    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Role Of Twin Deficit Problem In Sustainable Growth: An Econometric Analysis   For Turkey]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In economics literature the relationship between budget deficit and  current account deficit is known as twin deficits hypothesis. The Keynesian  Approach accepts a relationship between two deficits. In contrast to  this, icardian quivalence Hypothesis defends there is no relationship  between these two deficits. win deficits have become the subject of several  studies to test which of these hypotheses are reliable but no consensus has  been achieved. ome studies found a relationship from budget deficit to  current account deficit but some of them had the opposite result. specially  after 1980 it is known that many developed and developing countries  encountered with this twin deficits problem. urkey also has the problem  of twin deficits. Therefore, it is important to find whether there is 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 ointegration Analysis. This  study is based on period 1996:Q1-2011:Q4. According to results of cointegration;  variable coefficients are statistically significant and consistent  with what we expected in hypotheses. urrent account deficit ( A ) has  a significant negative effect on budget deficit (B ). When there is a 1%  increase in A , B 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 A to B and also coefficient is negative.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Social Anxiety and Usage of Online  Technological Communication Tools  among Adolescents]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[With the growing popularity of Internet communication among  adolescents, the Internet, social media, instant messaging and cell phones  have become important social tools in their life. This study examines teens’  use of social interactive technologies and the role that social anxiety plays on  how adolescents communicate with others (technology or face-to-face). A  questionnaire was designed and distributed to selected sample in the cities  of Afyonkarahisar, Manisa and şak in order to analyze the relationship  between adolescents’ social anxiety and their preference of communication  tool. The data were gathered from 544 respondents among High chool  adolescents (ranged from 15-18; freshman, sophomore, junior and senior).  indings show that adolescents rarely use messenger sites and mail addresses.  They generally send instant messages with their cell phones. They spend  1-2 hours for listening music and averagely 30 minutes for acebook in  a day. More than half of teens have hi-tech cell phones that enable to call,  send message and access to Internet. The findings of the present study also  reveal that females use text messaging more than males. However, males  spend much more time than females to play games. In addition, females  feel themselves more uncomfortable than males for face-to-face talking with  others. And, on the contrary to males, females also prefer to some extent,  to communicate with other on internet instead of face-to-face talking.  similarly, females prefer more than males to make new on internet.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This study analyzes unit root properties of total and sectorial energy  production and consumption series of urkey. This study is the first  to analyze unit root properties of urkish energy production and  consumption in detail. The unit root analysis of energy production  and consumption are tested by using unit root tests based on M  considering without structural break and with one and two structural  breaks. According to unit root test without structural break, the unit  root hypothesis is rejected only for consumption of natural gas. The unit  root hypothesis is rejected for 15 out of the 33 series by the test with  one structural break. When unit root test with two structural breaks are  conducted, 25 out of the 33 series are found to be stationary around a  deterministic trend. The production of hydraulic and the consumption  of lignite, electricity, petroleum, coal and electricity, total energy and  petroleum consumption in ransportation sector are found to be nonstationary,  which indicates that the impacts of innovations on these  variables will be permanent. The policy implication of the results suggests  that the impacts of shocks on energy consumption and production will be  temporary and not have a long memory for most of variables.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Contemporary, the competition in the markets has thoroughly heated  up. Many companies try to decrease their costs in order to survive in  this cruel market. In this respects, the quality costs gain importance in  all over the world and in Turkey, too.In this study, the implementation  of quality costs measuring and reporting system has been performed in  a company. Accordingly, the data has been collected from a urkish  manufacturing company. The data gathered from this company’s  accounting department has been used for studying on quality costs  measuring and reporting system. onsequently, it is found out that the  company cannot measure its quality costs adequately, for this reason  quality reporting system in the company is not efficient. The company  needs to give more significance to the quality costs measuring and  reporting.