This analysis has been done  by using input-output tables which are constructed by goverment Statistical Institude. Turkey is  dependent to other countries as energy. To satisfy the development in Turkish economy is only  available by reducing the depandencies to the other countries by the energy. Also it should be  continued as the leading sector.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[According to the legend, the Schola salernitana was born by the casual  meeting of four physicians, symbolic characters, whose dynamics and values aim to  underline the confluence (in the civitas Hippocratica, cosmopolitan Mediterranean port,  ‗open‘ and ‗syncretic‘ as its nascent School) of different medical, and cultural more in  general, traditions: disembodied from their legendary traits, the four figures show how  peculiar, in that intercultural and interreligious dialogue (among the Jewish, Arabic,  Greek and Latin ones), is the role of languages and the importance of the work of  translation, in its first, and primary, etymological meaning of tra(ns)-ducere, ‗transport  from coast to coast‘.  The proposed contribution intends to frame the founding myth of the Schola Salerni in  the wider cultural background which was its host, contributor and supporter, highlighting  the modern, meaningful value of its everlasting message also for the contemporary world,  which is risking to lose sight of the main way of meeting, contact, exchange, dialogue for  welfare and peace.  The exemplum of the Schola medica Salernitana, a litmus test of a wider cultural and  linguitic debate (from the quite medieval research of the ‗language of God‘ to the  experiments of Frederick II), is emblematic of the absolute necessity of comparison in the  construction of civilization and knowledge, comparison primarily passing through  communication, and then, ultimately, on the linguistic field and activity of translation: the  figure and work of Constantine Africanus are perhaps, in the specific case, the most  significant examples.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The French Revolution and Rousseauism - Review of the Impact of Jean Jacques Rousseau’s Teaching to the Political Activities of French Revolutionaries (1789-1795)    Francuska revolucija i Rusoizam – osvrt na uticaj učenja Žan Žak Rusoa na političko djelovanje francuskih revolucionara (1789-1795)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The French Revolution was preceded by a long intellectual and ideological preparation that was significantly marked by works of Jean Jacques Rousseau, especially by his Social contract. Hence, the Rousseau is one of many french thinkers whose teachings influenced this epochal event and inspired french revolutionaries during the whole revolutionary period. It is considered that Rousseau announced the French revolution and was its guide. From Burke to Quinet and Taine, many in the French revolution recognized precisely his dominant influence. And they were right, especially if we take into consideration the widely accepted Francois Furet&#039;s opinion on how exactly the Revolution proclaimed itself the heir of Rousseau and that Rousseau&#039;s principle according to which no one can rule unless authorized by the people, gathered without differences, all the revolutionary currents. Taking into account his undoubted contribution and the fact that his political theory in general, and especially his concept of indivisible and inalienable popular sovereignty, despite certain internal contradictions, is the culmination and ultimate logical consequence of the pre-revolutionary bourgeois political thought, the author&#039;s intention in this work is to show how Rousseauism influenced the French revolution and the political activities of the revolutionary leaders.    Sažetak: Francuskoj revoluciji prethodila je duža intelektualna i ideološka priprema koju su u značajnoj mjeri obilježila djela Žan Žak Rusoa, posebice njegov Drušveni ugovor. Otuda je Ruso jedan od brojnih francuskih mislilaca čija su učenja uticala na ovaj epohalni događaj i koja su nadahnjivala francuske revolucionare u toku čitavog revolucionarnog perioda. Često se smatralo da je upravo Ruso najavio Francusku revoluciju i poslužio joj kao vodič. Od Berka, preko Kinea, pa do Tena, mnogi su u Francuskoj revoluciji prepoznali upravo njegov pretežan uticaj. I bili su u pravu, posebice ako se ima u vidu i široko prihvaćeno mišljenje Fransoa Firea o tome kako se upravo Revolucija proglasila Rusoovim baštinikom, te kako je Rusoov princip sukladno kojemu niko ne može da vlada ukoliko nije ovlašten od strane naroda, okupljao, bez razlike, sve revolucionarne struje. Uzimajući u obzir Rusoov nesumnjiv doprinos kao i činjenicu da je njegova politička teorija u cjelini, a posebice njegova koncepcija nedjeljive i neotuđive narodne suverenosti, uprkos pojedinim unutrašnjim suprotnostima, vrhunac i krajnja konsekvencija predrevolucionarne građanske političke misli, namjera je autorice da u radu prikaže uticaj rusoizma na Francusku revoluciju i na političko djelovanje revolucionarnih vođa.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The integration process of Macedonia and Albania in the European Union continues to be a strategic priority of the country&#039;s political and economic goals, around which there is full unity of political, economic and civil aspects in the countries that are the subject of this analysis. This process in the current period of economic and political transition in countries analyzed has gone through asymmetric trends recognized as a result of many factors which partially addressed these national economic policy-making and asymmetric economic shocks and political of internal and external factors.    The Maastricht Treaty on EU integration defined five basic criteria that countries must meet in the claiming process of full integration into the EU. From the requirements there are three criteria focus on monetary convergence and are associated with price stability, exchange rate stability and convergence of long-term interest rate. The other two criteria address the real convergence and fiscal deficit and public debt in relation to GDP.  The paper aims to provide answers to the question on which level are met the integration criteria in monetary and fiscal sphere of the aspirant countries Macedonia and Albania.    