Characterization of CD4+ T cell subsets in a stressed mouse model during Chlamydia muridarum genital infection. Katrina Davis, Tesfaye Belay. Department of Applied Sciences and Mathematics.
Chlamydia genital infection caused by Chlamydia trachomatis is highly prevalent in low socioeconomic status populations. Whether stress is a risk factor for the high incidence of chlamydia remains to be investigated. CD4+ T cells are the major immune cells that fight chlamydia genital infection; however, the dynamics of CD4+ T cells during stressful conditions and chlamydia infection are unclear. The profiles of CD4+ T cell signature cytokines: T helper 1 (IL-12, Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), Thelper2 (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13), Thelper17(IL-17), and Treg (IL-10). Mice were stressed for 5 minutes daily for 21 days and infected with 1x 105 IFU/ml of Chlamydia muridarum intravaginally. Non-stressed mice were infected as controls. Mice were sacrificed 7 days post-infection, the spleen and lymph nodes were harvested, and T cells were purified and proliferated for 72 h. Determination of the levels of cytokines in culture supernatants of T cells from stressed and non-stressed mice are underway for poster presentation.

Authors: Gaeschlin Nívea Maria Portugal , Leão José Antonio Carneiro 
Published: April 2024

Esse estudo se justifica pela motivação na análise de processos e ações que estruturam condições para a realização de práticas pedagógicas inovadoras em instituições públicas de ensino. A atuação inovadora do professor ou prática pedagógica inovadora parte da essência do lugar geograficamente vivido em movimento cíclico de busca, compreensão, consolidação, avaliação e reconhecimento do cotidiano escolar. O percurso formativo docente é uma ação intencional, que possibilita a reinvenção profissional mediante uma crítica revisitação epistemológica, política e social de práticas pedagógicas vividas e experienciadas. O lugar da formação docente é o lugar antropológico conceituado por Marc Augé (2012) como resultado de toda possibilidade de caracterização das relações que resultam na criação de identidade e de coletividade. O Observatório Rede i-9 é um ambiente digital criado coletivamente e apresenta- se como um entrelugar na formação docente de profissionais municipais, por uma estrutura e organização pensadas para despertar o(s) lugar(es) na ajuda à emancipação do pensar docente. Esse estudo tem como objetivo principal apresentar aspectos da relação existente entre o processo formativo continuado em serviço de docentes do ensino fundamental, anos iniciais, e a ocorrência de produção inovadora em suas práticas em espaços educativos, a partir da rede pública de ensino da cidade de Dias d’Ávila-Ba. A metodologia utilizada tem como base a netnografia ou etnografia virtual, por oportunizar estudos sobre comunidades, suas características, suas percepções, interpretações e dados de forma on-line. Entre os resultados diversos aspectos foram levantados como relevantes pelos docentes para reorganização dos processos formativos realizados no município. Na consideração desses aspectos o órgão/comissão responsável poderá proporcionar Encontros Formativos ou Processos Formativos de maneira mais motivadora na participação dos docentes; potencializadora de práticas pedagógicas com melhorias para as aprendizagens e com utilização de processos e ferramentos mais eficientes aos resultados.

Published: April 2024

Este artigo é fruto dos projetos, entre outros, “Aprendizagem cidadã no contexto da cidadania-humanização: o papel da Análise Crítica do Discurso em prol dos grupos vulneráveis” (PVD7353-2019) e “Estudo da série crisálida I e II: apontamentos críticos da representação discursiva de uma sociedade excludente em relação aos surdos” (PID11002-2022/PID12112-2023), desenvolvidos com bolsa de iniciação científica do CNPq e com bolsistas voluntários. Como aportes teóricos utilizamos os Estudos Críticos do Discurso/Análise Crítica do Discurso (Lira; Alves, 2018; Pedrosa, 2024), transdisciplinarmente conversando com os Estudos Surdos (Sá, 2002; Souza, 2014; Perlin, 2016) e com a Luta por Reconhecimento (Honneth, 2009). O trabalho tem por objetivo identificar projetos solidários que consolidam ações afirmativas de e para a comunidade surda no contexto de valorização da sua língua, cultura e identidade. Para atender ao objetivo, situamos esta pesquisa em uma abordagem qualitativa, de natureza aplicada, com procedimento bibliográfico e objetivos descritivos e explicativos (Cesário; Flauzino; Mejia, 2020). Ao atender este objetivo, a pesquisa nos conduziu a refletir que o reconhecimento de “ser” surdo passa pela compreensão das esferas da vida social: linguística, identitária e cultural. Nesse sentido, as ações afirmativas, com uma representatividade forte para os surdos, se tornaram o campo de luta em defesa de sua língua, sua cultura e suas identidades.

