Authors: Sudiani Ni Nyoman
Published: July 2017

Various media reported about poor child's behavior lately. Some violence committed by children to their own friends, lack of respect to parents and teachers, shows child’s bad character. It inspires the writer to dig back cultures that was used as a media of character building for children by their parents long ago. Bali communities has a variety of culture that can be used as a media of character education, such as storytelling culture for children, the story is believed to contain values of character education for children from an early age. The purpose of this paper is to explore values of characters that can be transferred through story of Pedanda Baka and how this story can be used as media of character education to children at an early age. This article is a review of the literature. After assessment, we found that character that can be educated through Pedanda Baka story is religious character. Character education through Pedanda Baka story was done by telling story to children by parents at home and by teachers at school because cognitive development of early childhood is a symbolic behavior, and the story is symbolic. Stories help abstract and intangible concept becomes concrete and tangible. Story can be used as a media of character education since early childhood, because it helps children imitate religious character in the story.
“Por los que quieren un gobierno de avanzada popular”: Nuevas prácticas políticas en la campaña presidencial de la Democracia Cristiana, Chile, 1962–1964
Authors: Labarca José Tomás
Published: July 2017

El artículo analiza la elección presidencial de 1964 en Chile. Dicha elección fue protagonizada por dos candidaturas reformistas, encabezadas por Eduardo Frei Montalva, representante de la Democracia Cristiana, y por Salvador Allende, representante de la coalición de partidos de izquierda Frente de Acción Popular. Mediante la documentación de diferentes instancias de elaboración programática participativa y un análisis de la estrategia electoral en su conjunto, el artículo propone la necesidad de complejizar la comprensión que se ha tenido hasta el momento de una elección fundamental para el desarrollo político chileno. Dado que la mitad de los votantes participaba por primera vez de comicios presidenciales, no puede comprenderse el triunfo de Frei Montalva y la magnitud de la votación que alcanzó solamente por la campaña del terror y el apoyo de las cúpulas partidarias de la derecha. La campaña presidencial de la Democracia Cristiana se caracterizó por la introducción de nuevas prácticas políticas, cuyo efecto en el escenario social y político chileno va incluso más allá de la propia elección.

At the Postnational Table: Food, Fantasy, and Fetishism inTastes Like Cubaby Eduardo Machado
Authors: Pascual Soler Nieves
Published: July 2017

This article explores the transition from nationalism to postnationalism through food inTastes Like Cuba: An Exile’s Hunger for Home(2007), by playwright Eduardo Machado. The framework used is Sigmund Freud’s narrative of the Oedipus complex. I suggest that the exilic condition of Oedipus and his rebellious behavior make the Oedipal narrative a useful tool for approaching the postnational rejection of the oppressive nature of the nation. I replace the phallus as the source of pleasure with food, and argue that the memories that ensure the continuity of the nation are largely alimentary. A study of what Eduardo Machado eats or refuses to eat to keep recognizing himself as Cuban leads me to explore ways in which the nation shapes subjectivity and the subject informs the postnation, adding to the scholarship on Cuban American literature.
Sujetos intersexuales y matriz heterosexual: Los cuerpos que le importan a la jurisprudencia colombiana; Una lectura queer
Authors: García León Javier Enrique , García León David Leonardo
Published: July 2017

Este artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación que analiza la sentencia T-622/14 de la Corte Constitucional Colombiana en torno a la reasignación de sexo de niños intersexuales. El análisis se centra en el estudio de las voces involucradas y en el examen de las estrategias discursivas utilizadas para construir el concepto de intersexualidad. El estudio —cuyo enfoque metodológico es el análisis crítico del discurso y la teoría queer— permite evidenciar cómo el discurso judicial se apropia de otras instancias discursivas para definir, moldear y construir los cuerpos y las vidas que son dignas de existir en una sociedad heterocentrada. Se concluye que para la Corte Constitucional la autonomía y la capacidad de decisión personal son aspectos fundamentales en los casos en los que los sujetos intersexuales desean modificar quirúrgicamente sus cuerpos; sin embargo, en la sentencia se omiten las relaciones de poder que la matriz heterosexual produce sobre estos sujetos.

