    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[EVALUATION OF ELT MATERIALS FOR YOUNG LEARNERS:  COURSE-BOOKS AS CULTURAL ARTEFACTS]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The paper will focus on teaching and learning materials used in early English education. The aim is  to identify the most important factors for the evaluation of ELT materials and find answers to two  questions: What are the challenges in evaluation of English course books for young learners? What is the  nature of cultural content in these materials?  The project involves an analysis of ten course books currently used in teaching English to young  learners and older learners. The project is based on a set of criteria and a checklist as the instrument for this  investigation. It is hoped that the results from the research project will enrich the process of materials  evaluation for children.  Keywords: young learners, evaluation, course books, culture content]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Evaluation of Financial Performance of Banking Sector: Evidence from Bosnia and  Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The financial sector and international banking environment in particular has changed  dramatically over the past years. In order to reach and maintain stability and sustainability in  the global banking system, decrease risk of insolvency, and to cover unexpected losses,  countries (EU in particular) have started implementing the new capital adequacy rules (Basel  II) following the worldwide consensus among G-10 central bank Governors by which banks’  capital levels should be regulated to enhance global financial stability.  Since Bosnia and Herzegovina is still in the beginning of its path towards Basel II legislation  and implementation, using detailed literature review and an in-depth analysis this study  conducts a comparative analysis on the implementation of Basel II in Bosnia and  Herzegovina, Slovenia, Croatia, and Serbia, with regard to both the qualitative and  quantitative implementation details and issues which include the implementation stages,  progress, and timetables and particular challenges faced by the countries.  Moreover, study reveals Bosnia and Herzegovina’s unique situation, challenges and obstacles  on the path towards full implementation of Basel II standards and puts an emphasis on how  implementation and adoption will affect its banking and economic stability, future and  conditions. Keywords: Basel II, banking supervision, capital adequacy, Bosnia and Herzegovina, central  bank, banking agency, risk, risk weight, challenge, adoption, implementation.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Evaluation of Financial Performance of Banking Sector: Evidence from Bosnia and  Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The objective of this study is to compare the financial performance of the banking sector in  some ex- Yu countries: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia and Serbia for period from  2005 to 2010. Banking sector of Yugoslavia was strong but because of the weakness and the  collapse all these characteristics disappeared. The financial performance of banks is study on  the basis of some selected financial variables and ratios, such as return on asset, return on  equity, capital adequacy ratio, share of non-performing loans in total loans, participation of  deposits, assets and loans in Gross Domestic Product of the country. All of the indicators  improved in period until the beginning of the global crisis, but with the first signs of crisis the  conditions in entire economy worsen as well as the situation in the banking sector. Data show  that banking system of these countries suffers from problems largely influenced by its huge  debt to IMF, political situation, financial crisis, internal situation and other political factors.  The authorities of banking system in selected countries took some measures in order to  improve financial position and to slowdown the negative consequences of the global crisis.  Keywords: Banks, ROA, ROE, Non-performing loans, Reforms, Crisis]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The objective of this study is to compare the financial performance of the banking sector in some ex- Yu countries: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia,Slovenia and Serbia for period from 2005 to 2010. The banking sector of these countries experienced reforms after the separation from the Yugoslavia. The financial performance of banks is studied on the basis of some selected financial variables and ratios that are either obtained from different sources either calculated by author.During this period the banks become privatized and there is increase in the presence of the foreign owners on the Balkans.This is mostly descriptive research that explains and provides some insights about situation in banking of the selected countries. Financial performance in this study is measured by selected indicators, such as return on asset (ROA), return on equity (ROE), capital adequacy ratio (CAR), share of non-performing loans (NPL), participation of deposits, assets and loans in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the country.Data show that banking system of these countries suffers from problems in the banking sector, largely influenced by its huge debt to IMF, political situation, financial crisis, internal situation and other political factors]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In this research, heat treated AISI 5115 (16MnCr5) cementation and AISI 52100  roller bearing steels were investigated. The specimens that were prepared before and after  heat treatment application were sectioned via wire-erosion machine. Specimens were properly  sanded and polished to get a smooth surface. Optical micrographs of each specimen were  taken by a Nikon Eclipse ME 600 metallographic microscope. These specimens were then  examined by using a Dynamic Ultra Micro Hardness (DUH) tester under a set of maximum  loads of 200, 400, 600, 800, and 1000 mN. For each heat treated and non-heat treated  specimen subjected to load-unload cycle under the same amount of maximum load, load vs.  penetration depth curves were plotted. By comparing the resultant load-unload curves, types  of the residual stresses were determined. Individual calculations were made for tensile and  compressive residual stresses to obtain the residual stress values.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In this study the faculty members who served in the Civil technician training in  Construction Technology Program which one of two-year Vocational Technical High  School Program, have been trying to search for relating to alumni comments and  suggestions about classroom curriculum, industry-based training applications, information  systems. For this purpose a questionnaire was administered to teaching staff who served in  different vocational schools of different universities which consists of 28 questions. Survey  in the context of the teaching staff of the course content, how much they are happy, whether  they think the theoretical and practical lesson hours in curriculum classes, the laboratory  facilities of the application whether or not, technical field trips, conferences, seminars  served in the vocational schools which are applied in frequency were asked. Apart from  problems related to curriculum, construction technician has a very important place in  teaching that the inspection of industrial training, internship and then interview, examination  and achievement levels of students received a result that responses were evaluated. The  ideas of the construction teaching staff in arranging a national symposium on education  technicians and construction sectors in the field of civil engineering/construction  teacher/architectural education provider to do joint activities with the perspectives were  investigated. In addition, surveys of faculty members applied the quality of construction  technicians in the art are also to be thinking about. Some results of the findings of this work,  a symposium is desired as soon as possible broad participation with a construction  technician education, the construction industry different topics technicians was trained with  organizations collaborate and projects consolidated at being desirable, training of the overall  goal reached, but inspection and examination of the continuing benefits, monitoring system  on the development of graduates are beneficial.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The T2 generations of the ScMTII gene bearing transgenic and non-transgenic  tobacco plants were grown on the nutrient medium with the addition of 0, 5 and 10 mg L-  1 Zn to evaluate Zn accumulation capacity. Dry mass of shoot and roots, Zn concentration  and Zn content were determined. In addition to Zn, glutathion (SH groups) concentrations,  N, P, K, Cu, Fe and Mn of shoots and roots were determined. After growth for 15 days on  media containing 10 mg L-1 Zn, non-transgenic plant showed slight chlorosis symptoms,  including significant reduction in growth and chlorophyll. Transgenic and non-transgenic  tobacco plants have been tested in terms of phytoremediator for Zn accumulations. The  highest Zn concentration in shoots and also roots was tested in all Zn supply. The results  showed that Zn accumulation ability of transgenic tobacco plant was higher than nontransgenic  tobacco plants and Zn accumulation in the transgenic and the non transgenic  tobacco plants were lower in the shoots compared to the roots. The Zn concentration in  shoot of transgenic plant was increased by approximately 1.4 times compared to the non  transgenic tobacco plants. Higher amount of Zn concentration in the shoot is a good  indicator as a phytoremediation agent. The results showed that p-S-ScMTII gene bearing  transgenic tobacco plant is not suitable for phytoextraction either detected lower amount  of Zn concentration (&lt;10000 mg Zn kg-1 DM) in the shoot or the translocation factor  value was less than one.]]></dcterms:abstract>
