Some Reflections on the Constitutional Review in Albania in a Comparison Key
Authors: Tafani Ismail , Tokrri Renata 
Published: March 2021

In this study we will try to analyze the foundations of the Constitution as a pillar and as a guarantee for its solidity. The study will also address the need for revision of the constitution as a fundamental element of its existence and continuity. Particular emphasis will be given to the comparison of the constitutions of the most important countries in the world as regards the procedures and limits to the constitutional revision. In this sense, the constitutions of some Balkan Peninsula countries will be analyzed to draw a comparison and analyze the Albanian Constitution as regards the procedure for its revision. The study intends to analyze the procedures for the revision of the Constitution as well as the explicit and implicit limits to these revisions. In the Constitutional revision in Albania in 2016, the role of the Constitutional Court on the control of the constitutional legitimacy of constitutional revision laws was clarified. Formal constitutionality is usually emphasized since the Albanian constitutional reform underlined that the Constitutional Court in Albania could express itself on the constitutionality of the Constitutional revision law only from a formal point of view.

Re-Constructing the Tutors-Tutees Relationships for Better Academic Performance in Universities Amidst Covid-19 New Normal
Authors: Omodan Bunmi Isaiah , Ige Olugbenga A. 
Published: March 2021

In the past, the success of Supplemental Instruction (Tutorial Sessions) depends on the tutors and tutees' physical and social relationships. However, the assumption exists that when there are no physical connections between the duos may affect their social interrelationships, impeding the success and intention of SI in the University classrooms. This study, therefore, investigates the current relationships amidst new normal towards SI and students performance. The study is underpinned by attachment theory to unravel the extent, importance and shortcomings of the assumed change in the relationship between the understudied. The study is guided by the Transformative Paradigm (TP) and Participatory Research (PR) to identify the possible dichotomies in their relationships. Purposive selection method was used to select five tutors and five tutees in a selected university in South Africa. Online (WhatsApp, email, and telephonic) interview was used to collect data from the participants. The data were subjected to thematic analysis. The result showed that that; struggles with the use and lack of Internet-of-Things and unstructured work-hours were the significant challenges that affected online tutorial sessions. On the other hand, the study also found out that students need ICT training and devices, including motivation for performance. Therefore, we recommend that training of ICT and provision of devices alongside strong motivation should be ensured.

Optimization of Factor Settings for Pharmaceutical Filling Process by Factorial Design of Mixed Levels
Authors: Chen Guangming , Ezekiel Andrew , Bardhan Tridip Kumar 
Published: March 2021

Product and process variations can be costly to manufacturers in terms of high rework expenses, scrap, and inspection. We studied the variability of a generic pharmaceutical filling process (i.e., the fill weight and its related four factors). Firstly, we used mixed level factorial design to carry out the experiments and collect the data. The significance of the process factors and their interactions was determined using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Next, process capability analysis and optimization process were performed. The ultimate goal of the study was to develop the optimal level settings of controllable factors to minimize the quality loss caused by the deviation of process mean from the target value (nominal fill weight). The optimal level settings of the process factors were obtained for high and low viscosity products. As presented in this paper, significant quality improvement in the filling process can be achieved by reduction in fill weight variations. The approach may be generalized to other similar filling processes.
Finger Pinch Loosening and Tightening Torques on Small Cylindrical Handles Among Industrial Workers
Authors: Imrhan Sheik N , Munoz-Vasa Maria Jose 
Published: March 2021

An experiment was conducted with 23 assembly line workers in a manufacturing plant to study to the variation in finger torque strengths on small handles. Subjects exerted MVC torques on small cylindrical handles with different finger contact surface finishes (smooth and knurled) and different diameters (3.3, 5.0, 6.4, 9.5, and 19.0 mm). Three similar handles with flanged finger contact were also tested to simulate torqueing on a specific medical device. The flange widths were 6.4, 9.5, and 19.0 cm. Both loosening and tightening peak torques were measured. Ten males and 13 females between the ages of 22 and 55 years were tested. Each performed 26 different torque exertions while standing (20 on cylinders and 6 on flanges). The results indicated that finger torque strength decreased steadily as diameter of the cylindrical handle, or length of the flange, decreased. It was also stronger for tightening compared to loosening, and for knurled cylinders compared with smooth cylinders. Of greater interest was the 2-factor interaction effects on torque – surface*direction, surface*diameter and diameter*direction for the cylinders; and direction*width for the flanges. These interactions indicate that the change in torque over one torqueing factor is not independent of other factors. These results have implications for the design of small device parts, as in some types of medical products.
Getting the Last Stop Right: An Analysis of the Fort Campbell Personnel Processing Center
Authors: Kwinn Michael J. , Coxen Julia , Wolter Jason A. 
Published: March 2021

