Abstract

Children with intellectual disabilities experience deficits in all the areas of adaptive function and some other aspects, unfortunately little is known about the independent functioning among gender and age related to these impairments in this type of neurogenetic disorders as intellectual disabilities. Adaptive behavior is essential for an optimal functioning in these categories. 53 participants aged between 5 and 11 in school years have been administered the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Montreal Cognitive Assessment scale (MoCA) and Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices (IQ). Motor abilities are the area that is more affected in children with intellectual disabilities with a significant impairment appeared at an early age, which remain low even in the following years. These differences are potentially oriented by the etiologies related to the disorder. Adaptive behavior is an important area of challenge for children with intellectual disabilities throughout their development. Daily living skills and competencies are also a significant strength in relation to other areas of adaptive functioning.

Abstract

The Protocol on Trade Liberalization is one of the first five protocols that were originally annexed to the Treaty of ECOWAS. It was signed at Lome, Togo on November 5th 1976. To give further impetus to the Protocol, the Authority of Heads of States and Government at a summit held in Dakar, Senegal from July 25-27, 1992 adopted some modifications of the Trade Liberalization Scheme. With the sweeping torrent of Globalization, ECOWAS member-states have found themselves in a dilemma. The dilemma arises from the fact that pursuing the goals of integration and at the same time embracing the gains of globalization creates a paradox. The study investigates whether ECOWAS Protocol on Trade Liberalization enhanced intra-African trade more than trade with third countries with the emergence of globalization. It is anchored on the neo-functionalist theory and made use of documentary method of data collection. The study contends that intra-African trade within ECOWAS has declined with globalization while trade with third countries has increased. The implication is that the stimulation and synergy of economies of member-states which Trade Liberalization is supposed to engender has been weakened. The study recommends a further revision of the provisions of the Trade Liberalization scheme by ECOWAS member states to align with the emerging realities of globalization. It further recommends the improvement of transportation infrastructure in the sub-region and mustering of political will by the leaders to implement their resolutions, among others.

Abstract

Pursuant to Law no. 65/2016 “On social enterprises in the Republic of Albania”, the Albanian lawmakers have aimed to regulate the exercise of the profitable activities of non-profit organizations by providing a legal solution and improving the regulatory framework of the so-called, in some countries, the third sector (which is not included neither in state-owned nor in private commercial entities). The law hereof aims to regulate the exercise of non-profit commercial activities, by limiting the types of entities allowed to be non-profit organizations, and therefore leaving the trading companies out of scope. Regarding the object of the law, in order to protect and socially include the vulnerable groups, its scope is limited to employment, provision of employment opportunities, provision of goods and services and economic and social integration for the ulnerable groups, therefore it has set some restrictions on the legal notion of social enterprise. Despite the great legislative work and the good will to finally regulate and stimulate an innovative sector such as the social enterprise, in the de iure condito debate it was mentioned that there is still room for improvement in this part of the legislation, which has not given any or has given only a few effects in practice. Therefore, by analyzing the Albanian legislation in the sector, we aim to provide an explanatory description of Law no. 65/2016 but at the same time, de iure condendo, to ask for a better addressing of the problems that have arisen in practice, in the light of the European and foreign legislation, jurisprudence and doctrine in this field.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of Company Risk, Liquidity, Leverage and Capital Adequacy Ratio on Earning Management and whether Capital Adequacy Ratio moderates the relation between Company Risk, Liquidity and Leverage and Earning Management of Banking Companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2014-2018. Sampling techniques uses purposive sampling based on determined criteria and data analysis is performed by multiple regression analysis using E-Views 11.0 version. The result shows that in partial, Company Risk positively, Liquidity and Capital Adequacy negatively affects significantly on Earning Management, while Leverage does not and in the other side Capital Adequacy Ratio only moderates the relation between Liquidity and Earning Management. All variables simultaneously affect weakly on Earning Management. This research implies that due to weakly impact result, banking management must reobserve the role of Company Risk, Liquidity, Leverage and Capital Adequacy Ratio in executing Earning Management.

