The purpose of this paper is to make a contribution to the clarification of certain aspects regarding the origins of the Lipovans, the Russian-speaking minority group found on the territory of Romania, which have been long rumoured to be of Cossack origin. Despite having emigrated and cut off contact with their native lands, they have managed to maintain a distinct identity, culture and language over the centuries of separation from their ancestral lands, whilst also managing to integrate well into the new cultural context initially encountered in Ottoman-ruled Dobruja, and in Romania, later. The paper comprises a presentation of the historical contexts that have led to the migration of Russian speakers westwards, reaching the territory of modern-day Romania and the influence they have exerted on said territories. It includes specific cultural and linguistic exemplifications supporting the Cossack origin thesis of the Lipovan population of Dobruja.

This book explores the notion of heroism from the feminist point of view by tackling notions such as curiosity and knowledge, deeds (masculine approach) vs stories (feminine approach), creativity (at the beginning limited to the domestic area) and inquisitiveness. It also reveals uncomfortable truths about how abuse, abduction, mutilation and torture forced women into silence. Moreover, the author points out that words have the power to resist injustice and that feminine heroism means the courage to break the silence and start telling ‘your’ story through different channels (weavings, books, social media etc).

The article offers the results of an interdisciplinary study, in which an innovative astronomical and photogrammetrical approach is applied for the study of the Round Church of medieval Preslav. A well-grounded hypothesis is presented for the beginning of the construction, as well as the specification of the saint to whom the temple is dedicated. It is proposed that the day when the orientation of the temple was determined in relation to the directions of the world was September 26, CE 893. Respectively, the saint to whom the Round Church is dedicated is St. John the Apostle. The proposed method of dating the medieval construction of a church by applying photogrammetrical photography and building a digital altitude model and ortho-photo plan, combined with the conducting of archeo-astronomical simulations, could also be used in the research of other temples for which it is initially clear which saint they are dedicated to.

The paper investigates cognitive dissonance in the context of online shopping of electronic products. The study attempts to analyze the influence of product involvement and perceived risks on cognitive dissonance. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is one of the first studies to assess the impact of perceived risks on cognitive dissonance in the online purchase of electronic products in an emerging and thriving market like India. This study contributes significantly in understanding online buying behavior in electronics product category which is currently growing exponentially due to the pandemic. The study further analyzes the impact of cognitive dissonance on satisfaction. It also attempts to address the impact of satisfaction on repurchase intention and Electronic Word of Mouth (EWOM). The study analyzed the reaction of 716 respondents to a structured self-administered questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM).The study reveals that cognitive dissonance significantly impacts satisfaction and satisfaction largely impacts repurchase intention and EWOM. The study further shows that product involvement influences cognitive dissonance. On the other hand, perceived risks did not have a significant relationship with cognitive dissonance.

The article presents the development of the concept of a library cooperation in the world and in Bulgaria, from its inception until today. Special attention is paid to the creation of the first library consortium for cooperative database subscription – Bulgarian Information Consortium. Its 20-year history and main aspects of activity, applied governance modes and achieved results are tracked. The conclusion about the possible, albeit difficult to achieve, success of private initiatives for a library cooperative is substantiated.

The history of libraries from Transylvania can also be investigated from the perspective of Transylvania as a border nation. If we examine over time, Transylvania was a border nation, and this frontier attempted to meet the civilisation degree of the centre. This research tackles some book collections that entered Transylvania due to the collector activity of Transylvania’s bishop, Ignác Batthyány. It is the book collection that formed what currently is known as “library of Johannes Henckel”, “library of cardinal Christophor Migazzi”. The two collections reached the current holdings of the Batthyaneum Library in the ‘80s of the XVIIIth century. We do not know exactly how the bishop came to know about the first library, that of Johannes Henckel. The second, well known in the capital of the Empire, was bought after a series of negotiations that brought Imre Dániel, the future librarian of the Transylvanian prelate, to the fore. Both libraries hold essential holdings of works purchased for the library to be established in Alba Iulia, a small town like the region it was part of, on the outskirts of the Hapsburg Empire. We also draw attention to a possible acquisition, probably partial, of some books that belonged to the Slovak scholar Adám František Kollár. This question mark regarding Kollár's books hovers until the book holdings of the Batthyaneum Library are processed in a catalogue also containing the owners of the books.

