MASS DEACIDIFICATION OF LIBRARY COLLECTIONS IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC
Petra Vávrová and Jitka Neoralová and Dana Novotná
Abstract
Authors provide detailed information about the process of preparing books for mass
deacidification of library collections in the National Library of the Czech Republic, as well as in other
institutions of the Czech Republic. We present the basic principles of deacidification and the requirements
for the ideal method of mass deacidification of books. This includes the selection of mass deacidification
technology, the preparation of books for deacidification, the methods of testing the quality of
deacidification, checking after deacidification, etc. The article is supplemented by a clear diagram of the
workflow used for the implementation of massdeacidification of library collections and a list of literature
on the topic.

BULGARIAN MANUSCRIPTS 10TH – 13TH CENTURIES, PRESERVED IN FOREIGN LIBRARIES: INVENTORY WITH COMPUTER TOOLS
Anissava Miltenova and Ekaterina Todorova
Keywords: annotated inventory, XML, TEI, Glagolitic and Cyrillic manuscripts
Abstract
From 2021–2022, a project on Bulgarian cultural heritage was carried out: the creation of an
annotated inventory in digital form of manuscript books of Bulgarian origin from the 10th to the 14th
centuries, preserved in foreign book repositories. The project is coordinated with the UNESCO
conventions for the protection of cultural heritage and the creation of a national register of every country,
with the perspective of expanding, facilitating and supporting access to the documentary heritage by
creating inventories with computer tools. This will contribute to drawing attention to the history of
literature, and inform the public about the importance of documentary heritage, its history, restoration and
preservation. The project in XML follows TEI guidelines.

FORGOTTEN ARCHITECTURE OF THE BANAT’S VILLAGES
Zoran Cvetković
Keywords: Banat military frontier, colonisation, village urbanisation, village architecture heritage
Abstract
Urban planning and village development in Banat are closely related to the geopolitical
relationships between Austria, Hungary and Turkey. Persistent conflicts and Turkey's pretensions to
possess the Banat have prompted Austria and Hungary to make strategic plans to preserve it. Among
others, they proceeded to colonize the loyal population and established a military, defensive line: the
Banat military frontier. An integral part of the plan was the strategic establishment of villages and
reconstruction of existing ones. In addition to meeting the basic needs of life, regulations and plans called
for residents to have access to education, religion, social and cultural life, etc. This article presents the
results of the project: "Forgotten architecture of Banat streets".

HIDDEN MOTIVES OF THE MEDIA PRESENTATION ON THE THEORY OF RAPID CLIMATE CHANGE
Nedeljko Todorović
Keywords: rapid climate change, media, manipulation of people
Abstract
Through newspapers and digital media, the public is convinced for decades that dramatic changes
are taking place in nature, primarily in the atmosphere, which are the result of anthropogenic influence. One
threat to humanity accentuates in some decades and then move on to the next threat. The arguments of
alarmists and skeptics about the Little Ice Age, ozone holes, acid rain, the melting of the polar caps, the rise of
ocean levels and the irreversible increase in global air temperature differ fundamentally. Most of the media
dominantly reports the statements of alarmists that the use of fossil fuels causes a global increase in
temperature and that episodes of extreme meteorological phenomena are evidence of climate change. The
majority of citizens accept the "guilt" imposed by the media, the influence of ecological movements is
growing. Can media presentations of such natural phenomena be classified as scientific? The analysis of
meteorological data refutes the theory about rapid climate change and, without a deeper political analysis,
indicates hidden motives and manipulation of people in the background.

SRPOL – A LEXICON BASED FRAMEWORK FOR SENTIMENT STRENGTH OF SERBIAN TEXTS
Milena Šošić
Keywords: Polarity, Strength, Lexicon, Serbian, SRPOL
Abstract
Determining the polarity of words is an important task in sentiment analysis and its applications.
The most comprehensive dictionaries could be found in English, however, many other low-resource
languages lack established polarity dictionaries,the existing ones are small in size or contain only polarity
identifier. In this study, we propose a new lexicon-based approach for text polarity detection using sentiment
triggers that add contextual semantics during the analysis. To this end, the existing word polarity dictionary in
Serbian has been extended as to contain approximately 15000 words annotated with polarity strength. Serbian
sentiment framework (SRPOL), relying on the new lexicon and proposed sentiment triggers, has shown an
overall accuracy score of 79% on validation datasets from different domains annotated for sentiment, which is
in the range with the state-of-the-art approaches on this task.

Abstract
The paper presents the 2022 ranking of researchers at the University of Belgrade. In the 2022
Shanghai World University Rankings ARWU, the University of Belgrade is ranked in the 401-500
cluster. The ranking is presented primarily according to the h-index of researchers. Researchers with the
same h-index are ranked by the number of citations. We present the top 20 researchers in the ranking list
from University of Belgrade with the minimum h-index 40. h-index can be determined from the following
online databases: Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar and the Publish or Perish program. The
ranking is edited using the Google Scholar database.
