El presente trabajo ofrece una aproximación biográfica a Lluís Joan del Milà, sobrino del papa Calixto III y futuro “cardenal de Albaida”. Partiendo de su promoción eclesiástica al amparo de su tío, se analiza su actividad al servicio de Pío II y Paulo II, su proyecto señorial en tierras valencianas, sus contactos intelectuales y las empresas artísticas impulsadas en Roma, Viterbo y el valle de Albaida. En el ámbito político-eclesiástico se contemplan sus ambiguas relaciones con la Corona y su gobierno en las diócesis de Segorbe y Lérida, donde las preocupaciones familiares asfixiaron sus responsabilidades pastorales. Son las luces y las sombras de este prelado del Renacimiento que vivió entre dos penínsulas en intensa transformación artística y religiosa.

Full textAbstract:
Albania is one of the most karst-developed countries in Europe. Karst phenomena are related to soluted carbonate formations which cover of about 7300 km2 of Albanian territory and with sulfate evaporates rocks, which outcrop of about 500 km2. Typically alpine relief of average altitude 708 m above the sea level and high horizontal splitting are favorable for karst development. Karst and geological sites of karst origin are widespread mainly in Albanian Alps and in Ionian zone. In Albanides there are determined surfaces and underground karst forms which belong to the Neo-Pliocene-Quaternary age and deep karst forms belonging to the paleokarst in old formations. The most widespread karst forms in carbonate rocks there are valleys, caves, cones etc., while into salt rocks there are formed many karstic lakes and depressions. Up to now there are determined about 80 karstic caves, nice karst fields, valleys, plains, which represent geological sites of karst origin.

Full textAbstract:
For more than 40 years, full cycle Copper industry has exercised its activity in central Mirdita, as one of the priorities for the economic development of this zone. Copper deposits have been discovered in many parts of the territory of central Mirdita, whereas the main activity of the mining and processing industry is located in the Fan iriver valley. The interruption of industrial activity after the years '90, could not stop the negative environmental impact. The presence of dumps in Fani river banks (as in Repsi, Rresheni and Rubiku) and numerous mining works· (addits) in Spaçi and Kodër Spaçi slopes, from which many acid waters drain, including also the natural leaching of surface outcrops of mineralized zones, make up a serious danger to the biodiversity of this area. Several recommendations to reduce the environmental impact of the tailings and copper ores in the dumps in Fani river valley are given in this paper

In this study there are demonstrated for the first time in albanian literature the palynomorphologic characteristics of two types of plants (Centaurea epirota and Viola epirota), collected in Zagoria valley, Gjirokastra region, in Albania. To carry out the study, light microscopy was used and it was concluded that the pollen grains of Centaurea epirota were 3 colporate, isopolar, with radial symmetry. In the polar view, the pollen grains have a circular triangular shape while in the equatorial view they have a compressed oval shape. Exine appeared scabrate. Viola epirota consisted of 3-4 colporate, sometimes even 5 colporate pollen grains. In the polar view, the pollen grains had a circular shape of 3 or 4 angles, sometimes even 5 angles while in the equatorial view they had an elliptical shape. Exine appeared granulate. To see the impact of ecological factor and the method of laboratory processing of pollen grains, the size of the new species studied was compared with the size of the pollen grains of Centaurea cyanus and Viola alba, Viola odorata and Viola arvensis, taken from the native literature.

