    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Cooperation and competition in Information Technology Business: Case of ICT firms in  Konya]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The notion of clusters has been attracted increasing interest from academics and business  practitioners for two decades. The theory and research emphasize their strong and positive  influence in promoting industrial development, innovation, and competitiveness and  economic growth. Thus clusters, become a useful policy instrument in regional innovation  systems (RIS) aiming to promote sustainable regional growth. Related literature suggests that  competitive clusters provide a fertile and conducive business environment for companies to  collaborate with research institutions, suppliers, customers and competitors located in the  same geographical area. They are becoming powerful engines of economic development and  drivers. Not all industries can create opportunities for employment, but of which share  knowledge and transfer technology both directly and through upstream and downstream  linkages with other relevant sectors. Not only they move their production facilities, they also  intend to transfer their research and development units from those favorable regions which  have relatively higher stage of development than the others in terms of infrastructure  facilities, education and training institutions, stable incentives, subsidiary potential, and the  presence of other multinational enterprises. The informatics sector can provide a foundation for the growth of industrial activity in a  developing economy. Therefore, as an example of high-tech clusters and potentially highvalue  added sectors in developing countries, in-depth analysis of the informatics sector with  its hardware suppliers as a whole can shed light on the question of how a developing country  can structure its strategies to be able to upgrade and be competitive over time. In recent years,  Turkey has made an effort as a major player in the global informatics sector. Owing to its  skilled labor/brain force, rapid growth and market potential, Turkey has gained tremendous  attention of the informatics sector since 1980s. According to a survey of a city of Konya  sample, innovation attitudes the company managers operating in the IT sector has been  measured. In line with this purpose survey of firms in Konya Teknokent has been conducted.  Keywords: Cluster, Innovation, Konya, IT, Competition]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Consumer Oriented Marketing: Seafood Consumption Among Children]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Parents’ dominance on determination of food consumption pattern of children has been changing  in recent years by the effect of developing social communication via information technologies,  improving education level and changing social status of the community. Increasing awareness of  children on sustainable and healthy nutrition issues affects consumption habits of the modern  families. Today, parents give more importance to the preference and proposals of their children  for the food selection. In previous decade, adults were more health conscious and prefer healthy  foods than the young ones but today an enormous amount of efforts has been launched to educate  children about consuming healthy foods than never before.  Families with the children are an important market segment for the seafood industry. However,  children’sdislike of seafood or strong preferences for fast-food type consumption is the barriers to  seafood marketing in many cases. Consequently, children are the preferential targets of seafood  promotions and campaigns in most countries to gain more consumers today and in the future.  In this study, seafood consumption pattern and preferences of the children in age group of 10-14  has been researched. Randomly selected 400 children were surveyed through a questionnaire with  personal interviews. The surveys have been conducted in primary schools of two cities which  localized as seaside and inland in west part of Turkey.  Findings derived from the research have indicated that social interaction among children has  strong impact on seafood consumption habit. Moreover, children would promote seafood  consumption in their families. Besides education the forms of seafood specially cooked and  packaged attractive to their age group and promotion campaigns lead most children to demand  and consume more seafood.  This paper provides sample clues for improving marketing strategy by focusing on children’s  seafood consumption. The reasons of seafood resistance have to be identified clearly and  continuouslyfor the consumer oriented marketing in seafood.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Heavy metal induced gene expression in Brassicaceae]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Plants require at least 14 mineral elements for their nutrition. These include the  macronutrients nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg)  and sulphur (S) and the micronutrients boron (B), chlorine (Cl), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn),  copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni) and molybdenum (Mo). These are generally obtained from  the soil. Crop production is often limited by low bioavailability of essential mineral elements  and/or the presence of excessive concentrations of potentially toxic heavy metals, such as Fe,  Mn, Cu, Cr, Cd, Pb, Zn and Al in the soil solution. In the past few years, responses of plants  to heavy metals have received increasing attention. On one hand due to industrial activities,  toxic heavy metals such as Cd, Zn, Cu, Cr, Pb have been released into the biosphere and  represent a widespread environmental pollution. High concentrations of heavy metals in the  soil can inhibit plant growth and reduce crop yields, which can affect sustainable development  severely. In order to study the molecular response of plants to heavy metals, the gene  expression data of model crop plants especially in Brassicaceae family were analyzed by  searching several databases available online. In the first part of this work the publicly  available online resources for these plants from websites such as http://www.ncbi.nih.gov,  http://www.tigr.org, http://www.brassica.info, and related sites were searched to collect  nucleotide sequences that encode heavy metal ATPases and transporter protein homologues.  The second part of this work focuses on the expression of these genes in plants grown at  different concentrations of Cu, Zn, and Cd. Real time PCR (RT-PCR) experiments will be  carried out to analyze the expression of these genes in roots and shoots of B. nigra and B.  juncea treated with different concentrations of metals.