    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In recent years, the central stage in tourism world is taken by sustainable  tourism development. One could say that there is nothing left to say about sustainable  tourism development since it has numerous conferences, textbooks and corporate policy  statements. However, there are only few examples of successful sustainable tourism  initiatives that inspire, mainly due to the failure of putting theory into practice. This study  underlines main approaches and practices for more sustainable tourism development  giving attention to environmental protection which can be with little willingness and effort  easily accomplished. Impact of tourism is huge, it is positive and negative how on natural  also on other environments, but it is manageable if the general policy and the aim is  sustainable development. Responsible planning, consensus building, holistic thinking,  encouraging good practices and regulation of negative impacts are just some of crucial  steps toward approaching more sustainable way of tourism development.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Interjections in English are very complex and confusing elements of the language  for EFL learners. However, EFL learners have to know enough number of them in order to  carry out daily conversations English with native speakers as well as nonnative speakers  properly. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine the awareness of Turkish EFL learners  of the use of interjections. To this end, 42 intermediate-level EFL students (10 males and 32  females) and 40 advanced students (9 males and 31 females) , attending to classes regularly at  Kafkas University, Kars, Turkey, were the subjects of the study. The participants were given  36 types of interjections wanted to identify which interjections they knew. The responses of  the subjects were assessed using SPSS 17 for windows. Descriptive statistics and Independent  t-test were used for the assessment of the results. According to the result of the study,  interjection “good ” was known by 75(97,5%) participants, “hello” by 75 (92,7%), and  “goodbye” was known by 69 (91,5%) participants. On the other hand, the least known  interjections were As for the lowest frequencies, they are “pshaw” 03 (3,6%), “alas”  3(3,6%) ,and “bah” 04 (4,8%). The results showed that there was no significant difference  between male and female students as well as between intermediate an advanced students in  knowing interjections.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[English abbreviations used on an international scale are of vital importance in the  daily usage of English not only speaking, but also in listening, reading and writing. In order to  be proficient in English, besides knowing the structures, vocabulary and other aspects of the  language, EFL learners should be equipped with standard uses of international abbreviations  such as WHO, ILO, and UN. To this end, 45 intermediate-level EFL students and 40 advanced  students, studying at Kafkas University, Turkey, were assigned as the subjects of the study.  The participants were given 20 most commonly used international English abbreviations in  written form and they were asked to write how much they know them. The results were  evaluated using SPSS 17 for windows. Descriptive statistics and Independent t-test were used  for the assessment of the results. According to the result of the study, USA UK ,and NATO  were known by the participants (100%) as they are encountered not only in the textbooks and  materials but also in the media, however the least known abbreviations were ECHR 0(0%),  RSVP 0(0%) and ILO 02(2,4%), respectively. The results showed that there was no significant  difference between male and female students as well as between intermediate an advanced  students (p&gt;0,05).]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In Turkish, because of the definitive role of the state, attitude of employers and  powerlessness of the working class, the employers do not effectively have a say. In the EU,  the employees participate their workplaces in various methods as a part of European Social  Model. However, in the reconstruction process in the EU, labour and its participation  methods remained local in the European scale despite the globalisation of capital especially  with the increase of activities and relationships of MNCs. At this point, to reduce the  differences arising from national applications and the effects of the process of  reconstruction, the Commission has created a number of directives in order to provide the  right to information and consultation of employees. These directives became important also  for Turkey as of membership negotiations. This article aims to examine the employee  participation in Turkey and indicate the possible effects of EU information and consultation  directives.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Meadow and pasture resources fulfill many important tasks, besides feature of  being a source of feed for livestock production. Being natural balance element, erosion  prevention, clean water, air and food production and protection of genetic resources of  many plant and livestock organism can be accepted among these.  Because of rapidly growing urbanization, industrialization and tourism, meadow and  pasture resources in the Mediterranean region have been polluted with different pollutants.  In this study, soil pollution research was done in pastures near intensive industry and  tourism region of Antalya. Concentration of Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn and Hg elements were  analyzed in 12 samples from 3 different pastures as 4 samples from each one.  Results showed us that the concentration of Ni was higher than the limits written in Turkey  Soil Pollution Control Regulation. The other concentrations are lower than the limits  written in Regulation. This study is a precursor study which shows the needs of other  detailed study.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Under increasing impacts of global warming, effective water use and using  minimum amounts of water for irrigation have become the most critical issues to be  considered in irrigated agriculture. In this research, effects of water stress on yield and  some quality parameters of broccoli were investigated. Three different growing periods  (early vegetative, late vegetative and flowering) and four different water deficit levels  (80%, 60%, 40% and 20%) were applied to Maraton F1 broccoli cultivar. Yield per  plant, total leaf area, total chlorophyll, total sugar content, and antioxidant activity have  been determined. While a yield of 667,84 g/plant was obtained from control treatment  with 100% irrigation without any water deficit, a yield of only 101,59 g/plant was  obtained from 20% irrigation treatment. However, a yield of 591,01 g/plant was  obtained from 80% irrigation treatment applied at early vegetative period.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Effective school development is a project which links school  effectiveness and school development. Research studies have shown that  obtaining positive results in effective school development depends on the  school’s strategy creation capacity (Leithwood, &amp; Hopkins, 2006).  Considering the fact that 21st century is uncertainty, risks and chaos; it will  be undertood better how important it is to develop strategies and for the  administration to undertake leadership roles. Therefore, it might be said that  the leadership required by the organisations of the third millenium is  strategic leadership. This current research aims at handling the dynamics of  effective school development within the framework of strategic leadership  and thus evaluating and analysing them.]]></dcterms:abstract>