Authors: Juhdi Hasni , Hamid Roshayati Abdul , Rizal Adriana Mohd , Juhdi Nurita
Published: July 2017

This study examined the relationship between psychological capital and entrepreneurial success and the roles of entrepreneurial work engagement and entrepreneurial learning intensity as multiple-mediators in influencing the relationship. In addition, the effects of service orientation and market orientation on entrepreneurial factors were also tested. Respondents were the owner-managers of small and medium service enterprises (service SMEs) in Malaysia. Simple random sampling was used, given a sampling frame which contained 502 service SMEs. A questionnaire survey involving 125 entrepreneurs with more than five years of entrepreneurial experience in service businesses provided useful data. The data were analyzed using SPSS and SPSS Macro. The results showed that psychological capital had a positive relationship with entrepreneurial success. In fact, through entrepreneurial work engagement and entrepreneurial learning intensity, the multiple-mediators, the relationship was found to be more comprehensive. Application of bootstrapping procedure in SPSS Macro had found that entrepreneurial work engagement and entrepreneurial learning intensity were simultaneously significant multiple-mediators but entrepreneurial work engagement had higher impact than entrepreneurial learning intensity on the relationship between psychological capital and entrepreneurial success. In conclusion, this study supported the theoretical arguments that entrepreneurial success are strongly associated with internal power and strengths, which this study believed as psychological state resources. However, the relationships between firm orientations such as service and market orientations and entrepreneurial factors require further investigation in future studies.

Citizen Journalism - Challenges for Albanian Media
Authors: Çela Erlis
Published: July 2017

Citizen journalism, participatory journalism or user generated content journalism are the terms we use about a phenomenon that emerged through the years with the evolution of internet and technology and it came through different forms such as social media, bloggers, wikis. It implies the involvement of citizens in news collection, production, sharing, analyzing, discussing and commenting by using different platforms. The definition commonly accepted is that citizen journalism refers to news produced by amateurs, random people willing to share different information for different situations. Whether some sees these terms used to describe this phenomenon ambiguous others do not prefer to call it journalism and describe these people more as seasonal or circumstantial news gathers. However, this type of journalism is changing the mainstream media, the conception of news production and consumption even though opinions in about the impact it has on mainstream media are contradict. Observations has shown that revenues and audience for printed newspapers and advertisements have declined through the years forcing many newspapers to close their activity and making very difficult for others to survive. Answering these questions is extremely difficult but what we can say is that citizen journalism and professional journalism do differ in somehow and professionals like to draw a line between two types of journalism. Citizen journalism has both its negative and positive aspects and different scholars and professionals have different opinions regarding it.
An Overview on Different Legal Systems and the Reflection in Kosovo
Authors: Mehmeti Samedin
Published: July 2017

The state apparatus represents one of the fundamental elements of the development of contemporary society. While the right and law represents a basic understanding of the existence of the state power that performs in order to preserve a balance between the action which is accepted by society and other behaviors that by law are prohibited. The state actions principally are based on the rule of law, namely the legal system accepted or elected by people. Studying different legal systems, it shows that there are similarities more than the differences between them. Despite very different legal cultures, processing methods and institutions, different legal systems exhibit convergence in the treatment of different legal issues. As a result of these processes, many of the differences between common law and civil law now look more like nuances rather than as major differences. The differences are mostly pronounced in the styles of using legal argument, methodology, content and legal norms etc. Various legal systems, using different tools, aimed at the same purpose, and similar results are often taken from different justifications. Often it happens in practice that, despite the use of diverse tools and methods, they arrive at the same solutions or similar ones and it certainly that should not be surprising. So it can rightly be concluded that despite many changes, legal systems aim at achieving the same objective. While generally the target of the state is always and in any system the implementation of norms and rules set in advance, what the contemporary world tends to be considered as respect for the rule of law. In general, the objective of the state authorities in every system is the implementation of the norms and rules set in advance, that concept in the contemporary world tends to be considered as respect for the rule of law. Since Kosovo was part of the former Yugoslav federation and practically until the end of the war of 1999, in the absence of state sovereignty and subjectivity, people of Kosovo were not in a position to choose, like other sovereign nations which legal system will be applied on their lives. Without the will of the citizens, in Kosovo was applied a type of Continental legal system, with certain specific elements that were mostly common in other countries of former Eastern European Communist bloc. In the first years after liberation, until new legislation was passed through the legislative system, it was continued with the older system, through some minor changes. While at a later stage after the adoption of the new legislation, was introduced a large scale reform to the exciting system through the application of the combination of elements of Anglo-Saxon system, this reform which is to this day is in process as well.
Chosen Model of Privatization of Socially Owned Enterprise in Kosovo Over Kosovo Trust Agency
Authors: Fejzullahu Bajram
Published: July 2017

