DOCUMENTS FROM THE ARCHIVES OF THE ECUMENICAL PATRIARCHATE – A SOURCE FOR THE DEMOGRAPHIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE BULGARIAN LANDS DURING THE BULGARIAN NATIONAL REVIVAL (2022-2025)

In December 2022, the Institute for Population and Human Research at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences started the implementation of a project № КП-06-Н70/11 „Documents from the Archives of the Ecumenical Patriarchate – a source for the demographic development of the Bulgarian lands during the Bulgarian National Revival“ funded by the Bulgarian National Science Fund (Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Bulgaria) through Competition for financial support of basic research projects – 2021.

The fact that the materials from the Archives of the Ecumenical Patriarchate – Istanbul are unknown to native researchers predetermines the lack of independent research related to the analysis of outgoing official correspondence available in this Archive as a source for the demographic development of the population inhabiting our lands during the Renaissance. This justifies the acquisition, cataloguing, listing, translation, analysis and systematized presentation of the official correspondence related to the demographic history of the Bulgarian lands during the Renaissance, which is stored in the Archives of the Ecumenical Patriarchate – Istanbul, as the main goal of the current project.

Its implementation is carried out through the implementation of the following basic scientific tasks:
1. Getting to know the available literature on the problem and building the theoretical-methodological arsenal specific to this type of research;
2. Search, acquisition, recording, digitization and cataloguing of the historical-demographic sources available in the Archive, relating to the geographical space and chronological range of interest;
3. Transcribing (turning the text from handwritten to printed) of the acquired source material;
4. Translation (from Greek to Bulgarian) of the scheduled material;
5. Summary and analysis of the obtained results to determine the place and significance of this type of sources for the unified national archive of basic data on the historical demography of the Bulgarian lands during the Renaissance.
With their implementation:
1. An opportunity will be created to provide researchers with unique, unknown to native researchers, documentary material;
2. The next step will be taken in the creation of a single database on the historical demography of Bulgaria, which will be successfully integrated into the pan-European array;
3. Unknown sources about the cultural diversity and national identity of the population inhabiting the Bulgarian lands will be presented to the world scientific community;
4. A basis for improving the study of demographic history will be established, especially in the context of the ever-expanding distance learning offered by a number of institutions.
5. Part of the digitized source material will be published, through which the results of the project will become available to the general public.
At the same time, the key problems in implementing the idea of creating a single electronic archive on the historical demography of Bulgaria will be identified and the possibilities for their solution will be outlined.

 ADOLESCENT HEALTH AND WELL-BEING IN THE CONTEXT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC: EFFECTS ON MENTAL HEALTH, HEALTH BEHAVIOUR, SOCIAL INTERACTIONS, AND ACADEMIC MOTIVATION AND ACHIEVEMENT, MODERATED BY PERSONALITY CHARACTERISTICS (2021-2024)

From November 2021, the Institute for Population and Human Studies – Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (IPHS-BAS) started the implementation of project № КП-06-Н55/7 „Adolescent health and well-being in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic: effects on mental health, health behaviour, social interactions, and academic motivation and achievement, moderated by personality characteristics“, funded by the Bulgarian National Science Fund (Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Bulgaria) through Competition for financial support of basic research projects – 2021.

The aim of the project is to examine the impact of changes in the daily lives of Bulgarian adolescents due to the COVID-19 pandemic (infection of the adolescent or of family members, anti-epidemic measures to protect public health, life online, financial insecurity) on their health and well-being, and in particular on their mental health, health behaviour, social interactions and academic motivation and achievement, taking into account the moderating effects of socio-demographic and personality characteristics. We expect that the effects on young people’s health and well-being due to changes in their daily lives related to the COVID-19 pandemic will be moderated by socio-demographic and personality characteristics in such a way that for some adolescents the effects will be rather negative, and for other adolescents – rather positive.

To achieve the set goal, a large nationally representative quantitative survey will be conducted with 4,500 young people in early and middle adolescence (11-15 years). The study will include an embedded qualitative component in the form of open-ended questions that explore the subjective perspectives, experiences, and ways of coping of adolescents in a situation of crisis and challenges. Evidence-based guidelines for the prevention and intervention of normative problems of adolescent health and development and problems related to functioning during the COVID-19 pandemic will be developed.

Principal Investigator of the project is Assoc. Prof. Dr. Anna Alexandrova-Karamanova (IPHS-BAS, Department of Psychology). The project team includes researchers from the Department of Psychology and the Department of Demography of IPHS-BAS, as well as researchers from Burgas Free University: Prof. Dr. Tatyana Kotzeva (IPHS-BAS, Department of Demography, and BFU), Assoc.

In addition, it turned out that he often encountered not only isolated cases of aggression, but also whole classes, in which there are frequent conflicts between students, pupils and teachers, bullying and violation of school order.
