  • 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,

Unter dem Termin „Urbanisierungsaktivität” muss man sowohl die Gründung neuer Städte als auch die Erhöhung der bereits bestehenden autochthonen Siedlungen zum Rang einer Stadt verstehen.

  • Paleomagnetic Implications on the Stability of the Moesian Platform and the Bulgarian Rhodope Since the Paleogene: Surviving in Between Two Major Rotating Systems
    Paleomagnetic implications on the stability of the Moesian Platform and the Bulgarian Rhodope since the Paleogene: surviving in between two major rotating systems Karen Oud MSc Geology student, Faculty of Geosciences, Utrecht University July 2008 Abstract To investigate whether or not the Moesian Platform and the Bulgarian Rhodope accommodated for the major clockwise rotation of both the Carpathian and Aegean systems since 13 Ma, paleomagnetic analysis was done on Paleogene sediments and volcanics from the Moesian Platform and volcanics from the Bulgarian Rhodope. The mean paleomagnetic direction for the overall Bulgarian region shows a declination of 11 o ± 10 o N at 30 Ma. Hence, with respect to the overall rotation of the Eurasian continent, the Bulgarian region is a stable block with a negligible rotation of 4.3 o ± 10.9 o counterclockwise since 30 Ma. 1. Introduction systems. Schmid et al (1998) state that during the Late Cretaceous, the western The Moesian Platform in northern part of the Rhodope moved northwards, Bulgaria lies in between two domains past the Moesian Platform.

  • Roman Lead Sealings
    Roman Lead Sealings VOLUME I MICHAEL CHARLES WILLIAM STILL SUBMITTED FOR TIlE DEGREE OF PILD. SEPTEMBER 1995 UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON INSTITUTE OF ARCHAEOLOGY (L n") '3 1. ABSTRACT This thesis is based on a catalogue of c. 1800 records, covering over 2000 examples of Roman lead sealings, many previously unpublished. The catalogue is provided with indices of inscriptions and of anepigraphic designs, and subsidiary indices of places, military units, private individuals and emperors mentioned on the scalings. The main part of the thesis commences with a history of the use of lead sealings outside of the Roman period, which is followed by a new typology (the first since c.1900) which puts special emphasis on the use of form as a guide to dating. The next group of chapters examine the evidence for use of the different categories of scalings, i.e. Imperial, Official, Taxation, Provincial, Civic, Military and Miscellaneous. This includes evidence from impressions, form, texture of reverse, association with findspot and any literary references which may help. The next chapter compares distances travelled by similar scalings and looks at the widespread distribution of identical scalings of which the origin is unknown. The first statistical chapter covers imperial sealings. These can be assigned to certain periods and can thus be subjected to the type of analysis usually reserved for coins. The second statistical chapter looks at the division of categories of scalings within each province. The scalings in each category within each province are calculated as percentages of the provincial total and are then compared with an adjusted percentage for that category in the whole of the empire.