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The issue of whether public savings offset private savings, and visa vice,  has important implications for the effectiveness of fiscal policy. This study  examines long-run relationship between public and private savings rates using  annual urkish data for the period 1975-2005. The result of ngle-Granger  cointegration test has shown that there is no long-run relationship between  private and public savings ratios. However, once endogenously determined  structural break is allowed, the test results confirm the existence of the  cointegration relationship between private and public savings. conometric  estimation of the offset coefficients using both M and yields values  of between -0.11 and -0.82. The results also indicate that the potency of fiscal  policy significantly reduced with the liberalization of financial markets.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The most widely used model in multivariate analysis of survival  data is proportional hazards model proposed by ox. While it is easy  to get and interpret the results of the model, the basic assumption of  proportional hazards model is that independent variables assumed  to remain constant throughout the observation period. Model can  give biased results in cases which this assumption is violated. ne  of the methods used modelling the hazard ratio in the cases that the  proportional hazard assumption is not met is to add a time-dependent  variable showing the interaction between the predictor variable and  a parametric function of time. In this study, we investigate the factors  that affect the survival time of the firms and the time dependence of  these factors using ox regression considering time-varying variables.  The firm data comes from Business evelopment enters (İŞG M)  which is a prominent business incubation center operating in urkey.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The paper examines government expenditure on nomadic education in  igeria and the implications for achieving the M Gs. econdary data  were used and the data were analyzed with the aid of descriptive statistics.  The study revealed that government expenditure on nomadic education  in igeria over time has been on the increase which has necessitated the  increase in the number of nomadic schools and teachers in the country.  The study further found out that there is a wide gap between male and  female enrolments in nomadic schools in igeria; factors such as early  marriages and teenage pregnancies, cultural and religious biases as well  as economic issues were believed to be responsible for the gap. Also, it  was discovered that the total increase in nomads’ enrolments in nomadic  schools in the country is not proportionate with the increase in government  expenditure on nomadic education. The study attributed this low school  attendance by the nomads to the problems of under-funding, dearth of  teachers, constant migration of nomads, the involvement of the children  of nomads in the productive system, corruption, among others. The study  concluded that the present form of implementation of the nomadic  education would make it difficult for it to be a panacea for achieving the  M Gs in the country. ecommendations were made on how to improve  on the nomadic education system in the country.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[METAPHORS WE RULE BY: THE COGNITIVE DIMENSION OF THE POLITICAL LANGUAGE OF THE USA AND  BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[At the root of the American liberal-conservative political fracture lies language – particularly, figurative language with its richness of metaphorical expressions which strongly mark the global political communication. From Aristotle’s playing with the rhetoric, through Nietzsche’s definition of truth as “a mobile army of metaphors”, all the way to the Conceptual Metaphor Theory made popular by Lakoff and Johnson, metaphor has always been discovered as a powerful linguistic tool in the hands of the political elite.     In the modern political language of the United States one can distinguish very interesting and effective metaphorical models, such as POLITICS IS WAR, POLITICS IS A SHOW, NATION IS A LEADER, etc. Mental concepts which are part of a set of metaphorical models based on antonymy, and which are hidden behind two opposing approaches to morality (the “Strict Father” and “Nurturant Parent” models) reveal structural differences in conceptual metaphors used by American liberals and conservatives for decades. As the first total implementation of cognitive science to politics, “Lakoffian” research of public discourse connects topics such as different and opposing moral systems, discourse issues, metaphors of intimidation, coherent ideologies and their non-existence, etc. By masterfully replacing one conceptual domain with another, skillful speakers manage to form individual concepts of the voting body in their favor, gaining with it full support of the citizen majority and consequent political supremacy. In layman’s terms, conceptual metaphors help them shape the truth in the mind of the public according to the desired model. This is especially evident in the duality of American politics at the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century.      However, where in the domain of metaphor usage do the political currents in Bosnia and Herzegovina stand and what kind of mental concepts are behind their everyday interaction? By following the cognitive research of the American politics, this research tries to implement its discoveries on the modern political discourse in Bosnia and Herzegovina.]]></dcterms:abstract>
