COMPETENCY-BASED MEDICAL EDUCATION IN FORENSIC MEDICINE & TOXICOLOGY: A VIEW-POINT ON CURRENT CHALLENGES AND FUTURE ASPECTS.
Authors: Singh Jitender Pratap , Kishore Manjari
Published: January 2024

Acompetency-based approach to medical education that is outcome-based can be summed up as CBME. Competency is the observable behaviour
of an individual when knowledge, skills, attitudes, and communication are used sensibly and consistently (1-2). It is gradual but does not adhere to
every rule. It is context-and person-specic, and various learners pick it up at different speeds. Regarding many competencies, the same learner
experiences similar outcomes. To achieve this, an individual must be assessed longitudinally, continuously, and consistently in order to determine
whether they require additional or alternative learning opportunities in order to acquire the necessary skill (3). The author's goal in writing the
article is to assess CBME, particularly from the standpoint of forensic medicine and toxicology (FMT). The long-pending demand to move FMTto
third year MBBS was satised with the introduction of the new curriculum. Here, we present the current challenges faced in FMT as per the new
guidelines by NMC and also focus on future aspects on how our medical education can be improved following these systematic guidelines, which
will have a positive impact on our medical students.

Nonlinear Analysis of the Synchronous Reference Frame Phase-Locked Loop Under Unbalanced Grid Voltage
Authors: Ponomarev Anton , Hagenmeyer Veit , Gröll Lutz
Published: January 2024

The synchronous reference frame phase-locked loop (SRF-PLL), also called
dqPLL, is an electric circuit commonly used in power electronics to
estimate the phase angle of a three-phase AC grid. If the voltage is
unbalanced, the PLL is modeled as a periodically forced nonlinear
oscillator and is known in practice to converge to a steady oscillation.
In the existing literature, the oscillation has been studied via
linearization assuming a low level of unbalance. Aiming for stronger
nonlocal statements, we present nonlinear analysis. We apply the method
of autonomous comparison systems and incremental stability to show that
the steady oscillation is unique and attractive in a wider neighborhood.
Its lock-in domain is estimated using numerical phase portrait analysis.
The oscillation is further approximated up to the terms of the second
order in the unbalance factor – it yields an estimation of the time
average of the PLL’s phase error which is not visible by linearization
only. The results provide stability guarantees and can guide the tuning
of SRF-PLL.

Trees in public open spaces are an important part of the urban green space system, which has to adapt to increasingly difficult conditions due to urbanisation, climate change and human activity. Green spaces are a major factor in improving the microclimate, helping to protect biodiversity and playing an important aesthetic role, so they need to be preserved and enhanced. In our country, since the 2000s, a large number of studies and civil initiatives have highlighted the importance of green spaces, but typically from a quantitative approach. However, improving the quality of planting is an equally important task. Our research assesses the canopy cover of trees in open spaces in Budapest in terms of planting density, with a focus on the planting distance of trees in certain squares and streets and the resulting cover values. In our studies, we have considered the quantitative and qualitative variation in crown canopy cover at the time of planting and in maturity, so we can formulate ideal planting suggestions based on the environment, requirements and characteristics (crown shape, growth vigour) of each taxa. In the series of case studies, we first studied the woody species of one of the most important intermodal nodes of Budapest, Móricz Zsigmond Square and Bartók Béla Street. The canopy cover of the square reaches the ideally defined minimum canopy cover of 25-30% in 5-7 years. Considering canopy cover and planting density, it was found that in 2023 the canopy cover of the trees in the Móricz Zsigmond square averages 13%, while at maturity it will cover more than 50%. This means that about half of the tree crowns will be able to have the highest potential impact in terms of ecosystem services.
Ecología Social de las Redes Sociales Digitales
Authors: Cuba Arthur Christian Huamani , Moura Maria Aparecida
Published: January 2024

