    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[A FLOOD OF METAPHORS? CONCEPTUAL METAPHORS IN THE 2014 BALKAN MEDIA REPORTS ON FLOODS]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The paper explores the linguistic and conceptual metaphors in media reports on the 2014 floods in the Balkans, focusing on the conceptualization of floods and flood-related concepts. While natural disasters such as floods and hurricanes represent a well-known source domain within the conceptual metaphor theory, this paper aims to explore floods as a target domain drawing on online Balkan newspaper reports from May 2014. The analysis offers insight into long-standing, conventional metaphors related to floods and natural disasters as well as the specific realizations and elaborations of these and other metaphors in the context of the 2014 Balkan floods. The possible functions and effects of the predominant metaphors related to the 2014 floods are discussed.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In this paper, a functional based simulator has been designed to facilitate the  education of the 8051 microcontroller, which is used widely in today&#039;s engineering and  educational purposes. In the realization of the simulator, a PC-based program is developed in  a way to make easy to follow the contents of the registers and flags of the running an 8051-  coded assembly program. Another important contribution fulfilled is a toolbox, which can  easily be connected to the ports of the microcontroller using as switch, button, display, etc.  The units in the toolbox can also be connected after compilation period. By the help of this  facility, the simulator can be used as a virtual microcontroller development board. Such  properties simplify to understand the internal architecture of the 8051 microcontrollers for  students and designers.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO INNOVATIONS IN TOURISM]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: This paper is focused on the importance and influence of the innovations  in the time of the fourth industry revolution for the creation of value added in tourism  industry. Innovative technology solutions solve problems in a tourist destination, as in  the case of the effects of climate change as well as the revival of cultural heritage.  New products that are connected with the Internet (e.g. Internet of things) and digital  solution services invites small and medium sized firms, and other relevant actors, to  apply for funding of co-operative tourism innovation projects. The proposals should  primarily focus on the development of innovative products, services and concepts to  accelerate the tourism sector. Innovative products and services form the framework of  marketing efforts to encourage consumers to decide for the purchase and thus affect  the sales success of tourist firms. Innovations that are intended to satisfy the wishes  and needs of consumers, based on existing knowledge. Usually it is a technological  innovation with features that provide additional solutions compared with the existing  ones. Firms want to attract customers who have different needs from the existing  customers. The contribution of the paper is mainly conceptual. With the development  of the digital innovations (web 2.0., web 3.0., internet, the internet of things) that is  central to the new industrial revolution, has led to “Industry 4.0” in tourism. The aim of  this paper is to provide answers to RQ1: To present the known theory and practices of  innovations in tourism; RQ2: To investigate the changes that will result from Industry 4.0  in tourism.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[A Hybrid Digital Video Watermarking Method Based on DCT and DWT]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Digital video watermarking is one of the solutions for copyright protection of digital  multimedia data and draws great attention of both researchers and digital video owners. In  this work, a new hybrid digital video watermarking method which uses the discrete cosine  transform (DCT) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is proposed. Each frame is processed  with one of the DCT and DWT methods or a combination of them, half of a frame by the  DCT method and the other half by the DWT method. Selection of the watermarking for each  frame in the video is determined randomly. The proposed method has undergone several  attacks in order to check its robustness and compare to the DCT and DWT methods. The  proposed hybrid method including a watermarking diversity throughout the video improves  robustness against attacks.Keywords: Digital video watermarking, discrete cosine transform (DCT), discrete wavelet  transform (DWT), copyright protection.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Effective school development is a project which links school  effectiveness and school development. Research studies have shown that  obtaining positive results in effective school development depends on the  school’s strategy creation capacity (Leithwood, &amp; Hopkins, 2006).  Considering the fact that 21st century is uncertainty, risks and chaos; it will  be undertood better how important it is to develop strategies and for the  administration to undertake leadership roles. Therefore, it might be said that  the leadership required by the organisations of the third millenium is  strategic leadership. This current research aims at handling the dynamics of  effective school development within the framework of strategic leadership  and thus evaluating and analysing them.