    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Effect of Reading on Incidental Vocabulary Learning]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Key words: vocabulary acquisition, incidental learning, reading, vocabulary size, word frequency  ABSTRACT  A lot of studies have been carried out in order to determine the best ways of learning vocabulary. Some of them have focused on vocabulary acquisition through reading. This paper presents the results of a replication study using the text The Golden Fleece. The participants in this study were 94 university students in the first year of their undergraduate degree in English language and literature in the Republic of Macedonia. In order to determine the vocabulary gains from reading the text, the participants were tested before and after the treatment. The test contained 30 words which appeared with different frequency in the text. The results of the pre-test showed that the participants knew the meaning of 17.7 words. The post-test showed a learning gain of 3.9 words, or 31.9 % of the previously unknown words. The correlation between the relative gains and the vocabulary size of the participants was 0.51, while the correlation between the relative gain scores and the frequency of the words in the text was 0.30.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Effect Of Religion On The Process Of Sustainable Development Economy (In  Terms Of Thrift)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In this study, we have tried to emphasize that from the perspective of sustainable  development economy, the factor of religion affects communal incidents in our social life.Since religion, a need for a person, who is a member of a community, presents itself as a  reality of a society as well. Sustainable development aims at protecting and exploiting natural  resources in the most effective way. The concept of sustainable development put forward  with no hesitation entails its implementation in all societies throughout the world and requires  governments to take responsibilities for this matter. Sustainable development gives priority to  a person’s health, happiness and adaptation to his environment. It is out of question to  separate or isolate religion, one of the most prominent features of life forms, from the social,  cultural or economic dynamics of a community.  Our religion, Islam, which regards happiness of individuals and societies as essential in the  world and hereafter, sets rules to live our lives in harmony and in a well-balanced way. It also  orders us to sensibly spend what we have earned according to the limits of thrift. Everyone is  going to be asked to answer the questions of how he made a living, where and how he spent  it. While spending his money, he is required to take his needs, instead of his wills, into  consideration and not to spend too much or waste it by staying away from any extreme  expenditure. Apart from the warning against spending on the areas forbidden by the religion,  there is insistence on being thrifty and frugal.  Extravagance/waste is one of the most serious dangers that a sustainable development  economy can ever confront. Since as an outcome of waste, individuals and naturally  communities will start to lose all the facilities and things they have already possessed, and  face the challenges and deprivations ensued from their absence. They will turn out to be a  dependent population. Today, while people are starving in many parts of the world, it is hard  even to state the limits of the waste that some of us have caused.  We should not neglect that we can make use of our religion’s, Islam’s, orders and  prohibitions in order to stop waste and encourage to be frugal in the work process of  sustainable development economy. We have tried to explain in detail the hadiths, our  Prophet’s statements, and verses which are the essential references of our religion.  Keywords: Thrift, Religion, Verse, Hadith, Sustainable Development, Waste]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Effect of Tax Incentives on Regional Economic Development]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Tax incentives are exceptional applications which are used to encourage in a specified activity for a certain period. Today most of the countries have created tax incentive programs for many reasons but especially to attract regional economic development. Tax incentives can be used as a tax exemption or as a financial incentive. One of the significant outcomes of the tax incentives is that they reduce firm’s costs. Tax incentive programs are focused on the expectations of welfare gains such as the region’s level of employment and income. Another point of these expectations in terms of the state tax incentive programs can result from the loss of tax revenue and inefficient allocation of public goods. Although tax incentives have been used over the world since the 1980s, its utility in practice is a controversial issue in the academic literature. While some studies find an impact on economic development, some studies especially focusing on long term, find the opposite.     