Institutional and non-institutional actors in policy making processes A case study.pdf

This article examines the role and importance of institutional and non-institutional actors in Kosovo’s foreign policy processes. It is based on a review of official documents, non-governmental organization (NGO) research and academic literature, using a research method of material analysis. The paper’s findings reveal Kosovo’s challenges in its policy-making processes and emphasise the essential role of international factors and NGOs. The article provides a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and importance of Kosovo’s foreign policy and the role and influence of institutional actors, such as the ruling party and opposition parties, and non-institutional actors, such as international actors and NGOs. The results emphasise the need for the engagement and support of the international community in Kosovo’s foreign policy efforts. In conclusion, the paper contributes to the ongoing discussion on the policy-making processes in Kosovo and its foreign policy. Judah (2012) emphasised that for Kosovo to have a successful foreign policy, it must have a flourishing internal (domestic) policy because one cannot be successful without the other. The article emphasises the importance of considering institutional and non-institutional actors in the policy-making processes in Kosovo

Male infertility caused by bacterial genital infections

Genital infections are common in men. Male infertility doctors encounter them every day. They are most often caused by the spread of a urinary infection, but the hematogenous and lymphogenous routes of genital infections are also possible, as well as the spread of the infection from surrounding tissues and organs. Gram-positive bacteria that most often cause infections of the genital organs are: Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus agalactiae, while the most common gram-negative bacteria are: Escherichia coli, Proteus spp., Klebsiella spp. , Enterobacter spp., and enterobacterionas and other enterodoma. The frequency and specificity of some infections differ from bacteria, such as: Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma.urealyticum, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Treponema pallidum and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Understanding the link between infections of the accessory glands (associated with the male gonads) and reduced or absent male fertility has been scientifically proven and various antibiotic protocols have been proposed for treatment. In most cases, urogenital bacterial infections are successfully treated, but the increase in the number of leukocytes and impaired function of the accessory glands lasts for several months, which continues to affect a man\u27s fertile capacity

The role of peripheral blood smear analysis in diagnosing the type of anemia

Anemia is a condition seen with the first decrease or entry in relation to hemoglobin in the blood. Throughout the time of the blood test, we evaluate their color as well as the number of platelets present. Anemia is classified based on red blood cell morphology, red indices, and hemoglobin colors. Aims and objectives: With this blood analysis to help clinicians to diagnose the type of anemia by examining peripheral blood streaks and the parameters generated by the available automated counter and to compare the findings between these two methods. Material and methods: The study included the results of hemogram (hemogram) and peripheral blood smear analysis of 340 patients in the time period 01.03.2022. until 01.08.2023. The hematological analysis (schedule) was done at the Polyclinic Laboratory, Biolab Zafi, in Klina and the Medical Laboratory, Biolab-Zafi-F in Pejë. The blood sample for analysis was collected from venous blood with Vacutainer EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid) and from capillary peripheral blood. Strip peripheral blood and stain using May-Grunwald Gimsa stain. Findings in the peripheral strishton and the parameters generated by the counter of this number and the histograms that are evaluated and compared. Results: From 340 samples, hypochromic microcytic anemia is the most common (46.5%), followed by normocytic normochromic (26.3%), dimorphic (22.7%) and finally, hemolytic anemia (4.5%). Compared with the parameters of the ER generated by the counter found and the histograms, the findings in the peripheral strishon, in anemia showed a significant significant difference (P \u3c 0.0001). Conclusions: Peripheral blood smear examination together with ER histogram study may be able to categorize the type of anemia in many cases. Completing these hematological analyzes with other biochemistry parameters can increase the accuracy of the diagnosis of anemias

GENEALOGICAL, GENETIC, BIOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF BAR’S BODY IN HEMOPHILIA TYPE A

This study was included in a sample of 6000 individuals of the population of Presevo and villages. During family interviews we encountered cases, in women carriers with hemophilia while boys hemophiliac. Assuming that the sex X chromosome is inactive, we did not have the opportunity for women to be hemophilic. By doing the genealogical analysis of these families we will present the thoughts about the role of Bar\u27s body when it comes to type A hemophilia. For these cases of hemophiliacs laboratory, biochemical and genetic analyzes have been done to observe the level of penetration and expressiveness of factor VIII. We will present through the genetic tree the origin or genealogy of the gene for this disease. Based on biochemical and genetic analysis using PCR, we will present the level of factor I, IX, XI, aTTP, vWF- Von Willebrandov factor, locus Xq28, genotype ccddee, fibrinogen, blood group, rhesus factor in hemophiliacs included in this study

Exploring Productive Use of Educational Games in Teaching English as a Foreign Language

Educational games significantly support classroom learning and promote social interaction among peers. Research studies clearly show that the use of games is a basic strategy in language education, in order to include all students regardless of their language level. According to Gartner, games play a special role in a child\u27s development because they push the child to discover his motor and thinking skills. The role of games in foreign language learning is also related to the theory of multiple intelligences presented by Gartner. The game in the classroom brings fun and makes learning more useful for all students, relieves stress and plays an important role in the implementation of inclusiveness. This research explains some examples of educational games in English language learning as well as sheds light on some essential elements that educational games should have that teachers can implement in an inclusive classroom

