    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[DETERMINANTS OF CRIME RATE IN EU: A SPATIAL ANALYSIS]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[It is essential to ensure peace and security for sustainable development. In recent years, economic and social factors are closely associated with the amount of increased crime, and economic crises increase the amount of crime has become a widespread notion. The purpose of this study is to determine how social and economic factors affect the occurrence of crime, and investigate the effects of the crisis on crime rate.  Criminal investigations show that there is significant relation between crime and “place” of the crime. Crime rate shows different distribution characteristics, it decreases in some places, while increases in some places, hence; it is required a spatial perspective. Therefore, Techniques of Spatial Economic Analysis is used in this paper. The promise of using spatial data and analyses for crime control still remains to be demonstrated and depends on the nature of the relationship between crime and place. Theoretical concerns focus on how place might be a factor in crime, either by influencing or shaping the types and levels of criminal behavior by the people who frequent an area, or by attracting to an area people who already share similar criminal inclinations. While the crime rate in the model is the dependent variable, the net migration rate, unemployment rate, education level and per capita gross domestic product will be used as independent variables. Data covers the European Union countries and the year of data is 2010. The effect of these variables is observed to determine the amount of crime and whether or not it comes to a spatial effect is investigated. The relationship between migrations and crime is one of the problems on which for a long time now social research has been concentrating, mainly in countries characterized by important emigrational flows. This paper provides an empirical evaluation of whether one can uncover a link between crimes and, economic and social variables like unemployment rate, education level and per capita gross domestic product using a research methodology, additionally; impacts of last economic crisis on European Union countries are examined.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Keywords: Environment, Renewable Energy, Chernobyl Disaster  ABSTRACT  Since the Chernobyl disaster in the Black Sea region, it has been understood that environmental problems are not restricted to the countries of their origin. Research has shown that international attention given to the Mediterranean Sea has generated a more positive impact on environmental protection, as com-pared to that of the Black Sea. Industrialization around the Black Sea during the Cold War, a lack of international attention for long decades, and the region’s position since the Second World War as a crucial hub for the transport of the energy produced by Caucasian and Black Sea littoral countries to the energy consuming countries in Europe aggravated the environmental situation in the region. Pollutants created by chemical industries and oil leaking from tankers have caused a decrease in biological diversity. Thus, increased pollution in the sea en-tered the agendas of governmental and non-governmental international/regional organizations and individual states in the last two decades. Unfortunately, after the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union, the main priorities of the newly independent states included neither an increase of biological diver-sity nor a decrease in pollution. As the regional states put their efforts into competing in the international liberal market, they focused on increasing industrialization, trade and economic ties with the energy demanding countries. There are ten wind farms mainly on land clustered together in the west of the country and in the Aegean region, including in Çanakkale, close to the site of ancient Troy, Çeşme, Akhisar and on the island of Bozcaada. Wind powe in Turkey is gradually expanding in capacity. In 2006, 19 MW of wind power was installed, and in 2007, installed wind capacity increased to almost 140 MW. Turkey is set to double the amount of its electricity supplied by wind power with the construction of a wind farm in southeast Turkey which will have an installed capacity of 135 megawatts (MW) when it is completed in 2009. This very important project will use 52 of the latest generation of turbines from GE Energy, each rated at 2.5 MW. Installed wind power is expected to reach 808.81 MW by the end of 2008.Wind energy potential for Turkey is 58GW. The European Wind Energy Association stated that installed wind power capacity in Turkey at the end of 2009 was 801 MW. A total of 343 MW of capacity was installed in 2009. According to Official Transmission Reports, installed wind power capacity in Turkey at the end of 2010 has increased to 1265 MW. The installed capacity is specified as 1645,30 MW by October, 2011 by the same reports. At the end of 2012 there will be over 80 windfarms in Turkey. At the end of 2012 Turkey will have 2 GWs of installed capacity. The Turkish government has a target of a 20 times increase in wind capacity by 2020.