The article contains a comprehensive study of tourist arrivals in Albania in the years 1994 to 2020. During this period, the trend of tourism development has been studied, using the widely approved concept of Tourist Area Cycle Theory (TALC). During these years, the number of tourists has been growing rapidly, and, the touristic sites of Albania have been transformed to serve touristic purposes, especially the coastline. Recently the geographic touristic map has been enlarged to the mountain and rural areas, touristic villages, and cultural, archaeological, historical tourism. The dynamics of tourism development have been studied by many researchers, academics, and institutions to provide a complete and clear picture of the history and predict the future of the tourism industry. Econometric, mathematical or mixed models are applied to fit the tourism development and they have been helpful and have served the purpose. The model we have used to analyze the arrivals in Albania is the Logistical and the Gompertz model, largely used to estimate growth under limited resources. The tourist arrivals, i.e., the number of tourists entering the destination country have been considered as the most important variable to describe the tourism development. Several useful software is mostly used to fit the historical data and predict future arrivals such as Stata, Lab fit, Curve Expert, Spss, etc. In our case the Stata software to run the data provided for this article. The data for this article are provided from INSTAT (National Institute of Statistics), (http://www.instat.gov.al/) and other National Institutions such as the Ministry of Tourism and Environment of Albania, (https://turizmi.gov.al/), and several International Institutional such as the World Bank, (https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/ST.INT.ARVL?locations=AL), World Tourism Organization, (https://www.unwto.org/statistic/basic-tourism-statistics). The data, together with the growing numbers of tourists show the significant impact of tourism on the economic development of the country, income, contribution to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), employment, etc.
Waste management system needs a clear and strict management policy. They also need a process of evaluating and selecting the most appropriate landfill sites that respect the restrictions and constraints dictated by the presence of the population in that area, with respect to ecological ecosystems and other factors. In addition to the geographical and geological criteria and other specifications that are defined by traditional selection procedures, there are new factors adding to the old constraints and limitations. Urban waste is produced in large quantities in our cities, every year. As a result, the number of sites should increase with the population growth as well as the increase in urban waste products. On the other hand, the eligibility criteria and adding constraints and limitations make it more difficult to choose suitable sites. Environmental and local and state regulations limit the number of choices as well as areas and volume of sites making their selection more difficult, posing a real challenge for specialists. Specialists need to use the Geographic Information System (GIS) as well as the method of Multiple Critical Decision Analysis (MCDA) to select the most optimal location. Our study aims to apply MCDA integrated with GIS to select potential sites for urban waste deposition. The method of hierarchy analysis (AHP) will be used to weight and rank the constraints and criteria. This article is part of a potential project we are working to propose to Berat County, Albania.
Nowadays the evolution of the technologies regarding the online learning has influenced the field of education. The acceptance of a new technology is evaluated according the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology 2 (UTAUT2). The main aim of the study is to estimate the impact that has each of the constructs of the model UTAUT2 related with the behavioural intention of using a cloud based learning platform. The decision making methodology proposed in this study is fuzzy analytical hierarchic process with Z-numbers (Fuzzy Z-AHP). The data were collected through a survey of 400 samples from students of the University “Aleksander Moisiu” of Durres during 2020-2022. The findings of the research concluded that the most important construct of UTAUT2 is Habit. The findings help higher education policymakers to make better decisions related with the factors that influence most the cloud based learning management platform.

We are used to the traditional methods of teaching mathematics. The textbook, the blackboard and a chalk have been for centuries a wonderful part of teaching. And, they always will be. Traditional teaching methods of mathematics are a wonderful legacy of our educational system that have educated generations of teachers, engineers, administrators, managers, leaders, and economists. American universities websites, the video-lectures of the best professors of well-known disciplines such as statistics, operational research, number theory, algebra, game theory, show impressing large blackboards, all over the auditor's walls. We always will need and admire traditional mathematics. But, beyond the lessons, especially in applied disciplines, students need to learn the software created for discipline applications. Making IT students to learn and, more important, to create applications and programs following the theoretical lessons is a useful way to help them understand better the theoretical knowledge. Similarly, other "theoretical" math disciplines such as number theory, game theory, geometry can be used to. The idea of making a group of IT students and the professor to create a package of applications for the math courses is a very useful process to a more advanced stage of teaching.
