Mehmeti, Ilirijana; Telaku, Mimoza
Many researchers have put the work environment in the spotlight, anticipating that a positive environment would be valuable for enhancing employee satisfaction, which motivates them to be more efficient. The purpose of this research was to test the relationship between the perception of work environment and job satisfaction in high schools in the Municipality of Prishtina. The survey included 154 teachers in these schools. The results obtained in this study, for each dimension of the work environment, were analyzed according to the relevant theoretical framework. From the empirical results, it was found that there is a correlation between work environment and job satisfaction. These results indicate that there are positive correlations of sets of relationship dimensions, personal growth / goal orientation, and system change / maintenance with job satisfaction.

Philosophy in the Epoch of Alternative Facts: An Invitation from East Asia
Mikado, Naruhiko
The primary aim of this essay was to elucidate the unique philosophical concept of “the non-interpretive”, which Masaya Chiba, one of the most prominent philosophers in East Asia, formulated mainly by bridging the theories of Quentin Meillassoux and Graham Harman, who have generally been reckoned as two of the most pivotal proponents in the contemporary philosophical movement dubbed Speculative Realism. In order to achieve the aim, the first part clarified the chief arguments and doctrines of Meillassoux’s Speculative Materialism and Harman’s Object-Oriented Philosophy. Thereupon, the second and main part investigated how Chiba invented the concept, what it precisely meant, and what insights it could offer for us. The concluding section summarized the chief arguments of this paper and sketched a worldview which we could adopt in order to survive the turbulent epoch of alternative facts and post-truth.

Western Balkans and the Internal Integration Processes
Bilalli, Mersel
With the European flag, Germany is making great efforts to effect the Western Balkans’ internal integration, but obviously the resistance from the countries of the region is very strong. Finally, the Americans are preparing to convince Western Balkan leaders, with the “stick and carrot”, that their mutual integration in the region is not only beneficial for regional economic development but also for preserving world peace. Creating an economic or customs union would have multiple positive effects. The goal is to open a market of about twenty million people, which would vividly revive industry, commerce, agriculture, livestock, tourism, and so on. It would also greatly increase foreign investment. Above all, nations will have to come together in order to boost the region’s economic development, as well as regional peace and stability. Given the real conditions in the region, which are specific by their nature, the key questions arise – to what extent is this possible, what are the means and ways of achieving this, and in what dynamics is it likely to occur? To be able to give an appropriate answer to this complexity, we have primarily used the comparative analysis method, but also the method of critical review by several authors.

Forced Sterilization According to the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kosovo: Origin and Figure of the Criminal Offense
Shala Jonuzi, Vjosa
Forced sterilization is a phenomenon that in many countries of the world has been applied as a method of reducing the number of sexual crimes, although in its beginnings, it was applied to people with mental illness, immigrants, those who belonged to another race, especially non-white people, and mostly to women and girls. Despite its pronounced expansion, forced sterilization is a completely unknown phenomenon in Kosovo. Even in the criminal legislation that was applied in Kosovo, there was no incriminated action. But, being under constant pressure of the need to adapt to international documents, the criminal code should have included this criminal offense, although the Constitution of the country provides that “the Republic of Kosovo respects international law” (Article 16, al.3) and that “legally binding norms of international law take precedence over the laws of the Republic of Kosovo” (Article 19, al.2). Therefore, this article will address the meaning, short story and crime – forced sterilization, including a comparative aspect with different countries of the world. Given the approach from several perspectives, the functional, teleological and comparative analysis of the legal
