1. Mathematics Teachers' Responses and Perceptions in Paper Folding Activities in Teaching Mathematics

Author: M. Atnafu
Subjects: paper folding, perception, teaching mathematics, interaction, Education
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine Addis Ababa city schools mathematics teachers responses on the paper folding activities and perception on implementing paper folding in teaching mathematics. Exploratory survey design and quantitative and qualitative research methods were used. 75 mathematics teachers were selected by cluster and simple random sampling. Training manual activities and questionnaire were used for data collection, and analysed using mean, standard deviation, independent samples t-test and qualitative analysis. Some of the findings were the primary school teachers have better perceptions than the secondary school teachers and male teachers have better perceptions than female teachers in the importance of applying paper folding in teaching mathematics than female teachers. The primary and secondary school teachers and male and female teachers have almost similar challenges in implementing paper folding in teaching mathematics. In addition, some of the teachers challenged in drawing of perfect figures, cutting or folding the papers to get the properties of mathematical expressions. Therefore, some of the recommendations were training on paper folding should be given at the beginning of the year for mathematics teachers; paper folding is included in the design of the curriculum; and necessary materials should be provided.

2. Mechanical properties of crepe paper and chickpaper

Author: Ľubomír KUBÍK and Iveta BOĎOVÁ
Subjects: chickpaper, crepe paper, tensile properties, Agriculture
Abstract: The paper deals with the evaluation of the mechanical properties of the crepe paper and chickpaper. The thickness of crepe paper was 300 m with the surface mass 150 g*m-2 and chickpaper paper thickness was 100 m with the surface mass 40 g*m-2. Crepe paper and chickpaper are usually used for chicken breeding. Longitudinal and transversal tensile properties were studied. The tensile behavior was monitored on the motorized test stand ANDILOG STENTOR 1000 (Andilog Technologies, Vitrolles, France).There were measured the tensile properties as modulus of elasticity, maximal elongation, maximal tensile force, tensile strengths, tensile index and strain at break of the longitudinal and transversal samples by testing paper strips. Mean values of the maximal elongation b of longitudinal chickpaper samples were three times smaller than maximal elongation of transversal samples. Mean values of maximal tensile force Ft, tensile strength btensile indexwand maximal strain at break T of longitudinal chickpaper samples were two times smaller than maximal quantities of transversal samples. Mean values of the tensile modulus of elasticity of longitudinal and transversal chickpaper samples were almost equal. Chickpaper mechanical properties in tension were different in the longitudinal and transversal direction of the original paper surface. Mean values of the maximal elongation b and maximal strain at break T of longitudinal crepe paper samples were sixty times smaller than maximal elongation and maximal strain at break of transversal samples. Mean values of maximal tensile force Ft, tensile strength bandtensile indexwof longitudinal crepe paper samples were fourth times smaller than maximal quantities of transversal samples. Mean values of the tensile modulus of elasticity of longitudinal samples of crepe paper were thirty eight times smaller than values of transversal samples.

3. MODERN PARALLELS CAUSED BY READING THE STORY KOMATSU SAKE 'PAPER OR HAIR'

Author: IAKOVLEVA, E.L
Subjects: Economics as a science, HB71-74, Education
Abstract: In the optics of attention was the story of the Japanese writer Komatsu Sake "Paper or hair", written in 1963. According to the content, the loss of paper changed the usual way of life of people, becoming a source of existential fears. As we believe, the artistic narrative anticipates the events of our time associated with the spread of the coronavirus infection COVID-19. An artistic description of the situation by a Japanese writer, a phenomenological immersion in reality and theoretical reflections by M. Heidegger's work on the existential of fear helped to reconstruct the psychological States of people in the context of a pandemic and to identify the structure of fear. In modern life, fear manifests itself in three aspects: before-than fear, fearfulness and about-than fear. As a result of the all-embracing nature of fear, the fearogenicity of being is born, which violates the stability of the individual's existence, its being in, dwelling in, and mastering with. The above leads to the individual's awareness of the direction of life towards death, which forces him to adapt to new conditions. As a support of the personality in its opposition to fear, we can call hope and effective manifestations that perform the role of care.

