    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This study seeks to explain the management entrenchment by investment of free  cash flow (FCF) in research and development (R&amp;D), debt, market structure  (internal or external), the multinational nature of firms and the characteristics of  the board of directors using a sample of 128 groups of French companies listed on  the SBF250 between 2003 and 2008. The results show that investment in R&amp;D  helps the managers to enhance their authority with respect to the shareholders. The  multinational nature of the firm exerts a significant effect on the entrenchment  strategy. Manager replaces the internal capital market to the outside market to  avoid scrutiny by creditors. We also find an insignificant effect exerted by the debt  on the management entrenchment. Finally, we find the absence of a significant  relationship between management entrenchment, as measured by discretionary accruals  and seniority of the officers, and the characteristics of the board of directors.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Radesso: Connecting Clients and Specialists Platform]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Radesso is a location-aware job-seeking platform that enables clients to publish on-site or online orders and allows workers to discover, filter, and apply to them with high geographic precision. The platform addresses the persistent struggle of finding a suitable specialist “for any life scenario” within a single environment by combining modern web UX with a rigorously engineered geospatial backend.<br />
The front end is built with React and Leaflet (Leaflet.draw over OpenStreetMap tiles), allowing workers to define one or more work areas by drawing circles, rectangles, and polygons. On the server, a NestJS, TypeORM, PostgreSQL/PostGIS stack normalizes incoming GeoJSON to SRID 4326 (WGS84) and consolidates all shapes into a canonical MultiPolygon with GiST indexing for efficient spatial queries [1].<br />
Security is managed through a production-grade authentication subsystem, including OTP email verification, Google OAuth, and short-lived JWT access tokens (RS256/ES256) carrying a kid header mapped to a database Keystore and Signing Key tables. Refresh tokens are device-scoped, hashed, and rotated on use, while a public JWKS route exposes verification keys for third-party consumers. Role-scoped access is enforced via modular guards, with session-based authentication planned for first-party web sessions.<br />
The matching system blends relevance and fairness by combining distance containment, price fit, category/competency match, listing freshness, and Bayesian worker rating into a configurable score. The query builder pre-filters by geometry and competencies before ranking, targeting sub-500 ms feed latency under spatial<br />
<br />
indexing. A focused test suite with Jest unit tests validates token/key rotation, keystore lifecycle, query-builder filters, and geospatial utilities.<br />
Operational deployment is packaged for Dokploy (API, database, secrets) with optional Tailscale access, while OpenAPI/Swagger documentation ensures discoverability.<br />
Radesso contributes a cohesive blueprint—and a working core—for a localized job-seeking platform where workers proactively seek orders. The near-term roadmap includes reviews and appeals, enhanced admin moderation, and telemetry, positioning Radesso to evolve into a trusted, geospatially precise hub for local work.<br />

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Raising Cultural Awareness: Comparative Study of Cultural and Traditional Elements of Bosnia and Herzegovina]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In language teaching, culture becomes the very core of language teaching. The teaching of culture has been mostly based on topics clearly identified in curricula and, further on, in the textbooks. Cultural awareness as such arises out of the language material being studied, but it is also identified and treated as a regular characteristic of the language lesson.     Today, both foreign and national English language textbooks are used by English teachers in elementary schools. But, according to the Curriculum for English of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, each textbook for English language teaching at the elementary school level must consist of 30% of authentic cultural and traditional elements of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Those elements are methodologically incorporated in the textbooks in forms of reading comprehension texts, literary texts, poetry, quizzes and other language activities and exercises. The forms are constructed to develop linguistic and cultural awareness in the community in which they are produced. They can give the learners valuable insight into their own, Bosnian culture as well as to the language and form used to express that culture in English language. However, the purpose is not to, consequently, limit the knowledge and awareness of the English speaking countries’ cultures. On the contrary, they are constructed to noticeably reflect and emphasise the cultural diversities of those countries.    This paper provides a comparative study of specifically constructed texts and language activities in different English language textbooks at elementary school level that reflects the culture and tradition of Bosnia and Herzegovina treated alongside with the same ones of English speaking countries. Its aim is to compare methodologies that different authors and co-authors have applied in order to fulfil the requirements of the above mentioned Curriculum.  ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Raising Language Learners‘ Pragmatic Awareness and Intercultural  Competence  in Increasingly Multilingual Environments]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Pragmatic fluency forms crucial part of a language user‘s competence. Norms  of politeness, communicative styles, scripts and preferences differ between languages and  cultures in describable ways, FL realizations of pragmatic functions are often unclear to  the learner where the relevant contextual factors are not self-evident, or are ignored when  they inconceivably grossly differ from the L1 phenomena. Even positive L1 transfer is not  activated if the learner has not been trained, whereas handling pragmatic and discourse  features of the TL in the classroom is conducive to increased operationality in the use  thereof.  