Authors: AMZAI Arjeta , KAREMANI- ZULBEARI Argjina , CURRI-MEMETI Almira
Published: September 2024

The circular economy, a concept based on the principles of designing waste and pollution, keeping products and materials in use for a longer time, and regenerating natural systems is still in its infancy in the Western Balkans, especially in many analyses related to the development and future projections of small and medium enterprises. Over the years, there has been a steady increase in per capita waste generation in the region, with the municipal waste recycling rate among economies being very low, while resource intensity as a measure of resource efficiency has remained relatively high. In addition, enterprises in the region are rarely aware of the opportunities of a circular economy, such as reduced environmental impact, more sustainable use, and conservation of natural resources, lower production costs, increased innovation, increased competitiveness, greater resistance to external shocks through reduced dependence on resources or the creation of new markets and jobs. Of particular importance is the identification of key economic sectors that should be directly involved in the process of circular economic transformation. In addition, it is important in the European framework, to map of the good practices that could be transferred to the economy in the Republic of North Macedonia, when it comes to the circular economy. In the framework of this paper, through the application of a methodological framework of content analysis, comparison, synthesis, and generalization, a diagnosis of the current situation regarding a circular economy in North Macedonia will be presented, as well as the identification of priority sectors/areas as the main key for the future perspectives of the circular economy within these society frameworks. It requires the involvement of all key stakeholders, including government institutions, the private sector, civil society, and academia, to apply a comprehensive approach in setting a future roadmap for a circular economy and encouraging a circular transition for the greater benefit of society of the Republic of North Macedonia, with special reference to improving the future of small and medium enterprises.

HOW DID THE PANDEMIC AFFECT THE RESIZING OF TELEVISION NEWSROOMS IN ALBANIA
Authors: SKANA Pranvera
Published: September 2024

The pandemic has brought great surprise by transforming many dimensions of our lives, but it has undoubtedly also found the entire media industry unprepared. It has led to the paralysis of every political and economic activity, as well as of media systems, not only in Albania but did not spare the information corporations all over the world. The immediate challenges faced by the media, particularly the traditional ones, were the collapse of information, job losses, decline in advertising, reduction of staff and budgets, biased information, and decreased access to resources. In this article, we aim to prepare a qualitative analysis, of how Covid-19 has re-dimensioned the editorial staff of information television in terms of organization and operation of daily basis of the journalist’s work. In the following, we have taken into consideration our study of three newsrooms of news television, such as: Syri Tv, Euronews, and News 24. The methodology is based on qualitative interviews of the three relevant chief editors of the aforementioned media, such as: Bledian Koka, Anta Muçaku, and Anila Jole. The survey of 23 journalists working in these newsrooms also provides quantitative data, concluding that today’s editorships bring many "innovations" and organizational "changes", that had not previously been embraced by classic TV editors, before the COVID-19.

En este contexto, el Gobierno chino ha establecido un sistema de discurso con numerosas referencias al periodo de la Guerra Fría, centrándose en EE. UU. y Rusia como principales actores. A través del análisis de las declaraciones oficiales, propaganda mediática y artículos académicos, se pretende examinar cómo China ha construido y empleado un sistema de propaganda basado en el discurso de la Guerra Fría para el caso del conflicto ruso-ucraniano.
O PERFIL DO ESTUDANTE DO CURSO DE ADMINISTRAÇÃO MEDIANTE AS REPRESENTAÇÕES SOCIAIS DOS DOCENTES
Authors: Andrade Andréia Borges , Ribeiro Marinalva Lopes
Published: September 2024

This article aims to explore the perceptions of faculty members at the State University of Feira de Santana regarding the profile of students in the Administration program at UEFS. Social representations (SRs) are collective constructions that guide how individuals and groups interpret and interact with reality (Moscovici, 1978). Therefore, the study seeks to contribute to a reflection on the characteristics of the students from the perspective of developing autonomy and how these faculty perceptions can be used to improve teaching practices in the Administration program. The research, with a qualitative approach, used structured interviews and Bardin's Content Analysis, revealing that the majority of students are working professionals who face significant challenges such as lack of time and fatigue, which impact their autonomy and academic performance. The research also indicates that while some faculty are attentive to the students' specific needs, there is a need to adapt teaching practices to meet these students' particularities, promoting more flexible and integrated learning aligned with their realities.

