Tema: “Roli i mediave në mbrojtjen e të drejtave të njeriut në Kosovë dhe BE”

Koncepti i të drejtave të njeriut është shumë i gjerë dhe nënkupton edhe obligime për respektimin, mbrojtjen dhe përmbushjen e të drejtave civile, politike, ekonomike, sociale dhe kulturore, të parapara me të drejtën ndërkombëtare me traktate dhe shumë instrumente tjera juridike.

Të drejtat e njeriut prekin çdo aspekt të jetës sonë. Çdo moment i jetës sonë është gëzim apo mos gëzim i të drejtave tona. Të drejtat dhe obligimet mund të identifkohen duke përdorur instrumente të ndryshme të drejtave të njeriut, siç është Konventa Evropiane për të Drejtat e Njeriut dhe Konventa Ndërkombëtare për të Drejtat Civile dhe Politike.

Të kujtojmë që korniza ligjore e Kosovës është shumë e fuqishme sepse shumë prej këtyre instrumenteve janë pjesë e Kushtetutës së Kosovës. Kjo nënkupton se të drejtat të cilat i parashohin ato duhet të garantohen nga të gjitha institucionet. Nëse institucionet janë përgjegjëse për realizimin e këtyre të drejtave, është e rëndësishme që njerëzit të jenë në dijeni për të drejtat e tyre dhe të ngritin zërin kur ato nuk respektohen, për çka shpesh raportohet edhe në media.

Se cili është roli i mediave në mbrojtjen e të drejtave të njeriut në Kosovë dhe Bashkimin Evropian dëgjojeni programin e realizuar.

Edhe fshesat elektrike bëhen “te mençura”

Inteligjenca artificiale është prezente në jetën tonë prej vitesh, por kohët e fundit jemi gjithnjë e më të vetëdijshëm se edhe pajisjet e thjeshta shtepiake janë bërë befas “të zgjuara”.
Fshesat robotike me inteligjencë artificiale nuk janë më një gjë e rrallë, por kur inteligjenca artificiale gjen rrugën e saj drejt një fshesë elektrike klasike, është diçka e re.

Kjo është pikërisht ajo që bënë në Samsung, kur ndërtuan inteligjencën artificiale në fshesën elektrike Siç shpjegojnë ne Samsung, procesori i AI mundëson pastrimin efikas të çdo dhome falë analizës dhe njohjes së llojeve të ndryshme të dyshemesë.

Kështu, vetë pajisja njeh nëse është në parket, pllaka apo qilim dhe rregullon fuqinë së thithjes në mënyrë që të kapë të gjitha thërrimet dhe gjurmët e pluhurit.

“Të drejtat e grave në Kosovë dhe Bashkimi Evropian”

Të drejtat e grave janë të drejta në kuadër të të drejtave të njeriut me një vëmendje të veçantë për gratë dhe vajzat në të gjithë botën. Këto të drejta krijuan bazën për paraqitjen e lëvizjes së të drejtave të grave në shekullin XIX dhe mbi bazën e saj edhe lëvizjen feministe gjatë shekullit XX. Në disa vende, këto të drejta janë të institucionalizuar ose të mbështetura me ligj, zakone e tradita lokale dhe sjellje, ndërsa në të tjera ato injorohen dhe shtypen. Ato ndryshojnë nga nocionet më të gjera të të drejtave të njeriut përmes pretendimeve të një paragjykimi të qenësishëm historik dhe tradicional kundër ushtrimit të të drejtave nga gratë dhe vajzat, në favor të burrave dhe djemve.

Çështjet që zakonisht shoqërohen me nocionin e të drejtave të grave përfshijnë të drejtën e integritetit trupor dhe autonominë; e drejta e lirisë nga dhuna seksuale; e drejta e grave për të votuar; e drejta e mbajtjes së posteve publike; e drejta për të lidhur kontrata ligjore; e drejta e barazisë në familje; e drejta për të punuar; e drejta në paga të barabarta; e drejta riprodhuese; e drejta e zotërimit të pronës; e drejta në arsim dhe edukim...

Kushtetuta e Kosovës, u siguron qytetarëve të vendit të drejta të barabarta pa marrë parasysh përkatësinë etnike e fetare dhe gjinore.

Por, sa respektohen në praktikë të drejtat e grave në Kosovë dhe si qëndron statusi i tyre në raport me Bashkimin Evropian, dëgjojeni programin e realizuar.

Eruption of Mount Vesuvius

The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD is one of the most famous volcanic eruptions in history due to its catastrophic impact on the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Here's a brief overview of the eruption:
The eruption occurred on August 24, 79 AD.
Mount Vesuvius is classified as a stratovolcano, which is known for its explosive eruptions. The eruption in 79 AD was a Plinian eruption, characterized by the expulsion of a massive column of ash, pumice, and gas into the atmosphere.

The eruption had a devastating impact on the nearby towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum, as well as several other smaller settlements in the region. The volcanic debris buried these towns under layers of ash and pumice, effectively preserving them for centuries.
Thousands of people were killed in the eruption. Exact numbers are uncertain, but it's estimated that between 10,000 and 25,000 people may have died.

The volcanic ash and debris that buried Pompeii and Herculaneum effectively sealed and preserved the cities, providing valuable insights into daily life in ancient Rome. Excavations of these sites began in the 18th century and continue to this day, uncovering well-preserved buildings, artwork, and even the casts of victims who perished in the eruption.
