    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Foreign Capital Inflow and Sustainable Economic Development:  A Case Study of Turkey]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This study analyses the effect of foreign capital inflow (especially foreign direct investment)  on the sustainable economic development of Turkey. The main objectives of the study are to  analyses the long run relationship between foreign direct investment and sustainable  economic development. Quarterly data were used from the period of 1992:Q1 to 2011:Q3.  The Engle-Granger Methodology for cointegration was applied to estimate the long run  relationship. The Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) unit root tests were used to check the  stationarity of each variable in the model. The ADF tests of the differences of each variable  indicate that all of the variables are integrated of the first order. Cointegration was applied to  estimate the long run relationship. A stable long run relationship was found between foreign  direct investment and the sustainable economic development. Even if error correction coefficient was statistically significant, the short run regression model was statistically  insignificant. It was conducted that foreign direct investment had positive impact on the  sustainable economic development in the long run but not in the short run.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Eu Economic Integration Process Of Macedonia]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The purpose of this research is to provide a general overview of the accession process with a  special reference to the economic integration and the challenges of the Republic of Macedonia  in the road of joining the European Union.  The European Council of December 2005 granted the status of candidate country to the  Republic of Macedonia. The Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA) between the  Republic of Macedonia and the EU was signed in April 2001 and entered into force in April  2004. The Council adopted the Accession Partnership for the country, including key priorities  for reform, in February 2008. In October 2009, the Commission recommended to the Council  to open negotiations with the country, as well as to move to the second phase of SAA  Implementation. These recommendations were reiterated in 2010. The Council has not yet  concluded its deliberations on the Commission&#039;s proposals. Visa liberalization for citizens  travelling to the Schengen area has been in force since 19 December 2009.  The country has a small, open economy, with total trade in goods and services recovering to a  level of 114% of GDP in 2010, following the 2009 recession. Trade integration with the EU is  advanced, with about 63% of all exports currently going to and about 53% of imports  originating from the EU. The CEFTA region is the country&#039;s second most important trading  region, accounting for around 24% of exports and around 10% of imports. The export  structure continues to be highly concentrated on a limited range of products, with textiles and  clothing accounting for about 17% of total exports and manufactured iron products for 26% in 2010. The stock of FDI increased to about 51% of GDP, with the Netherlands, Slovenia and  Austria being the biggest investors. In total, EU countries accounted for about 60% of total  FDI inflows. Switzerland, Turkey and Serbia are the most important non-EU investors. The  exchange rate against the euro has remained stable in nominal terms. Price competitiveness  has remained largely unchanged. Overall, in the last years trade integration with the EU is  well advanced, but exports remain concentrated on a few price-sensitive products.  International price competitiveness remained largely unchanged.26  Keywords: EU, economic integration, Macedonia, Stabilization and Association Agreement  (SAA), candidate-country, membership]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Monetary System represents a synonym for modern economic era and its functionality. In  order to maintain economic stability it is important to keep major segments of monetary  system in balance. Throughout analysis we will first emphasise on nature of money and basic  characteristics of it by observing its impact on human nature to reach focal points that could  negatively affect monetary system. Since world is reaching toward one unique economic  space we must observe it as compact unity in order to react on time to all negative impact that  could potentially destabilize international monetary system. Crucial part of the analysis will  be based on uncontrolled creation of debt which represents major factor that creates instability  on the global and intra-country scale. Since the debt is mostly created throughout generally  implemented fractional reserve system we will try to indicate how money multiplier  contributes toward debt creation and how it changes over time. Also institutions like IMF and  World Bank contribute to excess debt creation by formally providing loans to counties in  development that eventually sink into deeper crises. One of the most fragile segments of monetary system is foreign exchange market whose general purpose is often misused by  governments’ manipulations that have tendency to provide current economic prosperity for  their countries but as the final result provides global economic crises. The role of central  banks is crucial in this process and we will see how it contributes to overall activities.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Sustainable Aquaculture Practise: A Profitable Venture In Nigeria]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Aquaculture, which involves the farming of fish for nutritional and economic benefits as well  as food security and income generation, has in the last few years witnessed spectacular growth  in Nigeria. The level of intensification witnessed in recent times has raised several issue that  need to be addressed for the sustainability of the industry. This paper reviews relevant  literature and examines the status and profitability of this green business in Nigeria. While it  notes that economic viability of aquaculture depends on the interplay of various determinants  (resources). It highlights land, water, labour and capital as resources employed for the  optimum production in fish farming. The paper also discussed prospects that emanated from  yearly shortfall in fish supply which is an indicator that there is a stable and ready market for  fish. Possible suggestion were proffered to the problem of poor quality fish seed, high cost of  fish feed, poaching, lack or insufficient of capital and marketing of fish and fish products  identified as the hindrance militating against aquaculture development in Nigeria. The  investigation reveals that aquaculture is very profitable in Nigeria due to the diversity in the  culturable species in the country and its ability to yield between 30-100% return on  investment in some very successful cases. Therefore, if taken as a full time occupation or  venture it makes a significant economic impact on the investor.