Politicization of education and culture through media in Elbasan County during the ’60
Get PDFThe journal “Mësuesi” as an official organ of Education and Culture Ministry, since its first publish, besides other topics has also put an emphasis in reflecting the state ideology in educational and cultural institutions. This ideology, which came as a directive from the state leader, Enver Hoxha, who in his speech for educational reform, would declare: “We are making the educational reformation because it is necessary in building the socialism in our country. It will serve for a better education and preparation of youth for life and other tasks, in order to build a socialist and communist society”. This was cited in “Mësuesi” newspaper on 9th February 1962. A part of this general feature of life in the country, were even the educational and cultural institutions in Elbasan County. During this period a big importance was given to the fact that the actual task was the political propaganda in schools and cultural institutions (houses of culture), by using even other forms of media, such as: “Zëri i Popullit” and “Bashkimi”, which were official newspapers of the Party of Labor and its tools. At least it is referred is this way in the weekly “Mësuesi” during the `60. In this way, the media didn’t just spread its editorial line, but at the same time it suggested other media of the same line or even more radical
Agnia Desnickaja’s contribution to the study of transitional speeches in Albanian language
Get PDFThe main object of Russian albanologist Agnia Desnickaja’s monograph “Albanian language and its dialects” is the study of Albanian language dialects, their contemporary division and classification and the relations with geographic and socio-historical range of development of Albanian language. Among other things, she draws an analytic review of dialectic characteristics in the speeches of transitional type, which form a streak of regions in the south stream of Shkumbin river (an indicator of boundary between gheg and tosk dialectic regions) known as the zone of transitional speeches. Distinctive characteristics, typical dialectic elements and their interlacement in these transitional speeches are analysed and classified by the author based on assessments of researches of Albanian dialectologists, such as J. Gjinari, Q. Haxhihasani, M. Çeliku, also persuasively reasoned by the author herself. Careful and profound research of these speeches done by Desnickaja helped not only to identify gheg and tosk characteristic features localized in these areas, but also to study the most complex occurrences related to their formation that reflect historic, cultural and social developments which are decisive for Albanian dialects themselves
The space of sensational news and hate speech news in the Albanian written press
Get PDFAfter crossing the early stages of transition in Albania, the main assembly in the press was placed by political news, it seems that this relay was already taken by conflictual news, as well called the “sensational” news. Press is turned to the news that sells more. The audiences of written media, but also the media in general are more interested in the conflictive news, paying attention to actuality, which is directly related to their lives, giving a second importance to political news. Newspaper editors and executives recognizing the new trend of their audience have given more space and weight conflicting news that tends toward the negative, but that makes sensation turning again the newspaper to the old postulate “The bad news is good news “. Regarding to a still fragile democracy in Albania, this phenomenon raises the larger question whether newsrooms of newspapers have faded the well-known relationship media- politics, paying more attention and importance to the media – audience relationship? Have the models of media altered over the years of democratization? The answer to these questions will be drawn as a result of the measurement of space occupied by these two fields in the pages of main newspapers in Albania throughout a 2-month monitoring. Also, as an outcome of a comprehensive analysis of journalistic discourse in the political and actual affairs
Performance features of the Albanian speaking web radios
Get PDFAlbanian speaking internet radios is the media units, that about a decade ago have eliminated state borders, have exceeded the limits that newsrooms have for the expansion of the transmission frequency and coverage zone, becoming accessible on any of the points of the globe where Albanians live and work. Opening an online radio solution is not only driven by the lack of frequencies for wireless transmissions, or reaction against the effects of economic crisis, but it is also in synchrony with the technological developments in the media industry and expansion of the internet in a wide scale. Internet radios promote decentralization in the broadcasting market and with the trend of 3G and 4G standards they come more and more to the features a radio like the others available since smart phones started existing, without having the need to be equipped with a dedicated receiver – one of the problems with the economic and financial features that has slowed down the process of transition from analog broadcasting to digital audio. Radio newsrooms are becoming more and more in favor of the dual access to their products; in the classic version, as well as through online services in the virtual space. This is a forced relocation of many factors inside and outside the premises of the radio station, technological momentum on one of the aspect, increasingly large infiltration of the internet or the limitless race performed by the telecommunication industry with the numerous offers of the mobile telephony and on the other, associated with the above, is the pressure that comes from the modification of the audience behavior. Considering that the media customer “delves” more to informative and entertaining content on the virtual space, then the radio owners and managers maneuver by serving a portion of the product in the online format. According to David Hendy, internet radio presence creates a new dimension, since its audience from local becomes global. “This offers radio companies the chance to build a global presence and in some cases perhaps a global brand”.
