    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Practice Of Insurance In Turkey]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The main purpose of this study is explaining the development of insurance sector in Turkey.  There is no question of insurance before second period of nineteenth century in Turkey. In  Ottoman period, some trade unions were founded with the aim of providing assistance and  making restitution to people in various Anatolian villages. These trade unions helped  members in case of death and illness. Nevertheless, social characteristics, religious  environments and financial system of ottoman society prevented developments of insurance.  Resultant fire and it’s great damage in second period of nineteenth century reduced negative  judgment concerning insurance. First insurance firms were opened by English insurance  companies in 1872. Afterwards, corporations from France, Germany, Italy and Swiss followed its. Ottoman Generally Insurance Incorporation begun to serve as a first domestic  insurance company in 1893.  In the present day, types of insurance in Turkey are engineering insurances, healthy  insurances, accident insurances, fire insurances, mandatory earthquake insurances, life  insurances, agriculture insurances and transportation insurances. There are number of 59  insurances companies and a number of Reassurance Company which engaged in as of the date  of August 2011. Seven of them serve on healthy, sixteenth of them serve healthy/retirement  and thirty sixteenth of them serve on except for healthy.  Keywords: Insurance, Types of Insurance,]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Adapazarı Town is the management center of the Sakarya City and the biggest town of  Sakarya. Transportation in Adapazarı City is being provided by Municipality buses,  minibuses, shared taxi and special buses. This has been both caused a deepen conflict which  is hard to be manage and intensive traffic problem. There is an intensive competition among  the minibuses, shared taxi and special buses. This situation has been reflected to Municipality  buses negatively. Additionaly, all passenger vehicles have been working with idle capacity.  This means that there are lots of passenger vehicles which working with idle capacity and  uncomfortable .  We calculated these specialties of minibuses and shared taxies at this study at below;   Idle Capacities   All expenditures   Daily, monthly ann annual incomes   Daily circle number   Capacities at new model   All expenditure at new model   Daily, monthly ann annual incomes at new model  At our model, minibuses and shared taxies have been combined and have gotten active on  their new routes. At our model includes these profits;   The more relaxed traffic.   The more suitable and comfortable passenger tranportation.   The more profits level for minibuses and shared taxies.   The less and fasten routes  Keywords: Transporting, Optimum level, New Regulation, Optimum Capacity, Idle Capacity.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In 1970s and 1980s the concept of sustainability developed as a process of protection for the  elements that social, economic and eceological systems need. During the Environment and  Development Summit held in 1992, decisions were made about the works to protect and  improve the environmental sustainability with the help of objective policies. By revealing  sustainability specifically focuses on the social, economic and ecological target, Brountland  report states that meeting Socia-Economic needs is limited to the carrying capacity of ecosystem.  Environmental sustainability is divided into three categories. They are resource management,  energy management and product sustainability. While, solid waste and water conservation  compose the resource managament, energy managament includes energy conservation,  renewable energy, GHG emission reduction, energy sufficient. Finally, product sustainability  involves product transportation, supply chain audit, product stewardship and Life Cycle  Program.  In this context, environmental sustainability index and environmental performance index  were prepared by the universities of Yale and Colombia. With environmental sustainability  index, it is intented to reach perfection in the current and future environmental qualities of the  countries. This index, is a tool when aiming to be qualified and is an important mechanism  for testing the environmental performance. As for environmental performance index, it has  been developed by using result-oriented indicators. In this study, the countries whose performances enter the scope of the environmental  performance index were compared, 142 countries in 2002 and 146 countries in 2005 were  included in this index.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In this trial, five feeding programmes were used to investigate the optimum feeding process of  new-born guppy in five treatment groups. For the study, fish were fed Artemia(nauplii) for 4  weeks (4A), microparticulated feed for 4 weeks(4MF), 1week Artemia+ 3weeks  microparticulated feed (1A+3MF), 2weeks Artemia + 2weeks microparticulated feed  (2A+2MF) and 3weeks Artemia + 1week microparticulated feed (3A+1MF) in related  treatment groups. At the end of the study differences in weight, length, survival and stress  resistance of the fish were calculated. According to the measurements, the best average  growth of19.94±0.161 mm length and0.0732±0.00120 g weightwas observed in the group fed  4MF (p&lt;0.05), whilst the worst average growth of17.74±0.088 mm lengthand0.0425±0.00061  g weight was observed in the group fed 4A (p&lt;0.05).There were significant differences  (p&lt;0.05) in average lengths of18.93±0.038 mm, 18.27±0.055 mm, 17.97±0.025mm in the  groups fed 1A+3MF, 2A+2MF and 3A+1MF respectively. The weights did not show any  differencewith0.0594±0.00032g and 0.0576±0.00026g between the groups 1A+3MF,  2A+2MF (p&gt;0.05),while the group 3A+1MF showed different live weight of  0.0490±0.00041g (p&lt;0.05) according to other treatment groups. The worst survival rates with  %88.14±0.74 has been obtained (p&lt;0.05) in the group fed 4MF while the survival rates has  been determined %97.78±0.00 in the group fed 3A+1MF, %97.04±0.74 in the group fed 4A  and in the group fed 2A+2MF, %91.85±0.74 in the group fed 1A+3MF respectively. There  were no significant differences between the groups fed 4A, 2A+2MF, 3A+1MF (p&gt;0.05)  while the groups 4MF and 1A+3MF showed significant differences (p&lt;0.05). According to  these results, the diet 4MF and 1A+3MF are not enough for a better aquaculture of new-born  guppy. Therefore, it is found in the trial that Artemia supply for the first 2 weeks after birth in  guppy are necessary for better survival and stress resistance.