On the truth in the rhetoric – An adduction through a discussion of Gorgias and Socrates point of views
Abazi, Hajdin
The object of this treatise is a comparison between Gorgias and Socrates views on rhetoric, namely the truth in rhetoric.
The two prominent scholars of Greek antiquity, Gorgias as an expert on rhetoric and Socrates as a well-known philosopher, have attempted to examine the basics of rhetoric. Democracy has made rhetoric a high value of ancient Greek society, as well as an approach to enunciate, review and argue in public on various issues. As a tool of public communication, addressed to the attendees to convince them regarding an issue submitted for discussion and to fulfill its mission in the best to society, rhetoric should have support in the truth. This is the point at which both ancient scholars agree. But the issue is seen from a different point of view, and both defending their own views bring arguments and counter-arguments, which are worth even today.
The purpose of this paper is that, through confrontational approach and interpretation, to set diverse views and to reach a conclusion on the truth in rhetoric.

Geopolitics of Albania – possibility of involving Republic of Kosovo in the pipeline – TAP
Bilalli, Mersel
In the Balkans, European countries and the rest of the world fought fierce battles over who will control the gas pipelines, which means not only financial benefits but also powerful geopolitical positions of the countries.
After the failure of two major Balkan gas pipelines – the project “South Stream” and “Nabucco”, the project TAP (Trans-Adriatic Pipelines) definitely won the battle, becoming the largest gas project in the Balkans in the last 100 years. This project will turn Albania into a very important energy artery in Europe. This will significantly affect the dynamics of the economic development of Albania, creating over 15 thousand new jobs with the pipeline in the next five years and over a billion euros will be gained from tax transition in the next 20 years.
TAP Project is currently predicted to have two branches of its own. The first one is the branch tube which will be connected to the main TAP pipeline in Greece and will continue through Bulgaria (180 kilometers long), and is also expected to continue through Romania and Hungary towards Central Europe. The other branch, the so-called – IAP (Ionian-Adriatic Pipeline), will supply Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia, while an additional branch of it will pass through Macedonia and Kosovo.
There is no dilemma that this project will be very important not only for the development of the region, but also for its stabilization and integration.

North Korea’s and Iranian Nuclear Program- Comperative aproach
Lecaj, Mentor
This paper aims to compare these two cases, to create a clear problematic overview, which representing today these countries to regional and global security, and solving this dispute with adequate means. By comparing the legal, political and diplomatic effects of these two nuclear programs, which affect the most powerful security strategies of countries in the world, this work paper intends to draw a line between their differences.
The methodology to be used in this paper, it will be analysis of literature, international legal acts and declarations of the states’ representatives which are involved in resolving the crisis or which are part of the problem.
The findings of this study relate to that: even existing of common elements between these cases, there are important differences between them. The same applicable legal instruments and diplomatic means resolution of these crises do not have the same effects on them. This it makes that each of this case to be unique, and unmatched in resolving the crisis.
Taken into consideration the existing literature on this issue, this paper modestly trying to fulfill the scientific gap in terms of finding the differences in these cases, as well as possible application instruments in resolving the nuclear crisis in the future.

Intelligibility of spoken Albanian language by using multimedia applications like skype and viber
Prevalla, Blerta; Shala, Altin
This paper intends to analyze subjective measurements of intelligibility of speech in Albanian language during the conversation between two people using applications which today is very used for communication such as Skype and Viber
Intelligibility of speech has to do with the clarity of speech that is heard, meaning of the entry of the system we have words without meaning while to the exit we mark what is heard. Speech intelligibility represents the percentage of correctly recognized words to the number of words uttered at the entrance. The measurement is done as follows: on the entry part of the transmission system sentences or words are spoken or just syllables while on receiving part is recorded what is heard; the percentage of words, sentences or syllables correctly received, on proportion to those imposed on the entry of the system, provides the percentage of intelligibility (the words, sentences or syllables).
A concrete example of why is needed digitalization of the Albanian language and why should we design models and algorithms for this is the case of Google Search by Voice, where even if you speak a word that is not clear in English language, the system finds the closest potential word and generates it.
Methods of measurements are made at different speed of the Internet, in an environment without noise and with noise, in order to see the impact on understanding of the speech with different target parameters.
