For certain executive action in the Penal Code
No full textNumerous changes in the Penal Code over the last 30 years, which have been made at different times and for different reasons, have led to significant casuistry in the linguistic description of the executive act. The replacement of legal terminology with words from the colloquial Bulgarian language created a normative paradox – describing one and the same prohibited behavior in one or different types of crimes through synonyms from the Bulgarian language. The adoption of legislative practice for the literal reproduction of terminology from international acts and acts of European Union’s law, which are subject to introduction into criminal law, has further aggravated this problem. Overcoming it is essential for the proper application of criminal law, as it has direct connection with the differentiation of the scope of the various forms of the act. In some cases it turns out impossible even though a significant volume of interpretive activity has been done. Moreover, the inconsistent use of the same descriptions of executive acts, in view of the differences in other constituent features, also leads to different meanings of the same term in the composition of different crimes. The present study focuses only on some of these cases, grouped by the basis of their common starting point for their criminal law content – “accept – receive – acquire”; “holds – stores – carry over – ships – transports” and “transports across the border – imports – exports”

The COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on crime – consequences and risks
No full textThe health crisis, due to the COVID-19 attracts the attention of different kinds of experts, including criminologists. This is because the pandemic has affected one of the main research topics of the criminology – the criminality. In the very beginning of the crisis it has turned out that it would radically change the public and social organization which would inevitably influence the criminal tendencies. A few months after the lockdown in most of the countries one of the main research observation is that crime rates have decreased markedly. The pandemic has shown crime is an extremely dynamic social phenomenon capable to adapt quickly to the social changes. However, could we perceive positively this crime drop or should we regard it with sharp attention and have in mind the eventual social consequences and risks
Music and singing formats around the world through the view of the vocal teacher

Results of a parents survey on the single-use baby nappies and waste treatment
Get PDFA recent survey results show that in 2017 in EU 0 – 2 years old children have been used approximately 33 billion single-use baby nappies which are generated about 6,7 tons of waste, or, only one baby needs 2200 single-use nappies and generates 438 kg of waste per year. Despite these single-use products contain plastic, there are no specific regulations for their waste treatment and also the price of their alternative option is higher. The choice of nappy types and waste treatment depends entirely on parents. This paper aims to investigate the Bulgarian parent attitude to single-use nappies, alternative products and separate waste collection
The colorization of Greek classic films as intersemiotic translation
Get PDFIntersemiotic translation constitutes a field of research and application including those of different modes of expression and substance transmis-sion from one text to another. According to Torop (2000) different types of texts such as films, and comics function as signification systems submitted into different translation processes either intra- or extratextual (intralin-guistic or intersemiotic as referred by Jakobson [1959]) to serve a different kind of media communication. It is well known that the textual nature of film is ascertained by specific elements such as sound, episodes, montage including color which as a medium (“color means” as stated by Kress & van Leuween [2002]) plays a very important role in the transfer of meaning ventured by film makers. In this paper I will attempt to designate the role of color as a mode of new signification through the application of colorization in two classic Greek black and white films. I will examine the films “And let the wife fear her husband” («Η δε γυνή να φοβήται τον άνδρα») and “A mess” («Της κακομοίρας») both classified in the classic Greek cinema period (1940–1970) and very popular with the Greek public. Film colorization was a widespread technique in the ‘80s in the United States and lately in Greece, not always well received due to film forgery reasons, as maintained by fans. In this paper I will try to explain how film colorization works as intersemi-otic translation and what is the new meaning acquired for the public by this procedure in the two films examined in the corpus
Narratological approach of the film adaptation of Thérèse Desqueyroux by François Mauriac
Get PDFThe aim of this paper is to examine translation as a phenomenon from literature into movies through isotopies. In particular, the research concen-trates on the intertextual phenomenon between the original classic version in literature and the two film versions (1962 and 2012). In Gideon Toury’s work, translation is seen as an intertextual phenomenon. The three “texts” form an intertextual triangle. Mauriac’s classic novel is at the top of the triangle as a significant guide, and at the same time the two films rest on the triangle’s base. In 1927, the French writer, François Mauriac wrote his iconic work, Thérèse Desqueyroux. In his novel, the writer describes the tragic story of a poisoner. This is a woman who hovers between the romantic of the past and the realism of the present. The young heroine lets herself go psychically into her dreams, and she does not see reality in its logical dimension. Her marriage is not a romantic, happy and ideal union taken from the romantic works of the 19th century. It is a cold, cruel and indifferent marriage. In a way, Thérèse is a victim of herself. Unveiling the psychographic image of this fatal woman called Thérèse D, the application of Greimas’s narratological method offers a fertile field of research, and the examination of the transformation into a double cinematographic portrait. Thérèse is a woman prisoner in her name: Desqueyroux. The narrative structure of the work turns on the fragile psyche of the heroine. Is she real-ly a fragile female figure or, a cruel poisoner in a search of mental freedom
