AMENDMENTS TO THE LAW ON FINANCIAL COMPANIES IN THE SPIRIT OF PROTECTING CITIZENS’ INTERESTS
Authors: SHABANI Faton
Published: October 2024

Nonbank financial companies, also known as financial companies, are financial institutions that offer various financial services, such as: approving loans to individuals and legal entities, issuing and administering credit cards, factoring and issuing guarantees, as well as advising on various financial and leasing activities. Unlike banks, for the establishment of a financial company, a simpler procedure is foreseen, even a license from the National Bank is not required, but only permission from the Ministry of Finance. The establishment, operation and supervision of financial companies in the country is governed by the Law on Financial Companies. As institutions that are in their infancy in the country and given the still insignificant impact on the financial sector, it is expected that the legislator will often make changes and additions to the legal regulations for financial companies. The purpose of these changes in the legislation of financial companies is to provide an operating environment for them between the protection of the users of services from financial companies and the increase of reliability towards these companies. In this paper, the author, in addition to analyzing the legislative platform and the recent changes in this platform, but through the statistical method provides an overview of the activity of financial companies in the Republic of North Macedonia.
WHITE COLLAR CRIME AS ORGANIZED INSTITUTIONAL CRIME
Authors: KELMENDI Magbule
Published: October 2024

The object of treatment in this paper is the problem of detection and treatment of corruption. There is no single definition for corruption and in this case it is limited to the corruption practices of white-collar crime, being a link to institutional organized crime, with confirmation of the suspicion of crime in the Prosecutor's Office - especially that of serious crimes which is the main pillar of the state in this right to enforce the law and fight the phenomenon, as well as the state courts. Its meaning is broad and cannot be defined only by accepting or giving a bribe to an official or buying it, as is often practiced. Corruption is often carried out by a highly organized group of people, which gives us elements of institutional organized crime. Since corruption, especially political corruption, is carried out by highly qualified and professional persons, this greatly complicates the operation of the law, detection, investigation, prosecution and judgment of authoritative persons, decision-makers, due to the great powers to hide the traces of corruption and especially the crime of money laundering, being a serious consequence and with great material and moral damage for the citizens of a state. Due to the problems leading to the discovery and proof of this crime and due to the way it is committed, the secret nature, corruption is part of the crimes where the rate of proof is extremely low or even definitely impossible. The work is mainly elaborated on the problems encountered not only by the agencies, the bodies that have a mandate to prevent and fight this negative phenomenon in our society, but also the media and especially the citizens who are involved in harm from authoritative persons and state institutions. A major problem where the citizen there is no address for orientation and when the organized Institutional group usurps the State Institutions and in some form is created as a Mafia group.
THE WAR IN UKRAINE AND ITS EXPANSION IN THE BALKANS: GLOBAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR DIPLOMATIC SOLUTIONS
Authors: HALIMI Jeton , KURSHUMLIU Rajmonda
Published: October 2024

This paper aims to document the actuality of the war between Ukraine and Russia, as well as its global impact. The current event of war/conflict with immediate effect in our region and more widely imposes the evidence of the economic circumstances as well as efforts for solutions! The war in Ukraine is causing a major humanitarian crisis. Ukraine's economy is collapsing and undoubtedly the range of economic consequences will affect the globe given the economic complexity. The trauma suffered by the population will have long-term consequences. The above is the overture and this paper, based on the bibliography and references provided, aims to provide an overview of the chronology of the events surrounding the conflict, the history of the conflict, the consequences and impact of the crisis/war, of an economic, developmental nature, the response of international factors, as well as a perspective on the possibilities for a diplomatic solution. The researched topic explains and provides data about the global implications and impacts, reflects on the economic effects, the effects to the food crisis and argues that carefully calibrated policies and diplomatic channels will be decisive in the unforeseen solution. Ominously, due to the pressure of higher prices for food and other essentials, governments may be tempted to implement price control and subsidy policies, but these may prove counterproductive in the global economy. However, the last chapter underlines that what should not be neglected is the possibility of a diplomatic solution and that it should be based on the mutual acceptance of the parties to give hope for long-term peace. We are limited about predictions, where it will end and what the situation will look like in the medium term, though, this should not stop us from the possibility of recording and evidence that will serve as a comparison for the future, and about the situation and global connections, in the world we live today. The world has changed, and it is a fact that crises wherever they are, bring obstacles in communication and connections of a socio-economic nature, in other parts of the globe.