A promising perspective for successful intercultural and pragmatic training is the  Interface Model, which proceeds from an explication of how relevant principles operate  in the learners‘ L1 (culture) through an explanation of pertinent L2 norms and subsequent  modification of the L1 principle to accommodate L2 data, to practice first expecting the  learner to apply the appropriate FL strategies and speech acts against an L1 (!) context. By  such a gradual, multi-stage method the learner becomes ‗pragmatically fluent‘ before  commencing to use the operational principles in the TL itself. The juxtaposition and use  of L1 and L2 principles alongside lead to successful automatization and internalization of  the material and the development of pragmatic multicompetence – L2 users differ  significantly in their employment of pragmalinguistic strategies from monolingual  speakers of either language, transferring similar speech acts back and forth between the  tongues in their command. The Interface Model enables them to transfer those patterns of  interactional behavior which will be appropriate.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Ranking the Strategies of Human Resource Management  During Economic Crisis Period Using Analytic Hierarchy  Process]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Choosing a right action in economic crisis period is a kind of multi-criteria  decision making problem for human resource management. The aim of this  study was to determine the precedence order of these human resource  management activities including recruitment, reducing workforce,  terminating contracts before they are due, stopping renewing labor  contracts, outsourcing business in order to reduce workforce, using more  casual workers, increasing the use of flexible working hours, freezing  recruitment, expanding workforce, cutting training budget, reducing  support for self-initiated study , reducing off-the-job training for middle  managers, reducing off-the-job training for low managers, reducing offthe-  job training for other employees, reducing on-the-job training,  increasing training budget, increasing off-the-job training for middle  managers, increasing off-the-job training for low managers, increasing offthe-  job training for other employees, increasing on-the-job training,  reducing individual performance goals, conducting appraisals more often,  conducting appraisals less often, stopping conducting appraisals, rewards  and compensation, freezing pay increments, increasing pay increments,  reducing base pay rate, increasing base pay rate, reducing performancebased  pay rate, increasing performance-based pay rate, reducing fringe  benefits, reducing superannuation contributions, restructuring working  hours by means of training, hiring part-time employees, freezing the wages  and stopping performance-related payment, etc.  The survey participants were the human resource management  professionals and academicians. In analyzing the data, Analytical Hierarchy  Process (AHP) methodology was used. AHP was developed in the 1970s by  Thomas Saaty is a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methodology. It  has been used extensively for analyzing complex decisions. The approach can be used to help decision-makers for prioritizing alternatives and  determining the optimal alternative using pair-wise comparison  judgments. AHP is a effective decision making method especially when  subjectivity exists and it is very suitable to solve problems where the  decision criteria can be organized in a hierarchical way into sub-criteria.  The findings of previous studies about human resource management  activities in economic crisis time were first identified by literature review.  Human resource managers/experts expressed or defined a ranking for the  attributes in terms of importance/weights. Each human resource expert is  asked to fill ‘‘checked mark’’ in the 9-point scale evaluation table. The AHP  allows group decision making. One of the main advantages of the AHP  method is the simple structure. This paper analyzes the possible actions  taken by Human Resources managers that are facing the economic crisis.  Keywords: Human Resource Management, Economic Crisis, Analytic  Hierarchy Process, Multi Criteria Decision Making, Ranking Strategies]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[RASUL RZA- INNOVATOR POET OF THE 20th CENTURY  AZERBAIJANI LITERATURE]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The prominent Azerbaijani poet Rasul Rza (real name Rasul Ibrahim oglu Rzayev,  1910–1981 ), who wrote his epics and poems in free measure played particular role in  development of poetic conscience of Azerbaijani literature. In modern Azerbaijani  poetry, with his different poetical thinking, special expression skills Rasul  Rza engaged a special place as he brought a new breath to an Azerbaijani  literature with his innovation. His poetry carried inspirational, motivational  as well as thought provoking features.  In today&#039;s globalized world poets often borrow styles, techniques and forms from  diverse cultures and languages. It is undeniable that some forms of poetry are specific  to particular cultures and genres, responding to the characteristics of the language in  which the poet writes. In this regard the poetry of the venerable poet R.Rza was  distinguished with philosophical lyricism, the vividness of the ideas and the emotions  and original poetic characters. His philosophical poems from series of  &#039;Rengler&#039;(&#039;Colours&quot;), lyrical epic poems &#039;Fuzuli&#039; and &quot;Gizilgul olmayaydi(If only there  were not a rose)&quot; are considered to be the best patterns of Azerbaijani poetry.  Notwithstanding the new reference entailed adversities among writers, poets and  readers towards him. Rasul Rza went through all hindrance and critiques, and as a  deduction of his poetic experience he surmounted the difficulties and featured literary  innovator school to the national literature. It must be noted that, the beginning of the  20th century, the period of massive revolutions as well as a cultural revolution,  endowed with Azerbaijani literature a new form and meaning. Rasul Rza resorted to  blank verse, when everybody got used to listen and recite samples of the traditional  poetry. But the overturn of all casts regarding to traditional poetry was a veritable  heroism done by the innovator poet, i.e. the choice of words and figures, pay  attention to elements of poetic diction special to blank verse poetry demanded  competence, skill, audacity and etc. Based on all aforementioned dignities, it can be  concluded that the evaluation of the creativity of Rasul Rza is of paramount  importance to the national heritage of Azerbaijani -Turkic people.