    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Utilization of Modified Rye Straws as Biosorbents for Cr (VI) Ions]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The potential to remove Cr (VI) ion from aqueous solutions using modified rye  straws (MRS), through adsorption was investigated in batch experiments. Rye straws were  collected from vicinity of Konya, Turkey and modified with various amount of citric acid (CA).  The parameter for modification was selected by trying different parameters such as time,  temperature and citric acid quantity. The rate of adsorption was studied under a variety of  conditions including initial Cr (VI) concentration (1.10-4-4.10-3M), amount of adsorbent (0.05-  0.4 g), pH (1.5 to 7), and contact time (5-240 min). Adsorption of Cr (VI) uptake is in all cases  pH-dependent showing a maximum at equilibrium at pH values of 1.5-2.0 for (MRS). The  batch sorption kinetics has been tested and the applicability of the Langmuir and Freundlich  adsorption isotherms for the present system has been tested at 25°C. The experimental results  inferred that adsorption, electrostatic attraction, complexation and chelation are major  adsorption mechanisms for binding Cr (VI) ion to the (MRS).  Compared to the various other adsorbents reported in the literature, the (MRS) shows very good  alternative adsorbent for practical applicability for waste streams and the results indicated that  MRS can be employed as a low cost alternative in the removal of Cr (VI) ion from wastewater.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Value of Language and Content Needs Analysis in English for  Legal Purposes Courses: Example from Croatia]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[English for legal purposes (ELP) is gaining more importance  worldwide, which means using this type of language in different cultural and  linguistic contexts, and in different legal systems. Therefore there is a need to  develop ELP courses which are sensitive to the particular environment in which  they will be implemented (Jordan, 1997) and the first step is to conduct a  thorough needs analysis of language knowledge and skills as well as areas of law  the students find most important.  This study evaluated the needs of three groups of ELP students: first-year law  students taking ELP as a mandatory course, graduate law students taking ELP as  an elective course and practising lawyers attending ELP courses at a specialised  language school. A total of 161 students participated.  The study adopted a quantitative approach and aimed at determining differences  between the groups in the fields of language skills and areas of law, as well as at  establishing students‘ satisfaction with the current ELP course and their  motivation and usage of ELP. The outcomes of the study confirmed our initial  hypothesis: there is a strong correlation between gaining work experience and the  level of importance attached to areas of law studied in ELP courses.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[THE VIEWS OF PROSPECTIVE TURKISH TEACHERS ABOUT NATIVE SPEAKER NORMS FOR L2 PRONUNCIATION]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Over the past decades the goal of pronunciation instruction in English language teaching has shifted from attaining native-like competence to achieving intelligible pronunciation. With research pointing out to the effects of age on pronunciation competence in L2 learning, native-like pronunciation seems to be an unrealistic goal, especially for those who start learning English after a certain period. Moreover, with the current status of English as an international language, communicating effectively with non-native speakers (NNS) from different L1 backgrounds has gained more importance than conforming to native speaker (NS) norms. While these facts argue against insistence on native-like pronunciation, the influence of NS norms is still dominant both in learners’ and teachers’ pronunciation preferences. The present study explores Turkish prospective teachers’ (PTs) views on the importance of NS pronunciation norms for their own competence, for EFL teachers’ competence, and for L2 learners’ competence. The data is collected through a questionnaire distributed to 182 first-year and senior students attending the ELT department of a state university in Istanbul, Turkey. The questionnaire aims at eliciting participants’ views about their own pronunciation and about the importance of native speaker norms for both teachers and learners of English. The findings indicate that prospective teachers’ beliefs about the importance of native-like pronunciation competence are stronger in relation to their own pronunciation compared to their beliefs about the importance of it for teachers’ and learners’ competence. Moreover, the results also demonstrate that firstyear PTs who are still under the influence of the established beliefs about NS norms hold stronger views regarding the importance of NS norms than senior PTs who seem to be more aware of the recent changes in the goals of pronunciation teaching and learning.    