    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This paper analyses aspects of the problem that occurs in the social  evaluation of investment projects for indigenous communities’ Wixarikas  (Huichols). A project in this context make particularly complex the  evaluation. On the socio-economic perspective with which it is evaluated  comes into play the incommensurability of social and intercultural issues  that cannot be ignored. It is addressed the questions that have arisen in  the development of this type of project and presents a theoretical  framework for the methodological proposal of socio-cultural evaluation.  Keywords: Social Evaluation of Investment Projects, Socio-Intercultural  Evaluation, Indigenous Communities, Wixarikas.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Socio-Cultural Influence on Cooperative Foreign Language Learning]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Cooperative learning focuses on the interaction with peers in a learning environment. So, most important factor that affects learning is socio-cultural situation of learners that plays a role in learning. Some students are timid due to their piety while others are too extravert. Some students are not willing to interact because of their ideological differences while others behave more pragmatic. Socio-cultural differences are therefore quite important in the application of cooperative learning theory in the class. Sociocultural approaches emphasize the interdependence of social and individual processes in the construction of knowledge. Socio-cultural approach, theorized by Vygotsky, which is the fact that all learning takes place as a result of social interaction, giving rise to the concept of “social constructivism”, is actually a new concept in cooperative learning strategy. Socio-cultural approach supports collaboration as the means that would prove to be the catalyst to help the meta-conceptions mature into learned concepts. The aim of this study is to contribute to the research on cooperative learning in foreign language classes by investigating the social relations of Turkish students in the foreign language classroom. We examined the socio-cultural influence on cooperative learning in foreign language learning process from socio-culturalist perspective and tried to find out if there was any cultural and gender effect on cooperative language learning in the classroom at the university.  ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Socıal Anxıety And Usage Of Onlıne Technologıcal Communıcatıon Tools Among  Adolescents]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[With the growing popularity of Internet communication applications among adolescents, the  Internet, online social sites, instant messaging and cell phones have become an important  social tool for their development. For adolescents who perceive low friendship quality,  Internet use for communication purposes predicted less depression, whereas Internet use for  non-communication purposes predicted more depression and more social anxiety. This study  examined teens’ use of social interactive technologies and the role that social anxiety plays  on how adolescents communicate with others (technology or face-to-face). The questionnaire  was prepared to apply in Afyonkarahisar, Manisa and Uşak cities in order to measure any  relationship between social anxiety and choise of communication options among adolescents.  Questionnaire datas were gathered from High School adolescents (ranged from 15-18;  freshman, sophomore, junior and senior) included 544. Adolescents almost don’t use  messanger sites and mail address. They generally use instant message with their cell phones.  They spend 1-2 hours for a day by listening music and avarage 30 minutes during the day by  using Facebook. More than half of teens have cell phones that able to call, message and  access to Internet. The findings of the current study found that females are using text  messaging more than males. However, males are playing games for a long time than females.  In addition, females are feeling more uncomfortable talking with others face-to-face than  males. And, females also prefer talking with some on computer instead of talking face-to-face  than males. Similarly, females prefer making new friends with someone on computer more  than males.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Dil, kültür ve tarihimizin hazineleri olan Türkçe yazma eserler, yurt içi ve  dışında birçok kütüphane bulunmaktadır. Bunlardan birçoğu incelenmiş olsa  bile bazıları hala bilinmemekte ve gün ışığına çıkmayı beklemektedir. Bu  eserlerden biri de Arnavutluk Milli Kütüphanesi Dr. 7. D. 19 numarada kayıtlı  olan Sofracı Divanı’dır. Eserin Uşşaki tarikatına bağlı Sofracı mahlaslı biri  tarafından yazıldığı anlaşılmakla beraber, Sofracı’nın kim olduğu hakkında  herhangi bir bilgi yoktur. İçindeki şiirlerden Sofracı’nın Uşşaki olduğu ve  Uşşaki şeyhi Cemâleddin Uşşâkî (ö. 1750) döneminde ya da ondan sonra  yaşadığı anlaşılmaktadır. Şiirlerinde sade bir dil kullanan şair dini tasavvufi  şiirler yazmıştır. Bu çalışmamızda Sofracı Divanı’nın nüsha tanıtımı ve  içindeki şiirler hakkında bilgi verilecektir. Kaynaklarda adı veya mahlası  zikredilmeyen Sofracı’nın bu çalışmamız ile edebiyat dünyasında bir  değerlendirmeye tabi tutulacağına inanıyoruz.  SOFRACI’S DİVAN AND ITS DESCRIPTION  Keywords: Sofracı’s Divan, Uşşakî, manuscripts, copy.  ABSTRACT  Turkish manuscripts are treasures of our language, culture and history. These  works are found at many libraries in Turkey and abroad. Many of them have  been studied even though some of them still wait to be known. One of these  works is Sofracı’s Divan. This book was registered at Dr. 7. D. 19 number at  the National Library of Albania. Sofracı who is a member of Uşşaki Cult  wrote this work. There is no information about him in his book or in any other  sources. According to his poems, Sofracı lived during sheikh JamaluddinUşşâkî (d. 1750) period or after him. He used plain language in his poems and  wrote religious mystical poems. In this study, we will present Sofracı’s Divan  and will give information about the content of the book. We belive that our  study will contribute to the literary by introducing Sofracı’s Divan to the  world.