In the modern world information technology especially internet is rapidly changing the way individuals interact in the real world in the labor force market. Social networks (SN) like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter; Instagram etc. has invaded our daily lives. Human resources management has also taken its share of these changes. Employers have begun using social networks for getting information about job candidates. Information provided by Social Network about personal and professional life of potential job candidates made Social Network as an important tool for recruiters. In the Republic of Kosovo even in some other countries social network is not an official part of the selection but their influence on the recruitment process is very evident. The essence of the research is the impact of social networks and traditional methods - interviews, C.V and recommendations in the recruitment process in the Republic of Kosovo. In foretold, the research thesis is explored with all the justifications and challenges that follow. Presentation of the research plan and procedures reflects in detail the real situation. The methodology I have used in this research has analytical character and practical verification of hypotheses. This first research is dealt with on this day and will be a major contributor to the human resources strategy devoted to the recruitment process.

Two decades since the war ended in Kosova, difficulties, especially those of a political nature, worsened. The combination of local and international efforts have catalyzed and facilitated achieving the rule of law and interethnic reliability within the state of Kosovo, but not reconciliation. There are still to truths, an Albanian and a Serbian. Few of war criminals for Kosova’s crimes were sentenced. Hate speeches are again between. It appears that peace building is not as easily conceivable as initially thought, considering the lack of agreement between internal and international actors on the creation of a new state of Kosova. This article attempts to answer to what extent Kosovo’s peace building has been influenced by international ambiguity and wrongful decisions made by the Kosova’s institutions, highlighting the obstructive politics and agents such as political and socio-economic, interrupting inter-ethnic reconciliatory treatment toward sustainable peace in the Balkan region.

The focus of this study is to identify the barriers to develop and introduce innovations in the public sector of Kosovo. This paper is compiled based on the mixed methodology approach and findings are compared and contrasted with the current condition of knowledge. The findings clearly indicate that a risk-averse culture still continues in Kosovo’s public sector. In addition to this, lack of human and financial resources adds another important barrier towards public sector innovation. Moreover, staff resistance is also considered an important barrier to public sector innovation in Kosovo. Therefore, it is recommended for public sector managers to integrate the new concepts of the open innovation and networked governance to reduce these barriers. These concepts demand engaging all employees as well as external parties in critical innovation processes which in evasion will lead to the adoption of an innovative culture in the public sector of Kosovo. This study contributes to further research, regarding the adoption of the culture of innovation in the public sector of developing countries. Finally, this research enriches and widens the current knowledge in the public sector innovation with a focus on the barriers to public sector innovation processes in developing countries.

Access to the court, is one of the basic principle of due process. This principle is provided by the international acts and also by domestic laws. Constitution of Albania provides that every person has the right to address the court in order to protect their own legal rights, freedom and interests. Access to justice is an important aspect of due process, the absence of which makes in-existent the discussion for respecting the principle of due legal process. This principle is one of the European Convention of Human Rights elements of the article 6 and it is specifically interpreted by the European Court of Human Rights. Albania undertook some action to reform the justice system, and some of laws are amendmented and affected even the part of access to the court. Some changes were done to the Procedural Civil Code, with the aim that the civil procedure to be easy, the time of the proceeding to be reasonable, the access to court to be easy for every citizen, the procedures to be simplified etc. In this paper there are analyzied the rights to address to the court, as part of appropriate process, cases when this right can be restricted, which is the practice followed by the domestic courts intertwining with the attitude that keeps the European Court of Human Rights, the changes that were made to the laws by Albania during these years and affects that access to the court.

Subjective measurement is another important aspect of poverty and wellbeing measurement method. The estimation through self assessment is another non monetary poverty that takes into consideration the monetary and non monetary aspects. The self assessment is estimated taking into consideration qualitative and quantitative measure. In this paper there are estimated three dimensions of subjective poverty, qualitative one, estimated with minimum income needed and two others expressed with categories, happiness and assessment in scale. The research aim to study and to find the best methods of the subjective measurement, as an important dimension of non monetary poverty is to analyze trend and correlation with objective poverty and to define factors that influence in the probability of feeling poor. It is supposed that this assessment is influenced by different socio-economic indicators like household characteristics, income declared, education, employment, etc. The analyses is based on data from the Living standard Measurement Survey and there are presented methods how to calculate different dimensions of subjective assessment in order to update further on with other sources.