This article analyzes the symbiotic relationship between Digital Social Networks and Algorithms, seeking to understand their digital social ecology. Through bibliographic research and the content analysis method, we developed the documentary corpus with 56 journalistic reports from the Internet, related to the Pishtaco case, a psychosocial case that occurred in Huaycán. Supported by the MAXQDA software, 2,979 segments were coded with 211 codes and subcodes, grouped into 12 thematic categories. The research brings into discussion digital social networks, not only as a means of disseminating information, but as a means of influence and an effective instrument in Communication. The capabilities related to influence and information operations encourage the crisis of truth and mistrust in society. Beyond technological progress, a critical approach to the social ecology of social networks and algorithms is suggested, attempting to draw attention to the importance of informational regimes through power disputes and surveillance capitalism. Serving as an incentive to carry out studies that seek to understand the indirect and long-term effects on informational subjects in their sociocultural organization.

Published: January 2024

O hemangioma é uma neoplasia benigna comum na região de cabeça e pescoço, e sua persistência depois dos nove anos de idade é relativamente rara. O tratamento esclerosante é uma técnica efetiva, conservadora, pouco invasiva, que resulta na eliminação de alterações estéticas e funcionais da área lesada, não envolvendo os riscos de hemorragia encontrados no tratamento cirúrgico, além de apresentar resolutividade em tempo curto. Um dos agentes esclerosantes utilizados durante muitos anos no tratamento de hemangioma e veias varicosas é o polidocanol. O uso deste esclerosante possui vantagens como o efeito anestésico adicional na ausência de dor na injeção intravascular, um alto nível de eficácia e segurança e uma taxa de ocorrência muito baixa de reações alérgicas. Tendo em vista a utilidade desta substância, suas numerosas aplicações práticas no campo médico e seu uso pouco difundido no meio odontológico, este estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a resposta biológica do polidocanol a 1% em hemangiomas, com localização na mucosa bucal.

LIVED EXPERIENCES OF ILLITERATE PARENTS IN FOSTERING HOME LITERACY ENVIRONMENT: A HERMENEUTIC PHENOMENOLOGICAL STUDY
Authors: Mariel R. Tapadera
Published: January 2024

This study intends to examine the lived experiences of illiterate parents in A Home Literacy Environment (HLE). The Researcher employed hermeneutic phenomenology to analyze the responses of fifteen illiterate parents of Cabog, Dingalan, Aurora, employing Moustakas method. After extensive data analysis, seven themes emerged: (1) looking at oneself; (2) surviving a day; (3) going through a range of emotions; (4) coping with illiteracy; (5) understanding illiteracy; (6) working with others; and (7) being worthy beyond illiteracy. The participants live their lives with a positive and negative self-perspective, balancing dependence and independence as they go about their daily activities. They felt a variety of emotions while fostering HLE due to their circumstances. On the other hand, they overcame illiteracy by formulating independent and collaborative strategies for guiding their children as they read and write at home with the assistance of the school and the community, and by receiving tangible and intangible supports. As HLE promoters, they viewed themselves as motivators, school collaborators, and even as exerting additional effort. It is suggested that schools and local government units (LGUs) develop programs suited to their necessities and conduct advocacy campaigns.

Authors: Jonelson Escandallo
Published: January 2024

This tracer study aimed to determine the graduates employment rate and employability status of graduates under the Bachelor of Elementary Education-Generalist from batch 2015 to batch 2019 within a local college in Kapalong, Davao del Norte. Also, it identified the level of attitude to work, quality education provision of the institution and the graduates skills and abilities development. Descriptive method of research was utilized in this study with a total of 209 respondents using the researchers-made tracer survey questionnaire that was conducted online with the used of Google Forms. Survey showed that the employment rate of elementary education graduates was 85.16% of which 61.8 % is working as teachers. Further, as to those whose work is non-teaching, 40.7% of them is working in the government, 48% is working as online sellers, validator and enumerator, 3.4% as call center agent, 3% as office-based clerk and 1.7% as domestic helper. Then, 31.6% are regular employees, 29.9% are full-time employees, 15.5% are self-employed, 11.5 are working on contractual basis and 6.9% are part-time employees. Meanwhile, survey showed that there are only 10% of the graduates who pursued further graduate and post-graduate studies. The level of attitude to work, quality education provisions of the institution as well as skills and abilities development obtained a very high descriptive rating which means that the elementary education graduates always manifested the said behaviors. Results showed that elementary education graduates lack knowledge and skill with multidisciplinary research. Thus, it is recommended that the institution will strengthen the implementation of thesis writing in the academe to hone and practice these future educators.

