    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Influence of Proficiency Level and Skill Modality on Prospective and Retrospective Test Score Estimates of EFL Students]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In this paper, we aim to present the results of a descriptive study investagiting the metacognitive awareness levels of students in a Turkish EFL context. More specifically, we report the effect of two variables,  proficiency level and language skills, on students’ prospective and retrospective test score estimates. At the end of every eight weeks, students are given a level test which includes two stages. The first stage is a 100-item multiple choice test measuring students’ receptive skills. The second includes writing and speaking tests measuring students’ productive skills. In the present study, prior to the administration of each test component  (receptive, written and spoken) students studying at four different levels (from A1 to B2) were asked to predict the grade they thought they would get by circling one of five grade ranges (below 60, 60-69, 70-79, 80-89, 90-100) . The same procedure was repeated retrospectively. The paper ends with the discussion of the results and implications of metacognitive awareness for second language acquisition efficacy.   ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Keywords:Solar cells, GaAs, GaInP, degradation, radiation defects.  ABSTRACT  The use of a solar cell in space requires the knowledge of its behaviour under high-energy partial radiation.This radiation in space produces defects in semiconductor that cause a reduction in solar cell power output. In this paper we present the method for predicting the behaviour of a solar cell for satellite applications. Modeling has been performed for several types of GaAs and GaInP single cells and results are compared with experimental data obtained for electron and proton irradiations.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Influence of Word Etymology Knowledge on Learning of Borrowings]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Key words: etymology, vocabulary, learning, borrowings, students  ABSTRACT  Nowadays English is the first language of more than 350 million people all around the world. The immense diversity of English speakers is connected with the great diversity of English words. When we talk about origins of English words, even about the most frequent ones, we see that English vocabulary is a mixture of many different languages. English is a language of borrowings so in most cases that cause many difficulties for EFL learners. Therefore, the history and roots of English language are very important parts of English language learning. Some etymologies are totally unexpected and therefore much more complicated for memorizing. Of course not only borrowing is a process of introducing the new words into English language. When learning new vocabulary, EFL students have many obstacles and are always in a process of searching for the new techniques and methods of memorizing and usage of newly introduced words. This work is about how much word etymology knowledge can help EFL students to memorize and use borrowings. Research is conducted at the Department of Philology, International University of Novi Pazar.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Informal Economy in Albania: Concepts, Approaches and Policy Considerations]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Informality or informal economy and development is a clue problem that is broadly discussed as it is caused by various factors such as: rapid economical and political changes, inadequate planning and housing policy, out-of date legislation and public structures, etc. This situation has created important challenges in many cities, especially post-communist ones in Sothern and Eastern Europe. The comparison of Western Countries and economies with the Third World or developing ones has always brought interesting and paradoxical situations. They have the house but not the title of it, De Soto explains.   This study presents a typology of informal settlements, reviews the traditional policies and presents the emerging trends in legislations and regulations in Albania. The three most discussed approaches to informal economy are briefly analyzed in this study. Based on the theory of developing countries as Albania is, the methodology of the study is based on analytical approach together with the official data of Albania gathered from official sites for statistics as INSTAT and ALUIZNI of Albania. Furthermore, it provides an in-depth economical analysis on the challenges associated with this phenomenon, demonstrating the complexity of the situation and the need for a sensitive solution. The costs of the approaches, as well as the advantages or disadvantages of them, areidentifiedbased on the Albanian situation.   The conclusion of this study leads to the third most important approach, which is legalization, being as the most efficient for the Albanian informality situation and the continuing of the country development. Therefore most of the developingcountries are working on the same approach by developing the legislation and practicing it.   Keywords: Informality, Legislation, Albania.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Culture and cultural differences are being important in the globalized business  world and the public administration day by day. Moreover, the competition  level has increased recently. In accordence with the philosoply of globalization  the whole world is a common market. As a result cultural differences and  unethical behaivours can be observed.  Machiavellianism mostly emerges in an enviroment of intense competition and  It is considered as a type of mobbing which aims to manipulate the people into  serving for the benefit of power. In this study, the relationship between  Hofstede’s cultural differences, mobbing and Machiavellianism is discussed.  Globalization periot has converted national firms to international firms. As a  result of globalization It has been a new issue of the world that the struggle of  different cultures to live together and generate common values. To solve this  problem it is needed to develop a different perspective. If the cultural  differences are not approved, people tend to dominate the other cultures with  their own culture, which is called as ‘Cultural Myopy’.  This situation may lead up arising of unhealthy of unhealty network of relation  and comminication between the cultures and as a censequence increasing  mobbing. Also culturel differences reflect on cultures and climate of  organizations. The cultural differences in organizations must be well manage,  otherwise comminication disorders. This problem may come along and this  could cause pressure of management.  Keywords: Cultural Differences, Machiavellianism, Mobbing.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Interconnection and Interrelation Features of Words and Their Importance in Compiling Second Language Dictionaries]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In the process of teaching language the most important task is to know the peculiarities of interconnection of words. And one of the effective factors of learning and teaching Uzbek as a second language is to conduct specific research on interconnection and interrelation features of words and to compose special dictionaries of the Uzbek language for Russian-speaking students. Meanwhile, the issue of interconnection and interrelation peculiarities of words has been investigated not only by many linguists but by some psychologists as well.One of those prominent psychological scientists is N.I.Jinkinn. According to him, the integration of speech units is divided into two phases. He also relates “the grammar field” with the second phase of speech-unitintegration. Furthermore, he points out that in the first phase of this process, words and word forms are spread out in the “speech field”. In the second phase a speaker selects the necessary words for the primary explanation of the idea,which is followed by the correct grammar form, and then collocates with a suitable word [1,45]. For instance, according to N.I.Jinkinn,a noun, an adjective and an adverb do not usually collocate with other words. They are called as lexics, which are spread in the “vocabulary field” but divided into characteristic groups.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The intercultural education emphasizes a social reality within which a  paradigm is assumed by a certain community. In this way, the social responsibilities  relate to a strategic pragmatism of an educational nature. Moreover, the architectonics  of the epistemology of the intercultural education legitimizes the existence of  axiological structures found within the social policies. There are significant from this  point of view the different intercultural modalities &quot;responsible&quot; for the concretization  of a value hierarchy in a social system. Therefore, the comprehension of an  intercultural dimension of the social reality reminds of a rational substantiation of the  axiological structures through which the epistemological connections acquire meaning  and significance.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Key words: social self-esteem, intercultural sensitivity, intercultural competence  ABSTRACT  The Subject of this study is to examine the intercultural sensitivity and social self-esteem in a sample of adolescent, third and fourth grade students of the International School of Sarajevo. The Instruments will consist of The Social Self-Esteem Inventory (Lawson et al., 1979) and The Intercultural Sensitivity Scale (Chen i Starosta, 2000). The results have shown a positive correlation between these two variables, and statistically significant correlation between social self-esteem with all facets of intercultural sensitivity. The female students reported higher scores in social self-esteem and are greater in intercultural sensitivity than male students. There were no statistically significant differences in these variables between the students of the third and the fourth grade, furthermore the effect of gender or class was not determined. The female students have higher scores in performance on all five aspects of intercultural sensitivity, also third grade students have higher average scores than those from the fourth grade on three facets of this variable (the other two are equal). Pedagogical implications of intercultural communication training and increasing social self-esteem have also been discussed.]]></dcterms:abstract>