Full textAbstract:
There were numerous Slavic settlements in South Albania (including the valley of Shushica River) at the end of the 1st millennium. In the second half of the 9th c. a significant part of this region was conquered by the 1st Bulgarian Kingdom, and after 870 there were established ecclesiastical dioceses which became part of the church organization of the Kingdom. Slavonic ecclesiastical schools were established in that region as well, after 886 in the context of the so-called “Slavonic project” of the Bulgarian prince, Boris. St. Clement took an active part in this project. It was South Albania where the first Slavonic bishopric in Southeast Europe was founded, in 893, when St. Clement was appointed bishop. His bishopric was organized according ethnic principle, so that St. Clement was called “the bishop of Slavonic people.” The center of Clement’s bishopric was in Velica, which is related to the modern settlement Velçë in the Shushica valley. There are ruins of a cross-in-square church with a narthex in the Asomat region, which is located near Velica. The church was built at the end of the 9th‒beginning of the 10th cc. and dedicated to the Archangel Michael. The plan of this church is identical with that of the so-called “pronaos” of the church built by St. Clement in his Ohrid monastery. In St. Clement’s bishopric Church Slavonic was used as a liturgical language. For that purpose, a set of Byzantine liturgical books was translated from Greek into Church Slavonic, and Clement took an active part in this process. Liturgical pecularities of these books partially observed in Greek manuscripts of South Italian provenance testify to the hypothesis that Greek sources of the earliest Church Slavonic translations belonged to liturgical tradition of Epirus, similar to those of South Italy. This also proves the location of St. Clement’s bishopric in the valley of the Shushica River.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Canyons are among the most interesting geosites created by the erosive activity of the rivers, processes of weathering and erosion or tectonic activity and are distinguished for the aesthetic beauty of the shapes, the labyrinths of the valleys, the steepness of the slopes, the greatness of vertical walls, waterfalls, caves, etc., bearing high scientific, educational and touristic values. Albania has a considerable number of canyons due to the presence of a rich river network flowing through the variety of geological formations and tectonic faults. Outstanding are the wellformed canyons in limestone rocks with almost vertical walls such as Gradec canyon in Çorovoda, Lëngarica canyon in Përmet, Grunas canyon in Theth, etc. The only canyons which are formed on magmatic rocks are the canyons of Devoll. For their values, the most interesting canyons are included in the list of nature monuments as geomonuments. The most magnificent and frequented canyons for tourism in Albania are the Osum canyons, Gradec canyon, Lëngarica canyon and Nivica canyon. These distant impressing landforms, once forgotten and unexplored, are now attracting the attention of many tourists either for admiring their natural scenery, hiking and rafting or for curative tourism. However, despite their values the canyons are not enough known due to lack of information or poor promotion. Filling this gap has served this study where the geotouristic potential of the canyons is evaluated according to four criteria of Knapik.at.al such as accessibility, state of preservation, scientific value and education value (Solarska and Jary, 2010). The database of the canyons is organized in an inventory card which contains general and specific data of each geosite. The final product of this project will be a website that will inform the public and promote the values of the canyons of Albania.

UDK 674.5:595.7(496.5 Berati)
There are about 350 icons at the deposit of the Middle Age Museum of Berati, among 4500 items of very precious wooden artwork heritage, all over Albania, Actually four of these icons are under restoration process and our first scientific collaboration in this process consisted in identification of wood and wood-boring insects.
The technique used for the anatomic study of the icons wood was the resin inclusion. After chemical treating of small samples in resin (butyl based) and their thermal treating in thermostat (temperature 60ºC for 12 hours), anatomic sections were prepared by microtome. The microscope observations showed that three icons belong to Juglans regia L. (very typical specie of the forests of that area) and only one belongs to Populus sp., probably Populus alba L., because it is the only one specie naturally grown in Osumi valley in the south of Albania.
Accurate observations and measurements have been done for the inspection of wood deterioration, which showed considerable fungi decay and insect damages, especially from Anobium punctatum. The method of vacuum was used for insect disinfection of icons. The process of wood identification is going on for the other icons in the restoration process.

