Finding Electron-Hole Interaction in Quantum Kinetic Framework
Authors: Klotins E. 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
The article presents a quantum kinetic framework to study interacting quan¬tum systems. Having the constituting model Hamiltonians of two-band semiconductor and the photoexcited electron-hole pair, their quantum kinetic evolution has been revi-sited. Solution to this nonlinear problem of electron-hole interaction is obtained making use of the self-consistency loop between the densities of photoexcited electrons and holes and the pairwise interaction terms in the constituting model Hamiltonians. In the leading order, this approach supports the required isomorphism between the pairwise interaction and the birth and annihilation operators of the photoexcited electrons and holes as a desirable property. The approach implies the Hilbert space and the tensor product mathematical techniques as an appropriate generalization of the noninteracting electron-hole pair toward several-body systems.

Authors: Marusik Yu. M. , Larsen N. 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
Until this study, Metellina Chamberlin et Ivie, 1941 was unknown in Africa and adjacent islands. A survey of the literature revealed that among nine species of Meta C. L. Koch, 1836 described from the region, two were misplaced in Metainae and actually belong to Tetragnatha Latreille, 1804: T. maculata Blackwall, 1865 (originally placed in the genus Tetragnatha) and Tetragnatha vacillans (Butler, 1876), comb. n. Meta meruensis Tullgren, 1910 misplaced in this genus, most likely belongs to Leucauge White, 1841 or a related genus. Six species are transferred from Meta, and new combinations are established for them: Metellina barreti (Kulczyński, 1899), comb. n., M. gertschi (Lessert, 1938), comb. n., M. longipalpis (Pavesi, 1883), comb. n., M. merianopsis (Tullgren, 1910), comb. n., M. minima (Denis, 1953), comb. n. and M. villiersi (Denis, 1955), comb. n. Metellina haddadi sp. n. is described from the foothills of the Table Mountain near Cape Town. The distribution of all species treated in this paper is mapped.

Published: July 2018

Background Balloon catheter sinuplasty (BCS) for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) was found to be successful in adults. The safety and feasibility of BCS in children has been recently established. The purpose of this study was to study the outcome of this technology in CRS in children. Methods A prospective, multicenter, nonrandomized evaluation was performed on patients with CRS. Thirty-two children between the ages of 2 and 11 years were enrolled. Safety was assessed by rate of adverse events. Effectiveness was assessed using the Sino-Nasal (SN)-5 quality-of-life questionnaire for children with CRS at 52 weeks follow-up. Results Thirty-two children were enrolled of which 24 completed their 52 weeks follow-up. No adverse events were reported because of the procedure. SN-5 score improved from a mean of 4.9 at baseline to a mean of 2.95 at 52 weeks (p < 0.0001). Twelve (50%) children had a significant improvement of their SN-5 (> – 1.5), 7 (29%) had moderate improvement (> –1.0 and < –1.5), 2 (8%) had mild improvement (> –0.5 and < –1.0), 1 (4%) remained the same, and 2 (8%) had worsening scores. Conclusions Balloon catheter dilation of the sinus ostia in children was safe and a significant number showed improvement of their SN-5 at 1 year follow-up. Additional studies comparing balloon sinuplasty to other modalities of treatment in children are needed to determine its efficacy in the treatment of CRS in children.
Cytological Changes in Nasal Secretions Accompanying Delayed Nasal Response to Allergen Challenge
Authors: Pelikan Zdenek 
Published: July 2018

Background Patients with allergic rhinitis when challenged with allergen develop various types of nasal response, such as an immediate nasal response (INR), late nasal response (LNR), dual late nasal response (DLNR), or delayed nasal response (DYNR), probably because of different hypersensitivity mechanisms. This study was designed to investigate the cytological changes in the nasal secretions (NSs) during the DYNR, beginning 24–32 hours, reaching maximum at 32–36 hours, and resolving within 56 hours after the nasal provocation tests (NPTs) with allergens. Methods In 45 allergic rhinitis patients developing 45 positive DYNRs (p < 0.01), the NPTs and the phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) controls were repeated and supplemented with cytological examination of the NSs and determination of interferon (IFN) γ and IL-4 in nasal lavage fluid (NLF). Results The repeated DYNR (p < 0.001) was accompanied by significant changes (p < 0.05) in the counts of neutrophils, monocytes, lymphocytes, epithelial and goblet cells, and, to a limited extent, of plasma cells and platelets in the NSs and increased concentrations of IFN-γ but not of IL-4, in NLF between 24 and 48 hours after the NPT. No significant cytological changes were found in NSs during the PBS controls (p > 0.1). Conclusion The DYNR is associated with cytological profiles in the NS different from those observed during the INR or LNR. The significant count changes of neutrophils, monocytes, lymphocytes, epithelial and goblet cells in NSs, and increased IFN-γ but not of IL-4 concentrations in the NLF, suggest a possible involvement of the cell-mediated hypersensitivity in the DYNR. These results also emphasize the diagnostic value of NPTs combined with cytological examination of the NSs in patients with nasal allergy.

