    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Glass Foams Containing Fly Ash And Sheet Glass By Adding Calcite As Foaming Agent]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Glass foam is a porous isolation material used for heat isolation. In this study, the possibilities  of glass foam production using calcite as a foaming agent was investigated. The mixture was  prepared 10% wt. of waste window glass and 90% wt. Seyitömer thermal power plant fly ash.  2.5 to 10% wt. calcite was added to mixture and pressed under 75 MPa pressure by uniaxial  cold pressing to obtain cylindrical specimens. Pressed samples sintered at 750-950 °C  temperature range for 1 hour according to differential thermal analysis (DTA) results. The  effect of calcite addition and sintering temperature on the porosity, density, compressive  strength, microstructure and crystalline phases were investigated. It was determined that the properties of glass foams was changing depend on calcite addition as foaming agent and the  sintering temperature. The results showed that calcite provide foaming in specific proportions  for glass foam production.  Keywords: Calcite, fly ash, glass powder, glass foam]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Lately dominates the impression that most holders of economic policies at  the national and global level are not willing to give up his rigorous attitude  and follow the recommendations on which there is scientific consensus is  evident. However, consistent with considerations of instructions that the  economics have been offered, would significantly reduce the frequency of  crises and the damage that they bring with them. Until today the variety of  conclusions are crystallized. Speaking of preventing financial crisis and its  practical implementation in the process of creating the optimal  macroeconomic policy is a priori highly desirable. So in the United States  adopted a plan that aims to redeem the State risky investment, while the  EU has a similar situation, because there are also carried out bank  recapitalization. Considering the above, the paper analysed and presented  the main activities undertaken on the road to recovery from the effects of  the global financial crisis, as well as the latest developments in the global  market, with special reference to the Euro zone.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Global Crisis of 2008 and its Effects on an Emerging  Economy of Turkey’s Growth Process]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[By the year 1980 with a new world order began to take shape more clearly,  the crisis started to gain global feature. All economies involved in the  global system were forced to play the role given by the new order.  In this study, within the framework of this new order, effects of the last  global crisis of 2008, and the rising economy in Turkey will be discussed. At  the same time the course and speed of the effects of the crisis will be  revealed. The basis of the study which is enriched by the statistical studies  will be formed by self-effects as well as the taken and applied economic  decisions.  In the first section, the process after the national crisis that Turkey had  experienced since 2001 will be evaluated. It has been identified that  Turkey has shown a negative growth from 2002 to 2008. In 2009, Turkey  experienced strict contraction and began to recover in 2010. However,  experiencing the growth rate of 7.7% until 2009 has emerged as a  contradiction since the growth rate was 4.5% even in the 1950s. Today, if  this rate is not increased, convergence is inevitable, which is the focal point  of the study.  Another focal point of the study is, the next 10-year period in Turkey&#039;s  contribution to production due to the young population will peak of the  active population, and will develop a low risk banking system and the goal  of being the 10th greatest country by the year 2023.  In the case of what can be done to achieve that goal; Interest and inflation  will not increase but followed more loosely program than in the past,  maintenance of the external source input and the others. In addition, The SMEs, which are major determinant of the goal of  becoming the 10th greatest economy of the world, effects on the  economy, their more than 80% value added share in the world, since it is  30% in Turkey will be discussed in the part of the study.  At the same time, it is identified that SMEs which have contribution in  dealing with the crisis have experienced the following events in the global  financial crisis. For example SMEs; Tried to survive by reducing profit  margins and increasing their reputation by increasing advertisement  expenses.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Global Financial Crisis and Economic Sustainability in South East Europe]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The global financial system has witnessed rapid growth and substantial  structural change during the last ten years leading to globalization of financial markets.  The integration of financial markets has accentuated the rapid flow of capital across  borders as well as magnified the contagious effects of financial crisis with wide  implications for transmission of financial policies on the domestic economy and  internationally. The global financial crisis has become a major international event and has  spread to developing countries through trade linkages, a reduction of FDI and remittances,  and a collapse in commodity prices. The effect of the global financial crisis was worsened  by rising global energy prices which pushed up inflation. The global financial crisis has  evolved differently from other major crises that have hit the developing world. This paper  analyzes the economic sustainability in South East Europe against global financial crisis.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Global Financial Crisis and Its Impact on Balkans]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The aim of writing this paper is to reveal that the implication of the crisis to the  western Balkans has been not of a sort of financial crisis, but an economic turbulence which  has occurred as a result of lack of demand in the world markets to the western Balkan  products and falling sources of finance. Expansionary fiscal policies on top of external trade  deficits growing at record levels, calls into question the ability of the western Balkan  economies to finance the needs, that in turn increases their vulnerability and that may lead to a  possible financial crisis in future if the global financial crisis continues to sustain until 2010.  