    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This study reports on an investigation into differences in learning orientations of EFL  students at Atatürk University located in Erzurum, Turkey, using Vermunt’s (1977) Inventory of  Learning Styles (ILS). The Inventory of Learning Styles (ILS) is an instrument aimed at measuring  several components of student learning, namely, cognitive processing strategies, metacognitive  regulation strategies, conceptions of learning, and learning orientations. This study focuses on  determining patterns in student learning in only one learning style category: learning orientations.  For statistical analyses, Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis tests were used. No significant  differences were found with regards to department.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Redevelopment of sanitary landfills plays a major role in sustainable development,  providing economical, social and environmental benefits. A combination of rising land  values, a growing urban population, their needs for recreation activities and mitigation of  ecological impacts have encouraged the conversion of completed sanitary landfills into  functional golf courses. This study examines the reclamation problems of completed landfill  to golf course developments and the possibility of designing a sanitary landfill based on its  final use as a golf course. For this aim, a sustainable planning approach for landfill-to-golf  course adaptive use projects are discussed, which combines sanitary landfill and golf course  design processes and modifies them in a sustainable way.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Education for sustainable development is a process that gives much importance to create  a better, safer and a just world. It emphasizes the need for a new vision of education system.  Learning for sustainable development, critical thinking, and problem solving should be the main  concepts of this process and also the main principles of Theatre in Education movement. Edward  Bond, one of the most innovative voices of modern British drama and a leading dramatist who  writes for Theatre in Education movement, believes that theatre has a social, political and moral  purpose. For this reason he writes plays for educational contexts. His greatest aim to write plays for  young people is to enable children to understand themselves, the political society around them and  to create a just society. His play The Children (2001) shows a bleak vision of future for children in  an unjust society. This paper examines young people’s isolation in a technologised society and  shows Bond’s concepts of Theatre in Education movement for a sustainable development. ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[It is of vital importance for the finance sector and its pioneering child, the banking  sector, to boost and maintain competitiveness and market domination in a globalizing world.  In the Turkish banking sector, a significant progress has been made with respect to making  legal and institutional arrangements for regulatory and supervision authorities and  implementing and auditing decisions taken within the context of harmonization with the EU.  Due to increasing competition and rapid technological developments in the banking sector,  financial products and services have been diversified and new strategies and policies have  been implemented and rate of inflow of foreign capital has gathered momentum. It is  noteworthy that the Turkish banking sector has an oligopolistic structure and it has ratios  similar to the banking ratios of the developing countries that are EU members.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Enterprises should be able to know and appreciate different cultural environments  in order to be successful in international marketing. Companies in international marketing  should form their marketing activities by taking different cultural characteristics of different  countries into account. They should also perform the necessary adaptations to different  cultures in such activities as product, pricing, decision of distribution channel and promotion.  On the other hand, in adapting marketing activities to different cultures, Hofstede’s study  about cultural dimensions including avoiding uncertainties, individualism, power distance and  masculinity has guided many related researches. In this study, assessing Hofstede’s cultural  dimensions in terms of such products as internet, PCs and cell phones, and such socio  economical factors including GDP, urbanisation and literacy, the effect of these factors on the  acceptance of new products were analysed. The data were then interpreted with regression  analysis.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Stock exchange is a market where long-term investment instruments are purchased  and sold such as share certificates, bonds etc. Stock exchange market is divided into two;  developed and emerging stock markets. Developed stock markets are financial markets with  a great depth which display activity in industrialized countries and constitute international  financial market. Emerging stock markets are the stock exchange markets with a shallow  depth which display activity in developing countries. Istanbul Stock Exchange has a rather  important place among these stock exchange markets.  Emergence of the new capital markets, increase in financial liberalization and expansion of  flexible exchange rate regimes caused an increase in the examination of exchange rate and  stock exchange market. Developing economies that gradually abolished control on exchange  rate, paved the way for international investments and portfolio diversification.  Today, it’s seen that savers basically directs the funds in their hands to three instruments for  the purpose of investment. They are interest, foreign exchange and stock exchange market.  Investors who are the savers attempts to increase their returns in the maximum rate with the  portfolios they constituted from among these three instruments. When the literature is  examined, it’s seen that there are many studies which examined relation between interest and  stock exchange market from among these financial instruments. Result from these studies is  that there is a negative, that is, an inverse relation between stock exchange market indices and  interest rates. And purpose of this study is to see whether or not there is any long-term  relation between real efefctive exchange rate and IMKB-100 index (Istanbul Stock  Exchange), if any, to determine the direction of this relation.  In this study, three-month data of real effective exchange rate (REDK) and IMKB-100 index  for 1990-2005 periods have been used. Starting point of study is the year 1990. Its reason is  to test presence of long term relation between real effective exchange rate (REDK) and  IMKB-100 index by using long-term data that we could reach. Data sets used in study are the  values of indices and were received from Central Bank Electronic Data Distribution, Republic  of Turkey (EVDS). Long-term relation was examined and empirical findings were proved by  using Johansen-Juselius co-integration test (JJ). As a result of examination above, it was  ensued that ther was a long-term positive relation between real effective exchange rate  (REDK) and IMKB-100 index (Istanbul Stock Exchange).]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Although not convenient for the modern agriculture, local ecotypes are of  importance for being breeding materials since their genetic variations are diverse. Turkey is a  rich country in the number of forage ecotypes. Cultivation history of especially alfalfa,  common vetch, sainfoin, forage pea, chickling vetch and bitter vetch dates back to very  ancient times. However, these genotypes are facing to extinct today and their importance has  begun to be realized in the respect of sustainable and organic crop yielding as well as due to  the increased global warming and water shortage threats.
