    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[FROM EXAMINATIONS TO ASSIGNMENTS: A SHIFT IN ASSESSING  UNIVERSITY STUDENTSIN LIBYA]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The assessment of learners’ competence provides objective evidence necessary in the decision-making  process in education.This is a key factor to decide the development and understanding of the students&#039;  learning. In most higher education institutions in Libya, the assessment process is usually done through  written examinations: mid-term and final examinations. This means that students need to sit for exams two  times per semester. In such a case, they have only one chance to pass depending on what they do in the two  exams. According to this approach, there is no continuous evaluation done throughout the study period,  which makes students less motivated to learn. Consequently, students would not pay much attention to  their studies prior to the exams&#039; time. They would only study in the day(s) before the exam, which might  affect their results. Therefore, this paper is an attempt to propose an applicable approach for assessment  throughout the whole term.This is because of the fact that &quot;changing the assessment method is a way to  influence the students&#039; attitudes towards their studies&quot; (Berglund et al, 1998). The approach suggested here  would change the evaluation process from sitting for examinations to writing small research papers or  assignments. Such assignments are supposed to be written in stages, which mean that students would be  assessed continuously. The assignment writing is supposed to be followed and directed by the professor  throughout the term.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[From Global Structural Changes to a New  Concept of Sovereignty    Od globalnih strukturalnih promjena ka novom  konceptu suvereniteta]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Global movement of goods, services and capital, that causes the new forms of content and organization of production, that is increasingly growing into a new form of “global production for the global market”, is not able to fully define the essence of phenomenon of globalization itself. What makes the process of globalization is particularly rapid growth of communications, rapid growth of global participants and rapid growth of network system of global institutions. In the process of globalization, with a new form of communication between the growing number of participants in global relations, the structural changes taking place in which the state is losing its global position of the necessary factors of global production process. The growth of a large number of international governmental organizations (IGOs), international non-governmental organizations (INGOs), regional organizations (EU, Asia Pacific, NAFTA), the dramatic growth of MNCs, and the steady growth of mutual multidimensional and multiplication communication between these organizations, creates a process to a &quot;reconfiguration of political power.&quot; Political power has been increasingly disseminated, on the one side, between national and sub-national level, while on the other hand, the diffusion of political power is evident among national government and supranational institutions and organizations. In this divergent process of &quot;reconfiguration of political power&quot;, the transformation of state’s power has been turned up to a new complex forms of global governance in a complex political process in which the concept of national geo-political sovereignty has been increasingly transformed into the concept of &quot;global-institutional-sovereignty.&quot;    Sažetak: Ekonomska globalizacija, koja po najraširenijem odredjenju obuhvata globalno kretanje roba, usluga i kapitala, što uvjetuje nove oblike i sadržine organizacije proizvodnje koja sve više izrasta u novi oblik globalne proizvodnje za globalno tržište, nije u mogućnosti u potpunosti odrediti suštinu fenomena post-moderne globalizacije. Ono što danas čini proces globalizacije ekonomskim, političkim i kulturnim fenomenom jeste prije svega rapidan rast komunikacija, rapidan rast mreže network sistema globalnih institucija i rapidan rast participanata u globalnim komunkacijama. U procesu globalizacije odvijaju se strukturalne promjene u kojima država sve više gubi poziciju nužnog faktora globalnog proizvodnog procesa, što izrasta u odredjujuću odrednicu fenomena globalizacije krajem 20 stoljeća. Rast velikog broja medjunarodnih vladinih organizacija (IGOs), medjunarodnih nevladinih organizacija (INGOs), regionalnih organizacija (EU, Pacific Asia, NAFTA), dramatičan rast MNCs i transnacionalnih komercijalnih banaka, te stalni rast medjusobnog multidimenzionalnog i multipliciranog komuniciranja izmedju ovih organizacija, korporacija i vlada država, vodi ka „rekonfiguraciji političke moći“. Politička moć se sve vise difuzira, s jedne strane, izmedju nacionalnog i subnacionalnog nivoa, dok s druge strane, difuzija političke moći sve je evidentnija izmedju nacionalne vlade i supranacionalnih institucija i organizacija. U ovom divergentnom procesu „rekonfiguracije političke moći“, dolazi i do sve izraženije transformacije moći države ka novim kompleksnim formama upravljanja u globalnim kompleksnim političkim procesima u kojima se koncept nacionalnog teritorijalno-političkog suvereniteta sve više transformira u koncept „globalnog institucionalnog suvereniteta“.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This paper aims to represent the usage of literature in foreign language classrooms in order to deploy the students’ knowledge of English literature as an important part of learning English language. Introducing literature in the language classrooms as well as the benefits of reading it make the introduction lines of this paper. The core of the analysis is presented through the poem of Wilfred Owen, Dulce et Decorum est. This postwar poem with its rich vocabulary is a great tool for a didactic initiation and proposition of EFL literature classroom instruction.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[There has been considerable debate during the last several decades regarding  child and adult second language acquisition of morpho-syntax. This is a longitudinal case  study of ten Farsi-speaking children learning English. The research deals with the initial  state and further development in the child second language (L2) acquisition of syntax  regarding the presence or absence of functional categories, as well as the role and degree  of L1 influence in this regard. Some studies in the field of child L1 acquisition are  discussed to determine similarities or differences between child L1 and child L2  acquisition. Examining data collected from the children‘s speech over a period of 9  months, the competing claims of the two most prominent hypotheses about early L2  grammars are tested: Vainikka &amp; Young-Scholten‘s (1996) Minimal Trees/Structure  Building hypothesis and Schwartz &amp; Sprouse‘s (1996) Full Transfer/Full Access  hypothesis. Word order, suppliance of copula be are investigated and the conclusion is  reached that functional categories are absent at thei nitial state and that they emerge  without the learners‘ reliance on their L1, consistent with Minimal Trees/Structure  Building.