What is expected to ease the conditions is the seasonally strong increase in construction, food  exports and private transfers during the spring and summer seasons, expected to close the  gaps that are being established through growing external trade deficits. Increase in  construction business, growing food exports and raising remittances may offset vulnerabilities  of the economies and may limit further economic and financial crisis in the region.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Global Financial Crisis: Economic Austerity Measures Of Turkey]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The global financial crisis has been the worst financial crisis since the one related to the  Great Depression of the 1930s. It contributed to widespread business contraction, increases in  unemployment, shrinking government revenues, declines in consumer wealth, and so a significant  decline in economic activity. Many causes have been cited about the global financial crisis by  leading economists and experts. Both market-based and regulatory solutions have been presented  to lessen the dramatic effects of the crisis.  The collapse of a housing bubble, which peaked in the United States in 2006, erupted in 2007 and  led to a global financial crisis in 2008. This crisis has been triggered by a dramatic rise in  mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures in the U.S. and has caused the values of securities tied to  housing prices. So it has damaged financial institutions all over the world. The financial crisis  which began in industrialized countries quickly spread to emerging and developing economies.  Questions about bank liquidity, declines in credit availability, and damaged investor confidence  had a negative impact on global markets, and caused large losses during 2008.  This global crisis also affected Turkey. But the effects of this crisis on Turkey were limited.  Demand in global and national markets has decreased. So the trade level in both national and  global markets has also decreased. Bank‘s liquidity and profitability seemed healthy during such a  crucial crisis. There were several policies of Turkish Government to diminish the effects of  financial crisis about interest rates, tax rates, exports rediscount credit limit etc.  This study aims to analyze the effects of the global financial crisis and the measures taken by  Turkey to lessen the negative effects of it on Turkish economy.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Global Simulation of a Global Understanding Course: Developing language competence and raising cultural awareness]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This paper aims at presenting how a Global Understanding course syllabus can be used in an EFL classroom using the Global Simulation Method.   The Global Understanding course has been offered to students from different faculties at the University American College Skopje, Macedonia in collaboration with the East Carolina University, USA and other partner Universities from countries all around the world. The course fosters global understanding and intercultural communication through direct contact with students from different Universities from various countries.  Students communicate with their colleagues through chat session and  conference links, and discuss previously assigned topics dealing with college and family life, educational system in their country, personal plans for their future, traditions, customs, food, holidays, celebrations, religion, the meaning of life. Students write diary entries on their sessions, create joint papers on a chosen subject matter with their partner student, give Power Point presentations, and do quizzes on the partner country facts. The objective is becoming more intercultural, being able to collaborate with people from different culture than your own, shattering prejudice and stereotypes, and diminishing ethnocentrism.     In this paper we would like to suggest ways how to adapt the GU course syllabus for TEFL purposes through the Global Simulation Method developing language skills in an interactive and playful atmosphere. The Global Simulation Method is a communicative approach to language learning which has not been exhaustively explored in the EFL classroom compared to its popularity in the FLE classroom. However, it enables the students to develop language competences in a motivating, true-to-life atmosphere, where they become active participants of the learning process. The global simulation of the GU course gives the students the opportunity to work on their speaking, writing, and listening skills, learn language in context and through practical usage, become more independent learners, and raise their cultural awareness.  ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Globalization and Albanian Civil Society during the Democratic Transition]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This paper is part of a research on Albanian society after 1990. This study will attempt to explain and analyses the effect of globalization on the democratization process of Albania. Within this framework this paper will focus mainly on to identify the role of civil society on political behavior in Albanian case. To achieve this goal, the principal aims are to examine how civil society in Albania is involved during the ‘democratic transition’ after the fall of communism and the civil movements&#039; influence on political behavior.In order to analyze the  relationship between the concept of “civil society” and “democratization process” in Albania, it will be studied, among others, from two perspectives: a- in terms of national, political and social context that formed the movement&#039;s goals and strategies in terms of becoming influential on the decision-making process of government through the protests in Albania.    Secondly the features of Albanian civil society will be treated in this paper, based on the debate: “How globalization has influenced the philosophy and organization of civil society? This debate will compare with the cases in the neighboring countries in the Balkan region. In theory, one of the main functions of civil society is to play an important and ‘tutoring’ role in the process of building a democratic society. Analyzing civil society in Albania requires looking at the way how civil society works and interacts with various financial, human and technical factors.    This paper will be based on qualitative method. For analytic purposes, the discussion is organized in two main parts. The first part, examines theoretical part and focusing on the key issues that relate and link the government and NGOs in decision making process and political behavior of Albanian civil society. The second part examines existing Albanian civil society and its outcomes during the &#039;democratic transition&#039; in reference with the first theoretical part. The paper will conclude with predicting the future of civil society in Albania.    Keywords: Globalization, Civil Society, Protest, Political behavior, Albania.]]></dcterms:abstract>