El objetivo principal de esta investigación es estudiar la música religiosa de los pueblos delValle de Albaida,pues ha sido el género musical menos estudiado. El trabajo es un estudiode ambas, tanto en lo documental como en su transcripción.Uno de los motivos para que me decidiera por el tema de esta tesis doctoral, y así contribuircon mi aportación a divulgar la gran creatividad musical y artística de estos pueblos delValle de Albaida y descubrir la historia de los órganos de sus iglesias y las características delos mismos, así como conocer el nombre de los organeros que trabajaron en losinstrumentos de esta zona.Es interesante el estudio que lleva al conocimiento de los músicos autóctonos que tuvieronuna importancia decisiva en el mundo musical de su época y representan una parte, nadadesdeñable, dentro del conjunto de nuestra historia, no sólo en el ámbito musical valenciano,sino también en el español e incluso algunos en el europeo.El estudio de estos documentos, una vez inventariados y habiendo documentado las fuentesy junto con el conocimiento del contexto social de la época, meha ha permitido valorarlos ensí mismos y en su trascendencia dentro de la cultura valenciana, y en muchas ocasionestambién en la europea.En el capítulo que se inicia después de esta introducción y que figura en el índice con elnúmero I, se trata el Entorno geográfico e histórico de este valle de tan marcado saborvalenciano, sus costumbres y también su toponimiaHe estudiado La Música Religiosa de los siglos XVII- XVIII - XIX y principios del XX,en el Valle de Albaida. . Y dentro de este capítulo, se estudia el interesante fenómeno de lasCapillas Musicales, más o menos importantes, según las poblaciones, en el conjunto de esteterritorio y la participación de sus músicos que contribuían a dar solemnidad a los oficiosreligiosos en los templos de estos pueblos. También la Toponímia de ellos y el origen de losmismos. Estas Capillas de Música estaban dirigidas por un Maestro de Capilla y compuestaspor un grupo de cantores e instrumentistas, y entre ellos había, casi siempre, un organista (yaque en esta época todos los templos importantes gozaban de un órgano); a todos losorganistas se les pagaba por sus servicios; también si las Capillas Musicales eran itinerantes..Así mismo he estudiado el órgano en los pueblos del Valle d Albaida. El órgano hispanoha sido base de estudio de la musicología occidental, y había razones suficientes para que los instrumentos históricos que pertenecieron a los pueblos del Valle de Albaida, casi todosdesaparecidos, fueran objeto de atención y estudio y liberarlos así del olvido. También era degran interés estudiar las figuras de maestros de capilla, organistas y organeros y su influenciaen la organería valenciana y que ello contribuyera a conocer mejor la historia de losinstrumentos de los templos de la comarca, que acompañaron la vida musical religiosa de loshabitantes de ella, así como recuperar la música sacra de los compositores que crearon obraspara ser interpretadas, en muchos casos, en esos órganos; música que logró popularizarse,incluso fuera de los límites de estas tierras.Estudio también la ifluencia de la Estetica Popular en la música rligiosa de estos pueblos.Diferencio entre Canto Popular y el Canto Tradicional Religioso.Incluyo una relación de compositores organistas y maestros de capilla de esta época,relacionados con estos pueblos del Valle de AlbaidaReferente a la música de autor, adjunto en este trabajo partituras, y fotocopias dedocumentos musicales encontrados a lo largo de esta investigación .SePresento un extenso Apéndice Documental, referente a los temas de esta tesis, asi como uníndice de músicos de esta zona.Las conclusiones de esta tesis ilustran tambien los usos y costumbres de los habitantes deestos pueblos en la época estudiada.The main objective of my research is the study of religious music in the towns ofthe Albaida Valley, in the province of Valencia, since it has been the leaststudied type of music in this area. This work is a study of their popular and theirauthored music and gives both the documentation and the transcription of them.One of the reasons for which I decided on this topic for this doctoral thesis wasto contribute, in my own way, to revealing the great artistic and musicalcreativity of these towns in the Albaida Valley and to discover the history andcharacteristics of the organs in their churches. At the same time it was anopportunity to know the names of the organ makers who worked on theinstruments in this area. This study leads to an understanding of the localmusicians who were decisively important in the musical world of their time andwho played a significant role in our history, not only in the realm of Valencianand Spanish music but in the case of some musicians, in European music aswell.The Hispanic organ has been a basis of study in western musicology and thereare sufficient reasons for why the historical instruments of the Albaida Valleytowns - almost all now gone, should be the subject of attention and study andthus not be forgotten about forever.In my thesis I study the religious music of the XVII - XIX centuries and thebeginnings of the XX century in the Albaida Valley as well as the interestingphenomenon of their Musical Chapels -of varying importance according to thepopulation- as characteristic of this territory and examine the participation of themusicians who contributed to the solemnity of the religious activities in thetemples of these towns. The toponymy and origins of these towns are alsoexamined.My study also includes the influence of popular aesthetics in the religious musicof these towns and the differences between their popular music and theirtraditional religious music.The conclusions of this thesis also illustrate the uses and customs of theinhabitants in the area during the period studied and in the DocumentalAppendix I present an extensive reference on the subjects of this thesis and anindex of the musicians of this area of Spain.

