    To remedy historic injustices against the Albanian borders and stop the violence and Serbian military repression against Kosovo Albanians, the delegates of Albania at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919-1920, demanded the revision of Albania's borders of 1913. They made efforts to include Kosovo and other Albanian territories within the Albanian state.[1] But even after the intense talks that took place in Paris and in its circumstances that resulted in the signing of the Peace Agreements in Versailles between States of Antante and other states of axis,[2] Kosovo at this peaceful conference was left in the framework of the newly formed Kingdom of Serb-Croat-Slovenia (MSKS). Whereas Albania an independent state was admitted to the borders of 1913.[3] As a consequence, Kosovo's economic situation began to weaken.[1] Dusan T.

    The theory of evolution of complex and comprising of human systems and algorithm for its constructing are the synthesis of evolutionary epistemology, philosophical anthropology and concrete scientific empirical basis in modern (transdisciplinary) science. «Trans-disciplinary» in the context is interpreted as a completely new epistemological situation, which is fraught with the initiation of a civilizational crisis. Philosophy and ideology of technogenic civilization is based on the possibility of unambiguous demarcation of public value and descriptive scientific discourses (1), and the object and subject of the cognitive process (2). Both of these attributes are no longer valid. For mass, everyday consciousness and institutional philosophical tradition it is intuitively obvious that having the ability to control the evolutionary process, Homo sapiens came close to the borders of their own biological and cultural identity. The spontaneous coevolutionary process of interaction between the «subject» (rational living organisms) and the «object» (material world), is the teleological trend of the movement towards the complete rationalization of the World as It Is, its merger with the World of Due. The stratification of the global evolutionary process into selective and semantic (teleological) coevolutionary and therefore ontologically inseparable components follows. With the entry of anthropogenic civilization into the stage of the information society, firsty, the post-academic phase of the historical evolution of scientific rationality began, the attributes of which are the specific methodology of scientific knowledge, scientific ethos and ontology. Bioethics as a phenomenon of intellectual culture represents a natural philosophical core of modern post- academic (human-dimensional) science, in which the ethical neutrality of scientific theory principle is inapplicable, and elements of public-axiological and scientific-descriptive discourses are integrated into a single logic construction. As result, hermeneutics precedes epistemology not only methodologically, but also meaningfully, and natural philosophy is regaining the status of the backbone of the theory of evolution – in an explicit for

    Albanians who remained outside the borders of the Albanian Administration faced systematic violence of Serbian Government this violence has been planned since Grashanin's program. To continue with series of programs and elaborations that began to be implemented in order for the Albanian people to move from their ancestral lands and instead to settle Slav residents. This propaganda was mostly empowered at the time of the Serbo-Croatian-Slovenian Kingdom, to continue later, even at different times, until the end of the twentieth century, i.e. on the eve of the beginning of the KLA war, which was supported by the international factor. In this paper i have tried to address some of the Serbian programs and the goals of these programs. The Grashanin program (1844) was in fact a requirement to revive the Car Dushan Empire state, which is well known for what purposes and what violence it has exercised over the Albanian local population. Apart from Grashanin's program i have tried to present, as chauvinistic program that preceded the displacement of Albanians, the program of 1862; the program of 1868; the program for deportation in the sea of the year 1881; the program of 1897; the program of 1902; the program of the year 1920 on the cleansing of Albanian lands; The elaboration of Çubrillović of 1937; The projects "Serbia Homogeneous", designed in 1941; The Blue Program of 1977; Memorandum of the Serbian Academy of 1986, etc.Keywords: violence, chauvinistic programs, propaganda, migration, elaborate etc

    The bird\u27s eye view

    How can we make sense of the borders between destruction and construction, between matter and ourselves, at the same time? How habitable is a border? How does sound echo and vibrate on the border? Are borders a space of segregation or dialogue? Where is the border between our brain and our own voice? Between the transparent and opaque? Between the paint and the floor? Between the receiver and transmitter? Between the eye and the tear? Are borders monuments of extinctions of human contact? The self defines itself as bordered and limited. The moments where destructive events seem like a ruin point to an end of society. Or at least the speed of change and its manipulations put us on edge. I create multimedia and interactive installations with concrete, metal, glass, light, sound, and makeshift materials (dropcloths, bubblewrap, etc.). I make spaces by juxtapositioning and dislocating these materials and the structures of which they were once made. I’m interested in the thresholds and dichotomies between the material and immaterial, invisible and visible, ephemeral and permanent, placed and displaced. This book is a series of writings that range from poetic expressions to descriptions of processes, experiments, and artworks to diaristic narrative. It is like a sketchbook, as full of questions and uncertainties as my work itself

    The persistent captive life cycle of a virus infected mosquito was examined. The model system used was Aedes albopictus and the Alphavirus, Sindbis virus. The adult life span of virus infected Ae. albopictus was compared to the life span of virus free Ae. albopictus. Intrathoracic inoculation was the method used to infect the experimental group of the adult female Ae. albopictus with Sindbis virus. This experimental data demonstrates that this virus does not hamper the mosquito life span. The results from this experiment can be used in future experiments, such as examining the immune system of the mosquito and its responses or protection strategies against the Sindbis virus. This virus serves as a model for more virulent Alphaviruses, such as Eastern Equine Encephalitis that can cause serious and fatal diseases. Additionally, Ae. albopictus in this experiment can serve as a model for other species of mosquitoes infected with the virus