Authors: Christianah O. Ojikutu  , Ibukunoluwa A. Omokanye  , Olufunke Meadows
Published: January 2024

Lunnard Bank Plc, a Nigerian Commercial Bank, requested Amberrich Consultancy Co. Limited to carry out an analysis of the bank with the aim of providing a proposal on the resolution to the issue facing the bank–its inability to meet branch targets as indicated by its declining performance. This decline in performance was a result of disgruntled staff which had impacted negatively on customer service. These issues came about a year after the bank underwent restructuring which involved the original bank, Assentt Line Bank Plc, being bought over by Lunnard Bank. The restructuring itself arose from the need to meet the demands of the policy set by the Nigerian Apex Bank with respect to the operation of commercial banks in Nigeria.
BEYOND THE BEATS AND MELODIES: A CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF POP MUSIC FROM THE PHILIPPINES
Authors: Rowena M. Magdayao  , Maureen G. Aguisando
Published: January 2024

Pop music is a significant part of the cultural fabric, and it has an important role in framing public opinion and influencing social norms. This qualitative study which made use of Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework investigated the type of pop music that dominated the Philippine music industry for the period 2017-2023. The factors contributing to their popularity among Filipinos as well as the linguistic elements and ideological underpinnings were also examined. In this research, corpora of 60 pop music lyrics and a total of 10 participants were used. The analysis uncovered that pop R&B is the most dominant type of pop music while relatability, emotional resonance, melodic appeal, cultural references, language accessibility, and social media influence are the factors that contribute to the popularity of pop music among the Filipinos. Moreover, the ideologies embedded in pop music included nationalistic ideology, sexism, intensive mothering ideology, new masculinity ideology, and post feministic ideology. The linguistic elements present in the lyrics included rhymes, metaphors, repetition, anaphora, epistrophe, assonance, alliteration, slang and non-standard language, and expressive values. The findings of this study highlight the transformative possibilities associated with incorporating popular music into educational methodologies, specifically in the realms of music education and language studies.

Introduction: Gastrointestinal bleeding can be divided into 2 broad categories: upper and lower bleeding. The anatomical landmark that divides upper and lower bleeds is the ligament of Treitz. Bleeding that begins above the ligament of Treitz usually presents as hematemesis or melena, while bleeding that begins below is frequently shown as hematochezia.
Objective: to detail current information related to gastrointestinal bleeding, description, etiology, epidemiology, classification, clinical presentation, treatment and prognosis.
Methodology: a total of 32 articles were analyzed in this review, including review and original articles, as well as clinical cases, of which 23 bibliographies were used because the other articles were not relevant to this study. The sources of information were PubMed, Google Scholar and Cochrane; the terms used to search for information in Spanish, Portuguese and English were: gastrointestinal bleeding, intestinal bleeding, ulcer, NSAID, gastro.
Results: An H pylori eradication regimen should be started if H pylori is present in case of peptic ulcer. In upper gastrointestinal bleeding, hospital mortality rates are around 10%. This rate remains stable up to 1 month after hospitalization for gastrointestinal bleeding. Long-term follow-up of individuals with ADH shows that three years after admission, all-cause mortality rates approach 37%. Mortality rates were higher in women relative to men, which differs from lower gastrointestinal bleeding. Individuals with multiple hospitalizations for gastrointestinal bleeding have higher mortality rates. Long-term prognosis was worse in individuals with malignancies and variceal bleeding. Prognosis is usually worse with advancing age. For lower gastrointestinal bleeding, all-cause in-hospital mortality is low at about 4%.
Conclusions: The care of patients with gastrointestinal bleeding requires coordinated and efficient interprofessional cooperation. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGH) is more frequent compared to lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGE). We have to recognize the importance of the clinical manifestations of each of these and the differential diagnoses of these alterations, in order to have a proper diagnosis and therefore start the correct treatment in a timely manner and improve the prognosis of the affected individual. For treatment, risk stratification is of vital importance as well as an assessment of the appropriate setting for treatment followed by resuscitation and supportive therapy while investigating the underlying cause and attempting to correct it.

