Ismail Kadare (1936) is one of the most famous writers of contemporary Albanian literature. He is the author of dozens of books of poetry and prose, which have been translated into 45 languages of the world, making him one of the most translated Albanian writers, but also the most famous in the world. He is a laureate of many international awards and several times nominated for the Nobel Prize for literature. In my paper, I will address the aspects of his contribution in addressing the topic of Kosovo, both in the field of poetry and in that of prose and journalism. With this topic, in addition to some poems, he has published the novels "Krushqit janë të ngrirë", "Tri Këngë zie për Kosovën", as well as the publicist books "Ra ky mort e u pamë", "Bisedë mes grilash" and "Çlirimi I Serbisë Nga Kosova". Kadare's treatment of the Kosovo issue on an artistic level has made the violation of the national rights of the autochthonous Albanians of Kosovo by the Serbian occupying regime, in particular, and the issue of Kosovo, in general, sensitized in the international arena. The methods used in this paper are that of analysis and synthesis.
伊斯梅尔·卡达雷（1936）是阿尔巴尼亚当代最著名的文学作家之一。他著有数十本诗歌和散文书，这些书已被翻译成世界45种语言，使他成为翻译最多的阿尔巴尼亚作家之一，也是世界上最著名的作家之一。他是许多国际奖项的获得者，并多次获得诺贝尔文学奖提名。在我的论文中，我将阐述他在诗歌、散文和新闻领域对科索沃问题所作贡献的各个方面。关于这个主题，除了一些诗歌，他还出版了小说《Krushqit janëtënggrirë》、《Tri Këngëzie për Kosovën》，以及公关书籍《Ra ky mort e u pamë》，《Bisedëmes grilash》和《Çlirimi I SerbisëNga Kosova》。卡达雷在艺术层面上处理科索沃问题，特别是塞尔维亚占领政权侵犯科索沃当地阿尔巴尼亚人的民族权利的行为，以及整个科索沃问题，在国际舞台上引起了关注。本文采用的方法有分析法和综合法。

Purpose: This study set out to empirically examine the relationship between inventory management and private hospitals' financial performance in Western Uganda. Methodology: The study adopted a positivist approach and a cross-sectional research design to collect data from 32 Private hospitals in Western Uganda. The study used a closed-ended questionnaire to collect data and simple linear regression for data analysis. Findings: Results revealed inventory management as a significant predictor of private hospitals' financial performance in Western Uganda. The study recommended that private hospitals adopt robust and scientific inventory management systems and models that aim to optimise stock levels and minimise costs if they are to achieve substantial financial performance. Contribution to Practice and Policy: The study has deep-rooted the urgent need for private hospitals to adopt more stringent inventory management systems that will ensure adequate stock levels, minimise costs and enhance superior financial performance. However, the study was positivistic, thus subject to methods bias that could have affected the results' validity.

Aim: Despite years of empirical research, the nexus between banks development and the stock market with economic growth is still controversial. This study examined the impact of the stock market and banks development on the firm’s growth in Pakistan. The sector of non-financial firms chosen for analysis and financial firms ignored because of different structure. The sample of 45 firms listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) from the period of 2014-2019 used for the analysis. The sample has been selected based on the firm’s market capitalisation and random effect model to estimate both institution development and firm growth. We controlled the firm’s profitability, interest, and inflation. The results are robust to the Estimated Generalised Least Squares (EGLS) method. Results showed that significant positive relation exists between stock market development and firm growth, while a negative association exists between banks development and firm growth. Furthermore, control variables (profitability, interest, and inflation) have a significant negative impact on firm growth. The findings contribution in literature with perspective to Pakistan because prior studies done related to developed countries. Policymakers may use this study for making policy related to firms and economic growth.

Kalman filter (KF) provides optimal beta estimate with linear models where the noise covariances are known a priori. Noise covariance adaptation-based adaptive KFs (AKFs) have also been used to get these beta estimates. These AKFs suffer from one typical problem, namely inadequate noise filtering. This paper explores some new formulation of such AKFs to solve this problem in addition to applying other related existing formulations. The proposed methods have been analysed through simulation study along with empirical performance verifications through VaR backtesting, expected shortfall analysis, and in-sample performance analysis. Results show that two new and one existing AKFs are successful to provide smooth beta estimates.

A serious constraint of data availability over flood-prone areas in India limits the potential of carrying out hydrodynamic flood modelling studies. Such difficulties are encountered because of a lack of high-resolution topography, cross-section data of the rivers, and sufficient and accurate calibration and validation data sets. The present study addresses the problems faced in performing a comprehensive 1D-2D coupled flood modelling over a flood disastrous region Jagatsinghpur, Odisha, India. The constraints faced in terms of hydraulic parameters such as water level, discharge, and geometric parameters such as river geometry are investigated. The simulations were performed for a severe flood event in 2011 that incurred heavy socio-economic losses in the district. The establishment of a modelling platform for flood simulation shall elucidate the major constraints faced in hydrodynamic modelling for such flood-prone areas with poor data availability.

The global financial world has been experiencing increasing complexities in the design and construct of financial instruments, wherein the average retail investors need to be well informed and aware of the risks about the evolution of financial products and financial system. The global financial crisis of 2008-2009 is evident to the fact that traditional methods of financial advisory involving the use of human intermediaries and financial advisors is not an infallible method to determine one's financial decision or risk management. Almost a decade since the crisis, the advancement of financial technology in the form of robo-advisors and the use of data and visual analytics have completely transformed the way the retail investors make their financial decisions and also in the sphere of risk management of these investors. The study qualitatively analyses the use of the use of analytics and robo-advisory in determining retail investors' financial decisions and risk management by doing a systematic and an exhaustive literature review on the latest and the past studies on the topic.

Disaster is the sudden problem of the world. There is no time bound. By disaster, all the creatures of the earth are affected. Here, the authors have tried to show some issues which are related to the natural calamities and green transportation. The main investigation of the paper is to describe about humanitarian supply chain management with optimized transportation cost, time, and carbon emission. Here a real-life problem of flood affected area has been chosen. When such disasters happen, quick response can reduce the devastation and save lives, and thus, it requires fulfilling the basic humanitarian needs of the affected population. In such case, organizations should also maintain the emission of the vehicles in safe range to mitigate the further disaster by pollution. A multi-objective solid transportation problem considering cost, time, and emission has been presented here. To solve the problem, this paper has used goal programming method and pareto optimal solution method. A comparison of results is also shown later. Some managerial insights are drawn to describe the situation.