Authors: BAJRAMI Hatixhe , M. FAZLIA Drita
Published: October 2024

After declaring independence in January 1991, North Macedonia decided that its future would be in the family of democratic peoples of Europe. North Macedonia has clearly expressed its priority for membership in the European Union as one of its strategic and vital interests. With the realization of this determination, the Republic of North Macedonia was legitimized as a reliable partner and ally of the European Union, but it still went through a series of different stages in the development of relations, rapprochement, and integration in the EU. We all know that reforms are required within the states that seek and want to be members of the European Union. There are several important steps through which the state of North Macedonia, a candidate country, has shown its goodwill in the long path of integration and contribution. The key points and changes necessary to achieve the goal of being part of the European Union that have been realized so far are the following: the Prespa Agreement between North Macedonia and Greece, the Treaty of Friendship, Good Neighborliness, and the Union of Cooperation, between Macedonia North and Bulgaria. This paper analyzes North Macedonia's approach to the European Union, the transition, its difficulties and challenges on this path, and the Constitution's changes. In the end, conclusions and suggestions are given to make North Macedonia's path towards the European Union a little easier.

Clinique Vestimentaire

Published: October 2024

Today, the two techniques for designing and making clothes are generally opposed to each other: made-to-measure and ready-to-wear. While the latter imposes a size category and requires the individual to adapt, the former is adapted to the person. The research involved in Jeanne Vicerial's Clinique vestimentaire merges the two approaches, converging to form new systems for the design and making of clothes, creating a new paradigm: “ready-to-measure.” This model combines the speed of ready-to-wear with the unique, specific nature of made-to-measure, in which the clothing-object is connected to the body of the person who wears it.

This system of designing and making clothes is based on a new approach to composing thread, partly “bio-inspired”: tricotissage, or “knitting-weaving,” between knitting—a single thread—and weaving, which enables the creation of a textile, assembled in a similar way to human muscular tissue.

In collaboration with the mechatronics department at MINES ParisTech - PSL, led by Yvon Gaignebet, the Clinique vestimentaire research project has developed a prototype knitting-weaving machine. A tool for creation and production, the unit is a computer-driven mechanical system for knitting-weaving made-to measure clothing at a semi-industrial scale with no waste.

Dialogue begins with the first encounter with the customer for taking measurements, through verbal communication (consciously expressed desires and sensations) but also non-verbal communication (postures and behavior). Measures that take into account not only anatomical considerations but also anthropological, physiological, and psycho-sociological elements. The production of the garment by the knitting-weaving table is then done according to the body's dimensions translated and interpreted digitally and electronically. During the production process, manual interactions remain possible for adjustments; the machine is also a tool and leaves room for interventions, reviving the classic interactions of the craft. A digital craft with the ultimate goal of designing a custom garment, without remnants, with a know-how focused on the precision of the "cut" and assembly, and delivering personalized clothing with and for the customer.

More recently, Sculptures vestimentaires continues this research, aiming to give women their place and voice with regards to fashion, norms, and sizing. More recently, Quarantaine is a formal and visual response to the health crisis, at a time when closing and distancing are the order of the day. A work is being created every day for 40 days using the only body available—the confined body of its author.

Hoy en día, las dos técnicas predominantes para diseñar y confeccionar ropa suelen ser opuestas: la confección a medida y el prêt-à-porter. Mientras que la segunda impone una categoría de tamaño y exige que el individuo se ajuste a ella, la primera se adapta a la persona. La investigación realizada en la Clinique vestimentaire de Jeanne Vicerial fusiona los dos enfoques para crear nuevos sistemas de diseño y confección de ropa, creando un nuevo paradigma: el prêt-à-mesurer (o «listo para medir»). Se trata de un modelo que combina la rapidez del prêt-à- porter con el carácter único y específico de la confección a medida, en la que la prenda encaja con el cuerpo de la persona que la lleva.

