Mos nxitoni ta klasifi koni Shqipërinë si vend në krizë. Së paku për aq kohë sa statistikat flasin ndryshe. Shqiparët nuk kanë shpëtim nga disa nga pasojat e krizës, por vendi ka burime të mjaftueshme për t’u përballur me të.

Duke u mbështetur gjerësisht në prurjet e mëdha të kapitalit të huaj për të nxitur rritjen dhe të ardhurat nga taksat gjatë viteve para krizës, Europa Juglindore do të duhet të mendojë për një model të ri të rritjes ekonomike, një model që nuk varet (plotësisht) nga investimet e huaja direkte, borxhi i jashtëm, të ardhurat e turistëve dhe të ardhurat e emigrantëve, si mjet rritjeje.

Problemi më i madh i Shqipërisë sot nuk janë vetë pasojat e krizës botërore, por mungesa e aftësisë për të grumbulluar në kohën e duhur informacionin e nevojshëm për vendimmarrje të saktë dhe profesionale për t’u përballur me krizën, thotë Prof. Dr. Ermelinda Meksi. Informacioni statistikor zyrtar prej kohësh nuk publikohet sipas kalendarit, shifrat lexohen në mënyrë të njëanshme nga politika dhe vendi është pothuajse symbyllur përballë kostove që kriza botërore na ka imponuar.

A i ezauroi kapitalizmi mundësitë e veta progresive? Mund të konkludojmë se organizimi global i ekonomisë ka nevojë për ristrukturim të organizmave që e shoqërojnë atë. Ky është konkluzioni i parë që vjen nga vetë nevojat e kapitalizmit të sotëm. Marx parashikonte se përqendrimi i kredive në duart e shtetit është një nga hapat e kalimit nga kapitalizmi në komunizëm.

Mungesa e parasë është rrënja e çdo problemi. Por në rastin e Kosovës, kjo shprehje legjendare e George Bernard Shaw nuk është e vërtetë. Kosova ka para për të kapërcyer krizën aktuale, por një praktikë e trashëguar nga koha e UNMIK, mban 1 miliardë euro të bllokuara në bankat e botës.

History shows that in times of deep social crises there is a considerable growth of eschatological sentiments. At the end of the twentieth century Russia encounters revolutionary political, economic and cultural changes, some of them being related to a religious renaissance. The discrediting and collapse of the former communist ideology created a vacuum which was quickly filled with a variety of ideas, including the revival of some pre-revolutionary myths. The return of religion leads not only to increase of the number of believers but also to the emergence of Orthodox monarchist organizations in which faith is combined with the dream of restoration of the kingship. Prophecies based on images from “Apocalypse” are quite popular in these circles. The article analyzes the content of the prophecies, the characteristics of their publication and dissemination, the nature of the activists dealing with these matters as well as the religious political movements and their impact on the believers. The author discusses the question about the different meaning of these prophecies, about the radical right-wing movements, and the ezoterists and konspirologists who have their own interpretations and use them differently. In addition, the question about the relationship between religion and politics in the modern era is also raised.

The problem of the origin of tukantsi, the first Bulgarian settlers in Budjak remains already for a long time a controversial question. The article, which is the result of a complex research of the authors, demonstrates that the inhabitants of the valleys between Stara planina and Sredna Gora called Karadza Dag (Sarnena Sredna Gora) are the earliest Bulgarian immigrants in Southern Bessarabia in modern times. The article is based on different sources: acts and statistics from the archival collections of modern Ukraine and Moldova and materials from field studies accomplished by the authors in the period between 2012 and 2014, in Budjak and Sredna gora (photo documents, oral and written narratives). The updated statistical documents, together with the narratives, the folklore, graphic and other types of sources not only allow to confirm the hypothesis of the South Bulgarian origin of the tukantsi from the region of Karadza Dag, but also reflect the direct continuity, the direct genetic link between Budjak and the Balkans during the nineteenth century.

This paper will analyse the identity construction processes of the migrants’ communities in the context of the European Union. Based on the fieldwork developed with the Bulgarian community settled in Castile and Leon (Spain), this article will explore the strategies of identity management in order to succeed in the integration process. First of all, we will take into account the local strategies of community development consisted on the promotion of associations. Secondly, we will analyse the way the local population reassume the global discourses of Interculturalism promoted by the European Union. Thirdly, we will consider how far these facts affect the migrants’ communities. Bulgarian community developed a wise identity management strategy that enables them to be integrated in the local society without losing their own traditions.

The article examines the revival of the pilgrimage tradition in modern Estonia. It discussed the examples of Catholic, Orthodox, Lutheran and global pilgrimage traditions as well as the so called new religious movements. The article attempts to examine not only the routes and the participants in the pilgrimage, but also its place, importance and peculiarities in the secularized Estonian society. It also tracks the historical roots and current trends in the development of modern religiosity.

The article represents the empirical study of the use of images of angels and their functions in consumer advertising. The aim of the study is to examine changes in the angelic image in the course of time and to question if it is possible on their basis to draw conclusions about religious beliefs and modern value understandings of the people in Estonia as well as in other countries following Western economic models. The study is based on approximately 50 ads (photographs and videos) from Estonia, Germany, France, United States, South Africa and the Philippines disseminated over the last decade. It should be noted that in many cases these are advertisements translated into many languages and it is quite difficult to identify which is their country of origin. Even more, this is definitely not the aim of the article as far as the attention is focused predominantly on the general picture which shows relative homogeneity.

We consider the fragment of second-order logic over the vocabulary <+; x; 0; 1; <; S1; ...; Sk>, interpreted over the reals, where the predicate symbols Si are interpreted as semi-algebraic sets. We show that, in this context, satisfiability of formulas is decidable for the first-order 9-quantifier fragment andundecidable for 8-fragments. We also show that forthese three fragments the same (un)decidability results hold forcontainment and equivalence of formulas..

We investigate minimal first-order structures and consider interpretability and definability of orderings on them. We also prove the minimality of their canonical substructures.

We introduce the variety of Hilbert algebras with a modal operator _, called H-algebras. The variety of H-algebras is the algebraic counterpart of the {-_}-fragment of the intuitionitic modal logic IntK. We will study the theory of representation and we will give a topological duality for the variety of H-algebras. We are going to use these results to prove that the basic implicative modal logic IntK! and some axiomatic extensions are canonical. We shall also to determine the simple and subdirectly irreducible algebras in some subvarieties of H-algebras.

We will introduce the special kind of the order relations into recursively enumerable sets and prove that they can be used to distinguish (albeit in a non-constructive way) between recursive and non-recursive sets.

We study the problem of deciding, whether a given partial order is embeddable into two consecutive layers of a Boolean lattice. Employing an equivalent condition for such embeddability similar to the one given by J. Mittas and K. Reuter, we prove that the decision problem is NP-complete by showing a polynomial-time reduction from the not-all-equal variant of the Satisfiability problem.