Internationalization and Globalization in the Field of Education
Authors: Dedej Arian , Medıcı Lorenzo 
Published: April 2024

The internationalization of educational programs is an important commitment that aims to develop an ever more dynamic and competitive knowledge to face the challenges of globalization and rapid social transformation by finding the right balances, critical and conscientious skills. Students, lecturers and the territory benefit greatly from the implementation of a system which favors the exchange of knowledge, didactic and scientific experiences. To strengthen the internationalization of the educational offer and the mobility of students means to intensify the international exchanges of students and at the same time to strengthen the international attractiveness of study courses with well-oriented initiatives. The era of globalization, understood as the fall of barriers in space and time that limited communication at the economic, institutional and social level, has produced important processes of transformation and change in educational institutions. The latter, accepting the challenges of globalization, have gradually expanded their educational commitment beyond national borders, giving the formation components, approaches, strategies and internationalizing tools, with the aim of favouring the full understanding of the students in one dimension more and more global opportunities to benefit and the role to play in the global society.

Business and Academia Collaboration: Empowering Internationalization in Albania
Authors: Qejvanı Olta , Gjipali Dorina 
Published: April 2024

Global and European challenges have shift dynamic expectations from universities, going beyond ‘centers of knowledge’, towards the urge of producing sustainable research and innovation that impact communities. Despite of taking care of ‘producing’ professionalism, there is a strong need inside academia to ask business collaboration in order to catch up the new developments and be competitive in the trade market. Positioning the field of research into the session of Educational Globalization ‘Higher Education Internalization, curricula and methodologies’ is a possibility to find out current and updated resources or even new policy strategies on how to adapt synergies into the terms of globalization and European challenges ahead for academia. This research aims to explore and analyze the current European practice of collaboration between business sector and universities and offer proper alternatives to be embraced from Albanian universities activity. Based on the findings of European Commission, there are less universities (more than half) rather than business organizations that demonstrate cooperation (72 %). Does this mean that business sector is more willing to get closer with academia? It is courageous that both universities and business sector demonstrate more than average the will to smartly collaborate within this dimension. It is interesting that among all the high number of legal acts and policy level documents of EU, there is none that explicitly treats UBC (University Business Cooperation) as a specific policy or issue. Having a specific policy document into EU level that can envisage this pattern, will strongly put this issue into the proper spotlight of the understanding and potentially could encourage both of the structures to raise proper attention to UBC. Also, having a separate document on UBC can produce sustainable impact, bringing this not as a sporadic solution, but prompting sustainable results for business, academia and the community. The vague position of UBC into European policy making is not in the same line with successful histories of European universities that have established on their own initiative different level of collaboration. High-ranking universities in Europe have a lot to learn from good models and practices in this area. There is no need to wait for the national, regional or European document that can treat collaboration between university and academia. Universities can be the first initiators of getting closer to business sector in order to strengthen capacity building, research and innovation. Despite of this context, there are a lot of good examples that European universities have established by their own being empowered through business sector connection.

International Instruments for the Principle of Equality
Authors: Velcani Majlinda 
Published: April 2024

The purpose of this paper is to show what are the international instruments for the realization of equality and non-discrimination. The international instruments for the realization of equality and to fight discrimination are always in continuous development, being harmonized with the initiatives of different countries. These initiatives not only individually but also in joint coordination. The concept of equality and freedom has evolved enormously in the last decades, but it still remains a present problem. The aim is that these principles are not only foreseen in international conventions or other legal acts, but to be realized in practice. The main objectives of the paper are: 1. To give a broader picture of all international instruments for the realization of equality, 2. To show what measures are taken to realize the principle of equality. Methodology: for the realization of the paper, I have based the collection of information from secondary sources, such as various authors who have spoken about equality and the most important international instruments that sanction the principle of equality. Qualitative methods have been used and the collected information will be analyzed, drawing the relevant recommendations and conclusions. First, what equality is will be determined, then continuing with the interpretation of international acts for the realization of equality and protection from discrimination.

The Right to Work in International and National Law in the Time of Globalization
Authors: Gera Anton 
Published: April 2024

Work is not a commodity like all other commodities, but it is an emanation of the human person. For this reason, its value is higher than all other things. With the beginning of industrialization, in addition to state measures for the protection and education of work, the workers joining forces in mutual unions have done everything to oppose the inferiority of the labor factor to capital. It should be emphasized that the right to work is not a subjective right that you can claim in court in case of non-realization, but it is a principle that the State through policies must be committed to create conditions for everyone to be employed. In the time of economic and financial globalization that today's society is experiencing, the right to work is not regulated only in national legislation, but also in international legislation and collective contracts. In this work, the sources of international labor law approved by the ILO, the UN and some regional organizations such as the Council of Europe and the European Union will be explained first. It is very important to know the international sources for labor law because they occupy a privileged position in the hierarchy of sources of law in the Republic of Albania, which are often overlooked by law enforcement officers. After exhausting the sources of international labor law, the national sources will be treated with a focus on our Constitution. A special place in this work will be occupied by trade union freedom and the right to strike according to domestic law, which have historically represented the basic means to protect the rights of women workers. At the end of the report in this conference, we will briefly dwell on the impact of globalization on labor law.

