The exploitation of the coal in surface mines especially in our mines it is a problem that requires professional and scientific approach, since not recognizing this problem often has resulted with sequences in the term of material. In this context, thankfully to the technological revolution, today is possible to use a range of methods for the slope stability calculations. We use these methods, too, mainly for the purpose of defining geotechnical safety at the border slope systems as well as at the advance slope systems Taking into account all geological-engineering data, including tectonic movements, surface and underground water, seismic factors etc. Today there are a lot of contemporary approaches, development and i...

Due to its fragile past, Kosovo has suffered greatly from both economic and human resources underdevelopment. In the late 1990s, the European Union (EU) began to promote trade liberalization in order to bring about regional reconciliation in the Western Balkan region. SMEs in Kosovo need to develop their competitiveness in order to increase their exports. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of human resource characteristics such as the number of employees, education level, and attendance of training related to exports on the level of exports of 100 Kosovo SMEs. The Probit model is used to derive statistical results. Statistical analysis is conducted based on descriptive statistics, Reliability Test Cronbach’s Alpha-, Pseudo R2, LR chi2, the Prob>chi2 and Wald test. It can be concluded that this research will be of interest for the field of Human Resources Man...

So the internet has influenced in the creation of a market which is growing so quickly as by doing business but also in the communication between consumers and business partners. Nowadays, almost all companies have access to the Internet and most of them use the internet to sell their products or provide their services across the world. This way of doing business is called "e-business" and refers to all forms of business that are conducted online. While for Kosovo, which is my case of study ebusiness is a new field and almost unknown to a large part of its residents. The Kosovars are known as very large users of the Internet, but they have not yet gained the culture and the trust to begin with purchases and sales through internet. Best known model of e-business in Kosovo is the ebanking, although we can see some small movement towards the development of other models despite the lack of market for this area of business.

A new kind of real media with interchangeable real and virtual components is introduced. A special kind of complex objects, having a real part and various virtual parts of different levels of abstraction, is introduced. These complex objects allow a synchronous generation and manipulation of coupled real systems and their virtual counterparts. These objects can stimulate it self to simulate their own potential environment. This kind of design environment is expected to support new forms of interaction, suitable for individual traditions, cultures, norms and conventions of design and working styles in networked enterprises. With this mechanism we are able to freely exchange real and virtual parts of a system in a distributed design space.

As a result of Serbian diplomacy, recognitions have been contested, causing Kosovo to fail in membership in international organizations. According to the current prime minister, the Government of Kosovo is determined until the Serbian state reflects, despite the international pressure until recognition of Kosovo, as an independent country in mutual recognition. The tax, at the same time, was the awareness that every citizen tried to avoid consuming products of Serbian origin. But, despite the economic effects, Kosovo is being asked to withdraw or suspend the tax based on the principles of CEFTA and SAA, at the same time asking Kosovo to give priority to dialogue and that pressure comes from Serbia with the lobbying that it does in countries that have an impac...

The basic task of the state in relation to the economy of each country is to establish and maintain the functioning of the legal and institutional platform on which economic activity is being conducted. Practice has clearly shown that in certain circumstances, the free market fails to function properly by often introducing economic activity into a negative coil, from which it can not be done without the state intervention to cope with this situation the private sector. The recurring economic crises clearly dictate the need for intervention by the state to overcome the temporary failure in the functioning of the market mechanism. In such cases, the benefit of state intervention in the economy is justified by the capabilities the state owns. However, state intervention is distorted when interfering with politics to realize their aspirations to the detriment of economic activity which results in f...

Rather than affecting the greatest employer's ability, some studies see higher education as one of the leading factors that directly affects the style of life that we do. Therefore, today's demands have increased significantly for skilled people, and prepared in complex areas, and a consolidation between market demands and university curricula is needed. This paper examines Data mining techniques which are used in order to create an automated model which makes comparisons between market demands and university curricula. We also present how proposed model is able to give recommendations, based on the comparison between market demands and university curricula.
