Crime In Urbanization And Real Estate Turnover In Kosovo And Human Rights

The 20th century can be considered as a century where Human Rights began to be recognized as the common values of mankind. This century has witnessed some of the biggest violations of Human Rights. The most highlighted phenomena that violate Human Rights are the various crimes. Specifically, organized crime violates and damages human rights in the political, economic and social spheres. Economic, social and cultural rights are Human Rights which form an integral part of the internationally recognized list of Human Rights. The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, mandatory for all contracting parties, who has established a control system, consisting of submitting reports on the measures they have taken. However, regardless of the legislation regulated in this area, the international conventions adopted by the UN General Assembly to combat criminality, there is no indication that organized crime is decreased. Thus, this scientific and practical research, in this area, contributes in its combat in general and the criminality in urbanism and turnover of real estate, in particular

ANTHROPOMETRICAL CHARACTERISTICS STRUCTURE TO THE 16-YEAR-OLD MALE STUDENTS

The aim of the study is to determine the structure of some anthropometrical characteristics of children aged 16, living in Kosovo. The research was conducted on a sample of 110 male students of high school “Fehmi Lladrovci” in Gllogoc, the Republic of Kosovo. The sample of variable held eighteen anthropometric measures: four variables to estimate the dimensionality of the longitudinal skeleton, four variables to estimate the dimensionality of the transversal skeleton, four variables to estimate the volume of the body, four variables to estimate the skin folds of the body, body weight, and body mass index. The calculation of the data was made by using the SPSS 24 program. All morphological indicators have displayed different parameters that ranged from the lowest to the highest levels. The correlation analysis show that the coefficients of morphological variables are curved and appear as a homogeneous group with a high intercorrelation at the coefficient level of (p =0.01). Factor analysis has shown three latent factors, the first latent factor that has appeared is the anthropometric factor composed of longitudinal dimensionality, transversal dimensionality and body perimeter factors of skeleton. The second latent factor is composed of the skin folds, and the third factor is the anthropometric factor composed of body weight and body mass index.  Article visualizations

Wood quality of Quercus cerris from Kosovo

Doutoramento em Engenharia Florestal e dos Recursos Naturais - Instituto Superior de Agronomia - ULKosovo’s forest products industry is a very important part of Kosovo’s economy and within the present work data was collected through a survey of all sawmills in Kosovo and information gathering from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Rural Development of Kosovo. The forest resources and sawmill structure of Kosovo were analyzed and the availability of different species of wood in different regions of the country established. In parallel, the study of one home grown wood species, Quercus cerris, was conducted in order to improve its use in sawmilling to produce value added wood components. For this purpose, ten Quercus cerris trees, grown in two sites in Kosovo, were felled and discs taken at different stem height levels. Relevant data for this species was obtained on stem quality, including heartwood, sapwood and bark development as well as ring analysis. Chemical and durability characterization was also conducted together with the evaluation of density and Brinell hardness. Quercus cerris from Kosovo showed good potential as a timber species for the supply of stem wood to the saw-milling industry allowing good yields of heartwood-only sawn wood components. Taking into account the good technological properties measured together with the apparent low level of extracts and the low durability class against subterranean termites, interior or protected uses are highly recommended. The bark should also be considered for complementary valorization. Furthermore, based on the worked developed, a curricular programme combining scientific and technological knowledge for industrial management, communication knowledge and creative work was developed in close cooperation with wood processing enterprises in Kosovo, and with the Kosovo Wood Processing Association. Recommendations were also provided for further development of the forest and sawmill industryN/

Money Laundering

"Money laundering" is a widespread phenomenon of organized crime in contemporary society, especially in countries that are in transition. This phenomenon includes various criminal transactions and activities from which such money has been earned. In order to lose track of how initial financial capital was created, they invest different fields, such as: construction, real estate turnover, financial, banking, business, etc. In other words, with depositing and investing these funds in these areas, this money are used as "laundered", reflected as money allegedly earned by lawful activities. In this way, companies are formed which use the "dirty” money as a cover for their business activities

Psychological Factors Influencing Adjustment to Retirement

The quality of aging or life after retirement is determined by levels of psychological well-being and life satisfaction. The levels of psychological well-being and quality of life satisfaction can be influenced by multiple factors including personality, perception of individuals about aging and the quality of respect they get from others. This study was conducted with 170 elderly individuals ranging from 65 to 85 years of age. The results showed significant relationships between dependent variables such as psychological well-being and life satisfaction, and the independent factors including personality, perception of aging and respect from others. Key words: Aging, Life satisfaction, Psychological Well-Being, Perception, Personality and Respect

