    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Biotechnology and Aquaculture in Sustainable Development]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Aquaculture is the fastest growing food sector in the world with its increasing role for  economy and safe food strategy of countries. Due to the continuing depletion of the fish  stocks, farming of aquatic organisms such as fish, crustaceans, molluscs and aquatic plants, is  now a substantial global industry supplying a significant proportion of the aquatic products  consumed. Shortage in food supply and high prices are the possible important risks in the  future, and aquatic products are the valuable sources of protein and essential nutrient  components for global food security and eliminating malnutrition. Aquaculture also plays an  important role in rural economies through the creation of new employments. In these cases,  aquaculture outputs will need to be enhanced several fold in order to meet the rising demands  for fish and other aquatic products in coming years.  Biotechnology options seem to be good potential for increasing aquacultural productivity,  food security and environmental quality worldwide. Biotechnology is offering valuable  options such as protein expression, microsatellite, gene mapping and genomic, DNA vaccines,  DNA chips, proteomics, transgenic technology and embryonic stem cell technology. This  technology provides genetic manipulations, molecular cloning, embryo manipulation,  genetically-engineered diagnostics, immunoprophylactic agents. All of these applications  could help improve the selective breeding, hybridization, productivity, health, growth,  nutrition, cryopreservation and conservation of genetic resources in aquacultural stocks for  the benefit of mankind. However, there is need for the regulation of biotechnology activities  in terms of the potential adverse impacts on the environment and human health. There is also  increasing concern about the impact of biotechnology on sustainable development in various  fields. The main environmental safety issue of these applications is the effects of genetically  modified organisms (GMOs) on biodiversity and gene transfer in the environment. Therefore,  this review discussed the integration of biotechnology and biosafety in aquaculture, and  policies for the environmentally sound use and management of aquacultural biotechnology in  sustainable development.  Keywords: Biotechnology, Aquaculture, Sustainable Development, Food security, Public  health]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Comparison Study of Approaches to Measuring Poverty Implementing Fuzzy Set and  Classic Set Using The Household Data of Turkey]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Poverty is one of the issues several industrialized and developing countries encounter in the  world. No country is exempt from this problem and its consequences. The top list item of the  agendas of both countries and international agencies is related to diminishing poverty. Before  taking action against it, countries and agencies need to measure poverty based on collected  data. It is a sophisticated issue having several dimensions. So far measuring it with available  data has resulted with indicators which show some deficiencies. When poverty is considered,  it is a linguistic term and has a vague concept as mentioned in the theory of fuzzy set.  Therefore, a new approach is proposed in the literature to examine it in order to overcome  those deficiencies mentioned when classic tools are employed. On the other hand, fuzzy set theory is a mathematical tool used for linguistic calculations. For example, when said that  income level is low. Actually everybody knows what it means. But what it means changes  depending upon the perception of the person. Therefore, measuring low income is a  problematic area. Fuzzy set theory enables practitioners to calculate those linguistic terms. In  this study, the household data of Turkey of the year 2003 collected annually based on almost  25000 is used to calculate both classic poverty indicator(s) and fuzzy poverty indicator in  order to compare those measures. In the end we will show that fuzzy poverty indicator can be  comprehensive in some comparisons. Also, it provides more information in terms of  understanding the concept of poverty  Keywords: Poverty, fuzzy set, fuzzy index, Sustainable development]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Persuade to Buy: Implications for Online Advertising]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The aim of this article is to explore the development of a variety of online advertising tools and  the implications that the characteristics of these tools have on their effectiveness, as well as to  discover how important are the amount and nature of cognitive processing that a person does  about a persuasive message in order to determine the kind of persuasion that occurs.  Even though advertisements are a necessary and important component of the Internet, most users  are merely concerned with the quality of online experience and do not appreciate pop-up ads.  However, the majority of previous researches in the area of online advertising lack in application  of psychological theories of information processing and attitude change. This article seeks to  explore the connection between cognitive processing and consumers&#039; online experience as well as  behaviour change in order to provide the most important factors that attract customers. The study is designed in qualitative research approach in which literature review method has been chosen.  The overview of contemporary researches in the area of online advertising will be provided  together with the analysis of psychological aspects of information processing. Moreover, this  study aims to obtain deeper understanding of elaboration likelihood model with the special  emphasize on two routes an individual will take in a persuasive situation and its application to  online advertisements.  It is concluded that cognitive aspects of information processing as well as elaboration likelihood  model need to be taken into account when creating online advertisements, especially banners and  pop-up ads. Also, the list of major factors that attract customers&#039; and should be elaborated in each  advertisement is result of this qualitative research study.  