Este sistema de diseño y confección de prendas se basa en un nuevo enfoque de la composición del hilo, en parte «bioinspirado»: el tricotissage, o «tricotar-tejer», a caballo entre el tricotar -un solo hilo- y el tejer, que permite crear un tejido, ensamblado de forma similar al tejido muscular humano.

En colaboración con el departamento de mecatrónica de MINES ParisTech - PSL, dirigido por Yvon Gaignebet, el proyecto de investigación Clinique vestimentaire ha desarrollado un prototipo de máquina de tejer. Esta herramienta de creación y producción funciona como un sistema mecánico controlado por ordenador que permite tejer prendas a medida, a escala semiindustrial y sin material sobrante. El diálogo empieza con el primer encuentro con el cliente para tomar medidas, a través de la comunicación verbal (deseos y sensaciones expresados conscientemente), pero también de la comunicación no verbal (posturas y comportamiento). Las medidas tienen en cuenta no solo consideraciones anatómicas, sino también elementos antropológicos, fisiológicos y psicosociológicos. La confección de la prenda por parte de la máquina de tricotar-tejer se realiza entonces según las dimensiones del cuerpo traducidas e interpretadas digital y electrónicamente. Durante el proceso de confección se pueden realizar ajustes a través de interacciones manuales. La máquina también es una herramienta y deja espacio para las intervenciones, reviviendo las interacciones tradicionales del oficio. Un oficio digital con el objetivo final de diseñar una prenda a medida, sin retales, con un saber hacer centrado en la precisión del «corte» y el ensamblaje, y la entrega de prendas personalizadas con y para el cliente. Más recientemente, Sculptures vestimentaires ha continuado esta investigación, con el objetivo de dar a las mujeres voz y lugar en la moda, las normas y el tallaje. Además, Quarantaine vestimentaire ha ofrecido una respuesta formal y visual a la crisis sanitaria, en un momento en que el aislamiento y el distanciamiento están a la orden del día. Se ha creado una obra cada día durante cuarenta días utilizando el único cuerpo disponible: el cuerpo conﬁnado de su autora.

Published: October 2024

This research focuses on the development of a prototype virtual assistant system integrated with artificial intelligence (AI) using the Rational Unified Process (RUP) method. The system is designed to improve user flexibility and efficiency by allowing interaction through voice commands, removing the need for traditional input devices. Python was selected as the primary programming language due to its robust capabilities in handling AI-driven applications. The system utilizes Whisper API for speech recognition, enabling the virtual assistant to accurately interpret voice inputs. Additionally, the integration of Chat GPT API allows the assistant to process and generate responses in a natural, context-aware manner. The combination of these technologies is expected to enhance user experience by making the system more intuitive and seamless, applicable to both daily tasks and complex business environments. The RUP method, structured into phases such as inception, elaboration, construction, and transition, was applied to ensure that the development process was iterative, flexible, and aligned with user needs. The results indicate that the integration of Whisper API with Chat GPT API significantly improves the quality and accuracy of voice-based interaction, streamlining system operation while minimizing the need for complex graphical interfaces. This research demonstrates the potential of voice-driven AI systems in increasing overall operational efficiency.
CLASSIFICATION OF FIGURES IN SCHOOL GEOMETRY
Authors:   Osh State University, Borboeva G.
Published: October 2024

