Towards Democratic Consolidation: Understanding Kosovo’s Legal, Political, and Economic Landscape
No full textpermbledhje nga studimet e stafitThis collection of studies provides a comprehensive exploration of Kosovo's legal, political, and social challenges, highlighting the critical issues shaping its state-building process. The research covers a broad range of topics, including governance, the rule of law, minority rights, international relations, economic development, and education. Through an integrated approach, the studies emphasize the importance of aligning national policies with international standards, such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), to ensure inclusive and equitable democratic development. The studies also underscore the significant role of civil society initiatives in local governance, showcasing how grassroots movements can enhance democracy and foster accountability. The examination of the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue sheds light on the complexities of international diplomacy, while research on judicial review stresses the need for an independent judiciary to safeguard political stability. Additionally, the studies on Kosovo's economic and educational systems emphasize the need for ongoing investments in these sectors to address socioeconomic challenges. Insights into labor market dynamics, privatization, and tax policies provide practical lessons for overcoming economic hurdles. Lastly, the studies on voter behavior, educational reforms, and leadership styles in both public and private sectors offer guidance for strengthening democratic institutions and improving public services in Kosovo.
These studies are invaluable resources for students, academics, and policymakers, contributing to Kosovo’s growth as a stable and prosperous democracy

Konsolidimi demokratik i Kosovës, një korpus studimesh nga stafi i administratës publike
Get PDFmateriale mbeshtetese dhe orientuese per studentetKy koleksion studimesh ofron një eksplorim gjithëpërfshirës të sfidave ligjore, politike dhe sociale të Kosovës, duke nënvizuar çështjet kritike që formësojnë procesin e saj të shtetndërtimit. Hulumtimi mbulon një gamë të gjerë temash, duke përfshirë qeverisjen, sundimin e ligjit, të drejtat e pakicave, marrëdhëniet ndërkombëtare, zhvillimin ekonomik dhe arsimin. Nëpërmjet një qasjeje të integruar, studimet theksojnë rëndësinë e përafrimit të politikave kombëtare me standardet ndërkombëtare, të tilla si Objektivat e Zhvillimit të Qëndrueshëm (SDGs), për të siguruar një zhvillim demokratik gjithëpërfshirës dhe të barabartë. Studimet nënvizojnë gjithashtu rolin e rëndësishëm të nismave të shoqërisë civile në qeverisjen vendore, duke treguar se si lëvizjet bazë mund të përmirësojnë demokracinë dhe të nxisin llogaridhënien. Shqyrtimi i dialogut Kosovë-Serbi hedh dritë mbi kompleksitetin e diplomacisë ndërkombëtare, ndërsa hulumtimi mbi shqyrtimin gjyqësor thekson nevojën për një gjyqësor të pavarur për të mbrojtur stabilitetin politik. Përveç kësaj, studimet mbi sistemet ekonomike dhe arsimore të Kosovës theksojnë nevojën për investime të vazhdueshme në këta sektorë për të adresuar sfidat socio-ekonomike. Vështrimet mbi dinamikën e tregut të punës, privatizimin dhe politikat tatimore ofrojnë mësime praktike për tejkalimin e pengesave ekonomike. Së fundi, studimet mbi sjelljen e votuesve, reformat arsimore dhe stilet e lidershipit si në sektorin publik ashtu edhe në atë privat ofrojnë udhëzime për forcimin e institucioneve demokratike dhe përmirësimin e shërbimeve publike në Kosovë.
Këto studime janë burime të paçmueshme për studentët, akademikët dhe politikëbërësit, duke kontribuar në rritjen e Kosovës si një demokraci e qëndrueshme dhe e begatë
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
