    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Field-Dependent and Field-Independent Learners Self-Efficacy Beliefs]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Key words: Field-dependent, Self –efficacy, Field-independent, Language-learners  ABSTRACT  Human beings live in an environment in which they encounter and learn new things in every second.They all learn but even if they look at the same thing, can they interpret it in the same way? The answer is certainly NO.All the people in the world think differently because they do not see the things from the same window so they all have different perspectives of thinking.It is certainly known that each person has a learning style .There are numberless kinds of styles but among the most researched styles, there are field-dependence and field-independence. The field dependent individual‟s perception is strongly dominated by the prevailing field. They are likely to use the structure or organization of the provided field.Field dependent individuals are drawn to people and liked to be with people(Kroutter,ND).Kroutter also mentioned that „Field independent individuals perceive items as more or less separate from the surrounding field.They are more likely to overcome the organization of the field or restructure it, when presented with a field having a dominant organization.Moreover Hall stated that Field-independent learners have been referred to as “analytical, competitive, individualistic, task oriented, internally referent, intrinsically motivated, hypothesis testing, self-structuring and visually perceptive” (Hall, 2000, p. 5).Self-efficacy is a person‟s belief in his or her ability to succeed in a particular situation. Bandura described these beliefs as determinants of how people think, behave, and feel (Bandura, 1994).In this paper,there will be literature review to grasp the topic deeply.Then,steps of developing methodology are given.Later, the data collection and the analysis of the data are discussed.The purpose of this research is to find whether there is a relationship between field-dependent (FD) and field independent (FI) learners‟ self-efficacy.In this research there will be a questionnaire which helps the researcher to find the learners whether they are field dependent or field independent learners.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[FIFTH GENERATION IN LANGUAGE PROGRAM EVALUATION:  TOWARDS TRANSPARENCY, NATION-BASED STANDARDS AND  VALUE-BASED EVALUATION]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Language program evaluation is one of the key elements of systematical language education. It may  focus on many different aspects of a language program such as curriculum design, classroom processes,  teachers and students. Throughout the history, language program evaluation has been dramatically affected  by the beliefs and approaches in education. The dominant and acknowledged theories and approaches in  general education and language teaching shaped the practices and implementation of language program  evaluation in specific eras. In the literature, theses eras are called as four generations (Guba and Lincoln,  1989) which have their own principles and characteristics related with the theories of that specific era. Based  on these four generations theory and current approaches in the literature, this paper theoretically discusses  what the fifth generation will bring to language program evaluation. First, the definition of related terms,  principles of four generations and their development were presented. On the basis of the drawbacks of these  generations, what language program evaluation currently needs and potentials of the fifth generation were  revealed in line with the current literature. Finally, the study put forward some potential implementations of  the fifth generation in language program evaluation.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Fighting Poverty from the Street: Perspectives of Some Female Informal Sector Workers on Gendered Poverty and Livelihood Portfolios in Southern Ghana]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Over the last three decades or so, complex factors including the implementation of neoliberal economic reforms has led to a decline in formal sector employment in the Ghanaian economy. This together with increasing feminization of poverty has driven many, especially young women, to seek livelihoods in the informal sector mainly as hawkers and head porters. Drawing on qualitative interviews with approximately 40 urban poor women (aged 6-25 years), this paper reports the gendered aspects of poverty and the surviving strategies of young women on urban streets. The cameos presented herein highlight the experiences of poverty among street workers and how their livelihood portfolios contribute to overcoming the poor socio-economic conditions facing them. The paper shows that hawking and head portering significantly provides income for upkeep of young women and their families through meeting consumption and other needs. However, vulnerabilities manifested in unfavourable weather conditions, vehicular dangers, exploitation from employers and customers often due to lack of written work contracts are the major risks sturdily connected with these surviving strategies. The paper concludes by arguing for policy interventions such as subsidized credit schemes and organization of formal and informal forms of capacity building for the urban street workers to enhance their livelihoods.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This topic will help me to understand the political statements, how generally “political world“ in our county is fighting with poorness, how to increase employment. How to help people who survive the war, who survive flooding, and any kind of poorness, how to stop that and how to growth economy, agriculture, forestry, farming, agronomy, tourism. Two main problems we will focus on it are increasing VAT and improve tourism as a two ways of fighting the poorness. For the needs of this research, we have collected responses from 160 people, both males and females. Their responses were collected and later we analyzed them in IBM SPSS software. The obtained data helped us to better understand and to develop possible theories regarding the bad economic situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina and possible ways to fight poverty.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The intent of this Master Thesis is to provide an insight into issues and potential of urban areas which lost their function over time and became useless or abandoned – urban voids. This paper tends to clarify those areas based on works of architectural and urban theorists, it attempts to create a simple classification and suggests how to proceed towards regeneration. Furthermore, it aims to stress the importance of these misunderstood urban holes as a different perspective on the development of today’s already overcrowded cities. The paper further discusses the concept of urban regeneration and its tools in practice. Finally, by providing a methodology for applying the practices of urban regeneration on urban voids as areas of intervention, it aims to show the immense potential for future of architectural and urban planning hidden within these forgotten areas.