Unlike in the countries of Central and South-East Europe, where the transformation of property and political transition were smooth and peaceful, in the countries of former Yugoslavia (except Montenegro and Macedonia) these processes were accompanied by war; the effects are present even nowadays. After 1999, it was Kosovo’s turn to be part of these changes. Normally, in these processes, the political transition occurs prior to the transformation of property. This was not the case in Kosovo, where the order was reversed. It cannot be said that the privatisation method chosen by UNMIK was not the best. As of now, this method has failed to fulfil its duties of economic recovery and solve the unemployment problem. UNMIK has chosen the method of transforming the social property of Kosovo as a set up for the total transition of the political system, which later on would be one of the main elements and will serve to proclaim independence of Republic of Kosovo. It will remain an unanswered question whether the method that used is actually better, whether it is more productive economically, or not. As Kosovo’s case for many things is sui generis, and as far as the process of privatisation of the social property is concerned, it is a process which tried to adjust to the existing circumstances in Kosovo, circumstances which were earlier unknown in the other countries.

In recent years, online customer reviews have been widespread and it has been taken into account in the point of the decision by the people. Resources which create a virtual environment interaction are developing with the user reviews and ratings and it is increasingly gaining importance for both customers and tourism businesses. Customers, who are evaluating food and beverage consumption as an experience and looking at truelife experiences when deciding which experience to lives, are more increasingly using online resources serving sector. These platforms provide the customers the opportunity of dialoguing among them and provide information while they provide feedback for the improvements for the service providers they need to do. Because of these properties, researchers argue online customer reviews and they express that services restaurant could offer and the quality of them could be compared better by using customer feedback. However, customer review system has been criticized. The point critics pointed is the difficulty of verification reviews and deficiencies in impartiality point. An integrated approach is proposed in this study. Online customer judgments assessing the food and beverage business and expert opinions underlie the integrated approach. For this purpose, the data obtained from TripAdvisor website and expert reviews will be integrated with Analytical Hierarch Process (AHP) method. In the study, restaurants which take place in Turkey’s biggest tourist areas in four provinces and locating in the top 10 according to customer rewievs on TripAdvisor website are evaluated. Then, arithmetical average of the aggregated customer ratings relating to these restaurants and the integration of assessment of experts providing training in food and beverage area are ensured. Consequently, these four provinces’ rank is determined by an integrated approach in terms of restaurants.
Miskawayh’s Apologia for Greek Philosophy
Authors: Omar Mohd Nasir
Published: July 2017

In the East, Greek philosophy was studied as early as the fourth century, not however, by the Muslims but by the Arab Syrian Christians. It was Syrian Christians who brought wine, silk and other precious items to the West, but it was the Syrians also who cultivated Greek sciences for many centuries before they eventually transmitted them to the Muslim philosophers, especially in the tenth and eleventh century Baghdad. Miskawayh (d.1030), a great Muslim moralist, was among the philosophers who flourished in Baghdad at such times. He was well educated in Islamic studies as well as in philosophy, especially Greek philosophy. The many quotations from Greek sources which are found in Miskawayh’s works, especially in his major work on ethics, Tahdhib al-Akhlaq (The Refinement of Character), provide important evidence for this study to argue that they also have contributed to the formation of his moral philosophy. This paper thus, seeks to investigate Miskawayh’s own attraction to Greek ideas, which eventually led him towards the acceptance of Greek thought and also towards the need for an apologetic on behalf of philosophical study and on the relations between philosophy and the divine revelation.
Collective Identity, Anglo-Saxon Bond and the Persistence of the Anglo-American Special Relationship
Authors: Xu Ruike
Published: July 2017

There have been many “end of affair” comments on the Anglo-American special relationship (AASR) in the post-Cold War era. Notwithstanding this, the AASR has managed to persist without losing its vitality up to the present. This article seeks to explain the persistence of the AASR from the perspective of collective identity. It argues that a strong Anglo-American collective identity has been an indispensable positive contributor to the persistence of the AASR after the end of the Cold War. The strong Anglo-American collective identity facilitates Anglo-American common threat perceptions, solidifies embedded trust between the UK and the USA, and prescribes norms of appropriate behaviour for these two countries.
New Perspectives on Contractual Law in the Context of Real Contracts in the Systems of International Contemporary (Roman) Law
Authors: Selmani Bashkim
Published: July 2017

