    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[W. B. Yeats’ Postmodern Apocalyptic View]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Key words: W. B. Yeats, deconstruction, postmodernism, apocalyptic  ABSTRACT  Postmodernism, a rather vague term, escapes any centralized framework attempting to define it. This might be the reason Derrida denied the attachment of any isms to his theories which construct one of the mainstream critical foundations of any postmodernist reading. In other words, defining certain techniques and frameworks to include or exclude a literary work into/from a defined postmodernist context is a flaw which questions the very foundations of postmodernism itself. Postmodernism might better be called a vogue, a stream, even an era rather than a specific movement, not an era ascribed to the post-world war period only, but to any era which goes beyond the accepted norms and conventions of the dominant discourse of its own time. In this regard, W.B. Yeats had a post modern apocalyptic vision which prophesied the upcoming of an age in which “Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; /Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world.”  Generally agreed, the antinomies in Yeats&#039;s poetry turns out to be reconciliation between the old hostilities of the good/bad, soul/flesh, etc., which attempts to arrive at a unity holding both parts. Yeats’s juxtaposing rather than reconciling the old vs. new ideas is a postmodern attitude. In this way, we might call Yeats as a poet who not only prophesied the coming of the postmodern era, but also a precursor of postmodernity in his verse as well as his apocalyptic work, A Vision. This paper is an attempt to analyze Yeats’s late poetry in the context of Derridean deconstruction and difference.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[W. G. Sebald&#039;s Austerlitz and the Emigrants: Suffering Absorbed into the Setting of Human History]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Key words: suffering, history, Austerlitz, The Emigrants Bushehr  ABSTRACT  History can be viewed both as a science and a form of remembrance. This means that it is an experience which has the capacity of bringing the past into presence while keeping the two in tension. The tension is due to the fact that remembrance makes the forgotten events in the past appear in the present through disruption. Therefore, remembrance is an experience that does not allow us to see history as a cumulative. Not only does it force its invincible story to fragment but our very existence as responses to the suffering in the past is refashioned. This is what happens in Sebald’s works. The reader is placed in a position to remember events of ruined lives, thus preventing us to see history as progress without ruins and destruction; this, in turn, calls into question our own tranquility. The Emigrants interrupts the flow of history by depicting the protagonists’ attempted homecomings, only to find mere ruins of their personal histories. Here Sebald has a retrospective look into the silent and pervasive presence of the traumatic legacy of unspoken horror. The Emigrants seems to be a kind of album dedicated to the lives and sufferings of people who surely would have otherwise been forgotten. The next work, Austerlitz, illustrates an adult expected to reconstruct his forgotten origins in order to discover his true identity. It is novel about the delayed and deferred sufferings of an orphan. It can also be regarded as critique of European social history. Here the protagonist tries uselessly to recall his own life, but cannot eradicate the fifty years of not remembering, driving him to increasing despair. Sebald’s works are concerned to a great degree with the suffering body. The slight shift of perspective brought about by physical pain is both the driving force and the structural principle of Sebald’s narratives. This paper is an attempt to examine how W. G. Sebald&#039;s narrative establishes the interrelation between history and suffering.]]></dcterms:abstract>

A Look Back at Twenty Years of American Presence]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The history of Afghanistan is abundant in crises, coups, assassinations, political intrigues, as well<br />
as invasions and conquests. The last 40 years have been marked by long crises and conflicts:<br />
Soviet invasion 1979-1989, the civil war 1989-2001, the American invasion 2001-2021 with<br />
disastrous consequences for the country and the people. The invasion carried out in the name of<br />
‘war on terrorism’, ‘bringing democracy’ and ‘freedom’, as a matter of fact, led to instability,<br />
turmoil, sectarian wars, deaths of tens of thousands of civilians and the formation of new terrorist<br />
organizations in the country, rather than peace and stability. War has become commonplace in<br />
Afghanistan. Once seen as the ‘shining star’ of Central Asia, Afghanistan is now known as the<br />
country exporting terrorism, drugs and refugees. The paper aims at showing causes and<br />
consequences of two decades long American presence in Afghanistan that left lasting imprint on<br />
Afghan society.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Waste Disposal and Recycling in Albania: Case of Lezha Town]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Albania as a developing country has many social and economic problems and waste is one of them. In every corner of Albania there are waste thrown out on the street and lands. This is mainly caused by the negligence of both people and the central and local governments. Communism period has made people as such and they were not aware of protecting the environment. The second reason for having a waste problem in Albania is that there is a lack of infrastructure and equipment where to dispose or recycle the waste. As one of the main goals of Albania is to join the EU there are criteria to fulfill. Therefore, the governments since 2002 have been adopting the EU legislation about recycling of the waste. Only after 2009 some example of application have been seen and the governments are concerning more on this issue because of the EU&#039;s strong advise for putting those legislation into practice. Currently there are 60 recycling companies operating and two new landfills are created to dispose of waste. In Albania the waste can be managed only by landfill and recycling. Recently the government passed a law to permit importing waste in Albania, but a referendum about this law will be held as a final decision. The town of Lezha is the first successful example where the waste is collected in different containers and recycled. In this paper Lezha example will be evaluated by employing primary data taken from Lezha municipality, statistics of INSTAT of Albania and the Ministry of Environment of Albania.  The example of Lezha must be adopted by all other municipalities in order to have a clean Albania. Recycling and successful waste management are among the key indicators of advancement, and these two will contribute to development of the economy and living standards in Albania.

