    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The primary purpose of this article is research of the Green Economy in the  Global World, Green Economy Implementations in the World and Examples  of Turkey. The importance of green economy is improved by various  environmental events day by day. According to this case, we have researched  many resources which about the effects of green economy and combined the  all information that two categorized as world applications and examples of  Turkey. Actually, we have defined that what green economy is, with many  different words in order to understandable for everybody because, if we would  like to talk the importance of green economy we must know that what it is. It  is also important for big companies and political forces. A lot of company  knows that the green economy will bring a big profit margin, more  employment and less damaged nature. But, only a few big companies which  placed in the developed country try to do green economic factors in their work  life and corporate culture. The developed countries like U.S.A, France,  Germany and less developed countries like Egypt, India and China carry out  the green economy in order to improve their economy. For example, in the  U.S.A, the political forces has over than $900 billion to use controlling  country’s economy but they used the 10% of this money for green economy and they have received a lot of return. In this study, we must recognize that,  Turkey needs to use green economy every part of production and economics.  We also focused on the weakness of green economy in Turkey. Recent, there is  much study to increase using green economy in Turkey. Some politicians and  economists want to give information’s to people in order to teaching what  green economy is. This is important for Turkey.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[My abstract will be about The English for Employability project. The project was run through a partnership between the British council and the ATFP and aimed to enhance the quality of vocational English training and through this the employment prospects for Tunisian youth in vocational education. The ultimate goal of this project is to improve the quality of professional development, in particular teacher training, in the vocational education sector by building trainer capacity at the national level. The program, which contributed immensely in boosting our career and open new horizons to us, consisted of the following key phases: phase 1: teacher training, phase 2: Train the trainer, phase 3: Curriculum development and Materials design while phase deals with mentoring and shadowing. In my abstract, I will show the impact of the training we had on the quality of our teaching especially in our context of operation in the vocational training sector. Teaching ESP with a huge variety of fields without any coaching or training was a real challenge to us. One of the main problems we were suffering from in the ESP context was the lack of specialized material as well as the inability of the trainers to design the material appropriate to the needs of the learners. This reflected negatively both on the performance of the trainers as well as on our products, who are the learners. Here came the intervention and the input of the British council whose output gave us the confidence needed to carry on]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This study aims to provide an understanding towards the question “Who is  English Language Teacher?” which may sound very simple to answer when it  is heard for the first time, but in reality it is NOT so simple. “Education”  covering many concepts under it is accepted inevitable from ancient times till  todays. The investments for the education by governments are still not enough  to fulfil the changing needs. “Teachers” are playing the main role in that  important process. If that role is crucial what about the qualifications of  teachers? Steps to be taken training are changing according to the needs of the  time and developing technology. By conducting a questionnaire survey for the  evaluation of those qualifications, we examined the current situation and  expectations for that dynamic from the point of the pre-service teachers  studying at a Faculty of Education.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <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 indicates that 250.000  houses were sold in February 2011. Compared to 2006 when 1,061,000  were sold, we understand that the total number of houses sold decreased  by 76% in 2011. The purpose of this paper is to analyze factors that  determine the decline of number of C25 in US. The empirical 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. The results show a positive relationship may exist if rising home  prices increase the quantity demanded for housing. Income and house  sold have positive relationship but it’s not significant. For the population  variable, the coefficient is a negative number. The result of monthly  dummy test indicates that none of the months has significant effects. 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.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This paper investigates unemployment risk and job prospects of males  and females in the two Greece’s most populated regions - Attica  and Central Macedonia - during the implementation of the first  Community Support Framework (1989-1993). Originality lies  in the separate analyses for males and females. The sample is based  on anonymous records (micro-data) of the Labour Force Survey for  both employed and unemployed at Nomenclature of Territorial Units  for Statistics-2 level. Firstly, social and demographic characteristics  increasing the odds of being employed are examined - i.e. age, marital  status, residence, education and training. Secondly, the issue of whether  University graduates have lesser odds of being employed is investigated.  The findings indicate that gender differences in odds of being employed  appear mainly across education levels. Moreover, higher education  attainment increases the odds of being employed particularly for  females. The paper delivers conclusions that can be used for comparative  research among European regions.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Predicting Banking Distress  in European Countries]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This paper seeks to investigate internal and external factors with relation  to regulations in order to predict difficulties which the banks are exposed.  The sample consists of 368 banks in 8 European countries for the period  2004-2007. The model was built primarily only on a set of ratios constituting  the CAMEL rating system (Capital adequacy, Asset qu ality,  Management quality, Earnings ability, Liquidity position). Secondly, we  added the variables related to the regulatory environment. The application  of the method panel logit shows that financial ratios relating to the  rating system (CAMEL) are correlated with the likelihood of problems  measured by binary variables. The probability of occurrence of problems  in these banks is positively correlated with the presence of an explicit  system of deposit insurance and negatively correlated with the presence of  auditors who provide information to regulators in the event of illegal activities  committed by managers. The ability to prosecute these regulators  for their actions has a negative effect on the probability of distress. The  role of the Central Bank in monitoring activity is also very important to  maintain system’s stability.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In this study, the effect of financial development on economic growth was  researched for the most rapidly developing countries (emerging markets)  (Brazil, Russia, India, China and Turkey, BRIC-T) via panel data  analysis using the annual data for the period from 1989 to 2010. Foreign  direct investments and trade openness, which was thought to have effects  on the growth, were included in the analysis. According to empirical  evidence derived from the study made with panel data analysis it was  found that the effect of financial development on economic growth was  positive and statistically significant in line with theoretical expectations.  Evidence that even foreign direct investments and openness contributed to  the growth positively was also found.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This article focuses on the inter-organizational networks and  adaptive capacity among nonprofit organizations in the State of  Florida. Adaptive capacity is a function of the degree to which social  institutions (e.g., government, civic institutions, and the private sector)  possess a culture that empowers communities to make decisions and  actions that support community-led initiatives. The article specifically  focuses on network formation and sustainability among 40 nonprofit  organizations and their networks with other cross-sector organizations  identified as part of the asset mapping for the Strengthening  Communities in Central Florida (SCCF) project in the state. Network  relationships were strengthened and developed especially after the  implementation of the capacity building program. Organizational  factors such as leadership and the level of an organizations’ engagement  with the community have a statistically significant relationship with  the adaptive capacity of the organizational network.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Twenty years have passed since the breakdown of the Soviet Union, and it is time  to draw a concluding line for monetary policy efficiency in the Commonwealth of  Independent States (CIS). We propose a comprehensive treatment of the subject  for nine members of the CIS for the period of 2000-2009. Four transmission  channels are investigated: interest rate channel, exchange rate channel, bank  lending channel, and monetary channel. First, we design a Vector Auto  Regression framework for each CIS member-state and investigate the short-run  dynamics of the impact of each of the four transmission channels on domestic  output and inflation. Second, we construct Auto Regressive Distributed Lag  Models (ARDL) in order to study the country-wise efficiency of transmission  channels in the long run. Finally, we employ a panel data fixed effects method  to show how the CIS behaves as a region. Our short-run individual country  analysis yields highly heterogeneous results. In the long run, however, it’s  apparent that broad monetary base (M2) is the most influential determinant of  aggregate output. Inflation is affected the most by the refinancing rate and the  flow of remittances. For both output and inflation, exchange rate plays a role of  a supporting channel.]]></dcterms:abstract>