Full textAbstract:
This study assesses the loyalty behaviour of consumers in fast-food restaurants in Saudi Arabia by studying the antecedents and the consequences of loyalty behaviour. The sample consisted of 231 Saudis and non-Saudis living in Saudi Arabia. They were approached using the “snowball” technique. Participants were all over the age of eighteen, and they were customers of Al-Baik restaurants. Data was collected through a face-to-face questionnaire, and analyzed using SPSS software. Specifically, Cronbach’s Alpha test, Pearson correlation coefficient, Spearman correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis were used. Results show that significant relationships exist between the antecedents and the consequences of loyalty behaviour. It is also indicated that participants’ personalities and values were significantly related to the loyalty behaviour of consumers in Saudi Arabia. The major limitation of this study is that it was conducted in only one city, Jeddah. Therefore, additional research should be carried out in other cities with larger samples. The research results offer compelling evidence that Saudi loyalty behaviour differs from Western behaviour. Therefore, it suggests that international fast-food operators in Saudi Arabia should take local factors into account when formulating marketing strategies, such as the role of women and youth in Saudi society. This thesis makes a novel contribution to the literature, as it is the first to model the antecedents and the consequences of loyalty behaviour of consumers in a single study. It is also the first to study contributed to the literature to examine the relation between the Six Dimensional Achievement Motivation Scale (Jackson, Ahmed, and Heapy, 1976), Rokeach Value System (1973), and loyalty behaviour of consumers.

Full textAbstract:
As a political variety within Leninism, different from what is usually called national communism, national Stalinism systematically opposed any form of liberalisation, let alone democratisation. Reactionary and self-centered, it valued autarky and exclusiveness. The fundamental values of such a regime are political voluntarism, sectarianism, radicalism, cult of hierarchy and authority, scorn for parliamentary democracy, and constitutionalism. This article first analyses the origins and the model for national Stalinism, and then looks at four cases amongst Eastern European countries in the post-Stalin era: Romania, Albania, Bulgaria, and Poland. In contrast to Nikolai Lenin, for Joseph Stalin, the complete, irreversible victory of socialism in Russia was not contingent upon the success of proletarian revolutions in the West.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe study clearly shows that identification with Turkey and Iran, with a political Islam that also influences elections and results in a theocracy, promotes religious and gender discrimination and advocates an Islamist interpretation of Islam, are very much the most important, interrelated syndromes of political Islam, which together explain more than 50% of the total variance of the 24 model variables used. If the states of Europe want to win the fight against jihadism, they must work closely with the moderate Arab states, such as Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other Arab Gulf states, and be aware that, on a population-weighted basis, 41% of all Arabs now view the Muslim Brotherhood, which is the strongest and most coherent force in political Islam today, negatively or very negatively. According to the data brought to light here, only 7% of people in the Arab world now have a high level of trust in their country's Islamist movement, while 14% have some trust, 19% have little trust, but 60% have no trust. Our overall index—Overcoming political Islam shows that Morocco and Tunisia are the top performers, while Iraq and Sudan bring up the rear. Following an important study by Falco and Rotondi (2016), we also explore the question of whether political Islam is more prevalent or less prevalent among the more than 20% of the Arab population who plan to emigrate in the coming years than among the population as a whole. Far from feeding alarmist horror scenarios, our evaluation shows firstly that Falco and Rotondi (2016) are correct in their thesis that among potential migrants to the West, political Islam is certainly less pronounced than among the Arab population as a whole. On a population-weighted basis, only 13.11% of potential migrants to the West openly state that they trust the country-specific Islamist movement. In the second part of our empirical evaluations, we explore religiously motivated political extremism (RMPE) by international comparison on the basis of the following items of the World Values Survey, which are sparse but nevertheless available on this topic: The proportion of the global population who favour religious authorities in interpreting the law while accepting political violence is alarmingly high in various parts of the world and is raising fears of numerous conflicts in the coming years in an increasingly unstable world system. It amounts to more than half of the adult population in Tajikistan (the international record holder), and Malaysia and some non-Muslim-majority countries. In many countries, including NATO and EU member states, it is an alarming 25–50%, and we mention here the Muslim-majority countries Iraq, Lebanon, Bangladesh, Kazakhstan, Nigeria and Indonesia. It is 15–25% even in core countries of the Western security architecture, but also in the Muslim-majority countries: Pakistan, Iran and Tunisia. Only in the best-ranked countries, among them the Muslim-majority countries Albania, Egypt, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan and Jordan, the potentially fatal combination of mixing religion and law and accepting political violence has a relatively small following of less than 15%. In the sense of the theses of the late Harvard economist Alberto Alesina (1957–2020), social trust is an essential general production factor of any social order, and the institutions of national security of the democratic West would do well to make good use of this capital of trust that also exists among Muslims living in the West.

