Natural Lighting Of Museums, Shkurte Dalipi
Natural Lighting Of Museums, Shkurte Dalipi
UBT International Conference
One of the basic conditions for a higher efficiency of museums is the lighting of their spaces. Proper and balanced lighting helps to focus attention, to create an aesthetic connection between the observer and the work of art as well as to realize a modification to emphasize a conceptual idea. To achieve the maximum lighting needed to highlight exhibits, museums use natural light. They often also consume a lot of electricity when using artificial light. To reduce electricity consumption and to ensure that museum objects are authentically exhibited, most museums have begun to integrate as many natural light solutions as …

Determination Of The Type Of Turbines For Use In Restelica 1,2 And 3 Hydropower Plants Based On The Natural Characteristics Of The River, Bukurije Hoxha
UBT International Conference
The focus of this paper describes the designing procedure of Small hydro power plant implemented in Restelica River, Kosovo. For normal operation of the Small hydro power plant, there must be done measurements of the river basin annually water flow, hydraulic net head of water, to calculate sustainability of water flow, flow duration curve, flow rate, configuration units depending on flow rate etc. The choice of the turbines was made depending on head and flow rate of water from which has resulted in the installation of different turbines that have fit better those conditions. The head losses in penstock are …

Profitability And Efficiency Of The Bulgarian Banks – Large, Medium-Sized And Small Banks, Irina Petkova Kazandzhieva-Yordanova
UBT International Conference
The paper analyses different indicators ROA, ROE, net interest margin, net noninterest margin /fees and commissions/, deposit growth, credit growth, as well as the ratios Loans-to-Deposits, Own Capital-to-Assets and the main components of the asset side of the balance sheet as loans, financial instruments and monetary funds for the large and medium-sized and small banks in Bulgaria. These indicators are analyzed individually for each bank but conclusions are drawn on the group level – large banks and medium-sized and smaller banks. The analysis show that the bigger banks have higher ROA and ROE for the analyzed period compared with the …

UBT International Conference
Since the beginning of human existence, housing is considered one of the basic elements for survival and protection from difficult natural conditions. The purpose of this research is to treat underground homes, as a new form of residence. In addition, the study will seek to discover the underground houses that were developed in Switzerland, China and Greece as constructions and that have gained good results in the field of housing, integration of outdoor construction, design and saving energy. The research is intended to serve as a basic, basis for informing the typologies, advantages, and disadvantages of the underground houses. Kosovo, …

The urgent need for energy consumption reduction and trends of global warming leads toward exploring possibilities to “hide” living space from explosion to climate changes as a result of global warming. This paper aims to present benefits of underground houses, underground living space. Housing is elementary process of mankind life that was performed from the existence of life in different forms, shapes, levels and social developments. House, as one used to get protected by phenomena of the nature, historically used in different shapes, levels and materials, created mentality that one percept as protective, and isolated space, for life activities. This …

Mechatronics In Electrical Efficiency And Environmental Impact, Sherif Hyseni
UBT International Conference
This paper focuses on the mechatronic technology development, and its influent on electrical efficiency with a direct result in cost and environment. Considering the well-known European Union standard “20-20-20” and the possibility and responsibility of Kosovo in this field, the role of energy efficiency has great impact for future directions. This paper refers to a new technology solution for heating that is available on the local market, called “DAIKIN” by analyzing the functionality of this device and its promise to save up to 40% of the heating costs. Implementation of “DAIKIN” technology in state institutions in Prishtina, and also the …
