Starting from the fact that in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina (administrative-territorial unit within the Republic of Serbia) the Romanian language is one of the six official languages, the use of this language is present in all the state institutions, in the bodies of local self-government in the Serbian Banat (which is geographically and administratively located within Vojvodina) where the Romanian minority lives, in schools, mass-media, churches, cultural houses and non-governmental associations. One of the important achievements of the use of the Romanian language in the private and public life of the Romanians in Vojvodina is the presence of a rich book of Romanian books in numerous libraries on the territory of this province, starting from school, university, communal, parochial libraries, libraries associations and institutions representing the Romanian culture and identity in this space, to the libraries of institutions that do not have a Romanian character, but which, in addition to books in Serbian, also holds books of all the congregational peoples of Vojvodina, and book funds in various modal languages (such as, for example, Matica srpska Library in Novi Sad). Last but not least, the Romanian book is also preserved in numerous private libraries found in the Romanian intellectuals' property in the area or, in some cases, in baptized and consecrated collectors.

In Poland, Jędrzej Śniadecki was a continuator and one of the promoters of the French school of chemistry, initiated by the works of Antoine Lavoisier. Śniadecki came into contact with the foundations of this school, which included a new definition of the chemical elements, the principle of mass conservation and the oxygen theory of combustion, while still studying at the university in Kraków. His later studies at European universities and his knowledge of the most recent literature ultimately channelled his views on chemistry. This was reflected in Śniadecki’s academic publications, in particular in his textbook: Początki chemii: stosownie do teraźniejszego tey umiejętności stanu dla pożytku uczniów i słuchaczów ułożony y za wzór lekcyi akademickich służyć mające (The Beginnings of Chemistry: Composed in Accordance with the Current State of This Skill for the Benefit of Students and Auditors to Be Used as a Model for Academic Classes) Vilnius, 1800. It was the first original chemistry textbook in the Polish language. The author used his own chemical terminology, modelled after the new French terminology. The Polish systemic chemical terminology, which conveyed information about the type and composition of a given substance, had been introduced by Śniadecki three years earlier, during his lectures at Vilnius University. The names proposed by Śniadecki caught on and were used in Poland for several decades. Jędrzej Śniadecki’s original contribution to global science was his theory that explained the phenomenon of life and the interdependencies between matter in the animate and inanimate world. This theory, published in the years 1804–1811, in Warsaw in three parts, was translated into German and French. The Polish edition was entitled Jędrzeja Śniadeckiego medycyny doktora Teoria jestestw organicznych ( Theory of Organic Beings by Jędrzej Śniadecki, Medical Doctor). The first part was of great significance for the development of organic chemistry. When this work is compared with later publications by Justus Liebig, it can be shown that Śniadecki’s views had an impact on the writings of this German scholar.

Jędrzej Śniadecki owed his first contact with pharmacy to Jan Andrzej Szaster (1746–1793), a pharmacist from Kraków and the owner of a pharmacy called “Pod Słońcem”(“Under the Sun”), the first professor of pharmacy and medical matters in Poland. It took place during Śniadecki’s studies at the Principal School of the Realm in Kraków. He broadened his knowledge of medicinal products during his studies abroad. Upon his arrival in Vilnius in 1797, he became the head of the department of chemistry and pharmacy at Vilnius University, where he taught pharmacy in the years 1797–1804. Handwritten texts of his lectures have been preserved in the Archive, thanks to which we can precisely understand their scope today. On behalf of the university, Jędrzej Śniadecki managed the transformation of the former Jesuit Pharmacy into the University Pharmacy.