    Abstract. Purpose: to determine features of interrelation and influence of expenses by fee in the field of law and other expenses on financial result of the Russian enterprises. Methods: general-logical methods of knowledge, correlation and regression analysis, comparative analysis, graphic analysis. Results: in article features of interrelation and influence of fee expenses in the field of law and other expenses on financial result of the Russian enterprises are investigated. The general characteristic of subject relevance is given. The modern scientific works considering questions of interrelation and various factors influence on financial result are analyzed. Despite rather large number of publications on the matter, we revealed lack of works of the expenses of the enterprises on external legal services considering influence on their financial result. For elimination of this gap, as the first of steps, we generalized data on proceeds from sales, profits before the taxation, prime costs, fee expenses in the field of law, fee expenses of science, fee of education, fee expenses of audit organizations. Specific weight of the presented expenses in prime cost is calculated. This statistics is presented from 2011 for 2016 in a section of the federal districts of Russia. Further the coefficients of correlation and factors which are most closely interconnected with revenue and profit were defined. The regression model of the result-ing sign (proceeds from sales) and factorial signs is constructed (fee expenses in the field of law and fee expenses of science). An assessment of quality of the received regression equation is in conclusion given. Scientific novelty: in article on the basis of the regression analysis an assessment of interrelation and to influence of fee expenses in the field of law for proceeds from sales is given. Practical importance: the main results, provisions and conclusions of article can be used when developing strategy of the enterprises, at decision-making in the field of management of expenses. Thedata obtained in article will be useful to scientists-economists, scientific and pedagogical workers to expansion and better understanding of subject domain. The methodological base of article can act as an example when forming research competences of students, undergraduates and graduate students.Keywords: revenue, profit, expenses from fee in the field of law, fee expenses of science, education fee, fee expenses of audit organizations, correlation, regression, multiple-factor regression model of revenue, financial result, the federal districts of Russia, the Northwestern Federal District, the Volga Federal District, the Southern Federal District, the Ural Federal District, Siberian Federal District, the Far Eastern Federal District, the North Caucasian Federal District, Central Federal District

    The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of an acute local vibration exercise on the visual reaction time of a fencer’s upper body extremities. Twenty-six male fencers between the ages of 15 and 23 (mean age, 17.38 ± 2.13 years, height: 173.6±9.1 cm, body mass: 70.2 ±14.1 kg) volunteered for this study. The reaction time test was applied before and after the vibration exercise (applied for 30 seconds in 27 Hz with a 2-mm amplitude). After 25 min. standard warming up, fencers were informed about the test, and three repeated reaction tests were performed to provide familiarization. The fencers started the reaction test in the standard fencing guard position. According to five signals coming at two to five second intervals from the target monitor, the fencers made touché by bending (attacking). The reaction time test had five trials. The average reaction time values pre-vibration, and post-vibration were compared. The visual reaction time measured pre-vibration were significantly longer than those measured post-vibration (p<0.001). Acute local vibration exercise applied to fencers shortened the visual reaction time. Given the fact that vibration can improve RT, the use of vibration in training has the potential to provide an advantage to fencers.El propósito de este estudio es determinar el efecto de un ejercicio de vibración local aguda en el tiempo de reacción visual de las extremidades superiores de un esgrimidor. Veintiséis esgrimidores masculinos entre las edades de 15 y 23 (edad media, 17.38 ± 2.13 años, altura: 173.6 ± 9.1 cm, masa corporal: 70.2 ± 14.1 kg) se ofrecieron como voluntarios para este estudio. La prueba del tiempo de reacción se aplicó antes y después del ejercicio de vibración (aplicado durante 30 segundos en 27 Hz con una amplitud de 2 mm). Después de 25 min. calentamiento estándar, se informó a los esgrimidores sobre la prueba y se realizaron tres pruebas de reacción repetidas para proporcionar familiarización. Los esgrimidores comenzaron la prueba de reacción en la posición estándar de protección de esgrima. De acuerdo con cinco señales que vienen a intervalos de dos a cinco segundos desde el monitor objetivo, los esgrimistas hicieron un toque al doblarse (atacar). La prueba del tiempo de reacción tuvo cinco ensayos. Se compararon los valores promedio de tiempo de reacción pre-vibración y post-vibración. El tiempo de reacción visual medido antes de la vibración fue significativamente mayor que el medido después de la vibración (p <0.001). El ejercicio de vibración local aguda aplicado a los esgrimidores acortó el tiempo de reacción visual. Dado que la vibración puede mejorar la RT, el uso de la vibración en el entrenamiento tiene el potencial de proporcionar una ventaja a los esgrimidores

    The semantics of transdisciplinary concepts of socio-natural co-evolution: a constructive utopia, social verification and evolutionary risk

    Get PDF
    The utopian character of modern scientific theories, with the human nature as a subject, is an inevitable consequence of the presence of an imperative component of transdisciplinary human dimensional scientific knowledge. Its social function is the adaptation of the descriptive component of the theory to the given socio-cultural type that simplifies the passage of the process of social verification of the theory. The genesis of bioethics can be seen as one of the basic premises for the actualization of the anthropic principle of ontology, which thus acquires the axiological and epistemological sens
