    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Importance of Prefixes in Foreign Language Teaching and Learning]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Key words: verb prefixes, language semantics, language acquisition, verb valency, language teaching  ABSTRACT  The aim of this paper is to examine associations between the general meaning of the verb prefix and the meaning of verb it is attached to in order to help foreign language learners to build their vocabulary easier and faster. To achieve this goal, the specific semantics of verb prefixes in Croatian has been extracted and captured. The statistics of derivational characteristics for 20 productive prefixes in Croatian was collected. Also, all meanings of 20 prefixes were thoroughly analyzed, the properties of the base verbs and prefixed verbs were compared and the group model of verbs sharing the same meaning of the prefix was built. The statistics show that the prefix with the largest set of meanings in Croatian is za- (in, at, down) with 20 different meanings, while the average number of meanings per prefix is 11.  We proved that the process of prefixation establishes connection between different base verbs that start to share the same semantic feature due to the prefix attached. This connection became obvious in the valency frames of these verbs, since prefixed verbs tend to share the valency frames, regardless of the valency frame of the base verb. We discovered that derived prefixed verbs can be treated as hyponyms of base verbs if they do not differ significantly with regard to the meaning.  Finally, the syntacto-semantic connections between base verbs and derived prefixed verbs were revealed and modelled as rules which contribute to the foreign language learning and teaching of Croatian language. Rules are modelled to help foreign language learners guess the meaning of new prefixed verbs while reading and to help them use dictionaries better, recognizing common verb prefixes and their meanings. These rules can also enable them to acquire the syntactic complexity of the morphologically rich language, such as Croatian, Bosnian or Serbian.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Importance of Public Investments in Regional Development: An Example of Gap in Turkey]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Developed countries can perform better growth with their economic possibilities and they can minimize the imbalances among regions. However, this is not applied to developing and least developed countries. The most important problem of developing countries such as Turkey is insufficiency of sustainable development. Thus, this has led to imbalanced development between regions.    Today, one of the major problems of Turkey is inter-regional inequalities in developments. These inequalities also bring social, political and cultural problems with them. South-eastern Anatolia Project (GAP) aimed a multi-sector, integrated and sustainable and regional development. It is aimed to raise the income levels and living standards of people in the region with the help of GAP, and as a result to abolish the inequalities between this region and other regions. Development program of the project covers irrigation, hydropower, energy, agriculture, rural and urban infrastructure, forestry, and education and health sectors. GAP is funded by public investments and its total cost is 32 billion U.S. dollars.     In this study, the effect of public investment on regional development will be discussed by the light of Turkey South-eastern Anatolia Project (GAP). The analysis of macroeconomic data (economic growth, unemployment, export etc.) will help us to observe the contribution of the GAP to the reconstruction of this region and the economy of Turkey in this context.    Keywords: Public Investment, Regional Development, South-eastern Anatolia Project (GAP)]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Importance of SMEs in Developing  Economies]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The economy of the 20th and 21st century has a different set of rules than Smith‘s  economy of the 19th century. The new ideology of neo-liberalism and globalization  emphasizes the role of SMEs as promoters of a healthy business climate, economic efficiency  and power for economic development, especially in developing countries. Today, instead of  large-scale industries, SMEs having gained importance in the developing economies, become  advantageous being economic enterprises having the capability of quick adaptation, working  with less capital but more intense labor and having low cost of management and thus having  cheap production. Although SMEs have some weaknesses, they are less affected from  economic crises due to its flexibility and abilities which keep up with changed conditions.  SMEs are vital actors for enhancing innovation, competitiveness, entrepreneurship and the  establishment of an effective innovation system for developing countries. Therefore, in this  study the importance of SMEs for developing countries is considered. First, the regulations  related to SME definition and EU‘s SME definitions are mentioned. In the second section, the  advantages and disadvantages of SMEs are considered. Then, the importance of SMEs in the  economies is discussed by groups of countries with the help of various indicators. Finally, the  importance of SMEs in developing countries is discussed.]]></dcterms:abstract>