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Jedan od najvećih problema u Bosni i Hercegovini, od samog potpisivanja Dejtonskog sporazuma, predstavlja stvaranje zajedničkog odbrambeno - sigurnosnog sistema, a samim tim i donošenja i uspostavljanja zajedničke sigurnosne politike Bosne i Hercegovine. Problem leži u tome što Bosna i Hercegovina još uvijek nema zaokružen sistem nacionalne (državne) sigurnosti, što proističe iz oslikavanja državne strukture i na sigurnosni sektor. Akt o sigurnosnoj politici je osnov kako za prevenciju tako i represiju modernih sigurnosnih izazova svake demokratske države. Prethodno navedene značajke je moguće posmatrati kao jasan indikator da istraživanje njegove preduge izrade i usvajanje uz političke kompromise, koja je itekako nedopustiva, ima naučnu, stručnu, ali i društvenu opravdanost. Jedno od rješenja koje se nameće, ali lahko ne ostvaruje, su evropske integracije koje bi značile usklađivanje svih zakonskih akata sa evropskim, i poštivanje principa Evropske unije. S tim u vezi, ovaj rad neposredno tretira negativne, ali i pozitivne aspekte razvoja sigurnosne politike Bosna i Hercegovina na putu ka euroatlanskim integracijama.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[READING COMPREHENSION STRATEGIES &amp; MOTHER TONGUE USE IN EAP COURSES IN ISRAELI ACADEMIA]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The goal of this paper is two-fold. First, we outline the various reading comprehension strategies employed in teaching EAP courses in Israel, and discuss challenges faced by students- native speakers of various Semitic languages (Hebrew, Arabic, and Amharic).  Second, we advocate the use of L1 in our L2 classrooms and explore the contexts in which this practice is most beneficial for the learner.    	The ultimate goal of an EAP course in Israeli academia is to equip students with tools for coping with academic texts in English, thus rendering a central role to teaching a wide array of reading comprehension strategies (cf. Raftari, Seyyedi, &amp; Ismail, 2012; Rraku, 2013 for similar views). Proficient readers need to employ a variety of reading strategies (Anderson, 1991, 2005; Block, 1986, 1992; Carrell, 1998; Hock &amp; Mellard, 2005), including word-, sentence-, paragraph-, and text-level strategies. In order to achieve high level of proficiency, reading strategies are explicitly taught and practiced by means of authentic academic texts of varying length and structure/complexity.  	The need to teach and train students in the various text-coping techniques brings us to the second challenge: the use of L2 vs. L1 in our EAP classrooms. Efficient teaching involves imprinting reading strategies in the students&#039; metacognition (Carrell, 1998; Farrell, 2001; McNeil, 2011; Song, 1998; Winograd &amp; Hare, 1988), hence the importance of students&#039; understanding of the teacher&#039;s explanations. In this context, the use of the students&#039; mother tongue (L1) in EAP instruction gains higher importance. Numerous advocates of L1 in ESL/EFL classrooms have outlined a comprehensive list of efficient uses of L1 (Atkinson, 1987; Auerbach, 1993; Cook, 2001; Schweers, 1999). We strongly believe that, especially in the case of weaker students, the use of L1 will facilitate their understanding and internalization of various reading comprehension strategies. To this end, we advocate presentation of (some of) text-coping techniques using the students&#039; L1, as well as initial exemplification of these techniques using an authentic academic text in the students&#039; mother tongue.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Key words:Bibliotherapy, Puberty Books, Reading Education,Turkish Language Education, Puberty  ABSTRACT  Bibliotherapy is a reading strategy which aims to help people solve their problems or adapt to a new environment with the help of specifically chosen texts. This study aims to examine the first works of youth era in Turkish Literature in educational activities on the basis of bibliotherapy. The target group of the study includes 12 to15-year-old students of secondary stage in primary schools. The main problems of young people aged between 12-15 can be ordered as in the following: stepmother and stepfather, puberty, physical appearance deficiencies (disability, structural deficit, emaciation or obesity), not able to accept socio-economical status, being ashamed of family, introduction to bilateral relations and new concepts, addiction, neglect, child sexual abuse, change of location, test anxiety, death of a family member/ relative, violence from family or acquaintances. For this purpose, the puberty works which appeal to young people aged between 12-15 were analyzed by using content analysis from qualitative method in order to provide solutions and guide young people.  According to findings, when the changes and possible problems that adolescents aged between 12-15 go through are examined it is seen that their choice of books reflects their states. Interests shape in relation to the traits of development era. When young people’s choice of books and problems are compared, it is seen that such themes as pursuit of similarity, self-discovery, pursuit of role model, differences in socio-economical status, norm/normlessness conflict, test anxiety and realizing opposite sex are common. It is also seen that books related to step mother/father, addiction, neglect, child sexual abuse, change of location, death of a family member/ relatives, violence by family/acquaintances and physical appearance deficiencies are not in the list of choice. Considering the findings, it is possible to suggest the following points: Libraries and publishing firms should form a suggestion list of books by taking possible problems into consideration as well as young people’s interests and desires.]]></dcterms:abstract>
