    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Factor of Beliefs About Language Learning in Bosnia and Herzegovina.]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Key words:Language learning beloefs; language learning strategies; motivation, attitude;personality  ABSTRACT  The aim of this paper is to study the factor of the Beliefs About Language Learning Inventory (BALLI) and to investigate a sample of 200 Bosnian remote high school EFL learners’ language learning beliefs, their learning strategies, and the relationship between learners’ beliefs and their use of strategies and compare them with the EFL learners in the downtown city schools. This study will also examine the influence of learning variables such as aptitude, attitudes, motivation, anxiety, personality on learner beliefs and strategies. Data will be collected by using questionnaire; the Beliefs about Language Learning Inventory (BALLI) by Elaine Horwitz, the University of Texas at Austin. The findings will help teachers to have some pedagogical implications to increase students’ level of motivation in an English language classroom. For example teachers can set goals for students in learning English, provide required materials regarding language learning, and inspire students to learn. These findings may also help students to improve their level of English and encourage them to study harder. Horwitz (1988) suggests that better understanding of students&#039; beliefs of language learning may allow language teachers to better understand students&#039; expectations and satisfactions with their language class. Once students are able to face their beliefs, they may understand their weakness and try to solve the problem.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Factors Determined To The Improvement In The Least Developed And Developing  Countries: Testing A Model]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Finding the different ways of the improvement as a multidimensional process causes  different improvement ways in all countries in the world. The economic improvement that  cause a structural changing is very important in all economies all over the world and it is  necessary for the least developed countries at the same time. These countries have solved the  phenomena of poverty, unemployment, low life standards and unimproved. The  differentiation in the socio-cultural structures of the least developed and developing countries  effect the improvement in a positive way.  In the study, the socio-economic factors of improvement and a classification according  to the gross national product levels per person in the least developed and developing countries  have been done by taking the definition accepted by World Bank into consideration. There are  fifteen countries in the classification of the least developed and developing countries. The  data of thirty-three factors in the comparison of these countries have been obtained from the  data source of World Bank, OECD, EUROSTAT and UN (2000 – 2009). The Statistical and Casual Models in the kinds of econometric models have been  estimated with ‘’Panel Model Method’’. For choosing the suitable model, the test for  choosing model ‘’Hausman’’ has been used. As a result, the factors determined to the  improvement of the countries in a different improvement levels have been discussed and the  comments related to them have been made.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Factors Which Caused the Decline  in the Amount of the Newly One Family  Houses Sold in US]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The new privately owned one-family house sold (C25) is recognized as  great indicator for economy. The monthly data indicates that 250.000  houses were sold in February 2011. Compared to 2006 when 1,061,000  were sold, we understand that the total number of houses sold decreased  by 76% in 2011. The purpose of this paper is to analyze factors that  determine the decline of number of C25 in US. The empirical results  indicate when the interest rate increases 1%, the number of new privately  owned one-family houses sold decreases by 20 thousand.When the  unemployment rate increases 1%, the number of new privately owned  one-family houses sold decreases 81 thousand, holding all other variables  constant. The results show a positive relationship may exist if rising home  prices increase the quantity demanded for housing. Income and house  sold have positive relationship but it’s not significant. For the population  variable, the coefficient is a negative number. The result of monthly  dummy test indicates that none of the months has significant effects. We  could be able to conclude that current mortgage rate is significant at 1%  level; mortgage rate at lag one time period is significant at 5% level; both  real personal incomes at lag one time period and unemployment rate at  lag two time period are significant at 10% level.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The new privately owned one-family house sold (C25) is recognized as great indicator for  economy. The monthly data in February 2011 was 250,000 houses sold. Compared to five  years ago, 1,061,000 in 2006 were decreased by 76%. What are the causes to the dramatic  decline of number of C25? The purpose of this paper is to analyze factors that determine the  decline of number of C25 in US. Therefore, in this study, dependent variable is the new  privately owned one-family house sold. Independent variables include 30 years mortgage rate,  real personal income, unemployment rate, population, and house price index. The results  indicate when the interest rate increases 1%, the number of new privately owned one-family  houses sold decreases by 20 thousand. When the unemployment rate increases 1%, the number of new privately owned one-family houses sold decreases 81 thousand, holding all  other variables constant. We thought when price goes up the demand should go down. But it  doesn’t fit in this study. Income and house sold have positive relationship but it’s not  significant. It shows that real personal income and unemployment have a high correlation. For  the population variable, the coefficient is a negative number. Even though the p-value  indicates that this result is not significant, we still couldn’t figure out the cause of this  negative relation. The result of monthly dummy test indicates that none of the months has  significant effects. However, from March to July the slopes of the months have positive or  lower negative effects. Consequently, it’s impossible to determine all the causes to the  number of new house sold since many factors are interrelated. However, through our series of  statistical tests, we could be able to conclude that current mortgage rate is significant at 1%  level; mortgage rate at lag one time period is significant at 5% level; both real personal  incomes at lag one time period and unemployment rate at lag two time period are significant  at 10% level.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Features and Challenges of Democratization Process in the Balkans]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This paper aims to analyze the consolidation of democracy in the Balkans, but mostly demonstrated in the case of Albania. The process of democratization in the Balkans has undergone a long path since the fall of the communist regime in the region. As a consequence the analysis of the democratization in the Balkans has remained vague and difficult to be framed. This research was conducted on bases of quantitative and qualitative researches. In terms of the qualitative research there were conducted nine interviews with people that are competent in this field (such as politicians, analysts, political scientist etc.). The interview consisted of 6 open-ended and fully structured questions. Furthermore these interviews were conducted via e-mail or face-to-face. Secondly, the quantitative study will be based on primary data that is taken from the reports of Freedom House and the Economist Intelligence Unit.   