UBT International Conference
In the recent history of the modernization of dwelling and housing culture, much attention has been given to oral history methodology. However, less research has been done on 1960’s houses and very little on actual homeowners’ firsthand experiences in their homes in Kayseri, Turkey. For this reason, this study attempts to use oral history as a way to critically understand how the modern home was built and how residents lived in the space in the 1960’s. In this context, the Akdamar Family Apartment is assumed to provide a large corpus of data, documenting the living, subjective, social, cultural, and dialectical …
“Political Correctness” – A Threat To Free Speech? Overcoming The Dilemma, Lothar Tschapka
“Political Correctness” – A Threat To Free Speech? Overcoming The Dilemma, Lothar Tschapka
UBT International Conference
The concept of Political Correctness (PC) arose in the United States in the 1970s. For the past 30 years, it has been subject to criticism as constituting a threat to the “liberty of speech”, as well as a contribution to media bias. The dilemma of PC lies in the fact that, although it aims to protect human and civic rights, it may also result in the exact opposite, namely the diminishing of such rights as the free utterance of thoughts. However, civilised societies are in need of strategies to deal with phenomena such as racism, sexism, hate speech, online firestorms …
Faith-Based Peacebuilding Challenges In The Republic Of Kosovo, Xhemail Çupi
Faith-Based Peacebuilding Challenges In The Republic Of Kosovo, Xhemail Çupi
UBT International Conference
In order to realize coexistence between conflicting communities, it must initially precede a participant, consensual, moralistic and even civic political culture that would end with a tolerant dialogue between them. Reopening negotiations between Kosovo and Serbia with the European Union involvement marks the beginning, but not the end, of a long-term process of normalizing relations among their citizens. Flooding inter-ethnic relations have usually had a negative impact on inter-religious relations, and in Kosovo, due to the close association of ethnicity and religion, this has been demonstrated with the destroying and damaging of sacred objects. Consequently, despite the fact that no …

Performance Analysis Of Java Persistence Api Providers, Besart Pllana
UBT International Conference
Nowadays, fast and accurate access to data is very important. Usually data is managed and processed through software applications. In recent years, the most preferred programming model by most application developers is Object Oriented Programming (OOP) where data is represented through objects. These data must be persistent and therefore needs to be stored, and storage can be done on a variety of databases. The most common databases are Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS). While persistence of objects in RDBMS is limited by object-relational mismatch which is the inconsistency of the direct interaction between two components based on different approaches, OOP …

Waste management system needs clear and strict management policy. They also need a process of evaluating and selecting the most appropriate landfill sites that respect the restrictions and constraints dictated by the presence of the population in that area, with respect to ecological ecosystems and other factors. In addition to the geographical and geological criteria and other specifications that are defined by traditional selection procedures, there are new factors adding to the old constraints and limitations. Urban waste is produced in large quantities in our cities, every year. As a result, the number of sites should increase with the population …

Nb-Iot: A Network Slice For Massive Iot, Xhafer Krasniqi
UBT International Conference
Network virtualisation is a concept that has been around for some time now, but the concept of network slicing is more recent and only started to be mentioned in the context of 5G. In essence, network slicing is a specific form of network virtualisation that enables sharing of physical resources by multiple logical network slices used to serve different applications and use cases. One such a use case would be to allocate network resources to small things, e.g. sensors and very low power consumption objects. To allow these small objects access to network resources or to a slice of such …

Biological systems are very complex regarding their kinetic behavior. There are many models that intend to predict fermentation performance, although Monod equation remains the best model. A detailed investigation of batch fermentation process at room temperature for two different types of yeast Sacharomyces carlsbegensis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae was carried out. Batch fermentation experiments were carried in 1 liter bioreactors, in the same medium, time and fermentation conditions. Kinetic constants were used to compare fermentation performance under similar conditions. Kinetic parameters investigation was done based on growth kinetics, ethanol productivity and substrate consumption (glucose) using computer simulation for different kinetic models. …