The Odyssey of Public Secondary School Teachers Who Survived COVID-19: A Phenomenological Study

During the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers faced challenges due to the adoption of distance learning. This study explored the lived experiences of public secondary school teachers from the Schools Division of Dumaguete City who recovered from COVID-19. Through Colaizzi\u27s method of data analysis, the findings revealed three emergent themes and nine clustered themes, providing insights into their diverse experiences. The following themes are: 1) Struggles of Teachers with COVID-19 which include (a) traumatic experiences; (b) cognitive dysfunctions; (c) social discrimination; (d) technicalities of covid-19; 2: During and After effects of COVID19 Teacher’s Performance which include (e) work performance efficiency; (f) level of teaching capacity (g) coping mechanism; 3: Programs Promoting Teaching Effectiveness to Teacher who Has undergone COVID-19 which include; (h) mental health program; and (i) financial support. It was then found that the entireness of the teachers’ lived experiences of COVID-19 has never been easy. It was subsequently discovered that the entirety of the teachers\u27 lived experiences of COVID-19 was never easy. Consequently, it was recommended that the teachers, particularly those who survived and were traumatized by COVID- 19, be provided with mental health support and financial assistance to effectively cope and perform well in their jobs within the new normal education settings

The Portrayal of the Working Class in Victorian Literature

The Victorian era, from 1837 to 1901, marked a significant shift in British society, influenced by industrialization, urbanization, and the British Empire\u27s rise. The abstract delves into the Victorian working class\u27s diverse occupations, living conditions, and status, highlighting their struggles with labor, long hours, and meager wages, including child labor. The Victorian working class, in fluxing from rural areas, became urbanized, causing sanitation and public health concerns in slums. Workers\u27 unions emerged for improved labour conditions and social justice. Victorian working class significantly influenced literature, arts, and culture, highlighting their struggles and contributions to art, music, and societal reform. This abstract explores the diverse experiences and contributions of the Victorian working class, highlighting their transformative struggles and the significant social and political changes that shaped the modern world

AUTOMATION AND OPTIMIZATION OF COMPUTER NETWORKS

The progressive growth of technology globally, sometimes even exponentially in certain technology subfields, is undoubtedly a result of global networking. The number of devices and their connections/correlations has reached massive proportions. With the ever-increasing demand for internet connectivity and faster access, we need to design optimal network structures for every category of clients. These network structures must meet specific parameters to be considered optimal. Networks must have scalability potential, which should be the primary focus of global ISPs or ISPs where each of their clients is a lower-level ISP in the hierarchy. Networks should provide the potential for rapid internet access speed for clients. Another critically important parameter is internet accessibility from a temporal perspective. Based on the above-mentioned parameters, we see that they are extremely important, but not exclusive. These can be optimally fulfilled with continuous monitoring and automation of network structures. Micro-level analysis/monitoring of every aspect of network structure creates a massive and highly valuable dataset that can be used for modeling systems to predict future business issues (from the perspective of ISPs) and make more informed decisions for optimizing these networks

Protection and promotion of the right to property as a fundamental human right

This study aims to understand the state of protection of property rights in Kosovo, as a fundamental human right. The research questions raised in this study are: Q1: What is the legal framework in the field of property protection in Kosovo and how does it align with international standards for the protection of fundamental human rights? Q2: What are the main problems related to the right to property and that risk the violation of the provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights and not only? The issues analyzed during this study have highlighted the need to improve the protection of property rights, especially the protection of women\u27s rights and the property rights of displaced persons and members of non-majority communities. Another critical issue remains the high degree of informality in the property sector

Comparative approach to the legal regulation of Joint-stock companies in the Republic of Kosovo, North Macedonia and Albania

The aim of this paper is to give a comparative account of the normative organization of joint stock companies in the Republic of Kosovo, Macedonia, Albania, as the personification of capital trading companies, and as one of the most important forms of business management. In three laws on commercial companies, the concept that a joint-stock company is a special form of a commercial company is accepted. What is important to note is the fact that joint-stock companies, as a special form of commercial companies, in the three countries that are the subject of the work\u27s analysis, were created as a result of an unnatural economic process. Considering the socio-economic conditions, joint stock companies in all three countries were created in the process of transformation of social capital. On the other hand, by reviewing the professional literature in the field of company law, all scientific works that deal with this form of company point to the conclusion that the joint-stock company was created at the time of colonialism and the industrial revolution and the general opinion that modern capitalism cannot develop unless there is a joint stock company. The predecessors of joint stock companies gather in the first banks in Italy. The first forms of joint stock companies are large overseas colonial companies that were founded from 1600 onwards. In relation to the issue of introducing a normative system for the regulation of trading companies, England took the lead with its Companies Act in 1862. Today, under the influence of European integration, the process of coordination and harmonization of significant differences in the national legislation of the member states in relation to the development and legal solutions for joint-stock companies has begun. The Council of Europe adopted a series of directives related to the harmonization and unification of the organization and operations of joint stock companies
