    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Classification of Fetal State from the Cardiotocogram Recordings using ANN and  Simple Logistic]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In this study, we present a comparison of machine learning technics using antepartum  cardiotocographs performed by SisPorto 2.0 in predicting newborn outcome. CTG is widely  used in pregnancy as a technique of measuring fetal well-being, mainly in pregnancies with  increased risk of complications. It is a non-invasive way for checking the fetal conditions in  the antepartum period. CTG is a continuous electronic record of the baby’s heart rate  acquired via an ultrasound transducer placed on the mother’s abdomen. The information efficiently took out from these recordings can be used to envisage pathological state of the  fetus and makes an early intervention possible before there is a permanent damage to the  fetus. Using features extracted from the FHR and UC signals, the techniques ANN and  Simple Logistic was trained to predict the normal and the pathological state. The dataset  which consist of 1831 instances with 21 attributes was tested by using the methods which is  mentioned above. The CTG recordings were also categorized 1655 of them as normal and  176 of them as pathological by three expert obstetricians’ consensus. They were showed that  ANN and Simple Logistic based methods were able to classify the data as normal and  pathological with 98.5% and 98.7% accuracy, respectively.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[A Hybrid Digital Video Watermarking Method Based on DCT and DWT]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Digital video watermarking is one of the solutions for copyright protection of digital  multimedia data and draws great attention of both researchers and digital video owners. In  this work, a new hybrid digital video watermarking method which uses the discrete cosine  transform (DCT) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is proposed. Each frame is processed  with one of the DCT and DWT methods or a combination of them, half of a frame by the  DCT method and the other half by the DWT method. Selection of the watermarking for each  frame in the video is determined randomly. The proposed method has undergone several  attacks in order to check its robustness and compare to the DCT and DWT methods. The  proposed hybrid method including a watermarking diversity throughout the video improves  robustness against attacks.Keywords: Digital video watermarking, discrete cosine transform (DCT), discrete wavelet  transform (DWT), copyright protection.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In economics literature the relationship between budget deficit and current account deficit is  known as twin deficit hypothesis. The Keynesian Approach accepts a relationship between  two deficits. In contrast to this, Ricardian Equivalence Hypothesis defends there is no  relationship between these two deficits. Twin deficit has become the subject of several studies  to test which of these hypotheses are reliable but no consensus has achieved. Some studies  found a relationship from budget deficit to current account deficit but some of them had the  opposite result. Especially after 1980 it is known that many developed and developing  countries encountered with this twin deficit problem. Also Turkey has the problem of twin  deficit. Therefore, it is important to find whether there is a causality between them and the  direction of this causality.  In this study the relationship between budget deficit and current account deficit is examined  by using Johansen Cointegration Analysis. This study is based on period 1996:Q1-2011:Q4.  According to results of co-integration; variable coefficients are statistically significant and  consistent with what we expected in hypotheses. CAD has a significant negative effect on  BD. When there is a 1% increase in CAD, BD decreases 0,12%. This finding is consistent  with economic theory because according to Keynesian Approach two deficits have relationship with each other. However, in contrast to this approach, the direction is from CAD  to BD and also coefficient is negative.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This study has been carried out to examine the effects of the use of additional teaching  materials on student&#039;s performances, during educational activities regarding the use of  package programs in the tourism sector. The study design called for two separate groups.  Students were provided with a laboratory for study outside of course hours. 73 students took  part in practice sessions outside of course hours, while a total of 145 students took the  examinations. While researching the effects of using course books, 93 students took classes  having been provided course books, while a further 97 students took the classes without  course books. A post test controlled experimental design was used to compare the two  groups. The study was carried out with third year students of the Akdeniz University, School  of Tourism and Hotel Management in the fall term of the 2011 – 2012 educational year. To  gather data on the effectiveness of usage of course books, the Fidelio program instructors  applied a test with 10 open ended questions, prepared by employees working in the sector and  using the program and the researchers. For the laboratory effectiveness study, a post test  consisting of 10 questions was prepared by the researchers together with sector employees  and applied to the students. The results of the study were evaluated using the SPSS 15.0  statistical software package. Based on the findings, the researchers have made  recommendations on the use of course books and laboratory study outside of class hours in  applied courses such as package program instruction.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Nowadays, companies cause a lot of environmental problems because of profit maximization,  the endless needs, rapidly advancing technological developments, unconscious consumption  of natural resources, as they execute their operations. At first glance, these efforts in order to  remove environmental pollution means additional cost to companies in the short term  nevertheless they can have a chance of cost minimization in medium and long term and even  additional income in this process.  To meet the needs of business management and related people about the enviroment,  enviromental accounting has started up. The study of TAS/TFRS accounting in the context of  the enterprises is focused on enviromental accounting and its importance, reflecting the  financial progress on enviromental sensitivity reports and sharing those info with the  community. There is no relevant TAS/TFRS on the accounting for and the reporting of  environmental costs within the existing set of TAS/TFRS. Because, the accounting principles  set out in the existing set of TAS/TFRS are already adequate to deal with the accounting for  and the reporting of environmental costs. Also, in our study various suggestions were made  for he healthy functioning of enviromental accounting.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The Foreign Trade deficit, one of the most important problems in both developed and developing  countries, has been occasionally leading to crises and recessions. Nations benefit from the  tourism incomes in the reduction of foreign trade deficit at utmost level. Developing countries  such as Turkey and Bosnia-Herzegovina structurally need foreign resources to be able to solve  the sustainable development and foreign trade deficit problems. In this context, foreign currency  inputs obtained from tourism and regarded as “service industry,” have importance in the  reduction of foreign trade deficit of nations. In this sense, tourism industry has a role in both  acquiring resources needed and in reducing the foreign trade deficit.  This paper aims to present the role and importance of tourism incomes in reduction of foreign  trade deficit in Turkey and Bosnia-Herzegovina comparatively.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[To be successful in the global competitive environment, business are obliged to maintain  their activities and plan their activities. Profit planning is the most important management  tool, since the main target is to make profit.  The cost system, which is used, should provide information for the concerning people about  the many aspects, such as inefficient parts, unprofitable products and determining the  activities and products whose costs are high, but incomes are very low.  Activity-based costing is becoming as a tool supporting business management by supplying  more detailed information as well as effort to determine more accurately the product costs.  However, activity-based costing is criticized because it is found complex and application is  difficult. In today&#039;s management where computers are used effectively can resolve the lack at  this point by using computer-supported system.  In our study, in activity-based cost systems, a methodology was developed, based on turbid  logic theory, so as to eliminate the uncertainty, remove the vaguness and make profit plan by  using the estimated data.