This project proposes to develop an improved system to process Soldiers at the Personnel Processing Center (PPC) located at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. This processing center is the final pre-deployment requirement prior to missions in support of the Global War on Terror. The PPC services the 101st Airborne Division and Fort Campbell’s tenant units and receives a high volume of Soldiers for processing. It is in the interest of Soldiers, their families, and senior leadership to process deploying troops accurately and rapidly. The current system, though functioning and meeting the Army’s needs, has inherent inefficiencies that limit its capacities and ability to maximize utilization.
Systematic Routine for Setting Confidence Levels for Mean Time to Failure (MTTF)
Authors: Lee Jimin , Yearout Robert , Parsons Donna 
Published: March 2021

There are circumstances where an item is intentionally tested to destruction. The purpose of this technique is to determine the failure rate (λ) of a tested item. For these items, the quality attribute is defined as how long the item will last until failure. Once the failure rate is determined from the number of survivors and total time of all items tested the mean time to failure (MTTF) which is a typical statistic for survival data analysis issues. MTTF is calculated by dividing one by failure rate (λ). From this one obtains the reliability function R(t) = e-λt where t is time. This allows the cumulative density function F(t) = 1- e-λt to be determined. This density function, f(t) = λe-λt is a negative exponential with a standard deviation (σ) = 1/λ. Thus setting a warranty policy for the tested item is difficult for the practitioner. An important property of the exponential distribution is that it is memory less. This means its conditional probability follows P(T > s + t |T > s)=P(T > t) for all s, t ≥0. The exponential distribution can be used to describe the interval lengths between any two consecutive arrival times in a homogeneous Poisson process. The purpose of this research paper is to present a simple technique to determine a realistic confidence level. Using the same technique the warranty level for the tested item can be predicted.
An Optimization Approach to Balancing Risk and Cost in Combatant Command Capability Advocacy
Authors: Whitaker Savanna , Goirigolzarri Benjamin , Getty Summer , Pietz Jesse , Wilck Joseph , Martin Kiel , Mindrup Frank 
Published: March 2021

Unified Combatant Commands (UCCs) have broad continuing missions around the globe where they are tasked to provide functional expertise and defense of geographical areas. Accomplishing these missions requires a robust portfolio of military capabilities (e.g., aircraft, spacecraft, command and control systems, radar systems). UCCs routinely perform analyses to identify gaps between capabilities required to accomplish their mission and those currently at their disposal. Each year they submit a prioritized list of required capabilities, including new systems and greater capacity with existing systems, to the Joint Staff in the costly and time-consuming Integrated Priority List (IPL) process. This process relies on operational art and subject matter expertise, and sometimes fails to identify acquisition opportunities that achieve an optimal balance between risk and cost. Because this IPL process affects all of the DOD’s personnel, material, systems and missions, it is arguably the most significant analytic challenge faced by the United States military. This article presents an integer linear programming model that computes an optimal balance between operational risk and the cost of acquiring new capabilities, and allows decision makers to identify the real-world impact of their budgetary decisions. We apply this model to the mission of providing aerospace defense of the United States and illustrate through sensitivity analysis the meaningful insights that can be gained by studying the relationship between the risk of not achieving 100 percent radar coverage and the opportunity cost of advocating for new capabilities.
Identifying and Quantifying Critical Information Streams for Tactical Combat Decision Modeling
Authors: Goodman Daniel , Mullins Shea , McDonald Josh , Cho James , Boylan Gregory 
Published: March 2021

It is often asserted that more information on the battlefield leads to greater situational awareness (SA) which, in turn, translates to enhanced mission performance and outcomes. However, the volume of available information on the modern networked battlefield is extensive and growing, which induces risk of indecision due to cognitive overload. The potential overload highlights the need to streamline the flow of information to those critical streams that provide the most value to a tactical leader’s decision process at particular points in time. The purpose of this study is to identify critical information streams required by tactical leaders within the various phases of a dismounted search and attack/react to contact scenario. Domain Mapping Matrix methodology (DMM) is utilized to quantify the value of various information streams relative to the sub -phases within the scenario using a constructed nominal scale. The significance of the highlighted interactions is validated through the use of statistical analysis, with combat veterans serving as test cases. The findings of this study will facilitate the development of decision models that will eventually enable more accurate and realistic simulation of the leader’s decision processes that increased SA purportedly enhances.

