    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Macroeconomic Effects of Interest Rate Liberalization: The Case of Turkey]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This study proposes a financial computable general equilibrium (CGE) model,  which represents the salient features of the Turkish economy. By including 15 production  sectors and linking the real and financial sub-models through various channels of fund flows,  interest rates, commercial bank intermediation, monetary and fiscal policies, we perform a  counterfactual simulation using the financial CGE model to explore the potential  macroeconomic effects of interest rate liberalization in the Turkish economy. Our results show that interest rate liberalization makes the government and the enterprises suffer a revenue loss, but households slightly and commercial banks notably revenue raise in both the short and long run. In addition, while the real GNP declines in the short run, it increases in the long run after the wage level has been adjusted fully and the employment effect has been eliminated.  ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Maddening Loneliness of “The Man in White Coat” and “Like Life”]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Oğuz Atay, regarded as one of the first surrealist authors of Turkish literature, is the pioneer creator of modernist novels of Turkey. He brings a marginal point of view and style in 1970’s, he started to write his works under the light of unusual fiction-style features. In his short story collection “Korkuyu Beklerken”, the most impressive short story “Beyaz Mantolu Adam” (The Man in White Coat) is the one to settle the reader’s mind for the first reading. He is so prosperous and effective about what he wants to deliver to the reader that the main character becomes the focus point although he never utters even a sentence throughout the story. Oğuz Atay consciously creates his main character in this way because his main aim is to reveal the loneliness of modern man in this crowded and noisy world. He highlights chief themes such as: displacement, uncertainty, skepticism, incongruity, independence and more.     Lorrie Moore, a still-living and best-loved author of her generation, collected her short stories in 2008, and one of the most fabulous short stories “Like Life” forces the reader to think on ordinary lives of ordinary people. Her characters in the short story are the ones who seem to have organized and regular lives, but when analyzed in detail, their being incomplete, deficient and unfulfilled are discovered. The characters carry anxiety and doubts inside their souls, and that causes them to be isolated and unhappy. Moore emerges to awaken the reader to point out what they are that makes them unhappy and strange. Limited third person point of view as her stylistic choice contributes to the text and the reader to evoke characters’ inner lives. The main themes used in the story are loneliness, never quite belonging, absenteeism, mode of undefined, and so on.    The aim of this study to compare these widely used themes such as loneliness, isolation, alienation, incongruity in two different short stories by different writers as well as different cultures. The authors’ sex difference also will enrich and contribute to the analysis of these literary works.   ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Makbûl-i Ârif and a Different Perspective on Language Learning]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Language Learning is a subject that has been popular through the ages.  Therefore, a number of methods and techniques were developed and applied on this  subject. Today, these studies are still continuing. Referring to the dictionaries is one  of these methods. Even in Ottoman society, there were dictionaries written in verse to  serve this aim. Dictionaries called Subha-i Sıbyan, which enabled primary school  students to memorize the words and keep them in mind easily, were widely used.  Sıbha-i Sıbyan Dictionaries aimed at teaching especially Arabic and Persian. There  were also other dictionaries in verse which were designed to teach different languages  too. Mehmet Hevai Üsküfi&#039;s work Makbul-i Arif dedicated to Sultan Murad the 4th. is  known as the first Bosnian-Turkish dictionary in verse. This dictionary introduces a  different perspective in language learning. As it is easier to memorize and keep in  mind, poetry has been more effective in language learning compared to prose. In this  study, Makbul-i Arif is introduced as an example for the use of dictionaries in verse in  language learning.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[MAKING STUDENTS MORE ACTIVE IN LEARNING THE PASSIVE]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Why are students of English so reluctant to use the passive voice? The answer to this question may lie in the fact that students find it artificial, even pretentious, partly because it really does tend to be overtly wordy and cumbersome. Moreover, a point often overlooked is that the Croatian language “favours” the active structure as more natural both in informal and formal discourse, which is why students often find it difficult to adopt the passive voice as characteristic of the English language. Also, both for learners of English and native speakers of the language, the passive structure may be felt as contrary to the more common subject-verb-object (or S-O-V) order of syntactic constituents in the transitive sentence, employed profusely in the majority of Indo-European languages.  Nonetheless, not only is it expected of the students to appreciate the passive, but also to use it competently. A great deal of academic English courses focus on formal communication; which makes the passive of key importance to understanding the type of language prevalent in EAP. This type of discourse is essential to studying English at university level, in the authors’ case ESP in the field of international relations and diplomacy, where study materials abound with passive structures.   The aim of the paper is to show that the passive is fairly simple and easy both to understand and apply in independent production since it follows a set of formulaic instructions with little or no exceptions to the rule. It will look into examples of texts such as newspaper articles, legislation, professional literature, etc., and provide various activities used as a springboard for the acquisition of passive structures.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Management Information System (MIS), Operational Risk and Concept of Economic Capital]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The aim of this paper is to explain management information system and its relationship with operational risk and level of economic capital. Today, use of the information technology represents one of the most important ways to achieve organizational success. Effective use of the information technology would lead to the improvement in operational efficiency and greater business management. It would be explained through the application of management information system in banking sector. We will discuss the use as well as the risk that bank is exposed to by using these operations. Information systems have very significant role in banks. Application of information technology affects efficiency of banking operations. With the expansion of e-banking and other electronic banking products and service, banks become more exposed to risk in their daily operations, with the increase possibility of operational risk and different forms of frauds. This is descriptive and theoretical research, mostly based on literature review and findings from different sources. The aim of study is to clarify concept of Management Information Systems (MIS) and show influence of MIS in banking. It plays an important role in decision making process, mostly about protection against potential losses and serves as good management tool. This paper contributes to theoretical literature about Management Information Systems in banking, operational risk, and explanation of Basel Standards and better understanding of Concept of Economic Capital. Economic capital represents amount that serves as coverage for operational risk, with the aim to protect bank from unexpected operational losses.    Keywords: Management Information System, Banking, Operational Risk, Basel Accords, Economic Capital.     ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The usage of fresh water supplies on the surface of globe is serviced for human in  two forms to be ground and surface water. 75%, 15% and 10% of that water has been used for  agriculture, industry and living, respectively. Geographical structure and climate conditions of  region have determined the usage of water. While some regions having so much rain and  surface water, some regions have not got enough groundwater because of the distinctive  properties of those regions. The service of groundwater for usage is more expensive and risky.  The unplanned activities in the closed basins can also increase the risks on the usage of  groundwater sources.  Beside the importance of water services for cities, the case of the wastewater is also so  important. The wastewater of the cities located in closed basin also creates some  environmental problems as well as some bigger economical problems. The increase in the  amount of waste water has been an important problem as population increases nowadays.  Sustainable projects on the economical and lack of these sources of groundwater have stamina  importance. It can be suggested that the waterworks of city must be reconstructed in two  waterworks one of which is to deliver water for drink and another one must deliver water for  use. At this stage, the wastewater must be refined and distilled for reuse for some other  resound such as especially water agriculture, etc. The distilled water must also be delivered  into fields through suitable pipes for agricultural usage. Therefore, the economical, planned  and sustainable water usage will be provided.]]></dcterms:abstract>
