    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[ASKING STUDENTS TO READ IN CLASS: APPLYING  NEW IDEAS IN TEACHING READING]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The present study is an attempt to increase the amount of reading time of twenty two intermediate students in class. Six students at a preparatory school of Suleyman Sah University, Istanbul individually participated in a structured interview which focused on their possible reasons for not being able to read articles till the end in class. The qualitative data has revealed that these students have similar common reasons for not being able to give their full attention to their reading activities in class. The reasons were identified as; having large amount of unknown words in the texts, boring and uninteresting topics of the texts, long texts and not having prior knowledge about the topics of the texts. These possible reasons have led to new innovations and students have demonstrated a high level of concentration. It is clear that without discovering learners’ needs, it is not possible to attract their attention and motivate them to read.  However, teachers should decide what serves best for the reading purposes of their particular student groups, and thus design materials accordingly.    Keywords: EFL reading, learners’ needs, increase time of reading, motivation, design materials.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The paper presents an overview of the aspect of story in the narrative of novels written by Paul Auster, a contemporary American writer. Starting from the theoretical basis set by Shlomith RimmonKenan in her study Narrative Fiction: Contemporary Poetics, where narrative fiction is observed from three aspects (story, text and characters), the paper will try to investigate the first of them (story) in Auster&#039;s novels written in the period from 1985 to 2009. That will be done through two parameters, also set by RimmonKenan: events and characters, which will be discussed, analysed and further subdivided at the level of the entire mentioned corpus of novels. Some general conclusions will be made at the end of the paper.    Keywords: Paul Auster, narrative, story, novel, events, characters.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Education in our country must take into account cultural diversity. Diversity in  which we live can be regarded as a source of conflict as well as wealth, that problem (that  needs solving), but as resource (generating development). This diversity requires special  education policy that addresses the relationship between people belonging to cultures and  different ethnic groups. Multicultural and intercultural education is of particular interest.  The difficulties of social policies in different systems can be overcome if social reality  known and accepted. A social life quality is not possible other than understanding,  dialogue as a means of resolving the conflict, ability to open to other cultures and  understanding differences as richness.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Stupanjem Lisabonskog ugovora na snagu 2009. godine, te uspostavom Evropske službe za vanjsko djelovanje (EEAS) 2010. godine, Evropska unija je poduzela potpuniji korak u definiranju svoje vanjske politike, konkretnijeg djelovanja u okviru međunarodnih odnosa te jače institucionalne organizacije u zastupanju svoje vanjsko-političke ideje. Bosna i Hercegovina kao potencijalni kandidat za članstvo, zbog svoje historijske i političko-pravne uređenosti, predstavlja velik izazov za vanjsko-političku i sigurnosnu praksu Evropske unije. U ovom radu nastoje se predstaviti perspektive i smjernice Evropske unije u definiranje vanjske politike prema Bosni i Hercegovini u proteklom periodu te naznačiti mogući odnos EU prema BiH u kontekstu vanjske i regionalne politike. U tom kontekstu obrađuje se uloga visokog predstavnika Unije za vanjske poslove i sigurnosnu politiku u procesu normalizacije političkih problema u BiH. Kroz analizu međunarodnog odnosa EU sa BiH, nastoji se odgovoriti na pitanje položaja BiH kao interesne sfere u domenu trenutne vanjske politike Evropske unije. U radu se razrađuje i shvatanje interesa EU za Bosnom i Hercegovinom kao sigurnosno-stabilnom zemljom u regiji, ali i buduće višedimenzionalne saradnje Unije i BiH do konačnog stupanja u članstvo. U konačnici, rad nastoji predstaviti utjecaj uspostavljene vanjske i sigurnosne politike Unije na BiH u njenom napretku ka evroatlanskim integracijama.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <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:title><![CDATA[Assessing democracy in post-parliamentary elections 2013 in Albania]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Recently, there has been a growing interest in the reforms being taken by the Socialist Government in the Republic of Albania, in terms of deepening and promoting a ‘good sustainable democracy’ in the country after two decades of rocky, challenging democratic transition. This majority came in power after the overwhelming victory in the parliamentary elections held in June 2013 being credited in compliance with the European standards in terms of reliability, fairness and political honesty.    This paper will evaluate the effectiveness of this ‘successful political rotation’ towards establishment of a governmental accountability tradition with regard to equal, respectful and fair job chances to every official of the public administration sector, which has been the most sensitive corrupt and over-trodden segment as highlighted by the Socialist electoral rhetoric. The research analysis will demonstrate that despite the elections triumph results, the Socialist Government is pursuing and even deepening the democratic deficit in respect of rule of law, and in particular in compliance with the civil status of public administration officials that have to be hired based on professional meritocracy instead of political affiliation be it right or left wing.     In order to achieve this analysis, we refer to social constructivism theoretical framework to explore, identify and analyze the specific features of Albanian society, its cultural identity, and its economic context; in addition, we refer to democratization literature on challenges of fragile democracies. Finally, having drawn an objective picture of the current link between the newly elected decision-makers and the social-economic circumstantial factors, we highlight the democratic deficit and provide policy recommendations towards establishment of non-politically biased public administration a very significant component for the integration process of the country.    Keywords: Democracy consolidation, rule of law, public administration]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Assessing In the Credibility of the Company for Loan Application]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The banks are financial institutions that provide loans not only for physical persons but also to the legal entities or companies. The credit analysis of the company as borrower of the loan must determine the credibility of the company in order to establish the level of credit risk. The credit analysis includes character, capacity, capital, collateral and conditions of the company, in this case the borrower. The purpose of this thesis is to develop appropriate model which will raise a focus on the financial and non-financial criteria crucial for assessing in the credibility of the company for the loan application. There are varieties of reasons why companies take out bank loans: to purchase equipment, real estate or inventory, to expand their operations, to increase their working capital, to reinvest, or to repay existing debts, etc. The bank loans can be expensive and risky for a certain company, thus many companies take that risk when it comes to financing their business operations. I will try to show which criteria, including both financial and non-financial, is crucial in assessing in the credibility of the company. I will also attempt to empirically verify my model, using Analytic Network Process in combination with scoring model, in order to improve the decision-making regarding the approval of bank loan for a certain company. The bankers must respond to the demands of their clients who seek for the loans and in the same time discover the factors which must be taken in to account during the whole assessment of the loan application. Before any actual analysis of loan application, the banker must have answers to the following questions: the quality of the borrower and of the given information; the purpose of the loan; the amount to be approved; and the source of the repayment of the loan.  The data which will be used in this thesis is information and data collected from books, websites and journals. The data which will be used is company’s three-year-period financial statements as well as non-financial data such as credit history, the character and the structure of the company, the resources and circular-flow of activities. For evaluating this data, it will be used Scoring model, which represents a multidimensional instrument for evaluating alternative actions. An essential advantage of scoring model is to assist in decision-making in a systematic procedure to solve the problem, so it significantly contributes to the rational decision-making process. As a comparison to this model, it will use Analytical network process (ANP), which is used in multi-criteria decision analysis.
