Title: Ergonomics in the Piano Accordion Keyboard
Authors: Nikolay Kravtsov

Abstract: The article identifies ways to improve the organ-piano keyboard borrowed into the accordion according to the ergonomic criteria of the “man-machine” system. The corresponding keyboard transformations are shown in order to expand the information channels to achieve the criteria of the existing paradigm and improve the artistic and expressive conditions for the implementation of articulation algorithms in sound extraction. After creating the variety of the organ-piano keyboard - the keyboard of the Kravtsov system - their genetic community in preserving the musical heritage of past eras and matching modern demands of the accordion culture is indicated.

Title: Bashkir Mythological Beit "Sak-Suk" and Tales, Legends of the Bulgarian People
Authors: Yuldybaeva Gulnar Vidanovna, Khanova Gulnaz Salimianovna

Abstract: The Bashkir bait "Sak and Suk" is one of the most popular poetic works of folk oral poetry. Bait is widespread among the Bashkirs, Tatars and Chuvash. This article is devoted to the study of parallels in the plots of the Bashkir texts of the mythological bait Sak-Suk with the tales and legends of the Bulgarian people about the cuckoo (owl) and the owl. It turned out that these folklore works have a similar plot basis: the mother curses her naughty children and turns them into birds that are not destined to meet each other. The differences are only in the names of the birds, although in the two peoples the main characters turn into night birds from the owl family. And in some cases, in Bulgarian folklore works, one of the heroes (mainly a daughter) turns into a cuckoo.

Title: Digitalization of Ukrainian Cultural Heritage`s Objects in Poland: Collections of Ethnography and Art, Photo Libraries, Archives
Authors: Olena Kozakevych

Abstract: The large numbers of material culture`s objects that originate from Ukrainian territories of the late XIX — mid XX centuries are preserved in Polish museum and archival institutions. The main groups can be distinguished: museum collections of ethnography and art, archival documents and photo libraries (negatives and photo prints). Polish specialists, who have been digitizing such collections for long time, also deal with Ukrainian material, often involving Ukrainian scholars for attribution. A large part of the material is posted online (sometimes as separate projects), which provides an opportunity to get acquainted with Ukrainian cultural heritage of wide audience (most often associated with ethnographic Hutsul and Bojko Regions), for example, photos of Hutsuls and Hutsul life by Gonsiorovsky, Poddembsky, Dutkevych, Senkovsky. Most digitized objects are stored on institutions' servers, and scientists are given access to information during their research. Further usage of these documents by scientists is regulated by the legislation of the European Union and the relevant institution. Within the framework of Polish-Ukrainian cooperation, digital copies are transferred to Ukraine. In this way, the objects of Ukrainian cultural heritage become available for knowledge to the wide audience.

Title: Urban Planning of the Southeast Part of Trapezitsa in the Light of Latest Research
Authors: Mirko Robov

Abstract: After the 30’s of the 13th century and until the end of the Tarnovo Kingdom in the south-east sector of Trapezitsa a specific urban planning was taking shape. Over several ledges are built some of the most significant Metropolitan churches, such as church № 3, 4 and 14, as well as a large closed ensemble near church №3, related to an eminent representative of the ecclesiastical hierarchy – most likely the bishop of this second in significance Metropolitan fort. Immediately south of the episcopate is attached a large duplex building, with an imposing appearance – columns and an arch construction. From the east it ends with an apse. There are no traces of mural paintings on the plastered walls. Among the findings there is a vessel with an image of the Star of David. It is possible that this building had social and religious functions and was related to the Jewish people, who inhabited this fort during the 13th-14th centuries of Metropolitan Tarnovo.

Title: FAIR Principles for Digital Repositories: Essence and Applications for Heritage Objects
Authors: Kalina Sotirova-Valkova

Abstract: The emergence of the FAIR initiative in 2016 is based on the need for good management of disparate data, and improving the functionality of digital repositories and e-infrastructures. The aim is to promote the re-use of (scientific) data, a need recognized by academia, industry, funding agencies and memory institutions. This paper discusses the nature of the FAIR principles, its` technologies, the concept of FAIR digital object, FAIR ecosystem and persistent identifiers, a possible solution to the images-publication in scientific publications and in museum digital repositories through the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF), and all these through the focus of possible digital vision of the Bulgarian memory institutions.

Title: The Newly Opened Rock Church in the Ground Part of the Monastery Complex The Baptistery from the Ivanovo Rock-hewn Monasteries
Authors: Evgeni Koev

Abstract: In another field study in the region of the Ivanovo rock-hewn monasteries, led by Evgeni Koev, a rock-hewn church was found in the area of the Monastery Complex “The Baptistery”. This specific site is a rock-hewn temple which has a unique location at the ground level of the rock wreath. It has not been documented in previous studies of this area. The church has a carefully shaped and processed eastern half. There is a carved characteristic absid in eastern direction, replacing the holy throne, a prosthetic niche and a replica of the rock-hewn Vladish throne. For the first time, the rock-hewn church is mapped and described in detail, giving a specific interpretation of the time of its construction and use, as well as showing the specific purpose of the temple and the adjacent monastic cells.

Title: Perception and Action in One. Impact of Interactive Art Works on the Observer-Participant
Authors: Svetoslav Kosev, Atanas Markov

Abstract: In the visual arts, in addition to the spiritual continuity and physical presence of the observer, another process takes place - the process of perception and action. In interactive works, the two processes overlap. The participant in the interaction alters to some extent the appearance of the object and thus, also, their own aesthetic experience. The ideological content is revealed only when the observer encounters the interactive work and through his actions becomes a participant in the creative experience. The author's project is designed to facilitate the experience of the audience by provoking them to gain knowledge about it. The project became a laboratory for creative and scientific research, through which we made some important conclusions about the perception and action of the observer-participant in the creative art installations.

Title: Essence and Significance of the Christian Faith in the Modern World
Authors: Ivan Valkov

Abstract: The author offers a discursive analysis of the New Testament faith, based on the biblical definition of it (Heb. 11) and the realization in life of the Old Testament patriarch Abraham, a model of faith in the three monotheistic religions. The author's choice fell to Abraham because of the similarity in God's guidance to him in the Old Testament and to the images in the New Testament. This leads to theological conclusions about what the biblically based Christian faith should be today. In the theological-ethical analysis of the successive stages in the stepwise development of the faith, visualized in the author's diagram, the correct definition, meaning and influence of each stage in the real life of the modern Christian stand out. The theoretical aspect of the research uses methods of systematic theology, biblical hermeneutics, egzegetics, as well as scientific research on the concept of "faith" (Vl. Sveshnikov, K. Barth, Al. Men, Vl. Solovov, D. Kirov etc.). The practical aspect of the study is based on the spiritual experience of Abraham, the historical experience of the Church, as well as the personal experience of the author - theologian and clinical psychologist. This text aims to inspire Christians to overcome daily trials by boldly climbing the steps of faith, which also elevates Abraham to the true glory God has given him. God's promise is that trials will never exceed the power of the one who has ben tested.

How the maximum information is benefited with the help of the experts, craftsman and other specialists to rediscover the function of those instruments and their meaning as a cultural valuables.
