Visual aids are the basis of teaching. They have an active leadership in thinking and perception; they are included in the teacher‘s exposition and are often based on them; allow concordance of hearing and visual perception; allow the teacher to accomplish a variety of didactic goals and tasks; allows them to be applied in the process of self-employment. They can also be used in a complex way to place learning problems, to instruct the students before their practical work with naturally supervised means of activating the learning process. The various visual aids should be combined wisely to give pupils more specific and, in turn, versatile ideas about physics and physical phenomena studied.

This report shows one of the contemporary methods of malignant neoplasms’ treatment – brachytherapy. Solid or liquid radioactive sources are used. Brachytherapy is a type of intercellular radiotherapy in which the source of radioactive energy is placed near the organ or directly in it. The ionizing energy destroys the structure of DNA and thus hinders cell division. During the treatment, specially targeted radiation is delivered to the tumor without any damages to the surrounding tissues and organs. The advantage of brachytherapy, compared to EBRT is that the damaged cells are fewer. In brachytherapy, radioactive materials are implanted in the form of seeds or liquids via feeder. The radioactive seeds consist of a titanium capsule containing a redioactive element 125I or 192Ir and a metal radiographic marker for tracking the capsule. Brachytherapy is used for treatment of cancer of the prostate, vagina, cervix, breast, skin, esophagus, face and neck, gallbladder, etc. In Bulgaria, brachytherapy is practiced in Sofia, Stara Zagora, Shumen and Veliko Tarnovo. In the oncology center in Shumen between 150 and 170 patients are treated with brachytherapy every year which is 1/6 of all patients, being treated in the center.

The article presents the current development of the Bulgarian language and reveils some negative phenomena in its use. There is a comprehensive program to curb these phenomena, which includes the activity of linguists, teachers, the public and media. The role of institutions such as the Institute for Bulgarian Language and the Ministry of Education and Science in the process of enhancing the linguistic culture and language competence of all Bulgarians is emphasized.

The confrontation of common sense and the complex deductive schemes of scientific knowledge often plays a retaining role, and creates in linguistics some methodological obstacles for understanding the essence of linguistic substance and its form. On the other hand, such confrontation stimulates all a priori created abstract models of the overall architectonics of the linguistic levels and provides conditions for the emergence of new ideas and methods in linguistics, thus paradoxically becoming a guarantor of the progressive movement towards constant refinement of the research methods

A methodology based on solid theoretical grounds has been applied in analyzing the rôle of terminology in the teaching. The article deals with: 1) meaning and content (matter) of the term; 2) conceptual and lexicosemantical relation in terminology. Special attention is paid to terminological synonyms.

The article includes aspects of the configurational syntactic analysis, which gives promising perspective for the school practice compared to the traditional approach. The idea for applying elements from the formal grammar while learning specific thematic units from the material for the 7th grade has been argued with new analytical practices. It turns out that students manage to understand the grammatical formalisms. Furthermore, the decoding of the formal notes and the work on the structurographical sentence outline, automatically discloses the function of the sentence elements without questions. The Structurography provides reliable techniques to make a fingerprint of the personal linguistic profile. If the teacher has this idea when helping students with the evolution of their language skills, the teacher would be able to measure in any moment the range and depth of the simple clause and complex sentence. This is actually a work for developing the individual language potential, which – for those who study syntax in 21st century, acquires visible priority compared to the absolutely hackneyed school practice.

The text poses the question about valid assessment of the results of Bulgarian language teaching in the light of changes in the contemporary educational context. We try to answer the familiar questions: what to assess, how to assess, why to assess on the base of data from the National external assessment, as well as from international literacy studies which Bulgaria participates in – PIRLS and PISA. We outline tendencies in assessment in Bulgarian language Teaching, which are determined by changes in scientific paradigms, institutional changes, and cooperation between stakeholders.

The gap between theory and practice has been recognized as a problem in the school education for a long time. Its gradual closure is possible exactly through the extracurricular activities. The picture of the not reading students in the “mass” Bulgarian schools is common and although it is a problematic topic, we have somehow accepted it as a norm and we have numbed our sensitivity towards the problem. And the argument is “We live in the age of technology.” What is more, we get annoyed every time when someone talks about the topic. The current paper aims to show how a student’s research on a few linguistic peculiarities of Tihonravov damascene was carried out, and what was the effect on the students in the high school through sharing of the results from the linguistic discoveries.

Teachers need to develop and improve their knowledge to be in favor of the newest methods and ways of teaching. They also need to share their practices both in personal and professional way. This opportunity was given by a new educational forum – a National Conference “Thematic and Value models in Education and Philosophy Teaching”. The event was held in South West University “Neofit Rilski”, Blagoevgrad on May, 10th – 11th, 2019. The organizers of the event were the Faculty of Philosophy from the South-West University and Regional Department of Education in Blagoevgrad. The conference aimed at enriching knowledge of teachers in both schools and universities, as well as giving opportunities for sharing good practices and finding innovative and common solutions of current issues in teaching and learning Philosophy. This was the second conference of the kind and it attracted more participants. There were different sessions in two days based on the humanity in Philosophy, new educational standards, civic education as a new school subject, innovative and modern methods of teaching and how to put films and video materials into practice in teaching. The second day of the conference aimed at new understanding about reason. There were valuable discussion about Religion as a school subject and an interesting article on Axiotopics. The final discussion pointed at the importance of such events finding common ways to deal with problems and presenting innovative methods and achievements which is a challenge for the new forum next year.
