    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[An Empirical On Knowledge Sharing In Learning Organizations In Kutahya, Turkey]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Comunities today and in the future have to process, evaluate and internalize the information  more than past. Comunities and enterprises, which don&#039;t understand the environment, and are  unconscious about changes, and which don&#039;t read the world, are obliged to deteriorate, even  to die. Fiber speed and continious changes of present world, makes compulsory to learn  continiously and to educe information. Enterprises have to be open to continiously learning to  carry on their growth and development and they have to gain capability to share  knowledge.This paper undertakes to contribute to this search by addressing some  fundamental questions about the nature, domain, conceptual foundations, and practical  challenges of knowledge management and organizational learning. A positive relationship  has been found between continiously learning which are learner dimensions of organization,  dialog and research, team learning, sharing systems, empowered workers, connection  between the systems, sharing information of supportive leadership and openness of in-house  cognitive canals through the correlation and multiple regression analysis done in the result of  the research.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[EINSTEIN, has seen the future dream and information power, then performed his genius  by dreaming. To dream the aimed future and to focus on, to endeavour on targets, to build a  &#039;&#039;vision&#039;&#039; are the powers which a leader has to have. Visionary leadership is persuading the  communities and formuizing the targets. Enterprises today, can not brand , grown and carry  on without having a vision. In the organizations which aim continious development and  continious learning, it will be easier to carry the enterprise to the future and to show visionary  leadership qualifications if they achieve to become open to changes and should be in  interaction with the others and if they should be a living organization. At the end of the study,  by making a multiple regression analysis, a positive relationship has been found between  learning organisation dimensions; (continious learning, dialog and research, learning as a  team, sharing systems, empowered employees,connection between systems and supporting leadership) and visionary leadership dimensions(planning, visionary organizational  leadership, visionary creative leadership)  Keywords: Learning organizations, Vision, Visionary Leadership, Living Organism, Future.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[An Empirical Study of the Relationship between Financial Literacy and  Tolerance towards Financial Risk among Entrepreneurs in Bosnia and   Herzegovina (doi: 10.14706/icesos1713)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: The purpose of this study is to explain difference in tolerance towards financial risk among  entrepreneurs with different levels of financial literacy. Financial risk tolerance is the maximum amount of  uncertainty an entrepreneur is willing to accept when making a financial decision. On the other hand, and  according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), financial literacy can  be defined as a combination of awareness, knowledge, skill, attitude and behaviour necessary to make sound  financial decisions and ultimately achieve individual financial wellbeing. Therefore, the aim of the study is to  explain relationship between measured level of entrepreneurs’ financial literacy and their assessed tolerance  towards financial risk. This is a quantitative study, where we use a questionnaire to asses tolerance towards  financial risk and to measure the level of financial literacy. Also, we use non-probability sampling methods  where participants are recruited by e-mail. To gain better understanding of relationship between  entrepreneurs’ financial literacy and their assessed tolerance towards financial risk we use descriptive  statistics, chi-square, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. The results of this study are  expected to shed more light on understanding of relationship between entrepreneurs’ overall financial  literacy and their tolerance towards financial risk. Implications of this study suggest that entrepreneurs’  tolerance towards financial risk may be driven more by their financial attitude and behaviour rather than  their financial knowledge.    Key words: measurement of financial literacy, measuring tolerance towards financial risk, entrepreneurs]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[An Empirical Study on Organizational Infusion of Green An Empirical Study on Organizational Infusion of Green Practices in Chinese Logistics Companies    ]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[As environmental considerations have become a fundamental part of business strategies, there is a challenge for managers and academicians to explore the integration of environmental concepts and business operations. Although a number of studies on green practice adoption can be found in the literature, few of them analyzed the infusion of green practices in organizations. Furthermore, most prior research of green management focused on manufacturing sectors; scarce attention was paid on research in service sectors. This paper focuses on the green practice infusion in logistics companies because many logistics operations often lead to several environmental impacts. The main purpose of this paper is to explore the factors that affect organizational infusion of green practices in Chinese logistics companies. Drawing on the innovation diffusion theory, this paper groups the determinant factors into technological, organizational and environmental dimensions. We explored the influences of determinant factors on green practice infusion by conducting a questionnaire survey on logistics companies in China. The regression analysis is used to test proposed research hypotheses in the study Research findings reveal that complexity, compatibility and relative advantage of green practices, quality of human resources, organizational support, governmental support and regulatory pressure exhibit significantly influences on green practice infusion for the logistics companies in China. The influences of adoption cost, company size, environmental uncertainty and customer pressure on logistics companies’ green behavior are not significant. This paper can extend the scope of research on green management in service industries and green practice infusion.  ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This study aimed at examining the preferred vocabulary learning strategies of Turkish EFL learners and their beliefs about vocabulary learning. For this purpose, a descriptive study was carried out among 45 preparatory school students at Kastamonu University. The data were gathered with the administration of a Vocabulary Learning Strategies Questionnaire. The results of the descriptive statistics demonstrated that participants tend to use a variety of vocabulary learning strategies, and they reported to employ dictionary strategies the most frequently and guessing strategies the least frequently. Findings also showed that participants believe that words should be practiced, studied, and learned in context.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Olive mill wastewater (OMW) is produced seasonally by a large number  of small olive mills scattered in Mediterranean countries. It has a high environmental  impact because of the concentration of its pollutant content and the quantity of waste  water produced. OMW contains high amounts of organic, inorganic and polyphenols.  It affects the water and soil quality, is toxic to plant life, and create odor nuisance  when disposed into the environment. The main problem regarding the disposal of  OMW is to find an environmentally friendly and economically viable solution.  Among the various techniques proposed, biological treatment appears to be  convenient from the economic point of view. The biological treatment of OMW is  quite difficult since it contains many complex substances, mostly when more easily  degradable carbon source is present in the medium. Several biological treatment  systems have been examined for the treatment of OMW, resulting in considerable  organic load and toxicity abatement. The present work aims to provide an updated  review of the current biological methods used in OMW treatment.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[An Evaluation of Municipality Services in Sivas, Turkey through the lens of CSS scope]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[For quite a long time, municipalities in Turkey are offering a wide array of exceptional services such as art courses, dining &amp; drinking, health &amp; elderly care, cultural services etc. In this paper, through public administration and Turkish law, we take a look at basic missions of municipalities and then, move on for an evaluation of these exceptional services through corporate social responsibility perspective. Our work tries to answer the question whether these municipality actions can be considered as socially responsible management or not. Authors argue that, due to increased competition among political parties, municipalities are expanding their services beyond their mission stated in Turkish law.     We also visit the concept of corporate social responsibility in this paper and provide brief descriptions from existing literature. In the last section of the paper, we conduct a quantitative survey with the residents of Sivas city. By using this survey, we aim to understand how residents of Sivas evaluate –beyond mission- services of their municipality. Our survey includes questions and/or factors from European Union CSR initiative. We hope that results of this paper can open directions for further CSR and public administration research. With an emphasis on mission, responsibility and evaluation concepts, municipalities can review their stance and researchers can expand these empiric results for further knowledge creation.    Keywords: public, administration, municipality, corporate, social, responsibility.  ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[After 9/11 World Trade Center terror attacks a large scale operation was  conducted by US and its allies against Afghanistan. After the battle was  won some thought the main aim was achieved but as the time passed by it  was seen that destroying an authority and replacing nothing was not an  effective solution. The ISAF operation has become an impasse for the  NATO forces. The aim of this study is to discuss the role of Turkey in ISAF as  a peacekeeping force. Among the many participants of ISAF mission Turkey  has a significant role as the only NATO member with a Muslim majority.  Thanks to her shared values and past with Afghan people and the effective  strategy of Turkish armed forces Turkey has proved to be the most  successful peacekeeping force in Afghanistan.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Many studies on effective language teaching process draw attention to the  importance of teacher roles in this process, and give advice teachers to have prior  knowledge about what their students know before beginning the instruction. This study is  intended to draw an effective English language teacher profile by taking into consideration  first year students’ readiness levels and their experiences during their former education  periods. In order to fulfill this aim, 38 preparatory class students from Tourism Vocational  College Preparatory Programs, Erzincan University, were chosen at the beginning of 2009-  2010 academic year. Participants were asked to write a composition on the evaluation of  their prior language education experiences during their primary and high school years  giving examples from English teachers who they admired most or they were not satisfied  with. The analyses of the student compositions showed that some frequently experienced  problems negatively affect foreign language education process. The most common of the  problems were related to English teachers and English courses at schools as well as those  stemming from teaching environments and teacher characteristics in Turkey.]]></dcterms:abstract>
