    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Primjena konvencije o pravima osoba s invaliditetom u Hrvatskoj i Bosni i Hercegovini: Stvarnost ili utopija?]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Hrvatska i Bosna i Hercegovina ratificirale su Konvenciju Ujedinjenih naroda o pravima osoba s invaliditetom (u daljnjem tekstu: Konvencija), kojom se mijenja pristup zaštiti i položaju osoba s invaliditetom u međunarodnoj zajednici. U Konvenciji su sadržana načela i smjernice, koje se odnose na punu uključenost osoba s invaliditetom u društvo, njihovu ravnopravnost i nediskriminaciju, zaštitu od svakog oblika nasilja, kao i na zaštitu njihove autonomije volje.    Cilj rada jest analizirati skrbničku zaštitu i položaj osoba s invaliditetom u obiteljskopravnim odnosima te njihovo sudjelovanje u sudskim, upravnim i drugim (nedržavnim) postupcima u kojima se rješava o tim odnosima prema važećem hrvatskom i bosansko-hercegovačkom uređenju, uz upućivanje na osnovne zahtjeve Konvencije te prijedloge novog hrvatskog zakonodavstva na tom području.    U drugom dijelu rada, koji slijedi uvod, razmatraju se i uspoređuju važeća, hrvatska i bosansko-hercegovačka, rješenja u području skrbničke zaštite odraslih osoba, kao i njihov položaj u obiteljskopravnim odnosima. Potom se daje analiza položaja osoba s invaliditetom u sudskim, upravnim i drugim (nedržavnim) postupcima u kojim se raspravlja odnosno odlučuje o pravima i obvezama građanske naravi. Posebno se razmatraju odredbe o postupovnoj sposobnosti te zastupanju tih osoba u postupku.    U četvrtom dijelu ističu se najznačajnije intervencije prema prijedlogu novog hrvatskog zakonodavstva u području skrbničke zaštite odraslih osoba, kao i u njihov položaj u obiteljskopravnim odnosima. Zatim slijedi prikaz novog uređenja postupovnopravnog položaja osoba s invaliditetom u različitim sudskim, upravnim, ali i drugim (nedržavnim) postupcima u kojim se raspravlja odnosno odlučuje o pravima i obvezama građanske naravi. Zaključno, određuju se projekcije de lege ferenda u cilju potpunog usklađivanja hrvatskog zakonodavstva sa zahtjevima Konvencije, kao i moguće smjernice za očekivane reforme u Bosni i Hercegovini.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Ustavom Bosne i Hercegovine izvršena je podjela nadležnosti između države i entiteta. Koncept od kojeg polazi navedeni ustavno-pravni akt je enumeracija nadležnosti institucija Bosne i Hercegovine, uz presumpciju nadležnosti u korist entiteta. Time je oblast privatnopravnih odnosa dovedena pod jurisdikciju Republike Srpske, Federacije Bosne i Hercegovine, te Brčko Distrikta.    Imovinski odnosi bračnih partnera u Bosni i Hercegovini uređeni su Porodičnim zakonom Federacije Bosne i Hercegovine, Republike Srpske i Brčko Distrikta, koji u pogledu zakonskog imovinskog režima sadrže imperativna pravila. Različita rješenja u pogledu regulisanja bračne stečevine mogu dovesti do nepravednih odluka u sudskoj praksi, kao i do neprovođenja bračnih ugovora.    Imajući u vidu različito zakonsko normiranje karaktera bračne stečevine, autori ukazuju na mogućnost pojave interlokalnog sukoba zakona u situaciji kada je jedan privatnopravni odnos obilježen prisustvom međuentitetskog elementa, nakon čega predlažu i rješenja za prevazilaženje istog. Dodatni doprinos rada je eksplikacija odnosa između budućih komunitarnih kolizionih normi i domaćeg zakonodavstva u ovoj oblasti, što je posebno značajno imajući u vidu obaveze usklađivanja domaćeg prava sa acquis communautaire.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[FOLK HERITAGE AS THE SOURCE OF CREATIVITY AND WRITING IN CLAUDE MCKAY’S A L ON G W A Y F R OM H OM E]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This paper examines the connections between folk heritage and literary creation, between folk religion and writing. How have writers named or recognized folk tradition in relation to their own writing? At what point does the writer act as a conjurer who calls up and creates literature, who transforms reality through the magical power of words? I argue that Claude McKay not only writes about his folk heritage in legitimizing ways, he writes from it. McKay’s autobiography A Long Way From Home points towards a concept of creativity that grounds itself in a complex imagination that moves between syncretic sources. In his writings, he truly recognizes the potential of folk heritage as a source of writing and innovation. Negritude poets turned to folk religion as evidence of an essential African culture, and the Harlem Renaissance writers conceived of folk culture as an indicator of authentic, albeit unsophisticated, Negro creativity. McKay, however, stands out as a rare writer who portrays folk heritage as a sign of writing itself--a writer who uses folk heritage to undercut a concept of authentic, unitary origins. McKay’s representations of folk religion act as barometers of his reaction to the class biases and political hegemony of the leading writers of the Harlem Renaissance. McKay locates within folk heritage an originary site of black literature. While he does not inscribe folk religion in his autobiography to the same degree as do other Afro-American writers, he does use a secular language of folk religion to depict the creative process of writing.    Keywords: Claude McKay, folk heritage, creativity, writing, Afro-American literature.