4. A Scandinavian Island in a Slavonic Linguistic Environment. The Dialect of Gammalsvenskby: Nouns (Paper 2)

Author: Alexander E. Mankov
Subjects: documentary linguistics, endangered language, ﬁeld linguistics, Slavic-Germanic language contact, Swedish dialectology, East Swedish dialects, Swedish dialects of Estonia, the village of Gammalsvenskby, dialect morphology, dialect vocabulary, Slavic languages. Baltic languages. Albanian languages, PG1-9665
Abstract: This paper continues the series of publications on the morphology of the dialect of Staroshvedskoye (Sw. Gammalsvenskby), which is the only surviving Scandinavian dialect in the territory of the former Soviet Union. The village of Staroshvedskoye is located in the Kherson region, Ukraine. Its Swedish dialect historically belongs to the group of Swedish dialects of Estonia and goes back to the dialect of the island of Dagö (Hiiumaa). The dialect of Gammalsvenskby is of interest to slavists as an example of a language island in the Slavonic environment. From around the 1950s, the main spoken language of all village residents, including dialect speakers, has been surzhik. Due to the complete lack of studies of the present-day dialect and because of the severe endangerment in which the dialect is currently situated, the most urgent task is to collect, classify, and publish the factual material. This paper introduces comprehensive material on nouns in the conservative variety of the present-day dialect. It lists all masculine nouns of types 1b, c, d, and e together with their cognates from Estonian Swedish dialects; comments on the history of the forms are given as well. The sources for the material presented here are interviews with speakers of the conservative variety of the dialect recorded by the author during ﬁeldwork in the village from 2004 to 2013. We plan to publish nouns of other types in later articles.

8. INFLUENCE OF SALINITY ON CITRUS: A REVIEW PAPER

Author: ADNAN Al-Yassin
Subjects: citrus, irrigation, salinity, rootstock-scion interaction, Agriculture
Abstract: Due to the rapid expansion of irrigated agriculture, effi cient use of the limited water resources in arid and semi-arid regions is becoming more and more vital. However, water salinity is a major problem due to its negative infl uence on the yields of many crops. It reduces citrus trees’ growth and causes physiological disorders. Primarily salt-stress lowers net CO2 assimilation, stomatal conductance, and water potential of citrus tree leaves, in addition to accumulation of excessive concentration of Chloride or Sodium in leaves. A great deal of research indicates that citrus have the genetic potential to be salt-sensitive; however inheritance studies in citrus are scarce. In this paper the adverse of effects of salinity on physiological aspects of citrus are reviewed. The review summarizes the prevailing state of knowledge about the responses and tolerance of citrus trees to salinity.

18. Modern Training Tools for Binding Design and Paper Conservation of Antique Books, Albums and Documents (BBINDING)

Author: Atanasova, Daniela, Petkov, Rosen, and Licheva, Elitsa
Subjects: bookbinding, the conservation and restoration
Abstract: Report published in the Proceedings of the National Conference on "Education in the Information Society", Plovdiv, May, 2013 In parallel to the declining large scale bookbinding workshops some new positive tendencies occurred. Last few decades there is an increasing demand for artistic bindings, increasing awareness of the old libraries and archives about their collections and the expansion of the Internet trade with old books. These tendencies are encouraging the appearance of new generation of bookbinders. In relation to the bookbinding, the conservation and restoration area grows.But most of the existing training materials are covering part of the problems and are rather old fashioned. There is a lack of training tools, and especially tools focusing on skills like entrepreneurship, intercultural learning and green skills in relation to the work of the “modern” bookbinders.