Multiculturalism and the Albanian- speaking media in Macedonia: Modern global models and local issues
Get PDFThis paper focuses on an analysis conducted on two levels. The Albanian media in the multiethnic Macedonia are analyzed in terms of its place in the pan-Albanian media market, which tends to exceed the boundaries that exist between different states and to follow the models of global media. The Albanian media market in Macedonia carries some elements that constitute a special interest for media analysis as it operates in a multicultural social environment, where the concern for the right use of the Albanian language as the second largest official language continues to occupy a good part of the Albanian-speaking media production. This media production from Macedonia is small or not at all present in the Albanian media abroad and therefore the micro-culture of the Albanians of Macedonia, is little known from the Albanian audience abroad. This phenomenon occurs while the Albanian public in Macedonia is a consumer of media production from Albania and from Kosovo. How and why is this partial exchange happening? Is this a cultural or a professional phenomenon? From the methodological point of view, this is an ethnological work based on the ethnography of communication method. This approach enables media production elements as well as elements of information and communication to be analyzed in a close relationship with the cultural context of the society in which the medi
La place des femmes dans les medias francais
Get PDFLa place des femmes dans les médias français est un sujet d’actualité dans la métropole. Pas une semaine ne se passe sans que le sujet ne soit traité d’une façon ou d’une autre : nominations, publications, pétitions, scandales, etc…
Ce choix de sujet n’est donc pas seulement théorique mais s’inscrit dans une réflexion plus large qui existe aujourd’hui au sein de la société française. En effet, la nécessaire reconnaissance du rôle de la femme dans la société française est un processus en cours. Ainsi, ont été accueillies en avril 2015, au sein du Panthéon, temple de la république démocratique française, deux personnalités féminines extraordinaires, Germaine Tillion et Geneviève de Gaulle Anthonioz1. Toutes deux, figures emblématiques de la Résistance face à l’occupation nazie mais plus encore à la résistance dans son acceptation la plus globale.
C’est un exemple symbolique. Nombreux autres pourraient encore être cités.
La réflexion que j’ai mené concernant cette intervention peut s’axer sur deux problématiques plus particulièrement. En effet, lorsque l’on parle de la place des femmes dans les médias que voulons nous dire exactement ? De quoi parle-t-on ? De la place des femmes dans les colonnes des journaux écrit ou web, sur les ondes des radios ou encore sur des images télévisées ? Où faisons nous référence aux femmes journalistes présentes ou non dans les différents médias
The role of teachers in teaching literature
Get PDFThis paper provides review of ideas and research on the role of the teacher in teaching of literature. Literature and language are closely related and this is a fact no one can deny. Literature is constituted by language and it represents one of the most recurrent uses of language. Therefore, the belief that Literature in English helps to improve the students’ scope of reading and their mode of expression is reiterated. Teachers are the link between learners and knowledge. Teachers are the facilitators of learning and the authority to enable students to increase their independent learning
capabilities. Teachers are important actors in the process of learning and they should encourage students to discuss, imagine, read and retell the stories in order to increase their motivation and appreciation of literature
The Approach of Local Firms towards E-banking
Get PDFThe Objective – This paper aims to identify the critical dominant incidents and key instigators that influence usage or lack of usage of e-banking by the business clients. Methodology/Approach – The research at hand utilizes the Grounded Theory of Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss (1967). It also utilizes the
Critical Incident Technique in order to identify the factors that influence on the (dies) satisfaction of the business clients in using the e-banking. For the purpose of this paper, the empirical data were gathered through interviews by using open ended questions. Among 63 interviews with the representatives of the small and medium enterprises (SME), nongovernmental organizations and other business organizations, 23 of those interviews were deemed as invalid for the
purposes of this research, given that they declared that they do not use the e-banking. Findings – The empirical results highlight the need to raise the
consciousness regarding the efficacy and the advantages that e-banking offers to small enterprises; on the other hand, many other enterprises cannot conceive the possibility of running their business without e-banking, given that in the past their personnel spent so much time in traffic, or waiting in line for hours in order to execut
Consumer behavior towards loan interest rates in Kosovo
Get PDFThe main purpose of this study was to study the consumer behavior on the loan interest rates in Kosovo. This study is based on the data collected through direct interviews with consumers who have loans from commercial banks in Kosovo. The results obtained show that 98.1% of respondents think that bank in Kosovo offer loans with high interest rates. Results obtained from respondents indicate that 96.1% of them think that it is reasonable that banks reduce/lower interest rates and offer loans with lower interest rates, while another interesting result shows that it is an opinion that banks have agreements among themselves in order to keep this high rate of interest, 49.1% of respondents are of the same opinion. Commercial banks operating in Kosovo have justified these high rates with the high risk of loan return, but 51.7 % of respondents do not share the same opinion as banks that the risk of return is the reason for high rates of interest, since commercial banks that operate in Kosovo, stand much better that other Balkan countries in bad loan ranking
Biomechanic analysis on the slalom turn speed with top skiers
Get PDFSkiing is accomplished under special racing conditions, including environment (tracks, trails), which has specific characteristics. Studying the techniques of alpine skiing is difficult to be realized under laboratory conditions, therefore the research should be accomplished in conditions that are defined by the environment or the race tracks. In order to determine the effectiveness of the slalom certain passages of tracks which differ in features in slalom races were
selected. In order to have accurate recorded data that represents the slalom technique, speed was selected as the most important biomechanical parameter that characterizes the cinematic space of alpine skiing. With the analysis of the results and statistical processing, the conclusion is that the speed in given stages of the curve of slalom changes