he year 2018 marked the 250th birthday anniversary of Jędrzej Śniadecki (30 Nov 1768–11 May 1838), a renowned Polish chemist, doctor and columnist. Jędrzej, the younger brother of Jan Śniadecki, a Polish mathematician and astronomer, was born in Radlewo near Żnin in Greater Poland. His family and professional life was associated with Vilnius. From 1803, he was a professor of chemistry and medicine at the Principal School of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which then became the Imperial University of Vilnius. He was the author of the first chemistry textbook in Polish (1800) and an innovative work entitled Teoria jestestw organicznych (Theory of Organic Beings) (1804).The birthday of Jędrzej Śniadecki was celebrated in the three countries to which his fate was tied: Belarus, Lithuania and Poland.Celebrations in Poland:The year-long celebrations in Poland started on 28 January 2018 with a concert at the Main University Auditorium of the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. It was organized by the PoznańSociety of Jędrzej Śniadecki, Karol Olszewski and Zygmunt Wróblewski.In March 2018, celebrations were inaugurated by the town of Żnin, with the event being attended by descendants of the Śniadecki family: Prof. Antonina Magdalena Śniadecki-‑Kotarska, Senator Piotr Łukasz Juliusz Andrzejewski and Krzysztof Śniadecki-Lempke. A lecture on Jędrzej Śniadecki and the Society of Rascals was delivered by Emilia Maria Iwaszkiewicz, PhD, from Vilnius University. The University of Science and Technology in Bydgoszcz (UTP) also commemorated the scholars it has chosen as its namesakes, that is Jan Śniadecki and Jędrzej Śniadecki. A report on the event and an article by Emilia M. Iwaszkiewicz, PhD, are available in Magazyn UTP Format 2.0 No. 3 from July 2018.In Kraków, during the 61st Scientific Meeting of the Polish Chemical Society, a session was organized entitled “Jędrzej Śniadecki and his legacy”. During the session, five papers were delivered which presented Jędrzej Śniadecki, his academic and journalistic output and memorabilia related to him.Celebrations in Lithuania:On 10 September 2018, Vilnius City Hall held a conference attended by Urszula Doroszewska, the Polish ambassador to Lithuania, and Edyta Tamošiūnaitė, the Deputy Mayor of Vilnius, as well as Polish and Lithuanian scholars. On 11–13 October 2018, at the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences was held the 4th Oxygenalia International Conference.Belarus:The memory of Jędrzej Śniadecki is also cherished in Belarus, especially in Gorodniki where he is buried and at the nearby school in Kolchuny, which houses a small museum commemorating him and other scholars with ties to this region.

While service quality is defined as a concept that explains the extent to which a business can meet customer expectations, the concept of re-creation is related to the attitudes of individuals to be personally renewed towards the actions they do. The common feature of these two concepts is;they are concepts based directly on individuals' perspectives and personal evaluations for a service received, an activity involved, etc. However, there is an important deficiency in the relationship between these two structures, which have common points in the literature. The main purpose of the research is to examine the relationship between service quality and renewal concepts. The population of the research consists of individuals visiting Hatay Archeology Museum in 2020. Survey technique was used as a data collection tool in the research and 404 valid survey data were obtained. In line with the purposes of the research, the data obtained; frequency analysis, validity and reliability tests, normality test, correlation (correlation) and regression(effect) analyzes were applied. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that there was a positive and statistically significant relationship between the service quality perceptions of the participants and their renewal levels. In addition, as a result of the regression analysis based on this relationship, it was determined that the service quality perceptions of the participants had a positive and statistically significant effect on the renewal levels.

While making an inventory of stone monuments belonging to the ruins of St. Francis Church at Senj, there were noted three inscriptions from Roman times. The author, while dealing with this subject in his article, presents the restitution of their texts, datesthem and pays special attention to the analyzes of the dalas presented therein. The inscriptions, which were engraved by M. Gnorius Satyrus to his daughter Gnoriae Secundinae and by Flavia Pročula to her husband lusto Neapolitano, are being in fact the epitaphs. The first inscription was dated first half of the 2nd c. and the other one the end of 3rd c. resp. early 4th c. The persons, mentioned in those epitaphs, are of eastern origin, but specially interesting assumption in the context is that lustus was Christian. The third inscription belongs to a group of inscriptions having public character and speaks about enlargement of the sanctuary of the God Liber. It is being dated about 2ndcentury.

This paper attempts to answer two questions: first, how aestheticization and mediatization of representations of the past affects the possibility of their transmission between milieus distinguished by incompatible social memories, identifications or value and symbolic systems; second, how aestheticization of narratives of the past can affect the ability of their recipients to distinguish between individuals and collectives. The key concept is the degree of reification of collectives and the impact of such reification on the possibility to communicate representations of traumatic experiences of individuals. The author focuses on some feature films and analyses their ability to promote or inhibit dehumanization of individuals.