This scientific paper aims at exploring and establishing whether national legal gaps or possible issues within the differences in the international contractual law of the European Union’s member countries and non-EU member countries can result in possible difficulties. In case there are legal problems and difficulties or practical concerns in this field, should the functioning of the internal trade and legal function through its interpretation hinder the process between the contracting parties in the event of entering a contract of international and interstate character within the law of obligations, and in cases of entering a contract, during its interpretation, while determining the rights and obligations or during other legal issues which have to do with the implementation of international private law and European international private law. Viewed from this angle, we need to consider the national and international private contractual law in the aspect of harmonization of the contractual law which may result in inconsistencies on a European level and broader. This would present an obstacle which restricts the fundamental legal-private rights of citizens as an advantage of individuals. They consist of three parts: personal relations between citizens, property relations between persons entitled as property trustees, as well as the procedural law which regulates the protection of subjective rights of personal and ownership nature. In practice, these face more difficulties in the private international law and European private international law, for example in: rules on property, ownership, real rights on other people’s belongings, liabilities and heritage in international character and elements.

Authors: Jata Enkeleda
Published: July 2017

Of all the changes that have affected language teaching theory and method in recent years, the greatest may be the transformation in the role of culture. This change reflects a broader transformation in the way that culture itself is understood. Culture is listed nowadays the fifth element of learning the foreign language. However, the perception of the professors to include culture as part of their teaching is still vain. This article involves ten English professors to understand their opinions regarding culture, and why they cannot develop intercultural competence during their classes. How culture is served in the classrooms depends from the professors opinions. This research was conducted based on the need to investigate culture teaching in English language in Albania. The data collected show that all the professors perform their lessons based on a curriculum which is limited regarding the culture aspects.

Pedagogical Explanation Methods of Teaching Matrix Programming Operations: Effects on Students’ Achievements in IPCs
Authors: Skuka Arjan
Published: July 2017

Despite the fact that introductory programming courses (IPCs) are taught at universities for more than thirty years, students still find computer programming very difficult to learn. Programming pedagogy deals with the methods and principles of teaching and learning computer programming. The programming pedagogical approaches that have been proposed to increase the efficiency of teaching and learning computer programming mostly focus on the tools, paradigms, programming languages and environments used in IPCs. To increase significantly the students’ success rates in IPCs, these approaches should be complemented with pedagogical explanation (PE) methods. This research is focused on a PE method of teaching sequential search of a matrix row (SSMR). The research was designed as experimental study with pretest-posttest control group model, involving students of Computer Engineering department Izmir University. While the experimental group was subjected to a pedagogical explanation method, a traditional explanation method was applied in the control group. To collect the research data, an achievement pretest, posttest and a questionnaire were developed and applied. The research findings showed the effectiveness of teaching SSMR by using a PE method. This method positively influenced students’ level of topic comprehension, which consequently improved their achievements. In order for students to understand better the other matrix programming operations, similar PE methods should be developed and used in IPCs. On a more general level, the results of this research suggested that PE methods should be developed and used for other topics that students usually find difficult to understand in IPCs. Using these methods can be a very important factor in significantly increasing students’ success in IPCs.

Notes About the Commemoration of the Powerful Menin the Medieval Art in Macedonia
Authors: Snežana Filipova
Published: July 2017

Rulers’ portraits as symbols of the institution of monarchy were used on coins, legal acts and seals, as a guarantee of authenticity and legal effectiveness. They are usually the highest category of propaganda images. Each civilization has the praxis of representing to a certain extent real or “beatified” image or portrait of the emperor. By adding various symbols of power, like crowns, caps, beard, throne, supendium, chariot, and number of the animals driving it, we are directly observing the image of the most powerful representatives of people, nations, states, empires, era, usually blessed by or alike god(s). Roman emperors preferred to be represented in sculpture, and the copy of the ruling emperor was placed in every city of the Empire. It was roman art and sculpture where actually the portrait was invented in the 2nd century B.C. Sometimes Emperor’s portrait in Byzantium had the status of replacing the real presence of the sovereign. The early portraits of byzantine emperors in monumental art are preserved in St. Vitale in Ravena, where the emperor Justinian I and his wife with ecclesiastical and court dignitaries attend the liturgy.[2], from 1034–1042; the portrait of John II Komnenos and the empress Irene from the beginning of the 12th C.[4] Negr?u says in churches, the images of the rulers expressed the relation of monarchs with God, who gave them the power of monarchy in exchange to undertake the defense of Christian law. The images are addressed to the masses with the purpose to present monarchs as generous donors, as well as ubiquitous authorities.”[6]
Security Implications of Forced Migration and the Refugee Flows
Authors: Xheladini Fatmir
Published: July 2017

