The use of polluted water has a direct impact on human health and cause long-term consequences. The longest and most polluted river in Kosovo is the Sitnica, a 90 km long river with its source located near the village of Sazli. The river flows into the Ibar River in Northern Kosovo. Agriculture is prevailing activity in the basin of Sitnica which is why agricultural as well as industrial waste are the biggest water pollutants. The purpose of this study was to evaluate water quality of the river and analyse the pollution level along the Sitnica River caused by agricultural activities and industrial discharges. In order to assess the impact of pollutants on this river, a measurements were carried out in four (five) monitoring stations: the first station represents the reference station which has not undergone or has not been affected by polluting pressures, two stations in water areas affected by the irrigation of farming land and two monitoring stations in water areas affected by industrial wastewater discharge. Some of the parameters of water quality analysed are temperature, turbidity, electrical conductivity, pH, DO, COD, BOD, P total, nitrates, sulfates, and heavy metals iron, manganese, zinc, nickel.

  • Yugoslav Destruction After the Cold War
    STASIS AMONG POWERS: YUGOSLAV DESTRUCTION AFTER THE COLD WAR A dissertation presented by Mladen Stevan Mrdalj to The Department of Political Science In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of Political Science Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts December 2015 STASIS AMONG POWERS: YUGOSLAV DESTRUCTION AFTER THE COLD WAR by Mladen Stevan Mrdalj ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University December 2015 2 Abstract This research investigates the causes of Yugoslavia’s violent destruction in the 1990’s. It builds its argument on the interaction of international and domestic factors. In doing so, it details the origins of Yugoslav ideology as a fluid concept rooted in the early 19th century Croatian national movement. Tracing the evolving nationalist competition among Serbs and Croats, it demonstrates inherent contradictions of the Yugoslav project. These contradictions resulted in ethnic outbidding among Croatian nationalists and communists against the perceived Serbian hegemony. This dynamic drove the gradual erosion of Yugoslav state capacity during Cold War. The end of Cold War coincided with the height of internal Yugoslav conflict. Managing the collapse of Soviet Union and communism imposed both strategic and normative imperatives on the Western allies. These imperatives largely determined external policy toward Yugoslavia. They incentivized and inhibited domestic actors in pursuit of their goals. The result was the collapse of the country with varying degrees of violence. The findings support further research on international causes of civil wars.

  • A Summary of the Tourist Potential of Ferizaj
    E-ISSN 2281-4612 Academic Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies Vol 4 No 2 S2 ISSN 2281-3993 MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy August 2015 A Summary of the Tourist Potential of Ferizaj Halil Halili PhD Candidate, Mediteran University, Faculty of Tourism, Bar, Monte Negro Email: [email protected] Doi:10.5901/ajis.2015.v4n2s2p63 Abstract Ferizaj is, without any doubts, one of the most interesting areas thanks to its wealth and natural beauties. Ferizaj has great potentials for tourism development, as a cultural one as well as to the nature and recreation. Among the potential of local tourism development are Sharri beautiful mountains, river valleys Nerodime, bifurcation, the union of two rivers etc. The different historical past has left numerous material monuments such as tumuli (cemetery) Illyrian, remains of old buildings, residencies and grave stones dating from Middle age. By building objects for tourists we would insure opening of the area and its resources towards tourists and it would valorize, in any aspect, rural, recreational, hunting, fishing, sports, village and ecological tourism. Keywords: tourist potential, Ferizaj, development of tourist sector, Bifurcation 1. Introduction Ferizaj has sufficient potential for the development of cultural, nature and recreation tourism .Among the potentials of the development of local tourism are beautiful mountains of Sharr ,the valley of the river Nerodime ,bifurcation ,the union of two rivers etc. Ferizaj, compared with its surroundings, is relatively new town. One of the most important factors from historic past to the formation of the city of Ferizaj and its economic development is the construction of the railway line (1874) and a railway station that is very important for the transportation of passengers and goods, which also influenced the changes of the view of the place, which today has been transformed into the city (http://kk.rks-gov.net/ferizaj/City- guide/History.aspx) Ferizaj has a convenient geographical and economic position.

The paper makes a review the point sources, pollution of Sitnica River in the section from its springs to discharge into Ibër River. All the existing emitters discharging into the river and its tributaries are analyzed and ranked according to their impact on the river body in terms of pollution load. The main source of pollution appears to be the untreated domestic and industrial wastewater, as the pressure increases with the increasing of population living in the river basin. Different wastewater management approaches (centralized and decentralized) are proposed for the most significant emitters in order to mitigate the anthropogenic impact on the river water quality.