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Turkish teachers taught grammar subjects through dialogs for a long time. But they didn’t use the texts enough. But today this situation has changed and teachers have started to use original texts which we use in our daily life. So understanding the structures of grammar have become easier.     A man who is learning a foreign language man must to reach a certain level of vocabulary and build the structure of grammar. To reach this aim texts have a great role. Materials which using for teaching foreign language should contain different types of texts as possible. So that the students can learn different words about different areas. By using this method the students will learn features of grammar structures and they will see how they can use these words in the texts.     +DA suffix has lots of functions. This suffix can indicate time, place etc. To realize the differences of these different using of suffix we need concrete examples. +DA suffix is very common in the advertising texts. Because of that using the advertising texts can be very useful when we teaching the functions of this suffix.     In this study we aimed to show the functions of +DA suffix through advertising texts which we choose from various media organs. We also hope to determine how these functions can be useful in area of Turkish as a foreign language.    ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The term “Sustainable Development” was used for the first time in 1987 by  Brundtland Report known as “Our Common Future”. Being about meeting the needs of today  without diminishing the capacity of future generations to meet their needs, sustainable  development is the most important common goal of human being today.  There have been many international efforts to reach this common goal since the United  Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in  1992. This conference established a connection between Sustainable Development and Local  Governments in its main concluding document Agenda 21. Titled as “Local Authorities’  Initiatives in Support of Agenda 21”, Chapter 28 of this document calls each local authority to  enter into a dialogue with its citizens, local organizations and private enterprises and adopt “a  Local Agenda 21”. In accordance with this call, the Local Agenda 21 Program has been  carried out in thousands of cities all over the world, including Turkey. In this country, local  governments especially municipalities provide several services to their inhabitants to ensure  Sustainable Development in their cities on the basis of the related legislation.  This study aims to examine the functions of local governments towards Sustainable  Development. In doing so, the study depends on the case of Turkey.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The construction of meaning in humor research falls within the cognitive group of operations present in everyday human life and occurring at a lightning speed invisible to the conscious human mind. The topic of this paper is, hereby, Cognitive-linguistic analysis of humor in stand-up comedy. The analysis is based on Fauconnier and Turner’s Blending Theory with special attention to jokes with religious content taken from the materials of American stand-up comedians. The aim of the paper is to prove that the conceptual integration theory is able to account for the creation of meaning in this type of humorous discourse. Furthermore, the analysis will try to prove that the theory of conceptual integration can explain the creation of incongruity in the blends of religious jokes and show that disparagement is inherent in this type of humor.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Futures Market and Derivatives]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The derivatives markets provide an opportunity to investors, farmers, industrialists and other interested groups in their trade transactions to evaluate the formation of prices on future by considering not just past prices but also future prices by eliminating price uncertainty. Derivatives traded in these markets mainly fulfills the transfer function of economic risks and also with these considered derivatives, it is possible to use future instruments, to increase profit while realizing investment, to optimize the structure of portfolio, reaching stabilization for some derivatives markets’ participants’ financial situation, to soften large and reverse fluctuations and to determine the next development trend of spot markets.  In today’s international financial system in which financial markets are getting integrated day by day and there are extreme and unpredictable fluctuations in exchange rates and interest rates, the most important element in terms of capital suppliers is achieving the most suitable investment environment to get highest profit with minimum risk. The main aim of international and institutional investors in terms of their portfolios is getting the highest return within the shortest time. And when we define this investment environment as securities market we face two main subsets: Spot or cash markets in which securities are traded directly and derivatives markets in which futures issued over securities or commodities are traded. With Hull’s own words, we are on the stage for anyone interested in finance to understand how constantly growing derivative instruments works, how they are used and are priced.  In this paper it is aimed to evaluate the importance of derivative markets, its historical development and functioning principles of derivative markets within the framework of risk management. And also informing individuals, institutions and enterprises interested in instruments traded in derivative markets about the reason why these instruments are the subject of these transactions and quantification of these instruments and establishing the required dynamics in the need of derivatives and derivative markets in order to estimate easily exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices which can be reveal in the future while these considered interested groups are making investment decision.  Keywords: futures market, derivatives, financial instruments.  ]]></dcterms:abstract>