]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Waste management is a major issue in modern cities. Many places have difficulties with collecting, sorting, and disposing of waste in an efficient way. The Waste Management System project addresses these problems by using a software application. The system helps organize and optimize the process of waste collection, track vehicles, manage employees, and keep records of containers and routes.<br />
<br />
A three-layer architecture is used: Data Access Layer (DAL), Business Logic Layer (BLL), and API Layer. The DAL stores and manages the data in a database. The BLL contains the main logic for how the system works. The API Layer allows users and other systems to interact with the application through web requests. The user interface is implemented with modern web technology, React, which makes the system easy to use and accessible from any device. C# and ASP.NET Core are used for development.<br />
<br />
The results show that the system can make waste management more efficient. It becomes easier to assign tasks, monitor progress, and generate reports. In conclusion, this project can help cities or companies improve their waste management process and reduce problems related to waste.<br />

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Keywords: Nanoparticles, wastewater treatment, environmental clean-up technologies  ABSTRACT  Particles nano-sized have been present on earth since time immemorial. Human beings have used nanoparticles for thousands of years. Recently, the use of manufactured nanoparticles in industrial and commercial applications have became considerable widespread. Nanoparticles based immobilization technology, which purposed to enhance removal efficiencies, tends to be a novel treatment method. The most commonly used materials such as iron oxides, Fe2O3, Fe3O4, TiO2, ZnO have several special properties: high surface area, adsorption capacity, unsaturated surfaces, simple operation and simple production. In this study, the latest applications of nanoparticles in wastewater treatment were discussed and investigated in terms of environmental clean-up technology.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Water for Sustainable Development: Example from Past to Future]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Freshwater is not only a finite resource that is imperative for sustainable  development but also economic growth, political and social stability, human and ecosystem  health, and poverty eradication. While water issues have long been on the international  agenda, the debate on how to meet the growing global demand for freshwater has intensified  in recent years: over 800 million people currently lack access to safe drinking water, while  about 2.5 billion lack access to adequate sanitation.  In response to these challenges, the World Water Forum was initiated as a platform to include  water issues on the international agenda. The WWC, an international policy think-tank  established in 1996, addresses global concerns over the pressures on the Earth’s freshwater  resources.  Besides todays global water issues,the historical example given below is a way to enlight our  future by the means os usage and management of the water suplies. In XVI. Century in  Istanbul there was a strong scarcity on water. The increasing population and welfare by time,  the consumption of water has increased during the time. The water supply systems were not  sufficient for Istanbul. The dimension of this scarcity was mentioned by Selaniki. One bottle  of water was 15 akçe. Those days, a worker’s daily wage was 6 akçe. A skillled worker’s  daily wage was 12 akçe. Due to these problems ; in 1554 Suleiman the Magnificient ordered  his architect Sinan to supply water to the Đstanbul from the forests located on the north of the  city. The grand vizier of Sultan, opposed this huge project because of its cost. The grand  vizier notified that if the water comes to the city in large amounts; the Đstanbul would became  to an attractive position for people from many nations and occupations.This would cause the  increase in the population of the city coming aside with many other problems.  Kanuni has endowed 5 villages and a town for the finance of this big investment. Kanuni  mentioned that his will is “fountains should be built to every district. To the high places that,  the consturction of fountain is impossible the fresh water well should be placed. By that the  old people, poor women, infants can full their water caps and that they can pray for the  continuity of regality.  In the consensus of Istanbul given by the 5.th World Water Forum was a reflection from an  event held centuries ago. The contribution of Kanuni is an event that still should enlight  todays modern approaches toward the use of water. “Access to good quality water and  sanitation is a basic right for all human beings and plays an essential role in life and  livelihoods, the preservation of the health of the population and the fight against poverty.”]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Is fresh water a truly renewable resource? This paper argues that  freshwater for human use is threatened by climate change, fossil water extraction and  globalization processes that will exacerbate problems of access to potable water as a  human right and challenge water governance on local, regional, national and global  scales. Using concept maps to examine the structure of the world water system, we  argue that an emerging global water crisis can only be addressed by understanding  the multiple linkages that tie individuals, institutions and issues to paradigms of water  management that threaten the sustainability of fresh water use. By deconstructing the  global water crisis into interlocking systems of issues and influence, we identify core  questions in maintaining water as a sustainable resource.]]></dcterms:abstract>
