In the second half of the twentieth century, music for children was enriched by the works of Jadwiga Szajna-Lewandowska (1912–1994). The Wrocław’s pianist, composer and pedagogue wrote most of her pieces for the youngest and thus the most sensitive recipient. The vast majority of her works is stage music for children, mainly ballet. In this category, Szajna-Lewandowska has no equal. She is the one of the rare composers who devoted most of their works to children. Her music for the youngest comprises not only stage works, but also compositions written for children as performers or listeners. Among them, there are instrumental, vocal-instrumental and choral pieces. Therefore, it can be claimed that Jadwiga Szajna-Lewandowska is a composer who made a significant contribution to Polish children’s and young adult literature.

Background: Health promotion (НР) is a central proactive concept in the development of social medical as a science and practice. The settings and community approaches are most effectively implemented at the educational settings, starting at school and continuing at the university. Herewith, the educational setting is the Medical University “Prof. Dr. Paraskev Stoyanov” - Varna (MU-Varna). The community of the study are the students at MU-Varna. The aim was to investigate the impact of Bulgarian folk dance (BgFD) on the health of the students and the place of BgFD in the academic curriculum. Six objectives supported the aim application. Material and methods: The study design employs a mix-method approach that includes quantitative and qualitative methods applied in two successive phases. Quantitative methods: two direct questionnaires - at the beginning and end of the semester (September - December, 2018) and one standardized for stress levels, anthropometry and statistical methods. Qualitative method: Delphi survey (March - June, 2019) to reach consensus on the place of BgFD in the academic curriculum. The sample consisted of 184 students, divided into two main comparable groups: BgFD – studying (92 people) and Sports-studying (92 people) in their compulsory sports activities at the university. Results: For 56.4% BgFD - classes are the only sporting activity during the week. BgFD help improve physical and emotional health in 78.8% of those who study them. An assessment of the change in subjective health in the two groups found that there is improvement is subjective health levels, but there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. Discussion and conclusion: BgFD bring healthy energy, BgFD relax and entertain. Giving the students the opportunity to study BgFD is, in its essence, an anticipatory HP intervention, which is a strategy for increasing life expectancy, for a disease prevention and for a more successful professional career. The study participants are medical students and from other medical/health majors. They are expected to be active HP agents in the future. The hypothesis that BgFD are equivalent as a physical activity to sports has been confirmed. BgFD are a healing and uniting social phenomenon that deserves its "reserved" place in the academic curriculum.

Higher education in the Arts and Humanities nowadays faces global challenges. By its very nature, Classics is among the disciplines which experience the harshest consequences of the large economic and cultural shifts we are witnessing. In the last decades, the students graduating from the BA curriculum of the Department of Classics to the University of Sofia have decreased in number, their profiles, motivation and interests have gone through various changes, their devotion to reclusive, slow and thorough acquisition of knowledge – so characteristic of the typical figure of the classicist a century ago – has significantly diminished. On the other hand, new technologies not only became ubiquitous in the lives of students and teachers alike but also gave rise to the multidisciplinary field of Digital Humanities, and Digital Classics in particular. Several such initiatives have been developing at the Department of Classics to the University of Sofia and, as of late, have also been introduced to the BA curriculum in Classics. The paper will discuss how getting involved in activities such as encoding ancient Greek inscriptions or working on parallel text alignment can serve as a quick and efficient introduction to more complex research problems and approaches in advanced fields like epigraphy. The general request of policy-makers and public alike for practically oriented higher education yielding quick and relevant results often leads to shallower educational results of lesser quality. Solving research issues through working on ancient sources with digital tools can be a way of acquiring deeper knowledge of the subject matter of Classics more quickly. Examples from different courses and project activities will be examined in order to observe how digitally-aided research works in practice.

Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) is a term invented to represent living practices, representations, expressions, skills and knowledge that communities, groups and individuals recognize as distinct but important aspects of identity. The safeguarding of ICH has become a topic of international concern primarily through the work of UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) (UNESCO, 2018). Digital technologies and the internet bring unprecedented opportunities to present and preserve cultural assets globally and from a long-term perspective. The use of new technologies in the preservation and transmission of intangible heritage imposes urgent and significant changes in the museum specialists' competency matrix. The paper presents the main results from research con-ducted within the scope of the international project DigiCult in four European countries, aiming to identify the main gaps and constraints regarding the active inclusion of museum professionals in the ICH digital presentation and safeguarding processes.

