    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The link between deposit insurance  And banks’ risk taking]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Deposit insurance is an insurance system that guarantees bank deposits of people in case of  bank failure or a run on the bank. The system is first introduced in 1933 for Turkey and taken  its final form with regulations in 2004. Deposit insurance in Turkey is handled by Savings  Deposit Fund Insurance and according to the latest regulations compensation limit covers a  maximum of 50,000 TL per depositor per member institution. Deposit insurance system  which is adopted in most countries has various advantages for both individuals and banks.  However academic debates commonly focus on whether this system encourages banks to take  excessive risk. In this context the purpose of this study is to analyze the link between deposit  insurance and bank risk taking. For this purpose, a panel regression analysis is applied to the  ratio of deposits under insurance to total deposits and basic risk measures of banks operating  in Turkey during 2004-2010.  Keywords: Deposit insurance, bank risk taking, panel data regression.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The meaning and use of phrasal verbs at C1 level]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Despite the fact that phrasal verbs are used in everyday English, foreign learners avoid learning and using them for their complexity and impossibility to understand the meaning of a phrasal verb from its separate parts (a verb itself and a particle separately).  As a result of that many learners at C1 level, although being fluent speakers, experience various difficulties using them. The focus of the paper is placed on the meaning and the use of phrasal verbs and the difficulties which students find at C1 level of the English language. The analysis in this paper is based on the phrasal verbs used in the book “Objective CAE” (O`Dell &amp; Broadhead, 2008, Cambridge University Press).   In this paper we are also interested in finding out why it is so difficult to understand and use phrasal verbs, the interaction between their meaning and understanding considering their polysemоus features. The results of this analysis may be useful for all ESL teachers to help them understand the difficulties their students face when dealing with phrasal verbs, especially at C1 level. Furthermore, it can be a valuable source for teachers how to introduce the phrasal verbs to their students and thus help them master phrasal verbs in both spoken and written discourse.    Keywords: phrasal verb, meaning, use, difficulty, English.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[THE METONYMS AND DEAF CHILDREN]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Language is an abstract system of symbols, which is concretely realized by  way of speech, writing and signing.  Difficulties in speech and communication in deaf children cause problems in their social,  emotional and cognitive development. Deaf children show inadequate results on semantic  tests due to their inadequate knowledge of the language, the level of concreteness and  underdeveloped linguistic associations.  These problems can be for the most part overcome with the adoption of sign language.  The aim of our study was to evaluate the meanings of certain words and their association  by deaf children, attending grades six to eight-24 students; as well as to establish the  development of the category of metonym words. We also wanted to examine the strength  of the relationship between the knowledge of sign language and the level of knowledge of  this category of words, if one existed at all.  The study incorporated a segment of the Semantic Test by S. Vladisavljevic. Pupils were  given 20 words-notions (snail, gold, snake, deer, flower, drop, fair, fox, rock and rabbit)  and it was requested of them to give all possible meanings for those words.  A qualitative and quantitative analysis was completed of the obtained linguistic material.  The obtained results showed a partial influence of the pupil‘s age and the level of  knowledge of metonyms. Also, it was observed that better knowledge of sign language  affects the results of the deaf pupils, i.e. they had better speech and understanding of word  meanings.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Microfinance Tale: Bright and Dark Side of the Narrative]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In the years following the ‘Great Recession’ the microfinance institutions gained great attention and earned various attributes summed up as being a very “attractive” root of financing developing nations’ wide. According to the saying that arriving at an end forces as inevitably to think about the beginning, imposes also the rewind of the ‘Microfinance tale’. The story traces back to the deepest convictions of Muhammad Yunus, a Bangladeshi banker, that the right to get a loan should be classified as one of the basic human rights, and his contribution to the poverty reduction challenge through the establishment of Grameen bank (the bank for poor) in 1976. Today, when we all are witnesses that his idea was pretty sustainable and are tirelessly discussing about the greatest innovation of the last century, there is a necessity to draw a parallel in between the initial idea and its realization, and inspect to what extent are they consistent, and whether they match at all?     