Tourism is one of the most crucial sectors contributing to country development. In Albania, the sector`s contribution to GDP has an increasing trend through the years. This study aimed to explore the role of tourism in supporting the development of handicraft sector and analyzing the constraints faced by artisans during their daily activities of crafts production process. Albania is known for the tradition of crafts with precious values, created for centuries by masters of folk, in every province according to the features and specifications of different areas. The most known handicrafts in Albania are works in wood, iron, copper, and precious materials like gold, silver, leather, wool, etc. These values are inherited generation to generation have aroused great interest to visitors and local and foreign researches. In cities like Kruja and Scutari, a diversity of crafts with high utilitarian and aesthetic level is distinguished. This is also the reason of selecting the surveyed sample of artisans from Kruja and Scutari.

Full textAbstract:
Today, in general, all over the world, there is more and more talk about the economic growth of developed and developing countries. One of the successful branches that have contributed to the economic growth of these countries is tourism. Albania is a country with an ancient history reflected in its rich cultural heritage with national and international values. To date, the preservation of its values has been associated with the preservation of national identity, pride, and wealth, while the integration into regional development policies is seen as a good opportunity not only for the preservation of cultural heritage but also for its real contribution to the sustainable economic and social development of the country. Based on the historical and ethnocultural study of Albania in general, and the city of Durres in particular, there is a need for a scientific study oriented to this economic, historical, and cultural attraction, useful and profitable for the regional economy in particular and with a direct impact on the Albanian economy in general. This study highlights the instruments and the way of studying the tourist areas to turn them into important economic centers for the region itself and the national economy. The problem can be posed in this way: Today in Albania there is a need for serious studies on sustainable development, especially in the field of tourism, studies which have not been lacking, but which should be specifically oriented towards a more concise than generalized form, studies that focus on medium or long-term solutions for the development of tourism, mainly historical and cultural, as an important direction for the economic and social development of the country. There are natural resources, human resources, capital, and entrepreneurship initiatives that need to be recognized, valued, oriented, and promoted to increase investment in regional and national tourism. But there is also a significant lack of knowledge on the instruments to be used by these entrepreneurs to be part of success rather than failure, as has happened in some cases for those who have dared to invest in this important sector of the economy and national culture. In the framework of this study, tourism is considered important for sustainable development in the city of Durres. The diversity of cultural monuments, cultural traditions, and traditional hospitality, constitute a strong attraction for domestic and foreign tourists. The aim of this study is the presentation of the tourist potential for the sustainable development of the Durres region, to serve its promotion, as well as the establishment of the relevant tourist infrastructure that will strongly influence the increase of tourists’ interest to visit and create an image for a more attractive and long-term destination.

