The Impacts of Hiv Aids on Families and Communities in Albania
European Scientific Journal November edition vol. 8, No.26 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 THE IMPACTS OF HIV AIDS ON FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES IN ALBANIA Dr. Xhevdet Zeka Elda Gjergji, PhD Candidate Monika Hodaj, PhD Candidate University of Elbasan “Aleksander Xhuvani” Abstract: Since HIV was first identified in 1983, over 65 million people have been infected, of whom 25 million have died. In the past 20 years HIV/AIDS has become an increasing global phenomenon. In countries hard hit by the pandemic, morbidity and mortality have risen and are expected to continue to rise. The implications of rising morbidity and mortality are not only that HIV/AIDS is changing the demographic structure of the household but also that it is taking a heavy toll on the socio-economic well-being of households and communities. These socio-economic effects are largely borne by individuals, households, and communities with little, if any, support from the technology change community and policy maker. This paper will discuss the ways in which HIV/AIDS could potentially devastate governments, economies, relationships between younger and older population and the other parts of society. It will also identify political and social challenges faced by the global effort fighting the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The study made use of secondary data sources, supplemented by survey of a selected group of Albanians who are engaged in AIDS’ research and relief issues. Findings revealed that AIDS has had a major impact on the relationships between the younger and older populations in the affected areas in Albania. It has considerably increased the caregiving responsibilities and challenges faced by the older population at the time when they are supposed to be receiving care. -

The attempt has been made to present all emendations subsequent to the editio pri?iceps ; but a few repeated misspellings of proper names and similarly obvious corrections are not reported. A few of the emenda- tions of the princeps have been included exempli gratia. The apparatus of Giarratano (Titi Livi Ah Urhe Condita Libri XLI-XLF, Rome, 1933) has been constantly consulted, but not always followed. The maps are intended to show the location of all places mentioned in the volume, if the location is known. Kiepert's Atlas Antiquus has been used in preparing these maps ; places not located by Kiepert have a question-mark following the name. Where the name is spelled by Kiepert in a way conspicuously different from the Livy text, the Kiepert spelling will be found in parentheses in the Index. The map of Rome is taken from O. Richter, Topograpkie der Stadt Rom, Miinchen, Beck, 1901 (Iwan MuUer, Handbuch, III, 3), by kind permission of the pub- lishers. -

National Myths in Interdependence
National Myths in Interdependence: The Narratives of the Ancient Past among Macedonians and Albanians in the Republic of Macedonia after 1991 By Matvey Lomonosov Submitted to Central European University Nationalism Studies Program In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts CEU eTD Collection Advisor: Professor Maria Kovács Budapest, Hungary 2012 Abstract The scholarship on national mythology primarily focuses on the construction of historical narratives within separate “nations,” and oftentimes presents the particular national ist elites as single authors and undisputable controllers of mythological versions of the past. However, the authorship and authority of the dominant national ist elites in designing particular narratives of the communal history is limited. The national past, at least in non- totalitarian societies, is widely negotiated, and its interpretation is always heteroglot . The particular narratives that come out of the dominant elites’ “think-tanks” get into a polyphonic discursive milieu discussing the past. Thus they become addressed to alternative narratives, agree with them, deny them or reinterpret them. The existence of those “other” narratives as well as the others’ authorship constitutes a specific factor in shaping mythopoeic activities of dominant political and intellectual national elites. Then, achieving personal or “national” goals by nationalists usually means doing so at the expense or in relations to the others. If in this confrontation the rivals use historical myths, the evolution of the later will depend on mutual responses. Thus national historical myths are constructed in dialogue, contain voices of the others, and have “other” “authors” from within and from without the nation in addition to “own” dominant national ist elite. -

Global Journal of Medical Research: J Dentistry & Otolaryngology Volume 20 Issue 2 Version 1.0 Year 2020 Type: Double Blind Peer Reviewed International Research Journal Publisher: Global Journals Online ISSN: 2249-4618 & Print ISSN: 0975-5888 Preprotective and Protective Protocol in Implantology By Erza Mulaj, Berat Lenjani, Shqiponje Gashi & Ilirian Lenjani University Dental Center of Kosovo Abstract- This presentation, based on various studies and our experiences, aims to highlight the paraprothetic and prosthetic protocol in oral implantlogy. The purpose of this paper is to perform prosthetic simulation prior to any surgical-implant procedure, as oral implant logy arises as a consequence and in response to prosthetics in cases of partial or total insufficiency. By comparing the clinical efficacy of the early and late protocol of dental implant placement according to the protocol. The objectives of this paper are to determine the position, diameter, and number of implants determined by the therapeutic angle that present cases with insufficiency and then indicate the need for prosthetic (suprastructural) work depending on the anatomical considerations of the jaw. Planned prosthetic work may have to vary depending on the appropriate jaw implant position. What needs to be emphasized is proper diagnosis and prosthetic treatment / planning as well as surgical stages. Keywords: protocol, prosthetic, prosthetic, implant, oral, surgical.