Numri 1-2 i vitit 2017 i revistës sonë “Arkivi Shqiptar” paraqiti aktet e Konferencës së Parë Mbarëkombëtare të Arkivistikës, e cila u krye në bashkëpunim mes Drejtorisë së Përgjithshme të Arkivave të Shqipërisë dhe Agjencisë Shtetërore të Arkivave të Kosovës. Konferenca dhe revista ishin një hap që afroi edhe më pranë institucionet tona arkivore kombëtare, proces i cili ka filluar prej pothuaj 2 dekadash. Ky numër i revistës sonë nuk është më “Arkivi Shqiptar”, në numrin njëjës, por “Arkivat Shqiptare”, një titull në numrin shumës, dhe ka qëllim të paraqesë edhe më qartë bashkëpunimin de facto mes dy institucioneve më të larta të fushës së arkivistikës, në dy shtetet shqiptare të Ballkanit. Po ashtu, ky numër i “Arkivave Shqiptare” sjell edhe një ndryshim tjetër: është rezultat i bashkimit të dy organeve tona periodike të fushës së arkivistikës, “Vjetarit” të Prishtinës dhe “Arkivi Shqiptar” i Tiranës. Për këtë arsye, tashmë viti i botimit nuk është më XIX (numri i parë i revistës në Tiranë doli më 1999), por 54, numri që do të kishte këtë vit “Vjetari”. Numri i parë i organit zyrtar të Arkivave të Kosovës u botua më 1965 nën titullin (shqip dhe serbisht) “Buletini / Godišnjak”. Që prej numrit II-III, i cili u botua në vitin 1970, mori emrin “Vjetar / Godišnjak”. Për shkak të rrethanave politike të Kosovës si dhe masave të dhunshme ndaj Arkivit të Kosovës, mes viteve 1988 – 2000 revista “Vjetari” e ndali botimin. Rifilloi të botohej më 2001 me titullin “Vjetar”, tashmë vetëm në gjuhën shqipe. Deri në vitin 2017 shënoi numrin 54 që prej botimit të parë. Në këtë numër të “Arkivave Shqiptare” botohen aktet e Konferencës së Dytë Mbarëkombëtare “Arkivat dhe Puna Arkivore në Trevat e Shqiptarëve në Shek. XX-XXI” që u zhvillua në Prishtinë më 9 qershor 2018. Sikundër edhe në numrin e vitit të shkuar, në këtë numër paraqesim veprimtaritë e DPA dhe ASHAK për periudhën janar – tetor 2018. Po ashtu, po ribotojmë edhe dy Vendime të Këshillit të Ministrave të Shqipërisë, “Për licencimin e arkivave privatë” dhe rregulloren “Për organizimin dhe funksionimin e Drejtorisë së Përgjithshme të Arkivave”. Për shkak të kërkesës së madhe në Shqipëri, në këtë numër të revistës po ribotojmë edhe “Manualin e trajnimit për punonjësit e zyrës së arkivit dhe protokollit të njësive të qeverisjes vendore”, i hartuar dhe përdorur në kuadër të projektit të “Konsolidimit të reformës administrative dhe territoriale – STAR2”.

Pas dy konferencave të përbashkëta organizuar nga Drejtoria e Përgjithshme e Arkivave dhe Agjencia Shtetërore e Arkivave të Kosovës, të cilat u kurorëzuan me botimin e organit të përbashkët të arkivistikës “Arkivat Shqiptare” më 2017 dhe 2018, stafeta e bashkëpunimit mes arkivistëve shqiptarë mbërrin edhe tek ne, në Shkup, mes shqiptarëve që jetojnë në Republikën e Maqedonisë së Veriut. Për këtë arsye jam jashtëzakonisht i lumtur që po arrijmë të kurorëzojmë një bashkëpunim mjaft të frytshëm disavjeçar të Instituti i Trashëgimisë Shpirtërore e Kulturore të Shqiptarëve – Shkup, me Drejtorinë e Përgjithshme e Arkivave të Shqipërisë dhe Agjencinë Shtetërore të Arkivave të Kosovës. Kësaj radhe arkivat, si një ndër burimet kryesore të zhvillimit shkencor, na bashkuan në Konferencën e Tretë Ndërkombëtare të Akivistikës, me temën bosht “Arkivat dhe të drejtat e njeriut”. ITSHKSH – Shkup, përmes departamenteve të veta hulumtuese-shkencore, kryesisht të shkencave albanologjike, para së gjithash ka për qëllim zbardhjen e të vërtetave historike të shqiptarëve të këtushëm, përmes dokumenteve relevante arkivore. Si rezultat i bashkëpunimit të deritashëm të shkëlqyer me arkivat shtetërore të Tiranës e Prishtinës, studiuesit tanë, veçanërisht të shkencës së historisë, janë shërbyer me një material mjaft të pasur arkivor, i cili pakrahasimisht na ka shërbyer për zbardhjen e shumë të vërtetave historike të panjohura deri më tani nga opinioni shkencor. Me këto dokumente arkivore, edhe Arkivi Shkencor i Institutit tonë është pasuruar mjaft, dhe mëton edhe më tej të vazhdojë të pasurohet. Në veçanti u jemi mirënjohës arkivave shqiptare të Tiranës, të cilat janë mjaft të hapura për ndihmesë, dhe jashtëzakonisht të pasura me materiale arkivore historike edhe për shqiptarët përtej kufijve administrativ të Shqipërisë. Çështja tjetër që dua të potencoj në këtë rast, është edhe inkurajimi që dua t’u bëj të gjitha institucioneve të këtushme relevante, por edhe individëve që kanë materiale të rëndësishme arkivore, që ta deponojnë në Arkivin Shkencor të Institutit të Trashëgimisë Shpirtërore e Kulturore të Shqiptarëve – Shkup. Aty është vendi më i sigurt, jo vetëm se për ruajtjen, por edhe për shfrytëzimin pozitiv nga gjeneratat e ardhshme në favor të shkencës dhe shoqërisë. Duke ju përshëndetur dhe njëherë si njëri nga nikoqirët e kësaj konference shkencore ndërkombëtare të arkivistikës, më lejoni që të gjithë studiuesve t’u uroj paraqitje sa më të suksesshme. Shpresoj se kontributet e tyre shkencore do të jenë një hap më tepër në zhvillimin e arkivistikës, por edhe një hap më shumë në kultivimin e bashkëpunimit ndërinstitucional në këtë sferë të Shkupit, Tiranës e Prishtinës. Fare në fund e falënderoj edhe Komunën Çair të Shkupit të Vjetër, dhe kryetarin Visar Ganiu, për mikpritjen e ngrohtë në këtë sallë komunale, ku zhvilloi punimet Konferenca III Mbarëkombëtare e Arkivistikës.

