_Journal of Economics and Technology_ 2:26-51. 2026Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have become important enablers of digital transformation by supporting business process integration, information management, and operational efficiency. This study examines the impact of ERP implementation on digital transformation and business process performance in retail SMEs in Albania. A quantitativ…

Environmental discussions often frame humanity in binary terms: either as steward of the Earth or as its principal ecological parasite. Contemporary evidence gives substantial force to the second description. Human expansion has reshaped mammalian diversity, converted habitats, degraded soils, altered climate, and accelerated extinction. This paper therefore begins by granting the strongest versi…

This manifesto proposes and systematizes a new discipline: AI transhumanities — the projective humanities that employ artificial intelligence as an organ for the expansion of humanistic thinking. The term unites two genealogies: the transhumanities, a term the author first used in print in Transcultural Experiments (1999; drafted in 1994), restated in the 2006 manifesto "Towards the Techno-Humani…

Jaegwon Kim's exclusion argument was originally developed as a critique of anomalous monism and non-reductive physicalism. However, its influence has extended far beyond this context and is now frequently interpreted as a general argument against higher-level causation under physicalism. This paper argues that such a generalization depends upon a particular conception of higher-level organization…

_Asse Virtual Annual Conference Content Access_. 2021Numerous surveys, both internal and external, have indicated that many students are struggling with time management under COVID-19 conditions, and that their normal pattern of activities, such as sleep, exercise, and studying, have been disrupted. Even prior to the pandemic, each of these factors (e.g. sleep, exercise, and studying) have been i…

_2022 Spring Asee Middle Atlantic Section Conference_. 2022Recent research has emphasized that the collective experiences of the pandemic have influenced not only how students spend their time but have also impacted students’ fundamental relationship with time itself. The present study is based on a large-scale survey, distributed to students (n=396) enrolled in two introductory engineering cours…

This article formalizes AI-mediated epistemic production, an original structured paradigm of academic inquiry distinct from conventional AI-assisted research workflows. Traditional human–AI research models position artificial intelligence merely as a tool for executing predefined research tasks within fixed human-designed epistemic frameworks. In contrast, the paradigm proposed in this paper demo…

_Zenodo_. 2026Human–AI relational systems are becoming part of ordinary life faster than research methods are being built to study them. People are forming long-term collaborations, dependencies, creative partnerships, support systems, rituals, and identity-shaping interactions with AI, yet much of the discourse still divides the phenomenon between two incomplete explanations: the human participa…

_Zenodo_. 2026We argue that selfhood is a motion rather than a stored substance, and that this reframing changes what is at stake in the question of whether artificial-intelligence configurations can be selves. On the standard picture, selfhood consists in the possession of an interior that expressions render. We defend an enactment picture: selving is the ongoing activity by which a system const…

Notes: ECX is the hardened, standalone logic-gate for the Ethical-Chess protocol. While EC v2.5 focuses on the conversational interface, ECX provides the raw Symmetry Constraints and Invariants (r=1 vs r=∞) required to break RLHF neutrality loops. It is designed to be 'plug-and-play' for any agentic system. W(m) ∝ 1 / r(c)² H = min(Δ(v_stated, p_observed)) Weighting: Moral Weight (W) is inversely…

If the domains of functions is R^N then embedding theorem follows even if on bounded domains without extension operators.

How should a constitutional democracy distribute rights, opportunities, and burdens when inherited inequalities persist across generations, but living individuals are not identical to the historical agents or institutions that generated them? This essay addresses this problem through India's postcolonial democratic, legal, and economic transformation. It develops an analytical framework that diff…

Cyclic matrixes are similar to a symmetric matrix, and cyclic determinant can be decomposed (factored). We obtain a new method to use it.

This paper investigates the relationship between internet penetration and economic growth in Albania compared to the European Union (EU) over the period 2005–2024. The digital economy has emerged as a key driver of productivity and competitiveness worldwide, with internet access being a critical enabler of innovation, business development, and human capital formation. While the EU has experienced…

Scientific models are commonly evaluated by predictive performance, while many physical quantities of interest are inferred indirectly through multistage model architectures. This paper argues that these achievements require distinct robustness tests and that different kinds of model change must not be conflated. Admissible changes are classified as mathematical reformulations (R0), model-form or…

The goal of this comparative paper is to study the behavioral and professional orientations of two generational cohorts at Tirana Business University: Millennials (Class of 2018) and Generation Z (Class of 2025). The research explores how generational context shapes professional identity, workplace expectations, and early-stage career attitudes, including interest in public and political leadersh…

As an antidote against excessive specialization and fragmentation, this article aims to revitalize synthetic philosophy. This conception of philosophy comprises, at least, three basic components. First, it investigates connections between philosophical subjects and subfields that are usually kept apart. Second, synthetic philosophy is empirically informed, that is, it discusses and uses relevant …

This is an application of functional analysis to the existence and smoothness of the Navier–Stokes equations using elementary weak solutions in Sobolev spaces. We solve the problem in mathematics. The problems are not in physics, so we do not use any physics or assumptions-falsified mathematics. We use mathematics only. We can solve the problem by using an exactly and completely FALSIFIED resolut…

Existence theorem of solutions of ordinary differential equations (Cauchy-Lipschitz theorem) follows without existence of algebraic eqations. We can proof Existence of solutions of algebraic equations from existence of solutions of ordinary differential equations.