Dictionaries in Arabic, Turkish, Persian, and Bosnian that were created and used in Bosnia from the 16th to the 19th century are an indispensable segment of the Bosnian lexicographic tradition. Based on the researchers and analysis of the form, language, methodology, questions of authorship, and reception of the dictionaries stored in the institutional manuscript collections of Bosnia and Herzegovina, it is possible to talk about the dominant lexicographic trends and practices during the Ottoman rule in these areas and to determine the contribution of these manuscripts works and their authors to the development and continuity of the lexicographical tradition. The research base for this work was manuscript collections stored in public cultural and scientific institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina: Gazi Husrev-bey Library, National and University Library of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bosniak Institute – Adil Zulfikarpašić Foundation, Oriental Institute of the University of Sarajevo, Sarajevo Historical Archives, The Cantonal Archives Travnik, The Cantonal Archives Tuzla, The General Library of Tešanj, Herzegovina Museum Mostar and Herzegovina Archives Mostar.

Unfortunately, instead of celebrating the end of the pandemic, 2022 have brought probably the largest refugee crisis we have faced since the 2nd World War. Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine began in February, some 7 million Ukrainians have taken to the roads and sought refuge in neighbouring countries. At the same time, we have seen a large segment of the population displaced within the country during the invasion, which affected especially the northern and eastern regions of the country.

Türkiye, coğrafi konumu sebebiyle, tarih boyunca göç hareketleriyle karşı karşıya kalmış bir ülkedir. Son yıllarda artan göç ve özellikle de 2011 sonrası, Suriye’den gelen göçle beraber, gerek göçmen sayısı gerekse göç üzerine yürütülen çalışmaların sayısı hızla artmıştır. Birleşmiş Milletler Genel Kurulu’nun göç ve sığınma hareketleri konusunda farkındalığın artmasını amaçlayarak 2001 tarihinden itibaren 20 Haziran’ı Dünya Mülteciler Günü olarak benimsemiştir. Türkiye de, bu karar çerçevesinde, mültecilerin hakları konusunda farkındalık oluşturmak amacıyla 20 Haziran’da Dünya Mülteciler Günü’nü çeşitli etkinliklerle kutlamaktadır.

This research has as a starting point some information discovered in the library catalogues where reference is made to the existence of duplicate incunabula in the book holdings. They are catalogues drawn up after the death of the library’s founder, bishop Ignác Batthyány (+ 1798) by the second librarian, András Cseresnyés. Following the bishop’s death, the Government of Transylvania also requested the inventory of the book holdings and writing catalogues to know the exact holdings considering the lawsuit filed by the family of the deceased bishop.On this occasion, librarian A. Cseresnyés drew up several catalogues to which he also added that of the duplicates existent at that time. Among the duplicates are mentioned a series of incunabula which over time were given in exchange (in 1826) or sold (between 1930 and 1931) due to financial difficulties. Of those discovered to date, only the bishop-founder had incunabula in his collection. Of these, several tens with lacks, damp stains, fragmented etc were removed from the initial holdings. The library needs a new incunabulum catalogue to contain maybe also a short description of the circulation of each copy till Transylvania; similarly, it also needs to find out, if possible, about the potential local collectors, especially local private individuals, for example from the Saxon Transylvanian area. The incunabulum collection held by the bishop founder of the institute from Alba Iulia was amassed in different ways; all of them left traces on the works such as ownership marks.The study also tackles the works or articles written in Romania concerning the incunabulum collection of the Batthyaneum Library to offer, we hope, a starting point for researching the holdings and, perhaps, for writing a new catalogue.

Este artículo presenta las experiencias de las personas con discapacidad al moverse en la Ciudad de México frente al urbanismo capacitista, un sistema de dominación en el que las formas, usos y gestión de la ciudad dan privilegios y atención a las necesidades de las personas consideradas “capaces”, con “cuerpos completos”, “inteligentes” o “sanas”. Se presenta un estudio de casos con información que se recolectó por medio de entrevistas móviles y observación participante de las movilidades. El análisis se realizó utilizando la Teoría Crip y referentes de los estudios críticos en discapacidad. Entre los hallazgos se encuentra que el urbanismo capacitista afecta a diversidad de cuerpos, incluidos los de las personas con discapacidad, pero, además, a muchas otras poblaciones. Esto evidencia que las ciudades benefician la habitabilidad de ciertos grupos en función de su clase y género.

Los incontables problemas urbanos de la actualidad encuentran una explicación en la racionalidad del funcionamiento capitalista, en específico en la personificación del capital inmobiliario, pues su reproducción en los últimos años ha sido sumamente significativa. Esto nos obliga a situar en el centro del análisis urbano, algunas categorías económicas específicas ligadas a la Economía Política marxista; nos refererimos puntualmente a los conceptos de Renta Urbana (y su determinante princicipal, el Precio del suelo) y al ambiente construido, el cual incide directamente en aquélla para cerrar un círculo virtuoso de valorización y obtención de sobre-ganancias a partir de altos precios de las mercancías bienes inmuebles que inundan gran parte de la oferta edilicia de la ciudades contemporáneas. Un entendimiento sistemático y teóricamente articulado a actividades del sector inmobiliario (la vivienda, las oficinas y el retail) y de su funcionamiento dentro del sistema capitalista, nos puede ayudar a comprender los actuales procesos urbanos.

