  • Do Public Fund Windfalls Increase Corruption? Evidence from a Natural Disaster Elena Nikolovaa Nikolay Marinovb 68131 Mannheim A5-6, Germany October 5, 2016
    Do Public Fund Windfalls Increase Corruption? Evidence from a Natural Disaster Elena Nikolovaa Nikolay Marinovb 68131 Mannheim A5-6, Germany October 5, 2016 Abstract We show that unexpected financial windfalls increase corruption in local govern- ment. Our analysis uses a new data set on flood-related transfers, and the associated spending infringements, which the Bulgarian central government distributed to mu- nicipalities following torrential rains in 2004 and 2005. Using information from the publicly available audit reports we are able to build a unique objective index of cor- ruption. We exploit the quasi-random nature of the rainfall shock (conditional on controls for ground flood risk) to isolate exogenous variation in the amount of funds received by each municipality. Our results imply that a 10 % increase in the per capita amount of disbursed funds leads to a 9.8% increase in corruption. We also present suggestive evidence that more corrupt mayors anticipated punishment by voters and dropped out of the next election race. Our results highlight the governance pitfalls of non-tax transfers, such as disaster relief or assistance from international organizations, even in moderately strong democracies.

  • Annex REPORT for 2019 UNDER the “HEALTH CARE” PRIORITY of the NATIONAL ROMA INTEGRATION STRATEGY of the REPUBLIC of BULGAR
    Annex REPORT FOR 2019 UNDER THE “HEALTH CARE” PRIORITY of the NATIONAL ROMA INTEGRATION STRATEGY OF THE REPUBLIC OF BULGARIA 2012 - 2020 Operational objective: A national monitoring progress report has been prepared for implementation of Measure 1.1.2. “Performing obstetric and gynaecological examinations with mobile offices in settlements with compact Roma population”. During the period 01.07—20.11.2019, a total of 2,261 prophylactic medical examinations were carried out with the four mobile gynaecological offices to uninsured persons of Roma origin and to persons with difficult access to medical facilities, as 951 women were diagnosed with diseases. The implementation of the activity for each Regional Health Inspectorate is in accordance with an order of the Minister of Health to carry out not less than 500 examinations with each mobile gynaecological office. Financial resources of BGN 12,500 were allocated for each mobile unit, totalling BGN 50,000 for the four units. During the reporting period, the mobile gynecological offices were divided into four areas: Varna (the city of Varna, the village of Kamenar, the town of Ignatievo, the village of Staro Oryahovo, the village of Sindel, the village of Dubravino, the town of Provadia, the town of Devnya, the town of Suvorovo, the village of Chernevo, the town of Valchi Dol); Silistra (Tutrakan Municipality– the town of Tutrakan, the village of Tsar Samuel, the village of Nova Cherna, the village of Staro Selo, the village of Belitsa, the village of Preslavtsi, the village of Tarnovtsi,