Paryże Europy Środkowej? Wybrane idee urbanistyczne i czynniki w rozbudowie większych miast regionu w długim XIX w.
Authors: Łupienko Aleksander
Published: January 2024

The aim of the paper is an overview of urban planning ideas and factors affecting development of towns and cities in the western part of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (Greater Poland, part of Pomerania, Kingdom of Poland, Galicia) that had a real impact on the quality of life of city dwellers in the period between the demise of the Polish-Lithuanian state (1795) and the World War One (1914). In the paper I deal mainly with the restructuring of the urban fabric in the towns and cities in question in the first half of the nineteenth century, which had a decisive impact on urban development before 1914. I analyse also the main selected urban planning elements that had the closest ties with the developmental factors: the process of creating tree-lined alleys, roads and boulevards, the creation of railway districts, the impact of the military factors on urban forms and the expansion of urban greenery. It is completed by conclusions, which also discuss the urban planning regulations. Some significant elements are not mentioned: the idea of garden cities or urban land incorporations, which pertained to peripheral areas and started to change the urban landscape often only in the last years of the period. The paper is based on the existing scholarly literature and the previous research of the author, and has a review-oriented and interpretational character. It results in a new attempt at a partial, though stretching beyond the partition borders, synthesis of the urban development in the Central Europe, or – as this region is often called in the Polish literature – the East-Central Europe.

The article concerns one of the most important elements of the railway transport system, which is the rolling stock, i.e. traction vehicles and wagons. The aim of the article is to determine what the modernization activities undertaken in the period of the Second Polish Republic in the field of rolling stock manifested themselves, what was their scope and how they affected the satisfaction of communication needs. For this purpose, the existing, quite dispersed literature on the subject was reviewed and its most important findings were summarized. Particular attention was paid to the electrification and motorization of railways. At the same time, areas that still require the determination of the most basic facts were indicated, as well as those that require verification and clarification of the findings made. This text also indicates the possibility of including the modernization activities discussed or only signaled in it in research in the field of numerous areas of economic or social history, for which the functioning of rail transport was important. It also ends with the postulate to analyze and evaluate modernization activities in longer time perspectives, due to their extended implementation and the emergence of their effects.

This article aims to examine the historical significance of church building in the Kingdom of Poland during the second half of the nineteenth century, with a particular focus on its role in the processes of colonisation, Russification, and modernisation of the region. The article analyzes the utilization of the Russian Orthodox Church as an instrument in Russian nationalist politics, shedding light on its involvement in shaping the political and religious landscape. The Uniate question and the issue of the separation of Chelm region are also explored in the context of this policy. The authors provide insights into how the Russian Empire viewed the Kingdom of Poland, dividing it into two key regions and highlighting the consequences of this policy from the perspective of the local population. Additionally, the article examines the priorities of the Russian administration in the Kingdom of Poland, taking a closer look at their impact on the modernisation processes that took place in the Congress Kingdom. By analyzing the historical interaction between religion and politics, this article offers a comprehensive understanding of the role of the Orthodox Church in shaping the internal situation of the Kingdom of Poland at the end of the 19th century.
Czy prowincja zawsze pozostawała w tyle, czyli o tym, jak modernizacja zmieniała codzienność poza wielkimi miastami (1864-1914). Przypadek lubelski
Authors: Nossowska Małgorzata
Published: January 2024

