    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT POLICY AND HARMONIZING EXTERNAL TRADE BY MODE OF  TRANSPORT: MACEDONIAN CASE]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[There is a growing imbalance between modes of transport in all over the world. The increasing success of  road and air transport is resulting in ever worsening congestion, while, paradoxically, failure to exploit  the full potential of rail. But saturation in certain parts of the European Union must not blind us to the  fact that outlying areas have inadequate access to central markets. In this context the main engagement  in the trans-European policy is to pursue the optimization of the interregional transport services at the  European level through a multimodal approach and interoperability for each transport mode. Coherent  transport policy can contribute to reduction of the budget expenses for the transport sector by providing  the conditions for efficient management of infrastructure or the instruments for internalization and  reduction of transport external costs.  For Macedonia case, transport plays essential role for economic development. Regional co-operation in  Western Balkans is of even greater importance today. From a commercial point of view, the Union is the  main trading partner for Western Balkans, and its business cooperation with these countries has  increased in importance.  But, one mode of transport is consistently predominant. Road transport was the main mode of transport  used for trade with European countries. The analysis of external trade shows that road transport was by  far the most used mode of transport for trade with 92% by value. But in terms of volume, this accounted  for 89% over the five years. Also showing a higher percentage in terms of volume than value, rail  transport accounted only between 12-20% by volume and between 5-10% by value.  In addition, the Republic of Macedonia should take advantage of its position, harmonize all transport  modes, because such as South-East European country, it is at intersection of routes to Balkans,  Mediterranean and Caspian Region and Asia. Corridors VIII and X are expected to be ones of the impulses  to generate economic development among countries of Western Balkans.  Sustainable transport is an enormously complex and dynamic subject, and it can be concluded that the  transport system in this region can be improved by favoring those transport modes which are more  effective and environmentally friendly. Key words: sustainable transport, sustainable development, transport modes, road transport, external  trade, Western Balkans]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Divan literature is a literary style that lasted six hundred years. This  literary style, which had a vital importance in our history, has been strongly criticized  on the grounds that it was isolated from the people of the time and had no connection  to real life. However, Divan literature was popular in all levels of the society, and  popular with many poets from different parts of the empire. This article aims to  anaylze the poet Sırrî, who lived in Trabzon in the 16th Century, and whose life has  not yet been studied.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Traces of the Life of Charlotte Brontë in Jane Eyre]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[‗‗Details, situations which I do not understand and cannot personally inspect, I  would not for the world meddle with. Besides not one feeling on any subject, public or  private, will I ever affect that I do not really experience.‘‘ (Smith, 2000) This confession  settles the question whether the books written by Charlotte Brontë are drawn from what  came within her own world of experience. This paper wants to show the influence of the  life and experiences of Charlotte Brontë on her famous novel Jane Eyre. The first part of  the article provides a brief summary of the life of Charlotte Brontë. The second part  provides information about the schools she attended to which are Cowan Bridge and Roe  Head and their similarities to the novel. The third part of this paper provides Charlotte  Brontë‘s working experience as a governess in Stonegappe. The fourth part provides  information about Henry Nussey, Mr. Heger and Hathersage, which have important  influences on the novel. The paper concludes that a close acquaintance with Charlotte  Brontë‘s life shows that the story of Jane Eyre is largely her own experience.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Trade Agreements of Albania and their Impact on Agriculture, Imports and Exports]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This paper examines the impact that the free trade agreements of Albania have had on the overall economy in general and in agriculture sector, exports and imports in particular, turning out to be increased in significant amounts. These trade agreements have provided the Albanian economy with a competitive advantage and economic space. The long journey of integration for Albania has started with its association in the World Trade Organization (WTO), a great step towards international competitiveness, followed by being part of Central European Free Trade Area (CEFTA). Albania has also free trade agreements with nine countries of the region, including Bosnia &amp; Herzegovina, Kosovo, Macedonia, Moldova, Croatia, Yugoslavia and Turkey, Romania and Bulgaria, which are the latest EU members, and by January 2009, the process of ratification from the members of European Union countries finished. This means free exchange of goods and services between these countries by exploiting better their competitive advantages. The possibility of the development of agro-industrial industries continues to be high for Albania, because many products can be exported customs duty zero, facilitating the burden of tariffs and taxes. All analyses done about the impact of the FTA on trade facilitation, price reduction and the volume of imports and exports results that generally in 2008 and especially since 2010, there has been seen a positive trend in the increase of the volume of trade, indicating the positive effect of these agreements in the mentioned sectors. Furthermore, there is a need for deep structural changes, including changing the size of the farm, further development of the land market, increased competitiveness, more domestic production, and an increase the level of public and private investments in the future.    Keywords:Agriculture, exports, imports, tariffs, customs duty, impact.