    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Theological Significance of Sustainable Development]]></dcterms:title>
    <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[Water for Sustainable Development: Example from Past to Future]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Freshwater is not only a finite resource that is imperative for sustainable  development but also economic growth, political and social stability, human and ecosystem  health, and poverty eradication. While water issues have long been on the international  agenda, the debate on how to meet the growing global demand for freshwater has intensified  in recent years: over 800 million people currently lack access to safe drinking water, while  about 2.5 billion lack access to adequate sanitation.  In response to these challenges, the World Water Forum was initiated as a platform to include  water issues on the international agenda. The WWC, an international policy think-tank  established in 1996, addresses global concerns over the pressures on the Earth’s freshwater  resources.  Besides todays global water issues,the historical example given below is a way to enlight our  future by the means os usage and management of the water suplies. In XVI. Century in  Istanbul there was a strong scarcity on water. The increasing population and welfare by time,  the consumption of water has increased during the time. The water supply systems were not  sufficient for Istanbul. The dimension of this scarcity was mentioned by Selaniki. One bottle  of water was 15 akçe. Those days, a worker’s daily wage was 6 akçe. A skillled worker’s  daily wage was 12 akçe. Due to these problems ; in 1554 Suleiman the Magnificient ordered  his architect Sinan to supply water to the Đstanbul from the forests located on the north of the  city. The grand vizier of Sultan, opposed this huge project because of its cost. The grand  vizier notified that if the water comes to the city in large amounts; the Đstanbul would became  to an attractive position for people from many nations and occupations.This would cause the  increase in the population of the city coming aside with many other problems.  Kanuni has endowed 5 villages and a town for the finance of this big investment. Kanuni  mentioned that his will is “fountains should be built to every district. To the high places that,  the consturction of fountain is impossible the fresh water well should be placed. By that the  old people, poor women, infants can full their water caps and that they can pray for the  continuity of regality.  In the consensus of Istanbul given by the 5.th World Water Forum was a reflection from an  event held centuries ago. The contribution of Kanuni is an event that still should enlight  todays modern approaches toward the use of water. “Access to good quality water and  sanitation is a basic right for all human beings and plays an essential role in life and  livelihoods, the preservation of the health of the population and the fight against poverty.”]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Reengineering: Necessary Aspect of Sustainability for Organizational  Development]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Most of the managers believe that they have had all the debates they need to have  and that the industry will continue to exist as it has for many years. But the industry is  continuously deregulated, and the business must be reconfigured in this deregulated  environment? There is always a fear of unknown but organizations must evaluate their needs  for changing fundamentals of the business. Companies, even those with cultures receptive to  process innovation, should not expect to achieve major change without making major  commitments. Successful reengineering process relies on a wide range of skills. To effect  needed change, organizations must somehow mobilize sufficient technological, human and  organizational, political, and process expertise with the requisite enablers. This necessarily  involves assigning some of their best people, or, if the firm lacks the needed skills or methods  internally, employing external consultants, to design and implement new processes. Business  orientation that combines process improvement and process innovation efforts is unique and  uniquely relevant to current business management. It is in keeping with cultural leanings  toward innovation and incorporates the rigor and measurement orientation found in the quality  approaches of many successful firms.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Outsourcing in its essence is a very dynamic and diverse topic and there  are many different outsourcing options. In this paper, we would try to discuss basics  on outsourcing aimed for a client and an outsourcing provider. It is argued that  outsourcing has its benefits and disadvantages. It is on a company to do due  diligence of itself prior to undertake outsourcing process. However, statistical data  shown that outsourcing is rapidly growing and it has more its benefits over  downsides. As globalization spreading out in untouched areas of the world,  outsourcing does so. In this article we try to give the definitions, types and benefits  of outsourcing for the organizations in order to give a broad understanding of its  effects on sustainable development.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Energy is a vital element of development. Clear, reliable, environmental friendly  and sustainable energy is a prerequisite for the sustainable development. In recent years, it is  known that fossil fuel resources are getting towards to finish and also they cause several  environmental problems. Therefore, use of renewable energy sources are becoming a  necessity. The hydroelectric power, also called green energy, is among the renewable energy  sources although it has some disadvantages. Turkey, which is estimated that has 1% of the  world and 16% of Europe total hydroelectric power, has initiated projects in order to benefit  from these resources and some of them are completed and started to produce electricity.  