Interaction of nanofibers with epithelial cells in the digestive system

In this study, we provide the evidence of interaction of tungsten nanofibres (NF- WOx) with epithelial cells in the digestive tube of a test organism, woodlouse Porcellio Scaber studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). When the nanofibers enter the body through food, not all of them pass through the digestive system, without an interaction with the epithelial cells. The result has provided us that in some areas nanofibers can react with epithelial cells on the digestive tube very fast. The images which were taken in the treated samples through scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy analysis clearly show such a phenomenon has occurred. Our results are consistent with the findings of many studies that have been made by many authors to show the risk of using nanofibers in the food industry but also more widely. We provided the evidence how the nanofibers can cause strong injuries on the epithelial cells in the digestive tube when they arrive with the food. We can therefore conclude that nanofibers can embed epithelial cells in the digestive tube, pierce the cell membrane and enter into the cells during the contraction period of peristalsis in the digestive system and therefore the use of them in the food industry, textile industry and many more should be strictly minimized

Heritability of Waterlogging Tolerance in Wheat.

Waterlogging stress is one of the factors depressing wheat yield. Study of heritability for yield and yield components under waterlogging is important in determining the influence of genetic factors accounting for waterlogging tolerance as compared to environmental stress. The objectives of this study were: (1) to study the effect of waterlogging on yield and yield components of soft red winter wheat; (2) to estimate losses from waterlogging; (3) to estimate heritability of waterlogging tolerance in early generations of wheat for yield and yield components, and (4) to provide selection criteria for waterlogging tolerance in wheat breeding. Linear reduction in yield and yield components was observed as a result of 0, 10, 20, and 30 days of waterlogging treatments. Average yield losses from waterlogging, evaluated in a field experiment were 44%. This reduction was mainly due to a decrease in tiller number and kernels/head. Screening of wheat genotypes identified the potential for waterlogging tolerance in breeding material. Genotypes Terral LA 422, Shelby, and Pioneer 26R61 were the most waterlogging tolerant. Some of the high yielding genotypes under control conditions, such as Coker 9663 and FFR 502W, had low tolerance due to a large interaction with waterlogging. Restricted maximum likelihood (REML) estimation of additive and dominance variance components were obtained from 80 related F2 families. Compared to the traditional quantitative genetic designs, this method provides estimates of genetic variance components without any restriction in mating design. Narrow sense heritabilities estimated on per plot basis were high for kernel weight and chlorophyll content. Early generation selection for waterlogging tolerance for yield would not be efficient. Heritability of yield was low and its standard error was high. Strong genetic correlations were observed between yield and kernel weight, and yield with tiller number. Selection indices were constructed to make use of a strong genetic correlation of yield with some yield components with high values of heritability. A maximal improvement of 17% is expected in yield, as a result of selection based on yield-kernel weight-tiller number index. At least three cycles of selection would be needed to produce waterlogging tolerant populations by applying selection indices

Illustration of the voltage stability by using the slope of the tangent vector component

This Paper is dedicated to the analysis of the evolution of the tangent vector during the Continuous Power Flow (CPF) iterations. The flow of the tangent slope (measured in degrees) is shown through the coefficient of lambda tangent vector component and the maximum voltage tangent vector component. A 17 Node Network was used for the purposes of this Paper. The system was modelled in MATLAB software. The admittance matrix of the node voltage equations was formulated and the functions in MATLAB were developed for the systematic formation of the node admittance matrix. Equations for the calculated network were generated in MATLAB. 32 Iterations were performed. Iterations and corrections of iterations were done manually. Firstly, the results for the tangent vectors calculated through the CPF program were compared to the results for the tangents directly calculated with mathematical formula for the tangent, and both results match. The chart, which contains the classical PV curve and the flow of tangent vectors during the CPF iterations, was developed based on the results obtained. The increase in the slope of the tangent in the PV diagram imposes a clear numerical stability limit by specifying an angle limit value, which can be used to trigger an alarm. In addition to the classic Power-Voltage (PV) curve, this serves as an additional indicator for ensuring voltage stability of the examined system