Full textAbstract:
Virtually all constitutions codify amendment rules. But why? What are the uses and purposes of constitutional amendment rules? Amendment rules of course create a legal process for reformers to alter the constitution. But amendment rules serve important purposes even if the constitution is never amended at all because they have essential uses beyond the obvious one of textual alteration. Amendment rules have three categories of uses: formal, functional, and symbolic. Their formal uses include repairing imperfections, distinguishing constitutional from ordinary law, entrenching rules against easy repeal or revision, and establishing a predictable procedure for constitutional change. Their functional uses include checking the court, promoting democracy, heightening public awareness, pacifying change, and managing difference. Symbolically, amendment rules can be used to express constitutional values. This chapter explains all of these many uses of amendment rules and illustrates each of them with examples drawn from constitutions around the world. This chapter also interrogates the symbolic uses of amendment rules: How can we know whether the values expressed in constitutional amendment rules reflect authentic political commitments? This chapter explains with reference to the German Basic Law that it is possible to evaluate the authenticity of the values in amendment rules by investigating the design of amendment rules and their subsequent interpretation. This chapter considers constitutions from Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Central African Republic, Chad, China, Cuba, Ecuador, Germany, Kazakhstan, Kiribati, Saint Lucia, South Africa, Spain, the Russian Federation, the Soviet Union, Ukraine, the United States, and Yugoslavia.

The article focuses on the importance of cultivating peace through education by teaching human rights to pre-university students. It analyses the positive impact through which peace pedagogy can be integrated across curricula aiming at inducing peace through learning about human rights, values and skills. Various legal documents with an emphasis on education outline the idea that educating young people on human rights is a benefit for both individuals and society. The curriculum should therefore be oriented towards the teaching of rights, as an effective way of instilling the concept of peace and nonviolence into all subject areas and learning environments. UNESCO’s four pillars of learning include, among others, learning to live together, which is central to the development of understanding, consideration, and respect for others. It serves as the basis for ongoing peaceful coexistence. For this reason, governments of different countries have included human rights education in their national curricula. Even in Albania there has been a modest intervention in the curriculum, but there is still much room for improvement. In order to research the space given to teaching human rights in Albanian schools, we have analysed pre-university curricula. We saw that the teaching of human rights is only left to non-core subjects, such as Citizenship etc., but that is by no means enough. The curriculum should therefore, be adapted in such a way that the teaching of human rights is integrated into the core subjects, considering peace education teaching approach for the whole curriculum. Teachers, on the other hand, need to have the right competencies, skills and knowledge to integrate the teaching of human rights regardless of the subject they teach, in order to cultivate peace in their learning communities. Moreover, the Albanian government should adapt the legislation to ensure that schools teach about human and children’s rights. We strongly believe that, by developing curricula and lesson plans using peace pedagogy we would contribute to building nonviolent citizens of tomorrow.

Se presenta una de las dos actuaciones realizadas en Rugat, una pequeña población de la Vall d’Albaida (Valencia), de bajísimo presupuesto, obtenido de fondos FEDER, cuyo objetivo fue regenerar el entorno urbano, mediante la intervención en el escaso y degradado espacio público disponible. Ambos casos emplearon hormigón visto como material esencial, adaptando sus posibilidades formales, color y textura, a las posibilidades de cada emplazamiento. Además de mejorar accesos y conexión a edificios y calles existentes, el ayuntamiento deseaba obtener pequeños lugares de estancia y reunión para los vecinos, que otorgasen un mínimo de calidad y dignidad a estos espacios, cuyo único interés compartido era la presencia de sendas pequeñas fuentes públicas, entonces en desuso, que fueron incorporadas a la renovación urbana. La intervención realizada en la Plaza de la Iglesia consistía en recuperar y dignificar un espacio urbano público para el pueblo de Rugat. Sin embargo, en su estado original, este espacio no se puede considerar una plaza, por sus pequeñas dimensiones; y aunque está cerca de la Iglesia, tampoco es el tradicional espacio público donde se levanta la iglesia del pueblo, sino que este espacio es producto de una irregularidad en la trama urbana, un ligero ensanchamiento del trazado viario.***This paper describes one of the projects carried out in Rugat, a small village in the Albaida Valley in Valencia (Spain) on a low budget obtained from FEDER funds. The aim was to renovate the somewhat degraded available public space of the urban environment. In both cases concrete was used as the essential material, adapting its formal possibilities, color and texture to the conditions of each site. Besides improving access and the connections with existing buildings and streets, the local council wished to recover small leisure spaces and meeting places with the minimum standards of quality and dignity. The spaces’ only common interest was the presence of small public fountains, previously out of service, which were included in the renovation. The Church Square project consisted of recovering and renovating a public space in Rugat even though, due to its reduced size, could not originally be considered a public square. Neither was it the traditional public space that contained the village church, in spite of being close to it, but was created as the result of a bend in the road that passes through the village.

