    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Henry James&#039;s the Turn of the Screw: A Gothic Novella with a Modernist Twist]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Key words: Henry James, Gothic, Modernism, narration, experimentation  ABSTRACT  Henry James was a very prolific writer who tried his skill in writing about topics varying from the Gothic fiction to early Modernism, from fiction to essay. He was careful enough to make his own twist even when writing a story that could seemingly belong to the Gothic subgenre, as with his novella The Turn of The Screw. It has all the necessary Gothic elements, but its ambiguity and openness is rather a characteristic of Modernism than of a simple Gothic ghost story.  In this paper, I will analyze if this novella could be considered a Modernist type of writing and to what degree. Elements that convey the Gothic tradition are noted and discussed with the notion of James’s own approach to the genre. James’s narrative strategy in The Turn of the Screw serves the purpose of ambiguity, where the unreliable narrators are rather characteristics of Modernism than of the novels that convey the Gothic genre. In this sense, the importance of the narrative strategy and unreliable narrators are the major sub-topics of this paper. It will also be discussed to what extent these features contribute to Modernism, and abandon, or deviate, the Gothic subgenre.  This paper also explores the question of the narrator, especially the relation between the governess’s manuscript and the unnamed narrator’s retelling of Douglas’s reading from her manuscript. James’s use of various experimentations deviated from Gothic norms prove that he was Modernist in his approach to the story telling and the narrative technique. In addition, the reliability of the governess’s narration is discussed through a Freudian reading.  Gothic conventions in the novella are closely observed in this paper. It is stressed that Gothic novels have some similarities with the traditional realist writing. Gothic prose is mostly based upon a riddle where the truth and resolution are delivered at the end, thus bringing the story to its end, whereas Modernist writing tends to end with open questions and ambiguity.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[HESITATIONS IN SPEECH PRODUCTION IN THE MEDIA]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Nowadays we are witnessing a substantial growth in the number of radio stations, as well as a simultaneous decline in the quality of hosts’ speech, particularly its fluency. Whereas people may be quite tolerant of various hesitations in everyday conversations, listeners often find dysfluencies in the speech of radio hosts distracting and irritating, expecting the hosts to be skilled in controlling their output. This research paper therefore offers a contrastive analysis of hesitations in the speech production of English and Croatian radio hosts, with the aim of determining whether the frequency of hesitation markers can be related to the formal training of hosts. If so, we can suppose that greater fluency of speech may be achieved through practice. To this purpose we have analyzed eight minutes (480 seconds) of speech of 32 radio hosts, 16 American and 16 Croatian, with an equal number of males and females in each group. Also, half of the hosts work on public radio stations, and the other half on commercial ones. In order to obtain as objective results as possible, the analyzed samples were taken from different episodes of talk-shows on various subjects, as well as from different parts of the episodes (beginning, middle part and ending). The results indicate that there is no correlation between gender and fluency since there was no relevant difference in the frequency of hesitations produced by male and female hosts, in spite of the generally accepted popular view that women are more fluent and verbal than men. More importantly, the results indicate that fluency is an aspect of speech that can be improved through practice and formal training. A surprisingly similar number of hesitations in the speech of American and Croatian hosts confirms the fact that speech fluency is a cognitive aspect of language, independent of language specific features.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[HIGH - RISE BUILDINGS  STRUCTURES AND MATERIALS]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[High-rise buildings present a challenge; they present a challenge for architects,  engineers, occupants as well as observers. They attract the viewer&#039;s eye. They are  our monuments and often become city landmarks and tourist attractions. City views  from the tops of the buildings are also extremely appealing. People either praise  them or criticize them, but they are indeed an important part of urban landscape in  every modern city. They are here, present, and can be found in every metropolis or  city that intends to become one. Sometimes they stand in awe, and sometimes they  stretch above. For all they are, or for all they are not, their builders are the culprits  responsible for these magnificent structures.  This book is the result of a serious research, and it is intended to become a textbook  for the &quot;High-Rise Buildings&quot; course held at the Master&#039;s Degree Program at the  Department of Architecture at the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences of  the International BURCH University in Sarajevo. However, students of other  architectural faculties or departments of architecture, students of structural  engineering, as well as architects and structural engineers in design and  construction themselves may find this book helpful. Parts of the book, or the entire  book may also be of interest for a common reader.  As the human body is composed of brain, skeleton, muscles, organs, blood and  nervous system, all of which have their own functionality and appearance, the  organism we call a high-rise building is also composed of load-bearing structure,  different materials applied, and various embedded functional systems that allow for  comfort and serviceability of these structures. Their appearance catches the  observer’s eye and causes different emotions; sometimes these emotions are  positive, sometimes not so much, but essentially everything that initiates any  emotion in a person becomes a truly memorable experience]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[High stakes assessment: has there come a time to do something about it?]