This article analyzes the current migration and refugee flows and the security implications that it poses to the receiving as well as the transit countries. Recent public debates, underline the importance and concerns of the ever wider character of the mixed mass flow phenomena, followed by its implications in the humanitarian, economic, financial, social, political and security domain. It does so, by highlighting the concept of a broadened comprehensive security through the lens of the Copenhagen School. The broadened concept of comprehensive security provided by the aforementioned school, offers the most inclusive approach in analyzing the linkage between the migration and security nexus. The purpose of the paper is to present the point of interaction between the established rules of the receiving nations and the anarchic situation that migration and forced refugee flows may spur. The recent refugee flows into Europe brings to attention this very complex discourse, as it generates public debates which in turn call for extra ordinary institutional measures, namely by securitizing migration. The securitization of migration has significant implications for the analysis and the construction of national security policies at local and regional level.
NATO in Balkan’s Late Twenties Tide

Published: July 2017

NATO did not intervene in the Balkans to overcome Yugoslavia, or destroy it, but above all to avoid violence and to end discrimination. (Shimon Peres, the former Israeli foreign minister, winner of Nobel Prize for peace) NATO’s intervention in the Balkans is the most historic case of the alliance since its establishment. After the Cold War or the "Fall of the Iron Curtain" NATO somehow lost the sense of existing since its founding reason no longer existed. The events of the late twenties in the Balkans, strongly brought back the alliance proving the great need for its existence and defining dimensions and new concepts of security and safety for the alliance in those tangled international relations.
Remarks on Immanuel Kant`s Theory on European Project
Authors: Vampa Magdalini
Published: July 2017

Nowadays dynamic and dramatic development of the European Union Countries (refugee’s crises), is bringing into focus the role of the Union as a peace project. Hence, this project is not only subject of history books, but it is important as an active neighborhood policy, and an effort for stability beyond its borders. The aim of this paper is to estimate the projection of Immanuel Kant "perpetual peace theory" in the functioning of the European Union, in the context of ongoing development and its expansion. Kant's peace treaty is not “entering” to the condition of perpetual peace, but it takes in consideration the necessary steps to reach this goal. This paper analyses this treaty as a political peace guide, oriented by the theory of liberal democracy, elaborated on the works of Michael Doyle: “Liberalism and world Politics” (1986), etc. The analyses focuses on three final articles of Kant, which are presented in his philosophical treaty and are projected to the philosophy of the creation and development of the European Union, as a union of peace. This projection is not only part of institutions and international constitution, but also of the will of citizens of these liberal democratic states which are vital conditions for a Europe of Peace.

Authors: Zani Orges
Published: July 2017

This paper will analyze the loss of legitimacy of Mjaft Movement and G99 Party when they were directed by Erion Veliaj. Based on the post- structuralist model of philosophy of language, main points that constituted the movement, discourses and different public protests, data taken by an interview of Mr. Veliaj regarding the creation of G99 as a political party, this paper aims to assess their instability. Created as a non-political movement that would identify and solve problems, MJAFT was focused more in conducting awareness campaigns and organizing symbolic protests, than in taking concrete actions on these concerns. Even its main campaign “Nano Leave” ended up in a meeting with the Prime Minister Fatos Nano and none of the 8 points of their decalogue was not mentioned during the meeting. All these premises, followed by the resignation of the leaders of the movement to create G99 Party, planted in the audience the idea that they were looking for a new strategy to make the movement more powerful, an attempt that ended up to be unsuccessful because G99 became part of the Socialist Party. As a consequence, we can say that the use of the movement for personal goals dims the protests and disappoint people who believed they could be organized together for solving their problems.

The ongoing Nagorno Karabakh conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan results from two principles of international law: the main sides of conflict, Armenia and Azerbaijan, defending their position claim the self determination right of people and territorial integrity with inviolability of state borders. The main obstacle on the ongoing “no war, no peace” condition of negotiation process is that mutual agreed statement on these principles is not possible. [1, 33] Firstly, in order to look the legal aspects of Nagorno Karabakh conflict, there is a need to analyze the political and legal processes that created the problem around Nagorno Karabakh’s legal status. Therefore the ADR period (May 1918- April 1920) is important: because those years involve the beginning of the contemporary ethnic conflict and the formation of the current legal-political position of conflict sides. On other words, analyzing the process of legal status of NK conflict during the ADR period from the frame of sides’ claims and arguments is very important on the research of the legal aspects of Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
