The aim of this paper is to facilitate students and teachers of literature in investigating different ballads and provide them a general insight in the way literature has been treated in both languages. The main method applied in this paper is the comparative one since this paper includes two different cultures where these ballads emerge from. Even though, the same form and structure are being shared by them, it is very significant to bring up that the representation of women in Anglo-Saxon ballads is quite different from the women in Albanian ballads. The paper will try to provide concrete examples and explanations in terms of the differences and similarities between these two types of ballads.

On the other hand, it should be noted that, in fact, cooperation with non-Communist political emigration countries came fading and this migration was losing its former importance as a force to hit the regime of Enver Hoxha. Western support for immigration was conspicuous in the field of anti-communist propaganda. Different countries like UK, USA, Italy, Greece, Yugoslavia Vatican, etc. made available to the political exiles their radios or created radio sound specialized centres for Albania and for the Diaspora. In these organs also worked several Albanian immigrants, mainly for programs in Albanian, as Tajar Zavalani, Andon Logoreci, Alfred Andoni etc., in BBC; dom Zef Shestani, Daniel Gjecaj , on radio Vatican, etc., and others in radio \"Free Europe\", \"Voice of America\" etc. where for example Talat Karagjozi worked for 30 years as director of the Albanian branch of Voice of America radio. In the 70s - 80s, the political emigration itself created several radios as the BK, Legality in the US. To maintain longer social-communist system, the Albanian government took some political Reaction against immigration during the period 1960-1990, which were very severe.

The author Ragip Sylaj comes to the reader with a new way of presentation, different in both poetic genre and that of the play he is trying to experiment with. The author is not unknown by the Albanian reader, he is represented in an anthology in Albanian and foreign languages. Despite the popularity of a writer has its own magic of surprise, since the moment he appears, he brings the reader close to himself with the pleasant surprises he presents. Poetry is the most developed genre of the author, without putting behind prose, essay, literary critic, and plays. Moving from a genre to another, of course, has its own difficulty, bringing an “adoption” of the writer. Except for adaption, there is self-finding. Self-finding is the orientation towards the kind of play, which most adapts with the esthetic propensity and the taste of the author. Sylaj, in his experiment on the play, has a clear course towards modern play, but in this case, the referring point is the reader. The modernity of Ragip Sylaj in the play doesn't stay only in the creative way of presenting the plays as anti-play, the hero as an antihero, but also in the text organizing. His “Two plays” can be read as a literary material, but also as purely dramatic texts, but in the last mentioned, the comfort turns into a headache for every director who wants to put these plays on the scene. The “headache” comes because of the fact that the director needs to have a literary material so as to convert it in a theater show needing directing and acting skills. The modernity in Ragip Sylaj's plays is noticed in the absurd “plateau” in which heroes-anti-heroes and drama-anti-drama proceeds. Although this is the basis, the author has managed to keep the basis out of religion. He has managed to make the biblical plot serve the dramatic subject, where the religion is turned in absurd and existentialism. The history of world literature knows many cases of the writers' orientation towards biblical subjects, creating such literary works which have withstood time. Literary History-writing is “born” during European Renaissance, with writers like Leggier, Boccaccio, later on with Dostoyevsky, Bodler, Camus, Proust etc. Each of them has artistically used the biblical subject, bringing us literary materials with creative patterns, symbols, hereafter (hell, heaven, purgatory). F. Kafka in “The Trial” brings us the trial for the Big Sin in an artistic way. The Bible is also called “The book of books”.

The purpose of this paper is to determine the correlation between births by caesarean section and uterine rupture. Design and Setting: Cross-sectional study. Designed as a pre-defined protocol and a search was conducted by non-electronic databases (with the written-protocol of the births) of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Clinic/University Clinical Centre of Kosovo. Methods: Data for uterine rupture were collected for five years (from 2010 to 2014), only in women who gave birth by caesarean section. The cases with uterine rupture have divided over the years, as has happened rupture, then are made statistical calculations. Results: Of the twenty-two cases reported with uterine rupture during five years at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, were counted in all cases (100 per cent). They were twenty-two cases of uterine rupture by the total 15526 women that have born by Caesarean Section during five years. Calculation of incidence has come out that is 14 per 10,000 deliveries with Caesarean Section and significance level for observed proportion was P<0.0001 (95% confidence interval CI; 21.35 to 22.66). From 2010 to 2014, have a continuous increase of uterine rupture, if we make a comparison the percentage of uterine rupture of 2010, with a percentage of 2014, have a significant difference (in favor of the increase); 0.07 % versus 0.17%, odds ratio OR=0.82 (95% Cl; 0.016 to 41.70). Conclusions: We conclude that as much as increases number of the births with caesarean delivery, will increase the cases with uterine rupture.

In order to understand the guidelines of the urban planning, we have taken in exam some similar models, both in Albanian and Italian territory. Their study has been very useful to put Kamenica in rapport with the other settlements in a large context.

The results obtained provided significant evidence on their typology, distribution, chronology and their origin. These discoveries have stressed the importance and the role of our territory during this specific historical period, marked by the initiative of the emperor Justinian I (527 – 565) for the restoration of the lost territories of the empire. The presence of east – Mediterranean amphorae is attested in numerous urban centers and religious building such as the cities of Butrint, Onchesmos, and the monument of 40 Saints, Durres, Shkodra and Lezhe50; also a significant number comes from the contribution of the subaqueous investigations across the Albanian coastline, mainly in the area between the Bay of Vlora and Saranda and the exploration conducted in the Bay of Durres. A small quantity of this category of amphorae is represented by fragments found during the excavations in other minor archaeological sites. Because of their relatively modest representation in the Mediterranean contexts, different types of east – Mediterranean amphorae, which show a remarkable presence in our territory, have been subject of individual studies, as in the case of the LRA 10 (Adamsheck RC 22) and the study devoted to the LRA 8 (Samos Cystern Type).
