CHOOSING A COMPLETE DELIVERY CIRCUIT FOR MULTIMODAL TRANSPORT OPERATOR

Abstract: Quite often, there are a lot of participants which are included in the process of multimodal transportation organization. It's difficult to organize their work without any delays or failures and to choose the most effective supply chain. Selection of the optimal delivery route is complicated by the act that the time of logistics operation fulfillment is not known in advance and depends on circumstantial factors, as well as by the fact that cargo delivery time is not the sole criterion for selecting the optimal option. There was developed the unique method of the supply chain which combines the decision of compromised point in order to solve multi criterion problem at three points: minimum, maximum, medium by analogy with calculation of the square of the curvilinear trapezoid according to the Simpson rule. As a result, this method allowed to determine the optimal logistics chain taking into account both the time indeterminacy and expenses in each chain link.

RITUAL AND FEAST AS PRIMARY ORGANIZATION FORMS OF CULTURAL MEMORY. THE DANCE DRAMA „NESTINARKA“ BY MARIN GOLEMINOV
Abstract: If the memory functions in a reconstructive way and the past has been reorganized by the changing reference frames of the continuously progressing present, what from the past experience has been reconstructed today and how has this reconstruction been made?
The author tries to find the answer of these questions, studying one of the most representative works of the Bulgarian art – the dance drama „Nestinarka“ (literally „Fire-dancer“). by Marin Goleminov.
The history of creation and the social life of „Nestinarka“ give good opportunities for studying art in its function as a group’s memory. This really remarkable work could be interpreted from the point of view both of volitional and non-volitional memory. Most important is the reference frame of the present, which is at the root of strongly emphasized figurativeness and thus in the change of the remembering modus as well. The recent theatrical experiments, reviving the recollections for the first production of „Nestinarka“ dance drama confirm the fact that every attempt to discover new horizons is at the same time a re-discovery of the past.

THE MEDIA LITERACY ATTITUDE TO THE COMPETENCES, DEFINED BY EUROPEAN NORMATIVE BASE

Abstract: The information society puts higher demands on the competencies of contemporary people, especially young people. The media cover different aspects of life in the global world, and therefore the need for media literacy of citizens, regardless of their age, is growing. Media literacy is an accent in the European legislation, but it still has no place in the Bulgarian one. In the EU legal framework and in research, however, it is a component to the competences needed in the 21st century.

THE ORIGINS AND PECULIARITIES OF THE IDEOLOGICAL BASIS OF TONY BLAIR’S FOREIGN POLICY MODEL

Abstract: An identity of a state leader and his team as well as government bodies which could be transformed by the leader have a great influence on the state developing process. This thesis is particularly relevant to the period of Tony Blair’s Great Britain. His leadership model is one of the most controversial one in the modern world. This issue became especially relevant after the publication of Chilcot Committee’s report concerning the situation on Iraq. Ideological basisis one of the most important part of this model because it determines “originality” of blerism. This paper examines origins of Tony Blair’s ideology as well as traditional and new aspects of the “New Labour” power. More specifically, it suggests “the British Crisis” after the World War II as the start point for British identity rethinking process. Churchillism and Thatcherism are considered as the basis of blerism. Special attention attends to the ethical dimension of “the Third Way” ideology. The discussion concludes with investigation of idea about “Transatlantic Bridge” and its impact on specific of Euro-Atlantic direction.

CRIME NICKNAMES OF THE BULGARIAN ONOMASTICONE IN THE MODERN SUBCULTURE

Abstract: The study of criminal nicknames in contemporary scientific knowledge is being investigated not only of onomastics but also of many other sciences such as ethnography, folklore, forensics, and andevenlinguo-culturalstudies. The nicknames of criminals are extremely popular in the public. These names are units with indirect nomination and have an optional character, distinguished by their expressive expression. In the criminal nickname are encrypted certain features of his owner such as status and role in the group. This is the reason why the nickname becomes a required attribute. Almost every criminal has a nickname that is a peculiar signifier of his belonging to a particular group of the criminalworld.  This article discusses the main functions of the criminal nickname and the inter relationship between them, videlicet: 1) the criminal nickname has a designating function ‒ substitutеs the name; 2) the criminal nickname is distinguished by its social stigmatization; 3) the criminal nickname affirms the status of personality in the group hierarchy; 4) serves as a verbal means of perosonalization (honorable nicknames) and depersonalisation (insulting nicknames). It has been attempted to classify the investigated corpus of criminal nicknames into lexical-semantic classification.

APPLICATION SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGIES IN THE MANAGEMENT OF SUPPLY CHAIN

Abstract: Logistics processes in the global economy are characterized by increasing complexity, dynamism and distribution and are key challenges for logistics planning and control. Generalized centralized approaches are often limited in their effectiveness due to the large number of logistics objects and parameters to be taken into account. On the other hand, users require the availability of fast, individualized and inexpensive logistics services. All this leads to the need for IT systems that meet the requirements of specific logistics processes.

NOTES ON THE FORMATION OF GEODETICS ENGINEERING

Abstract: The following article, in brief, comes to the conclusion that the interdisciplinary and adaptive qualities of the geodetics engineering are prerequisites for its formation and the fact that it serves as a link between various fields of science. There’s an integrative logistic link between theory, research and practice that unifies the efforts for acquiring working, truthful and effective practical knowledge. This is the result of the collaboration of many researchers with experience in various interdisciplinary sciences and with different approaches to theory and practice, methodology and tools.

RESEARCH INTO THE EFFECTIVENESS OF WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION DURING THE 20TH CENTURY: BETWEEN THE TWO WORLD WARS AND THE COLD WAR

Abstract: The article is devoted to the methodology used to study chemical, biological and nuclear weapons of mass destruction introduced during the 20th century. The authors studied various methods utilized to test the effectiveness of such armaments both at the time of the two World Wars as well as during the standoff of the Cold Warbetween the so called West and the Soviet Union. The sudden leap of civilization which occurred in the 20th century significantly influenced the revolutionary changes within the arms industry and, at the same time, introduced new possibilities concerning the testing and development of weapons of mass destruction. War had always been used as a "testing ground" allowing the practical assessment of the effectiveness of new weaponry.
