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.

Object of the study is the assessment of the level of motor and linguistic skills to 5-6 age-group children through playing. The study strives to answer to such questions as: on what motor and linguistic features and characteristics are those games perceived of? What are the effects of motor developments into the linguistic and cognitive development? To what ways the selected and applied models of those games make the skills assessment in these fields possible? To what aspects, the applied games models measure or assess certain indicators of the motor and linguistic skills in this age-group children? The research has been based on the concrete understanding of these age group children’s features as well as on the modeling the games to be applied with these children in our pre-school institutions.

Under the Global Millenniums Goals, the society across the world is ambitiously exercising principles of sustainable development, linking economy, society and environment toward a better wellbeing for future generations. Sustainable development principles require societal actions beyond borders of states, political and economy sectors, as well as of the generations and societal diversities.What is the Albanian contribution with regards to the Earth Summit Challenges, while it is fully integrating in the regional and global processes under the freedoms of market economy? Through my paper I will introduce the status of sustainable development in my country Albania, bringing in attention sustainable development and society in a very symbolic district of the Country, the Elbasan district, pointing out local societies both as contributors and beneficiaries in the process. I will present district natural and human resources under the sustainable prospective, while a lot of work needs to be done in order to prevent the very critical environmental condition along the city or periphery due to former metallurgy activity in the district. The role of society is indispensable in the process, while bottom up initiatives must push local and central governments to design and implement budgets fostering a sustainable development.
