The Role Of Coal In The Implementation Of The Green Transition Agenda In Kosovo, Nexhmi Krasniqi, Armend Ymeri
UBT International Conference
The recent global energy crisis—fueled by geopolitical tensions, increased energy demand, and persistent dependence on fossil fuels—has highlighted the fragility of current energy systems and the urgent need for a sustainable transformation. High and inefficient energy consumption, closely linked to industrial growth and urban development, continues to undermine ecological balance and accelerate climate change. While technological progress has improved access to renewable sources and advanced energy systems, it has not yet reached the scale or pace required to fully counteract the environmental consequences of unsustainable practices. In response, the European Union has placed the Green Transition and full Decarbonization at …
How Ai Is Changing The Field Of Design, Gjoko Muratovski
How Ai Is Changing The Field Of Design, Gjoko Muratovski
UBT International Conference
Generative design technology, powered by AI, is already shifting the role of the designer— from that of a producer or creator to that of a curator. For designers with strong critical thinking skills, well-developed analytical capabilities, and confidence in framing complex problems, this technology is quickly becoming an asset. For those who rely primarily on technical execution and require detailed design briefs to be provided to them, this technology is now becoming a detriment. In this talk, Prof. Gjoko Muratovski will discuss how to use AI effectively to futureproof design careers and enhance the ability to drive design-led innovation.

Multispectral Pedestrian Detection In Low-Light Conditions: Infrared, Visible, And Fusion-Based Approaches For Cctv Applications, Ylli Rexhaj, Redon Rexhepi, Arxhend Jetullahu, Ideal Rafuna
UBT International Conference
Reliable pedestrian detection under low-light conditions remains a big challenge for intelligent surveillance and autonomous monitoring systems. Visible (VIS) or RGB sensor fail in darkness due to limited illuminations, while in the other hand infrared (IR) camera lack fine visual texture. This paper presents an adaptive multispectral pedestrian detection framework to address these limitations that combines the strengths of VIS and IR modalities through Weighted Boxes Fusion (WBF) applied to separately trained YOLOv8 models. Three variants of YOLOv8 the nano, small and medium models were trained independently on the LLVIP dataset. During inference, their outputs were merged using WBF with …

UBT International Conference
Ribosomes, as essential cellular machines for protein synthesis, are tightly regulated in normal cells but become dysregulated during cancer development, contributing to uncontrolled proliferation and biomass accumulation. Increased ribosome biogenesis and mutations in ribosomal proteins are hallmark features of many cancers. These alterations often lead to ribosomal stress, triggering p53-mediated cellular responses, a key tumor suppressor pathway frequently mutated or inactivated in malignancies. Advances in understanding ribosome-related molecular pathways have paved the way for novel anti-cancer therapies targeting ribosome biogenesis, ribosomal protein function, and associated signaling cascades. Additionally, the formation of polyploid giant cancer cells (PGCCs) contributes to tumor heterogeneity …

Socializing Math Equally? Exploring Gendered Assumptions In The Home Learning Environment, Besjanë Krasniqi, Susan Sonnenchein, Michele Stites, Emma Snyder
UBT International Conference
Although many parents believe they treat their children the same, subtle gender differences in how they support math learning may go unnoticed. This study examined how parents perceive their math socialization practices and whether they believe these would differ if their child were a different gender. Forty primary caregivers (88% mothers) of children aged 4–9 were interviewed about the home math environment. While all parents stated that math is equally important for boys and girls, 40% framed this around gender equality, 68% mentioned universal relevance, and 10% mentioned gendered differences in math ability. When asked how their behavior might change …

Spoken Language Transfer From Albanian Into English And Lexical Anglicisms Used In Albanian Among 8th Grade Students At “Emin Duraku” Lower Secondary School In Prishtina - A Case Study, Bekim Emini
UBT International Conference
This case study explores spoken language transfer and anglicisms used among 8thgrade lower secondary students at ‘Emin Duraku’ school in Prishtina. Using a 14-item selfdeveloped questionnaire, this study examined grammatical, semantical and lexical-level language transfer from Albanian into English and the use of common anglicisms. Six students took part in the study by orally rendering words, phrases and sentences and by identifying anglicisms. Study results revealed some negative language transfer in oral translations. Food, sports and technology anglicisms were used correctly; some students’ responses were target-like, especially general and specific-field anglicisms used in Albanian.

Empirical Analysis Of The Impact Of Fdi, Trade Openness And Human Capital On Economic Growth Case: Western Balkans (Wb6), Ardian Uka, Erzana Uka
UBT International Conference
In economic literature, a country's real economic growth—measured by the annual growth of real GDP—is frequently the primary approach of analysis. This method eliminates the impact of inflation, allowing for a constant evaluation of economic development. This approach serves as the basis for the study's investigation of the effects of a number of important variables on economic growth, including trade openness, the Human Development Index (HDI), and foreign direct investment (FDI). These factors were chosen because they are relevant to regional dynamics and global trends in the Western Balkans, or WB6, as they are popularly known in this research. Albania, …