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[A Loan Payment Model with Rhythmic Skips]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Repayments of loans granted by banks to customers are usually in equal installments. The  general formulae of the amount of financial installment, the number of installment, the  interest rate of installments, etc. could be derived as considering the sum of present value of  repayments made by the customer (installments) to be equal to the present value of the loan.  Presenting the different options instead of only fixed installments to customers for repayments  of loan installments is very important in terms of reaching more customers. Customers could  have some difficulties to pay the loan due to the increased costs in some periods. Therefore,  repayments could not be done in these periods. This situation was addressed by Formato  (1992) first time and it was called as skip loan payment model.  Formato&#039;s (1992) model is improved by Moon as a repayment installments model in a  geometric-gradient series. Eroglu and Karaoz (2002) extended Formato&#039;s result to the case  that periodic payments occur in a linear-gradient series. In this study, general formulae are  derived for loan payment models including rhythmic skips with split geometric constant and  alternating installments instead of random skips with geometric constant and alternating  installments. Examples of the developed model are provided for better understanding and for  future research areas. Since prospective customers of financing institutions demand more  alternatives for payment plans for their loans, financing institutions need different installment  plans. Therefore, it is expected that one of those alternatives would be in this study.  Keywords: Loan payment, Rhythmic skips, Split geometric constant, Installments, Formato]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Human cells face many dangers, including chemicals, viruses and ionizing radiation. If cells  are damaged in sensitive places by these attackers the effect can be disastrous. Highly  regulated processes become deregulated due to genetic alterations that lead to cellular  transformation. Guardians of genomes (Tumour suppressor genes) play a crucial role in the  protection of our cells. Tumour suppressor genes are involved in a diversity of cellular  processes such as cell cycle control, replication, recombination, signal transduction, repair,  differentiation and aging. One of our guardian genes is p53 Tumour suppressor gene; restrict  cell cycle progression, p53 lost its function by genetic alteration (mutation) or some external  factors. TP53 gene contribute to about half of the cases of human cancer. Most of the  mutations that cause mutant p53 protein production are missense mutations, mutant p53  unable to stop multiplication in the damaged cell. The function of p53 protein can also be  blocked by indirect factors. Some viral proteins form complexes with p53 protein thereby  functionally inactivating it, accumulation of wild type p53 in the cytoplasm, over expression  of mdm2 protein are also inactivate p53 protein, PTEN mutation leads to an increase of AKT  activity, an increase of nuclear mdm2 and impairs p53 response  Keywords: TP53 gene, p53 inactivation, mutation, PTEN mutation, mdm2 protein.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Genomics and Transcriptomics Analysis of Metal Accumulator Plants in Brassicaceae]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[some of the economically high valuable vegetables and oilseed crops used worldwide. The  major industrial and food crops in Brassica are the closest relatives to the model plant  Arabidopsis thaliana, and hence are major beneficiaries from the vast data of genomics and  molecular genetics available in the database of Arabidopsis thaliana. Extensive genetic and  molecular analyses have been undertaken for the six cultivated Brassica species. The four  closely related crop species B. rapa (AA, 2n=20), B. juncea (AABB, 2n=36), B. napus  (AACC, 2n=38), and B. carinata (BBCC, 2n=34) provide about 12% of the worldwide edible  oil supply. The other two species B. nigra (BB, 2n=16) and B. oleracea (CC, 2n=18) provide  many vegetables for healthy human diet having a valuable source of dietary fiber, vitamin C  and other anticancer compounds. The comparative mapping between Arabidopsis thaliana and  the well known oil crops in Brassicaceae, coupled with the basic knowledge of mutation  based functional analysis in Arabidopsis thaliana and QTL mapping in Brassicas, could  greatly contribute towards a better understanding of the genetic architecture for the conserved  as well as the evolved traits of agronomic value of crop plants in Brassicaceae. Brassica nigra  has the second smallest genome size (~ 632 Mbp) among the six cultivated species of  Brassica. Approximately 25% of the documented metal hyper accumulating species are  members of the Brassicaceae and some of them are being used for phytoremediation. The  super metal accumulating capacity of Arabidopsis halleri and Thlaspi caerulescens have been  well documented. Because of their slow growth and low biomass, other fast-growing and high  biomass brassica crop plants, for example Brassica juncea and Brassica nigra have been  evaluated for their ability to hyper accumulate metals from contaminated soils.  The Diyabeker ecotype of B. nigra collected from southeastern part of Turkey was found to  be hyperaccumulator of Cu. We carried out the comparative transcriptome analysis in order to  find out the expression level of metal induced genes and transcriptome changes both in low  and high Cu treated plants. Microarray analysis showed that some of the genes were highly  expressed (several hundred fold) with Cu treated plants compared to control. Our microarray  data using Affymetrix GeneChip Arabidopsis Genome Array (ATH1-121501 Genechip)  indicate that possibly several genes including the genes in glutathione pathway, metal ATPase  and ABC transporters are involved in metal tolerances in this ecotype.]]></dcterms:abstract>
