European Integration Process - Advantages Of Eu Integration And The Challenges That Must Withstand Albania, Holta (Bako) Kora, Albana (Karameta) Gjoni
UBT International Conference
Albania's integration into the European Union, is one of the biggest challenges in these 25 years. To become a member of the EU, Albania must meet the criteria set for all candidate countries for membership in the European Union, approved by the Copenhagen European Council in June 1993. These criteria have political and economic character that predict: justice, freedom and security, guaranteeing democracy, the rule of law, respect for human rights and minorities. To meet these criteria, Albania shall cooperate with the European Union. If the European Integration Process will be classified in several stages, each stage has maximum and …

The Issue Of Minorities In The Balkans, Ilir Zylfiu
UBT International Conference
The problem of the protection of minorities was raised as an issue in the Treaty of Versailles, completed at the end of the war by the major Allied powers. The Allies had imposed certain obligations on the treatment of minorities to such states that had them in their territories. They also forecasted a trusted international organization with universal character, the League of Nations, the mission to ensure the protection of European minorities. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall and communist regimes, Europe was a witness nationalism outbreak. Whole regions were covered with ethnic conflicts which were a serious threat …
Influence Of The Party System On The Foreign Policy, Aleksandra Jaskólska
Influence Of The Party System On The Foreign Policy, Aleksandra Jaskólska
UBT International Conference
In my paper I will analyze influence of the party system on the foreign policy, case study: India. Indian party system evaluated from dominant party system (sometimes this period of time is called one party system, but it not correct) to multiparty system. India got independence on 15th August 1947, three years later become a republic. India adopted democracy and multiparty system (1951/52, first election for central government, after independence). Even though that multisystem party was introduce, Indian National Congress (INC) ruled India from 1947 till 1977. INC came to power again in 1980 and ruled till 1989 and then …
Transitional Justice In State-Building Processes In Kosovo – Social Constructivism Perspective, Dorota Heidrich
Transitional Justice In State-Building Processes In Kosovo – Social Constructivism Perspective, Dorota Heidrich
UBT International Conference
This paper presents preliminary remarks for the research project on Transitional justice in Kosovo. Building a state, recovering from the past. The main research questions concern how and why transitional justice efforts in Kosovo have been constructed and implemented. The project will involve discussion about transitional justice (TJ) as a concept; the background of Kosovo conflict and how it internalized international norms and standards connected to transition and peace-building efforts. Social constructivism’s relevance as IR will be tested.

Law As An Instrument For Political Influence Over Kosovo’S Public Broadcaster, Gjylije Rexha
UBT International Conference
Politics uses its instruments to exert influence over the public media. The main instrument that politics uses is the law – as the grounds which regulate the rapport between the public media and the political power. Examples of the most independent public broadcasters can be found in those countries where politics has adopted and executed such legislation that limits the possibility of politics to exert influence over the main components related to the independence of the public media. In the case of the Radio Television of Kosovo – RTK, politics has failed to follow this practice notwithstanding that RTK has …

Broadcasting Activity, Programming Policy, Professional And Ethical Standards Of Rtk. 97, Ferid Selimi
UBT International Conference
RTK started its activity with only two hours of programming a day, later extended to four, and to achieve 20 hours of programming a day, of which about 65% of the overall program was local production. Through the years, RTK as a public media continued to accomplish its goals and objectives. This medium was required to keep the balance between programs of general interest and the specific programs that serve the needs of viewers, necessarily, have to do a combination of news programs, sports, programs based on facts, current affairs programs, various documentaries, debates and discussions, cultural programs, etc. Television …

Irish Gms Cost Projections And Its Implications Between 2016 And 2026, Aisling Conway Lenihan, Noel Woods
Irish Gms Cost Projections And Its Implications Between 2016 And 2026, Aisling Conway Lenihan, Noel Woods
Dept. of Management & Enterprise Publications
Introduction: Ireland had one of the highest pharmaceutical spends per capita in the EU in 2012. The General Medical Services (GMS) scheme is the largest community drug scheme in Ireland with approximately 40% of the population eligible for free drugs and appliances in 2012. The total cost of GMS prescriptions increased by 414% between 1998 and 2012. This paper projects Irish GMS cost from 2016 to 2026 and examines the implications of the estimated impact on GMS expenditure.
Method: Central Statistics Office (CSO) population projections (2013) and HSE-PCRS GMS population prescription data (2012) were used to develop four variables; population, …