This work proposes a classification of geometric figures studied in a systematic course in school geometry. Classification of geometric shapes is said to be an important aspect of teaching geometry to enable students to understand and analyze different shapes; identify similarities and differences between figures; recognize common features and differences between figures belonging to the same class or type; systematize and organize knowledge; reveal patterns and relationships between figures with similar properties, which provides the basis for subsequent discoveries; derive new properties and theorems; solve spatial geometric problems. New areas of spatial perception (virtual space, multidimensional space, digital technologies, including cloud, etc.), technologies and industries are increasingly emerging. In such changes, the relevance of the science of geometry does not disappear, but rather increases. This is due to the fact that geometric knowledge and geometric thinking give a person the basis for solving various problems in theoretical (geometric) and practical (physical) spaces. However, despite this, geometry is considered a difficult subject to perceive and understand.
THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF JUDO FOR CHILDREN WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER AND ADHD
Authors: Freitas Raphael Fellipe Figueiredo de
Published: October 2024

Judo has emerged as a transformative sport for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), offering a range of physical, emotional, social, and cognitive benefits. Its structured environment, characterized by clear rules and defined movements, provides a safe space conducive to the development of these children. Physically, judo enhances motor coordination, muscle strength, and balance, which are often challenging for children with ASD and ADHD. The sport's techniques require concentration and motor control, skills that can be applied in academic and everyday contexts. Additionally, judo serves as a controlled outlet for the hyperactivity often associated with ADHD, fostering a productive energy release. Emotionally, judo builds self-esteem and confidence. For children with ASD, who may struggle with communication and social interactions, judo offers a nurturing environment that allows them to progress at their own pace. The sense of achievement from belt promotions reinforces their competence. Furthermore, judo instills essential values such as mutual respect and cooperation, crucial for developing social skills. Children with ASD benefit from structured interactions, enhancing their ability to interpret social cues and build trust, while children with ADHD learn impulse control and emotional regulation through adherence to the sport's rules and rituals. Research supports these findings, with studies indicating improved physical fitness, attention, and social skills among children with ASD participating in adapted judo programs. Overall, judo serves as a powerful tool for the holistic development of children with ASD and ADHD, promoting mental and physical well-being while encouraging social inclusion.
AUDITORIA DE CONFORMIDADE LEGAL AMBIENTAL: PERSPECTIVAS, DESAFIOS E IMPORTÂNCIA
Authors: Manfredini Fábio Navarro , Manfredini Larissa Maria Viegas
Published: October 2024

Environmental legal compliance audits have established themselves as an essential tool in modern environmental management, being increasingly used by companies and organizations that seek to ensure the adequacy of their activities to environmental standards. The audit process involves a systematic assessment of an organization’s processes, products and activities, verifying whether they comply with the legal requirements applicable by current environmental laws, provisions and standards. There are several types of environmental legal compliance auditing. This article seeks to explore in depth the main aspects related to environmental legal compliance audits, addressing their concepts, objectives, application methods, practical challenges and strategic importance in the current context in relation to legal compliance audit processes relevant to the NBR ABNT standard ISO 14.001:2015, Environmental Due Diligence and CONAMA Resolution 306/2002. Despite it is a powerful control tool, environmental legal compliance auditing faces practical challenges, which can compromise its effectiveness if not properly managed. Although the legal assessment of ISO 14001, environmental Due Diligence and the environmental audit of CONAMA Resolution 306 share the common objective of promoting environmental compliance, each has different focuses and is applicable in different contexts. ISO 14001 focuses on continuous and internal management, while environmental Due Diligence is focused on specific transactions and hidden risks. The CONAMA 306 audit offers a broader view of compliance and environmental performance, focusing on large projects and legal inspection. Thus, each approach presents specific advantages and challenges, being complementary in many business situations, especially when it comes to companies that deal with major environmental impacts.

Published: October 2024

La técnica ablación laser (LA) ICP-MS puede emplearse para estudiar la distribución espacial de elementos endógenos y biomoléculas en diferentes tipos de muestras. En el caso de los cultivos celulares, los cuales presentan una gran heterogeneidad, es posible obtener de manera sencilla un análisis cualitativo de los analitos en células individuales. Sin embargo, es necesario aún desarrollar métodos que permitan conocer no solo la distribución de los analitos sino también su concentración (i.e., masa de analito por unidad de volumen).