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[CULTURE, IDENTITY AND FOREIGN LANGUAGE  TEACHING AND LEARNING]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Language, culture and identity are essentially connected. But, it often happens that in foreign language classrooms teachers give little attention to the identity of the student. A student enters the classroom with his own identity and culture. When learning a foreign language, it is necessary for the student to learn and understand the culture of the foreign language, too. This is where the problem of culture and identity influencing teaching and learning foreign language arises. In general, students are representatives of the identity and culture of their first language and where they come from. In order for the student to learn the foreign language he must feel that he can express himself freely in the classroom. However, the students are likely to become confused when they are faced with the new culture of the foreign language. They now have to understand and adjust this to their sense of identity and their culture, and this can often lead to uncertainty. It can result in the student feeling unsure as to where they belong in the community.     The teacher needs to be aware of this issue and should include it to the method of teaching and resources used. The paper deals with the question of how process of teaching and learning a foreign language affects the students’ identity and sense of belonging to a community.    Keywords: foreign language, culture, identity]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[THE IMPORTANCE OF GESTURES IN ANALYSING ESL CLASSROOM DISCOURSE]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[When people speak, they usually accompany their speech with movements of hands and arms. It is believed that some of these hand movements (gesture) exhibit a meaning which is related to the verbal message. Although the nature of the relationship between gesture and speech is still not clear, we all acknowledge that teachers in general and ESL teachers in specific rely heavily on gesture to make the learning process more effective. Therefore considering the essence of gestures in classroom interaction completes the picture of classroom discourse.     The aim of this paper is to provide an example of the relationship between speech and gesture and how gestures play a crucial role in classroom interaction. Some extracts from ESL lesson were analysed with special focus on the use of gestures by the teacher and learners. The results indicate that in order to understand ESL classroom interaction we need to consider gestures in addition to speech. The study suggests some implications which might be beneficial when analysing ESL classroom discourse.    Keywords:  Gestures, Classroom interaction, ESL teaching, Conversation analysis.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Nexus between Tax Structure and Economic Growth in Nigeria: A Prognosis]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[One of the most commonly discussed issues in Economics is how tax rates relate to economic growth. An effective tax system ought to satisfy the twin purposes of raising maximum revenue as well as encourage production. In light of this, the paper examined the nexus between the Nigerian Tax System and economic growth using correlation method and Granger Causality to establish the relationship. The paper revealed that the tax system has no significant impact on growth because of the numerous challenges confronting the system. Further analysis of the components of the tax system shows that Custom Duties have more impact on economic growth than Company Income Tax, Value Added Tax and Petroleum Profit Tax. The paper also revealed a negative and insignificant relationship between Petroleum Profit Tax and Company Income Tax on the one hand, and between Petroleum Profit Tax and Value Added Tax on the other hand. Consequently, the paper recommended that the Nigerian tax system should be reformed so that it can have a significant impact on economic growth. Government should also embark on policies and programmes that will enhance the level of income of the citizens with a view to accelerating consumption, investment, employment, and tax revenue.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Innovation is being utilized as an important governance tool for improving government functions. The purpose of this research is to identify social innovation programs and initiatives in Seoul, South Korea, through a review of literature on social innovation and a case study of the Seoul Metropolitan Government (SMG). This research suggests that the SMG fosters social innovation through a variety of metropolitan examples and such innovation projects help to sustain metropolitan governance and develop partnership opportunities and collaboratives. This study contributes to the literature on social innovation in the public sector by looking at the motivations for innovation, the culture to facilitate innovation, collaboration as a tool for innovation, and finally how to sustain innovation. The study also emphasizes how collaboration with the civil society and the private sector helps to promote social innovation through creativity, leadership and sustainability. Other metropolitan governments can benefit from exploring the social innovations presented in this study because the examples demonstrate a way for government to become more effective and efficient by using innovation as a tool for governance.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Statistics of Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT) and World Bank (WB) imply that the foreign trade volume of Turkey with its major trade partners in the Balkans (Bulgaria, Greece and Romania) may have a positive effect on Turkey’s economy even under the circumstances of the recent financial crisis. In this respect, on the basis of Vector Error Correction (VEC) model, Granger causality analysis has been performed to make inferences about the consequences of a possible regional trade agreement of Turkey with Bulgaria, Greece and Romania on the real economic activity in Turkey. Thereby, it is aimed to determine whether it is reasonable for Turkey to make a regional trade agreement with Bulgaria, Greece and Romania. Empirical findings reveal that Turkish economy may benefit from a regional economic integration with these Balkan countries. ]]></dcterms:abstract>
