The digitization of Cultural Heritage assumes an interdisciplinary approach, collaborative knowledge co-creation, and distant communication. This can only be fulfilled by ICT means requiring in turn alignment between those who deliver the technical (IT) support and those who are in the role users. A Service-Oriented approach is considered adequate in this regard because of users’ composing services at high level (with underlying technical complexity remaining hidden) and developers’ considering the software components whose functionality is delivered through the services. All this requires however complex regulations to conform with. Semiotic norms in combination with workflows are considered in this regard. In this paper, we propose an approach based on Service-Oriented Computing and Organizational Semiotics, directed to Cultural Heritage digitization. The approach is partially illustrated by means of an example.

The text is an attempt at familiarising the reader with Diana Taylor’s theory and at demonstrating the ways in which the said theory may be used to analyse the phenomena which refer to non-material heritage. The author analyses the categories, mentioned by Taylor, of the archive and repertoire in the context of research in the national cuisine. She also indicates the practices of the UNESCO which serve the protection of non-material heritage and analyses them in the context of the subject that was selected. The Polish context of research is relevant to the article, therefore the author makes reference to the phenomena and activities which promote Polish national cuisine. The text is an attempt at demonstrating the possibilities of using performative research in the study of cultural heritage.

It is hard to imagine how a modern society can function without in technology. Greater access to television and the internet open up many opportunities for us. We live in a society of information, which is characterised by the availability of knowledge and devices designed to make our daily lives easier. It is important to use wisely the opportunities that technology offers us. This is important in relation to education, Polish national heritage and broader culture. Often we can visit a specific place or participate in cultural life without even leaving our own home. This article is an analysis of the impact of modern technology how it helps us to protect and promote our national heritage. A description of the problem should begin with a presentation of the theory of modernization, which describes the stages of development of society, in order to show that despite the massive developments of technology, not everyone has the same opportunity to take advantage of its benefits. The internet undoubtedly brings a lot of good, but we have to be prudent in using the resources it offers.

Reading has been deeply rooted in Polish tradition and culture. Among the most-popular reading practices of the second half of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century were community readings and oral readings. The oral readings were common for all social class families, and they were a popular method of contact with literature. The community readings integrated participants and enabled individuals to share their impressions with others. Unlike the community readings, silent readings were private and intimate. In the art from this period, we find pictorial representations of different literary activities. Late 19th century and early 20th century paintings portray young readers, engaged both in community and individual readings. Iconography proves an important place of books in the lives of teenage boys and girls, and is a source which complements the documentation of readership in the written sources.

The main purpose of this study is to analyze changes in the scope of liability forpetty off enses against historical monuments that entered into force on January 1, 2024.In this respect the amendment act of June 22, 2017 was key, introducing a catalog ofadministrative torts as of January 1, 2018 and decriminalizing their equivalent pettyoff enses as of January 1, 2024. The above legislative measure is an example of the no-ticeable trend in recent years of transforming petty off enses into administrative torts.Decriminalization of petty off enses as a result of their conversion into administrativetorts is not the only direction of changes in the scope of liability for petty off enses aga-inst historical monuments. In some cases, the legislator decided to tighten liability andtransform petty off enses into off enses.

Among the world’s largest industries, tourism has evolved from a cultural exchange mechanism to a tool with significant political implications for peacebuilding. The International Institute for Peace through Tourism (IIPT) was established during the UN's International Year of Peace in 1986, and tourism was positioned as a “Global Peace Industry” with transformative potential. The IIPT’s 1988 Vancouver Conference marked a political milestone, promoting “Sustainable Tourism” and solidifying tourism’s role in international policy to foster understanding, cooperation, and reconciliation. Key documents, such as the Manila Declaration (1985) and the Amman Declaration (2000), framed tourism as a strategic instrument for soft power, diplomatic relations, and conflict resolution. This article underscores tourism’s role in advancing global peace agendas by analyzing how tourism shapes geopolitical perceptions, addresses social justice, and supports UN Sustainable Development Goals. The article concludes by advocating for increased research into tourism’s political influence on peacebuilding while acknowledging the industry’s capacity to bridge divides, promote inclusivity, and support sustainable global relations.

The paper examines the Bulgarian academic book publishing from 1869 to the present day. It focuses on the Periodical Magazine of the Bulgarian Literary Society, first printed in 1870 in Braila and published today as the Journal of BAS. Publishing is inextricably linked with the history of the Bulgarian Literary Society and later with the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, engaging a key percentage of the financial means and the most essential efforts of the society's leaders. BAS has a publishing house that publishes scientific studies, monographs, textbooks, scientific journals, and other scientific works. These are of great importance for the dissemination of scientific knowledge and for the promotion of academic activity in Bulgaria and abroad. The Bulgarian Academy of Sciences cooperates with other national and international publishing houses for the publication of scientific research. The printing of scientific publications by the BAS ensures a high standard of quality and contributes to the prestige of Bulgarian science on a global scale.

The rules of the National Library in Gračanica are a foundational document upon which the work of this cultural and educational society was based. The rules were approved by the Ministry of Education of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes on November 9, 1928, following the prescribed procedures and legal processes. The original document is currently preserved in the Archive of Yugoslavia in Belgrade (fond no. 66, file 2.280, description unit: 2.151). We present the document in its original form.

The aim of the article is to assess the effectiveness of the use of Gabor filters in the identification and classification of images depicting handwriting, in particular in the context of recognition of letters, numbers or whole words. The article presents an optoelectronic method of identifying the characteristics of handwriting images based on the Gabor wavelet transform. This method has not been published anywhere before, but it opens up new perspectives for the study of handwriting. The research problem was formulated: Does the use of Gabor filters allow for effective feature extraction from handwriting images, enabling accurate identification and classification of characters compared to other feature extraction methods? Accordingly to the research problem posed, a research hypothesis was formulated, which assumes that Gabor filters, thanks to their ability to detect local patterns in images (such as edges, textures and directional structures), are an effective method of extracting features in tasks related to the identification of handwriting images, surpassing other commonly used methods in terms of classification accuracy. In the article, the authors proposed a simple algorithm for recognizing images in the diffraction space for forensic purposes. The question remains, can this method be used in practice? In order to obtain an answer to the research problem and verify the research hypothesis, research methods such as analysis of both domestic and foreign literature, comparative analysis, as well as mathematical modeling were used.