Abstract: The study was conducted in the period 2019 - 2020 in the field of the Experimental Station for Tobacco - Rila, at the Institute of Tobacco and Tobacco Products - Markovo. Two new lines of oriental tobacco and three varieties of high quality tobacco ecotype Dupnitsa - Rila 82, Dupnitsa 160 and Rila 544 (standard) are included. Lines 505 and 506 were created as a result of inter-varietal hybridization between varieties of Dupnitsa ecotype and introduced variety of Prilep ecotype (Republic of Northern Macedonia). Biometric measurements were performed on the following indicators: plant height (cm), number of leaves, length and width of 14- leaf. Yeald (kg / da) and quality of dry tobacco were reported. А chemical analysis was performed for the most important chemical indicators - nicotine, sugars (soluble carbohydrates), total nitrogen. Mathematical evaluation of morphological and economic features was performed by analysis of variance.The data show that the lines 505 and 506 have a higher yield compared to the control and significantly exceed it in quality. A valuable source material for the selection of oriental tobacco ecotype Dupnitsa has been created. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Author: Джапаров, Пламен
Subjects: GENERATIVE artificial intelligence, TECHNOLOGICAL innovations, LANGUAGE models, IN-house services (Business), CHATGPT
Abstract: There is no doubt that the emergence of ChatGPT in November 2022 has become one of the most significant technological events in recent decades. The new-generation chat platform developed by OpenAI has caused a veritable "tsunami" of interest in its underlying Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI). Business organizations in all economic areas are dramatically increasing their investments in this new technology and launching pilot projects testing its capabilities. Banks are no exception to this trend. With the vast amounts of data at their disposal and ever-increasing user demands, they are quickly realizing that Gen AI promises numerous benefits both concerning customer service and in terms of internal banking processes and operations. This paper examines the characteristics of generative artificial intelligence by comparing it with traditional AI models that have been used in banks. The main factors that make banking the perfect place for the application of the new technology are brought out. Based on this, the analysis focuses on surveying the many potential benefits of its implementation – from improving customer experiences, through better risk management, to optimizing the work of back-office employees and developers.

Abstract: Since the availability of micronutrients in agricultural soil are strongly depended on changes in soil characteristics, microfertilizers are one of the most effective means of influencing crop productivity and product quality. The use of nanoparticles of metals compensates for the loss of microelements, increases the stress tolerance of plants, both of which improve the quality of the final product. The aim of the research was to study the characteristics of a colloidal solution of metal nanoparticles (Mn, Cu, Zn, Ag, Fe) using X-ray diffraction to estimate the prospects of using them in agrotechnology. The objectives of the study included optimizing the method for treating plants and determining effective concentrations of metal nanoparticles and their composition, combined with traditional fertilizers (NPK), for enhancing soybean productivity. The objects of the study were varieties of soybean recommended for the forest-steppe ecoregion of Ukraine: ultra-early and early maturing Annushka and Ustya, respectively. The results obtained indicate the feasibility of using of a colloidal solution of metal nanoparticles as fertilizer due to its properties (phase composition, size) in agricultural technologies for soybean, which improves the productivity of this crop.

28. Генотипни различия в растежната активност на семената от сортове зимен ечемик.

Author: Добрева, Веселина
Abstract: At the Institute of Agriculture - Karnobat, Bulgaria, laboratory research was conducted on 5 varieties of two-row and 5 varieties of multi-row winter barley. The aim of the research is to determine the genotypic differences in the initial growth of winter barley varieties. The varieties were studied in a laboratory experiment using the roll method. Number of indicators number of roots (number), length of roots (cm), length of the first leaf (cm) were recorded. 20 seeds of each variety were placed on filter paper in 3 replicates. The rolls are immersed in water and after 10 days the length of the first leaf, the number of roots and their length are counted. The results of the analysis show that Zahir and Alexan varieties form the largest number of roots. The Lardeya and Bozhin varieties form the smallest number of roots. The Kuber and Siela varieties have the longest root length and the first leaf. The varieties Zahir and Achinora have the smallest root length, and Lardea and Zemela have the smallest length of the first leaf. To improve the length of the first leaf, good combinations are expected when crossing the varieties Daria, Bozhin with Alexan, Achinora. Siela, Zemela, Alexan and Achinora varieties are genetically the most distant from Lardea, Kuber and Zahir in terms of length and number of roots. It is recommended to use them for crosses in order to create a better root system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Scientific Evaluation and estimation of the contribution to the development of the respective research domain or field of practice of the ��Stavanger Declaration Concerning the Future of Reading�� published in January 2019 (COST E-READ, Stavanger Declaration Concerning the Future of Reading. 2019. One of the main findings is that as screen use continues to grow, it will be one of the urgent challenges to discover ways in which to facilitate deep reading of long-form texts in a screen environment. In the light of the findings and the recommendations for future research on the reading and the readers, formulated in the Declaration, the author propose two directions for future research: Is our susceptibility to disinformation and misinformation digital publications and so-called ��deep fakes�� amplified by overconfidence in our basic reading skills? Is the communication theory of reading is responsible for the correction of all mistakes during the preparation of the future reader, for removal of the ��contaminations��, as well as the maintaining of ��cleanliness�� in all reading practices? The publication contains a translation of the Stavanger Declaration into Bulgarian., This publication was made possible by a grant from the Sofia University Science Fund through the Grant Number 80-10-205/17.04.2019., {"references":["COST E-READ (2019).