Tajomstvo úspechu a tragédie Židov: Veľa sa uč, zodpovedne obchoduj a presťahuj sa do mesta
Authors: Chovanculiak Róbert
Published: October 2024

Od staroveku až po novovek sa väčšinové obyvateľstvo pozeralo na Židov s podozrením. Boli často predmetom rôznych konšpirácií a vymyslených sprisahaní, ktoré v prípade zhoršenia ekonomickej a sociálnej situácie vyústili do obviňovania, prenasledovania, vyháňania a až do pogromov alebo holokaustu. Môžu za to predovšetkým dve skutočnosti. Židia skoro dve milénia nemali svoju domovskú krajinu a žili v diaspóre roztrúsení po svete, pričom všade tvorili len „cudziu menšinu“. A zároveň sa tejto menšine nadproporčne ekonomicky a spoločensky darilo. Dosahovala a dosahuje vyššie vzdelanie, príjem aj majetok a pracuje v ziskových odvetviach a vysokokvalifikovaných povolaniach. V tomto texte ukazujem, že tento úspech sa dá vysvetliť štandardnými ekonomickými faktormi: Po prvé, židovská kultúra prikladá vysokú dôležitosť vzdelaniu a investíciám do ľudského kapitálu. Židovský boh vyžaduje od rodičov, aby posielali svoje deti do škôl a Židia boli prvým spoločenstvom, ktoré už pred viac ako 1500 rokmi dosiahlo všeobecnú školskú dochádzku. Židovská menšina tak tvorila ostrovy gramotnosti v negramotnom svete. Po druhé, židovské náboženské inštitúcie umožňujú kooperáciu a obchod, a to aj bez podpory verejných inštitúcií. Vďaka rozsiahlej talmudskej literatúre, rabínskym súdnym dvorom a rôznym náboženským komunitám si dokázali židovskí obchodníci zabezpečiť poskytovanie služieb „práva a poriadku“ (governance) naprieč rôznymi krajinami. Oba tieto faktory vychádzajú z náboženských špecifík židovskej viery. Nie sú teda výsledkom „vedomej konšpirácie“ ľudí, ale skôr „nezamýšľaným následkom“ kultúrnej evolúcie. A zároveň prinášajú Židom vysokú komparatívnu výhodu na trhu – predovšetkým v mestách a pri vysokokvalifikovaných povolaniach. Židovská kultúra v širokom slova zmysle optimálne zapadla do trhovej spoločnosti založenej na kontraktuálnych vzťahoch a intenzívnej deľbe práce. To potvrdzuje výskum, ktorý ukazuje, že prítomnosť Židov v mestách zvyšovala ekonomický rast v nich. A rôzni panovníci pozývali Židov do svojich panstiev s cieľom podporiť obchod a ekonomický rozvoj. Nanešťastie, kvôli slabému chápaniu prínosov trhovej ekonomiky verejnosťou a zlej interpretácie obchodu ako hry s nulovým súčtom, bol relatívny úspech Židov na trhu zároveň aj zdrojom ich tragédie. Cieľom tohto textu je vysvetliť historický zdroj úspechu Židov, ktorým nie sú konšpiračné úskoky a podvody, ale investícia do ľudského kapitálu, rešpektovanie inštitúcií trhového hospodárstva a život v mestských oblastiach. Porozumenie základom ekonómie je preto výborný liek na antisemitizmus. V optimálnom prípade by verejnosť nemala pristupovať k židom s podozrením a zášťou, ale so zvedavosťou a zámerom inšpirovať sa. Výsledkom by bola mierumilovnejšia a bohatšia spoločnosť.
Rate of Arabic language TV start-ups shows no sign of abating
Authors: Heil Jr. Alan L.
Published: October 2024

