    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Contemporary, the competition in the markets has thoroughly heated  up. Many companies try to decrease their costs in order to survive in  this cruel market. In this respects, the quality costs gain importance in  all over the world and in Turkey, too.In this study, the implementation  of quality costs measuring and reporting system has been performed in  a company. Accordingly, the data has been collected from a urkish  manufacturing company. The data gathered from this company’s  accounting department has been used for studying on quality costs  measuring and reporting system. onsequently, it is found out that the  company cannot measure its quality costs adequately, for this reason  quality reporting system in the company is not efficient. The company  needs to give more significance to the quality costs measuring and  reporting.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This study analyzes unit root properties of total and sectorial energy  production and consumption series of urkey. This study is the first  to analyze unit root properties of urkish energy production and  consumption in detail. The unit root analysis of energy production  and consumption are tested by using unit root tests based on M  considering without structural break and with one and two structural  breaks. According to unit root test without structural break, the unit  root hypothesis is rejected only for consumption of natural gas. The unit  root hypothesis is rejected for 15 out of the 33 series by the test with  one structural break. When unit root test with two structural breaks are  conducted, 25 out of the 33 series are found to be stationary around a  deterministic trend. The production of hydraulic and the consumption  of lignite, electricity, petroleum, coal and electricity, total energy and  petroleum consumption in ransportation sector are found to be nonstationary,  which indicates that the impacts of innovations on these  variables will be permanent. The policy implication of the results suggests  that the impacts of shocks on energy consumption and production will be  temporary and not have a long memory for most of variables.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[With the growing popularity of Internet communication among  adolescents, the Internet, social media, instant messaging and cell phones  have become important social tools in their life. This study examines teens’  use of social interactive technologies and the role that social anxiety plays on  how adolescents communicate with others (technology or face-to-face). A  questionnaire was designed and distributed to selected sample in the cities  of Afyonkarahisar, Manisa and şak in order to analyze the relationship  between adolescents’ social anxiety and their preference of communication  tool. The data were gathered from 544 respondents among High chool  adolescents (ranged from 15-18; freshman, sophomore, junior and senior).  indings show that adolescents rarely use messenger sites and mail addresses.  They generally send instant messages with their cell phones. They spend  1-2 hours for listening music and averagely 30 minutes for acebook in  a day. More than half of teens have hi-tech cell phones that enable to call,  send message and access to Internet. The findings of the present study also  reveal that females use text messaging more than males. However, males  spend much more time than females to play games. In addition, females  feel themselves more uncomfortable than males for face-to-face talking with  others. And, on the contrary to males, females also prefer to some extent,  to communicate with other on internet instead of face-to-face talking.  similarly, females prefer more than males to make new on internet.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In economics literature the relationship between budget deficit and  current account deficit is known as twin deficits hypothesis. The Keynesian  Approach accepts a relationship between two deficits. In contrast to  this, icardian quivalence Hypothesis defends there is no relationship  between these two deficits. win deficits have become the subject of several  studies to test which of these hypotheses are reliable but no consensus has  been achieved. ome studies found a relationship from budget deficit to  current account deficit but some of them had the opposite result. specially  after 1980 it is known that many developed and developing countries  encountered with this twin deficits problem. urkey also has the problem  of twin deficits. Therefore, it is important to find whether there is causality  between them and the direction of this causality.  In this study the relationship between budget deficit and current account  deficit is examined by using Johansen ointegration Analysis. This  study is based on period 1996:Q1-2011:Q4. According to results of cointegration;  variable coefficients are statistically significant and consistent  with what we expected in hypotheses. urrent account deficit ( A ) has  a significant negative effect on budget deficit (B ). When there is a 1%  increase in A , B decreases 0,12%. This finding is consistent with  economic theory because according to Keynesian Approach two deficits  have relationship with each other. However, in contrast to this approach,  the direction is from A to B and also coefficient is negative.]]></dcterms:abstract>

A questionnaire  survey including a 22-item store personality scale was conducted  among 855 students using a convenience sampling method. xploratory  factor analysis ( A) and confirmatory factor analysis ( A)  was performed. indings suggest that greater accuracy of information is  needed in the purchasing decision related to high involvement products  such as consumer electronics. Also it was found that younger consumers  prefer reliable stores that give accurate information, value for money,  and provides price-quality fit. This study addresses the neglected area  of store personality development and validation for consumer electronics  relates through an understanding of young consumers perceptions  towards store personality determinants.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This paper examines the impact of military expenditure and economic  growth on external debt for a panel of five selected AA countries  including Bangladesh, India, epal, Pakistan and rilanka, over the period  of 1988-2008. sing Pedroni’s (2004) test for panel cointegration, it was  found that there is a long-run relationship between external debt, economic  growth and military expenditure. The study finds that external debt is  elastic with respect to military expenditure in the long run and inelastic  in the short run. In the long run, 1% increase in military expenditure  increase external debt between 1.18 % and 1.24%, while 1% increases  in economic growth reduce external debt between 0.64% and 0.79%, by  employed and M estimator respectively. In the short run, 1%  increase in military expenditure increases external debt by 0.15%, while  1% increase in economic growth reduces external debt by 0.47 %.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This study aims to deal with the ways of creating wealth by economic  activities, presenting experiences within Ottoman state tradition and a  role of Ottoman state during this period. In this context, the economic  power achieved by the state will be explained through examples of  practices.  The role of the state in the economy has been raised with the latest global  crisis and despite the historical expriences, this role has been started to  debate in the economics. In fact, the corrupted state concept should be  re-evaluated and re-established. Otherwise, re-evaluation of fundamental  issues such as market system or freedom of enterprise wouldn’t contribute  much to the solution of the problem]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[MICROALGAE FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY: BIODIESEL PRODUCTION AND OTHER PRACTICES]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Keywords:Sustainable energy, biodiesel, algae, biomas.  ABSTRACT  Sustainable production of renewable energy is being frequently debated globally since it is increasingly understood that first generation biofuels, primarily produced from food crops and mostly oil seeds are limited in their ability to achieve targets for biofuel production, climate change mitigation and economic growth. Currently, biodiesel is made from a variety of feedstocks, including pure vegetable oils, waste cooking oils, and animal fat; however, the limited supply of these feedstocks impedes the further expansion of biodiesel production.  Microalgae have been recognized as potentially good sources for biofuel production because of their high oil content and rapid biomass production. In recent years, use of microalgae as an alternative biodiesel feedstock has gained renewed interest from researchers, entrepreneurs, and the general public. Food sourced feedstocks biodiesel concerns have increased the interest in developing second generation biofuels produced from non-food feedstocks such as microalgae, which potentially offer greatest opportunities in the longer term. Using algae as a feedstock for biodiesel has been considered for a number of years, but it has always had limitations, due mainly to the production methods used to grow and harvest the algae.  This paper reviews the current status of microalgae use for biodiesel production, including their cultivation, harvesting, and processing. The microalgae species most used for biodiesel production are presented and their main advantages described in comparison with other available biodiesel feedstocks. The various aspects associated with the design of microalgae production units are described, giving an overview of the current state of development of algae cultivation systems (photo-bioreactors and open ponds). Other potential applications and products from microalgae are also presented such as for biological sequestration of CO2, wastewater treatment, in human health, as food additive, and for aquaculture.]]></dcterms:abstract>