Author: Косев, Светослав Ангел&
Abstract: In the last few years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has gained immense popularity for one of its abilities, namely to create images from textual prompt. This has sparked an extremely wide controversy among visual artists and their analysts, as well as the entire community. One of the most important and distinctive questions is, what is the ethical boundary that can be set in the use of this technology and what is the way it can be used in different forms of visual art? The paper discusses several different aspects of using artificial intelligence for creation of images. Thay can be categorized as positive in certain situations and negative in others.

Author: Блок, Уолтър Е.
Subjects: DEMAND function, SUPPLY & demand, APATHY, PHILOSOPHERS, HYPOTHESIS
Abstract: Nozick (1977) set a challenge for Austrian economics. On the one hand, this school of thought rejects the notion of indifference, and along with it, indifference curves. On the other hand, the praxeological school accepts the concepts of supply and demand curves. But the latter supposition logically implies indifference, in that the persons for whom the supply and demand curves apply look upon all the constituent items as identical; if not, these diagrams could not be drawn. A similar account applies to diminishing marginal utility, another tool of economic analysis accepted by Austrians. But this, too, implies indifference, at least according to Nozick. Block (1980) responded critically to Nozick (1977). Hoppe (2005, 2009), a leading Austrian economist, agreed with Block that Nozick was in error, but also rejected Block’s specific refutation this eminent philosopher’s critique. Wysocki (2021) sided with Nozick and Hoppe in this debate. The present paper is an attempt to support the Blockian view vis a vis that of these three scholars. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

36. Икономическа жизнеспособност на малките стопанства в планинските райони.

Author: Фиданска, Божура
Abstract: The topic of farm viability is very important and widely discussed in scientific studies. It is important not only for the farms themselves, but also for all agricultural entities. Its relevance is based on the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy 2014 – 2020, which recognizes increasing the viability of small and medium-sized farms as one of its priority objectives. Increasing the viability of farms is sought by promoting entrepreneurship among farms, creating new jobs and taking measures against the decline of the rural population, rather than increasing the size of farms. The aim of this paper is to investigate the level of economic viability of small farms in mountain areas. For the classification of individual small farms in the mountain lessfavoured areas thus defined, the variance analysis developed by P.L. Fischer (ANOVA - Analysis of Variance) was used, analysing the relationship between two random variables – dependent and independent (also called the factor). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Subjects: ARCHAEOLOGICAL excavations, NINETEENTH century, UNDERWATER archaeology, SHIPYARDS, SHIPWRECKS, BRASS
Abstract: With this text I am publishing three identical brass spikes with production stamps, from the hull of the Saint Nicholas Bay Shipwreck (SNBS). While identical, the stamps were illegible to the naked eye. By deciphering one of them, we were able to establish that they relay the name of the largest Austro-Hungarian private shipyard of the 'Long nineteenth century,' the Technical Establishment of Trieste (Stabilimento Tecnico Triestino, 1857-1929). The production stamps provided the latest terminus post quem for the formation of the archaeological site in Saint Nicholas Bay and a tangible link between the historic ship, as presented in the archaeological record, and the Austro-Hungarian coast of the Adriatic Sea. This paper summarises the archaeology of the SNBS, discusses the fastening system of its wooden hull, analyses the three artefacts and assesses their significance for the interpretation of the underwater archaeological site.