Abstract

The global spread of neoliberalism has brought with it an increase in practices of outsourcing and subcontracting, and, consequently, the flourishing of private security services which rely on them. In Israel, these trends, combined with the unique security climate, have encouraged the development of a distinct sub-sector of private security in the form of school security. The rise of private security services has generated research interest. Most studies, however, focus on socio-economical aspects rather than on security guards' personal perspectives. This tendency is even more pronounced regarding school security guards and, to date, no studies have been carried out in Israel examining their viewpoint. This study aimed to address this lacuna by bringing in school security guards’ voice in order to learn from and about them. The study’s approach was qualitative, and the main tool was semi-structured interviews, accompanied by observations and document analysis. The study's findings reveal that the world of Israeli school security guards is informed by one fundamental quality. This quality is liminality, and it colors their experiences, perceptions, and professional relations. Israeli school security guards are always on the threshold: between belonging and not-belonging to their workplace; between commitment to and alienation from their work; between being needed yet disrespected. The paper suggests that this liminality is connected to the global socio-economical changes, and furthermore, it expresses a central aspect of Israeli society, which swings between two incompatible ethe: the security ethos and the neoliberal ethos.

Abstract

China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is considered as a game-changer for Pakistan and for the whole region. The whole region of Pakistan can take benefits of the projects of CPEC carried out under the umbrella of One Belt One Road initiative. This paper is aimed to explore the regional dynamics of CPEC and Indian antagonistic role towards this project. Pakistan is one of the prime states in China one belt one road initiatives. China is executing a multiyear investment in multibillion dollars program and termed it China Pakistan Economic Corridor. Several projects are included in this plan for instance Industry, communication infrastructure and energy which cost almost USD 46 billion. It is expected that CPEC will contributes remarkably in reducing poverty and socio-economic development of Pakistan. Thus, keeping in view, the benefits of CPEC, most of the analyst claimed it to be the most important mega project in Pakistan. They also claim that it will greatly benefit the people of both countries i.e. Pakistan and China. Received: 28 October 2020 / Accepted: 5 December 2020 / Published: 17 January 2021

Abstract

The multi religions Albania passed last century from a country where atheism was the constitutional principle in a country where the basic card guarantees not only the freedom of religion but also the freedom from religion. Today, in order of guaranteeing the freedom of belief, the Constitution of Republic of Albania expresses principles which protect the religious freedom, starting from its preamble. Indeed, the preamble has no legal force but stated goals and assists in the interpretation of provisions. The spirit, with which the preamble stated, is that of tolerance and religious coexistence, in a vision where the people are responsible for the future with faith in God or other universal values. This statement reinforces the principle of secularism of the state where the latter appears as the guarantor of religious freedom by knowing in this perspective the beliefs that "sovereign" could have and can develop. In this context, the real guarantee is given to us by Article 24 of the Constitution which expressly guarantees the freedom of conscience and religion, in a perspective where any person has the right to choose if changing or not his religion or belief, so that this article appears not only as a guarantor of freedom of religion but also as a guarantor of freedom from religion. In a context like that of Albania, where for 40 years the religious freedom has been denied, and because of religious beliefs was conducted genocide, cannot be missing in its Constitution this freedom. Today it appears more consolidated than ever, from a vision that guarantees such as the freedom to choose and change religion by manifesting them freely in public or in private life, into a vision that guarantees also negative freedom or atheism. The purpose of this paper is to point out that otherwise than the socialist Constitution of 1976- which provided anti-religious atheism forms in a context where the faith was determined by the state, based in a "monotheistic" ideology and realized through policy, which denied any type of faith beyond what the material world of communist ideology had in foundation- the current one appears, secular and neutral in matters of religious faith by guaranteeing a as consequence the atheist beliefs as well.

Abstract

Non profitable organizations have been contributing in the development of state and society for a long time. These are generally praised for their progressive agendas. However, occasionally these have also been blamed for having some hidden agenda. This requires strict monitoring and evaluation of this sector. Different policies have been introduced in the past for this purpose. However, some of them have been found to be working for foreign agendas. Therefore, it is extremely important to comprehend the effectiveness of the monitoring and evaluation policies in Pakistan. This paper is focused on different monitoring and evaluation policies and compared it with the policy of PML (N) government (2013-18) to bring to limelight the strengths and weakness of such policies. The research paper is primarily designed to find out comprehensive study that how the government presently monitored the working of NGOs. The analysis will help the policy makers to evaluate the working of NGOs in an effective way. Received: 28 October 2020 / Accepted: 5 December 2020 / Published: 17 January 2021
