    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Role of Universities in Sustainable Development]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Sustainable development is a concept which entails that economic development  needs to be maintained without any harm to the environement. In addition sustainable  development is a sort of development which helps today’s generation to meet their needs  without risking those of the future generations. In the light of such a view, using the natural  resources effectively, reducing the waste amount to a minimum level, and recyling the  resources, needs of the future generations will be provided and environment be continously  preserved. Sustainable development means programming the present and future life and  development in such a way to meet the needs of generations today and tomorrow without  exploiting the natural resources but by establishing a balance between the nature and the  humanbeings. Sustainable development is also a concept which has its social, environmental,  economic and institutional perspectives. The fundemantals of such a concept were first  established according to the report prepared by the World Environment and Development  Comission in 1987. Behind the environmental problems that arise similarly in many countries  lie imbalance between the economy and the environment. Humanbeings increase the standards  of life with the help of ever growing science, technology and industry, whereas they do big  harm to the nature. The indicators pertinent to sustainable development are the ones used to  measure the rate of progress achieved and also to show the extent to which objectives are  attained. These are also useful means to facilitate decision-making process to secure  sustainable develoopment in environmental, economic and social terms. Universities that play  an important role to educate professional people, to carry out academic research, and to  assume community service have important responsibilities and duties for sustainable  development internationally and nationwide. This article critically reviews the role of  universities as one of the strategic components of sustainable development.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Higher education is education provided by universities and other institutions that award  academic degrees. Higher education includes both the teaching and the research activities of universities,  and within the realm of teaching, it includes both the undergraduate level (sometimes referred to as  tertiary education) and the graduate (or postgraduate) level (sometimes referred to as quaternary  education or graduate school). Higher education differs from other forms of post-secondary education  such as vocational education. However, most professional education is included within higher education,  and many postgraduate qualifications are strongly vocationally or professionally oriented, for example in  disciplines such as law and medicine. In this study the trends in higher education, the effects of  globalization on higher education, the opportunities presented by communication and information  technologies; and the effects of changes in higher education on globalization will be mentioned. At the  end of the present study a road map will be presented by taking the suggestions and position of Turkey  and Albania as a starting point for computer centers at universities.   ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[A small part of flowers which occurs by blooming and have fruit set stay on tree  till harvest in fruit trees. If all flowers transformed to the fruit the tree would not feed these,  not to be completed developing and decreased their quality. Hence, both the tree and growers  are affected negatively. Researches show that even have good fertilization and growing  conditions most of the flowers and fruits abscise. In fruit culture abscission of the flower and  fruit is four forms. These ones are; flower, small fruit, June and pre-harvest period abscission.  Many factors effect flower and fruit abscission. These ones are; lack of the fertilization,  inadequate nutrition, lack of the plant growth regulators, diseases, pests and abnormal  environmental factors, respectively.   In this research, concerning reasons of flower and fruit abscission and the measures against  these situations are evaluated.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In recent years, organic farming not only in developed countries, has been  spreading rapidly in developing countries. This case is largely result of the increasing  importance among consumers for healthy food consumption and environment protection.  Suitable for organic production and ecological conditions that has a production potential of  our country, the world market share of organic products and food is low.   The main purposes of this study are the current ecological farming products, the advantages  and disadvantages of organic farming products in the world and especially in Turkey is  considered to be schematically.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Using Multimedia Technologies as a Current Trends on   Social Sciences Education]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Last decade’s mere technology that includes only writing, speaking skills and  static graphics were used but this technique is simple and inadequate for social sciences  and its education. However, multimedia technologies include high, advanced and  sophisticated technology. Such technologies are used a lot of field in social sciences   education. These are showing up in every walk of education and every aspect of  community; architecture, business, education as social sciences. Now multimedia  technologies which are including video, audio, animation, interactive map, graphic, table,   and GIS, RS technologies are used for social sciences education. These new techniques,  which are based commonly on computer, provide good education and better learning.  Proponents of multimedia and modern techniques show that they can change the way we  understand, think, learn, and work; they have heralded it brings the end of printed books  and static graphics. Advocates of modern methodology and tools, both in their research  and educational applications, see them better than mere technology. Modern and last  systems are garnering to increase attention in cartography, history and geography,  although there is a paucity of literature on the prospects of multimedia as a research or  educational method in history, and geography. They are used a lot of sample area which  occurs our study subject. Some of them allow us to view, understand, question, interpret,  and visualize data in many ways that reveal relationships, patterns, and trends in the form  of maps, globes, reports, and charts. They help people answer questions and solve  problems by looking at people’s data in a way that is quickly understood and easily  shared.   This presentation describes an educational application of multimedia and modern tools  for geography and history education as social sciences based on the assumption that  multimedia and high and advanced technology are better than mere skill. As a result, the  aim of this study is presenting some multimedia technology based on examples and  applications in social sciences.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Food Drying Technology]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Applications of artificial intelligence techniques, such as artificial neural networks,  fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms and neural-fuzzy systems, in engineering have gained  momentum in past decade. Main applications of these techniques in engineering are  estimation, optimization and control process. In this paper, some of the applications are  studied and both simulation and real-time experimental results are given. Artificial neural  networks and genetic algorithms are very useful for estimation and optimization process for  drying technologies. However, fuzzy logic is also capable of both classification and control of  the drying process. Estimation, optimization and control applications of artificial intelligence  methods are given in detail for different types of food drying applications. Echinacea  angustifolia and carrot are selected as application examples. A fuzzy logic based control  approach is employed to control a convective type drier. Estimation and optimization  applications of artificial neural networks and genetic algorithms are compared with non-linear  regression analysis. In addition, fuzzy control is also compared with a classical control  technique to conclude the robustness of the fuzzy control in terms of classical control.  According to the results, it is observed that artificial intelligence techniques have several  advantages such as: decreasing computation time, increasing stability and accuracy. Moreover  these techniques could be applicable for different type processes with simple changes in  configuration.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This study was conducted to determine effect of climate change  (temperature and rainfall) on the amount of ınput uses such as fertilizer, pesticide,  animal manure, family labour, paid labour and machine by selected farmer’s.The  minumum usable sample of farm enterprises were determined as 124 based on  stratified sampling technique. The data were collected from six villages in Çumra and  Sarayönü districts in Konya. Input applications as farmer preference under the  increasing temperature and rainfall were compared with its under the decreasing  temperature and rainfall situations. The binary logistic regression was applied to  determine the influence of each selected agricultural practise on the probability that  the change of temperature and rainfall conditions.  The results showed that when the temperature rises, the percantage of farmers who  decrease the amount of chemicals (fertilizer and pesticide), the amount of paid labour  increase. When the rainfall rises, the percantage of farmers who increase the amount  of chemicals and the amount of family labour decrease. The other factors weren’t  significantly important at the level of probability or beter as 0.05.]]></dcterms:abstract>
