THE IDIOLECT OF REVEREND ECONOMOS DIMITAR POPNIKOLOV PETKANOV
Full text linkA less studied talented author and brother of the popular fiction writer Konstantin Petkanov, priest
Dimitar wrote in the 1950s. This publication analyzes several parameters of his idiolect: phonetic peculiarities (reflex of ѣ, ѫ,
ъ; epenthetic [l]; reflexes of the [tʃ] [dʒ] groups; phonetic dialectisms; phonetic doublets); morphological paradigm (case
inflections; noun form for number; dualis; nomina collectiva; extended Church Slavonic suffix for adjectives; dialectal and
contracted pronoun forms; a temporal system characterized by high frequency of the verbs in terms of origin, distribution and
stylistic differentiation); lexical specifics (in terms of origin, distribution and stylistic differentiation). Emphasis is placed on
those lexical layers that constitute and ditinguish the author’s language. Hapaxes (produced using morphological and non-
morphological methods), rare words, semantic transponents, dialectisms, colloquial vocabulary and foreign words are studied.
All linguistic phenomena are examined retrospectively and in comparison with the synchronous linguistic situation before and
after the orthographic reform of 1945 in order to highlight the innovative contribution and the mechanisms through which the
author enriched the contemporary Bulgarian vocabulary. Occasionalisms, dialectal and archaic units occur more often in
Petkanov’s poetic works than in his fiction. The source material has been excerpted from Volume 1 (January – March) and
Volume 2 (April – June) of the hagiographic tetralogy “The Year of Our Lord“ and the memoir “A Book about My Brother –
the Writer Konstantin N. Petkanov“, which were published a few years ago by Dimitar Petkanov’s heirs
Imperium Militiae(I)
No full textThe most common idea in Romance studies is that Romans, as practical people, didn’t conduct theoretical research on their country or their army, but they gradually built them both. Meanwhile, they reformed and upgraded it, so that they could respond to the challenges of their age. Moreover, the basis of their research was not explicit doctrines, or prior concepts, in fact they used their own, or the experience of others, to find concrete solutions to daily problems. Just as the Hellenic romanophile Polibius (200-120 B.C), in his work Historia, asks the crucial question: ”Is it possible to have such an unreliable man who is not interested in how the Romans, with their unicipal structure, managed to conquer the whole world”? - in the same way the author of this paper, as much as its content allows, humbly and unpretentiously tries to answer the crucial question: “What kind of military structure
created and defended one of the biggest and most enduring empires in world’s history, and what rules governed it”

3D Reconstruction in Crime Scenes Investigation:Impacts, Benefits, and Limitations
No full textCrime scene investigations are constantly changing, so need innovative technology to increase their efficiency and precision. An example of such a technology is 3D reconstruction technology, which captures the physical attributes of real-world crime scenes and digitizes them into comprehensive three-dimensional models. This provides a more detailed, accurate, and interactive representation of crime scenes than traditional documentation techniques has done. In this study, we explore the transformative potential of 3D reconstruction. Drawing from diverse case studies and technological evaluations, we show the marked benefits of 3D reconstruction on the efficiency, safety, and overall effectiveness of crime scene investigations. To ensure the technology is used ethically and optimally, inherent problems must be addressed. This research highlights the significant implications of 3D reconstruction, paving the way for future forensic investigations.</p
THE AUTHOR IS ABSENT: TOWARD EMERGENT NARRATIVE EVENT ENVIRONMENTS
Full text linkCreating an emergent narrative or one which is not predetermined by the controlling figure of the game designer, but instead frees the audience to guide and control the story has been a major interest in the field game design studies of virtual world storytelling. “The Author Is Absent” is an art project that interprets an emergent narrative problem through the prism of performance arts, and mainly the happenings of Alan Kaprow. The following paper provides a theoretical groundwork and some historical examples of previous attempts in the same tradition. It then goes on to elucidate the formal aspects of the work, its mechanics and the results of several attempts at creating an emergent narrative. It traces the creative process that led to the creation of two events – “A Scene about a Drug Deal Gone Wrong” and “The Best Goddamn Art SIU Has to Offer”. Both of them were attempts at creating an environment that could serve as a framework in which an emergent narrative can occur in the interaction between performers and audience. It evaluates the end result of these events and proposes further steps that can be taken towards perfecting the form

No full textEthical Considerations in AI-Based Brain Tumour Diagnosis
No full textArtificial intelligence has really transformed medical diagnosis in brain tumours by changing the direction of medical imaging. This study compares the performances of two AI models, YOLO and Roboflow, in the detection and classification of tumours. YOLO showed high accuracy and speed in tumour detection but faced difficulties when it came to small or irregularly shaped tumours, especially low-grade gliomas. Roboflow did very well in multi label classification which is necessary to distinguish types of tumors. That is good, for example, to differentiate between meningiomas versus pituitary tumours, whereas not so good in the case of heterogeneous gliomas. Hence, these are complementary strengths that can be combined to help improve diagnostic workflows. Besides the technical performances, important ethical challenges were pointed out such as biased dataset imbalances, risks to patient privacy, unclear accountability in the case of diagnostic errors, and opacity of model decision-making. Proposed solutions include diversification of datasets, privacy-preserving techniques such as federated learning, accountability frameworks, and explainable AI. These findings emphasize the need for a multidisciplinary approach that integrates technical innovation with ethical safeguards, ensuring the equitable and trustworthy application of AI in clinical practice, while improving diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes in neuro-oncology.<br/