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[A Comparison Of Futures Prices On Turkdex With Conventional Pricing Theory]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Derivatives are very sophisticated financial innovations and require highly sophisticated  financial markets before they are introduced successfully. The well-known arbitrage free  pricing theory applied when pricing derivative securities is based on some assumptions,  which may not be verified in many of the emerging markets. Therefore, the applicability of  the conventional theory to the emerging markets must be studied in details. This paper  questions conformity of conventional arbitrage free pricing theory for emerging markets and  discusses efficiency on newly organized Turkish derivative exchange (TURKDEX). Based on  the market data in Turkey a comparison will be made between daily market prices and  theoretical prices of 43 futures contracts. The results show that currency futures in  TURKDEX are evaluated by market players fairly but ISE-30 and ISE-100 contracts offer  arbitrage opportunities. Additionally, this work shows that theory and market differences rely  mainly on inexperienced market players and newly established market regulations.  Conservative regulations on short-selling are another problem to be solved.  Keywords: futures, TURKDEX, cost of carry, arbitrage theory, emerging markets, pricing]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The South-eastern enlargement of the European Union will be the sixth enlargement since  establishing the European Community in 1957. The research uses the Gravity model, and  measures the factors that have an influence on trade. The Gravity model involves coefficients that explain the pattern of trade with GDP, geographical distance, population, and several  dummy variables. Trade that is explained by Gravity model includes two regions, EU-15  (inclusive Bulgaria and Romania) and SEEC’s. The reason why Bulgaria and Romania are  included, even if they are part of the SEEC’s, is to acquire as accurate pattern of trade as  possible. Comparing the data from 2010, the gravity model describes trade flows between 23  countries. Thus, the purpose of this study is to analyze trade flows between two regions.  Taking into consideration the costs of enlargement, this research examines the effects of the  trade, its significance on the development of SEEC’s after enlargement, well-being of  countries that are not part of the EU, as well as it offers a solution for the South-east European  countries. Therefore, the solution that this research proposes is a model based on creation of  the Balkan Union.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Classification of EEG signals for epileptic seizure prediction using ANN]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In this paper, we developed a model for classification of EEG signals. The aim of the study is  to determine whether this model can be used for epileptic seizure prediction if “pre-ictal”  stages were successfully detected. We analyzed long-term Freiburg EEG data. Each of 21  patients contains datasets called “ictal” (seizure) and “inter-ictal” (seizure-free). We extracted  4096-samples (or 16 seconds) long segments from both datasets of each patient. These  segments were decomposed into time-frequency representations using Discrete Wavelet  Transform (DWT). The statistical features from the DWT sub-bands of EEG segments were  calculated and fed as inputs to Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) and Radial Basis Function  (RBF) network classifiers using 10-fold cross validation. We also applied multiscale PCA  (MSPCA) de-noising method to determine if it can further enhance the classifiers’  performance. MLP-based approach outperformed RBF classifier with or without MSPCA,  which significantly improved the classification accuracy of both classifiers. The proposed  MLP-approach with MSPCAachieved a classification accuracy of 95.09%. We showed that a  high classification accuracy of EEG signals can be accomplished in cases when additional  “pre-ictal” class is introduced. Therefore, the proposed approach may become an efficient  tool to predict epileptic seizures from EEG recordings.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[For the sustainability of development, effective usage of sources and the determination of  their optimal usage levels are very important. Healthiness, as one of the main components of  sustainable development, is under influences of many factors one of which is nutrition, and  the number of people who benefit from public nutrition services are increasing every day.The growth in the number of people necessitates that an effective menu planning must be  done in order to keep the continuity of sustainable public nutrition systems.  In this study, detailed plans of 20 days’ lunch menu lists are prepared for workers who are at  the age of between 19 to 30 years old. Fuzzy 0-1 integer linear programming technique was  used during the planning process with the consideration of data’s fuzziness. Carlsson-  Korhenon approach, which is offered for the situations when all parameters are fuzzy in the  model configuration, is applied.

To dream the aimed future and to focus on, to endeavour on targets, to build a  &#039;&#039;vision&#039;&#039; are the powers which a leader has to have. Visionary leadership is persuading the  communities and formuizing the targets. Enterprises today, can not brand , grown and carry  on without having a vision. In the organizations which aim continious development and  continious learning, it will be easier to carry the enterprise to the future and to show visionary  leadership qualifications if they achieve to become open to changes and should be in  interaction with the others and if they should be a living organization. At the end of the study,  by making a multiple regression analysis, a positive relationship has been found between  learning organisation dimensions; (continious learning, dialog and research, learning as a  team, sharing systems, empowered employees,connection between systems and supporting leadership) and visionary leadership dimensions(planning, visionary organizational  leadership, visionary creative leadership)  Keywords: Learning organizations, Vision, Visionary Leadership, Living Organism, Future.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Comunities today and in the future have to process, evaluate and internalize the information  more than past. Comunities and enterprises, which don&#039;t understand the environment, and are  unconscious about changes, and which don&#039;t read the world, are obliged to deteriorate, even  to die. Fiber speed and continious changes of present world, makes compulsory to learn  continiously and to educe information. Enterprises have to be open to continiously learning to  carry on their growth and development and they have to gain capability to share  knowledge.This paper undertakes to contribute to this search by addressing some  fundamental questions about the nature, domain, conceptual foundations, and practical  challenges of knowledge management and organizational learning. A positive relationship  has been found between continiously learning which are learner dimensions of organization,  dialog and research, team learning, sharing systems, empowered workers, connection  between the systems, sharing information of supportive leadership and openness of in-house  cognitive canals through the correlation and multiple regression analysis done in the result of  the research.