The aim of this paper is to investigate the effects of tax incentives as a device for providing regional economic development. Tax incentives have been undertaken as an economic development strategy in developing and developed countries over the past years. Based upon countries’ regional economic development experiences, particularly Turkey’s strategy about regional economic development has been evaluated. Although in the 1980s several attempts have been made about tax incentives, from the 1990s strategies which consist of using it as a tool of regional economic development, come into prominence. In 1 January 1999 Turkey has provided investment allowances which depend on location and type of investment, but its application results have not been as expected. To eliminate these failures and set up regional economic development through tax incentives, a new tax incentive program has been introduced in 4 June 2009. This paper particularly takes into account the effects of new investment incentive plan which effectuated in 1 January 2012 in Turkey. One of the main results of the study is that the use of tax incentives could be limited to the reinforcing of regional economic development.    Keywords: Regional development, Fiscal Instruments, Tax incentives, Incentives, Turkey.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The role of the media, in general, in the process of language learning is undeniable.  Turkish media, in particular, is extremely popular among Bosnian people. Various soap operas provided by Turkish media are enjoyed by a large number of people ranging from child to adult.  This research will serve for the analysing the effect of media (especially soap operas) for putting on the map of every societies and countries – especially Turkey. So , this research will conduct the question of how and in which way Bosnian people are affected by media, and if they are affected by Turkish soap operas how this condition reflects the way of their impress to the other societies. Additionally, the interview was made with the Turkish soap opera watchers while the essay was preparing. So, we can say that this essay is the work of the main area(Bosnia).]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Keywords: Surge tanks, pumped storage HE plant, Tom’s criteria, resistance coefficient, hydro engineering power, silencers, hydro power, Euler method.  ABSTRACT  For countries and regions enriched with water surfaces such as rivers and lakes, the cheapest source of power is water. Hydro power is called also “pure power” as it has minor pollution effects on the environment and health if compared with other types of power sources. Surge tanks have important role in the functionality of HE plant as they balance the pressure variation in cases of sudden rise or decrease. They are a massive construction that can receive the water in several cases. The cost of these tanks varies according to several factors such as dimensions, construction and maintaining works and shape. This paper aims to compare the cost of several shapes and types of surge tank in the case of Pumped storage HE plant Vrilo by fixing the needed outcomes such as the maximum and minimum level of water needed for producing the expected energy, the location of tank and the materials used for it. This paper will also give some advices about choosing the type, shape and dimension for surge tanks while designing them.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Effect Of Water Temperature On Spawning Out Of Season In Rainbow Trout, Oncorhynchus Mykiss]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Salmonid culture is a production sector with widespread throughout the world. Different  stocks of rainbow trout spawn in certain months of the year in hatcheries. This seasonality of  spawning imposes considerable constraints on trout farming because the consequent  restrictions on the supply of eggs and fry make it difficult for on-growing farm to maintain a  continuity of production of table-size fish throughout the year. Hatcheries should artificially  control the spawning time of their broodfish so that batches of eggs and fry might be  produced all year round. The modification of spawning time are possible using manipulation  of photoperiod. This series of studies were carried out in order to identify the effects of  varying water temperature on the ovulation of rainbow trout be exposed to photoperiodic  manipulation. This study was carried out in two different facilities. In the first facility, the  photoperiod regime was only consisted of constant short days (LD 6:18). The water  temperature had been changed between 7.5 and 15 °C during the the experiment in this  facility. In the second facility, it had been changed between 11 – 25.5 °C. The broodstock was  seperated into two different group. These photoperioded regims consist of constant short  days(LD 6:18) and altered photoperiod (LD 18:6 from February until May, then LD 12:12  from May until June, then LD 6:18 from June until November) which are acted to advanced  spawning. In both experiments, photoperiod regimes changed the maturation time regardless  of water temperature. However, when the water temperature is high, modulating effects of the  temperature on the maturation and ovulation time were observed. When the spawning time  modified to June – August, ovary growth and egg survival rate had been reduced by the  temperature effect ( &gt;14 °C). It was found that the egg quality decreased when the water  temperature was 17 °C although the eggs could been removed from the fish. Based on the these results, the role of water temperature in determining spawning time should take into  account, especially in conjunction with photoperiodic manipulation.