Gleeson Library Faculty and Staff Research and Scholarship
Santa Clara University and the University of San Francisco are leveraging patron-initiated borrowing data to create a deeper and more browse-able collection in certain subject areas where patrons have shown interest. This same ILL data has also been used to strengthen the meta-collection of our consortium (LINK+) through the intentional and coordinated diversification of approval plan profiles. When we began looking at our patron-initiated borrowing data, we could see that there are call number ranges where one or both universities borrow frequently. We will discuss both methodology and preliminary findings: how this data is being gathered, analyzed, and then used …

Co-Curricular Tools For Reflective Practice: Depaul's Strategies For Critical Reflection, Jennifer O'Brien, Lynn Copp, Lauri Dietz, Heather Jagman
Heather Jagman
Are you looking for new ways to encourage faculty, staff, and student employees to become more effective reflective practitioners? Inspired by theorists such as David Kolb who asserts that reflection is the bridge to learning being transferred from one context to another, we've learned at DePaul that creating a university-wide culture of reflection requires co-curricular collaboration. By learning from and reinforcing each other's reflective practices, our aim is to help maximize the transfer of learning across curricular and co- curricular contexts. Join us for an interactive session where the facilitators will model reflective activities that foster professional learning, growth, and …
The Half-Life & After-Life Of New Media, Nancy Austin
The Half-Life & After-Life Of New Media, Nancy Austin
Journal of Contemporary Archival Studies
It is fitting to think of the half-life of new media using the time-based metaphor of radioactive decay. As a metaphor, an object’s half-life can be a useful way to talk about the potent technological modernity of new media and, like Walter Benjamin’s well-known notion of the aura, call attention to an object’s performativity. However, Benjamin’s aura remains a constant reminder of irrevocable originality whereas remarking on half-life references a quality that changes over time. But what happens after the rhetorical impact of being new has run its course? What is the life expectancy of once-new media and what of …
When Narrative Fails: Context And Physical Evidence As Means Of Understanding The Northwest Boundary Survey Photographs Of 1857–1862, James A. Eason
When Narrative Fails: Context And Physical Evidence As Means Of Understanding The Northwest Boundary Survey Photographs Of 1857–1862, James A. Eason
Journal of Contemporary Archival Studies
The photographs of the Northwest Boundary Survey, taken chiefly in 1860–1861, present many of the problems commonly encountered in the study of nineteenth-century photography. These views documenting the international border between modern British Columbia and the American Pacific Northwest provide a useful case study in the close reading of physical attributes of photographs. They afford an opportunity to compare imagery and evidence across known sets, and to draw conclusions from sequencing, variant captioning, and other physical evidence. These details will help archivists and other collection managers make good decisions about depth of cataloging, digital imaging choices, and interfaces for online …
Faded But Not Forgotten: Thinking About The Records And Relics Of America's Earliest Forays In Photography, Jeffrey Mifflin
Faded But Not Forgotten: Thinking About The Records And Relics Of America's Earliest Forays In Photography, Jeffrey Mifflin
Journal of Contemporary Archival Studies
The first documented photographs in America were taken in the spring of 1839 by enthusiastic experimenters after studying recently arrived publications from England, detailing William Henry Fox Talbot's instructions for making photogenic drawings. The images have not survived, but meaning can nevertheless be found in the circumstances surrounding their production and disappearance.