Keywords: online advertising; persuasion; cognitive processing; banners; pop-up ads; elaboration  likelihood model; consumer behaviour; perceived intrusiveness.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Analysis of Factors Affecting the Life Satisfaction of Household Heads Living in Urban  Areas: A Case of West Mediterranean Region]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Since the early ages of history, individuals have sought life satisfaction and considered it as a  life goal. Because of this fact, the term life satisfaction has kept its importance in time and  has been the focus of many studies. Life satisfaction is seen as a positive value gained by an  individual’s own evaluation of the quality of life as a whole, therefore may be described as  subjective. Nevertheless, studies made about life satisfaction use both subjective and  objective indicators. Life satisfaction is partially conceptualized as the result of satisfaction  related to various life fields such as work, family, health, etc. and it is assumed that the  effects of environmental conditions highly help satisfaction related with life fields. When  studies about life satisfaction are taken into consideration, it is notable that the term job  satisfaction is generally emphasized. However, studies show that job satisfaction can explain  only a few of the changes in life satisfaction. In this study, it is aimed to determine the socioeconomic  factors affecting the life satisfaction of household heads by using data from  questionnaires and Logit model. “Unclustered Single-Stage Simple Random Probability  Sampling Method” was used to apply the questionnaires to 490 household heads living in city  centers of Antalya, Isparta and Burdur. In order to determine the probability of whether the  household heads were satisfied with their lives or not, explanatory variables oriented to the  current perceptions of household heads were included to the model in the study in addition to  the demographic variables. Demographic variables were included to the model as the dummy variable. Logit model was estimated by Maximum Likelihood Estimation method. According  to the results of the analysis, life satisfaction of the household heads decreased with the  increase of the size of the city. Similarly, increase in education level also decreased the  probability of life satisfaction of the household heads. In addition, household heads with high  income levels were happier than the ones with lower income. Similarly, if the spouse of the  household head is either healthy, satisfied from job, or is a house wife, satisfied from  marriage, then life satisfaction is determined to be higher than the household heads without  the aforementioned spouse characteristics.

Emerging in the U.S.A. mortgage market crisis in 2007, quickly spread to  the real sector from the financial sector in the years 2007-2009. And so the U.S.A. economy,  increased unemployment and stagnation in 2008 and 2009 a major problem encountered. The  economic crisis in the U.S. especially in EU countries, especially spread through strong  financial relationships. Cause of the crisi spreading, the U.S.A., its foreign trade with third  countries EU’s countries and possble recession and real income loses, narrowed. Foreign  demand for exports of goods and services of third countries. Another reason for the crisi, said  that the U.S.A. debt-based consumer spending growth can’t be prevented. E.U.’s main causes  of debt crisi, the misappropriation of resources, competition loss, and therefore can’t be seen  in this negative economic revival began participation in the Euro. Falling ineterest rates in  euro countries participating in the pre-crisis period, the total demand by facilitating increased  borrowing opportunities. GIIPS( Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Spain) countries in paralel  with an increase in demand has increased in both public and private debts. Increased demand  led to an increase in the prices of goods and services increase in investment.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Factors Which Caused The Decline In The Amount Of The Newly One Family  Houses Sold In Us]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The new privately owned one-family house sold (C25) is recognized as great indicator for  economy. The monthly data in February 2011 was 250,000 houses sold. Compared to five  years ago, 1,061,000 in 2006 were decreased by 76%. What are the causes to the dramatic  decline of number of C25? The purpose of this paper is to analyze factors that determine the  decline of number of C25 in US. Therefore, in this study, dependent variable is the new  privately owned one-family house sold. Independent variables include 30 years mortgage rate,  real personal income, unemployment rate, population, and house price index. The results  indicate when the interest rate increases 1%, the number of new privately owned one-family  houses sold decreases by 20 thousand. When the unemployment rate increases 1%, the number of new privately owned one-family houses sold decreases 81 thousand, holding all  other variables constant. We thought when price goes up the demand should go down. But it  doesn’t fit in this study. Income and house sold have positive relationship but it’s not  significant. It shows that real personal income and unemployment have a high correlation. For  the population variable, the coefficient is a negative number. Even though the p-value  indicates that this result is not significant, we still couldn’t figure out the cause of this  negative relation. The result of monthly dummy test indicates that none of the months has  significant effects. However, from March to July the slopes of the months have positive or  lower negative effects. Consequently, it’s impossible to determine all the causes to the  number of new house sold since many factors are interrelated. However, through our series of  statistical tests, we could be able to conclude that current mortgage rate is significant at 1%  level; mortgage rate at lag one time period is significant at 5% level; both real personal  incomes at lag one time period and unemployment rate at lag two time period are significant  at 10% level.