Keywords: European Union, Macedonia and Albania – candidate countries, Maastricht criteria, economic integration, monetary and fiscal convergence]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The Euro-Mediterranean Partnership, formerly known as the Barcelona Process,  was re-launched in 2008 as the Union for the Mediterranean at the Paris Summit for the  Mediterranean in July. The Partnership now includes all 27 member states of the European  Union, along with 16 partners across the Southern Mediterranean and the Middle East.  A Union for European with countries in the Mediterranean region seeks to promote  accelerated economic growth. The aim of re-launching is to infuse a new vitality and to raise  the political level of the strategic relationship between the EU and its southern neighbors. In  this context, six priority projects are also identified in this meeting. Main focus of the Union  for the Mediterranean is to deal with energy, security, counter-terrorism, immigration and  trade. Creation of a Euro-Mediterranean free-trade area will also impact on the environment  and agriculture in the region. This paper reviews the literature and statistically evaluates the  future of Union for Mediterranean in terms of regional cooperation.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Global Financial Crisis Of 2008 And Turkey]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The First World Economic Crisis that started in 1929 and rapidly influenced all  the countries around the world resulted in stagnation, common unemployment, increase in  foreign trade deficits and consequent decrease in the level of welfare. The policies initiated  in order to decrease and eventually delete these effects of the crisis could only give results  many years later. However, erasing the effects of the first crisis was not enough to put an  end to the world crises. In 1970 a new crisis bringing along worse results than the  previous, began. During this period of both inflation and stagnation, the results have been  more destructive. The third major crisis that affected the world economy deeply is, of  course, the Global Financial Crisis of 2008. This crisis has affected all the countries  around the world and its effects are still visible. In this respect, the Turkish Economy was  also influenced by this crisis. In this paper, firstly, economic crises were analyzed, and  then the global crises were evaluated from the perspective of Turkey.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In Turkey, there is an area of 465.913 hectares which is subject to wind  erosion. 103.000 hectares of this area is in the Karapınar district of Konya province.  The Karapınar district of Konya faced the risk of emigration in the 1960s because of  reasons such as that the region was an old lake bed and the climate of the region was  extremely hot, soil properties etc. The soils lost their yield capacity, the dunes rose,  clouds of dust and sand storms made life difficult for the people living in the area as  the result of erosion in that period. Because of these problems, the first studies started  in 1962. An area of 160.000 decares was taken under control. As the result of  approximately 47 years of improvement practice, which constitutes the topic of this  paper, today, activities aimed at research and production are also being maintained in  Karapınar.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Grouping Strategy in Metaphorical Vocabulary Comprehension ]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Metaphorical vocabulary of the English language is often problematic for EFL students both in receptive and productive skills. One possible way of overcoming this difficulty is conscious development of learning strategies, which aid comprehension and production and lead to the autonomy of students. In order to ascertain the repertoire of strategies that students use when coping with metaphorical meaning a research was conducted at the Department of English at the Faculty of Philosophy in Novi Sad. The research lasted for one year and was organized as follows: at the beginning of the academic year the students who participated in the research (experimental group, N=20; control group, N=20) took the first test which comprised a variety of exercises intended to elicit metaphorical thinking. This was followed by an interview with volunteers (N=10+10). After one semester, during which both the experimental and control group attended the same classes with the same syllabus, the only difference being the structured input presented to the experimental group, both groups took the second test and participated in the interview. After the second semester, organized in the same way as the first, the students took the third test and participated in the interview. The qualitative analysis of the interviews was aimed at ascertaining the scope of strategies students use when dealing with metaphors, so this paper focuses on one of the established strategies – grouping. This strategy is based on students’ ability to see the common denominator among different lexemes and phrases, which helps them identify the metaphor behind groups of words that, in turn, enables them both to understand the metaphorical meanings and to memorize them. The paper will demonstrate how, in time, the differences between the experimental and control groups grow larger and how, consequently, the development of strategic metaphorical competence results in students’ autonomy. ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This study explores the productivity of Taiwan’s freeway bus service (FBS) industry in response to competition from the Taiwan High-Speed Rail (THSR). We employ the Malmquist index to investigate the productivity of Taiwan’s FBS industry and apply the dynamic panel data (DPD) model to identify the factors influencing its productivity. The emergence of THSR initially worsened the total factor productivity of the FBS industry firstly and stimulated it in a longer time period. We also find that year 2007, sales and management expense, the total assets, and capital/asset ratio of an FBS company are the primary factors positively influencing the productivity. However, lagged 1 period Malmquist index service and service diversity reversely influence it significantly.  ]]></dcterms:abstract>
