One of the first projects of the Science Archive at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences is the “Digital Archive Marin Drinov” (http://www.math.bas.bg/digi/drinov/archiv.html). It was realized in cooperation with the department of Applied Information Technologies in the Humanities at the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. The project began back in 2006 with the scanning of 24 archival units (176 facsimiles of manuscripts, 14 printings and 15 black and white photos) from fond № 104K of the Science Archive. It is worth mentioning that the digitalization of a personal archival fond is the first of its kind in Bulgaria with respect to the technological, methodological, and classification merits of the digitalized information. The future plans of the team that undertook this project are closely related to the systematic updating of published information, in terms of quantity and thematic content, with documents reflecting the life and work of M. Drinov which are kept in the fonds of the Science Archive. This project is still viable in 2014, a year marking the 145th anniversary of the Bulgarian Literary Society (now the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.)

In this paper we aim to illustrate the conditions and especially the purposes of the didactic speech as part of academic discourse. During the teaching process the speech has a determined structure, a distinctive semantic and successfully transform the mind and behavior of the pupil or the student. It is a tool that must have an equal significance in order to produce the desired effect; it is a social act with formative value.

The computer collation project was originally conceived with the narrow purpose of providing a mechanism for identifying the textual tradition of the Curzon and Banica menologies by comparing them against a wide variety of contemporaneous and older Slavic menologies. It became clear, however, that the same corpus and search program that would permit the comparative analysis of these two individual menology texts could also be employed more broadly to collate the corpus by specific textual patterns, in this way establishing a typology of medieval Slavic menology traditions which could be used, together with the text corpus itself, by other scholars both as a framework for analysis of any given menology manuscript, and as a means of tracing manuscript relationships.

In this essay we intend to underline the importance of bibliographies, in the scientific research process. We aim to emphasize the capability of these works to gather, synthesize in a distinctive manner, types of sources, resources, documents, so that spheres of scientific knowledge benefit of a clear and objective image at a definite moment. Our intention in this approach is to discuss the necessity to create standardized synthesis of the scientific domains through bibliographies, in order to support basic literacy needs of the readers and to offer a global view of the topic explored. A less treated aspect in the scientific literature that we aim to highlight in the present paper is the role and pragmatics of bibliographies, the transdisciplinary dimension of such tools that now, in the globalised era has the power to send the researcher in the virtual space of interconnected documents, of digital archives and libraries offering a comprehensive picture of the subjects investigated.

The article draws attention to two lesser known lines written in Glagolitic which are part of the Epilogue to Pamvo Berynda’s Triod Cvetnaja, printed in Kiev in 1631. Thanks to their typographic realisation, these two lines seem to have been mainly considered „an ornament“ or a „cryptographic“ element of the text in older literature. The article presents the Glagolitic text in standard Unicode encoding, so it becomes electronically searchable as such, along with a transliteration and a translation. It turns out that the Glagolitic text is nearly identical to the self-descriptions famout printer Pamvo Berynda had used before (although in Cyrillic). Another question put forth in the paper is the provenience of the actual printing types used in Kiev in 1631. A comparision shows that the letters look similar – but not identical – to printing type used around the same time Italy (Rome, Venice) or by Primož Trubar in the century before. The typographic quality of the Kievan types is, however, inferior.

Abstract (sometimes called summary) of a scientific publication is a brief text that contains keywords. It is one of the elements of a bibliographic description in the bibliographic database iSybislaw – a modern information retrieval system. In the paper definitions of terms such as abstract, annotation and summary along with their constitutive elements are presented. A characteristics of such short texts inserted in the iSybislaw database in the fields Abstract and Abstract 2 is also given. Based on some examples excerpted from the iSybislaw system a typology of short texts, which are elements of the database bibliographic description, is proposed. The material allows to list three kinds of texts that are being used in the iSybislaw database: annotations, abstracts and biographic annotations.

Based on recent research in literary criticism, primarily a preoccupation for the literary response among the readers (students) in the academic milieu, this article attempts to propose different perspectives and discuss various levels of interpretation of dystopian fiction - going beyond the cliches that for instance have lead throughout the years to its confusion with the science fiction genre - reclaiming an increasing need for a specialized bibliography. We contend these literary works entail peculiar ethical considerations and ultimately they require a specific methodology close to a psychonarratological approach, namely empirical.

In this study we examine the occurrences and correspondences of terms for affinal kinship in a Bulgarian–Ukrainian parallel corpus of fiction. All instances of the terms selected for study, matching and non-matching, were located and counted, and the frequencies compared. Some of the asymmetries found may have roots in culture and history whilst others reflect diverse features of language and the practice of literary translation.

Many men of education run away to European cities after the invasion of the entire Balkan Peninsula. The ideals of humanism and renaissance were affirmed, thanks to their intelligence, which brought the Greek-Roman classicism to the top of the fields of literature and art. This paper will present the works of brothers Gjon (Giovanni) and Pal (Paolo) Gazulli, the poet Michele Marulli, the writer Marin Barleti (Marino Barlezio), the philosopher Leonik Tomeu, the painter Vittore Carpaccio, excelled with their talent and works in the city of Venice. The Albanian community needed a fortune to compete with groups from other nations, with the Dalmatians among many. They needed to decorate the premises of their association with precious objects and paintings: there is proof of this in the paintings of Vittore Carpaccio, in the first years of the XVIth century. Carpaccio‟s works are important, they present, in the cycle “Stories of St. Ursula”, the uniform of Albanian soldiers serving the Republic of Venice.

This paper is focused on the theory, standards and good practices in digitization of archival documents, as implemented in the Scientific Archive at the National Institute of Archeology with Museum (SA of NIAM-BAS). We explored metadata standards for archival documentation ISAD, EAD and “universal” cultural metadata standard Dublin Core trying to choose the best fit for representing of all the fields of SA of NIAM to de facto “standard”, used in NIAM-BAS since the 60s. The archival documentation of archeological museum is very specific and contains five different types of documents: scientific report, field diary, field inventory book, photographic documentation and graphic documentation. The results and current annotation specifics are explained. Perspectives for future information system development are outlined.

In practice, the high quality of educational processes and content can hardly be achieved and maintained without monitoring. And since tracking the results is not enough, it is necessary to find existing flaws and identify their causes. In this paper, it is argued that even small data sets such as students' test results can provide valuable information useful to improve further iterations of teaching and learning outcomes verification processes and educational materials. Next, the appropriateness of graphical analysis for this purpose is pointed out taking its simplicity even for non-statisticians and its ability to visualize entire small data sets with high precision into account. However, the primary aim of this paper is to provide practical examples showing that the Python programming language (with a selection of specialized modules) can be used in a convenient and effective manner for graphical analysis of small educational data sets. For the purpose of demonstration case study, actual test results were used. Analysis examined: correctness and confidence of students answering respective test questions, correlations between results based on question type and relevant content area, and also similarities of answers given by different students. Also, a Python-based software environment for graphical analysis has been compared to Microsoft Excel.