La Fuente de la Serreta, ocupa un rincón entre dos calles curvas en acusado desnivel. La apuesta fue conciliar la verticalidad del terreno con la horizontalidad del programa, organizado en dos niveles, conectando ambas calles, con la fuente abajo y una plataforma superior, a la vez balcón y protección. Todo se resolvió con una única pieza de hormigón, a la vez cimiento, escalera, banco, muro, losa y pavimento, con un muro de mampostería y un fantástico árbol como fondo.***This paper describes two low-budget interventions carried out in Rugat, a small village in the Albaida Valley in Valencia, financed by FEDER funds. The aim was to regenerate the urban environment of the small and somewhat deteriorated available public space. In both cases concrete was used as the essential material, adapting its formal possibilities, color and texture to the conditions of each site.

The spaces’ only common interest was the presence of small public fountains, previously out of service, which were included in the renovation. The Serreta Fountain was on a corner between two curving streets on a steep slope. The challenge here was to merge the vertical aspect of the terrain with the horizontal design of the program, organized into two levels, connecting both streets with the fountain below and a platform above that acted as both balcony and protection. The entire project was achieved with a single piece of concrete that acted as foundation, steps, bench, wall, slab and pavement, with a masonry wall and spectacular tree in the background.

In 5th International Scientific Conference – EMAN 2021 – Economics and Management: How to Cope With Disrupted Times.

Full textAbstract:
The Ishmi River basin, although it is the smallest of the seven watersheds of Albania, is by far the most polluted one. The assessment of water quality monitoring data over the period 2014 – 2019 in the river system shows annual average concentrations above limit values for ammonia, nitrogen dioxide, nitrate and phosphorus. The paper presents the key stages of the approach followed to identify waterbody pressures, status and impacts assessment, namely: • Identification of driving forces and pressures; • Identification of the significant pressures; • Determination of the consequent status; • Assessment of the impacts; and • Evaluation of the risk of failing to meet the objectives. Quantification of pressures, though feasible, requires significant amounts of good quality data, many of which are not currently collected in Albania. Significant improvements in data collection and coordination between competent authorities will be required as part of future measures.

Çera, Gentjan, Edmond Çera, and Zoltan Rozsa. "Exploring the associations between institutional constraints and entrepreneur’s perception in future business climate." In Contemporary Issues in Business, Management and Economics Engineering. Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.3846/cibmee.2019.066.
Full textAbstract:
Purpose – although many studies emphasise that institutional environment shapes business activity, yet it is not clear enough how legal environment, tax administration and stimulation policies are associated with entrepreneur’s perception in the future business climate. This paper seeks to explore these associations in the context of a post-communist transition country. Research methodology – the research takes an institutional perspective, and its analysis is conducted on a firm-level data collection through a face-to-face survey. Kruskal-Wallis test followed up by Jonckheere-Terpstra and Mann-Whitney tests, were employed in a dataset of 404 firms operating in Albania. Findings – the analysis offers important insights into the nature of entrepreneurship in a post-communist setting. It was found a significant association between future business climate and legal environment and tax administration. Between stimulation policies and business climate was reported an insignificant association. High levels in the legal environment and tax administration lead to the less favourable future business climate. Research limitations – though Albania has similarities with other transition countries in terms of regional, economic and political environments, the generalisation of these results to another context is limited. Originality/Value – this research provides insights for scholars studying entrepreneurship in institutional transformation contexts, and it contributes to the accumulation of knowledge on transition countries by focusing on the little-studied case of Albania.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this paper was to find whether there is a relationship between gratitude and happiness among the respondents in a study focusing Albania, in the post-pandemic period. Hypothesis was that there is a significant positive relationship between the level of gratitude and that of happiness among the selected population. In order to verify the hypothesis, the paper used a quantitative approach, gathering primary through a survey distributed online. 322 individuals took part in the study. Subjective happiness scale and Gratitude scale were the two main instruments used within the study in order to evaluate the relationship between both. The findings showed that there is a statistically significant relationship between gratitude and happiness within the sample of this study. The positive value of the result tells us that the relationship between the two variables increases exponentially with each other, so the more the gratitude increases the greater the happiness between the group study in Albanian population, which confirms the primary hypothesis raised by the study. Keywords: gratitude, happiness, relationship, Albania, sample

