The emission/absorption FE 2 spectrum of HD 45677

The complex behavior of the emission/absorption spectrum of Fe II is analyzed. The far UV spectrum is characterized almost solely by absorption lines, while, in the near UV, strong emissions are predominant. Radiative excitation from the ground to the highest levels (chi is approximately 10 eV) with re-emission in the near UV, visible and I.R. seems to be the main mechanism capable of explaining the observed spectral features

Bosnia and Herzegovina, the influence of the Gulf states on economics and politics.

The growing presence of wealthy investors and tourists from Gulf States in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) since the 2010s has become quite a topic of discussion in the Balkan country, catalyzing the attention of many articles in local and international media over the last couple of years. The arrival of visitors from the Gulf States is encouraged by favorable conditions such as the lift of most visa requirements, the establishment of several direct flights with Sarajevo’s airport, as well as long-term investment perspectives

Reflections of a vanished time. The melancholy of objects in Georgi Gospodinov's and Orhan Pamuk's works

In this paper, I focus on the role played by material objects in the evocation of a specific imaginary of the recent past (mainly the 1970s and 1980s) in the literary works of Bulgarian writer Georgi Gospodinov (in the novels "The Physics of Sorrow" and "Natural Novel") and of Turkish novelist Orhan Pamuk (in "The Museum of Innocence"). I analyze the presence of feelings of melancholy and loss accompanied by a fixation on objects in the fictional works and describe their possible overcoming through an externalization in the form of museum exhibitions in the city of Sofia and Istanbul such as the "Inventory depository of Socialism" and the "Museum of Innocence". By viewing objects as actors capable of creating meaningful social networks, I consider their use in the narration of personal and collective histories and their transformation as powerful symbols of a bygone era

The Role of the Newspaper Parekordzagani Tzain and its Related Institutions in the Preservation of Language and Identity in the Armenian Community of Plovdiv

This paper describes the linguistic and identitary challenges faced by the members of the Armenian diaspora of Plovdiv, Bulgaria, in relation to what can be viewed as an irreducible multicultural context. Through the consideration of the community’s main cultural institutions embodied by the AGBU organization, the related press organ Parekordzagani Tzain and publishing house Armen Tur, I highlight the Armenian diaspora’s ability of combining different resources from a transnational perspective, while keeping alive a fixed sense of collective identity. In such process, I show how language reveals itself as the main chore of the community’s value systems, embracing different domains of the diaspora social and cultural life