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ADVERTISING IN SPORT VIDEO GAMES: A  COMPARISON BETWEEN SVG ADVERTISING AND TELEVISED  SPORTS ADVERTISING]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: In today’s competitive business, marketers are trying to find the most  effective way to promote their products and serviced, and reach a greater audience.  Since the introduction of the internet, marketing professionals have been using digital  advertisements more and more. It is easy, cheap and they can reach a huge population  which would be impossible to reach by other means. Another way to advertise  digitally is the gaming industry. This paper focuses on finding how effective this type of  advertising really is. In the first part of the paper, a brief introduction and an overview  of previous research on this topic will be presented. The following part focused on  investigating if participants who played a sports video game had a higher recall rate  and purchase intention of advertised products than participants watching a televised  football game. Evidence from the gathered data suggests that advertising via video  games is indeed more effective than televised gaming. Furthermore, different variables  like satisfaction level and gaming experience were tested in order to see if they had  an effect on increasing recall rate of gamers. Again, the evidence was sufficient to  conclude that these variables did increase the recall rate of advertisements in sports  video games. As such, this paper provides some justification to companies willing to  invest into marketing their products in video games, and are reassuring the companies  that already do.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Effectiveness of Conversation Course books in Developing Learners&#039; Pragmatic Comprehension]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The research examined an area of pragmatic competence that is rather underrepresented in the literature of interlanguage pragmatics: pragmatic comprehension. Pragmatic comprehension involves the inferential process of understanding what a speaker intends to accomplish by making utterances . The adopted theoretical framework of pragmatic processing included the comprehension of speech acts, in which the speaker tries to do something , conversational implicatures, in which the speaker expresses attitudes and feelings using indirect utterances that must be inferred by the hearer , speakers&#039; attitudes and registers which are variation of language differing according to the degree of formality, topic, activity, work, profession and mode under discussion ; and communication key that is the tone manner, or spirit in which a speech act is carried out and attitudinal- tone index which is a potentially finite set of continua, each one labeled with a pair of antonymous keys which are super ordinate to the other terms in that continua .   Although a growing body of second and foreign language (L2&amp; FL) research has examined learners&#039;   abilities to understand speaker’s implied intentions, most previous studies have been confined to speech acts without regarding speakers&#039; attitudes and degree of formality. The present study aimed to fill the gap by adopting a listening instrument that measures pragmatic and linguistic comprehension simultaneously. The instrument incorporated general comprehension questions along with the questions assessing comprehension of degree of formality and speaker’s attitudes. The learner’s pragmatic comprehension, operationalized as the ability to understand appropriate language and register, was compared across advanced students with different textbook backgrounds. Pearson correlation results indicate construct differences between linguistic and pragmatic comprehension.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[THE EFFECTIVENESS OF USING METAPHORS IN ESL TEACHING]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Metaphors have been widely used in novels, short stories, and poems. However, they have also proved extremely useful as teaching tools, and can be particularly helpful when teaching language. Teaching a new language is one of the hardest teaching jobs because it requires multiple skills at once. For instance, a language teacher should be knowledgeable about his/her topic, and be both patient and creative. Every teacher has his/her own method of delivering information to students; these can be straightforward out-ofthe-book methods, or more creative methods. I believe strongly in teaching creatively. So, I find metaphor use to be one of the most effective and creative ways of teaching a language. Since I started teaching English, I have been using a variety of metaphors that I draw from the culture of the students I am teaching. This paper will help other English teachers to use the metaphors I have developed to make English learning easier. This study will illustrate to what extent the metaphors I use in my classes are effective at helping me to deliver my lesson and achieve my class objective. I also will investigate how much students enjoyed these lessons. My study is based on the following:    1. I use metaphors, which I will be explaining in this paper, to deliver lessons that seem to be hard for my students to understand. I make it clear to students that I am using metaphors. 2. After introducing every metaphor throughout the fall semester of 2013, I observe my students’ performance to see how well they understood the lesson. 3. After delivering all the metaphors in class, I distribute a survey for students to answer regarding how these metaphors improved the lesson and their understanding of it.]]></dcterms:abstract>