The microcredit as a modest but in comparison to bank loans relatively fast way of obtaining financial support in order to fill the “gaps in your budget” in short-terms, or to start your own small enterprise as a more permanent solution to ample unemployment, flourished in Bosnia and Herzegovina very fast. It seems that Bosnia and Herzegovina was a very fertile ground for implementation of the microfinance project, since it flourished relatively fast and MFIs in Bosnia and Herzegovina in relatively short period of time became quite financially sustainable. Relatively scarce is the list of fields that emphasize simultaneously economic and social performance intensively as the microfinance sector does (Tulchin, 2003); the social performance of a MFI is nothing else than the ‘truth in advertising’ (Hashemi, 2007). As things look nowadays, most of the MFIs ‘turned back’ from their original mission of providing financial support for small entrepreneurs, thus profit goals have overcame the social considerably. This article attempts to draw a parallel and define the reasons why the initial idea of fighting the poverty through providing microcredit brought dark reality of making the poor even poorer.  Keywords: MFIs/MCOs, microcredit, poverty-debt, developing, SMEs, Bosnia and Herzegovina  *This proceeding is part of an ongoing research supported by Fatih University, Istanbul, Turkey.  ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Monetisation of Assets through Concession and Applicability in the Sector of Energy in Bosnia and Herzegovina]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Financial effects of monetisation through concession in the sector of energy in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) may well increase the level of domestic investments, production, exports, employment and general economic growth, without additional higher borrowings and loss of ownership in these strategically important industries. These new financial opportunities are necessary for faster economic development of the country, especially in the transitional period, as this development process is a great challenge in modern world economy. It requires significant commitment and coordinated efforts of the public and private sector.  The case study of Terminal Kakanj Power Plant (KPP) presented in this paper show that it is possible to implement monetization of assets through concession in the energy sector in BiH.  The empirical results provide evidence of positive correlations between monetisation through concession process and economic development in BiHor other transition and development countries.       Key words: monetization, concession, development, financial effects, energy sector.  JEL classification: O–Economic Development]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Motifs of Gothicism in The Secret Agent by Joseph Conrad]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Key words: horror, violence, provocation, darkness, urban, murder, bombing  ABSTRACT  The stereotype utilization of a fear-causing beast in dark abyss teams up with Gothicism in a general sense. The ever-articulated elements of black horror are claimed to be transformed into the dynamics and requirements of modern life. Claimed to have a critical eye on traditional Gothicism, Joseph Conrad appears to be provocative for the re-analysis of gothic tendencies in his novels. If the objective of horror fiction stipulates the involvement of dangerous and gloomy imprisonment of a victim, we can well also expect such darkness injected into a ‘spy novel’ like The Secret Agent (1907). In fact, contrary to the trend, Conrad experiments on a unique debate with the gothic tradition educating readers about the optimistically and unprecedentedly endorsed elements of Gothicism in The Secret Agent. This paper, thus, deals with the motifs of Gothicism such as darkness, silence, domesticity, psychological violence, and etc as reflected in the novel, which could be labeled as quite different from the mainstream.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Motives of People in Utilizing the Freedom of Movement within the EU: The Case of Kosovo and Visa Liberalization with the EU]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: This study intends to identify the main motives for travel of citizens from Kosovo to the EU Member States once the visa liberalization takes place. The authors of this paper take into account demographic information from the surveys handed out to citizens of Kosovo, and try to correlate them with their motives for travel to the EU Member states. The study argues that visa liberalization for Kosovo is of imperative importance in preparing Kosovo for EU membership. The study also argues that citizens of Kosovo benefit substantially by creating networks with professionals in the areas of research, technology, and education. These networks could potentially lead to local businesses gaining from outsourcing, which would overtime increase economic development of the country. However, the study’s focal point is the analysis of the survey of Kosovars on how they would utilize the EU visa liberalization regime, using descriptive, correlation, and regression analysis. The descriptive statistics and simple correlation analysis show a strong negative correlation between employment status, and work and study as a reason for visiting the EU member states after visa liberalization, while there is strong positive correlation between employment status and business, tourism and research as reasons for visiting the EU. Similarly, strong correlations have been found between education level of the respondents and their age group as demographics in one side, and work, study, tourism, doing business, and conducting research as reasons for visiting EU after the visa liberalization regime is granted to Kosovo. By conducting such analysis, the authors of this study expect to give an overview of the current situation in terms of economic and socio-political implications regarding the visa liberalization, and the motives of Kosovars in utilizing the visa liberalization regime based on the responses received from the questionnaires.