APPLICATION OF THE METHODOLOGICAL TECHNOLOGIES OF PROF. ASSEN DIAMANDIEV IN SOLFEGA TRAINING

Abstract: After the methodology developed in the Method for Education of the Musical Hearing on Bulgarian Folk Intonations and Metricitms is based on the peculiarities of the Bulgarian folk style, the author gives some specific theoretical statements. The type of lad organization, the lack of a three-dimensional classical ladopotional organization, the participation of a second interval, shaping the diaonal profile of the melody and the development of the intonation complexes based on the ancient lasers, will play a significant role in the overall upbringing of the musical hearing.

BULGARIAN SOLFEED METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR EDUCATING THE MUSICAL HEARING

Abstract: The musical education at the beginning of the twentieth century in Bulgaria continues the development of many ideas, which find their realization in the following years. An important credit for this is the theoretical formulation of the idea of the presence of the folk song in the work of Dobri Hristov and the emergence of Boris Trichkov's "Staircase".
D. Hristov builds his system of musical education according to the "musical features of our folk music" and Boris Trichkov sets the tone ladder of "to" as the "starting point" in the formation of the musical hearing. These solvation methods, by means of separate elements and certain methodological forms of work, are also applicable in modern solprophic methods.

University of Shumen is the only higher education institution in Northern Bulgaria that offers courses in the discipline of Plant Protection. The monitoring was carried over the period 2012-2016 and includes students of three educational and qualifying degrees: professional bachelor, bachelor, and master. Students enrolled in the program may choose courses at the University of Shumen and the Dobrich College in order to gain a high-quality education and to attend to their needs, such as proximity to residence, family, and financially accessible studies. The graduates’ future careers, as well as the correspondence of their professional profile with the labor market’s demands, their adaptability to the market’s dynamics, their attitudes and motivation for further qualification, re-qualification and continuing education are objects of regular monitoring, control, and evaluation. The student data analysis shows that most graduates develop their own business related to agricultiral land cultivation. The theoretical and practical knowledge as well as personal and professional competencies gained in the course of the training can be applied immediately in real life and is profitable. Aa a steady tendency, the students find professional realization mainly in North-East Bulgaria. The conducted analysis clearly affirms the position of University of Shumen as the higher education institution that provides educated professionals for the agricultural sector in Northeastern Bulgaria.

GEOMORPHOLOGY AND MORPHOGENESIS OF WATER CATCHMENT BASIN SUHA REKA RIVER

Abstract: In this report are examined results of regional geomorphological researches in water catchment basin of Suha reka river. It represents one of the ten dry valleys in North East Bulgaria spread alongside the border with Romania. The dry valleys in North East Bulgaria are distinguished with their monotonous at glance relief. From other side this river valley net which a part is Suha reka river with its genesis, morphogenesis and stages of development represents enigmatic morphological phenomena.

The main aim of this report is to reveal the lithology substrata and tectonic movements during Neogen – Quaternary stage applied for morphological face an spatial behavior of each elements in water catchment basin of Suha reka river.

ABOUT THE ORIGIN AND MORPHOSTRUCTURE OF THE BLACK SEA BASIN

Abstract: The Black Sea Basin was a large Gulf in the north-eastern coast of the Phanerozoic Thetys Ocean. It south-eastern margin was marked by the different in the time spatial disposed Anatolian (Little Asia) Peninsula. It was moved to the North-West under the pressure of the Arabian and Persian continental plates during the last 20 M. a. The frontal West-Northwestern part of the Anatolian Peninsula was arrived the Balkan Peninsula (in the area of Bosporus) in the time of the completely closing of the Thetys Ocean in the Eastern Mediterranean and the beginning of the intercontinental collision between Gondwana and Europe. The little fragment from the oceanic crust in the area of the contemporary Black Sea Basin was remained as a Black Sea Oceanic microplate. It is distinguished from the enclosed continental microplates and epicontinental basins thru:
1. Deep, large, relatively flat sea bottom, formed in the rocks of the lower basalt layer from the Earth crust.
2. The sea shelf’s and sea slopes of the Black Sea Basin represent typical passive continental margins of the enclosed continental microplates.
3. In the Black Sea Basin were established very typical only for the oceans natural events „Tsunami”.
4. The water of the Black Sea Basin includes the characteristically only for the ocean basins sulphuretted hydrogen layer.

SOUTH MORAVA MORPHOSTRUCTURAL ZONE (EAST PART OF BALKAN PENINSULA)

Abstract: South Morava morphostructural zone (east part of Balkan peninsula). The article represents a preliminary general view of the regional disposition and morphostructural essence of the South Morava morphostructural zone. This north-west marginal morphostructural unit of the Bulgarian continental micro morphotecture (from the east part of Balkan Peninsula – Tzankov, Stankova, 2014) is located in the border region of East Serbia, partial in West Bulgarian and in the north border part of the Republic of Macedonia (fig. 1). 

The west border of the South Morava morphostructural zone coincide with the primary suture between the Bulgarian continental microplate (to the east) and the Carpathian, Dinarian and Pind continental microplates. This very important tectonic contact was predetermined the necessity of origin, the place, the direction, the form and the most important internal pattern elements of the South Morava morphostructural zone.

INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES IN SELF-REGULATION, MEASURED THROUGH THE ACTION-STATE ORIENTATION AND DECISION-MAKING STYLE

Abstract: Based on the endings of this study as well as on earlier studies on decision-making style, the decision-making style is defined as the response pattern exhibited by an individual in a individual in a decision-making situation. This response pattern is determined by the decision-making situation, the decision-making task and by the individual features of the decision maker. Individual differences between decision makers include differences in habits but also differences in basic cognitive abilities such as information processing, self-evaluation and self-regulation, which have a consistent impact on the response pattern across the different decision-making tasks and situations. Results in support of this are discussed in the analysis of the the data from 196 volunteers and further research perspectives are suggested.