After 1864 the cities of the Kingdom of Poland went through a lot of changes which can be defined with the word ‘modernization’. It refers to various spheres of reality, from economic, through social, and, finally, to cultural processes; it also concerns everyday life, which can be understood as material surroundings of an individual, communication, infrastructure and urban space, entertainment and free time. Using the press from that time, it is possible to trace some of the aspects of the modernization processes, the speed with which it occurred, and the relationship with the centre. The example of Lublin presents some characteristic trends of the provincial cities: following in the footsteps of Warsaw with a few-year delay, but also the problems (e.g. financial ones in the case of infrastructure or the required entertainments), which became common in the provinces; it is a fact that the material things spread faster than attitudes and some top-down activities associated with introduction of standardization, norms, and regulations in various spheres of life.
Polityka gospodarcza Polski na tle państw Europy Środkowej w dwudziestoleciu międzywojennym
Authors: Sioma Marek
Published: January 2024

In the interwar period which started in 1918 after the Great War, the dominant politics was that of the economic liberalism which, along with the changes taking place on the political scene, shifted towards interventionism or economic nationalism. This path was also taken by three countries of Central Europe, i.e. Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary. However, each one of them implemented its own economic policy, initially largely dependent on the heritage of the previous era. After the post-war economy (war economy in Poland), the time has come for the economic prosperity, and afterwards, the Great Depression which reevaluated politicians’ thinking about the economy. At the beginning of the 1930s, the Central European countries started to move away from the liberal concepts in favour of interventionism and statism. Each of them tried to implement this ‘common’ concept in its own way. None of the countries achieved their intended goals. The fall of Czechoslovakia and Poland in 1939 and Hungary’s dependence on Germany was by no means the result of adopting the erroneous economic policy by any of the countries of Central Europe. It was a consequence of the German policy of Drang nach Osten, which they could not oppose together (for political reasons), much less on their own. The aim of the article is to present mechanisms of the economic policy of the Second Republic of Poland in comparison to countries of Central Europe, which is understood, to follow Piotr Wandycz, as a tight territorial, cultural, economic region including the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Czechoslovakia, and the Kingdom of Hungary. The discussion also addresses modernization.

The aim of the article is to present, based on the results of the latest research, the basic phenomena in the field of economic and social modernization taking place in Poland in the interwar period. An introduction to the analysis is the opening balance, which discusses the conditions present in Poland in 1918. The following sections present the processes of economic and social modernization taking place in it. Within the framework of economic modernization, the basic limitations were the negative impact of the legacy of the partitions, war damage and the Great Depression. The currency reform of Władysław Grabski, the period of prosperity in the second half of the 1920s, and the modernization policy of Eugeniusz Kwiatkowski in the second half of the 1930s were favorable phenomena. In the case of social modernization, the state played an important role, introducing important institutional solutions from the very beginning, including equality of citizens before the law, compulsory schooling, women's suffrage. A special role was played by the social policy of the state, thanks to which hundreds of thousands of citizens entered modernity, who could take advantage of social security, modern labor legislation, employment policy, and health care. At the same time, there were visible processes of disseminating the achievements of modernity, including mass and popular culture. The conclusions of the analysis indicate that, despite many examples, modernization in interwar Poland had an island character. The processes related to it have only just begun, and the implementation of many projects undertaken in the second half of the 1930s, such as the construction of the Central Industrial District or the public health service, was interrupted by the outbreak of World War II.

