Temporary protection in the European Union: a legal analysis
Authors: Кортукова Тамара , Yemets Yelyzaveta 
Published: December 2024

Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 led to a mass migration of people to European Union countries. This, in turn, has highlighted the issue of legal regulation of temporary protection for such individuals. Analyzing this issue is essential for understanding the mechanisms of providing assistance, defining the rights and obligations of beneficiaries of temporary protection, and assessing the effectiveness of European legislation in the context of a large-scale humanitarian crisis. The aim of the article is to conduct a comprehensive study of the legal regulation of temporary protection in the European Union, including an analysis of the relevant norms of European and national legislation of EU member states, as well as the practice of their application in the context of the Ukrainian crisis. To achieve the research goal, methods such as legal analysis, through which a detailed analysis of Directive 2001/55/EC on temporary protection and other relevant regulatory documents was carried out, were used. Using the comparative analysis method, a comparison was made of the national legislation of different EU member states to identify common features and differences in approaches to providing temporary protection. The results of the study can be used for further research into such issues as the long-term consequences of temporary protection for EU migration policy; the integration of beneficiaries of temporary protection into the labor market of EU member states; and the problems of the return of beneficiaries of temporary protection to their countries of origin after the end of the war.

A bioguided identification of the phytotoxic compounds of the Brachiaria ruziziensis L. on the weed species Euphorbia heterophylla L. was conducted. From the butanolic fraction of B. ruziziensis it was separated an active subfraction (Subfraction III) that was demonstrated to contain the steroidal saponins. These substances were determined as protodioscin and protonedioscin by 1H and 13C NMR analysis. b-ethyl glucose was also identified, but it represented only 2.4% of the subfraction III. The effects of pure protodioscin were very similar to those caused by Fraction III or saponins isolated from B. ruziziensis. Root length was the most sensitive variable and the germination indices were little modified. The calculated ID50 for primary root inhibition was 390.1 ± 112.7 µg/ml and 359.5 ± 44.6 µg/ml for saponins and pure protodioscin, respectively. b-ethyl glucose did not cause significant modifications in the germination and seedling growth when assayed at a concentration range of 100 to 1000 µg/ml. These results suggest that protodioscin isomers are the causative compounds of the inhibitory effects on growth of E. heterophylla. These compounds are possibly involved in the reported ability of B. ruziziensis in reducing the emergence and the growth of weed species when used as a cover plants. This finding confirms the potential of the utilization of B. ruziziensis for weed management options in the field.

Introduction: Self-care refers to the set of actions that a person performs with their body and their environment, in order to regulate internal or external factors that are perceived to be related to one's own health.Objective: To learn about sexual health self-care in people with vulva who have sexual practices with other people with vulva in the city of Rosario during the year 2023.Materials and Methods: Quantitative, observational, descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective study. Duration of the study was 6 months, in the city of Rosario. The study population consisted of women who had had sex with other women, over 18 years of age, regardless of their sexual orientation and who went to the squares and parks of the city of Rosario during the study period. A 30-item instrument was applied. The data were analyzed with SPSS software.Results: 89% were cis females with a mean age of 30.94 ± 8.18 years (min.18; max. 57). Forty-two percent identified as heterosexual and 30% as lesbian. In the romantic relationship 29% (n=51) were in a monogamous relationship, 25% in an open relationship, 21% without an affective relationship but with sexual partner(s), 15% in a polyamorous relationship and 9% without an affective relationship, nor sexual partner(s). Of these, 84% had sexual relations exclusively with persons with vulva and 16% exclusively with persons with a penis. Ninety-seven percent had had sexual intercourse, and the mean age of sexual intercourse was 16.77 ± 2.77 years. Sixty-two percent reported the use of sex toys, 70% have practiced tribadism and 66% have practiced oral sex. 65% referred to have never used STI preventive methods in such practices, 34% sometimes use them and 1% always use preventive methods.Conclusions: The study found that the average age of sexual debut was 16 years, the population was sexually active with use of sex toys, oral sex and tribadism. It was observed that the population studied does not make adequate use of condoms during sexual intercourse as a method of protection against sexually transmitted diseases, based on the lack of information about these diseases by health care providers.

Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration (Narmd), Monitoring the Effectiveness of a Stable Treatment: A Prospective Study
Authors: Kasa Katerina , Lutaj Pajtim 
Published: December 2024

This study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of a stable treatment, with relevant and long-term results, in patients diagnosed with neovascular AMD. The data were collected by analyzing the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) images at the first visit and the last visit after two years of follow-up. This study compares the functional and structural visual results between patients who did not regularly follow their planned intravitreal anti-VEGF injection intervals with those who did. Currently, there are no studies in our country that certify the correct management of treatment for nAMD patients or optimal eye care services to support them. This is important for creating evidence and strategies for better treatment and monitoring of patients with advanced neovascular AMD. This study identifies the role of correctly adhering to treatment for maintaining optimal BCVA and the quality of life of people at risk of progression to late AMD. The group of patients with nAMD who did not adhere correctly to the planned intravitreal anti-VEGF injections had worse functional and structural results in BCVA and OCT. We recommend emphasizing the importance of maintaining continuity of care for neovascular AMD patients to achieve better results in BCVA and quality of life.

Published: December 2024

Background. Pain is considered a subjective, unpleasant, multidimensional experience, which includes different emotional, affective or cognitive components, related to actual or potential tissue damage. Pain is the most common symptom that patients report after surgical procedures. Studies show that the prevalence of postoperative pain can reach up to 80%. Aim. Evaluation of the level of postoperative pain and its association with socio-demographic characteristics. Materials and Methods. This is a crossectional study carried out at University Hospital Centers, Tirana, during the period 2022 – 2023. American Pain Society Patient Outcome Questionnaire (APS-POQ-R)1995/2010 for “Evaluation of Postoperative Pain management”, revised in 2010 was used for data collection. Pain assessment was conducted 6-24 hours after the surgical procedure. Results. A total of 237 patients with a mea age 49.5 (±18.9) yrs and range 18 to 88 years were interviewed. 45.6 % were females and 54.4% males. The prevalence of POP was 79.3%, 95CI (74.2.-83.7). A significant association of pain with gender, agegroup, level of education was found. Conclusion. Acute pain management continues to be a very serious clinical issue. It was concluded that the age, gender, level of education, civil status and residence of patients were significant factors in POP. In order to achieve a more effective management of POP, other studies should be carried out in the future, to evaluate in a more real way, the association of demographic data with pain after surgery.

Building Bridges to European Integration: Albania and Kosovo's Joint Efforts in the Balkans
Authors: Lusha Evelina 
Published: December 2024

This study aims to look at the joint efforts of Albania and Kosovo in enhancing European integration within the Balkans. It tries to figure out, through an analysis of the joint programs and strategic partnerships, the extent to which these initiatives help them realize their shared goal of EU membership and regional stability. Prior Work: Previous scholarship has looked mostly into individual tracks on how to integrate into Europe by analyzing the political, economic, and social reforms undertaken by Albania and Kosovo separately. Other studies have tried to identify challenges and opportunities for the Western Balkans in this regard of EU integration. Yet little is known about cooperative work between Albania and Kosovo, and what it means for the wider regional context represents a gap in this literature. Key Findings: The two countries have managed, as shown by these findings, to build such a framework of cooperation together with dimensions being diplomatic, economic, and even cultural. Cross-border infrastructure projects, policy reforms, and joint diplomacy as well as collaboration in regional and international initiatives have played a bigger part in lifting up their prospects for integration. The paper shows how important it is for these two countries to ally strategically in tackling common challenges, like issues of political instability within their territories, fostering economic development programs, and social cohesion that make up the key tenets upon which EU membership is anchored.Value: This paper is therefore important in providing an insightful analysis into how synergistic cooperation between Albania and Kosovo can be used to enhance European integration prospects. It underscores the role bilateral cooperation can play in ensuring regional stability on the path to EU membership. The paper provides insight into how other aspiring member states from the Balkans can use cooperative strategies to inform the broader European integration agenda from a disadvantaged region. Future Longitudinal studies should be done to assess the impact that such joint initiatives by Albania and Kosovo could have on their EU integration trajectories over time. Comparative analyses with other regional Balkan partnerships could give a more nuanced knowledge of best practices and lessons learned. Moreover, investigating how international organizations and external stakeholders support these bilateral agreements will further make a lot of sense in the academic discussion on European integration in the region.

Published: December 2024

Today, many people aim to create businesses to increase income, but only a small number of them achieve the desired success. The main causes of failure include a lack of financial resources, poor performance and a lack of innovation, which often lead businesses toward bankruptcy. Businesses in Albania play a key role in the country's economic development, contributing significantly to the state budget. Performance measurement is a key indicator of a business's success, showing whether it can generate revenue and grow. In recent years, performance measurement has expanded to include non-financial indicators, such as employee performance and customer satisfaction. This study examines the importance of performance measurement in Albanian businesses, analysing whether adequate attention is given to ensuring long-term success.