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[SOFTWARE ASSISTING TEACHING STAFF IN TESTING PROCEDURES USING RFID TECHNOLOGY]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Manual attendance taking during academic examinations and lectures tends to be a time-consuming and error-prone process, especially when it comes to a large amount of inputs at the same time. This senior design project addresses the need for a more efficient method of monitoring student attendance during lectures and exams. To tackle this issue, this project proposes a software-assisted system that uses RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology integrated with an Arduino microcontroller. Each student already has their unique student identification card that has an integrated RFID chip. With the given software, it can be scanned upon entering the examination room or a classroom. The scanned data is immediately transmitted to a Ruby on Rails based web application that logs attendance records  in real time. This system supports secure authentication, timestamped logs and intuitive administrative interface for educators to monitor attendance activity, enhances transparency in the testing process, strengthens exam policy enforcement and ensures that attendance data is accessible in a digital format.. The project combines low-cost hardware components such as RFID readers and Arduino boards, with robust web development practices. Arduino hardware acts as the physical interface for RFID scanning, while the backend web application performs data processing, storage and visualization.<br />

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In the last decade, the usage of renewable energy is on the rise, and that trend will only continue because technology is becoming more developed, so renewable energy sources are going to offer more for the same price. Besides all positive properties, there<br />
are also some negatives like direct dependence on the weather conditions. That means energy production is constantly changing, so it must be as precisely as possible predicted to be usable on a large scale. Fifteen attributes were analyzed using M5 regression tree.<br />
High positive degree of correlation was found between participle water and dew point temperature, air temperature with dew point, air temperature with precipitation of water, snow depth with Albedo daily, zenith angle with relative humidity, GHI with Air temperature. It was found that the zenith angle, between the normal of the Earth’s surface and the Sun, was the most important feature of the dataset for solar irradiation prediction.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The role of the insurance sector has grown tremendously in the last twenty years, thus increasing the need for unification of rules for supervising the activities of insurance companies. In response to the increasing complexity of the financial services market, the European Commission drafted the Solvency II project, which will be implemented on 1 January 2016. For all the advantages that brings to insurance companies, for the insurance sector and the economy in general, the implementation of Solvency II is binding unless necessary. This paper summarizes the factors that make the necessary amendment of the directive Solvency I and a brief description of the most important elements of Solvency II directive: structure with three pillars of Solvency II and economic methods for calculating risk-based capital required. A program of Solvency II managed and delegated properly, will provide real competitive advantage for insurance companies.    Keywords: Solvency II, insurance sector, economic methods, advantages.  ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Teaching language to the foreigners is a field requiring professionality in all aspects in our days. The studies done in the field have focused on the language teaching methods overall rather than the general traits of the language aimed to teach. The language to be taught in terms of the learner&#039;s profile, learning materials, motivation and age groups, methodologies applied, location, how and to whom it will be taught is totally another field of study.  In this paper, Nasreddin Hodja&#039;s jokes will be studied in terms of their place and importance in Turkish language teaching especially in Bosnia and Herzegovina which still survive from far past to our day within the verbal folk tradition in Anatolia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Some Learning Gaps in the Suitcase of a Croatian Student of English as He Packs before Going of to College]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Key words: learning gap, secondary education, written work, error treatment, MTI  ABSTRACT Upon closing the chapter of their secondary education and entering the academic world, a vast majority of Croatian students whether freshmen or senior need fresh challenges to help them to realise how much they know, and to make their passive knowledge active, together with a steady input of new language. In the established practice of using Google translation tools when asked to write an essay or a book report, it is not uncommon for a Croatian student of English to make it all the way to college without having his or her writing thoroughly scrutinized and used for successful error treatment. The research presented in this paper attepmts to outline some of the most common learning gaps acquired through secondary school curricula that tend to accompany Croatian students in college English courses. Based on the analysis of guided written assignments done by a group of 25 students of the Music and Theatre Arts Department of the Arts Academy in Split, Croatia, the research identifies recurring patterns in the substitution of the Croatian present tense for the English Present Perfect structure, omission of articles in noun and adjective phrases, mistakes arising out of the contrastive analysis of the two languages having word-by-word translation and MTI as its immediate side effects, trouble forming irregular plural of nouns as well as the difficulty understanding the difference between countable and uncountable nouns. Although the development of such patterns might be explained by Dulay and Burt&#039;s claim that the majority of errors made by L2 learners are specific to that L2, the presented analysis sees them as being caused by ill-treatment of students&#039; mother tongue interference during high school years.]]></dcterms:abstract>
