Relevance of the research topic. Research actuality is predefined by that question of process control of reforms and decentralization of power for the sake of providing of steady development of country the reformation of educational industry is inalienably related to the process. Implementation of strategic tasks of reformation of the system of education, that will provide the increase of its quality and competitiveness, possibility of integration in European and world educational space, are possible only on condition of sufficiency of financial resources for its functioning and development. Thus the problem of sufficiency of the financial support of education remains actual on the modern stage of reformation of administrative-territorial system of the country. Formulation of the problem. One of the forms of financial participation of the state is educational subvention in providing education quality. Educational subvention is funds allocated from the state budget according to a special formula for financing educational institutions. The operating mechanism of its accrual can not be considered optimal. As a result - the volume of educational subvention does not provide a requirement in facilities on the remuneration of labour of pedagogical workers in the field of general secondary education on a due level. Analysis of recent research and publications. Modern aspects of solving the problems of decentralization and reforming the administrative-territorial system in the country are studied by such scientists as Pavlyuk A. P., Oliynyk D. I., Batalov O. A., Datsko O. I., Murkovych L. L., Molodozhen Yu. B. etc. [1-4]. The results of our own research on the problem are given in [5-11]. Selection of unexplored parts of the general problem. As there is a problem of imperfection of determination of educational subvention volume, the consequence of which is lack of money for maintenance of general secondary education in united territorial communities (UTC) on a due level, there is a need for solving the problem of development of system mechanisms of management education financing, as pre-conditions of quality educational services and steady development of society. Problem statement, research goals. By the above-mentioned circumstances the expediency of determination of ways of optimization of the system of calculation of educational subvention volumes is predefined, that would allow to provide the sufficient level of financing of education in united territorial communities (UTC), as the basis of steady development of the UTC. Method and methodology of research. In the process of conducting research, general scientific (analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, analytical grouping) and special (abstraction, modeling, etc.) methods of studying economic phenomena and processes were used. Presentation of the main material (results of work). A study of efficiency of distribution of educational subvention mechanism between local budgets is conducted on the basis of formula that takes into account many indexes. According to the results of 2018, the following pattern was established: the difference between the actual and estimated class size in a unit is converted at the end of the year in 1 thousand UAH surplus / deficit of educational subvention per student. Imperfection of formula of calculation of sizes of educational subvention is well-proven. It is set that substantial disproportions are, when in one local budgets the educational subvention volumes are sufficient for the legislatively set remuneration of labour, while in others - allowances for the prestige of pedagogical work are reduced, management of offices and workshops and replacement of temporarily absent teachers are not paid, salaries are not provided on time, pedagogical workers are warned about reduction of allowances in the coming months. To imperfection of operating mechanism of educational subvention, data of the analysis of situation conducted by us testify in relation to financing of educational sphere in the Zaporizhzhya area. Conclusions. A study of level of financial sufficiency of educational subvention on the example of the Zaporizhzhya area was conducted, and inefficiency of operating mechanism of financing of education in united territorial communities (UTC) was revealed. It is set that as a result of making alteration to the Budgetary and Tax codes practical steps are done in direction of budgetary decentralization, substantial changes took place in interbudgetary relations and filling of local budgets due to the redistribution of sources of tax receivables between the different levels of the system. But more detailed analysis of possible consequences of realization of some mechanisms specifies on that they restrain development of united territorial communities (UTC), create the threat of them to financial possibility and assist maintenance of inequality and disproportions in development of territories and do impossible providing of steady development to the country. Such an inefficient mechanism is, in our opinion, the current mechanism for providing educational subventions. It is well-proven that one of the reasons, that results in the deficit of educational subvention, next to the optimized not enough network of establishments and presence of schools/of classes with small filled, there is imperfection of formula of distribution of educational subvention that does not take into account part of envisaged normatively-legal acts Ministry of Education and Science educational services in secondary education. Therefore, the volume of the education subvention needs to be revised and the distribution formula improved.

Relevance of scientific research. Linguists have a strong interest in dialectologscal problems, especially in the study of communicative speech, creating dictionaries, monographic descriptions of separate dialects. Dialect is a unit of the national language that preserves the purity of folk sources, the depth of folk wisdom, inexhaustible experience and optimism of generations. The purpose of the paper is to analyze the phonetic and grammatical features of the Yuzhynets dialect of the Kitsman district of the Chernivtsi region, which, according to K.F. German's classification, belongs to the Bukovinian-Nadprutski dialects. The novelty of scientific research is that for the first time information about the interrelated levels of the language system of a specific Bukovynian-nadprutskyi dialect is brought to the scientific system. The language system is a hierarchical construction in which each level (phonetic, lexical, morphemic and grammatical) has its own self-sufficient significance.

