines the inclusion of children with special educational needs in general education schools. The significant and integral role which physical education plays in the educational process poses the question of the inclusion of children with impairments in motor activity training as well. Teachers implementing it contribute greatly to its positive effects. The main features of physical education include active motor activity and the related physical workload. In order for them to be adapted successfully to the specific needs of children with different disabilities, more specialized training is required. The analysis of the curricula of the faculties of education in Bulgaria shows that future pre-school and primary school teachers who will be responsible for the physical education of children in kindergartens and primary schools respectively do not receive appropriate training in adaptive physical education. The aim of this article is to present a concept for introducing a training programme on “Motor Activity Training and Inclusive Physical Education”, intended for students of the specialty Preschool and Primary School Education at the Faculty of Education, Trakia University, Bulgaria.

School inspection systems have undergone a transformation in response to the changing social and economic scenarios across Europe. However, two major approaches can easily be identified that also define the two ends of the continuum of the approaches to school inspection. On one end is a high stake sanctions oriented inspection while on the other end is the low stakes advisory inspection. The elements that contribute to the rigour of school inspection include governance arrangements, statutory powers of the inspectorate including powers of sanction, the forms and frequency of inspection visits, the level of emphasis on school self-evaluation and action planning for improvement; and availability of support services for the schools. The current paper presents four cases from Europe: Bulgaria, Ireland, Greece and Spain (Extremadura) describing how school inspection is organised in these countries as defined in the governing legislation and to which end of the continuum their inspection system is tilted in the light of that case’s performance on the above indicators. Towards the end, this paper makes a comparison of the cases and suggests why the relationship of trust and respect between inspectors and the inspected is stronger in some cases and how developing inspection systems can benefit from analysing the established systems.

A FESTIVAL AS A PEDAGOGICAL TOOL TO PROMOTE INCLUSION IN THE COMMUNITY AND IN SCHOOLS

Author(s): Katja Jeznik,Klara Skubic Ermenc,Jasna Mažgoň / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2018

The focus of education policies on greater equity and accessibility of education for all exposes an important difference between narrow and broad definitions of the concept of inclusion. The narrow definition is tied above all to the school context, where responsibility for the realisation of inclusion lies with pedagogical workers. The broad definition refers to an understanding of inclusion as the embracing of diversity as a positive value for the community, regardless of the institutional context in which we endeavour to achieve inclusion. The research discussed the inclusive educational practice of a special educational institution catering for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Using a sample of 139 participants at the international inclusive festival Play With Me, the attitudes towards inclusion and towards persons with special needs (a Likert scale was created) were researched. The results indicate that respondents generally had positive attitudes towards inclusion; there were differences between them, depending on the roles they undertook at the festival (mentors of students taking part in the festival and volunteers running various festival activities), the institutions they came from (special or mainstream educational institutions, associations, NGOs), and whether or not they had experience of individuals with special educational needs (SEN), either in their work or in their studies. Although a broad understanding of inclusive culture is present in the statements of respondents, it appears that both general and special teachers (in the role of mentors) still incline slightly more towards a narrow understanding of inclusion than volunteers do, which raises questions about pedagogical workers' conception of education.

Esettanulmány egy spontán iskolai szerveződésről

Author(s): Gábor Vályi / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 28/2021

In relation to the school, be it a public or private institution, there is a general idea that suggests that all educational institutions that perform public tasks play an important role in education for democracy (Jakab and Varga 2007). Several literature describing the basics for the practitioners of the profession formulate ethical and aesthetic guidelines, recommendations for heads of institutions, school practices for teachers from this somewhat idealized basic position (Education International 2019, National Environmental Education Strategy 2019). The case study presents, on the one hand, an institution that, with its specific profile, refutes this one-dimensional school concept mentioned above, and on the other hand, provides insight into its internal logic, re-ideologized communication, a problem lasting several years, and student and parent action. The repression that will be explained below and the practitioners in this case can be identified in this case, they will not be abstracted, they will not become faceless in an opaque superstructure. On the contrary, people practice extreme forms of oppression with whom students are forced to come into contact and cooperate on a day-to-day basis during their school years.
