  • Regional Disparities in Bulgaria Today: Economic, Social, and Demographic Challenges
    REGIONAL DISPARITIES IN BULGARIA TODAY: ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, AND DEMOGRAPHIC CHALLENGES Sylvia S. Zarkova, PhD Student1 D. A. Tsenov Academy of Economics – Svishtov, Department of Finance and Credit Abstract: To accelerate Bulgaria's economic development taking into account the specific characteristics of their regions is a serious challenge for the local governments in the country. The ongoing political and economic changes require a reassessment of the country's economic development. The aim of this study was to analyse the disparities among Bulgaria’s regions (de- fined in accordance with the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS)) by assessing the degree of economic, social and demographic chal- lenges they face and performing a multivariate comparative analysis with sets of statistically significant indicators. The analysis clearly outlines the bounda- ries of the regional disparities and the need to improve the country’s regional and cohesion policies. Key words: regional policy, differences, NUTS, taxonomic develop- ment measure.

The program was initiated in 2011. Currently IEP is one of the largest student mobility programs offered by the technological universities of India. Since the inception of the program, more than 1500 students have been ben- efited through IEP. GTU has signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with more than 30 renowned universities of USA, Canada, Europe, Russia, Asia and Africa and now Europe. GTU students go for studies to the foreign universi- ties for 6 to 8 weeks during the summer. It is a comprehensive international ex- perience program designed exclusively for GTU students across the branches of Engineering, Management (MBA), Pharmacy and Computer Science (MCA) with a constant progress towards making sure that it gradually expands to all the other departments of the University. This year marks another such progressive step forward for Gujarat Technological University as the University has been successful in adding Architecture in the In- ternational Experience Program- 2018. Under this, students of final year of Bach- elor’s of Architecture were sent to the University of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy(UACEG). UACEG is situated in Sofia - the capital city of an Eastern European country - BULGARIA. A month long International Experience Program started on the June 1st, 2018, from Ahmedabad was to continue till July 1st, 2018.

  • The Life and Passions of Sinful Sophronius (1804): First Complete English Translation
    Bulgarian Studies 2 (2018) THE LIFE AND PASSIONS OF SINFUL SOPHRONIUS (1804): FIRST COMPLETE ENGLISH TRANSLATION Anita Kasabova, Sofia University Introduction Sophronius of Vratsa (1739–1813), born Stoyko Vladislavov, was a Bulgarian Orthodox priest and a leading figure in the early Bulgarian National Revival. He was anointed bishop of Vratsa in 1794 and released from this office several years later but was canonized as a saint in 1964. The Life and Passions of Sinful Sophronius is the first Bulgarian autobiography and one of the first texts written in Modern Bulgarian (V. Karateodorov, 1940:8; V. Dimitrova, 2006:12; P. Anchev, 2009:86). It provides a first-person perspective on the Ottoman occupation of Bulgaria and the first Russo-Turkish war, and reads like a Balkan version of Don Quixote. Sophronius breaks with the traditional genre of Old Bulgarian texts, namely the Vita or Zhitie, a hagiographic account which describes the life and deeds of a saint as an inspirational story. “Times are changing and we change with them” was written inside the cover of Sophronius’ collected manuscripts (1805).1 We may ask why he wrote his life-story. Dimitrova (2006:7) surmises that Sophronius may have wished to transmit a documentary of the times and his life, to rehabilitate himself in the eyes of subsequent generations, or even to present a fictional version of life in 19th-century Bulgaria. I agree with Dimitrova (2006: 7) and N. Randow (1979:72) that Sophronius’ account does not follow the stylized form of the Vita, as his narrative is comprised of personal and picaresque episodes that relate his hardships in an anecdotic and humorous manner.

Biodiversity Data Journal 9: e63729. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.9.e63729 Abstract Considered extinct as breeding species in the early 2000s, the Saker Falcon was recovered when the first active nest from the new history of the species in Bulgaria was discovered in 2018, formed of two birds that were re-introduced back in 2015. Currently, there is only one confirmed wild breeding pair in the country - the male from 2015 with a female changed in 2020, released again as a part of the programme, in 2016. This is a report on the preliminary results and analysis of the ongoing establishment phase of the re- introduction of the Saker Falcon (Falco cherrug) in Bulgaria - first ever performed for this species in the country and globally. The period studied is 2015-2020. Following the re- introduction activities started in 2011, the current phase is defined by standardised methodology and a unified approach.
