    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Concept and Development of the Civil Dialogue at EU  Level]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This paper analyzes the concept of civil dialogue as well as its development  in the EU level. Civil dialogue is an expression of participatory democracy;  therefore the participation of citizens in decision-making and policy is  essential to democracy. However, democracy becomes quite complicated  when discussing the issue at the European level because of the structure of  the European Union which is based on an ad-hoc approach. The other  reason for the increasing validity of the dialogue with citizens in the Union  should search for partial and troubling results of public opinion surveys  that show a low level of understanding of mechanisms of action of the  European institutions among citizens of the member states of EU. As  result, French and Dutch referenda on the Constitutional Treaty have  shown that there is a serious disconnection between citizens and policy  makers at the European level. Therefore, the role and contribution of CSOs  (especially NGOs) in the process of EU policy is extremely increased, in the  last decades. Civil dialogue between civil society and public institutions at  all levels is seen as a powerful tool that could help improve communication  and citizen participation in decisions and policies made. Still difference in  the level of development of the dialogue between the various EU  institutions and NGOs is directly related to the degree of their work. From  all EU institutions, European Commission has made the most progress in  formalizing and institutionalizing consultations and dialogue with NGOs.  Importance of growing engagement NGOs within the EU is indeed  evaluated, both in terms of the policy process, and as a contribution to  solving the democratic deficit through more participating forms of  participation. The aim of this paper is to review the current practice of the  civil dialogue at EU level through the analysis of several cases, and through  them deficiencies and problems of previous practices of dialogue between  the EU and NGOs will be shown.  Keywords: European Union, Civil Dialogue, Democratic Deficit,  Participatory Democracy, Ngos, European Commission.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The present contribution aims to a multilinguistic and multicultural  analysis of the concept of ‗embryo‘ both in Indo-European and Semitic  worlds.  The question about embryo‘s status is strictly linked to the present ethic and  medical scientific environments. Leaving out bioethical problems, this  contribution sketches the main features of the concept of embryo mostly from a  linguistic point of view and then tries to value some cultural consequences.  Starting with the presentation of the Garbhopaniṣ ad, an ancient Sanskrit text,  composed between the 7th and 4th centuries BC, that illustrated the  development of embryo from the fertilization and the very first weeks of  pregnancy to birth, through a representative selection of Greek and Latin  Authors who explicate embryo‘s nature, its features, its development and the  moment in which a foetus can be considered a human being (the exempla are  selected from both medical and philosophical classical texts), we close with a  few words about the ―embryo‖ in semitic languages and cultures.  The analysis is about linguistics (with a close terminological examination) and  cultural studies.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Concept of International Theme in the Works of Henry James and E. M. Forster]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[From Henry James, the central theme for the writers of Modernism is something which Peter Nicolas called ``shock of exile`` or cultural contrast. Starting his works with the idea of cultural contrast. Henry James made popular the international theme in literature, which would be followed successfully by many writers. Modernism is known as urban literal movement, but it was evident in that period many writers created outside of their native countries. Henry James and many writers of his generation their desires for something new, different from their own culture satisfied, having travelled across Europe. During the imperial expansion at the end of XIX century some writers such as Joseph Conrad, R. Kipling or E. M. Forster and many other writers, went outside of European borders, having written about cultures and civilizations completely different from European cultural heritage.     E. M. Forster his concept of international theme based on comparison of cultural  differences in Europe, but his creative interest was directed as well as toward eternal contrast between the Orient and the Occident. Modern texts registered new conscious about cultural heterogeneity which marked modern world.   Whether it is word about fiction or travelling literature of modernism, meeting with the other culture and at the same time changes of both structures of cultures in contact are unavoidable, which Henry James and E. M. Forster emphasized in their works.   ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Key words: Márai, Exile, Naples, Language, Diaries  ABSTRACT  The famous Hungarian writer Sándor Márai (1900-1989) spent, with his wife Lola and adopted son János, his first period of voluntary exile in Naples (Italy) between October 1948 and April 1952. The Diaries which Márai started to keep already in 1943 represent an interesting source to reconstruct his experiences and everyday life in the Mediterranean city only a few years after the war. Among others, he had to find a way to communicate with the local inhabitants for everyday purposes, he met outstanding exponents of the intellectual and cultural life of the city and he frequented the libraries and museums. Also in this new, ‘foreign’ context in a certain number of entries he continues to deal with the question of language(s) and with the role that the Hungarian language played in his life and he describes also the extremely slow creative process that lead to his poem Funeral Sermon. Thereby, in this paper I’ll concentrate on these specific passages to throw light on how the exile affected and shaped Márai’s concept of language.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[European Language Portfolio (ELP) recently created by the Council of Europe  not only has an important role in language education policy within Europe and the  expanding world, but also helps partners to describe the levels of proficiency req uired  by existing standards, tests and examinations in order to facilitate comparisons  between different systems of qualifications. Cambridge ESOL exams are aligned to  the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) published by the Council of  Europe. This study aims to investigate the contribution of Key English Test (KET)  from Cambridge ESOL exams to achievements of learners studying with the ELP in  reading skills. Firstly, twenty students were selected as the study group according to  the results of questionnaire which contains items of levels A2, B1 and B2 in the  CEFR. And then, self-assessment checklist in CEFR was conducted as pre-test and  post-test to cross-check the study group both at the beginning and at the end of the  fall term. Readings with materials prepared for the levels in CEFR were implemented  to the study group, and extra activities supporting KET were also applied during the  study. Besides, KET as a standardized test was also conducted as pre-test and posttest  both at the beginning and at the end of the study. Then obtained scores were  analyzed by using SPSS 15. T-test analysis of KET scores was computed, and no  significant difference was found out according to the gender. The results indicated that  ELP and KET were effective to improve reading skills of foreign language learners in  Turkey.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The world is increasingly becoming an urban place. Urbanization increases the  distance between people and natural space. Urban ecosystems differ from natural or rural  ones in many obvious ways. Green space is an important part of complex urban  ecosystems and provides significant ecosystem services. It benefits urban communities  environmentally, aesthetically, recreationally and economically. In order to improve the  environmental quality in cities and ensure its sustainability, it should be paid an attention  to the establishment of green areas.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Course of Change for Meeting the Global  Responsibility Challenges for Business]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[At present social, economic and political challenges are growing at a faster  pace and affecting businesses, especially in developing countries, more  than ever before. In the years to come, these challenges are expected to  increase further. To determine the shape of business in future, there must  be an identification of the forces that will shape the future. American  Society for Quality (ASQ) conducts future studies after every three years, in  which globalization and global responsibility have emerged as the top  ranking forces that will shape the future of business. Developing countries  exhibit a much lower understanding about both these forces, but they  have to recognize the importance of future requirements for the longer  term perspectives of business. This paper, taking into consideration the  ASQ future studies, aims at developing a strategic approach for turning  future challenges into opportunities and to meet the requirements of  future businesses. A model has been developed as charting the course of  change for developing countries by integrating the UN Global Compact  with the organizational system. The integration of UN Global Compact in  the proposed model finds its justification due to its initiative to spread the  benefits of economic development globally while sharing values and  principles for social responsibility. This model has been considered as the  most convenient route to meet the requirements of business in future.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Despite the voluminous amount of research on the Blind Owl, little is still  carried out on the representation of the natives in this work. This paper explores the text to  reveal how the author, by giving credit to himself as an ‗I‘, artist and a painter, tries to  establish a division between himself and the rest of the society, the world of Rajalehah,  the Rabbles. Through the employment of the new genre of writing, the novel, Hedayat not  only revolts against all the forms of traditional writings but also all the traditional customs  and at large makes use of it as a means of scattering his ideological concepts through the  mouth of the narrator. This discussion seeks to unveil the mask of orientalised system of  representation of the natives, as the peripheral, and finally the ‗Other‘.]]></dcterms:abstract>
