After the fulfilment of the IUPAC criteria for the discovery of new elements, the priority for the discovery of element 113 has been judged to the RIKEN collaboration team in Japan, the priority for the discovery of elements 115 and 117 – to the Dubna – Livermore – Oak Ridge collaboration and the priority for the discovery of element 118 – to the Dubna – Livermore collaboration. The discoverers proposed names and symbols of the new elements: nihonium for element 113 (symbol Nh); moscovium for element 115 (symbol Mc); tennessine for element 117 (symbol Ts); oganesson for element 118 (symbol Og). After expert and public review, the proposed names and symbols have been approved. The translation of the elements names from English to Bulgarian was commented since direct translation is not always possible. After approval of the names of elements 113, 115, 117 and 118, the seventh period of the periodic table of the chemical elements is complete.

Studies in large cities revealed that indoor air pollution concentrations are at such levels where it can cause serious health impacts. The main source of the release of substances in the environment is the emission of gases (produced during the combustion process) such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, ammonia and others. In this study the assessment of indoor air quality in 26 places in Prishtina city were investigated and the main objective of this study was monitoring of the air quality through the determination of gases concentration of C02, C0, N0x and S02. Also the ratio of CO2/CO2+CO was calculated. Concentrations of CO2, CO, SO2 and NOx were determined using “Dräger” instrument, model “X-am 7000 digital gas monitor”. Environmental risk assessment of air quality was done by comparing the obtained results with air WHO standards. During that period were found a permanent presence of some toxic gases in high concentrations in indoor areas. Results show that CO2 levels were ranged 300-4000 ppmv. The concentration of CO was ranged 0.6-17 ppmv and was reported to be under limits value in all locations. Also concentrations of SO2 and NOx (except air sample S6) were reported to be under WHO air limits value. According to gases concentration, many locations show values characteristic for highly and extremely contaminated indoor places.

The Victorian Age (1837 – 1901) is the famous period of British Queen Victoria’s rule. At the border between the two centuries, it is quite natural for the Victorian man to look at the future of mankind in 100 years. The reasons for this interest are determined by the changes in the economic and spiritual sphere. The successful continuation of the industrial revolution, especially in technology, the intensive infrastructure development, the construction of new railways, the active colonial expansion of England in Asia and Africa, stimulate such interest.The article discusses the Victorian vision of the world for the year 2000. A project under the title: “Life in 2000” was recorded on the occasion of celebrating the year 1900. It represents a series of 12 postcards produced by the leading Dutch producer of chocolate “Theodor Hildebrand and son” who, past the pastries, undertake the printing of images illustrating the man’s ideas about the type of world after 100 years. These ideas are extremely entertaining with their subject matter and because some of them have found a place in today’s modern day.

Taboo issue of the public sphere, understood as the “inarticulate” prohibition of the reflection of fundamental foundations of social discourse itself, is one of the principal elements that prevent conclusive analysis of the mechanisms of power in the symbolic space. Therefore, the main aim of the present paper is to reveal – by using the paradigm of methodological cosmopolitanism (Ulrich Beck) – the problematic areas of – what Pierre Bourdieu has called – symbolic violence, and what the proposed approach here is synonymous with the subtle and often di cult to articulate mechanism of power in a broad sense.

The article suggests a model of developing learning in a mixed class from fifth to seventh grade according to syllabus in order to develop communicative competence related to fifth graders an answer to a vital question: seventh graders an article on free topic. The model in practices that save an educational time (tasks with mutual solving of problems from two aging groups, tasks for related control about the fulfilment of the tasks, etc.) The article represents the need of realisation of the model of the lesson in Bulgarian as a communicative model as well as interaction-an appropriate pedagogic interaction. Structural logic of the suggested lesson-preparation of creating students’ texts (an answer to a vital question, an interpretation on free topic) is represented in the context in the reality in mixed class.

Fashion, both in its manufacturing dimension and as a field of visual culture, remains morally involved. The article is an attempt to incorporate phenomena related to fashion in an ethical perspective. The first part of the article focuses on mass production practices: such as shipping, greenwashing, fur farm industry, or the negative environmental impact associated with production. The second part of the article is devoted to the practices related to the culture-producing dimension of fashion, as well as the total aesthetization of everyday life (and the resulting anesthetization), the falsification and the simularization of reality or fashion projects based on the use of motives rooted in culture or religion.

An interpretation of „Better Shelter” by Ikea provides a point of departure for cultural analysis of the term „home”. By asking what design can do and how it affects different understandings of home territories, I prove that common meaning of „home” is a justification for the antagonistic division into us and them. As an alternative, I suggest that home territories should be seen as performative spaces (David Morley). I analyze „The Microbial Home” with reference to Judith Butler’s theory of bodies-as-living-set-of-relations in order to show that homes are analogous sets-of-relations. In this context, design would be a way of thinking that creates inclusive spaces and addresses social issues (i.e. global migrations, environmental degradation).

The overall aim of this two-year longitudinal study is to empowerchemistry students in secondary schools through the integration of ethnochemistryas a Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) approach. The CRT approach in thisstudy refers to the position promoted by Gay (2000) and the following five basicprinciples of CRT by Hernandez, Morales, and Shroyer (2013): content integration,facilitating knowledge construction, prejudice reduction, social justice, and academicdevelopment. The integration of ethnochemistry is applied to the basic principle ofcontent integration to engage students with their Indonesia indigenous knowledge.Indonesia has around 300 ethnic groups with differences in values, beliefs, andpractices which are explored in a limited way in the context of chemistry education.This research was conducted in four secondary schools using qualitative methodologywith multiple methods of observation, interviews, and reflective journals. The resultsshowed that the model of ethnochemistry integration in CRT approach was developedin this study and involved five main steps of self-identification, cultural understanding,collaboration, critical reflective thinking, and transformative construction can beimplemented in Indonesia chemistry classrooms. The students were empowered toexplore their cultural identity and develop their cultural awareness of appreciatingdifferences. The learning model provides opportunities for students to develop theirabilities in collaboration skills, empathy communication, and higher order thinkingskills alongside their engagement in chemistry learning. Students found that thelearning experiences have empowered them to engage in critical self-awarenessof their cultural identity, and character development within meaningful learningexperiences which are relevant to current Indonesia curriculum reform.

For the last few years many researchers have been alarming about the gruesome plummeting of language, mathematics and scientific literacy of the Bulgarian students. To address this problem, the collective effort of all the factors – teachers, pedagogic experts and representatives of the education sphere, are required. The main goal of this paper is to experimentally prove the efficacy of the non-formal educational practices which are used at University for Kids for improvement of the scientific literacy of students aged 12-15. The results from the pedagogical interactions with the students and the empirical data show that the teaching of chemistry, physics and biology, organized within the summer courses (academies) at University for Kids, stimulate the development of scientific literacy at this age group.

This article presents the results of a scientific research. An attempt has been made to find a correlation between the cultural origin, the social status of the family and the readiness of children to start school. In theoretical terms, ideas for the correlation between these factors and school readiness are presented. In order to realize the objective of the study, the following methods were used: a survey for parents, developed by the author of this study and “A test for the readiness of the children for school". The study included 150 respondents. 50 of them were children from two groups of the preparatory school and 100 - parents of the children who took part in the study. The results indicate that there is a correlation between the studied factors - cultural background, social status and readiness of children for school.
