    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In this paper, complicated dynamical behavior of a finance system is investigated. The change  in behavior of finance system from stable behavior to chaotic behavior is shown with varying  some system parameters. In addition, chaotic finance system with passive control is  considered and the stability of the controlled system is investigated. In order to control the  chaos in finance system, the controller is designed based on passive control technique.  Designed controller is applied to the chaotic finance system for stabilization of system. After  controller is added to the system, the change in behavior of finance system from chaotic  behavior to stable behavior is shown with passive control.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Today’s security threats are more complex than traditional ones, such as HIV, climate  change, human rights violations, anti-democratic laws and measures forced us to think about  the definition and the context of security again. With the effect of these new threats,  sustainable security concept emerged from a post- Cold War multi-disciplinary understanding  of security. Sustainable security redefines how we think about national security in today&#039;s  shifting, after Cold War era. Struggling with these new threats, especially struggling with terrorism requires new approaches to security. The traditional understanding which predicts  balancing human rights and security measures is not valid anymore. In today’s security  understanding promoting democracy and protecting human rights are not causes of insecurity,  contrarily terrorism, which considered as the greatest threat to world security after Sept 11,  wants to create a “police state” to find support their own ideology. Further more terrorism  aiming to demolish democracy and human rights in society; with this, life become insecure,  state become more totalitarian and terrorist acts become more reasonable. For this  characteristic, terrorism called the “disease of democracies”. For this reason promoting  democracy and protecting human rights are the key elements of sustainable security  especially in struggling terrorism  Keywords: Sustainable Security, Human Security, Terrorism, Sept. 11, Human Rights,  Democracy.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This paper develops statistical and machine learning methods for estimating tourist arrivals  which is one of the donnée for planning the sustainable tourism development. Tourism is  arguably one of the world&#039;s largest and fastest growing industries. Sustainable tourism development is one of the most promising generators of the sustainable economic  development. Realistic tourism projections based on accurate tourism forecasting contribute  much for the sustainable tourism development. The challenge of the planning and developing  sustainable tourism is to see as the complex paradigm but one of the starting points is the  accurate forecasting tourist arrivals. In this study, linear regression and neural network  multilayer perceptron (MLP) implementations are considered to make multivariate tourism  forecasting for Turkey. Comparison of forecasting performances in terms of correlation  coefficient (R), relative absolute error (RAE) and root relative squared error (RRSE)  measurements shows that MLP model for regression gives a better performance.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Nowadays, Usage of EMG signals are increasing very fast among the Medical Professionals  to determine specific disorders. Recent Computational Intelligence studies show that EMG  signals can be processed by machine learning methods. The aim of our study is to implement  an accurate system to classify EMG signals using decision tree algorithms. We preprocessed  the EMG signals and used autoregressive method (AR) for feature selection. Features are  reduced by different filtering methods and applied to decision tree classification algorithms,  namely Simple CART, C4.5, Random Forest and Random Tree. EMG signals are classified  as Myopathy, Neuropathy and Normal. All the data are compared each other on the table try  to find out the best classification and feature reduction methods. While tree algorithms  classify the data with the accuracy between %89, 82 and %99, 25, feature reduction slightly  affects the accuracy of the classification methods. It has been shown that a successful  automatic diagnostic system implemented to classify EMG signals by using decision tree  algorithms. Furthermore, future reduction may help to increase the accuracy of the system.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Globalization and competition have forced most firms to develop competitive advantage in  order to compete and survive. In this regard, market orientation and sustainability orientation  can play a crucial role in rendering firms a competitive advantage. Market orientation relates  to satisfying current and future customers’ needs. Literature indicates that market orientation  contributes positively to business performance, and that market-oriented firms outperform  non market-oriented firms. As a result, firms are forced to be market oriented even though  becoming or increasing or maintaining a market orientation is costly, complex, and timeconsuming.  Therefore, the costs of becoming market oriented must at least be offset by  additional revenue. One of the sources of such additional revenue can be obtained by  adhering to the principles of sustainability orientation (e.g., triple bottom line), which  captures the whole set of values, issues and processes that firms must address in order to  minimize any harm resulting from their activities and to create environmental, social and  economical value. Thus, it is expected that firms that follow sustainability principles in  addition to being market oriented should outperform firms that are market-oriented only. The  premise for such expectation is that customers are more attracted to firms that care also about  social and environmental aspects of society (and not just financial) than firms that are marketoriented  only (i.e., care about customers’ needs just for financial reasons). The purpose of this  study is to explore relative contribution of market-oriented firms, and market-oriented firms  with a sustainability orientation. To assess relative contributions of both the orientations, we  speculate a trade-off between them, and recommend that any additional revenue generated  from sustainability initiatives should be redeployed to enhance market orientation that  contributes further to enhancing business performance.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Fishery Potential And Sustainable Aquaculture In Portugal]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In this research, the history of fishery sector and the current situation of fishery sector in  Portugal have been investigated, capture and development and potential of aquaculture sector  have been studied. Portugal is located in southwestern Europe and it is on the Iberian  Peninsula. Portugal has an important place with its total fishery production in Europe. In  1964, total fishery production which was 601.929 tonnes fell down to 207.058 tonnes in 2009.  