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[A Leap into Interculturalism Tom Stoppard&#039;s Indian Ink]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Key words: Interculturalism, drama, transculturation, deconstruction, hybridity  ABSTRACT  Interculturalism as “the[n] the latest avant-garde [...] which has set up a dialectic between a source culture and a target culture” (Singleton, 1995: 162) has been more manifest in dramatic texts and theatrical performances since the 1980s. Even though early intercultural plays and/or theatre have been dismissed as Eurocentric and problematic in regards to how they represent their respective source/foreign cultures (cf. Pavice, 1992; Singleton, 1995; Sakelleridou, 1995), there have been instances of „leaps‟ into intercultural theatrical practices, such as Tom Stoppard‟s Indian Ink (1995), that exploit diverse strategies in their attempt to provide a less partial portrayal of foreign cultures and the proceedings of transculturation.  By focusing on the characterisation of three distinct groups of characters (Indians, Anglo-Indians and British), on the language-games played by the protagonists Flora Crew and Nirad Das, and on the symbolism of Flora‟s portraits, the paper looks into the very strategies Stoppard uses to deconstruct not only the stereotypical representations of the Other, but also notions of a homogenous and “pure” culture.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[A Loan Payment Model with Rhythmic Skips]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Repayments of loans granted by banks to customers are usually in equal installments. The  general formulae of the amount of financial installment, the number of installment, the  interest rate of installments, etc. could be derived as considering the sum of present value of  repayments made by the customer (installments) to be equal to the present value of the loan.  Presenting the different options instead of only fixed installments to customers for repayments  of loan installments is very important in terms of reaching more customers. Customers could  have some difficulties to pay the loan due to the increased costs in some periods. Therefore,  repayments could not be done in these periods. This situation was addressed by Formato  (1992) first time and it was called as skip loan payment model.  Formato&#039;s (1992) model is improved by Moon as a repayment installments model in a  geometric-gradient series. Eroglu and Karaoz (2002) extended Formato&#039;s result to the case  that periodic payments occur in a linear-gradient series. In this study, general formulae are  derived for loan payment models including rhythmic skips with split geometric constant and  alternating installments instead of random skips with geometric constant and alternating  installments. Examples of the developed model are provided for better understanding and for  future research areas. Since prospective customers of financing institutions demand more  alternatives for payment plans for their loans, financing institutions need different installment  plans. Therefore, it is expected that one of those alternatives would be in this study.  Keywords: Loan payment, Rhythmic skips, Split geometric constant, Installments, Formato]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[A Model eLearning Solution for Foreign Language Students]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Technology is currently driving a profound transformation of the learning industry. In response to the growing demand for education in the knowledge based economy, universities and colleges are offering thousands of online courses, thus changing the traditional classroom-based methods of teaching and learning. Researchers and practitioners are predicting that the current trend will continue. However, while many institutions are developing and using web-based courses, little is known about their value in improving the quality of students’ learning experience.     An electronic or e-learning environment is usually defined as a computer-based environment that provides access to a wide range of resources and allows interactions and encounters among participants. Essentially, e-learning combines the individualised learning experience with the communication dimension. Learners can access and utilise different available materials and follow different paths to them depending on their inquiry styles. They can also interact and discuss electronically with other learners and instructors. Typically, on-line environments support learner-centred, modularised and self-paced learning.    Some researchers suggest that technology-mediated learning environments may improve students’ achievement, their attitudes toward learning, and their evaluation of the learning experience. Others warn that technology-mediated learning environments may lead to the student feelings of isolation, frustration, anxiety and confusion. The goal of this study is to examine the issue in the context of foreign language learning.     An integrated KM framework was used as a theoretical basis for modelling an “ideal” e-learning space for foreign language students. The model was tested among undergraduate students enrolled in English language study programmes. The participants were interviewed about their preferences for different model features, content and tools in supporting their learning experience. Individual responses were encoded and grouped into classes. The results provide some interesting insights into the potential and limitations of information technology in language learning.  ]]></dcterms:abstract>