Setting Lower Limits High: The Role Of Boundary Goals In Achievement Motivation., Katherine Corker
Setting Lower Limits High: The Role Of Boundary Goals In Achievement Motivation., Katherine Corker
Katherine S. Corker
Boundary goals specify the minimum performance level that an individual must attain to subjectively experience success. The present research integrates boundary goals into the hierarchical model of achievement motivation (A. J. Elliot, 2006) by positing that boundary goals are a subgoal in the goal hierarchy. The authors predicted that performance approach goals would be associated with higher boundary goals, whereas performance avoidance goals would be associated with lower boundary goals. The authors further predicted that boundary goals would mediate the association between achievement goals and performance, independent of other target goals (i.e., levels of aspiration). The authors also evaluated whether …
A Self-Regulatory Framework For Message Framing, Katherine Corker
A Self-Regulatory Framework For Message Framing, Katherine Corker
Katherine S. Corker
After several decades of research on message framing, there is still no clear and consistent answer to the question of when emphasizing positive or negative outcomes in a persuasive message will be most effective. Whereas early framing research considered the type of recommended behavior (health-affirming vs. illness-detection) to be the determining factor, more recent research has looked to individual differences to answer this question. In this paper, we incorporate both approaches under a single framework. The framework describes the multiple self-regulatory levels at which a message can be framed and predicts when framing at each level will be most effective. …
High Quality Direct Replications Matter: Response To Williams, Katherine Corker
High Quality Direct Replications Matter: Response To Williams, Katherine Corker
Katherine S. Corker
We respond to Williams’ (2014) comments on our three failures to replicate of Study 2 from Williams and Bargh (2008). We clarify our conclusions on this topic, making clear that although the results of our studies cast doubt on the specific effect reported in Williams and Bargh (i.e., that instant hot and cold packs influence choice of reward for self or friend), a more complete understanding of the embodiment hypothesis in question requires consideration of relevant conceptual replications. Accordingly, we consider the strength of the evidence in the conceptual replications that Williams identifies and find that small samples appear to …
Conscientiousness In The Classroom: A Process Explanation., Katherine Corker
Conscientiousness In The Classroom: A Process Explanation., Katherine Corker
Katherine S. Corker
Although the research literature has established that Conscientiousness predicts task performance across a variety of achievement contexts (e.g., ; ), comparatively less is known about the processes that underlie these relations. To the latter end, the current research examines effortful strategies and achievement goals as mediating factors that might explain why people with higher levels of Conscientiousness are predicted to reach higher levels of academic performance. In a longitudinal study, 347 college students completed measures of personality and achievement goals at the beginning of the class, followed by measures of effortful strategies multiple times throughout the semester. Results support the …
The Development Of Achievement Goals Throughout College, Katherine Corker
The Development Of Achievement Goals Throughout College, Katherine Corker
Katherine S. Corker
Emerging adulthood, defined for many by the college years, is an active period of personality development; less is known about goal change during these years. We investigated stability and change in the 2 × 2 model of achievement goals over 4 years (N = 527). We evaluated rank-order stability and mean-level change, and testedgoal coupling hypotheses—the idea that early changes in goals predict later change in other goals—using multivariate latent difference score models. Achievement goals showed moderate rank-order stability over 4 years. Three of four goals demonstrated small normative declines, excepting performance approach goals. A change in mastery approach goals …
Replication Of ‘‘Experiencing Physical Warmth Promotes Interpersonal Warmth’’ By Williams And Bargh, Katie Corker
Replication Of ‘‘Experiencing Physical Warmth Promotes Interpersonal Warmth’’ By Williams And Bargh, Katie Corker
Katherine S. Corker
We report the results of three high-powered, independent replications of Study 2 from Williams and Bargh (2008). Participants evaluated hot or cold instant therapeutic packs before choosing a reward for participation that was framed as a prosocial (i.e., treat for a friend) or self-interested reward (i.e., treat for the self). Williams and Bargh predicted that evaluating the hot pack would lead to a higher probability of making a prosocial choice compared to evaluating the cold pack. We did not replicate the effect in any individual laboratory or when considering the results of the three replications together (total N = 861). …

Effect Of Retiring Custom Web Applications On Business And Information Technology Alignment, Shubhashree Thekahally
Shubhashree Thekahally 7340504
Web applications provide the information technology (IT) implementation of business and align IT with business. Retirement of IT applications should ensure stability of business and IT alignment. The current study investigated the alignment gaps created between business and IT resulting from retiring IT software applications. The purpose of this study was to identify IT integration points with business and provide a process-based solution that sustained IT alignment with business after retiring IT applications. The theoretical framework strategic alignment model aided in identifying 3 IT domains as the IT integration points with business: enterprise architecture, configuration management database, and service-level agreement. …
