Comparison between manual and automatic inclinometers. Impact du fonctionnement du barrage hydroélectrique sur la stabilité des pentes. Comparaison entre inclinomètres manuels et automatiques. Ani Xhagolli - Kosho Statkraft/ Albania Thomas Schönborn Statkraft/ Norway ABSTRACT: Inclinometers are widely used for measuring horizontal displacements in ground as well as in structural elements. In particular the observation of natural creeping slopes demands inclinometer measurements of high accuracy. It is therefore essential to assess the reliability of inclinometer measurements in a systematic way. This contribution deals with the examination and determination of accuracy and precision concerning inclinometer measurements. This paper presents one case for understanding and interpreting slope inclinometers, manual and automatic. Inclinometer measurements will be discussed based on the actual impact of a hydropower reservoir on an old and still active landslide. The case is an approx 0.5 km2 large slope in the Albanian mountain range. The slope has a history of slow creeping, requiring re-building of houses every decade.

  • The Violence Against Children in Elbasan District, Albania
    ISSN 2039-2117 (online) Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences Vol 6 No 2 S1 ISSN 2039-9340 (print) MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy March 2015 The Violence Against Children in Elbasan District, Albania Darina Çoni ( Kacollja) Lagjia nr 8 Rruga Aleksander Goga & Mitrush Kuteli, Pallati ‘’Turkeshi’’ Durres, Albania [email protected] Doi:10.5901/mjss.2015.v6n2s1p172 Abstract This maltreatment against children occurs even inside their houses, from their family members and especially from their parents. Home at first glance seems calm and a harmonious place, but it is not that way because home is the place where conflicts happen, and they may even turn into violence. This situation is proved to be true even by the study realized in this district. In order to realize this study, two questionnaires were filled by 1200 persons included of different ages such as 13-23 years old and 18-60 years old. These questionnaires were delivered in these cities: Elbasan, Peqin, Gramsh and Librazhd. The factors that have an influence on the violence against children are the patriarchal mentality, the low economic state, communication, the usage of alcoholic drinks, etc. One of the main reasons of violence in the Elbasan district is Mediterranean patriarchal mentality, which is more widespread in the rural areas. Keywords: Violence, children, patriarchal, violence, Elbasani district. 1. Introduction This study is based on the violence against children in Elbasan Region and for its realization it is used the quantitative research method. There are used two different surveys with questions in order to help each other: the first survey is for people who are over 23 years old and the other survey for people up to 23 years old.

  • Politicization of Education and Culture Through Media in Elbasan County During the ’60 Elvin Elezi
    Politicization of education and culture through media in Elbasan County during the ’60 Elvin Elezi Abstract The 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. Keywords: politicization, communism, media, education, culture Elvin Elezi, PhD candidate, Department of History, High-school “Sami Frasheri”, [email protected] Thesis, no.2, 2015 313 Elvin Elezi Introduction The development of education and culture is an essential issue for the entire human society and especially for the so-called small nations.