The main reasons of this decrease in total production are sustainable production that cannot be  maintainet consistently, misuse of resources and difficult duration of adaptation and  adjustments to European Union Regulations. Nearly 97% of total fishery production is from  catching, whereas 3% is from farming. In this case it is clear that capture production is more  developed than aquaculture production. In 2009, capture production was 200.365 tonnes and  the most captured species are sardine, chub mackerel, Atlantic redfishes nei, Atlantic horse  mackerel.  Fish farming in Portugal, which started with rainbow trout production in 1965, has developed  rapidly by gilthead seabream and european seabass production and reached to 6.693 tonnes  per year according to 2009 data. According to 2008 data Portugal has 1392 fish farms and  they covered 1587 hectares. The main farmed species are grooved carpet shell, gilthead  seabream, turbot, pacific cupped oyster, european seabass and rainbow trout. Import and  export amounts of Portugal on fisferies are very high compared to Turkey. Portugal has great  potential about capture and especially aquaculture production. Thus Portugal has to improve  its aquaculture sector within sustainable productions and there must be proper management by  fish farms and governement to spread sustainability all over sector. In the future aquaculture  of Portugal will start to increase rapidly. Therefore Turkey has to improve the relations with  Portugal and they should collaborate closely.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[There is a growing imbalance between modes of transport in all over the world. The increasing success of  road and air transport is resulting in ever worsening congestion, while, paradoxically, failure to exploit  the full potential of rail. But saturation in certain parts of the European Union must not blind us to the  fact that outlying areas have inadequate access to central markets. In this context the main engagement  in the trans-European policy is to pursue the optimization of the interregional transport services at the  European level through a multimodal approach and interoperability for each transport mode. Coherent  transport policy can contribute to reduction of the budget expenses for the transport sector by providing  the conditions for efficient management of infrastructure or the instruments for internalization and  reduction of transport external costs.  For Macedonia case, transport plays essential role for economic development. Regional co-operation in  Western Balkans is of even greater importance today. From a commercial point of view, the Union is the  main trading partner for Western Balkans, and its business cooperation with these countries has  increased in importance.  But, one mode of transport is consistently predominant. Road transport was the main mode of transport  used for trade with European countries. The analysis of external trade shows that road transport was by  far the most used mode of transport for trade with 92% by value. But in terms of volume, this accounted  for 89% over the five years. Also showing a higher percentage in terms of volume than value, rail  transport accounted only between 12-20% by volume and between 5-10% by value.  In addition, the Republic of Macedonia should take advantage of its position, harmonize all transport  modes, because such as South-East European country, it is at intersection of routes to Balkans,  Mediterranean and Caspian Region and Asia. Corridors VIII and X are expected to be ones of the impulses  to generate economic development among countries of Western Balkans.  Sustainable transport is an enormously complex and dynamic subject, and it can be concluded that the  transport system in this region can be improved by favoring those transport modes which are more  effective and environmentally friendly. Key words: sustainable transport, sustainable development, transport modes, road transport, external  trade, Western Balkans]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Increasing of the world population along with the economic wealth deepens the energy crises  every day. Hence we need to find the new alternative energy sources that will satisfy the  energy demand and concomitantly deliver no emission to the environment.  In this particular situation, plants offer us a highly efficient and effective solutions. However  use of higher plants for such purposes can cause several problems such as food competition,  water shortage, arable land, fertilizer etc. Algae are tiny biological factories that use  photosynthesis to transform carbon dioxide and sunlight into energy so efficiently that they  can double their weight several times a day. As part of the photosynthesis process algae produce oil and can generate 15 times more oil per acre than other plants used for biofuels,  such as corn and switchgrass. Algae can grow in salt water, freshwater or even contaminated  water, at sea or in ponds, and on land not suitable for food production.  We are working on Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and some other algae to increase their  biomass and lipid production which can in future stand as an alternative energy source for  next generation. We started our research with Chlamydomonas reinhardtii since it was a  model organism. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a single celled photosynthetic microorganism  and produces a kind of lipid which can be easily converted for biofuel production. The  process of making biodisel from algae contains a number of seperation steps; separating the  algea from the media, separating the oil from the algea and removing the glycerol from the oil  to lower the viscosity. Hence our aim is to produce a high biomass algea strain containing a  high amount of lipid which can be efficiently used for biodiesel production.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This paper argues certain perspectives of using Gold Dinar in bilateral or multilateral  exchange between any nations worldwide. It is to show stability and security of the trades  where no one is negatively affected by fluctuations if merchandises were exchanged in a  particular currency. Globalization and advancement in IT had a huge impact on the world’s  economy in general, and many nations suffer from it while others become richer and richer.  Therefore it is urged to find a better solution for the present and the future generations. It is  obvious that something is not compatible in all those things. In recent times many scientists  and Islamic scholars stress on importance of gold standard and Gold Dinar as a medium of  exchange which a few countries have already introduced. It is the prime time where all  Islamic scholars, economists, professors and any other contributors should be involved to  come up with the best alternative to current fiat money.  After the Malaysian and Indonesian crises in 1997-98 it indeed has happened that many of  the aforementioned are involved to search the way out of this turbulent economic era. In this  regard, we will try to explain fundamentals of Gold Dinar or gold money since the ancient  time where exchange was either in dinar (gold) or dirham (silver). In addition it will be shown  possible implications whether are permanent or temporary issues in international trade. Others, like some statistical data will be introduced throughout the history until today. This  paper is divided into several parts like introduction, historical background of the gold,  statistical facts of the gold money/Gold Dinar, fiat money in brief, benefits and disadvantages  of Gold Dinar as well as fiat money, limitations and further research and conclusion.
