This paper presents the list of earthworms found in five affected by the uranium mining activities areas in Bulgaria. For the whole period of study (2011-2016) ten species belonging to six genera of family Lumbricidae were recorded. The genera Aporrectodea and Lumbricus were represented by 3 species each, and the other four by one species only. Half of all registered earthworms were endogeic. Three species (Aporrectodea rosea, Eisenia fetida and Octolasion lacteum) were found in all sampling sites.

CONDUCTING MEDIATION IN AN ELECTRONIC ENVIRONMENT – SPECIFICS AND CHALLENGES

(Plovdiv University Press, 2025-12-15) Toshkov, Tomislav

Mediation in an electronic environment is an increasingly relevant method of dispute resolution, especially in the context of the growing digitalization and globalization of business relations. This form of mediation has its own specifics and challenges that distinguish it from traditional methods. Key specifics include flexibility and accessibility, allowing participants to interact regardless of geographical limitations. Technologies such as video conferencing and online communication plat-forms facilitate the process while providing opportunities for quick and efficient dispute resolution. Despite these advantages, electronic mediation also presents a number of challenges, including information security and the protection of personal data. The lack of physical presence can also reduce the effectiveness of communication by making it harder to build trust and an emotional connection between the parties. Another important issue is the adaptation of the legislative framework for the recognition and regulation of agreements reached through online mediation.

DOCUMENTING VIOLATIONS OF WORKPLACE RULES THROUGH A VIDEO RECORDING

(Plovdiv University Press, 2025-12-15) Radeva, Maria

Monitoring workplace discipline through surveillance cameras is no longer an isolated phenomenon. In this regard, the Commission for Personal Data Protection has issued guidelines on the admissibility of video surveillance in the workplace. An analysis of case law shows that, in the past two years alone, a number of labour disputes have relied on video recordings to establish relevant facts. The purpose of this article is to examine how video recordings can be used as evidence in labour disputes, including for establishing violations of workplace discipline.

IS THE EMPLOYER’S CONTROL BY TECHNICAL MEANS OVER THE EMPLOYEES’ BEHAVIOR, INCLUDING IN AN ELECTRONIC ENVIRONMENT ADMISSIBLE AND NECESSARY?

(Plovdiv University Press, 2025-12-15) Aleksandrov, Andrey

New information and communication technologies not only allow but also make it inevitable that an increasing number of work duties are performed online. In this respect, the first regulation of its kind in EU legislation on the working conditions of platform workers (or the so-called Platform Workers Directive) is also indicative. Although beyond the scope of this study, it stands as indisputable proof of the importance of Internet communication today – something that only a few decades ago seemed like science fiction. A huge number of people around the world, including in our country, spend all or almost all of their working time in front of a computer or other electronic device, communicating predominantly with colleagues, managers, and third parties in an electronic environment. This situation necessitates an ongoing discussion about the limits of employer control over employee behaviour online. Formulated more generally, this question can also be put as follows: how far does the employer’s freedom to control his employees by technical means extend?