However, as it is the case for several countries nowadays, Turkey is having problems in  producing required electricity. This energy necessity is partly overcome by importing petrol  and natural gas. However, being dependent on outside energy resources carries important  risks for economic and political development. Therefore, it appears that the best solution to  the energy shortage is to maximize the use of renewable energy sources in sustainable ways.  Currently, Turkey uses 34% (43 billion kwh) of the economic hydroelectric potential (125  billion kwh). Increasing this to 100% in the near future is quite important in terms of reaching  planned development objectives]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Sustainable Tourism Development an Opportunity for   Bosnia and Herzegovina?]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Bosnia and Herzegovina is endowed with many resources such as geographical  position, climate, nature and above all its people. Its diversity is a magnet for millions of  potential travelers and visitors. Neither its government nor its people realize their huge  potential and possible benefits that tourism can bring about helping them not only to prosper  economically but also reconcile their differences.  Tourism is playing more and more important role in national and local economies. There is  no evidence that this will trend will decline. Bosnian climate, geographic position, cultural  and historic monuments and before all the composition of its people are key attraction for  visitors. Visitors will contribute significantly to the local and national economy and the  economic multiplier effect of this spend, in turn, supports employment and secondary tourist  facilities.  Similarly, in the determination of future proposals that could impact on the setting, character  and appearance of its potentials, special care is needed by planners and promoters to assess  its potential, spread the awareness and unleash it to the Globe so that the benefits can be  harvested. Bosnia can learn from its neighbors who are well known tourism leaders. There is  a huge room for regional cooperation and collaboration. Nonetheless, Bosnia and  Herzegovina has its competitive edge in its diversity that none of the neighbors can possibly  acquire in the foreseeable future.  Key to the sustainable approach of tourism and the cultural heritage is the preparation of  appropriate master plan that takes into account the identified overall effects in order to guide  the course of development in a manner that protects those very resources that attract visitors  and that does not cause in the short, medium and long term any reduction in their character  or appearance.  If managed properly tourism can bring about positive change that its people await for long  time.  ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Numerical Investigations of Flow and Heat Transfer Characteristics of  Water Based CuO and Al2O3 Nanofluids Using Two-Phase Mixture Model]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The development of high-performance thermal systems has increased interest in  heat transfer enhancement techniques. The application of additives to heat transfer liquids is  one of the noticeable effort to enhance heat transfer. The stable suspensions of nanoparticles  (typically &lt; 100 nm) in liquids are called nanofluids.  In this study, heat transfer characteristics of two different nanofluids flowing through a  circular tube under constant heat flux condition have been investigated numerically. Fluent  6.3 has been used this numerical study. Two-phase mixture model has been implemented two  solve the problem. The comparison has been made between calculated and experimental  results. The suspended nanosized particles enhance heat transfer and Nusselt numbers by  comparing pure water at the same Reynolds numbers. Moreover, pressure drops for the  nanofluids is approximately the same as that of pure water. The nanofluids containing CuO  has showed bigger heat transfer enhancement than Al2O3 in all volume fraction rates.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Bending Analysis of Timber Connection Strengthen with Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In order to obtain both durability and originality of the timber structures it is  necessary to strengthen them particularly in the weak joint places. The aims of strengthen in  the connecting places are to decrease the stress, to obtain fibre continuity, to reduce  disadvantages of nail and bolts. Nowadays, Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastics, (GFRP)  produced via pultrusion process that is one of fibre reinforced polymer types, are used for  strengthen of the structural elements. In recently, it has been increased strengthen for timber  structural elements by using GFRP because of its high strength, light weight, corrosion  resistance and also very easily applying to the structures.   The aim of this study is to obtain the fibre continuity of connecting places of timber  structural elements of construction systems that under the bending conditions. Mechanical  performances of the connecting places of fibre reinforced longitudinal notched lap joints  have been investigated. Experimental specimens have been prepared from black pine timber  which is very abundant in nature. To determine performances of the specimens, 5 different  types of adhesively bonded and strengthen with GFRP bar samples, have been prepared. The  specimens have been tested subjected to bending strength and the obtained results have been  compared each others. The outcomes demonstrate that the bending strength of the  connection points strengthen with GFRP bar has higher than adhesively bonded connection  specimen and this ratio is about 300 %. ]]></dcterms:abstract>