Authors: Talmadge Ramsay , Jenkins Luke , Hidalgo Drew , Olivas Josh , Burk Roger 
Published: March 2021

Considering the increased reliance on GPS navigation for the Army’s Unmanned Aircraft Systems, adversaries have invested in capabilities to deny our systems access to genuine GPS signals. Although significant effort has been put forth in the areas of anti-jamming and anti-spoofing in GPS receivers, a need for alternative navigation methods in a GPS denied environment has grown in importance. This report outlines the recommendation and analysis completed for Mr. Lars Ericsson of the Army Project Manager Unmanned Aircraft Systems (PM-UAS). The report includes background research in the domain space, comprehensive stakeholder analysis, derived system requirements and functional requirements, ending with alternative generation, value scoring, costing, and provided findings for a recommended alternative for future consideration.
Prosodically-conditioned factive inferences in Korean: An experimental study
Authors: Jeong Sunwoo 
Published: March 2021

Much work has been done to capture the systematic variation in projective behaviors of factive inferences. However, not as much has been said about variation in factivity below the level of projection. This paper presents an experimental study which probes and confirms that Korean showcases patterns of variation in this vein: Factive inferences systematically arise from certain V+CPs, but only under certain prosody, even in unembedded contexts. Characterizing this pattern as 'prosodically-conditioned factive inferences', the paper proposes a pragmatic analysis of it couched in alternative semantics. The analysis motivates and defends a new interpretive principle which governs how alternatives come into contrast with each other, and re-examines the ontological status of factivity.
Factive Islands and Interrogative Logical Triviality
Authors: Kalpak Hana 
Published: March 2021

Factive predicates can prevent wh-movement from the clauses they embed (Cinque 1990). This 'factive island' effect has recently been analysed as resulting from pragmatic constraints on questions: wh-extraction is thought to be prohibited either because the resulting interrogative is systematically infelicitous(Schwarz & Simonenko 2018b), or because it is systematically blocked by competing interrogative forms (Schwarz, Oshima & Simonenko 2019). This paper notes empirical problems for both of these accounts, and offers an alternative explanation of factive islands in terms of 'IL-triviality', a novel extension of the notion of L-triviality (Gajewski 2002) to interrogative sentences.
The interaction of question particles and negation in embedded contexts: the case of alles
Authors: Chark Jordan 
Published: March 2021

The German question particle alles (Reis 1992; Zimmermann 2007) is characterised in the semantic literature as imposing plurality and exhaustivity requirements on the answer space. We report on novel experimental probing the interaction of alles and negation in embedded questions. We investigated alles with three embedding predicates: vergessen 'forget', wissen 'know', and überraschen 'surprise'. The data show that alles may be focussed and contributes to at-issue propositional content, on the basis of its interaction with negation.
Numeral <em>Any</em>: the view from Farsi
Authors: Alonso-Ovalle Luis , Moghiseh Esmail 
Published: March 2021

This paper documents a dimension of crosslinguistic variation among Universal Free Choice Items. In English, the distribution and interpretation of any DPs containing a numeral ("numeral any") differs from that of any DPs with no numeral (Dayal 2005, 2013; Chierchia 2013). In contrast, the Farsi counterparts of any and numeral any mirror each other. Two competing analyses of the contrast between any and numeral any are assessed against the Farsi data – the Wide Scope Constraint Analysis (Chierchia 2013) and the Viability Constraint Analysis (Dayal 2013). The paper shows that, with minimal extensions, either analysis can capture the behavior of the Farsi counterpart of numeral any with distributive predicates. The situation changes, however, when the minimally modified analyses are assessed with respect to sentences with collective predicates: the extended Wide Scope Constraint Analysis captures the attested interpretation of those sentences, but the extended Viability Constraint Analysis rules them out, undergenerating.
Superior sagittal sinus thrombosis in childhood – a case report
Authors: Gavrilovska-Dimovska Aleksandra , Gavrilovski Andreja , Filipce Venko 
Published: March 2021

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is presence of a blood clot in the dural venous sinuses. This is a rare, but dangerous condition. CSVT is characterized by a highly variable clinical spectrum, difficult diagnosis, variable etiologies and prognosis. The International Study on Cerebral Vein and Dural Sinus Thrombosis (ISCVT) determined the frequency of the sites of SCVT. The aim of this case study was to show the clinical presentation, the examination we made, the therapy that was ordinated and the outcome of the treatment. Case study: A 14-year-old male teenager was admitted to the University Clinic for Neurosurgery in Skopje with GCS 10, accompanied with tonic-clonic epileptic seizures. CT examinations by systems were made, and during the time of recording the patient was given Dormicum 2mg overall dose. CT scan of the brain showed hyperdense zones formation around superior sagittal sinus (SSS), the rest of the medical finding was normal. We ran laboratorytests and the test for hemostasisshowed deviation from the normal range. With the ordinated therapy the clinical condition of the patient drastically improved. He was discharged home 12 days after the admission. He was given a recommendation for further check-ups by a transfusiologist and regular visits to our clinic. Occlusion of the cerebral veins and dural venous sinuses may occur on the basis of local trauma, neoplasm or infection. Primary aseptic thrombosis may involve either cerebral veins or dural venous sinuses, or both in combination. The clinical picture and the prognosis of intracranial venous thrombosis probably depend largely on the location, extent, and rapidity of development of the venous occlusion. Conclusion: Superior sagittal sinus thrombosis is a condition that can be manifested with diverse and many symptoms and signs, which often can start unexpectedly and can be life-threatening.