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[European Union Membership Process Of Turkey; Its Pros And Cons For Turkey]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The membership process of Turkey has been carried out since 1959 when Turkey first applied  to join what was then called the European Economic Community. This process had profound  influence on Turkey in many fields such as economy, social life, international policy,  education etc.  The first agreement signed between Turkey and European Union was “Ankara Agreement”  which took place in 12 September 1963. This agreement envisaged establishment of customs  union, which is aimed at integration of Turkey and European Economic Community in three  main phases. Following this agreement additional protocols were signed. The year 1987 was  another turning point for the process that Turkey applied for full membership on this date.  Besides the developments in 1987, in 2004 Turkey realized an important step on the way to  becoming a full member. In 2004 European Union Member States decided that negotiations  with Turkey could be initiated. The negotiations are still carried out. All of the agreements  and protocols in the process required Turkey perform new policies which affect the society in  many fields.  The question of how this process has affected Turkey, which is asked by many, is still one of  the most questioned issues of Turkey. It is obvious that 53 years-old process has had a lot of  advantages and disadvantages for Turkey. To see the main pros and cons clearly, the issue  must be analyzed under three main subtitles; economy, social life and policy.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In the present study, structural characterization of iron aluminide coated AISI 4140 steel by  thermo-reactive deposition technique (TRD) in the powder mixture consisting of pure aluminum, ammonium chloride and alumina at the temperatures of 700°C, 800°C and 900ºC  for 1-5 h were investigated. The coated samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction,  scanning electron microscope and micro-hardness tests. Iron aluminide layer formed on the  AISI 4140 steel was smooth, compact and homogeneous. The phases formed in the coating  layer deposited on the surface of the steel substrates are Fe2Al5, FeAl2, AlN and Al2O3. The  depth of the iron aluminide layer ranged from 37.56±3.46 μm to 280.38±21.58 μm, depending  on treatment temperature and time. The higher the treatment temperature and time the thicker  the coating layer observed. The hardness of the iron aluminide layer was ranged from 952.4 to  1003.2 HV0.005.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[An Assessment on Evolution of Regional Development Concept]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Associating the terms, knowledge, innovation and learning, with development is not a  new process. The innovation as the primary source of competitive advantage in capitalist  economies had been postulated firstly in Marx and Schumpeter’s ideas. But in parallel with  evolution process of development theories and studies, addressing the concepts on regional  level and within the framework of sustainability is a new process. It is seen apparently that  interest in “region” concept has a considerable place in development studies from the early  1990s. Now regions are seen as opened identitites and are exposured to the effects of  international competition directly. Right at this point, the development efforts of lagging  regions by “cut and copy” transfer practice of the development models and policy  instruments of advanced regions have lost their meanings. Prior development models which  used to focus on physical infrastructure and capital endowment have been replaced with  internal models emphasizing the accumulation of intellectual capital and intangible assets.  Key source of competitive advantage is defined as the capacities of regions to support learning and innovation processes. To achieve and sustain the competitive development on  regional level, such models and instruments are required that, they will consider the unique  features and differences of regions, built on the peculiarities of different regions, , not general  but customized and bottom up participatory, have ability to constitute exploitable advantages.  In accordance with the saying, “think globally, act locally”; the concept of sustainability  also shifted from its global understanding to such an understanding which is fed from local  and regional applications.When a region starts to develop, region’s sustainability must be  examined. An ecological deficit which may emerge, should also affect the neighbour  developed regions inevitably. So regional development should not be thought independent  from sustainability. At this point, two concepts come to the scene; “regional sustainable  development” and “sustainable regional development”. The difference is that, for “regional  sustainable development” enviromental objectives and targets are in the forefront, while  economic goals have priority in “sustainable regional development”. But in the second one,  to maintain the sustainability of regional development, some enviromental precautions and  policies are considered too.  This study aims to offer critics of recent studies and provide some inferences to possible  directions for further research by examining the studies, particularly the ones which  reconsider the innovation, knowledge and regional development relation in framework of  sustainability. In the study, firstly the conditions will be underlined which led the emergence  of “the new regional development approach”, focusing on the local dynamics as driving  forces of regional development. And then, in relation to evolving debates about sustainability  and regional development, the forefront concepts- like “learning regions”, “innovative  milieux”, regional networks- will be held within its intellectual context and clarified how they  are situated and conceptualized in empirical studies. In this context, new development models  and the internal drivers of regional development should be revealed. And finally the reached  findings will be examined in terms of common goals for sustainable development and some  inferences for further research will be offered.
