It was a long process of amendments including a comprehensive structural, economic, legal, cultural, and social and sports related package. The designing of reforms and institutions was oriented towards political aims and the quickest reforming occurred in less expensive areas. Such orientation resulted as well in consequences to the development of sports in Albania and female teams in particular. The poor organization of several bodies responsible for the development of sports in our country has led to serious consequences on the progress of female sports. The sports clubs in cooperation with the respective federations must draft special inspection programme to identify talents, promote sports values and cooperation with the teachers of physical education and parents so as to raise awareness and encourage as many girls as possible to become part of sports teams and above all orient them towards the proper discipline. Orientation towards the proper discipline is fundamental and it may be done only by the sports specialists who must see the physical, motor, psychic, anthropometric etc development in order to further assess the discipline to which they may be better aligned with.

  • Impact of Importing Foreign Talent on Performance Levels of Local Co-Workers
    IMPACT OF IMPORTING FOREIGN TALENT ON PERFORMANCE LEVELS OF LOCAL CO-WORKERS by J. Alvarez (Universidad Complutense), D. Forrest (University of Salford), I. Sanz (Universidad Complutense), and J. D. Tena (Universidad Carlos III)* May, 2008 Abstract- When skilled labour is imported to work in a creative industry, local workers may benefit, in terms of their own level of skill, through contact with new techniques and practices. European basketball offers an opportunity to investigate the reality of this general claim. For a panel of 47 European countries observed over more than twenty years, we model probability of qualification for, and subsequent performance in, Olympic Tournaments and World and European Championships. We demonstrate that an increase in the number of foreigners in a domestic league tends to generate a subsequent improvement in the performance of the national team (which has to be comprised only of local players). Given that foreign players have such a beneficial impact, we develop a theoretical framework for how a regulator of the sports labour market might take this into account. key words: basketball, migration, spillovers. * We acknowledge financial support from the Consejo Superior de Deportes of Spain. IMPACT OF IMPORTING FOREIGN TALENT ON PERFORMANCE LEVELS OF LOCAL CO-WORKERS 1. Motivation In an era of globalisation of labour markets there are few developed countries where the issue of whether immigration brings net benefits to the host economy does not lie at the heart of political debate. In this paper we focus on skilled immigrants. On the one hand, they may boost national output but, on the other, labour unions argue that they depress wages and/ or reduce employment for their members.

The views and opinions expressed in this report are that of the authors and do not reflect those of the Government of the United Kingdom or the Westminster Foundation for Democracy. Tirana, November 2020 FOREWORD This publication deals with a historic overview of the civic movements in Albania after ‘90s, provides a summary of movements in other countries, and dwells into the current landscape of these movements by more specifically analyzing only six of the current movements. The aim has been to look into their capacities, membership, activity level and to assess whether there is a possibility for them to mobilize support and trigger change into the democratization process in Albania. An important part of this report was to survey and measure citizen’s perception of accepting and following these movements. To note here is the fact that the current pre-election phase is a very dynamic one with various developments such as the emerging of new movements and/or political parties or ceasing of other ones. On one side, the public faith in politics and political structures has been eroded in the last years, and on the other side, the citizen’s activism has been fragmented in the best case.

  • Environmental Impacts Assessment of Chromium Minings in Bulqiza Area, Albania
    ISSN 2411-958X (Print) European Journal of September-December 2017 ISSN 2411-4138 (Online) Interdisciplinary Studies Volume 3, Issue 4 Environmental Impacts Assessment of Chromium Minings in Bulqiza Area, Albania Elizabeta Susaj Enkelejda Kucaj Erald Laçi Department of Environment, Faculty of Urban Planning and Environment Management (FUPEM), University POLIS, Tirana, Albania Lush Susaj Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, Faculty of Agriculture and Environment, Agricultural University of Tirana, Albania Abstract Bulqiza District is the largest chromium source, ranked fourth in the world for chrome reserves. It lays in the north-eastern part of Albania, 330-1800 m a.s.l, with 728 km² area, between 41o30’43.1N and 20o14’56.21E. There are 136 entities with chromium extraction activity and around the city of Bulqiza (2.6 km² and 13000 inhabitants), there are 33 entities. The aim of the study was the identification of the environmental state and environmental impact assessment of chromium extraction (chromite mining) and giving recommendations to minimize the negative effects of this activity. Field observations, questionnaires, chemical analysis of soil and water, meetings and interviews with central and local institutions as well as with residents were used for the realization of the study. The obtained results showed that chromium extraction causes numerous irreversible degradation of the environment in the Bulqiza area, such as the destruction of surface land layers and erosion, destruction of flora and fauna, soil and water pollution, health problems, unsustainable use and reduction of chromium reserves, etc. The inert waste that emerges after the chromium partition is discharged to the earth surface without any regularity, covering the surface of the soil and flora, leading to irreversible degradation of the environment.
