The Artistic Value of Urban Albania Dress in the 19th and 20th Centuries

The aim of this study is to speak about the artistic value of urban Albania dress in the 19th and 20th centuries. Specifically the quality and artistic value that the urban dress contribute in the quality of development for the cultural heritage of Albania. We have studies dedicated to the dress of the rural population whereas we have none for the urban populations and their artistic value. This isn’t to say that the urban dress hasn’t been developed during this time. Therefore in this study we will depending on a bibliography of different scholars—historians and ethnologists that have done analyses of the rural dress; or, in other cases, a piece of writing has mentioned the origin and production of the different fabrics, that were produced for a special person or the attire of those in the cities in general, by those in the village. This happened because the consolidation and institutionalization in general, and specifically for the art and culture that were shaped and consolidated over 900 (nine hundred) years after the declaration of independence on November 1912. This is why the studies in this field are rare and don’t specifically speak about the urban dress and their artistic value. This study will focus on the value of the special artistic features of the attire of the urban population.Keywords: Urban dress, Urban attire, Artistic value, Artistic Characteristics and features

A Dramatic Text is a Fully Rounded Unit Only when it is Performed, Since it is Only in the Performance that its Full Potential is Realized

The study focuses on different approaches to the study of drama put forward by different semioticians. It also demonstrates how all theater semioticians' agreement that the dramatic text (written text) is radically conditioned by its performability (miseen scène) has had a great impact upon translation studies and has led some theoreticians of translation studies to reexamine their position towards translating theater texts. It dwells upon the interface of two theoretical frameworks—the Semiotics of Theater and Theater Translation—as well as on the theoretical polarization between the notions of performability and readability in Theater Translation since the mid-1980s. A dramatic text is a fully rounded unit only when it is performed, since it is only in the performance that its full potential is realized. Real translation takes place on the level of the ‘miseen scène as a whole’ according to Patrice Pavis(1989, 41; author's emphasis)in his article "Problems of Translation for the Stage: Intercultural and Post-Modern Theatre,". The second part of the paper presents how Susan Bassnett and Patrice Pavis, a translation theoretician and a theater semiotician, respectively, have polarized the theory of theater translation into the notions of performability (or playability) and readability since the mid-1980s. In conclusion, the research endeavors to explicate the current theoretical polarization between performability and readability and suggests that this polarization is merely a reductionist illusion.Keywords: Performability/miseen scène, qualitative data, Intercultural and Post-Modern Theatre, interface of two theoretical frameworks, theoretical polarization

Types of Homonyms in Terminology and Ways of Teaching Them

The central aim of this article is to introduce some ways of teaching homonymy typical of specialized texts. Homonymy will be treated regarding its types and new ways of teaching it will be examined closely. This article is based on a study conducted in Albanian forestry compared with English language. Specialized language is the universal language among specialists of a domain and it should leave no room for ambiguity. But in some texts, students come across a set of terms which appear homonymous. Homonymy requires a special importance and treatment because it causes problems with respect to specialists' communication if it isn't avoided. Identifying and studying homonymy serves students as future professionals not only to avoid it but also to communicate more efficiently and easily. Good communication means that the message that you wish to send is received by the intended recipients without being distorted in any manner. Finally, we have tried to present and recommend some effective ways to teach students and make them recognize homonyms whenever they encounter them.Keywords: homonymy, specialized texts, lexical ambiguity, communication

Issue of Creating Technical Terminology in Albanian

The rapid development of science and technology as well as of economy, represent the need to establish multiple terms and linguistic units, which serve for naming new things. As in other languages of the world, so also in the Albanian language, special words, terms, which were previously used only in a particular area of human activity, and were known only to a small circle, with time and under specific conditions of language development, have extended the scope of their use across linguistic boundaries. In many cases these words are not Albanian, but foreign, not always used because of indispensable necessity, but by some negligence, in order to maintain the purity of the language from the influx of foreign words. Engineers and specialists who are not language experts should be helped in any case, when it comes to the naming of new items and processes.Keywords: technical terminology, creation of scientific terms, foreign words, purity of language

“DNA” as a Tool for Missing Persons Identification

In Kosovo, crime has taken worrying extents, especially in the postwar years; there is no doubt that the vacuum created by the lack of laws is one of the circumstances that created the space for such phenomenon. The fundamental issue to legally treat the criminality is to set a proportionate report between the criminal act and the following punishment. Biological disputed tracks treated with special technique are compared with the undisputed biological material and thus prove the existence of their identity. Therefore, the identity of the person, to whom the biological trace belongs, is certainly and accurately proven.Keywords: DNA, genetic code,etc

Composition of Hazelnuts (Corylus Avellana L.) Grown in Albania

Located in the Western Balkan, Albaniais characterized by a Mediterranean climate, which is present in most of its territory. Its geography imposes the possibility of cultivating nuts, showing economic interest in agriculture. The hazelnuts (Corylus avelana L.) in the national subsidy scheme, currently under implementation, are showing high interest in increasing the cultivated nuts’ plantation area. Beyond the economic interest, nuts show a high scientific interest due to their significant contribution to the Mediterranean Diet and their nutritional benefits, such as being an essential source of polyunsaturated fatty acids and essential minerals. Preliminary studies on the main constituents from the two hazelnut cultivars, Visoka and Tonda romana cv., were conducted in two selected regions during the 2011harvesting year. The fatty acid analysis used the AOAC (2000) method. The chemical characterization indicated that the main constituent in the dried hazelnuts results in triglycerides of 59.9- 61.02 g/100 g dry weight. The protein content varies from 14.25-15.14g/100g, and carbohydrates vary from 18.21-20.55 g/100 g dry-weight hazelnut. Minerals with higher values resulted in potassium of 907 mg100g-1 and calcium of 190.5 mg 100g-1. Iron, manganese, magnesium, and copper were other minerals of nutritional importance