In recent decades the proliferation of museums and the transformation of their activities have become the subjects of debate in the western research. However, there are few studies aimed at understanding of museumification process in Russia. The study of the phenomenon of museumification is relevant due to orientation of the province at tourism development as the means of regional development. The author analyzes the role of museums in the local community and in the attraction of tourists and describes the changes in urbane space and temporal order of social life as the effects of museumification of Russian small towns. On the base of empirical observations the author emphasizes the most significant forms of museumification and defines the limits of this process: everyday practices and the difficult past seem to be its impediments. The research is based on the data collected during the field work in the towns Myshkin and Kargopol.

This article is based on photographic images as the sole evidence of the visage of temporary artworks. An object of interest is the monumental decoration put up on the occasion of May Day, International Workers’ Day in 1945, in Sofia, Bulgaria’s capital. A parallel is drawn between the images of sculptures, captured in nine photos from the photographic archive of Todor Slavchev (1900–1992), and information in records from the archives of the Union of Bulgarian Artists and major publication on the subject. This paper focuses on problems of art commissioning (mainly public) and art-commission relation, as well as on the structures and the organisation of art practices in the decade preceding 9 September 1944. The article seeks to trace the ‘evolutionary’ line in the development of the processes, rather than the ‘revolutionary’ one, proclaimed under socialism. The facts of the report by the evaluating commission on the artwork performed on the occasion of Labour Day are provided in detail, citing the teams and their artworks. The subject of labour was visualised by presenting the main sectors of the then Bulgarian economy: farming (figures of a “Sower” and a “Female harvester”), crafts (“Smith”), mining (“Miner”), industry (“Industrial worker” and “Female tobacco worker”) and construction (“Builder”). War, an undesired, yet existing reality, was also included in the statuaries (“Warrior”) and the still discernible role of intellectuals (“Mental Work”). A figure of a “Partisan” pointed towards the hero of the new era.

Populations of the dominant halophyte circumboreal-polar species Triglochin maritima L. found on the western coast of the White Sea, in the estuaries of the rivers (Kolezhma, Keret’) were studied. Three experimental plots located along the transect line of the coast, which differ by the type of substrate and vegetation were assessed. Different eco-coenotic conditions of the species habitat, including geomorphic shore types, wave actions, mechanical and chemical composition of the substrate, and the types of drainage were observed. The increase in some biometric and population parameters of the T. maritima plants located in the tidal zone of the open coast, on the bay coasts, on muddy-silty and sand-gravel substrates within allocated areas was revealed. These structural features allow T. maritima to adapt dynamically to the unstable conditions of existence in the tidal zone of White Sea.

The changes in climatic conditions of our planet impose a regional-local approach in the study of this problem. It is because in certain regions and countries significant parts of the population are concentrated on relatively limited territory – the big cities.Sofia is one of Europe’s metropolises. Almost 20% of the population of Bulgaria inhabit and work in this city. The characteristics of the climatic temperature regime of Sofia are important for the quality of life in the capital of Bulgaria.The changes in climatic conditions of our planet impose a regional-local approach in the study of this problem.

Introduction. The article is devoted to the problem of insufficient theoretical justification of modeling career guidance in the education system of the region, primarily to identifying foundations of goal-setting. The aim of the study is to identify the features of the leading targets in modeling career guidance in the education system of the region, and to consider the possibility of their simultaneous use in the modeling of career guidance in the education system of the region. Materials and Methods. The study follows paradigmatic, socio-pedagogical and learnercentered approaches. The authors summarize and integrate educational, psychological and sociological theoretical ideas on the problem of this research. Methods of theoretical analysis, comparison, generalization, analysis of infographic representations of models of career guidance are used in order to solve the research problem. Results. Literature analysis enabled the authors to identify the leading constructs used as the basis of goal-setting in the models of career guidance in the educational system of the region (choosing a career, professional self-determination, career growth, professionalism), and to clarify their content characteristics. The construct ‘choosing a career’ focuses on a personal specific result; ‘professional self-determination’ deals with the process of personal and professional development through making meaningful decisions, involving a possibility of a career choice. ‘Career growth’ concentrates on the process of movement to social understanding of profession success. ‘Professionalism’ implies self-transformation in the interests of the profession not only in terms of technological readiness, but also personal compliance and moral attitudes. The authors proposed a way of coordinating the main targets of modeling career guidance in the education system of the region: a) the ideal goal (strategic goal) is defined through the formation of professionalism (at the personal level); orientation to career planning and career growth (in broad connotations) can be included in the structure of professionalism; b) the goal as the expected result of career guidance practices (tactical goal) is defined through professional self-determination. Conclusions. The authors conclude that the appropriate selection of target foundations contribute to clarifying qualitative characteristics of career guidance models in the education system of the region. Based on selecting leading constructs within the target setting, a typology of regional models and evaluation of their qualitative effectiveness can be made. The variants of combining leading constructs allow to define priorities, which determine the main direction and specifies organizational and methodological content of the model.