Published: July 2018

Abstract
In this paper we would like to analyse and to treat the legal bases of: Legal analysis on the legal mechanisms for consumer protection in the comparative right, the role and importance of these legal mechanisms in developed countries and paying attention by special emphasis over the Republic of Kosovo. An important highlight will be over the comparative aspect of legal analysis in Kosovo, Macedonia and Albania. We also take into consideration the legal analysis of cases of violations and misleading commercial practices. Commercial practice is misleading when it contains false information and is therefore untrue. A commercial practice is misleading even when, in every possible way, including the overall appearance, misleads or is likely to mislead the average consumer, making or likely to make the consumer. The paper aims to provide a complete overview of the key issues related to the legal mechanisms for consumer protection in comparative law by treating them both theoretically and in the way that judicial practice, especially our judicial practice, has understand and apply procedural provisions regarding legal mechanisms for consumer protection in comparative law and issues arising in this regard. In this regard, the research questions include: 1. which are the main problems facing Kosovo's judicial practice in the context of the implementation of substantive and procedural provisions on cases and legal mechanisms for the protection of consumers in comparative law? 2.Is Kosovo facing poor implementation of the law, respectively non-implementation of material provisions and procedural provisions in Kosovo, for the protection of businesses and consumers? What are the causes that may affect the non-implementation of the legal framework, which is thought to be the best solution in this regard? The research questions that come out under the law are; in which cases should a relationship be referred to legal remedies for consumer protection in comparative foreign law? All these issues tend to give a comparative look at the international and national level. The expected results from this research consist in deepening theoretical and practical knowledge on legal mechanisms for consumer protection in comparative law, comparative analysis in Kosovo and beyond.

Authors: Çika Nertila 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
Under the current conditions of the economic development, the management of entities requires information in order to make efficient economic decisions to achive the objectives by taking the respective risks as well. To achieve this goal, among other things, the organization of effective internal control systems and accounting is important. Financial scandals at the beginning of the XXI century highlighted the deficiencies and indicated the need to establish effective internal control systems and risk management. Small and medium enterprises currently represent the major part of economic activities throughout the world. In Albania, they represent the largest proportion of all types of enterprises, providing a lot of opportunities for employment. Mechanisms of internal control are a tool and a way of monitoring the human resources activities of SMEs. It plays an important role in the prevention and detection of fraud and protection of physical and intangible resources, and leading to high efficiency and smooth functioning of the business. This study examines and describes the effectiveness of internal control systems in Albanian small and medium size enterprises. The study focuses on the five main components of internal control and their impact on achieving the company’s objectives. To achieve these objectives we formulate one research question: To what extent does the internal control system of SMEs comply with the principles of effective internal control? The literature review chapter is based from various resources such as books, articles and online papers. We will use questionnaire to collect data pertaining to the five essential and interrelated components of internal control: control environment, risk assessment, information and communication, monitoring and control activities. After obtaining adequate theoretical framework and practical data, a comprehensive analysis is carried out based on these data. This study has shown that SMEs in Albania has a solid and effective internal control system, but still it needs more improvement and generally it requires more attention from the board members.

A Survey on Loanwords and Borrowings and Their Role in the Reflection of Cultural Values and Democracy Development: the Armenian Paradigm
Authors: Stepanyan Elina 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
With the new wave of social sector becoming a fundamental element in generating and shaping democratic practices in such counties as Armenia, the role and the strategic prominence of language and loanwords has been highly reemphasized in the frames of thorough investigation of word borrowing practice and of its contribution to the egalitarian developments. The current paper aims at disclosing the essential dynamics in regard to the development of loanwords uncovered during a former field work in Armenia, which primarily concerns the process, the causes, the social dynamics through which loanwords emerge, as well as the issues of "purity" of vocabulary and the interconnection between loanwords and local development processes in Armenia. The article is based on qualitative research methods; semi-structured, focus group and informal interviews have been carried out in order to collect the needed data. The results of the article suggest that being the basis of communication among different countries and societies, the process of word borrowing however is not always easy and autonomous, especially in the scope of democracy building; the creation and the development of new words and concepts is a complicated task, which requires cultural exchange, real manifestation of the concepts induced, as well as apt and professional assistance and sustenance. The paper concludes that notwithstanding all the efforts by humans, geopolitical, economic and cultural forces play a significantly stronger role, and thus changes and modifications in a language are inevitable, moreover the process appeals for facilitation and support in such developing countries as Armenia.