  • Illyrian-Albanian Continuity on the Areal of Kosova 29 Illyrian-Albanian Continuity on the Areal of Kosova
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by AAB College repository Illyrian-Albanian Continuity on the Areal of Kosova 29 Illyrian-Albanian Continuity on the Areal of Kosova Jahja Drançolli* Abstract In the present study it is examined the issue of Illyrian- Albanian continuity in the areal of Kosova, a scientific problem, which, due to the reasons of daily policy, has extremely become exploited (harnessed) until the present days. The politicisation of the ancient history of Kosova begins with the Eastern Crisis, a time when the programmes of Great-Serb aggression for the Balkans started being drafted. These programmes, inspired by the extra-scientific history dressed in myths, legends and folk songs, expressed the Serb aspirations to look for their cradle in Kosova, Vojvodina. Croatia, Dalmatia, Bosnia and Hercegovina and Montenegro. Such programmes, based on the instrumentalized history, have always been strongly supported by the political circles on the occasion of great historical changes, that have overwhelmed the Balkans. Key Words: Dardania and Dardans in antiquity, Arbers and Kosova during the Middle Ages, geopolitical, ethnic, religious and cultural concepts, which are known in the sources of that time followed by a chronological development. The region of Kosova preserves archeological monuments from the beginnings of Neolith (6000-2600 B.C.). Since that time the first settlements were constructed, including Tjerrtorja (Prishtinë), Glladnica (Graçanicë), Rakoshi (Istog), Fafos and Lushta (Mitrovicë), Reshtan and Hisar (Suharekë), Runik (Skenderaj) etc. The region of Kosova has since the Bronze Age been inhabited by Dardan Illyrians; the territory of extension of this region was much larger than the present-day territory of Kosova.

  • Főbb Földrajzi Sajátosságok
    Első rész FŐBB FÖLDRAJZI SAJÁTOSSÁGOK Földünk különböző területei sajátos földrajzi tulajdonságaik révén eltér- nek egymástól, és a szemlélőben a földrajzi vagy a természeti egység képzetét kelthetik. A képzet első forrásai a szembetűnő alaktani és mor- fológiai sajátosságok. A morfológiai különbségekhez más különbségek is társulnak, amelyek a különböző földrajzi szélesség, éghajlat, növényzet, a föld terméshozamából erednek. Az imént felsorolt földrajzi sajátosságok- tól képzettársítással a terület történeti szerepéhez juthatunk el, amellyel folyamatosan hatott az egymást követő kultúrákra és a mai kultúra állapo- tára. A lélek akaratlanul is kapcsolatot keres a kétfajta tényező között. A földrajzi vonások, a történelmi és szociológiai tényezők összekapcsolása kiemelkedő jelentőségűvé válik, ha a terület olyan fontos szerepet játszott a kultúra történeti fejlődésében, mint a Balkán-félsziget. A gondolatok sora óhatatlanul felveti a következő kérdést: melyek azok a domborzati vonások, amelyek meghatározzák a Balkán-félsziget karakterét, és melyek azok, amelyek miatt a balkáni népek élete és fejlődése másként alakult, mint a szomszédos országok lakosaié. Ebből a szemszögből fogjuk a Balkán-félsziget földrajzi jellegzetessé- geit mint emberföldrajzi és etnográfiai tényezőket megfigyelni. Nem geo- morfológiai jellegű stúdiumról beszélünk. Nem vállalkozunk a domborzat specifikus vizsgálatára. Azonban ahhoz, hogy a földrajzi jellegzetességek e csoportját meghatározhassuk, olyan morfológiai és geológiai elméleteket kell megismerni, amelyek a legpontosabban magyarázzák meg a fogal- makat, mint ahogyan ez az emberekkel foglalkozó tanulmányokban lenni szokott, és az eddigi kutatások eredményeit meg kell próbálni ötvözni a saját eredményekkel. Ennek szellemében mutatom be a Balkán-félsziget földrajzi sajátos- ságait, melyek három csoportra oszthatók: az eurázsiai sajátosságok, a kapcsolódások és az elterjedés, valamint az elszigetelődés és elválás sajátosságai. Első fejezet AZ EURÁZSIAI SAJÁTOSSÁGOK ÉS A RÉGI CIVILIZÁCIÓK A kapcsolat Európa és Ázsia között.