Marriage and the Obligations Arising from It
Authors: Buda Dhulı Brıkena , Dhulı Egı 
Published: April 2024

Marriage, as an institution of law, is based on the moral and legal equality of spouses, on the feeling of mutual love, respect and understanding, as the basis of family unity. Healthy family and marital relationships contribute to the elimination of gender stereotypes. It all starts in the family and is transmitted throughout society. For this reason, rightly, if we want to know how much a society respects the principles of non-discrimination and gender equality, it is very effective to carry out this analysis also for the family. Both marriage and the family, as very important institutions, enjoy the special protection of the state. The general principles that pervade these institution s are: i) the principle of reciprocity of rights and obligations ii) the principle of equality in rights and obligations iii) putting the interests first: of children, of marriage, of the family iv) reciprocity: in loyalty, for moral help, for material help, for cooperation in the interests of the family and coexistence. Marriage is a legal and social coexistence between two different people whose responsibilities and rights are defined by law and social traditions. Couples marry for a variety of reasons, including love, cohabitation, and sometimes economic or social reasons. Equality between spouses is accepted as a rule social concept and as a principle of family law. The principle of equality and non-discrimination as well as that of violence in marital and family matters is one of the main points in the paper.

International Labor Relations
Authors: Çela Radovan 
Published: April 2024

International Labor Relations (ILR) encapsulates the multifaceted interactions and dynamics shaping the global workforce's landscape. In an increasingly interconnected world, characterized by globalization, technological advancements, and economic interdependence, labor relations extend beyond national boundaries, influencing and being influenced by various factors. This abstract provides a succinct overview of the key themes, challenges, and opportunities within the realm of International Labor Relations. The study of ILR encompasses diverse aspects, including cross-border labor migration, multinational corporations' employment practices, labor standards, and international trade agreements' impact on employment. Central to ILR is the examination of the interactions between governments, employers, workers, and international organizations, as they navigate complex socio-economic and political contexts. Globalization has profoundly shaped ILR, fostering the integration of economies and labor markets across countries. As a result, labor issues increasingly transcend national borders, posing both opportunities and challenges for workers, employers, and policymakers. Technological advancements, such as automation and digitalization, further complicate labor dynamics, influencing employment patterns and skills requirements on a global scale. Challenges within ILR include ensuring decent work conditions, protecting workers' rights, and addressing inequalities in labor markets. Issues such as informal employment, gender disparities, and the informalization of labor pose significant hurdles to achieving inclusive and sustainable growth. Moreover, the rise of global supply chains has raised concerns about labor exploitation and the enforcement of labor standards across borders. International organizations play a crucial role in shaping ILR through the development and implementation of labor standards, conventions, and guidelines. Institutions like the International Labour Organization (ILO) provide platforms for dialogue and cooperation among governments, employers, and workers to address labor-related challenges and promote social justice. In conclusion, International Labor Relations are complex and dynamic, influenced by globalization, technological advancements, and economic forces. Addressing the diverse challenges within ILR requires collaborative efforts from governments, employers, workers, and international organizations to ensure fair and inclusive labor practices and promote sustainable development globally.

Digital Innovation Hubs Transforming Business and Marketing Collaboration
Authors: Sotirofski Ilindena , Kraja Gentiana 
Published: April 2024

In the fast-evolving landscape of business and marketing, Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs) have emerged as transformative catalysts, reshaping collaboration dynamics. The innovation hub, like incubators, R&D labs, and impact hubs, designates a physical space dedicated to fostering innovation within an organization or community. Defining an innovation hub proves challenging, as it is often linked to an open co-working space with a stylish design and tools for creative thinking. However, it extends beyond being merely a physical space for idea generation. A well-designed physical space facilitates in-person collaboration, while a digital platform enables global collaboration, transcending geographic constraints. Innovation hubs embody a distinctive entrepreneurial culture marked by a global perspective and values that often prioritize social behavior. Particularly in regions with conservative politics and cultural norms, these hubs can function as a secure environment for embracing culturally unfamiliar behaviors and mindsets. A Digital Innovation Hub (DIH) serves as an all-encompassing structure, empowering organizations to enhance competitiveness through the optimization of processes and the innovation of products and services using innovative digital technologies.
