What is the strength of the museum? The answer can be summarized briefly by listing two strong and distinctive points that define this institution in its essence. The museum is a device that generates time and, on the other hand, operates with the authentic object, giving the possibility of a direct interaction with the reality of visitors. Even in case of considerable intervention by contextualization of the museum object, the visitor has the possibility to establish a direct, present and sufficiently intimate connection with at least a fraction belonging to the object itself, which intervenes in the knowledge of the truth. In contrast stand replicas or copies of objects with which we are continuously bombarded in a time of constant processing and manipulation of reality through computers and their software. In this paper I argue for the two fundamental features of the museum and I try to prove that they have an indispensable role from a cultural point of view, which cannot be replaced by other media, considered by some, competitors.

The article examines Vesna Parun’s journey to Bulgaria as a mental construction, whose optical framework is the meeting ground of the dialogue about borders and identities, about surmounting time and space, about the physical and its metaphysical dimension, about escape and return. Immersed in the waters of the “inner self”, the author focuses on suggestion in order to invigorate intuition and unravel the essence of her own existence. The brainchild of her deep self-reflection and philosophical insights, her contact with Bulgarian topoi, artists, historical and cultural realities is presented as an ontological route that is a rationale for creative inspiration and a condition for spiritual resurrection.

In Croatian literature, there is a long tradition of travelogues from South Slavic countries. In this work, three travelogues of Vesna Parun, the great Croatian poet of the 20th century, are interpreted. Vesna Parun lived in Bulgaria for several years in the 1960s. In her book of essays, travelogues and feuilletons, Nedovršeni mozaik (1990), three Bulgarian travelogues were published: “More bez sunčevih zalazaka”, “Djevojčica i vjetar” and “Probuđeni bakrorez”.

This article is the third part of the series “60 years of the Medical University of Varna”. The period under review begins in 1977 with the inauguration of the new leadership of the Medical Faculty of Varna, with Dean Prof. Dr Garabed Husebikyan Kaprelyan. From 10.01.1979, the Medical Faculty of Varna was reorganized into a Higher Medical Institute, within the Medical Academy (MA) of Sofia, and prof. Dr Garabed Kaprelian was elected Rector (1979 - 1983). During his terms of ofice, the construction of a series of new units was completed: the first modern hospital complex in Bulgaria, built specifically for the treatment of mentally ill patients, with five wards and 350 beds, new diagnostic-treatment and hygiene-epidemiological structures, with their own buildings. New laboratories and sectors were opened as well. The joint work between the Varna Мedical Institute and the Varna Primary District Hospital was expanded. An afiliated faculty of the Varna Medical Institute was opened in the town of Tolbukhin (today Dobrich), for the training of medical students from the third to the sixth year, thus increasing the contribution of Varna Medical Institute (VMI) to raising the level of health care in North-Eastern Bulgaria. From 20.VI.1983 to 27.IV.1987 the Rector of VMI was Prof. Dr. Vanko Nachev Vankov. During his term of ofice the construction of the surgical corpus in Dobrich town was completed which were the structures of the surgical departments of the afiliated faculty, thus increasing the level of surgical care in the Dobrudja region and improving the conditions for students education. On 29.X.1986, the most modern of its time hospital structure of the Varna Medical Institute was oficially opened with 733 beds and a training campus, adjacent to the previously built hospital complex for the treatment of mentally ill. This created a powerful treatment and diagnostic complex with 1290 beds and 103 places for short hospital stay. VMI Varna established itself as an authoritative center of medical education, with a decisive impact on the improvement of healthcare in North-Eastern Bulgaria, receiving public recognition for its 25 years contribution to medical science, practice and education.

Industry 5.0 requires an innovative approach in every area of life, requiring us to think about protecting the environment, creating quality of life and increasing efficiency in industry. Despite the conflicting feelings it arouses in the discussions about the new place of man in the labor market, all experts agree that a qualitatively new approach is needed in the training of personnel who can quickly adapt to emerging changes. The presented research discusses the changes that occur as a result of Industry 5.0 and provides guidance for the training of personnel in higher education institutions through the creation of university clubs, where a direct connection between students, employers and teachers/researchers is made. As a result, a synergistic effect should be obtained from the accumulation of knowledge, skills and competences, which will increase the employability of young people, encourage the development of scientific products dictated by the needs of the industry and increase the competitiveness of partner companies.

This article presents a dynamic determined factor analysis of labour productivity in the Bulgarian energy subsector for the period 2013 – 2022. The purpose of this article is to reveal the quantitative influences of the factors operating revenues and number of employed persons on the development of the indicator labour productivity in the Bulgarian energy subsector through the averaged chain substitution method. The quantitative influences of operating revenues and number of employed persons on the deviation of the labour productivity indicator in the energy subsector are outlined. The results of the deterministic factor analysis make it possible to draw reasonable conclusions and to reveal the trends in the development of the factors operating revenues and number of employed persons, as well as the indicator of labour productivity in the Bulgarian energy subsector.

The specific force characteristics of state power structures play a major role when shaping the political and economic dynamics. They influence the processes of decision-making and they definitively define the distribution of public resources in each and every country or a group of formally united states.In this article, we will try to analyze how and in what way should be applied educational strategies for studying the complex interplay between the dynamic characteristics of the force structures of power, paying special attention to their formal and informal mechanisms of influence from different perspectives. Through analysis and subsequent synthesis of known theoretical frameworks, and based on empirical research, we will define a complex understanding of how power manifests itself both on the basis of formal organizational hierarchies and through contemporary informal social networks.The suggested research framework is based on the methodology of change, which is “enlightened” through the so-called architectural approach. This approach is applied inclusively in the complex and intricate dynamics of educational strategies, promoting its more equitable distribution of the power functions in the hierarchies of society as a whole and defining wider frameworks for coercive influence, through modern information and communication technologies.

The system for collection, assessment and exchange of data on chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) situation, operating in the Armed Forces, has characteristics that predetermine the possibility of its optimization and its transformation into a system for early warning, notification and monitoring of CBRN contamination, meeting the modern requirements of the troops. There are certain imperfections in the operation of the system related to the long time required for processing and exchanging information, as well as to the reliability and credibility of the transmitted data. They are caused by the unrealized horizontal information links between the system elements, its inability to function as an integrated communication, information and functional structure and the absence of automated devices for determining the wide range of threats.