Author: Вандова, Веселина
Subjects: WATERSHEDS, FIGURINES, NEOLITHIC Period, GORGES, TORSO
Abstract: The current paper discusses the Late Neolithic anthropomorphic figurines with a hollow body originating from three settlements in the Struma River Valley to the north of the Kresna Gorge: Bersin, Mursalevo - Gerena locality and Kocherinovo - Ganevi Nivi locality. Only upper body fragments are preserved. Three groups are defined based on the typical features of the upper half of the body, the cavity shape and its location. The largest group has been divided to subgroups depending on the way the head and the upper torso around the breasts are shaped, as well as the transition to the abdomen and the bottom. The systematisation takes into account the fragmentary state of the objects. The first group consists of anthropomorphic figurines with elongated, almost cylindrical, flattened-cylindrical (sometimes widening at the top) or flat head. All of them have arms shaped as horizontally perforated short side knobs. The body is hollow and bell-shaped in the preserved part. This shape suggests that the lower half was a separate piece, and the two would attach to form the body. A fragmented figurine from Kocherinovo, with compactly shaped legs divided by a vertical groove, offers an example for a possible shaping of the lower part. The other two groups are represented by single examples. Late Neolithic hollow anthropomorphic figurines are discovered at sites dated to various phases of the Late Neolithic along the Struma River Valley to the north of the Kresna Gorge. Similar artefacts have been published within the catchment area of the Vardar River. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Subjects: regional development, principal components, correlation matrix, pca, Agriculture
Abstract: This paper primarily aims to address aspects related to regional development in Romania, which has become a challenge both at the national and global level. The way regional development is approached is different, depending on the particularities of each country, as well as the governing ideologies in each state. However, the goal is common, one aims at shaping a competitive and strong economy, a high standard of living, access to education and medical assistance. The purpose of the paper is to compare socio-economic indicators from two time periods, to highlight similarities and differences and to observe their evolution within a 10-year timespan. The method used is Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to identify groups of statistical indicators (variables) that explain the level of development within a sample, in our case the development regions of Romania. In the context of regional development, PCA can be applied to extract relevant information about economic, social or demographic variability in different regions of the country. Several objectives of regional development analyzed through the lens of this method were pursued: identification of regional disparities, optimization of resource allocation, evaluation of the determining factors of economic development, monitoring of the impact of regional policies. Following the PCA analysis, it was observed that regional development cannot be evaluated by means of variables belonging to a single sector. This method allowed the identification of the variables that have the greatest weight describing economic, social, educational and infrastructure aspects. PCA was applied for two time periods and similar situations were obtained, the first main component called by the authors the economic statistics includes for both periods the indicators: Gross average nominal salary gain, GDP by development regions, Employees from research and development activity at the end of the year, Beds in health facilities (state and private). The second component was called social statistics and includes the indicator Employment rate in working age (15-64 years), and the third component called agricultural statistics includes the indicator Population served by the public water supply system. As a conclusion, we consider that the situations are not overlapping because there are indicators that have undergone changes during the 10 years, which is expected and normal in regional development. For example, the number of graduates decreased due to the continuously decreasing birth rate, the vacancy rate decreased in 2018-2019 compared to 2008-2009 because Romania went through the financial economic crisis.

46. The Internet – Support or Threat to Learning Habits of the Younger Generation?

Author: Laura Radulian
Subjects: internet, learning, individualized learning, collaborative learning, Social history and conditions. Social problems. Social reform, HN1-995
Abstract: I've often heard young students say, "Let me check on the internet," when they're unsure of an answer. It's also evident that traditional paper dictionaries are rarely used nowadays, with foreign language words being automatically translated online. While the internet provides quick access to information, the accuracy of these answers needs research on sources and may require deep reading of different materials. This raises questions about the internet's role as a learning tool and how it's shaping our learning habits. Conducted in February 2024, a survey among 35 Romanian high school students aged 15-19 serves as the basis for this paper, which seeks to delve into students' internet usage for learning, their platform preferences, and their perceptions of how internet usage affects their learning styles. In conclusion, the paper will underscore the evolving learning needs identified and suggest ways educators can adapt to maintain students' interest in learning, guiding them towards focused research topics that align with their passions and future career aspirations.