On basis of this study the democratization process can be understood through two main approaches: political and social approach. In terms of the political approach there should be considered the history of the Balkans (conflicts, wars and communist regimes). On the other hand there is the social approach related with the ill feelings transmitted from one generation to another, which indirectly affects the consolidation of democracy. Moreover in this article the process of democratization is analyzed also in terms of the external factors such as that EU or USA. In addition there is done also a short comparison, between Balkan states and other ex-communist states (such as: East European states, Czechoslovakia, Poland, etc.).   After assessing all the elements, the future of democratization process in the Balkans and especially in Albania gives space for being optimistic and pessimistic at the same time. While optimism is related with the fact that there is no other path to be followed except democratization, pessimism on the other hand is related with the will of the political class.  Key words: democratization, consolidation of democracy, the Balkans, challenges, features.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Feldstein–Horioka Puzzle across EU Members: A Panel Approach]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The degree of integration to the international capital markets is a crucial issue for the economic policy implementations in developing countries. A major determinant of the degree of international capital mobility is the saving-investment association.   One of the biggest problems of developing countries is the insufficiency of savings for financing their investments that is crucial for economic growth. This gap is financed by foreign capital in today’s global economies. It is generally believed that, the correlation between national savings and domestic investments becomes weak when there is high capital mobility between countries. The degree of capital mobility through the domestic saving-investment interaction is first analyzed by Feldstein and Horioka (1980).    Feldstein and Horioka (1980) used regression in the investment ratio against a constant and the saving ratio in a cross section of 16 industrialized countries, which are OECD members, over the period 1960-1974 and found that the coefficient on saving was in the range of 0.85-0.95. They interpreted this finding as indicating that 85-95 % of national savings was invested in the country of origin, which implied a rejection of perfect capital mobility.   The basic conclusion of Feldstein and Horioka’s analysis is that an increase in domestic saving has a substantial effect on the level of domestic investment. However, with perfect world capital mobility, there is little or no relation between the domestic investment in a country and the amount of savings generated in that country. This result was known in the literature as the Feldstein-Horioka Puzzle. Feldstein and Horioka (1980) argued that the relationship between domestic investment and domestic saving rates is related with the international capital mobility and thus caused the rise of a puzzle in the economic literature.    The purpose of this paper is to investigate the level of capital mobility in European Union members using the Feldstein–Horioka puzzle proposed by Feldstein and Horioka (1980) in order to investigate relations between saving and investment flows.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Findings upon the Designation of Turkish Words among Balkan  Languages]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The presence of the Turks in the geography of Balkans can be track back to  the centuries before Ottomans. The actual impact of the Turkish language and culture  began with the start of Ottoman conquests. With the Ottoman conquest, there have  been great changes on the structure of the Balkan communities. As a result of this  comprehensive and large impact, thousands of Turkish words entered into the  Balkanic Languages. The quantity of Turkish words, their effect of the Balkanic  Cultures and Languages have directed the researchers to search these words. The  researchers who investigated the Turkish words in the Balkanic Languages faced a  fundamental problem. The main problem that the researchers faced was the issue of  designation of these words in question. Due to the appearance of the words of Arabic  and Persian origin along with Turkish, some researchers have applied the term  ―Orientalism‖ for these words in question. Since the vast majority of words in the  Balkanic Languages are Turkish, the researchers, considering the fact that Arabic and  Persian words entered into the Balkanic Languages through Turkish, have preferred  the concept ―Turkism‖ for these words. Researchers, without making a detailed  evaluation on either ―Orientalism‖ or ―Turkism,‖ have stated their more general  preferences. However, the designation issue of these words, which have such effect  on the Balkanic Languages and their numbers getting closer to ten thousand in some  languages, requires a detailed analysis in order to formulate an opinion. The purpose  of this study is to evaluate the words in question in terms of grammatical, cultural and  historical process and to contribute to the issue of designating through Ottoman  institutions and community life. Within the scope of this study, the emphasis is given,  in addition to all the Balkanic Languages, on the Bosnian-Serbian-Croatian and  Albanian Languages where Turkish words are dominantly present.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Fishery Potential And Sustainable Aquaculture In Portugal]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In this research, the history of fishery sector and the current situation of fishery sector in  Portugal have been investigated, capture and development and potential of aquaculture sector  have been studied. Portugal is located in southwestern Europe and it is on the Iberian  Peninsula. Portugal has an important place with its total fishery production in Europe. In  1964, total fishery production which was 601.929 tonnes fell down to 207.058 tonnes in 2009.  The main reasons of this decrease in total production are sustainable production that cannot be  maintainet consistently, misuse of resources and difficult duration of adaptation and  adjustments to European Union Regulations. Nearly 97% of total fishery production is from  catching, whereas 3% is from farming. In this case it is clear that capture production is more  developed than aquaculture production. In 2009, capture production was 200.365 tonnes and  the most captured species are sardine, chub mackerel, Atlantic redfishes nei, Atlantic horse  mackerel.  Fish farming in Portugal, which started with rainbow trout production in 1965, has developed  rapidly by gilthead seabream and european seabass production and reached to 6.693 tonnes  per year according to 2009 data. According to 2008 data Portugal has 1392 fish farms and  they covered 1587 hectares. The main farmed species are grooved carpet shell, gilthead  seabream, turbot, pacific cupped oyster, european seabass and rainbow trout. Import and  export amounts of Portugal on fisferies are very high compared to Turkey. Portugal has great  potential about capture and especially aquaculture production. Thus Portugal has to improve  its aquaculture sector within sustainable productions and there must be proper management by  fish farms and governement to spread sustainability all over sector. In the future aquaculture  of Portugal will start to increase rapidly. Therefore Turkey has to improve the relations with  Portugal and they should collaborate closely.
