Episode 3: Tarnished Gold, Sara Gras

Season 01

To better understand how and why sports are a part of education, this episode goes back to where they started. Although the culture of youth sports has certainly evolved, the purpose of interscholastic athletics really has not. Today, just like 100 years ago, educators value the role of sport in preparing kids for success in life. But the structures governing competition have always limited who can participate and how they are recognized. Many thanks to all the guests who contributed their thoughts.

Enhancing Real Estate Management: The Transformative Role Of Machine Learning In Predictive Gains And Risk Model Performance, Visar Hoxha, Blerta Demjaha, Veli Lecaj, Hazer Dana, Fuat Pallaska

UBT International Conference

Mortgage scoring models are pivotal in evaluating the risk associated with mortgages. Traditionally, these models were constructed using logistic regression. However, with the rise of machine learning, algorithms such as classification trees and neural networks have been employed. These algorithms are trained on a sample of mortgages, with the occurrence or non-occurrence of default observed. The data is then split into training and test samples, with machine learning algorithms further dividing the training sample for validation. This approach aims to determine hyperparameters that maximize performance while minimizing overfitting. Once calibrated, the model is applied to the test sample to predict …

Revolutionizing Real Estate Mortgage Scoring: The Superiority Of Machine Learning Over Traditional Statistical Methods, Visar Hoxha, Blerta Demjaha, Veli Lecaj, Hazer Dana, Fuat Pallaska

UBT International Conference

This paper explores the advantages of machine learning over traditional statistical methods in the context of real estate mortgage scoring. While traditional methods require extensive data preprocessing, machine learning offers a more streamlined and efficient approach. The financial industry is recognizing these benefits, with machine learning enabling faster mortgage application processing and reduced modeling biases. The findings underscore the potential of machine learning to revolutionize the financial sector.

Imposition Of Alternative Measures In North Macedonia And Comparison Of Probation In France And Croatia, Alma Doko

UBT International Conference

When the criminal offense is mentioned, the only association is the prison sentence, as a justification that the purpose of the punishment is achieved with it. But today, modern criminal law legislation is characterized by humanity and the request for the imposition of non-institutional sanctions, in the sense that it is not always possible to expect that the desired results will be achieved with the prison sentence, which is the fight against criminality, its prevention and suppression. Fierce criticism of the short-term prison sentence and the prison sentence for its emphasized retributive character led to the emergence of new sanctions …

Machine Learning In Mortgage Scoring: A Comparative Analysis With Traditional Statistical Methods, Visar Hoxha, Blerta Demjaha, Veli Lecaj, Hazer Dana, Fuat Pallaska

UBT International Conference

This paper delves into the comparative advantages of machine learning over traditional statistical methods in real estate mortgage scoring. By examining the efficiency, robustness, and productivity gains of machine learning, the study underscores its potential to transform the financial industry, particularly in mortgage application processing. The findings highlight the reduced need for extensive data preprocessing with machine learning and its implications for faster and more accurate mortgage decision-making.

Environmental Law And The Legal Framework For Integrat-Ing Impacts On Indoor Air Quality In Life Cycle Assessments, Afrim Syla, Visar Hoxha

UBT International Conference

Products used during construction and operation of a building can contribute to Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) problems that affect occupants’ well-being. However, IAQ is conven-tionally not addressed in the life cycle assessments (LCAs) of buildings and building related products even though IAQ leads to one of the areas of protection under LCA - human health impacts. In this study, we proposed an overall framework for integrating IAQ into LCA using the standard steps of LCA. The framework focused on IAQ and LCA modeling from two cate-gories of building related products:

1) passive products that realize their function through initial installation …

A Comparative Analysis Of Legal Restrictions Impacting Housing Prices: A Study Of Kosovo And Slovenia, Visar Hoxha, Egzone Osmanaj

UBT International Conference

The purpose of this study is to undertake a comparative analysis of the laws between Kosovo and Slovenia in terms of legal restrictions that affect housing prices. The present study uses a comparative analysis of laws that impose restrictions that affect the housing prices in Kosovo and Slovenia. The research found that both countries impose similar restrictions on building regulations such as sanitation, lighting, air quality, fire safety, and materials standards. Spatial and zoning laws in both countries regulate urban containment, population growth, and municipal development plans. This study provides a novel and comparative analysis of the impact of legal …

Lifelong Maintenance Contract In Kosovo: Regulatory Framework, Implementation, And Judicial Challenges, Jorida Xhafaj, Tringa Thaqi

UBT International Conference

According to Kosovo Law No. 04/L-077 on Obligation Relations, lifelong maintenance occurs when one contracting party (the maintaining party) undertakes to support the other contracting party or any other person (the maintained party), and the other contracting party declares that he/she will leave the former all or part of his/her property, which includes real estate and movable property intended for the use and enjoyment of the real estate, and the delivery thereof is postponed until the former dies. In order to provide a thorough examination taking into account its origins, developments, and how it responds to practical situations, this paper …

NDLS in the News

October 7 is being called Israel’s 9/11. The comparison is apt for the lessons that can be learned as to the legality of launching a ground offensive to respond to terrorism.

Copyright And Generative Ai: Insights From The Project On The Right To Research, Sean M. Fiil-Flynn

Joint PIJIP/TLS Research Paper Series

With the widespread launch of “generative AI” technology capable of creating music, art and text that could potentially substitute for the work of human creators, policy makers around the world are highly focused on how and whether copyright law should change in response. This paper summarizes results from studies that have been commissioned as part of the Project on the Right to Research in International Copyright coordinated by American University’s Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property. That project focuses on uses of copyrighted works in text and data mining technology by scientific researchers. The same text and data mining …

The Future Of The Criminal Legal System: How Should A Multidoor Criminal Courthouse Operate?, Cardozo Journal Of Conflict Resolution

2023 Event Invitations

As the push for criminal legal reform continues around the world and the impact of progressive prosecutors or bail reform is still being unpacked, the future of the criminal legal system is up for debate. Much like the creation of the multidoor civil courthouse—with options for negotiation, mediation, and other processes—what should a multidoor criminal courthouse look like in the future? How should evolving processes of restorative justice, problem solving courts, diversion sentencing, bail reform, and plea bargaining be structured and integrated in the future? What should the role of judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, crime victims, defendants and the public …

Awakening The Law Of Contraband In The Russia-Ukraine Conflict, Martin Fink

International Law Studies

Following the collapse of the Black Sea Grain Initiative, both Russia and Ukraine announced measures against shipping that may have introduced counter-contraband operations into the maritime dimension of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The law of contraband, which is at the heart of the law of naval warfare, regulates such operations. The law of contraband has, however, not been often used in current conflicts and some of its details are not crystalized as generally accepted law. Awakening this instrument in the current conflict brings questions for both belligerents and non-State parties, some of whom have adopted a position of qualified neutrality that …