One expert calls it “an ocean of channels.”[1] Another says it’s “a paradox of plenty.”[2] And yet another laments that “a noisy marketplace makes it increasingly expensive to find, keep and grow a profitable market share.”[3] These are all accurate characterizations of a seemingly accelerating proliferation of Arabic language satellite TV channels in 2007. At last count, 280 of these outlets were vying for the attention of viewers in the Middle East and beyond. And more are on the way. For some years, Arabic has been the language of choice of more international broadcasters in more countries than any other language except English. That was the case for radio even before the rise of television. The principal challenge to TV executives and producers shows no sign of letting up in this sixth year after 9/11. It is: how to make a dent in an already overcrowded market. The latest competitors in the outside world for the eyes of the Arab Middle East include Russia TV Today, reported to be launching a 20-hour-a-day service in May, expanding this to 24/7 by the end of the year. France 24 inaugurated an Arabic television service on April 4 comprising four hours broadcast daily to the Maghreb, Levant and Europe with plans to grow in stages to six, then 12 hours daily. Deutsche Welle TV is expanding its current three hours a day in Arabic TV to eight hours. And BBC Arabic TV is due to go on the air next fall, restoring a service that previously existed between 1994 and 1996.
Voice of America versus Radio Sawa in the Middle East: A Personal Perspective
Authors: Kassman Laurie
Published: October 2024

Comparing Voice Of America (VOA) to Radio Sawa is like comparing apples to oranges. The US government funds both but that is about where the similarity stops. Radio Sawa is an Arabic-language pop music radio that broadcasts exclusively to the Middle East. The Voice of America has a more global reach with many language services sharing the funding. But since VOA English has mostly been silenced in the region and VOA Arabic has lost its voice altogether after Radio Sawa was created in 2002, it is important to show how American public diplomacy broadcasting to the region has changed. This article highlights the key differences in news approach and content between the channels, and argues that by scrapping VOA in the Middle East, the US has both undercut its own public diplomacy interests and the interests of listeners in the region itself.
Al Arabiya Producer Nabil Kassem: Arab media are “living in denial” over Darfur
Authors: Pintak Lawrence
Published: October 2024

Two years on, Nabil Kassem is still profoundly affected by his experiences in Sudan. Back in 2005, the documentary film maker was given the job of producing a $50,000 film for Al Arabiya about the crisis in Darfur. What he witnessed there, and recorded in his film, were scenes of unspeakable brutality and untold suffering, scenes he thought would surely wake up an Arab public all too willing to let Darfur pass by. But such was the indictment his film made on the Sudanese government and Arab Janjaweed militias, the final cut of Jihad on Horseback (Jihad ala Al Jiyad) never made it across the airwaves. In this highly charged interview with Co-Editor and Publisher Lawrence Pintak, Kassem speaks of how with the help of a telephone Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir prevented the broadcast of perhaps the most provocative documentary film ever made by an Arab director. Listen here. Pintak: The documentary has been very controversial. Why is that? What is so controversial about covering Darfur for an Arab media outfit? Kassem: I think it was the testimonies I got in Chad from the refugees. I found a woman holding a baby, she’d been raped. And the baby belonged to one of the Arabic attackers. She told me that this son’s father was from the Janjaweed. I found too many pregnant women who’d been raped from the Janjaweed. Controversial—I don’t think it’s controversial. I think the Arab countries, especially the Sudanese, who are following the government now, they’re not ready to see the truth. What’s going on there—it is the truth. You know why? Because if you are an American, and two million of your people are sent away and thrown in the desert with no food and no water, I think there is a problem.
Do National political systems still influence Arab media?
Authors: Rugh William A.
Published: October 2024

This essay is intended to revisit the thesis I advanced in a study of Arab mass media first published in 1979, and updated in 1987 and 2004, that the most important variable influencing the political role of media channels in the Arab world is the national political system in which they operate. Recent changes in information technology, especially the growth of satellite television, have had an impact on Arab media, making national borders more porous, but I would argue that existing national political systems are still a dominant variable affecting the structure and behavior of Arab media. Just as changes in Arab domestic political circumstances in the past have brought about changes in the media systems that operate within their borders, the domestic political factors that exist today still have a major influence Arab newspapers, radio and even television, which in turn remain the most important means of mass communication.