Keywords: Turkish prospective teachers, pronunciation, native speaker norms]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Purpose: The bank staff represents the bank to the customers. The working  conditions of the bank employees play a great role on the success. The  main aim of this study is measuring the quality of the working environment  of the banks by using three factors, which are knowledge, consistency and  trust, and comparing the working environment of the agents to the  managers.  Design/methodology/approach: 100 questionnaires are used to evaluate  the quality of the working condition quality of the banks. Semi-structured  interviews and snowball sampling is used to reach various departments of  the banks.  Findings: The working condition quality of the managers is better than the  working condition quality of the agents. But there is no significant  difference on the consistency of the conditions. Duration has a significant  effect on the working conditions which create trust on the employees to  the company.  Originality/value: This paper is a proof of that the managers do not have  good conditions as expected. The managers can be disturbed by the  managers which are above them.  Keywords: Bank Staff, Working Condition Quality, Agents and Managers.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Youth&#039;s Perception of Migration in Bosnia and Herzegovina (doi: 10.14706/icesos1721)]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: Migration, in a simple definition, is the movement of people from one country to another. One  of the major problems in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) is youth migration. Young people from BiH  mostly migrate to European countries. Factors which have an influence on the youth migration and  relationship between demographic differences, as well as the tendency of the youth to emigrate have  attracted a great curiosity. The purpose of this study is to examine the perceptions of the youth about  determinants of migration as well as the relationship between demographic variables and immigration  tendency. Using the survey method, 207 responses were collected from the youth in BiH. Descriptive  analysis, one-sample, and independent sample t-test were constructed to analyze data. The results have  showed that the perceptions of the youth about job opportunities in BiH and approach of officials towards  young people are negative. However, study results show that younger group of young people with less  education have a greater tendency to emigrate.     Keywords: migration, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the youth]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Key words: Lulabies, themes, motives, Bosniaks  ABSTRACT  Lullabies as a kind of lyrical songs inside Bosniaks’ oral poetry has been recorded since the second half of the nineteen century in a more intensive way. However, up till now there are no serious theoretical approaches to this kind of lyrical songs. This paper offers an insight into history of recordings of Bosniaks’ lullabies in the oral literature. In addition, the paper aims to analyze poetical characteristic of Bosniaks’ lullabies based on selected examples from manuscripts and collections which were composed during the period of 120 years. The main contribution of the paper is a systematic analysis of themes and motives of these lyrics songs, which is something fully unexplored in the oral poetry of Bosniaks’ literature.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[There is a combat today between economy, ecology and technology. In order to  reduce this combat, a new approach developed under the umbrella of sustainable  development. As a result of various environmental problems, the relationship between  religion, development and environment became a hot issue in the field of religion. Today, a  theological approach known as ecotheology is very influential among the followers of  various religious movements.In this regard, one of the main questions is this: What are  sustainable values for a sustainable development? In this paper, we will argue that religion  could play an important role as a provider of sustainable values for a sustainable development  and the necessity of spirituality for it]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Theoretical review of the inclusive approach of the learning difficulties in the ESL classroom in Bosnia and Herzegovina]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Learning difficulties (LDs) refer to a range of complex and often misunderstood neurological-based processing challenges. In most cases, these processing cause challenges to the acquisition of basic skills such as reading, writing and math. Different teaching methods may need to be applied to compensate for the specific aspects of learning that children find challenging to a process of learning.  In most ESL classrooms, there are  no qualified special needs teachers or teachers who are trained to work with students with learning difficulties. Even if there are, only a few teachers are trained on how to deal with learning disabilities in an ESL classroom and there is very little information on the subject. This paper will introduce the research concerning the difficulties and the education in the inclusive system among the teachers in Bosnia and Herzegovina.    Keywords: inclusion, specific learning difficulties, dyslexia, ADHD, special education, teacher training]]></dcterms:abstract>
