A CHANGE IN LIVES OF PROTAGONISTS AS THE AGENT OF PLOT-DEVELOPMENT IN BULGARIAN FILMS

A film plot is built like any other artistic narrative and includes the following parts: exposition; rising action; climax; falling action; conclusion. We find a rich and multifaceted range of plots in Bulgarian films. However, there is always a break or a change in routine of every plot. The change usually emanates from outside the routine described in the film. The external entity, which comes close to the protagonists’ routine and intervened in it, creates problems and crisis. This happens when the external changes bring new characters or events into the characters’ previous lives, or, alternately, takes them out of their previous routine into a different reality. For example, in the romantic comedy "It Happened in the Street" by the prominent film director (Yanko Yankov), the protagonist Misho (the legendary actor Apostol Karamitev) is a driver of a truck. He meets a girl called Katerina, falls in love with her, and wants to marry her. She is finally convinced that Misho is the right man for her, and accepts his offer. The establishment of a new young family is enabled by the changes that Misho is assigned to take in his life as part of his work. A change in heroes’ lives is the main motive-force in Bulgarian cinema. A variety of drastic events may happen to the protagonists, and they have to face the consequences. They often have intense, dramatic experiences which serve as a mental, psychological, social, personal, ideological, and physical test. These govern their fate, forcing them to mobilize their forces and fight for a lofty cause. The change in the heroes’ lives allows them to discover their true character and see their lives anew, in a more moral way.

The effect of extensible business reporting language on the performance of the internal audit

This study aimed to examine the effect of applying extensible business reporting language on the performance of the internal audit. A questionnaire was used to collect the data from 115 of the top managers of firms and internal auditors. Multiple regression methods were employed through SPSS software to test the hypotheses. The results of the study show that the external entity pressure, ease of use of the system, and cost-benefit overload positively and significantly affect the performance of the internal audit. While adapting to previous systems, training their employees, and the successful implementation of the model did not affect the performance of the internal audit.

Man in the middle attack on HTTPS protocol

A "man-in-the-middle" (MITM) attack occurs when an external entity intercepts communication between two systems. This can happen for any form of online communication, such as e-mail, websites social networking and web browsing. Not only does it try to listen to your private conversations, but it also steals all the information from your devices. A man-inthe-middle attack is a procedure that allows the attacker to interpose between the user and the computer it communicates with, to read or modify that conversation. This procedure used to be very common before the massive switch to the HTTP-Secure protocol and continues to be encountered even today, although it is harder to do. the higher threat is the low detection rate. Users may not always know if the network they use is legitimate or if someone monitors traffic ul, whether it's an airport, a hotel or a neighborhood cafe. Our dependence on the Internet has caused us to use the same device for both personal and professional life, thus being automatically exposed to risks. Web-based applications are based on HTTPS protocol to ensure confidentiality and security in transactions ranging from home banking, e-commerce and e-procurement to sensitive data, such as career and identity information. Users trust this protocol to prevent unauthorized viewing of personal, financial and confidential information on the Web.

Headedness and exocentric compounding

Semantic headedness typically serves as the primary criterion for compound endocentricity, i.e. whether a compound has a head. The semantic head is often defined as the hyperonym from which the denotation of the compound is derived, with exocentric compounds being those whose denotation is not a subclass of that of their head element. Headedness, so defined, leads us to analyze every non-compositional compound as exocentric. We explore the boundaries between semantic exocentricity and non-compositionality using established diagnostics in order to decide whether a semantic characterization of headedness is valid, and to determine whether exocentricity and non-compositionality coincide. Assuming a syntactic model of morphological combinatorics we show that exocentricity must be defined configurationally, occurring when the structure of a compound modifies an external entity, frequently instantiated by an empty noun. Hence exocentricity is not the absence of a head, but the realization of the compound's head outside its internal structure. Non-compositionality, in turn, derives from how the root of each constituent member of a compound is compositionally or idiosyncratically interpreted. Finally, we put forth a new typological distribution of exocentric compounds, discriminating real exocentric compounds (bahuvrihi and dvandva) from compounds that are commonly, but wrongly, defined as exocentric (e.g. deverbal and de-prepositional compounds).

Learning Through Practice: The Design and Implementation of an Advanced Integrative Practicum for DrPH Students

Students enrolled in Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) programs accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health complete an applied practice experience resulting in an advanced project. This requirement can vary by program, but it commonly occurs as a singular experience after students have begun coursework. In 2016, we assessed the practicum component for the Doctor of Public Health degree at Claremont Graduate University. We sought feedback from employers and reviewed other professional programs with required practice experiences. Data indicated that successful experiences integrated didactic coursework with practice, suggesting the design of an embedded format versus a stand-alone requirement. The Advanced Integrative Practicum (AIP) was launched in Fall 2017 through a partnership between Claremont Graduate University School of Community and Global Health and Riverside University Health System. The practicum series began with an introduction to the health system through rotations led by Riverside University Health System (AIP-A), continued with students engaging with experts to propose solutions to public health issues (AIP-B), and concluded with a high-level practice-based project (AIP-C) where students, under supervision of a mentor at an external entity, implement projects. Qualitative data obtained through final written syntheses indicated that a majority of students feel the experience was integral to their DrPH training. Steps were taken to address threats to sustainability and a program component that seemed not sufficiently engaging. Although the practicum was not continued in its piloted form, best practices were realized as were lessons learned, ultimately leading to broader modifications in the DrPH program curriculum.