This short review article investigates economic, political and legal aspects of the above mentioned policy, placed within a deeper context of the integration priorities of Member States in the past 40 years. Moreover, the aim of the article is to theoretically examine the developmental consistency of the European education policy by suggesting actual reasons for such cause of action. Special consideration will be given to the extent in which the EU policy of education conflicts with the concept of harmonization of law.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Universities are one of the main elements of current notion of development since they are the  institutions that produce the knowledge. They also hold a significant position in social and  economic development in addition to their conventional roles of education and research. In  this sense, they are expected to support sustainable development on local, regional and  national basis through conducting research in cooperation with industrial establishments.  Because producing professionals of the future is an important activity related to  sustainability. In terms of sustainable development, intellectual capital and strategic  management are two essentials to create a vision for the future.  In the study, Süleyman Demirel University, which started in a small town in 1976 with only  40 students and has expanded to 50,000 students today, was discussed in terms of its  developmental influence on Isparta and its surroundings. The implementations of intellectual  capital and strategic management that originated this development were described as a model.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Importance of Teaching Culture in the Foreign Language Classroom]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This paper is concerned with the importance of teaching culture in a foreign language class. Linguists have long recognized that the forms and uses of a given language reflect the cultural values of the society in which the language is spoken. This means language learners need to be aware, for example, of the culturally appropriate ways to address people, express gratitude, make requests etc. Effective commutation is not just a matter of language proficiency, it is also about being able to understand other people and language alone is not enough for this. Language is a tool which reflects the life of the people from the culture that it was born from and thus learning the target language alone is not enough to communicate effectively. Communication is not the ability to speak the language but to understand the other person and since language is a tool that  reflects the culture ( life style, ideas etc.) of the speaker  in the communication proses, learning the culture is as important as learning the language itself when it comes to understanding each other. Since each language was born to meet the needs of the society that it was born from knowing that societies culture is necessary to fully master that language.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Importance of Time in Virginia Woolf&#039;s Mrs Dalloway]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Key words: Virginia Woolf, Mrs Dalloway, characters, writing style, themes  ABSTRACT  Adeline Virginia Woolf was an English writer and one of the foremost modernist of the twentieth century. One of her famous novels is Mrs. Dalloway. Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway, published in 1925, was a bestseller both in Britain and the United States. The action of Mrs. Dalloway takes place during a single day in June 1923 in London, England. This unusual organizational strategy creates a special problem for the novelist: how to craft characters deep enough to be realistic while treating only one day in their lives. Virginia Woolf’s novel Mrs. Dalloway has a specific style of writing, the novelist is not using the first person. Mrs. Dalloway is written in the third person omniscient by an anonymous narrator who knows everything about everyone, down to their innermost thoughts. Woolf perfected in this novel is a style of narration that literary critics have called “represented thoughts and speech”, capturing the motions of a mind thinking in the past tense, third person. A narrator presents characters thoughts and speech and there is no way to separate the narrator from the character in this novel. Another techinque that Virginia Woolf employs to develop the story of the novel is her treatment of time. Apparently, the time of action is only a single day in the lives of Clarissa Dalloway and other characters. In the course of a single day they lived their whole lives, and the readers get to know everything about them. In this novel, the past lives of the characters are not narrated in chronological order, rather they emerge gradually, in fragments, as memories. In this novel, the line between past and present is blurred. The transition from present to past and back into present requires but just a single moment. The book is composed of movements from one character to another, or of movements from the internal thoughts of one character to the internal thoughts of another.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[THE IMPORTANCE OF VALUE ATTITUDES  IN SOLVING INTERCULTURAL CONFLICTS]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Contemporary world is complicated and we face many difficult problems that sometimes can turn into conflicts that have to be solved. As S. L. Dolan (2011) claims, these problems are: environmental pollution, human alienation, unemployment, crimes, drug addiction, disintegration of the family, mistreatment of the elderly, unequal distribution of wealth, food, educational opportunities, and many more. These challenges cause chaos and disturb the established senses of values across cultures. Some Lithuanian researchers (Aramavičiūtė, 2005) also maintain a view that such chaos has a vast influence on psychological condition of people as they loose the sense and meaning of life, which has a negative impact on their intra and inter-relations.The documents of the EU also highlight the need for educational institutions to promote social cohesion, intercultural dialogue, diversity and equality. The development of personal and social skills and respect for human dignity and shared values are considered to be essential in resolution of intercultural problems.     The article is based on the research into the cognitive-notional component of value attitudes of the students of management and foreign languages. The criteria were the acknowledgement of the importance of values and the depth of understanding of the meaning of values. The conclusion is made that students have to be prepared to understand the world, its cultural variety and values,  think critically, make a stand against the injustice and only then there can be a hope for life without prejudice, violence and contempt. Therefore, educational institutions have a huge and essential responsibility in this respect (Popovici, 2006).      Keywords: value attitudes, acknowledgment of the importance, depth of understanding, moral values, intercultural competence.]]></dcterms:abstract>