    Silva Balcanica, 16(1)/2015 EPIdIASPIS gENNAdII (HEMIPTERA: Diaspididae) – A NEW HOST OF ZaommA lAmBINUS (HYMENOPTERA: Encyrtidae) Georgi Georgiev, Plamen Mirchev, Margarita Georgieva Forest Research Institute – Sofia Bulgarian Academy of Sciences Peter Boyadzhiev University of Plovdiv Katia Trencheva University of Forestry – Sofia Absract Epidiaspis gennadii was found as a host of Zaomma lambinus in Bulgaria. The samples (parts of Pistacia terebinthus branches) were collected on 7 April 2014 in the region of Madzharovo in Eastern Rhodopes. In laboratory conditions, one female specimen of Z. lambinus was reared on 13 May 2014 from seven studied specimens of E. gennadii. The established host-parasitoid relationship is new for science. Key words: Epidiaspis gennadii, Zaomma lambinus, new host-parasitoid re- lationship, Bulgaria Epidiaspis gennadii (Leonardi, 1898) (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) is an East Med- iterranean species, trophically associated with different hosts of the genus Pistacia (Anacardiaceae) (Balachowsky, 1954; Davatchi, 1958; Longo et al., 1995; Gregoriou, 2001; Ben-Dov, 2006; Kaydan et al., 2007; Milonas et al., 2008; Seljak, 2010; Şişman, Ülgentürk, 2010). In Bulgaria, it was established occasionally while studying egg parasitoids of Thaumetopoea solitaria (Freyer, 1838) (Lepidoptera: Notodontidae) on Pistacia terebinthus L. in the region of Ivaylovgrad (Georgiev et al., 2012). The cosmopolitan Zaomma lambinus (Walker, 1838) (Hymenoptera: Encyrti- dae) is distributed in Palaearctic, Oriental, Nearctic, Afro-tropical, Neotropical and Australian regions (Mitroiu, 2013). The species is known as primary and second- ary parasitoid with a wide range of hosts from many families of Hemiptera, Hy- menoptera and Diptera orders (Noyes, 2015). In Bulgaria, Z. lambinus was previ- ously reported as a parasitoid of Lepidosaphes ulmi (Linnaeus, 1758) (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) (Trjapitzin, 1989, 2001).

  • Slavic Folk Beliefs Regarding the Spots of the Moon
    ON THE METHODS OF CONSTRUCTING A MYTHOLOGICAL TEXT: SLAVIC FOLK BELIEFS REGARDING THE SPOTS OF THE MOON Aleksandr Gura Abstract: The dark spots visible on the surface of the full Moon have been diversely interpreted in the Slavic folk calendar, with a partial overlapping being noted upon the consolidation of relevant thematic groups. The article provides an overview regarding the explanations, concerning the origin of lunar spots, widespread among the Slavic people. The comparative analysis of the Slavic narratives on lunar spots indicates the distribution of the text into dif- ferent morphological elements, enables the ascertaining of mutual correlations and combinations, and shows how they are being used to “assemble”, construct texts in different regional traditions, determining the “grammatical” structure of the mythological text as a whole. Key words: mythology, lunar spots, Slavic folklore Different interpretations, within the Slavic folk calendar, attributed to the dark spots visible on the surface of the full Moon, can be consolidated into several partially overlapping thematic groups. ASSOCIATION OF LUNAR SPOTS WITH DIRTINESS The first group of interpretations (mainly among the Bulgarians, and partially among the Macedonians and Croatians) is associated with cows and cow dung. Pursuant to such explanations, the stains on the Moon are either a cow with a large udder (Mazneva 1946: 109) or a pear tree emptied of the fruit by God’s cow which thereafter became a Moon (ArhEIM 879-II: 72). Most frequently, however, the stains are the traces of a cowpat or ox faeces. The Moon thrown on the earth by a witch had stained itself in the cowpat excreted by a cow passing the Moon (ArhEIM 881-II: 108), or the cowpat was thrown on to the Moon in order for the latter not to shine as brightly.

Distribution and abundance in Bulgaria. The far border regions in the Eastern Rhodopes in two habitats isolated one from the other: around the village of Mezek [1, 2, 3] and the valley of the river Byala reka to the east of the village of Meden buk [2, 4]. In the region of the village of Mandritsa in 1979 up to 10-15 individuals could be observed within an hour [5], and in 2001 4- 6 individuals in a 50 meter transect [4]. In the region above the village of Mezek in 2004 the species had average numbers in transects 100 / 5 m – up to 8,2 individuals [3]. The habitat immediately near the village of Mezek is probably destroyed because of forestation with black pine of the slopes near the village [4]; the species is found over this belt to the ridge parts of the Gorata hill [3].

Regarding cultural heritage a major role is played by archaeological sites – finds from antiquity, excavations and archaeological remains (at the expense of, for example, architectural monuments): given average assessment scores of 1 to 7, where 7 is the highest score, archaeological monuments are very highly valued for their potential to attract tourists to the area - 6,02, which is the highest score among all other aspects - for architectural landmarks it is 5.81 and for local customs and traditions - 5.65.