Danube-Morava axis and its centers, as the most important integrative element of the Serbia geo-space, has the significant role in the contemporary development processes. Characteristics of the centers, defined the stages of the towns development, as well as the expressed issues were the basis for defining goals of the development centers and their territorial organization. However, this development axis could produce uncoordination of the territorial organization with functional areas of the centers, especially on the local level.

The text presented is dealing with the current transformations of the Europeanised public spheres. The author argues that depending on the level of presence of the current European debates in the national public sphere, we can highlight centre and periphery and in parallel with the process of Europeanisation, the opposite process is also taking place – a process of peripheralization. Besides the theoretical arguments, the book presents the results of a comparative analysis of 2014 European elections` media coverage in the most popular newspaper websites in Bulgaria and the UK (February-June 2014). 3356 publications from 8 media outlets (The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, The Independent, Daily Mail, 24chasa.bg, Dnevnik.bg, Trud.bg and Segabg.com) have been coded and analyzed.

“The Gypsies are our own, domestic problem” is a phrase attributed to the long-term former head of the old communist Bulgarian government, Todor Zhivkov. The government policy towards the Gypsy minority in communist Bulgaria is one of inclusion to the Bulgarian way of life, and its implementation is carefully tailored to the specificities of Bulgaria as a country.It is a little known fact that towards the end of the 1940’s, the Bulgarian Gypsies suddenly turn from a “domestic problem” to something much larger and thus become part of the great confrontation between the two world political camps divided by the Iron Curtain. This takes place during the emigration of the ethnic Bulgarian Turks which starts in 1948, and during which, applications for emigration are filed by both Bulgarian Turks and Muslim Bulgarian Gypsies. It is this latter ethnic minority that becomes the cause for a serious conflict between ‘communist Bulgaria’ and ‘capitalist Turkey’.This paper aims at following the events from the end of the 40’s until end of the 80‘s of the previous century as well as analyzing the consequences of the confrontation between the two neighbouring Balkan countries.

Anthony is a highly honoured saint, considered to be a patron and a defender of various diseases. The church “St. Anthony” in the smallest town in Bulgaria – Melnik – is known exactly for its healing aspect and can be identified as one of the most sacred cult sites in the surroundings, connected with numerous stories of miracles, healings, interesting and rare ritual practices. The modern state and functioning of the church is a complex of different components that build the role and importance of the cult site as a very attractive place for pilgrimage and healing. Besides of the cult of the patron itself, these components include also various miraculous objects, iconographic features, the location of the church, and characteristic stories of miracles, media, and personal representations and interpretations. In this article, I will examine the cult of St. Anthony in the city and church dedicated to him through the prism of two basic elements – miraculous objects or other ones in the church area and beliefs and ritual practices related to them. It is precisely the connection between the different components of the cult site, combining diverse objects of pilgrimage, honoring, and usage, that creates a truly unique context in which this church, the only one in the country until recently dedicated to the St. Anthony, exists. The analysis is based on observations from conducted fieldwork studies in Melnik and bibliographic and online surveys in the period 2016–2018.

The paper presents the extremely interesting bronze coin of the types of round shield // two-handled cup (kypsele, kotyle, diota) (Fig. 1a–1b) discovered in 1996 during the archaeological excavations of the Thracian settlement located in the area of Adzhiyska Vodenitsa near the village (now a town) of Vetren, Septemvri Municipality, better known as “Emporion Pistiros”. Grounded on both informative types known as parasema, the author tries to interpret (issuer and time of minting) this unique bronze issue – an allusion of the Odrysian Royal court from the first half of the 4th c. BC under Seuthes II, Kotys I and their successors via the unambiguous presence of the cult cup – the kypsele or kotyle decorating the reverses of their coins.
