Ahmed’s notion of comfort and discomfort between bodies and spaces helps to expand upon the purposes of movement and geography in Percival Everett’s Erasure. The constant rejection the protagonist Monk Ellison faces in public and private spaces, and manifests internally toward himself, requires that his body respond. When we track his geography, we see a man in constant motion who, because of his out-of-place-ness, is forced first to express himself through the creation of a pastiche that mocks prevailing notions of blackness. When this fiction is met with widespread commercial success and critical acclaim, Monk creates of himself and his character an avatar that exists between these two bodies. This avatar, Stagg R. Leigh, embodies the political dissent Ahmed describes as indicative of queer bodies that do not adhere to the behavioral governances of compulsory heterosexual spaces: by establishing himself as passably black according to hegemonic expectations, but then being revealed as a fiction, he upends and threatens social order by escaping its rubrics for functional black bodies. Through this Ahmedian-affective lens, one sees that black bodies in compulsorily racist environments, as queer bodies in compulsorily heteronormative environments, are forced to navigate expectations for their forms by glossing over, ignoring, suppressing, attempting to obscure, or having to acknowledge that which makes them different. A consequence of this interpellation is that society, for both black and queer bodies, rejects their forms and more readily accepts fictitious, derivative bodies in their stead, thus creating new forms to make invisible those stitches in the social skin that identify and alienate the individual from the space surrounding.

The Jazz Singer (1927), a film based on Samson Raphaelson’s short story, “The Day of Atonement,” published in 1922, and inspired by the life of one of the most successful twentieth century Jewish actors, Al Jolson, played an important role in the film industry, as it anticipated the end of the silent film era, and it also managed to offer a closer look at the atmosphere of the Jewish American life, illustrating the main issues that the Jewish American families had to deal with at the beginning of the twentieth century. Later on, three more films were made, and they adapted the original story to the realities of the periods when they were shot, the 1950s, and the 1980s, respectively. The aim of this paper is to highlight the way in which the film industry addressed intergenerational dynamics in Jewish American families during the 1920s and the 1980s, respectively, by comparing and analyzing the original Jazz Singer (1927) and its 1980 remake, with respect to the arising conflict between tradition and ambition, to identity issues, and to the relations established between family members, in conversation with critical sources by Vincent Brook, Joel Rosenberg, and Stephen Whitfield.

This essay reads Charles Chesnutt’s final published novel The Colonel’s Dream as an early work of Afrofuturism because of its speculation of the South as the site of a possible utopia for African Americans. The novel’s protagonist, Colonel Henry French, dreams of creating a capitalist utopia in his hometown of Clarendon, North Carolina, where both white Americans and African Americans who are eugenically fit can rise both socially and economically. However, in the end, the Colonel’s dream fails because he finds that the South has not progressed from the psychological hold that racism has on the mindset of white southerners.

With the adopted by the European Union in 2014 Directives on awarding of public procurement by the so called "classical” and "sectoral” contracting authorities, it was implemented a reform of the community legislation in this field, aiming modernization and simplification of the rules and overall optimization of the awarding process. For Bulgaria, as a Member-State, this caused a number of new engagements, including the necessity of adoption of an entirely new frame Public Procurement Law and of secondary legislation acts, connected with its implementation, as well as gradually introduction of e-procurement. At the same time, in accordance with the assigned objectives in the adopted by the Government strategic documents for the development of this sector in the next few years, on national level other substantial measures took place, including: changes in the existing institutional system, aimed at strengthening of the administrative capacity and optimizing of the work of the state authorities and institutions with powers in the field of methodology, re-viewing and control of public procurement; planning and conducting of trainings for different targeted groups (and mostly the contracting authorities); developing of guidances, methodological guidelines and indications in connection with identified problems during implementation of the legislation in the public procurement field, as well as preparation of the process for development and publishing of standardized requirements and documents, connected with most frequently awarded public procurements; strengthening of the centralized public procurement awarding in the country etc. Because of the fact that through the Public Procurement Law is regulated the movement of substantial part of the public finances, and also of funds, connected with the implementation of specific activities in the field of energy, water supply and transportation, the introduction of the new legislation has a determining importance for the whole economic environment in the country. Given the cumulative amount of the spent in this way funds, the public procurements influence the behavior of individual economic subjects, as well as the development of whole economic sectors, and the implementation of policies, connected with achieving different social, industrial and ecological aims in their awarding, could assist also the ensuring of sustainable development. This defines the exceptional public importance of the issues, concerning the changes in the legal regulation of the relations that arise and are implemented within the procurement process.

CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE (CVD) IS THE NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF DEATH WORLDWIDE.[1] AND ITSPREVALENCE IS PREDICTED TO RISE EXPENDENTIALLY IN THE COMING YEARS. THERE IS A COMPLEXINTERPLAY BETWEEN THE UNDERLYING HEALTH DETERMINANTS THAT COULD TRIGGER ANYPATHOPHYSIOLOGICAL ABNORMALITY LEADING TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF DISEASE[4]. THIS ARTICLEFOCUSES ON THE TWO WAY TICKET THAT IS OXIDATIVE STRESS (OS) AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS IN THEDEVELOPMENT OF CVD.IT IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY CLEAR THAT SOCIOECONOMIC FACTORS PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN THEDEVELOPMENT OF CVD. IN ADDITION, A MULTITUDE OF RESEARCH PAPERS HAVE SHOWN DISADVANTAGEOUSSOCIAL FACTORS CAN TRIGGER AN INCREASE IN ROS PRODUCTION. OUR KNOWLEDGE OF hROS HAS EVOLVEDIN THE PAST DECADES TO THE POINT THAT WE NOW HAVE WELL DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE SUPPORTING THEROLE OF hROS (E.G. PEROXYNITRITE, HYPOCHLORITE, HYDROXYL RADICAL) IN THE MECHANISM OFENDOTHELIAL DYSFUNCTION, VASCULAR COMPLICATIONS, MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION, CONGESTIVE HEARTFAILURE AND STROKE[4].ON THE OTHER HAND, SOCIAL DETERMINANTS ARE YET ANOTHER FACET OF THE SAME MATTER. RECENT DATAEMPHASISES THE CAPACITY OF SOCIAL DETERMINANTS AND SOCIAL CONFIGURATION TO DETERMINE THEDEVELOPMENT OF CVD[3]. MOREOVER, THE DYNAMIC NATURE OF HOW THE SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT ACTSUPON DISEASE NECESSITATES AN INDEPTH INVESTIGATION.AS A CONSEQEUNCE, IN ORDER TO PROPERLY ADDRESS THE INCREASE IN CVD, BOTH PATHOPHYSIOLOGICALAND SOCIAL ASPECTS SHOULD BE TAKEN EQUALLY INTO CONSIDERATION.

Since 1990 our country sharply increase the proportion of families who are not formally married. As a result of this rapid increase and the proportion of children who registered the statistics as "non-marital".The purpose of this article is to analyze regional differences in areas in the level of non-marital births and dynamics of these differences in our country during the period 1995-2015.To achieve the above objective solve several tasks: Comparative analysis of the dynamics of changes in the size of the share of non-marital births between Bulgaria and some European countries. Study the dynamics of non-marital births in Bulgaria - total and for regions. Exploring the differences between regions in the level of non-marital births in a given year. The basis of the methodology is the statistical approach. Used as elementary statistical measurements for studying the development of time series - absolute growth, growth rate, integral coefficient of structural differences and stronger methods such as regression and correlation analysis. The results of the survey show very rapid adoption of the model of cohabitation in Bulgaria. Bulgaria quickly, just 20 years from 1990 to 2010, overtook countries like Sweden and France in the next five years even overtake them in terms of the proportion of children born out of wedlock. The majority of the population of our country adopts new standards and model of coexistence. In all areas the proportion of children born out of wedlock is increasing. There is reason to accept as true the hypothesis that the concentration of the Muslim population in some regions It affects the dynamics and the level of non-marital births. An important result of the study is that in recent years have seen a slowdown in growth. Most likely reach the threshold of non-marital births, about who will keep her level. It is not excluded in the future process of increasing the share of non-marital births gradually "die down" due to depletion of its potential. Possibly even a return to lower shares, which was established in four regions.