Islands and Fragile edges / Reclaiming the river landscape in Berat’s Historical center
Authors: Rossi Loris
Published: January 2024

This new publication of the Observatory of the Mediterranean Basin (OMB) tries to build on the previous investigations related to water issues, but shifting the focus from the Albanian Riviera to the river basin. The choice of title for this volume intends to convey importance to the idea of the river as a connection between land and sea. “When the river flows into the sea” offers a twofold reading: on one hand it confers relevance to a condition present in the Albanian territory which is still waiting for an intervention; on the other, it proposes a project for the future in terms of resource investment prevision, contributing to the preservation of the river. Continuing the tradition started three years ago, and thanks to the national and international contributions to each volume, our PhD publications have become a reference point for the research community, whereby the meaning of the project can be tested trough theory and practice.
Evolving waterscapes by relying on instability / An operative approach to river systems' design and planning towards new “repairing” and “performative” landscapes
Authors: Emanueli Luca , Lobosco Gianni
Published: January 2024

The layout of river systems, as we observe them nowadays, is only a phase of an unstable process where modifications happen according to different spatial and time scales due to climate and geological changes, human landscape alterations and the respective ecological adaptations. Representation methods have long struggled with seizing such features since morphodynamic imagery has radically changed our awareness of rivers' evolution as the result of overlapping forces acting at several levels.
Building Resilience in rural areas / A balance between environment, small settlements and their productivity
Authors: Palazzo Alice
Published: January 2024

Today’s world is going to face a wide spectrum of changes. Since the status of crisis is increasing in many countries, governments are recognizing multiple aspects of the problems they need to face, starting from the financial market crash, to the environmental degradation. Even if rural areas have always been a good example of simultaneous coexistence of natural ecosystems and economic and cultural functions, they often present the worst condition of decline in all of these sectors. It is obvious that a strategy for facing these changes is needed, but still referring to landscape only is not enough, given the complex character of the rural areas. Starting from the definition of rural resilience, this paper further focuses on this concept, by exploring the role of vernacular architecture as part of the sustainable development process of a distinctive contexts.
The Seman basin and the pollution: biological solutions / Utilization of phytodepuration, hydrodepuration and biological depuration as systems for allowing Seman basin to refurbish its natural resources
Authors: Vandini Alberta
Published: January 2024

This study defines the environmental problems concerning the Seman basin. The present situation in the Seman basin is characterized by an evident biological and chemical pollution
resulting both from human settlements and productive activity (chemical industry, oil extraction and agriculture). The environmental problem is mainly the consequence of oil extracting activities. This study aims to evaluate the effect of new biological solutions, new system-restoring procedures based on bio-remediation using specific and appropriate plants
and biodegrading bacteria. This study includes an in-situ investigation of the Seman river area, from the estuary to the production areas of oil extraction, identifying main problems
regarding the environmental pollution.
Defining hindering factors of the informal settlements in the general regulatory plan of Shkodra municipality
Authors: Kacani Artan
Published: January 2024

This research dates back to the beginning of the first phase of drafting the General Regulatory Plan (GLP) of Shkodër Municipality, January 2016. As stated by the Albanian law ‘On Territorial Planning’, the drafting phase of a GLP follows three processes: deep analysis of the territory, vision and development plan. The most consistent of all three processes is the first. It requires the involvement of different actors in data collection and the ability to merge specific thematic maps. For these reasons, and due to the complexity of the objectives that an actor might have, this research focuses on one specific theme: informal settlements and the role that two actors has during the first process of plan drafting. Many studies have been conducted on the second and third phases, such as critiques of the zoning or political processes that are brought to strategic visions and their applicability. From this perspective, this research is the first attempt to highlight emerging problems that the GLP could solve if it begins with the first process, the deep analysis of territory.
The two actors studied are the Regional Agency of the Legalization, Urbanization and Integration of Informal Areas (ALUIZNI) and its agenda and the municipality and its territorial instruments, such as the General Local Plan, (GLP). The hindering process1 to acquire formal housing from informal housing is mostly a hidden and neglected issue. The classic way to deal with these practices is the last process of the GLP, the development plan. This phase does not include the hindering factors in the analytical data, and it treats them as a unique area to be combined later with the structural units of the zoning tool. By doing this, we lose the main principle of the GLP, that of wealth redistribution and social justice, defined by law 107/2014 "On Planning and Territory Development". The research explains why it is important to integrate the information of both the actors in the first phase of plan drafting with what can be generated later if revenues and public investments are made in a different political decision making process.
By integrating in consecutive layers the various housing emergencies the research calls in action various professionals and decision makers in a planning instrument based on informal area.
Planning the "new" Shkodra
Authors: Terpo Amanda , Allkja Ledio
Published: January 2024

