    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Significance of Efficiency for Sustainable Development :  A Practice of Data Envelopment Analysis on Textile Sector]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Resources in the nature are limited and mankind has to use these resources  economically or otherwise next generations might have difficulty in surviving. That is why  today’s decision makers has to be able to think and plan the futures resources for not to  danger future’s generations. In this perspective sustainable development policies can be  considered as a solution for the next generation’s wealth. Sustainable development policy  requires a balance while consuming the natural resources. For sustainable development  efficient uses of resources is essential. In this study we try to assess the efficiency of the  Turkish textile sector companies, regarding to sustainable development. In this study Data  Enveloping Analyses is practiced to the data gathered from Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE)  quoted textile companies. Results of the survey indicates that efficiency rates affected  negatively from the Chinese factor, domestic structural deficiencies in textile sector and  economic situation.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Determination of The Effects of Loads on Some Engine Parameters for  Agricultural Tractors]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The objective of this study is to determine the load based engine exhaust  temperature, cooling water temperature, fuel consumption and specific fuel  consumption parameters and to examine the relationship between them. To this end,  partial loads have been applied to three different tractor brands that are widely used in  our country (Massey Ferguson 3085, New Holland TD85 and John Deere 5625) under  workshop conditions at different PTO speeds (540, 540E, 750) by using an Eddy  Current dynamometer. The trials have been carried out separately for each tractor and  the engine parameters have been measured concurrently with the applied loads. In all  trials the exhaust gas temperature has been found to be between 181.10-603.40 °C, the  engine cooling water temperature between 63.20-83.40 °C, the fuel consumption  between 3.15-15.68 L/h and the specific fuel consumption to be between 230.37-  1112.79 g/kWh. According to the results of the research there is a distinct increase in  the exhaust gas temperature and fuel consumption parameters due to the increase of  PTO and there is a decrease with similar ratios in specific fuel consumption. Whereas  cooling water temperature values tend to decrease very slightly due to power change.  According to variance analysis results it has been determined that the PTO speed and  PTO power factors and their interactions have statistically significant (P&lt;0.01) effects  on all the measured parameters. As a result of the study it has been concluded that even  though the three PTO speeds have different engine operation parameters, they can be  used as alternatives for each other for many PTO driven agricultural machines.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[An Investigation on Improvement of Yield Potential of TMP-2  Composite Maize Gene Pool]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This study was conducted at the Black Sea Agricultural Research Institute in Samsun-  Turkey in 2005 and 2006. The aim of this research was to improve the yield potential of the TMP-  2 corn gene pool. A composite corn cultivar with high adaptation potential called &#039;Karadeniz  Yildizi&#039; in Turkish was enhanced using genetic source material (TMP-2). Nineteen maize source  materials with high yield potential and similar agronomic traits to TMP-2 corn gene pool were  obtained from Sakarya Agricultural Research Institute. These materials were then crossed with  TMP-2 corn gene pool as female parents in 2005. Obtained hybrids were tested and experiment  was conducted by randomized block design with three replications. Data was recorded for grain  yield and yield components. In the experiment, the seeds of high yielding hybrids were mixed with  seeds of TMP-2 gene pool at the rate of 5 % and used as male parents for next generation crossing.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Creating Morally-minded Organizations in a Machiavellian Work  Environment]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Organizations are highly rational constructs operating in a competitive market and  bureaucratic entities designed to attain first organizational-collective and individual-private ends in  an orderly fashion. In an entity as such there is little formally accepted and approved room for  personal maneuvers which may jeopardize much larger goals of organizations. However,  organizations have an internally and interpersonally highly competitive environment, more like a  war place for power and influence. Organizations are increasing looking for competent,  competitive and achievement oriented individuals yet expect them to work in teams as resource  sharing saints. It is time to ask whether it is exactly this paradoxical tendency of modern  organizations that encourage Machiavellian behaviors. What type of business organizations and  environments are more conducive to Machiavellianism? What types of negative and positive  incentives are there in regard to Machiavellianism? And what needs to be done? The aim of this  work is to develop above argument further, answer some of above questions and then make  workable suggestions for practitioners to help in their attempts to identify Machiavellian  tendencies and differentiate Machiavellian behaviors from non-Machiavellian ones.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Is the Interest Policy Responsible for the  Global Financial Crises?]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Interest represents the allocation of an unearned and imaginary income, which is  assumed to have been born out of the exchanges of derivatives on the basis of their nominal  values. This is one of the main reasons for the recent financial bubble resulting in the global  financial crisis in 2008. This paper first aims to define interest from the Islamic perspective in the  light of the Koran and the Prophetic tradition. In addition to the interest of debt which is known by  all, the prophet Mohammad taught the mankind another kind of interest, that is ‗interest of  exchange‘ that appears in the exchanges of goods, different foreign currencies, and financial  derivatives. Then, the paper primarily aims to examine the role and the place of interest  mechanism in the crises, particularly in the 2008 Global Financial Crisis.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Sustainable Developments and Energy Strategies in Turkey]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Fossil fuels have been used as energy source which is used in a variety of fields  such as running factories, transportation, electricity generation and also homes and  buildings, since the Industrial Revolution. As the energy consumption is strongly related  with the living standards and development of the countries, new energy sources should be  created. This is also necessary because of the causing global warming, climate change,  melting of ice caps, and increase in sea levels, ozone layer depletion, acid rains, and  pollution of fossils. Country such as Turkey is developing and thus energy consumption  getting larger, needs to develop new strategies for energy in order to compensate this energy  need. For the purpose of this study, Turkey is considered as representative of the various  spectra of development in the continent and a review is presented on the energy policy of  Turkey and how far these policies are meeting up to the challenges of sustainable  developments.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Although fossils are the main energy source for many countries, some  alternative energy sources have been created to generate electricity. This new energy source  would be sustainable and promising energy sources and change the current energy economy  to a sustainable economy, which is hydrogen economy. Hydrogen is the most efficient fuel  and it is about 26% more efficient than fossil fuels. On the other hand it is not a primary  energy source, but a secondary energy source or an energy carrier. Actually, it is the  cleanest energy carrier, since it does not produce greenhouse gases, or chemicals which  deplete the ozone layer. In addition, it is the most cost-effective fuel, when its higher  efficiency and the environmental damage caused by fossil fuels are considered. In this  study, hydrogen delivery, storage, conversion and utilization methods are investigated for  sustainable development strategy.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Services for the People with Disabilities in e-Government Applications:The  Case of e-Turkey]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In its simplest form, the concept of e-Government means the conduction of mutual  duties and services between citizens and the state in an uninterrupted and safe manner. In this  respect, e-Government enables the provision of public services to the citizens in an  electronic/digital environment. This way, the e-Government perspective which tends to  replace the bureaucratic and classical state, aims every institution and individual to reach the  state via information technology-based systems. In social life, e-Government applications  have a great importance in providing equal and indispensible conditions for sustainable  development for everyone in the society. An efficient e-Government application necessitates  development of services like e-health, e-inclusion and e-learning. In this context, e-  Government should be considered as a social inclusion process toward an “Information  Society for Everyone” [ISE], especially concerning some groups which have the risk of  exclusion. E-Government services, conducted for one of those important risk groups, “people  with disabilities”, have an unquestionable place in the integration process of this group to  social life. In this paper, we examine the extent of the Turkish e-Government services and in  particular kinds of services offered to 8,5 million people with disabilities. In general, it is  observed that services offered to people with disabilities are concentrated on health,  education, employment, social rights-social services, care services and accessibility.]]></dcterms:abstract>