LEGITIMIDADE E REPRESENTATIVIDADE ADEQUADA NO PROCESSO COLETIVO BRASILEIRO: UMA COMPARAÇÃO ENTRE A LEI VIGENTE E OS PROJETOS DE LEI 4.441/20, 4.778/20 E 1.641/21
Authors: Koga Lorena Fadel
Published: September 2024

A legitimidade ativa para o processo coletivo brasileiro foi determinada pelo legislador, com base em critérios objetivos, que levam a presunção da representação adequados daqueles que foram legitimados. Não há, portanto, atribuição de legitimidade ao indivíduo para propor demandas coletivas, diferentemente do que ocorre, por exemplo, com as class actions, nos Estados Unidos, na qual caberá ao juiz aferir a representatividade adequada do demandante. Embora o entendimento de representatividade adequada no sistema brasileiro fique atrelado à lei, é possível identificar brechas para apreciação judicial no caso concreto. Nos tribunais, assim como entre doutrinadores, só aumentam os debates sobre os pré-requisitos legais para a legitimação e observância da relação de pertinência entre o legitimado e a tutela pretendida. É sobre tal perspectiva que se busca identificar e analisar as sugestões propostas nos Projetos de Lei 4.441/20, 4.778/20 e 1.641/21 acerca do tema.
FUSÕES, AQUISIÇÕES E CRIAÇÃO DE VALOR: UMA ANÁLISE SISTEMÁTICA A PARTIR DAS QUESTÕES CULTURAIS, ECONÔMICAS E SOCIAIS, BEM COMO SUA PRESENÇA EM PAÍSES EMERGENTES.
Authors: Martin Samuel Antônio
Published: September 2024

Este artigo relata algumas situações importantes no âmbito das fusões e aquisições envolvidas no processo de diversificação do capital. Não obstante, é imperioso verificar também que existe uma relação maior entre as fusões e aquisições com a criação de valor nas organizações, tendo em vista a necessidade de se elencar um objetivo de resolução a ser adotado no âmbito do mercado financeiro. Todas essas questões envolvem muito mais do que apenas uma relação comercial, mas também um jogo de existência do próprio capitalismo, onde se verifica também a existência de relações sociais, econômicas, legais e de justiça, a serem apreciadas do ponto de vista econômico. Não obstante, o texto relatará também sobre a análise do papel das fusões e aquisições no âmbito da gestão em países considerados emergentes, tais como a China e a Índia. Nesta situação, o texto relatará também sobre a intensidade que existe da própria atuação da criação de valor no mercado financeiro, e o desenvolvimento empresarial decorrente das fusões e aquisições, sempre relacionado com o crescimento econômico, as questões legais, territoriais, de justiça e sociais existentes.

A conceptual review of Madhumeha according to Ayurveda and contemporary science
Authors: Jadhav Aishwarya , Neralkar Uday , Deshmukh Jayashri
Published: September 2024

Diabetes Mellitus (Madhumeha) is a group of metabolic diseases associated with hyperglycemia which is due to absolute deficiency of insulin or diminished biological effectiveness of it characterized by polyuria, polyphagia and polydipsia. It is a single most important metabolic disorder that affects almost every organ/system in the body.
In Ayurveda, acharyas have mentioned disease according to the strotasas involved and these diseases are classified according to the Dosha predominance. Out of the four types of Vataj prameha, Madhumeha is one of the type. It is a common chronic metabolic disease which is correlated with Diabetes Mellitus. Diabetes Mellitus is prevalent all over the world with an alarming rise in its prevalence day by day. As per Indian Council of Medical Research – India Diabetes (ICMR INDIAB) study published in 2023, the prevalence of diabetes is 10.1 crore. By 2030, 643 million people will have diabetes globally, increasing to 783 million by 2045. The management of Madhumeha is considered as a global problem. Thus the study has been done to get through the depths of all the insights about the pathogenesis of disease according to both modern as well as ayurved literature which would later prove helpful to precisely establish the curability of disease and to acknowledge the limitations of treatment.
