💪 Good health 🩺 is a right of every human being 👥, an asset and a source of economic and social stability.
📌 Despite the established principles of accessibility and equality in the use of medical assistance 🏥 and the existence of a valid health card 🪪, our research has shown that the population has different access 🔀 to facilities and centers for medical assistance at the regional and local level.

🔍 This important study on the continent 🇦🇶 🇧🇬 explored the relationship between the air temperature at the surface and the 🌡 distribution in the crevasses, including the temperature gradient at different levels and the direction of the airflow. The measured depth reached 18 m in the central part of the glacier and 9 m in the periphery. Meteorological parameters such as temperature, , atmospheric , and solar were measured on-site using autonomous sensors and recording devices mounted on installations on the glacier surface and at depth using alpine 🏔techniques.

🎯 The relationship between solar activity and climatic processes in glacier drainage systems adds new insights to solar-terrestrial .

🔍 Since the topic remains quite unpopular for tourism researchers in Bulgaria, this paper aims to present the key explaining , outline the main features of such heritage as well as sketch contemporary research trends and gaps in this underestimated but promising academic field. The term “problematic” cultural heritage is proposed as appropriate for the Bulgarian context 🇧🇬, emphasizing the notion of / heritage as a “problem to be solved”. Its relevance to Ottoman and communist heritage in the country is justified.
