Mediation as an Alternative of Criminal Case Resolution in Kosovo Juvenile Criminal Proceedings
No full textMediation is a law institute which enables alternative resolution of a criminal case between the subjects of law outside of court. It may be applicable except in criminal proceedings in which are adjudicated adults perpetrators of criminal offences, also in juvenile criminal proceedings. Through application of this institute is aimed to help the parties (to minor and the injured party) to achieve the resolution of a criminal case in the most functional manner and in accordance with their best interests. The importance of mediation is diverse. It effects in reducing the number of court cases awaiting resolution, reducing public expenditures, raising the level of social responsibility, educating citizens with the feeling of seeking forgiveness and compensation of damage, as well as cooperation with criminal procedure bodies, eliminating cases of vigilantism etc. Mediation is constituted of numerous characteristics which make it a “sui generis” institute in criminal case resolution alternatives.Modest results of this scientific paper indicate that this institute in Kosovo courts and prosecutions concerning juvenile criminal proceedings is applicable in a very few cases. Causes of this situation may refer to the fact of not knowing the advantages of applying this institution by juvenile judges and prosecutors, but also due to the fact this institute has similarities with diversity measures, which are more preferred to be imposed against juveniles.</jats:p

CORRUPTION IN THE FIELD OF TENDERING IN KOSOVO
Get PDFKosovo as many world countries is facing numerous challenges such as: organized crime,
corruption generally, including corruption in the field of tendering. These harmful p henomena are
causing dissatisfaction among citizens, especially due to the fact that the punishment of their
perpetrators is indicating stagnation and other big uncertainties. Corruption in the field of tendering
in Kosovo is manifested in many different forms. The consequences of corruption in the field of
tendering, though of different natures, mainly dominate those of economic -social character. This
consequence demonstrates the main reflections on the state budget damage and in the loss of interest
of international and local businesses to invest in Kosovo. The consequence of corruption continues to
be also the flaws segment of country integration into relevant institutions of international character.
Of course the biggest concern for the country with the weakest economy in Europe and the youngest
population is the fact of not punishing corrupted people who belong to state and political high profile.
Evident concerns are noticed also regarding the punishment of medium profile officials, which when
accused minimum punishments are imposed to them. Therefore, in public and professional opinion is
created the perception that Kosovo responsible state institutions, despite the assistance coming from
EULEX, are powerless to win the fight against this social gangrene. For some of the substantive
aspects of this fight will be discussed within this short scientific paper. During the preparation of this
paper I have used historical-legal, dogmatic, comparison and theoretical analysis methods

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