In order to improve the efficiency, accountability and transparency of the judiciary and to create a modern and comprehensible judicial system in modern conditions, especially during the state of emergency caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, it is necessary to upgrade the existing ones or build modern information systems for the judicial system. The application of these systems in cyber courtrooms, in criminal proceedings and in the judicial system as a whole would allow: optimization of human resources; rationalization of financial resources; automation; reducing, as far as possible, the impact of the human factor on the effectiveness of the judiciary; reduction of paper documentation and introduction of electronic data and their electronic exchange between the judicial authorities and other state institutions; and protecting the health and safety of people during an emergency. Such changes require a normative determination of "different conditions for conducting" the criminal proceedings and their introduction into the positive legal framework.

The bitcoin is an innovative currency that is not regulated by governments like any other cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrencies can make payments very quickly and at almost no cost. One of the advantages of bitcoin is the fact that the virtual currency avoids the main problem inherent in conventional currencies, namely inflation. One of the big advantages is anonymity. Nobody knows how much bitcoin a person owns. It is also not known what transactions make and a new way to avoid paying taxes.

In today’s modern society, the possibilities of committing terrorist acts have significantly expanded. Information and information technologies are already being used to plan crimes or even to remove the traces of already committed ones. They are also being used for disinformation, blackmailing, racketeering, and terrorism. By doing so, the terrorists are in a position to endanger even the management of military forces and the national security of a large number of countries.

The global climate crisis poses an existential threat to the natural ecosystem and the entire humanity, while new effects (Covid-19, war in Ukraine, etc.) and factors increase the risk to national security and public stability in the EU countries and beyond. The most important global challenge of our time has prompted the formation of climate change management policies around the world; international agreements have been concluded for this purpose. In 2015 the Paris Agreement was signed and the United Nations General Assembly approved the United Nations Agenda for Sustainable Development until 2030. The goal 13 "Take urgent action to combat climate change and its effects" and tasks for the implementation of this goal were established and approved by the EU legal acts. The European Green Deal was initiated to define the EU's vision of creating a climate-neutral economy by 2050. Those interested in climate change and the green course often raise the question of whether everything possible has been done to prevent (stop) or eliminate climate "erosion" processes. To climate change sceptics, these documents or efforts may seem excessive (and expensive), but it is important to determine whether the full-fledged, comprehensive or targeted communication is available in the EU, whether the dissemination of public information about the processes of the green deal is sufficient and what the management of this information entails. This is because information management is one of the most important components of the successful implementation of the Green Deal. The supreme audit institutions of the EU countries conducted assessment of EU countries in preparation for the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The assessment of the public's knowledge and understanding of the EU green deal was performed using a uniform, approved and generally accepted control model. The article aims to analyse the role of information management in implementation of the Green Deal in the EU and the US by distinguishing the 2020-2022 period of global COVID-19 pandemic based on a Lithuanian case study.

Since the end of the 20th century, museum institutions have been adopting the logic of communication, promotion, and administration typical of cultural industries, mainly Cinema. In 1994, Andreas Huyssen argued that the museum, as an elitist place of preservation of canon and high culture, gave way to the museum as a mass medium. Cinema became the paradigm of contemporary cultural activities whose new exhibition practices respond to the changing expectations of the public and their constant search for stellar events.This process is evident in the increasing use of banners, marquees, and all manner of resources aimed at promoting the temporary exhibitions gaining their place as the main attractions of art museums. Moreover, with the advent of social media, the phenomenon of cinefication of the museum has accelerated. Exhibitions are now titled, conceived, promoted, and distributed as films, while artists, adorned by the figure of the genius, are presented as parts of the art history star system.In order to highlight this phenomenon, we present an analysis of the programming and promotion of temporary exhibitions at Tate Modern, the paradigm of 21st-century museums. This institution not only titles its exhibitions in a cinematographic manner but also produces trailers and posts them on its website and social media. Our work focuses on one exhibition in particular: Picasso 1932, Love, Fame, Tragedy. To this end we observed both the curatorial discourse and the communication strategies applied by Tate. This paper is part of a research project that includes MoMA, Malba, Centre Pompidou, and Reina Sofia. The study of this phenomenon will provide an overview of the epochal style of modern art museums in the conception and communication of modern and contemporary art exhibitions.
