The article attempts to propose a reflexive approach towards the communist legacy in museums. By comparing the trend of decolonization in museums of Western Europe with particular attention to the practices in the Netherlands the author draws attention to the potential solutions and mechanisms for reassessing the traumatic institutional past. The search for new museum identity in the 21st century in Europe reflects the social turbulence and follows an academic critique to reform the institution profoundly. The lack of visitor flow and problematic interaction between Bulgarian state-funded museums and their local audiences are perceived as a signal for the institutional struggle with communist legacies in museological theory and practice. The article pretends to examine the main areas affected by the legacies and to outline the need for post-communist museum studies in Bulgaria, as well as the need for a critical approach towards Bulgarian museums’ identity.

The article discusses the effect of the use of personal-oriented learning (POL) in mathematics education on pupils achievements. Compared to the success of the pupils at the outcome of the Lower Gymnasium Degree (LGD) – 7th grade and National External Evaluation (NEE). The results obtained from NEE are slightly lower compared to the grades when completing the training, but the differences are not statistically proven. The differences in the success of girls with boys and between pupils from Bulgarian and Turkish ethnicities are small and unproven. Between the success of the pupils at the end of the 7th grade and the success of NEE has a high correlation dependence – (r = 0,825***). The strongest influence on the success has the activity of pupil participation in the learning process (92.526% at completion and 89.193% of NEE). On NEE, the number of pupils with high success decreased by 23.40%, while the number of low-grade pupils increased by 52.38%. The results obtained from the conducted NEE in mathematics show a stronger activation of the pupils with lower success and the receipt of higher grades compared to those with higher success.

This article examines two Balkan novels in which memories, as fragments woven into the textual fabricof the autobiographical, define the museum-like narrative structure. The focus of the comparative analysis is onthe female voice, which dynamises the museum as a “place of memory” in the novel through the war theme. Byreplacing the lost home with a kind of a mobile ‘museum-novel’ (as a specific type of novel, the genre of exile),writers such as Gabriela Adameșteanu (Romania) and Dubravka Ugrešić (Croatia) problematize the image ofthe waiting woman Penelope, transforming their novels into a female Odyssey between personal and public,authentic and imaginary, past and present, continuity and discontinuity, myth and history.

The purpose of the article is to shed light on the history of stable phrases of reference in the context of documentary linguistics. The methodology is based on a combination of structural-typological and cognitivediscursive approaches, which made it possible to identify and generalize the main features and differences of language clichés, stamps and documentary formulas; delve into the semantic, structural, linguistic and stylistic spheres of documentation in terms of the feasibility of introducing clichés and stamps into the text. The scientific novelty of the work is to outline the main features of language clichés, typology of clichéd units on various grounds, highlighting the factors that affect the functioning of language stereotypes. identifying trends in the development of stable combinations of documents at the stage of formation. Conclusions. The most productive language constructions in the documentary text are analyzed and described. It is noted that the formation of the language composition of the documentary text of a certain era was due to foreign language factors. Cliché semantics encompasses the whole complex of extralinguistic meanings acquired as a result of the collective experience of mankind and connects the semantic characteristics of the verbal sign with the system of traditions of the people, is objectified by communication and stereotypical linguistic situation. Among the results is what is established: clichés and document formulas are an organic element of the text of documents. It is proved that modern functional studies of documentary linguistics require a certain reorientation of the analysis of language units to the integration of conceptual, linguistic and communicative aspects of the function.

Reflections are presented on the logic of the scoring system of scientific output used as an instrument of the national minimum requirements for acquiring and validating a scientific degree or academic position. On one hand, problems related to logical discrepancies in the scoring system are examined, and on the other hand, the contradictions in which it enters as a measuring instrument of the achieved level of scientific development are considered from the point of view of the requirements of the theory of measurement. In line with the objective set, it is suggested that there are serious imperfections in the scoring system of scientific production that call into question its relevance and logical consistency.
