After fifteen years, this is the first issue of Academicus Journal to be published without Arta Musaraj, its Founder and Editor-in-Chief, who worked until last May to publish it.
It is the first volume published without her presence. She passed away at just 50 years old.

Sixteen years ago, in the inaugural issue of Academicus, Franco Ferrarotti, the greatest Italian sociologist of all time, one of the most famous in the world, wrote:
"A journal born in an era dominated by electronic messaging is today clearly both an act of intellectual courage and a fervent hope for the future.
Especially in developing countries along modern industrial lines, such as Albania, a journal like this could mark a turning point with respect to political theories that are still purely intuitive or dogmatic metaphors of the past."

Franco Ferrarotti also passed away a few weeks before Arta Musaraj. He was almost 100 years old.
We can't even imagine what he would have written in that issue, were he still alive in memoriam of Arta.
It was Arta Musaraj who was given the honor of commemorating Ferrarroti in issue 31.

This issue, issue 32, which closes the era of demarcation between what she has published and what will be published in the future, presents us with the challenge of how to maintain and realize her dream of a scientific journal open and free to all.

We believe we will succeed. Seeing in this issue a group of excellent authors from around the world—from a Mediterranean mix of Albania, Italy, and Algeria to the Balkans, the United Arab Emirates, and South Africa—and their fascinating topics, we feel proud of the path that lies ahead.

It is no coincidence that this issue is opened by Guglielmo Chiodi, an extraordinary professor at Sapienza University of Rome, a member of the Electoral Council, and a close collaborator of Professor Arta Musaraj throughout her formidable career, including in the doctoral programs at Sapienza, which he directed, where she taught her modules and seminars.
In his memory, this issue describes unique details of the distinctive project of the Italian "New Academy”, “conceived and born” in Albania.

It continues with the excellent works of Daniele Battista, Wafia Tihal, Gjeraqina Leka, Abdelhak Chenini, Nageshwari Pam Moodley, Luisa Nardi, Vincenzo Auriemma, Algirdas Makarevicius, Philip Harttrup, Panthayil Krishnan Baburajan, Morefaith Naledi Sibanyoni, Peter J.O. Aloka, Maend Kullaj, with extraordinary contributions that are all worth reading.

Numri 29, Janar 2024 i Academicus ISJ
Redaksionale
nga Arta Musaraj, kryeredaktore

Një botë me probleme dhe një botë e trazuar.
Në fakt, në këtë binom loja e akademikëve dhe studiuesve duket e paqartë dhe ndoshta e panevojshme. Në shkencat sociale aq më tepër, pasi duket se kapacitetet parashikuese reduktohen në komentimin e ngjarjeve pasi ato të kenë ndodhur.
Unë ende dua të jem optimiste se si një lexim i mirë, metodologjik dhe shkencor i së shkuarës dhe së tashmes mund të na ndihmojë të parashikojmë të ardhmen e shoqërive tona. Të paktën, për të artikuluar versione të ndryshme të së ardhmes, dhe se si do të duket kjo e ardhme, do të varet nga vendimet që do të marrë njerëzimi, duke shpresuar ne ndjeshmerine për të dhënë një të ardhme në një botë më të mirë, më afër idealit të “njeriut",

Ky ka qenë filli lidhës i kontributeve në numrin 29, janar 2024 të Academicus ISJ ku nje share dhe nje like prej teje ne Facebook terheq vemendjn e miqeve te tu, qe sdo te refuzonin kurre nje rekomandim tendin per te lexuar Franco Ferrarotti-n ne nje buket autoresh qe fillon nga ai ne Italine e afert ne nje xhiro rreth bote nga Japonia ne Usa per tu rikthyer perseri tek ne.

Issue 29, January 2024 of Academicus ISJ
Editorial Note by Arta Musaraj, Editor in Chief

A world of troubles and a troubled world.
Actually, in this binomial the play of academicians and researchers seems vague and perhaps unnecessary. In social sciences even more so, as it seems that forecasting capacities are reduced to commenting events after they have happened. I still want to be optimistic on how even a good, methodological and scientific reading of the past and present can still help us predict the future of our societies. At least, to articulate different versions of the future; how it will look like be will depend on the decisions humankind will make, hoping with the sensibility of giving a future in a better world, nearer to the ideal of ‘the human”.

This has been the connecting thread of Issue 29, January 2024 of Academicus ISJ, where your Share and Like in FaceBook catches the attention of your friends, who would never ignore your suggestion to read Franco Ferrarotti inside a bouquet of authors, starting with him from the neighboring Italy, and that makes a world round trip from Japan to the USA, to then come back to us.

If I had to define the composition, in terms of topics and research methodologies, of the number 28 of Academicus ISJ, it would result as a bouquet of readings in the summer heat matured through the cold arguments of a global interest, which does not follow any kind of seasonality.

Ajër është mënyra se si do ta përkufizoja frymën e Botimit 27, Janar 2023 të Academicus ISJ.
Përveçse është akronimi i vendeve nga vijnë autorët e këtij numri, Algjeria, Italia, Rumania dhe Shqipëria, me nga 3 kontribute nga secili vend, ai përfaqëson kuptimin e drejtpërdrejtë dhe simbolik të termit. Ashtu si (ai), Ajri, vendimi më i rëndësishëm që marrim çdo sekondë ne frymëmarrjet e radhës, ku mendimet rjedhin ne nje muzikalitet si ai, Ajri, duke i prezantuar lexuesve tanë tema që përfaqësojnë gjeografinë e autorëve të tyre, si një ekstrakt i mozaikut kompleks dhe plotësues të globit, duke krijuar një 'solo' muzikale. Identiteti kundër uniformitetit, veçantia kulturore kundër bashkimit kulturor, fuqizimi individual kundër kolektivitetit, përshkruajnë këtë sfidë të fundit të Academicus.

Kalojua miqeve, bej “share” me ta, ka plot qe do ju interesoj sic ka shume me teper qe vleresojne nje “like” tendin se pse besojne se ajo qe te pelqen ty padyshim ka vlera

Kjo note editorial ndihmon me shume. Academicus eshte shkence, por Academicus eshte vertet I bukur.

ARIA is how I would define the esprit of Issue 27, January 2023 of Academicus ISJ.
Besides being the acronym of the countries from where the authors of this issue come from, Algeria, Italy, Romania and Albania, with 3 contributions from each country, it represents the literal and symbolic meaning of the term. Like Aria (it), the most important decision we make each second, that one of the next breath, the issue comes as an Aria (music), by introducing to our readers topics which represent the geography of their authors, as an extract from the complex and complementary mosaic of the globe, while creating a 'solo'. Identity vs uniformity, cultural uniqueness vs cultural merging, individual empowerment vs collectivity pursues, describe this last challenge of Academicus.

Pass it on to friends, "share" it with them, there is a lot that will interest you, as there are many more who value a "like" because they believe that what you like is definitely valuable.

This editorial note helps more. Academicus is science, but Academicus is truly beautiful.

Nje "Shenim Editorial" ndryshe per publikimin e ri te Academicus Journal nga Arta Musaraj

A particular Editorial Note for Issue 26 of Academicus Journal.
‘Lessons learned’ or ‘using experience and knowledge of the past, in new, present and future situations’, is the leitmotif of this issue of Academicus, introduced in a turbulent and conflictual moment in human history. As a reminder that we, humans, always risk repeating our history, when it comes to creating conflict, but we can help ourselves, if we find out the best way to use our experiences and baggage of knowledge, since the world as it is, is nothing new.