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Film Making and Language Learning]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Theodosakos in The Director in the Classroom: How Filmmaking  Inspires Learning argues that filmmaking ―enables students to explore any  curriculum subject through the active process of making a film about it‖ (p.  30). Furthermore, while Simkins (2007), David Nunan (2004), emphasize the  tendency to teach language through group based projects, Joyce, etal (2000)  establish the essentiality of such group based projects on developing and  enhancing communication skills. In my paper I will examine the impact of film  making activities on English Language learning in classes of mine over a  period of few years where most students were hesitant to produce language  effectively at the onset of the course. The paper will view the cons and pros of  film making activities with emphasis on the potential advantages it carries for  the leaner in terms of enhancing learner‘s pronunciation, vocabulary  acquisition, awareness of language structures and sound language production.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Sustainable development is programming of life today and in the future, in such a way to  establish a balance between human being and nature and to enable future generations in  fulfilling their needs. This concept contains growth and evolution policies in socio-economic,  ecologic, political, spatial, cultural dimensions.  There are some important issues in agenda of countries in order to deal with problems such as  development, growth, preventing unemployment and inflation. These problems have made  themselves evident with the process of globalization particularly during the 1980’s. United  Nations, OECD, EU and other voluntary institutions felt that they need to implement some  guiding and repressive policies in order to ensure that scarce sources to be used efficient in  economic development with a skeptical view on future generations’ welfare.  In the post-1980 period initiated with the “globalisation phenomenon”, the development in  informatics, transportation and communication technologies has caused the globe to narrow  rapidly and has created an environment in which geographical frontiers among all the  countries in the world are transcended and cooperation and trade in economic, social, cultural  fields are developed. The process initiated with globalisation has brought some public good  and service needs (environment, health, knowledge, peace, security, etc.) that concern all the  societies into agenda. As individual countries fail to satisfy the supply and finance of these  goods, common cooperation worldwide is needed and hence the concept of “global public  good” started to take part in the public finance literature. The first study on the concept,  namely “Global Public Goods; International Cooperation in the 21st Century” under the  United Nations Development Programme was published in 1999 and later on quite a few  studies on the aforementioned concept have been prepared within the bodies of national,  international and supra-national institutions, establishments.  This work provides an examination of studies on application of ‘global tax’ as a fiscal  precaution taking account of national, international and supra-national effects the in relation  between global public goods and sustainable growth.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Financial Compensation for Mental Pain Caused by a Death of a Close Person]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: In normal life circumstances, due to a harmful event which results in a death of a person, it is an undisputed fact that the closest relatives of a deceised person experience mental distress.The closest relatives are indirectly damaged, and the right for compensation for mental distress that they have suffered from due to the death of a close person is the right on behalf of the indirect loss they have experienced.    As the mental distress belongs to the scope of an immaterial damage, an intangible loss and there is no possibility to go back to the previous state of things, the only way to compensate for this type of loss is monetary compensation. The amount of money that is adjudicated in these cases represent satisfaction for the loss that has been experienced and are a mean which serves the purpose of relieving the pain for the loss of a close person.     It is widely known that the pain a parent experiences, especially the one a mother experiences when she loses a child, and the trauma children experence when they lose a parent are of high intensity.    Children will suffer form the experience longer than older persons due to their youth. The pain parents experience is more permanent than the pain a spouse experiences, especially if it is a young spouse from a short marriage since there is a possibility to establish a new marriage or cohabitation. All these circumstances are of the vital importance when determining the amount of money]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Financial Crises and Derivatives Market: An Application  of Factor Analysis]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Countries that come even closer with each other every passing day, both  economically and socially, went through and have been going through  various financial crises in the past and present centuries. The close  relationships of countries cause a crisis suffered by one country to expand  within a short time and infect other countries.  With the collapse of the Bretton Woods system and the transition from  fixed rate policy to floating rate policy, the risk involved in inflation and  interest rates increased, and derivatives were brought forward as one of  the protection methods against the increasing risk ratio. The derivatives  markets, which expanded by means of structured products used in 1990s,  reached huge sizes, leading to a more risky financial structure. Although  protection against risks is the main objective, derivatives offer speculative  profit and arbitrage opportunity to their users. Intensely used for  investment purposes, derivatives create bubble economies when they  reach high volumes and influence crises by expanding the financial risk  environment.  The purpose of this study is to analyze financial crises, the effective factors  on the emergence of crises and the derivatives market, and to reveal their  inter-relations. In this study, firstly, the financial crises suffered throughout  history will be mentioned, and, then, the financial crises that broke out  since the periods when derivatives were started to be used will be  addressed. To this end, focus will be on derivatives risks and the five most  significant financial crises experienced in late history will be emphasized by  analyzing the trading volumes realized in the derivatives market during the  crisis periods; the 2008 global financial crisis, the 2001 economic crisis in  Turkey, the 2001 crisis in Argentine, the 1997 East Asian Financial crisis and  the 1994 economic crisis in Mexico. Data will be gathered from online reports of the related countries, public records, Central Banks, IMF and  World Bank reports and previous studies carried out on the same subjects.  The study will start with a literature review that involves examining the  financial crises and identifying the variables accepted as the leading  indicators of these crises. Then these variables will be converted into less  number of groups of variables, by using factor analysis which is a  quantitative data reduction method. This new leading indicator factor  groups will be compared for each crisis, and a model will be suggested on  the basis of possible differences and similarities. Finally, focus will be on  how derivative instruments affect crises and their effects on the created  model.  This study aims at uncovering similar or different aspects of leading  indicators during each crisis period, by examining the five most significant  financial crises suffered recently, and determining whether derivatives are  a preventive or triggering factor on the same crises.  Keywords: Financial Crisis, Bretton Woods System, Leading Indicators,  Derivatives, Factor Analysis.]]></dcterms:abstract>