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Keywords:Benthos, Offshore Energy, Biodiversity  ABSTRACT  In fact, there are two environmental processes of renewable energy, oil and gas companies must adhere to when trying to obtain permission for offshore exploration: a detailed assessment of the environmental area, called an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), which involves identifying potential threats and dangers to the natural nvironment and sea life, and a detailed plan of how to overcome any potential problems.  As investment programme in marine energy increases in this time, there are challenges for new advanced technology to assess and protect the potential damage to marine wildlife.The energy system takes a look at a new passive acoustic monitor, designed to not only improve our understanding of the danger to sea life, but also provide offshore developers with the means to avert unnecessary damage.  Development of research methods for  studying benthos in tidal rapids:  - routine characterisation of communities-biıdiversity  - to measure productivity  - input to ecosystem models  - Determination of functional response of  benthic organisms to energy changes  through substratum modifications.  - Habitat creation/modification/  enhancement potential  - Biogeochemical researches of insitu  nutrient dynamics/fluxes]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[MICROALGAE FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY: BIODIESEL PRODUCTION AND OTHER PRACTICES]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Keywords:Sustainable energy, biodiesel, algae, biomas.  ABSTRACT  Sustainable production of renewable energy is being frequently debated globally since it is increasingly understood that first generation biofuels, primarily produced from food crops and mostly oil seeds are limited in their ability to achieve targets for biofuel production, climate change mitigation and economic growth. Currently, biodiesel is made from a variety of feedstocks, including pure vegetable oils, waste cooking oils, and animal fat; however, the limited supply of these feedstocks impedes the further expansion of biodiesel production.  Microalgae have been recognized as potentially good sources for biofuel production because of their high oil content and rapid biomass production. In recent years, use of microalgae as an alternative biodiesel feedstock has gained renewed interest from researchers, entrepreneurs, and the general public. Food sourced feedstocks biodiesel concerns have increased the interest in developing second generation biofuels produced from non-food feedstocks such as microalgae, which potentially offer greatest opportunities in the longer term. Using algae as a feedstock for biodiesel has been considered for a number of years, but it has always had limitations, due mainly to the production methods used to grow and harvest the algae.  This paper reviews the current status of microalgae use for biodiesel production, including their cultivation, harvesting, and processing. The microalgae species most used for biodiesel production are presented and their main advantages described in comparison with other available biodiesel feedstocks. The various aspects associated with the design of microalgae production units are described, giving an overview of the current state of development of algae cultivation systems (photo-bioreactors and open ponds). Other potential applications and products from microalgae are also presented such as for biological sequestration of CO2, wastewater treatment, in human health, as food additive, and for aquaculture.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This study aims to deal with the ways of creating wealth by economic  activities, presenting experiences within Ottoman state tradition and a  role of Ottoman state during this period. In this context, the economic  power achieved by the state will be explained through examples of  practices.  The role of the state in the economy has been raised with the latest global  crisis and despite the historical expriences, this role has been started to  debate in the economics. In fact, the corrupted state concept should be  re-evaluated and re-established. Otherwise, re-evaluation of fundamental  issues such as market system or freedom of enterprise wouldn’t contribute  much to the solution of the problem]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This paper examines the impact of military expenditure and economic  growth on external debt for a panel of five selected AA countries  including Bangladesh, India, epal, Pakistan and rilanka, over the period  of 1988-2008. sing Pedroni’s (2004) test for panel cointegration, it was  found that there is a long-run relationship between external debt, economic  growth and military expenditure. The study finds that external debt is  elastic with respect to military expenditure in the long run and inelastic  in the short run. In the long run, 1% increase in military expenditure  increase external debt between 1.18 % and 1.24%, while 1% increases  in economic growth reduce external debt between 0.64% and 0.79%, by  employed and M estimator respectively. In the short run, 1%  increase in military expenditure increases external debt by 0.15%, while  1% increase in economic growth reduces external debt by 0.47 %.]]></dcterms:abstract>
