Prof. Dr. Shefik Osmani – Mendimtari i shquar i pedagogjisë shqiptare
Get PDFAt this article we target two activities of honorable Professor:
1. “Forever with Shefik”- a monography by Urti Osmani;
2. “About seven publications” by Prof. Dr. Shefik Osmani.
First activity: on the first anniversary of death of Prof. Dr. Shefik, his wife Urti Osmani writes a book mainly about the family life of Professor. I met Professor when I was student. He was Head master and also taught us Pedagogy Teaching methods and endless studies shed light of his high scientific and pedagogical standards. The book consisting of 286 pages reflects the continuity of serious work, full of dignity done by Prof. Osmani brought with outmost care by his wife and collaborator Urti Osmani. We are convinced -said the author- that who lives after the death belongs to history. The book contains seven chapters reflecting his responsibility on pedagogical and life phenomena. It comes after forty books already published and highlights the emblematic diapason of honorable Professor. It includes particularly his many of his journeys after 90’ on his communications with distinguished world personalities and institutions. Those include: Kosova, Italy, Rumania, Macedonia, Turkey, Switzerland, Germany, Holland, Iran, U.A.E, Belgium, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Sweden. Highly appreciated is also the wisdom of some personalities about Prof. Osmani and high linguistic and cultural standards of the author Urti Osmani.
Second activity: out of forty publications of Prof. Dr. Shefik Osmani, seven of them are cited on: “Assessment on Prof. Dr. Shefik Osmani”, Tirana, 2014, page 384.Në këtë artikull janë objekt dy veprimtari të profesorit të nderuar:
1. Botimi “Përjetë me Shefikun”, monografi me autore Urti Osmani ,“Mësuese e Popullit”;
2. Rreth shtatë botimeve të Prof. dr. Shefik Osmani.
Veprimtaria e parë: me rastin e 1-vjetorit të ndarjes nga jeta të Prof. Dr. Shefik Osmani, bashkëshortja e të ndjerit, Urtie Osmani (“Mësuese e Popullit”), realizon librin objekt kryesisht për jetën familjare të profesorit. Jam njohur me profesorin në bankat e shkollës ku ai ishte drejtor dhe na zhvillonte edhe lëndën e pedagogjisë. Mësimëdhënia si edhe realizimet e shumta studimore e botuese të tij, dëshmojnë për një nivel të lartë pedagogjik dhe shkencor. Libri objekt, prej 286 faqesh, shënon vazhdimësinë e punës serioze dhe dinjitoze të prof. Osmanit, të cilën me patos të lartë e pasqyron autorja, bashkëshortja, njëherësh bashkëpuntorja e ngushtë e Profesorit, Urtie Osmani. -“Jemi të bindur, - thotë autorja, - se kush jeton pas vdekjes i përket historisë”. Libri analizohet prej shtatë kapitujsh të cilët dëshmojnë për gjerësinë dhe gjithëpërfshirjen kryesisht për dukuritë jetësore dhe ato pedagogjike. Në vazhdën e dyzetë librave të botuara, monografia objekt e përfytyron edhe më tej diapazonin emblematik të profesorit të nderuar. Këtu përfshihen posacërisht edhe udhëtimet e tij të shumta pas viteve ’90, duke komunikuar me personalitete dhe instituticione të rëndësishme botërore. Të tilla kanë qenë: Kosova, Italia, Rumania, Maqedonia, Turqia, Zvicra, Gjermania, Hollanda, Irani, Emiratet e Bashkuara Arabe, Belgjika, Arabia Saudite, Egjipti, Suedia. Me vlerësime të mëdha janë edhe urtitë e shfaqura nga disa personalitete për figurën e shquar të Profesor Shefikut, por ashtu edhe për nivelin kulturor e gjuhësor të autores Urtie Osmani.