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Trade as Engine of Growth: The Case of Turkey]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[As a result of technological changes in the world, international trade has  become very easy in practice and has shown a rapid increase in the  volume. The increase in trade volume is closely related to the growth  policies implemented by countries. While some of countries applying  import substitution policies for economic growth, some of them applying  export oriented policies for growth. Both import-led growth hypothesis  and export-led growth hypothesis are an important discussion in applied  economics. Turkey&#039;s economy implemented import substitution growth  policies until 1980 then country&#039;s economy affected by oil crisis after that  stabilization program applied in 24 January 1980. In this respect, the study  is divided into two separate parts, which are the years between 1962 and  1981, years between 1982 and 2010. These two groups analyzed and  evaluated separately. The main purpose of this study is to investigate  relationship between export, import and growth in both periods for  Turkey. Dickey Fuller (ADF) tested stationary of the variables. Granger  causality test was applied to test the existence of causality between the  variables. As a result of this paper, it is found that causal relationship from  import towards economic growth from 1962 to 1981 and casual  relationship from export towards economic growth between the years  1982 and 2010.  Keywords: Export-Led Growth, Import-Led Growth, Economic Growth,  Trade, Granger Causality Test.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract  This paper addresses an important issue of an impact of trade liberalisation on export structure and product concentration, which, according to contemporary findings, have a strong influence on the dynamics of an economic growth. The analysis covers the region of the Western Balkans (WB) in years 1995 – 2013 with an emphasis on Stabilisation and Association Process (SAP) and CEFTA-2006 agreement, which formed the basis for the trade liberalisation in the region. The empirical results provide evidence that is in contrary to the evidence from other countries where trade liberalisation resulted in their deepened specialisation in production and export of raw materials and labour-intensive goods. Moreover, liberalisation processes turned out not to have had much impact on product concentration of the WB’s trade. Finally, substitutability of capital and labour factors in the production process of exported goods was confirmed.  Key words: Western Balkans, international trade, trade]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Keywords:Mahala, traditional house in Bosnia and Herzegovina, indigenous materials, green garden, eco-design, sustainability, vernacular architecture.  ABSTRACT  Following recent architectural trends in housing, Bosnia is facing problems of city sedimentation. Proportionally to the city growth, level of environmental contamination is increasing. Environmental crisis cannot be limited to a specific micro-scale for it is a global issue. Residential buildings are one of the biggest energy consumers. Macro-regions are being formed through informal dwellings, suffocating the city and bending over it. ‘New Mahalas’1 in Bosnia and Herzegovina are the result of ‘new way of living.’ They are collectors of pollutants and unsustainable development. Surpassing ecological, there is ever present social and economic aspect of this type of built environment, which is a serious threat to aesthetic and historical value of traditional mahala. Before the era of sustainability, synergy between architecture and nature was the foundation of traditional settlement in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The aim of this research is not ‘anti-modernism’ or going backwards but to investigate the elements of vernacular house that can be implemented to present social and environmental circumstances as well as to answer to the needs of contemporary living and create a more sustainable architecture.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Key words: traditional, modern, methodology, advantage, disadvantage  ABSTRACT  Which methods of teaching have our teachers used,and we grew up with? Which methods do we use nowdays? Has something changed? Can we, today, talk about &quot;those traditional&quot; and &quot;these modern&quot; approaches of teaching?What, in fact, we can name as &quot;traditional&quot; and &quot;modern&quot;? Is there a border where we can distinguish or separate one from another? All these questions show the big imporatnce of knowing the terms : methodology, traditional, modern...Traditional method of teaching is &quot;teacher-dominated interaction&quot;.Teaching is deeply teacher centred and teachers are the source of the knowledge, while learners are passive receivers that must memorize things.Modern method is &quot;student centred&quot; method based on &quot;help learning to happen&quot;-role, communication, interaction, helping students to explore method.These days, especially at private schools, we have great possibilities in what a teacher can do with the students, in terms of teaching methodsand usage of all optional aids in the classroom.With this freedom in teaching we also have an enormous number of ideas to use.Since the time we spent with our students is very precious,teachers&#039; crucial task should be:comparing, analysing and evaluating the methods they use to motivate the students and to make learning as effective as possible. A teacher must be aware of all advantages and disadvantages in using all types of methodologies. There is no one best or worst method, or one method simply the best for everything and everybody.The central factor in the choice of methods is the learner&#039;s need and character. A teacher must be a good pedagog to see and understand all the students&#039; individual abilities. Some methods work for one person well, but the same one might not work for another person at all.Understanding the student help you choose the way of teaching]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[There are lots of studies about preventing or detecting the car accidents. Most of them  includes sensing objects which might cause accident or statistics about accidents. In this  study, a system which detects happening accidents will be studied. The system will collect  necessary information from neighbor vehicles and process that information using machine  learning tools to detect possible accidents. Machine learning algorithms have shown success  on distinguishing abnormal behaviors than normal behaviors. This study aims to analyze  traffic behavior and consider vehicles which move different than current traffic behavior as a  possible accident. Results showed that clustering algorithms can successfully detect  accidents.]]></dcterms:abstract>
