It is a life experience, it carries out thousands of life experiences, by analyzing to induce or deduce. And it does so by introducing, through its papers, the humanity on a macro and micro level, by dealing from the most dramatic existential dilemmas of human society, those dealing with major treats and threats of the future, social systems and societies analyzed in a diachronic prospective, going down into phenomena, to analyze individual processes projected in different social systems and background

This brings a great necessity to watch those evolutions, processes and the impact they have in the Albanian social tissue. At the same time, it is important to understand what streamline has been followed till now by micro and macro processes. There is no sustainable change or improvement, if it is not built at the cellular level, and when we talk about the state, institutions and citizens, the way they relate, if it is standardized or not by laws or procedures, it becomes the most important reading that we must do to understand the substratum of those changes. Relations, communications and the future of the communicative situations between citizens and public operators indicate the quality and sustainability of Albanian evolutions in social view, as well as the forecasting ...

Il fenomeno del brain drain è caratterizzato da spostamenti di lavoratori preparati dai paesi emergenti verso quelli a sviluppo avanzato. In questo modo, i paesi emergenti devono affrontare gli effetti negativi della ripresa, oltre che della crescita economica delle loro economie.

Un richiamo alla profonda sensazione del profumo della carta di una lettera, che necessitava di minimo 2 giorni per arrivare in destinazione. Richiamo a passare dall’onirico ed effimero costrutto e consumo dell’esistenza nell’on line, a quello vero, fatto di confronti su cio che siamo o meglio siamo capaci di dare nel faccia a faccia. La necessita di nuove comunicazioni, partendo dall’individuo per risalire a quello delle nostre societa odierne, fino ad ora fatto di scambi di flussi economici e finanziari, i quali hanno capovolto il meccanismo di condizionamento e sviluppo sociale, influendo sull’individualismo come ultimo episodio di una serie connessioni causa-effetto.

The final scope had been that of making them perceptible as observable rigid entities. What happens when a virus and pandemic come to the stage of the global arena, which makes us act and operate at an individual level, as well as in all forms of organization we engage in, totally different from our expectations, motivations and communication of the day before it all started? Are we living in the dawn of a new organism or is it just the confirmation that this had already started and now it is time to acquire and accept the new reality?

Referring to access policies into Agri-environmental schemes we will discuss the adoption of new technologies for sustainable rural development, environmental enhancement of the farm and the caution laissez-faire attitude to environmental protection. The data set selected for elaboration on this article are produced by the ISTAT institute on tome series from 2010 to 2015. Attention in this paper was focused on whether education level, age and gender has influenced social policies and the decision-making of producer policies.

Possiamo dire che ogni organizzazione ha un proprio stile comunica- tivo che, ovviamente, cambia nel tempo e deve tener conto sia della mag- giore o minore complessità dell’organizzazione, sia del settore specifico, merceologico, al quale afferisce 1’organizzazione. Pertanto, il processo di comunicazione rappresenta all’interno di un’azienda una chiave di lettura privilegiata che consente di comprendere diversi aspetti: la struttura orga- nizzativa, il percorso dei flussi comunicativi, le relazioni tra i vari elementi della struttura, il quadro di autonomia dei diversi soggetti. In questo con- testo la comunicazione non può essere percepita soltanto come flusso di informazione, ma deve essere considerata in relazione alle azioni/reazioni di chi da e di chi utilizza 1’informazione.

One of the less risky strategies-is the adoption of economic procedures applied to health, more specifically, pharmaco-economics analysis. This paper aims to contribute to the dissemination of notions and techniques of economic study with a view to integrate these into strategy decisions of payment rationalization and the search for clinical effectiveness. It includes a literature review covering the category of expenses and reimbursement in health issues, the methodologies of pharmaco-economics revision, cost-minimization, cost-benefits, cost-effectiveness and cost-utility analysis, as well as its main characteristics, advantages, disadvantages and applicability.

After 20 years of deep economic, political and social transformation, those countries are facing the problem of the highly qualified human resources they lost in these two decades, while in most of cases there is no a real measurement of the weight and impact these phenomena of Brain Drain has in the quality of the work force. Most of them are trying to set up and apply Brain Gain strategies at a national level. The paper aims to analyze and evaluate the influence that the missing of a previous qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the Phenomena of Brain Drain in Albania, has in the successful application of the Brain Gain strategy. The research objective will be fulfilled by analyzing the evolution of the Brain Drain phenomena, by an introduction of the Albanian characteristic and shape of Brain Drain from 1990, by analyzing the Brain Gain strategy applied ...

This brings a great necessity to watch very close those evolutions, processes and the impacts they have in the Albanian social tissue. At the same time, it is very important to understand what streamline has been followed till now by micro and macro huge progresses which have affected the systems, the relations between pairs which not necessarily are being expressed in standards.

An established mythology of apparent national identities in the Balkans is somewhat unnaturally reinforced to justify conflicts between religious and ethnic groups, caused as a result of the national identities intertwined among themselves, an element essentially more influential than existence of national identities. For centuries Christians and Muslims in the Balkans have been living in peace, however a few Balkan Societies continue to use violence, national extremism, xenophobia as well as a contemporary practice to solve their problems. A legitimate question can be raised in relation to how common is religious influence used to cause violent and armed conflicts as compared to violence originating from ethnic cleansing, control over territory, political ideology and regional hegem...

The huge changes in the social tissue of those societies, which up to now had an established dominant culture and religious affiliation, made them now face more than the effects of migrant flows, which inevitably causes confrontations of cultures and believes. The clash of civilizations, which have been so accurately predicted, took different forms of confrontation by giving floor to extremism into its organized form: an explosion of terrorism. By considering the strong connections between poverty and lack of education as an extremism cradle, many researchers consider the inclusion of the subjects related to the history and culture of religions as a strategy to reduce cultural and religious conflict as well as extremist behavior and the bases of terrorism, by increasing information and knowledge about religion starting from early teen years.

This notion implies the setting in function of the instruments and procedures that prevent undesirable behavior and provide encouragement of good behavior among operators of those services. While doing this, communication as a main component of the public service, calls for structure and control. Ethics or standards of behavior in the public sector are important political and public issues for every country, which is always held as a fundamental prerequisite for “good behavior” (good governance). The Code of ethics by which are expressed the values and standards in the civil service is one of the ethical elements of infrastructure.

Adding to this complex and mobile situation the effect on their economy of the last financial crisis, the turbulence level is expected to be increased . Practitioners and researchers must understand connections and make up different scenarios which will face with a very unpredictable environment.