Over the last decade, the planning approach in Albania is changing from an urbanistic to a more comprehensive, integrated planning approach (Toto, 2012) (Allkja, 2017). The “reform” was initiated in 2007 with the start of the preparation of a new legislation on “Territorial Planning”. It culminated in 2009 with the approval of law 10911 “On Territorial Planning”, and subsequently in 2014 with law 107/2014 on “Territorial Planning and Development” (Toto, 2012). Of course, to change the legislation is not the only issue as planning practice and the institutionalization of a new planning culture takes time and is an incremental process of continuous change (Allkja, 2017). Thus planning changes from a “technical and regulatory” discipline towards a socio-political process of policy making in support of better territorial governance and territorial development. Afterall, planning as a profession, by nature is subject to continuous changes based on territorial, social, economic and environmental challenges. Decentralization is also one of the main reforms going on in Albania which impacts territorial governance and spatial planning. In 2013, a new territorial administrative reform was started aiming at the consolidation of local governance (Ministri i Ceshtjeve Vendore, 2015). As part of this reform from 373 Municipalities (urban) and Communes (rural) local governance in Albania was “reduced” to 61 Municipalities composed from urban and rural territories (Ministri i Ceshtjeve Vendore, 2015). This reform has great implications for planning and supports the change in approach from “urbanism” towards comprehensive and integrated.
(Un)margin the Shkodra’s gate / An opportunity to regenerate an important landmark
Authors: Shtylla Saimir
Published: January 2024

The Shkodra’s gate is located in the southernmost point of the city, where there is the confluence of Buna, Kiri and Drini Rivers. This gate is not a simple access to the most import city of the North, but the Albania’s main gate, towards northern and central Europe. The countless postcards produced through the years, mark its importance by figuring the two main symbols of this landmark: the Rozafa’s castle, positioned in a very strategic point at the top and the Buna’s river that springs from Shkodra’s Lake. During the 19th century, its strategical position and the navigability of the Buna’s river, encouraged the creation of city’s harbor, tied Shkodra economically with many European harbor cities of the Adriatic basin such as Venice, that lately encouraged the concentration of many small artisanal enterprises and birth of the local market, too. During Socialism, the centralized economic model implemented in the country banned private activities because of being in contrast with the ideology of the regime and it couldn’t be different in Shkodra where the harbor, the local market and the surrounding buildings were blown away, erasing an important piece of history. Nowadays, this area isn’t in a good condition because of the constant flood risk and the abandoned building that were expected to host economic activities are a clear demonstration of the lack of attention and investments from the public administration and the central government. The so called “bypass”, supposed to act as dike to prevent floods, is no less than a huge amount of gravel placed in the limit of the city. Despite suffering this quasi-miserable condition, a regeneration is vital to rebirth the lost identity and to assure protection from floods. The project proposal doesn’t consist in the (re) building of a new harbor, as an attempt to restore the lost memory, but as part of a series of interventions to protect the city from the lake’s and Buna’s river behavior during their peaks also aiming to preserve and improve further the relation between them and the city.
Strategies for urban regeneration through the intervention on the existing buildings / A proposal for the city of Shkodra
Authors: Frighi Valentina
Published: January 2024

A strategy for the urban regeneration of the city of Shkodra has been developed for answering to the actual critical issues identified. The proposed approach aims to define effective sustainable strategies for the urban regeneration of the historical town through the development of a set of interventions for the revitalization of the inner-city spaces and the recovery of the obsolescent existing buildings. Starting from the previsions of the General Local Plan, already in force, classes of light actions to respond to the above-mentioned critical issues has been developed in order to intervene on a more detailed scale. The intended strategy seems also suitable for all that contexts with similar problems due to the low impact these kinds of intervention have, able to minimize costs, meet community needs and avoid an excessive consumption of resources.