The Piccolomini Library was built in the left nave in front of the transept of the Santa Maria Assunta Cathedral of Siena. Built in 1492, this monumental room is one of the trademarks of both Siena and Pope Pius III, honoring the life and work of Enea Silvio Piccolomini (the Humanist Pope Pius II). The monumental room was erected in 1492. Ten years later, a contract was stipulated between the Cardinal Francesco Tedeschini Piccolomini (Pope Pius III) and Pinturicchio who was entrusted with decorating the Library. After the sudden death of Pope Pius III, on October 18, 1503, his nephews, Andrea and Giacomo, respected his will and finished the Library. However, the collection of books left behind by Pope Pius II that were supposed to be destined for the Piccolomini Library, never actually arrived in Siena. The iconography depicted by Pinturicchio with the help of Amico Aspertini and a young Raffaello Sanzio contradicts the initial purpose of this space and it is far from being similar to its contemporary or future libraries, resembling more the medieval capitulary libraries, annexed to the northern flank of the cathedrals, far less impressive in size in comparison to the Piccolomini Library. The entire look of the library is more akin to that of a chapel. This is juxtaposed, however, with the frescoes on the walls which depict the life and work of Piccolomini. With their antique rather than religious nature, they contribute to the overall uniqueness of the entire space, mirroring the complex personality and life of Pope Pius II.

The Library of the Holy Synod was established in 1872 as a documentation center for the Romanian Orthodox bishops. The collections were formed from donations and various purchases. The library has been operating since 1912 in the Palace of the Holy Synod at Antim Monastery. Between 1959 and 1977, under the rule of Patriarch Justinian Marina, the library was reorganized based on scientific criteria and provided with appropriate facilities. Nowadays, the Library of the Holy Synod has valuable collections of manuscripts, old books and periodicals and also modern theological books. The library has also a laboratory for book repair and restoration and it is open to the interested public. Exhibitions, book launches and international scientific colloquia are organized each year.

Not long before his death, in 1973, Iustin Handrea, the well-known collector from Maioreşti, offered the Orthodox Protopope of Tîrgu Mureş, David Lazăr, the last old Romanian books that were part of his collection, receiving in return a rather important amount of money. Aware of their value, David Lazăr entrusted them to Miss Elena Mihu, working at Oficiul de Patrimoniu Mureş. The last known information about them comes from the 70s, when they were handed to the Mureş County Library.An inventory carried out in 2012 led to the discovery of 2 boxes containing 23 old Romanian books which were identified as coming from the Handrea collection.After 4 decades, the 23 books were reintroduced into the scientific circuit, being donated to the Reghin Etnographic Museum in order to recreate the Handrea collection which can be found there. In fact, these 23 books are the only objects that are sure to come from that collection.

The following article examines museums as meeting points, as open and inviting places for encounters and interactions, shaped by the presence of cultural assets, and thus offering not only physical-geographical but also temporal, emotional and mental spaces for diverse and complex exchange and reflection. These considerations build on the EU project REACH, which provided the opportunity to carry out extensive studies and activities on participatory initiatives in the field of cultural heritage. Cultural heritage institutions were an important pillar of this project and our contribution was focused in particular on museums. A short overview of our work and its guiding intellectual principles will be presented here together with the insights gained through our international workshop and during our survey. Even though the study included only a small sample, it could still highlight a very diverse range of activities and frameworks, and reveal the highly complex character of participatory activities, and of museums and their work. Furthermore, the societal relevance of historico-cultural collections and the multidimensional value of interaction could be underlined. By relating these findings to the current debate on the institution of museum, it has been possible to reflect on the changes that museums are undergoing as a result of the altering attitudes, knowledge, experiences, behaviour and expectations both among the public and within the institutions themselves. In addition, it was of special concern to accentuate the need of modified framework conditions and of multilateral commitments and responsibilities. With this article, I would like to contribute to the ongoing debate on the further development of museums and to promote a rather simple and open form of their understanding and development as meeting points.

This paper presents a general view of a proposal for a digital reinterpretation of a collection of scientific instruments belonging to the Physics Cabinet of the Science Museum of the University of Coimbra. In this cataloging, the local and global aspects of each instrument are inventoried and represented by a semantic network of concepts, facts, ideas, and narratives, resulting in a knowledge base about scientific physics instruments. This knowledge base will be made available to students, researchers, and the general public through a mobile phone application. The article also offers a review of the transformations of the conceptual models of material culture studies related to scientific instruments and adds some contributions to this field of study.

This article concerns medicinal preparations from the first European pharmacopoeia listed on the cartouches of apothecary majolica vessels (16th‒18th century) from the Grabowski collection at the Museum of Pharmacy in Kraków. The materials for comparison are three 16th-century works: Ricettario Fiorentino (1550), Pharmacopoea by J. Placotomus (1560) and Dispensatorium by V. Cordus (1563). The inscriptions on the apothecary jars for which they were meant comprise greatly important information carriers about medicine in the old days. Their deciphering can also be helpful when dating these objects.