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Necessity of Establishing Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (Hems) in Bosnia And Herzegovina]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Once someone is seriously injured in incident site or need emergency transportation from one to another adequate medical facility for further treatment often the hope of those persons is a Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS).  In medicine term “golden hour” is always a question of life or death. Every saved minute for ill/injured patient within “golden hour” is often crucial for saving patients live and increases his/her chance to survive and to reduce other effects to minimum. This has importance when we consider the relief of Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&amp;H) whose land is very hilly with an average altitude of 500 m which slows down the quick response, and also due to high number of deaths in road accidents during last year’s, necessity for transportation organs, blood, etc. The doctor and paramedic (medical technician) as crew members of aerial asset can quickly work to stabilize condition of injured person from inaccessible areas, landmines areas, or any incident/accident site. Because of mentioned reasons it’s necessary to conduct research that will show need for development of HEMS (Helicopter Emergency Medical Service) that play a significant part in modern Emergency Medical Systems (EMS) in many countries.    Thus, the primary objective of an article is to examine the current status and organization of the HEMS in B&amp;H, evaluate the progress in the organization of HEMS over the last years, and make literature review and comparison to some other EU countries regarding HEMS missions. This comparison will show big differences in HEMS available assets and difference in completed missions in EU countries in comparison to B&amp;H.  Finally, as an expected result many patients throughout world owe their life to the availability of rapid and effective medical services that is crucial in most emergency situations and that’s reason why is necessary to develop more efficient and effective HEMS in B&amp;H.    Keywords: Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS), golden hour, emergency management, ill/injured patients.  ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Necessity of Re-Interpretation of Sources of Literature History With Reference to Two Odes Each From Bâkî Who Is the Repsesentative of Epicurean Philosophy and Nâbî Who Is the Representative of Philosophical Style]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Key words: Comparative literature, Epicurean philosophy, Philosophical style, Bâkî, Nâbî.  ABSTRACT  Definitions that are far away from wholesome and deep observations as in “Literature which is distant from public, real life, social tradition, customs and worries…” that is uttered for the Classic Turkish poetry tend to lose their meaning in today’s time and interpretations with much realistic, suitable evaluations began to be made. Doing such interpretations both for sources of classic Turkish literature history and for knowledge that could not rid itself from being a matter of memorization is essential. For such lacking interpretations introduces lots of poets incompletely.  According to this world-view known as Epicurean philosophy, one needs to make good use of his short life, needs to enjoy life by putting aside sorrow, grief and sadness. In philosophical style, it’s essential that social and political events stating advice and counsel should be uttered wisely, sayings and idioms reflecting the life style of society and some concepts should be told in an advice giving matter. In classic Turkish poetry, Bâkî is accepted as the representative of one of the ode styles known as “Rint”, and Nâbî as philosophical style. Thinking that Bâkî, who is the representative of Epicurean philosophy known as the life philosophy, which is suitable to “Rint”, in classic Turkish poetry, would write poems based on a single mood of his is contradictory to human psychology and sociological practices. While moods showing variances is a scientific reality, defining it as “Rint is a poet.” for Bâkî would be an incomplete interpretation thus emphasizing the necessity of more realistic interpretations and definitions by carrying the main goal of this study beyond the boundaries of such classic, parrot fashion interpretations. The knowledge, which is Rint style odes of Bâkî greatly aggregate, is not wrong but doesn’t mean that Bâkî cannot write or may have not written in philosophical style (pulpy, wisely, erudite) – just as Nâbî, the representative of the philosophical style. Similarly, it’s not plausible to say that Nâbî may not have written in Rint style odes on the psychology of his scientifically presenting variability. For this, putting the info in literary history books stating that poets may write poems in different styles will serve better for poets to be understood completely.]]></dcterms:abstract>