Comparative Analysis of Traditional Polling and Profiling Using Big Data Analysis and Geolocalization Data on the Example of Research Among Sports Fans Participating in the 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship

Purpose. The aim of the paper was multifaceted comparison of two research procedures used to study tourism demand, i.e. classic poll survey and the analysis of smartphone user data using Big Data Analysis (BDA). The aim of the paper was also to review of potential analysis forms that can be performed using data from smartphone users that also contains geolocalization data. Method. The essence of the research study is comparative analysis of two different research methodologies used during the examination of the sports fans of the U21 European Football Championship in Tychy in June 2017. Selected organisational aspects of these studies and the advantages and disadvantages of the research procedures were compared. The study on tourism demand was carried out in two ways. In the first approach, the classic poll method was used in order to survey the tourists at the destination place. The authors conducted a survey with the modified MSSC scale (Motivation Scale for Sport Consumption) on 278 spectators (targeted choice). The results were confronted with the analysis of smartphone users' data (including geolocalization data) using BDA, which was carried out ex-post by an external entity on behalf of AWF Katowice. Findings. The analysis of research procedures brought forward a number of conclusions regarding the advantages and disadvantages of the applied research approaches and allows to estimate the potential of using BDA within the context of tourism demand research. The research analysis gives reasons to revise the classical methodological paradigm on the relatively high costs and difficulties associated with comprehensive research in relation to partial research. There are a number of premises resulting from the smartphoneisation of society, which provide arguments constituting a new paradigm stating that, in the conditions of digitisation of tourist activities, comprehensive research is more and more available and conducting this type of assessment is realistically possible. Research and conclusions limitations. The presented comparative analysis is in fact a case study, which limits the conclusions formulated on its basis. Practical implications. The article may help research teams who plan to or conduct research using data from smartphone users based on BDA, including those who analyse tourist demand research at regional and local levels for public entities. Originality. The novelty of this paper is the attempt to compare research procedures. The work also partially presents the unpublished results of BDA among the fans of the U21 European Football Championships in Tychy in June 2017, which was carried out ex-post by an external entity ordered by AWF Katowice. Type of paper. An article presenting the results of empirical research partly as a case study.

Contract Brewing – Production-Oriented Cooperation in Craft Brewing Industry

The objective of the paper is to analyze the cooperation in craft beer manufacturing in Poland and to identify the specificity of this phenomenon from the perspective of enterprise management. The sales of craft beers in Poland are growing rapidly. Craft beers have about a 0.5% share in the total beer sales value in Poland. The popular practice in the industry is contract brewing. It is an interesting phenomenon in the field of cooperation of enterprises which can be classified and analyzed as a form of: economic cooperation (generally), production cooperation, outsourcing, network and virtual organization and also coopetition. It is a specific business model. Contract brewing is a complex problem the specificity of which emerges on several levels. Firstly, there is a special way to emerge in the market of craft beers, even while not possessing significant funds by the entrepreneur. Secondly, it is a form of cooperation in the field of production which unites efforts on the side of both the customer and the contractor since it is not limited to normal outsourcing of production to an external entity but involves physical production capacity of the contractor and technological know-how of both cooperation parties. Thirdly, it is firmly embedded in human relationships. Fourthly, it can generate coopetitive relations since the brewery accepting the order may conduct its own activity related to production and sales of beer under its own brand.

Supply Chain Modernization

The global supply chain applications are evolving and changing globally. In order to increase success, some processes are now transferred to other firms. By such implementations, it is aimed to focus on the core business and to be successful. 3PL is the use of an external entity to perform some or all of the operations. The 4PL approach is a revolutionary approach to supply chain management. 3PL and 4PL activities are used for many purposes by multinational companies for increasing the productivity and efficiency and for decreasing the overall operational costs. Like all countries, Turkey also faces strategic organizational changes in terms of logistics activities. Modernization of logistic professes are widely examined in the literature. The scope of this chapter is the logistics modernization processes of Turkish companies, and it aims to inform about the modernization processes in Turkey by examining successful real-life examples.

Research on online public participation and online platform construction for historical block protection in the data age

With the implementation of benefit-oriented urban renewal, many historical blocks have lost their identifiability. The historical block is an external entity that is a presentation of urban culture. The disappearance and homogenization of the historical block have directly led to the city losing its place attachment, with the overall identifiability of urban areas becoming weakened. Therefore, it is essential to develop a strategy to protect historical block identifiability in urban planning. Traditional urban planning is dominated by government and developers and is highly dependent on planners’ experience-based judgment but lacks quantitative analysis of public participation. As a result, it is difficult to carry out an objective and comprehensive analysis when facing the complicated situation of historical blocks. The issue of public participation has become an essential issue in the process of urban construction and renewal in China and other developing countries. Based on an analysis of the concept and the characteristics and techniques prevalent in the data age, this article discusses (1) the method and mechanism of public participation in the protection of urban historical blocks and (2) the content and structures of public participation platforms for historical districts. Research indicates that the application of cloud technology and reasonable platform design is the focus of public participation in historical block protection, which can change public participation from passive to active, from “lagged” to “synchronized”.

Agencja rządowa jako pracodawca

GOVERNMENT AGENCIES PERFORM PUBLIC TASKS ON THEIR OWN BEHALF AND ON THEIR OWN RESPONSIBILITYIn the broad meaning, government agencies have the status of an administrative offi ce, a commercial law company or a state legal entity. This means that government agencies are employers which operate in the public sphere. They are separate legal entities, that are represented by their bodies. Executive organs and managers of the agency may be their Presidents, Chiefs or Directors who are legally authorized to represent them and, on the basis of labour law, to perform activities in this fi eld Article 3 of the Labour Code. The public administration body, equipped with the competence to appoint the President, the Chief or the Director of a government agency is the Prime Minister or the competent minister. This means that the appointment of a specifi c person to perform the function of the agency’s body is not made by the employing entity i.e. the employer, but by an external entity, which is the primal body located outside the employer’s structure.