Abstract: Private labels are gaining ground in almost all product categories today, especially in the food trade. In the case of food, the share and penetration of private labels has been a success story for food retailers worldwide, and in Europe their market share has been steadily increasing in recent years. Although they were initially seen as a low-cost alternative for consumers, many retailers have now recognised their potential to differentiate themselves from their competitors and increase profits. With private labels, businesses can differentiate themselves more easily from their competitors and increase their profits due to their high margin content. The present paper focuses on presenting some partial results of a broader research, with the primary aim of highlighting the role and place of private brands in consumer decisions. We conducted primary, quantitative research using survey methods. We investigated the attitudes, attitudes, and knowledge of the respondents towards private brands in comparison to manufacturer brands. We investigated the circumstances of purchase and the factors influencing the purchase decision-making process among groups with different socio-demographic characteristics. Our research results are mostly in harmony with the literature and secondary research, with no significant differences. Overall, it can be concluded that Hungarian consumers are willing to buy private brands and are familiar with them when purchasing food. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: The aim of the paper is to examine the changes in wine consumption habits in the last few years and the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic in Hungary, the changes in international wine trade regarding the online and offline sales trends. The pandemic caused a great challenge for the wine sector, since many consumption premises (restaurants, events) could not be in operation, however, with the development of the online trade a sales channel became stronger. Surveys related to wine consumption and trade in Hungary are usually ad hoc, and barely deal with online shopping. At the same time, the Great Wine Test follow the domestic wine consumption and purchasing habits by the same questionary from 2016, therefore it is suitable to track the possible changes. This study analyses the online buying tendencies based on the 2016, 2018 and 2021 data with a sample of 27993, 8552, and 1461 respectively, to compare the years before and after the pandemic. Research questions were as follows: had the wine consumption been changed in this period and was there any shift towards online wine purchasing. Results show that there are no significant changes in most of the indicators, however, the proportion of online purchasing notably increased in the years of the pandemic. It is important to note that no significant change took place in the total sales volume. Results on online buying habits show that there were similar changes in Hungary to other markets.

49. СМИРЕНИЕТО НА ЦАРЯ (СТАРОЗАВЕТНИТЕ ЧЕТИВА В НАВЕЧЕРИЕТО НА ВХОД ГОСПОДЕН В ИЕРУСАЛИМ).

Author: Кънчева, Стефка
Abstract: The solemn entry of the Lord Jesus Christ into Jerusalem is described by the four evangelists. With the Lord's entrance into Jerusalem, the road to His suffering begins. The worship glorifies Christ as God and King - Victor and Saviour, but it also mentions the coming Passover and voluntary suffering. The feast, located after the Great Lent and preceding Holy Week and Pascha, has a distinctly eschatological character. Three Old Testament readings (paroemias) are read on the eve of Palm Sunday: Gen. 49:1-2, 8-12, Zeph. 3:14-19, and Zech. 9:9-15. The paper presents an interpretation of the pericopes through the writings of the Holy Fathers and the hymnography of the Orthodox Church. The theme of the humility of the King is a kind of "gateway" to the next Holy Week, when the Creator of heaven and earth will suffer and die at the hands of His creatures in order to conquer death and exalt the nature of Adam.

50. ПРОЛОЖНИТЕ ЖИТИЯ ЗА СВ. НИКОЛА ЧУДОТВОРЕЦ В ЮЖНОСЛАВЯНСКАТА КНИЖНИНА ПРЕЗ СРЕДНОВЕКОВИЕТО

Author: СТАНКОВА, РАДОСЛАВА
Abstract: The article deals with the prologue (synaxarion) Vitae of St. Nicholas in Slavonic Cyrillic literature from the 13th to the 17th century. These texts function within the hymnographic composition practice and can be found in two types of liturgical books - the Prologue and the Menaion. They are usually extracts from extensive narratives, which is why this paper also looks at texts from two other types of medieval books (the Panegyric and the Reading Menaion) that contain The Acts of St. Nicholas, The Miracles of St. Nicholas and the so-called „Another" Vita - St. Nicholas of Sion Vita. These texts also functioned as synaxarion vitae. The Vita of St. Nicholas in the Simple Prologue is the shortest and earliest version of a hagiographic narrative about the saint translated in Bulgaria during the First Bulgarian Empire, and it is very rarely found in the hymnographic composition of the Menaion. St. Nicholas' Vita in the Turnovo translation of the Verse Prologue is the most popular and common after the sixth song of the canon in the hymnographic composition practice. That Vita is a more extensive version of the Acts of St. Nicholas, based on the Metaphrastian Vita, preceded by a verse and an added miracle of St. Nicholas. The article mentions two interesting cases in Serbian menaia of the 15th century, which present different traditions to place the synaxarion texts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