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The market has put on the surface the need of establishing tests which will be used for assessing proficiency in English needed for different purposes, e. g. further education or employment. There are many standardized high stakes assessment tests available on the market, the most popular being TOEFL, TOEIC, IELTS, TSE, CELS, OPI and SIOP. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, most of the tests used for this type of assessment have been made individually either by institutions (usually private language schools) or teachers themselves, with claims of having fulfilled the CEFR standards in total when designing the tests.   In an effort to shed light of the present status of high stakes assessment, a small-scale research has been made in order to establish whether any detailed insight into the problem is needed at all. A test used in a privately owned institution has been taken as a specimen for the purpose of this study and looked into in detail. The analysis has had its focus on issues of validity, reliability and washback effect of the test itself, as well as on the impact of the test on instruction and student attitudes. Furthermore, some additional considerations, such as whether the test covers what it claims to measure and the very aspects of English language proficiency the test does not cover, have also been discussed.   What is obvious from the research is the fact that though there still exists a huge discrepancy between some aspects of high stakes assessment in general and needs of the present day market, there has been a substantial progress made as far as balancing approach to interpreting and using test data for the benefits of all the sides involved in the process in concerned.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The purpose of this research;production olivine doped concrete is subjected to various  experiments by designing and applying to provide to increase the fire resistance. The olivine  doped concrete samples were obtained by using TS 802,which provide from olivine mining  facilities located in Isparta-Sütçüler-Ayvalıpınar. Aggregate was provide from aggregate mine  in Isparta-Atabey. Ordinary concrete samples were obtained by using same mixing rate on the  olivine doped concrete . Olivine doped and ordinary concrete samples were heated at 3000  C,6000C and 900 0C during 2 hours in the spring laboratory of Dokuz Eylul University in  Đzmir, which have been taken their cure of 28 day. Later the ultrasound pulse velocity (UV)  and compressive strength of samples have been determined at construction laboratory of  Suleyman Demirel Universty in Isparta.It has been found that normal aggregate descreased  compressive strength by heat increasing, whereas using olivine instead of normal aggregate  increased compressive strength until 6000C,but decreased at 9000C.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Anahtar Kelimeler: Hilmi Yavuz, Poetikası, Tasavvuf İmgesi.  ÖZET  İlk şiir kitabı “Bakış Kuşu” nun 1996’da yayımlanmış olan Hilmi Yavuz’un şiirlerini kaleme alışı hep farklı açılardan olmuştur. Bazı şiirlerinde geleneğin içinde kaybolan şair, bazı şiirlerinde modern Batı imgesini kullanmıştır. Şiiri özgürce yorumlaması gereken okurun, imgelerle yol bulması gerektiğine karşı çıkmıştır. Hilmi Yavuz; şiiri yapanın dil değil söz olduğunu, şiirin tarihinin ise dilden söze doğru olduğunu söylemiştir. Okuyucunun kulaklarında müzikaliteyi hissettiren şair, felsefesini ve ideolojisini şiirlerinde yansıtmıştır. Şairce tasavvuf masivadan vazgeçip gönlü terbiye etmektir. Tasavvufun yalnız yapısıyla ilgilenen, tasavvufu ve klasik şiiri malzeme olarak kullanan şair yeni bir şiir anlayışı oluşturma peşindedir. Bu çalışma ile Hilmi Yavuz’un kim olduğu, şiirlerini yazarken biçim ve öz bakımından hangi ilke ve kuralları kullandığı tespit etmek. Ayrıca şiirlerindeki tasavvuf unsurlarının neler olduğu ve bu unsurların yenilikçi şiir anlayışı ile nasıl yansıdığını anlatmak amaçlanmıştır]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Hiring a High-quality Auditor and debt maturity structure: Evidence from Iranian firms]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: The current research is an attempt to offer new insights into the association between hiring high-quality audit firms and corporate debt maturity structure.  To this end, 94 firms listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange were scrutinized for the period 2011-2015. To test the research hypotheses, multiple regression and data panel were employed. The findings confirm that a high-quality audit firm can enhance the debt maturity. The results of testing the research hypothesis point to a significant correlation between the hiring of a high-quality audit firm and corporate debt maturity structure, in that short-term debt and quality audit are two alternative mechanisms used to mitigate information asymmetry and monitor managerial behavior. Therefore, in firms audited by high-quality audit firms, due to the effective monitoring imposed by auditors on debt convent, creditors experience information asymmetry and less agency costs, thereby desiring to extend the debt maturity. The findings of current study not only fill existing gaps in the field, but also contribute to decision-making practices in stock exchange.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Bosnian language-for Balkans- has always been a very sensitive question. Therefore, this paper deals with the reasons behind dissolution of Serbo-Croatian language into three different languages from the historical, socio-political and linguistic perspectives. This paper began with the historical background as inevitable introductory framework for an understanding of language changes and transformations. Then the second part of this paper analyzes socio-political developments and language that were conditioned by various historical processes. An attempt has been made to present how language was evolving from Medieval Bosančica to present day three constitutionally accepted languages namely Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian. Furthermore, last part of the paper deals with the main characteristics of Bosnian language in comparison to Serbian and Croatian languages. Apart from indicating affirmed historicity of Bosnian language this paper holds that the development of different languages in Bosnia-Herzegovina was a result of a need for national identification. However, there are insignificant linguistic differences among three languages that are officially used in Bosnia-Herzegovina.   Key words: Bosnia-Herzegovina, Language, Bosnian language and Serbo-Croatian Language]]></dcterms:abstract>