It is an already known fact that during the period before the introduction of the press, either mobile or other, the archives are older than libraries. The archives of clay tablets, metal plates, paper, papyrus, and other durable materials document the national, tribal, religious, chronological, administrative, legal developments, and others as well. Such archives are almost always of an official character, although old commercial archives are also known. The links between archives and libraries in classical times were close, literary and philosophical texts were often placed on shelves and kept together and used by the same mass of readers. Good links and cooperation between archives and libraries at all levels will bring about the establishment of such national councils more quickly and effectively. If libraries and archives do not cooperate and coordinate their special roles in the future for the preservation and security of information, the authorities and users of all kinds will not easily forgive the archivists and librarians responsible for the administration of these extremely important cultural institutions. The challenge of both institutions today is the digitalization of the materials they preserve as well as the creation of a joint on-line portal which will provide fast access, anywhere and anytime. The process of digitalization and on-line publication will bring every user closer to materials that were once not easily accessible, will preserve materials from their physical use, and will enable the long-term preservation of the rare values of our country, our written heritage.

The relations between Albanians and the Arbëresh of Italy have always been in the focus of the communist government existing before ’90-s. The interest of the Albanian part for the abovementioned population was concentrated not only in the diplomatic field, but also in the cultural and educational one. Despite the fluctuations in the relations between the two countries, Albania and Italy, the Arbëresh issue would not affect but on the contrary, would serve as a bridge in the strengthening of the relations between the two countries.

The National Theater, with an archive of plays put in this theater since 1945, has a large number of files of theatrical performances, which list the title of the play, author, director and year. In this archive, the file "The General of the Dead Army" contains important materials for one of the most dignified performances in the history of the Albanian Theater, staged in 1972 by the National Theater Troupe by director Pirro Mani. This play is a dramatization by the director himself, based on the novel with the same title by the great writer Ismail Kadare. The “General ”by Pirro Mani, another variant of this play is put, this time with the title“ Pilgrimage in anxiety ”, by the director Serafin Fanko. In the archive of the theater of this city, which begins its work in 1950, there is a large number of files, which, although fewer in number, are richer than those of the National Theater. Inside the file of the play "Pilgrimage in anxiety" of this archive, typed by the director himself, there is the text dramatized by the most representative director of this theater, Serafin Fanko, along with the directing platform. Both archives have, in addition to costume sketches, posters of each show, a considerable number of photographs taken during the shows. The photographic archive is of great importance for recording the history of Albanian directing in a period when performances were not recorded. Through them a mosaic of the visual way of constructing the show, mise-en-scène, makeup, costumes and scenography can be constructed. This visual documentation creates the opportunity also to get to know the great actors, and in the paragraph on actors, the photographs serve as a guide for the construction and conception of the characters visually. The photographs found in these files of the National Theater Archive and the “Migjeni” Theater Archive turn into a cognitive tool for future generations. Finding these materials of great importance for the theater in these archives was a discovery, without which we would not have been able to create a Confrontation between the generals of the Mani-Fanko theater, a study that has not been done to date.