Veprimtaria e dytë: nga prodhimtaria botuese e dyzetë botimeve të Prof. Dr. Shefik Osmanit, citohen shtatë prej tyre, siç janë: “Vlerësime për Prof. Dr. Shefik Osmanin”, Tiranë, 2014, 384 faqe
Charakterisierung des Mineralokortikoid-Responsiven Elements im EGFR-Promotor
Get PDFNach der klassischen Wirkung des Mineralokortikoid Rezeptors auf die Wasser- und Salzhomöostase wurde u.a. durch zwei klinische Studien, RALES und EPHESUS, auch seine pathologische Wirkung auf das Herz-Kreislauf-System offenkundig. Neben einer Vielzahl von weiteren Faktoren wurde die Interaktion mit dem EGFR postuliert. Eine Steigerung der EGFR Expression durch Aldosteron konnte nachgewiesen werden. Glukokortikoide zeigen diesen Effekt nicht. Ein Glucocorticoid Response Element ist im Promotor des EGFR nicht vorhanden. Zur Identifizierung des Mineralokortikoid-spezifischen Hormone Response Element wurden mit Promotorkonstrukten Reporter Gene Assays durchgeführt. Funktionelle Mineralocorticoid Response Elements (MRE) konnten somit auf zwei Promotorkonstrukte eingegrenzt werden. Eine vergleichende Analyse der DNS der beiden Promotorkonstrukte identifizierte eine 15 Basenpaare umfassende Sequenz, welche sich nur um zwei Basen voneinander unterscheidet. Diese Sequenz stellt möglicherweise ein funktionelles MRE dar.After its classical role of the mineralocorticoid receptor to water- and electrolyt homeostasis, his pathophysiological role to cardiovascular system became also obviously by two clinical studies, the RALES and the EPHESUS. Beside of several other factors interaction with the EGFR was postulated. An increase of EGFR expression via aldosterone was demonstrated. Glucocorticoids does not show this effect. A Glucocorticoid Response Element in the promotor of the EGFR does not exist. For identification of the Mineralocorticoid-specific Hormone Response Element a reporter gene assay was performed with promotor deletion constructs. For the first time it was possible to isolate functional Mineralocorticoid Response Elements in two deletion contructs. A comparative analysis of the DNA of these two deletion contructs identified a DNA sequence of 15 bp, which differentiate itself in only two bases. This sequence represents possibly a functional Mineralocorticoid Response Element.von Kay Trenkman

Get PDFUsing generation approach we examine the genesis and mechanisms in major financial crisis and focus on the recent sub – prime crisis. We believe that in the era of increased financial globalization a reliable approach has to consider besides fundamental factors multiple equilibriums and self – fulfilling character of financial crises. In recent global crisis again financial globalization implemented in periods of high international capital mobility have reputedly produced international banking crises. Progressing integration and increasing sophistication of the product and financial markets brought new forms and more global character of the crises events in the recent sub – prime crisis.financial crisis, sub-prime crisis, financial globalization, international capital, financial market

Lithium transport in crown ether polymers
Get PDFA series of 12-, 13-, and 14-membered crown ether rings bearing polymerisable side-chains has been synthesised. The crown ethers were attached to a methacrylate or acrylate polymerisable group either via a short link (Ring-CH(_2)-O-Polymer) or via a spacer group. Both hydrocarbon and ethylene oxide spacer groups were used, giving structures of the form (Ring-CH(_2)-O-(CH(_2))(_6)-O-Polymer) and (Ring-CH(_2)-O-((CH(_2)CH(_2))(_2)O)-Polymer). The ethylene oxide chain can potentially bind to a Li(^+) dopant ion. The relative Li(+) binding affinity of 12-, 13-, and 14-membered mono- and disubstituted crown ethers has been assessed by variable temperature (^13)c and (^7)Li NMR. The crown ether bearing monomers were polymerised using standard free-radical polymerisation methods to yield amorphous materials whose glass transition temperature (T(_g)) was controlled principally by the nature of the spacer group. On doping with lithium triflate (LiCF(_3)SO(_3)), the polymers exhibit high ionic conductivity. The conductivity was primarily dependent on polymer T(_g), but was also found to be higher for 12-crown-4 based systems than for 13-crown-4 and 14-crown-4 based analogues. This behaviour was consistent with the results of the NMR studies, which showed that Li(^+) exchange occurs more readily between 12-crown-4 rings than 13- or 14-crown-4 rings. The NMR studies also showed that 12-crown-4 systems have a higher tendency to form 2:1 (ring : Li(^+)) complexes. Within a polymer matrix, the presence of 2:1 complexes allows Li(^+) migration via an association-disassociation mechanism, avoiding the high energy intermediate state of a free or weakly bound Li(^+) ion. The greater encapsulation provided by 2:1 complexation may also aid in ion pair separation