This paper investigates the SII (Summary Innovation Index), GCI (Global Competitiveness Index), ICI (Innovation Capacity Index), GII (Global Innovation Index) and NRI (Networked Readiness Index) index as a tools about ICT and national innovation capacities in the case of the Republic of Macedonia and given countries. The concept of ICT and innovation and the methods for measuring it have been under constant dispute for decades. Without doubt, the measurement of ICT and innovation and theirs dynamics is of great importance for theoretical and empirical analysis of growth models, and to support the decision-making process of potential investors. Composite indicators are widely used to compare a variety of countries with different backgrounds and levels of development, but these indicators do not tell us much about the country-specific ICT and innovation environment. At the same time, there is a separate branch of literature, which analyses ICT and national innovation systems, characterizing only a specific country and discussing factors that may impact ICT and innovation performance in the country in question. In this paper we try to bridge these two approaches. First, we conduct a comparative analysis of the ICT and innovation performance of the countries using composite indicators, and second, we analyze factors that may explain the differences in ICT and innovation performance between the countries.

The purpose of the paper is to present the philosophy of reform of education in Albania during the post-communist transition. Reforming education is a priority, but has been neglected by governments over the last 25 years. Over the last five years, the new curriculum and the new textbook system are being implemented according to the European standards. The core of reform is "have human beings learnt" (E. Ultarur, 2012). The constructivist philosophy of learning is a sure foundation that guarantees the new quality of the educational process. The Montessori's philosophy guarantees high quality and safety for the future because: First, this philosophy serves as a theoretical basis and serves as a method. Montessori has discovered the stages of natural development of the thinking human beings from childhood to adolescence, basing on scientific evidence, from childhood to adolescence. Secondly, Montessori’s constructivism moved the knowledge from the product into the process. Montessori illuminates the way of building human values during educational teaching process at school and in the community by the falling down of the classic wall that separates school from the community (public). Our research is based on the study of curricular experiences and on data from consultations with students, parents and specialists. The search method is holistic. By the holistic education the children need not only to develop academically, but to develop the ability as well in order to survive in the real world. The real world in our era is in front of the virtual world. In this contexts, we must teach children to learn not what?, but how? (How does it work/learn?). The teacher must learn his/her students how they construct the values by their immediate relationships with their friends and family as well as social development, health, and intellectual development.

Employees work for the needs of their life: physical and psychological needs. In doing their jobs in accordance with their status and positions, it is always necessary for them to demonstrate their ability to survive against the tide of changes in their workplace. They will face the challenges and demands, both positive and negative of the people around them. In the developed countries, generally, employees work individually. They focus on their job and target in the workplace. As consequently, they should hard work. However, such a harsh working environment sometimes makes some employees workaholics, thereby causing them to feel the sense of insecurity (SOI). This paper presents a chronological framework to encourage their awareness of SOI, which may help overcome psychological problems within their life. This will enable them to measure their capabilities and to manage risks in their jobs and daily activities. These are supported by creative and innovative thinking in their life.

For some time now and at several levels, various debates have been taking place, on whether the God factor, is, or can be made compatible with the contemporary science. This study attempts to explore the nature of this debate, by delving in two critical concerns; origin and evolution of life and universe. In line with meticulous endeavor to comprehend the matter of the concern, the theories pertaining to subjects of the debates, such as, the theory of evolution, theory of relativity and quantum physics are explored and analyzed. The exclusivity of this study is the omission of the religion (or respective religious point of view) from the debate itself. The paper also attempts to define God and additionally offers numerous prominent scientists’ views in relation to God. Moreover, the study also delves into the inside focus of the science camp and the burden of responsibility they have to the outside world. A number of significant points to the study, diverse in shape and composition, are put forward to elucidate the issues concerned. The paper, however, concludes that modern science, in relation to origin and evolution of life and universe, is unreliable, in disarray, filled, above all, with gaps, inconsistencies and paradoxes that scientists themselves admit. This challenging state has, ultimately, induced even modern prominent scientists to shift their belief and acknowledge that God, or, an undetected, but a crafted universal intelligence, is responsible for the creation, origin and evolution of life and universe, and not chance or spontaneity.

The main aim of this paper is to analyze the admission process in public and private Albanian Universities. Another aim is to identify the factors considering by students perspective in choosing between a public and private university in Albania. The first analyse is qualitative and quantitative, while the latter one is only quantitative. The quantitative analyse is based on a questionnaire with 8 articles. The questionnaire is with self-report, completed by 179 students of the first year of schooling (May, 2018), attending the Public Universities of Tirana and Shkodra. Regarding the first aim, the actual admission process in institutions of Albanian higher education is centralised, penalize students' candidates and doesn't allow flexibility in designing admission politics. Regarding the second one, from the answers, 69.8% choose a public university, while 30.2% in different condition will choose a private university. These numbers change in dependence from the faculty and location; in both cases of choosing between a private and public university, the first reason listed is the professionalism, but however must be emphasised the slightly differences in meaning on "professionalism" when refer one or other university; the second reasons goes for the low tuition fees in public universities, which is replaced with "good infrastructure" in private universities; the reliability is the third reason in both cases; in opposite with the general opinion, the tradition and history of public university is listed in the fourth place. Finding of the differences between private and public universities from the perspective of students is a good start to draft and make better educational politics in higher education.