Full textAbstract:
Studies show that happiness positively affects the student's learning process. Happy students have higher academic achievements, better relationships with friends as well as more active participation in secondary activities in education. International education policies estimate that happiness is correlated with well-being and life quality. Yet, happiness is not considered as one of the mail goals in the Albanian education policy and legislation. The article will firstly shed light on the impact of happiness on better student performance. It will reflect the international legislation and policies which have valued happiness as a fundamental human goal, by extending the relevant analysis in the field of legislation and policies in Albania. The analyses will help to understand the place that happiness occupies in the goals of education and the need for evaluation of the level of student happiness as a tool towards student well-being and education quality. The article will focus on the need to include the concept of happiness in the whole educational process, in order to positively encourage students not only in terms of higher school performance but also in terms of their overall well-being. Key words: education, happiness, Albania, students, well-being

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT Recognizably the teachers’ profession is important in shaping the knowledge and skills of youth. At equal importance is teachers’ satisfaction and motivation related to their professional activity for overall quality outcomes in the education process. Certainly, in the past, also in the modern time, the teachers’ role is incredibly significant and linked to the prosperity of a nation. The aim of this study was to take a glance in Physical Education (PE) Teachers’ satisfaction in relation with their professional activity. Participants in this research study were (N=88) PE teachers from various levels of professional qualification, who led classes in physical education and sports in the Albanian school system. A modified questionnaire with 22 items related to satisfaction with the teaching profession was applied. The statistical instruments for this study were: descriptive analysis, factor analysis principal component analysis. The following five factors related to the satisfaction of the profession were identified: (a) professional relations, (b) professional development and educational reforms, (c)organization working conditions, (d) social working conditions, (e) salary, and insurance. The items with the highest values were: - professional relations with colleagues, professional relations with school management, evaluation of school management at work, and opportunities to participate in the education and personal development of youth. In contrast, the items with the lowest values were the amount of payment, working conditions and facilities for educational activity, reforms in education, social and health insurance. This study found that factors related to internal educational setting and professional environment have the greatest impact on teachers’ satisfaction. On the other hand, external factors contribute to teachers’ dissatisfaction such as salary, health insurance, working conditions, facilities, and reforms in education.

In ASME 1996 International Gas Turbine and Aeroengine Congress and Exhibition. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 1996. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/96-gt-307.
Full textAbstract:
Subject of this paper is a numerical method for the simulation of flutter in three dimensional oscillating cascades. Unsteadiness can be caused by bending and torsional oscillation modes simultaneously. The goal of the investigation is the evaluation of the resulting blade forces and moments. The flow is assumed to be time-dependent and inviscid. By solving the Euler equations in a nonlinear way, large oscillations as well of the airfoil as of existing shocks can be treated. The numerical solution follows a Godunov-type upwind scheme, formulated in node centered finite volume technique. An approximative Riemann solver proposed by Roe is used to determine the fluxes over the surfaces of the control volume. Since unphysical expansion shocks have to be suppressed, a modification of the transonic characteristic speeds is included. The extrapolation of the flow values onto the control volumes’ surfaces is done by means of the MUSCL technique, embedded in a TVD-scheme with the flux limiter by van Albada. The computational domain is restricted to only one channel and the periodic values are stored over one period of oscillation. A special technique is introduced, which reduces both the effort in CPU-time and in computer memory. Results are included for compressor and turbine geometries in sub- and transonic flow.
