    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[How Is the Market Size Relevant as a Determinant of FDI in Developing  Countries? A Research on Population and the Cohort Size]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The small size of the market in developing countries is associated with non-market  seeking FDI activities. Even though, GDP per capita is a poor indicator for the market seeking  FDI activities in developing countries, both population and GDP are crucial. The findings of  the study suggest that FDI is concerned with the size of market in developing countries not in  per capita basis but rather in aggregate size. More precisely, FDI will more likely focus on  regional areas rather than on an expansion through the country. In terms of cohort size, the  size of middle age cohort promotes FDI, and old and young age cohorts weaken FDI.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Determinants of Bank Efficiency in Turkey: A Two Stage Data  Envelopment Analysis]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Financial industry plays an important role in the economy and banks are  indispensable players in the financial industry. Therefore, the evaluation of banks’  performance became a popular research topic in all over the world, and also in Turkey. There  are different techniques to determine the banks’ performance. Among those techniques, Data  Envelopment Analysis (DEA), which is a non-parametric technique, has been widely used in  the banking sector. In this research, we analyzed the efficiency of Turkish Banking Industry  with Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) methodology between 2002 and 2007. All the banks  that constantly operated in the years between 2002 and 2007, excluding investment and  development, participation banks, get into the analysis. So there are four groups of banks in  the research, those are state-owned deposit banks, privately-owned deposit banks, foreign  banks founded in Turkey, and foreign banks having branches in Turkey. In the research  model, number of employees, interest expenses, non-interest expenses and total deposit are  determined as input, total credits, interest revenue and non-interest revenue are determined as  output. This analysis aims to explain the variation in efficiency scores with a set of  explanatory variables, such as size, ownership type, nationality, being publicly held.  According to results, the efficiency levels do not change very much between 2002 and 2007.  The efficiency scores reached top level in 2005 and 2006. The results of regression  application denote that all of the explanatory variables have a significant effect on banks’  efficiency levels. According to regression analysis results, size negatively affects the  efficiency levels of banks. Publicly listed banks operate more efficient than not publicly listed  banks. Foreign owned banks operate more efficient than their domestic peers. Furthermore,  state owned banks are less efficient than non-state banks.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The rapid changes  and transformations in science, technology and mass  communication have gave way to a new process. This recent phenomenon which made itself felt   in almost every part of human life has, at the same time, caused debates in western cultural life  on philosophy, literature, architecture, painting under the name of globalization. One  of the  debates was the one towards modern age under the domination of production and industrial   capitalism. The valid value of industrialization, the “production”, has left its place to a new   social understanding named “upper-reality”. This has emerged as a result of post-industrial  viewpoints. On the other hand, “similarity” replaced the “reality”of modern cultural values. The  process of globalization , again, transformed the aesthetic nature of cultural values into  commercial meta identity together with post-industrial approaches. As the globalized industrial  values made man mere consumer, there emerged the ideology of entertainment industry. This  process has both produced meta and created mass culture or popular values before individuality.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The system of mentoring has first been applied in England and is being used in  Turkey’s educational system, too. The aim of the study is evaluating the mentoring system of  Ataturk University, School of Education, and English Language Teaching Department in  training pre-service English teachers during their teaching experience at schools.  Questionnaires were applied to mentors, student-teachers and supervisors. Data have been  collected through questionnaires which include Lykert type items and collected data have been  analyzed statistically using mean scores of the participants. The purpose of this study is to  make student teachers and mentors aware of mentors’ importance in teaching experience, to  attract the interest of teachers who have never taken part in mentoring. The aim which is to  reach mass of mentors has been achieved. However, it is essential to state that this study is a  kind of starting point to develop new research in this context.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Computers and Internet have become a part of our life. Our dependence on these  technologies has been continuously and rapidly increasing. Computers and Internet use also has  become a necessity for instructional purposes in academic environments. Although the  widespread use of computers and Internet has many benefits for almost everyone, it has also  increased the use of these technologies for illegal purposes or unethical activities such as piracy  and privacy invasion. Taking these issues into consideration, the main purpose of this study is to  explore freshman students’ attitudes toward several issues of computer ethics. This study was  conducted using a survey method and data were collected among freshman students in the  Department of Business Administration at a public university in Turkey. Hypotheses were tested  for investigating whether age, gender and duration of computer usage in a week have a significant  impact on freshman students’ ethical judgments regarding computer and Internet usage.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[With worldwide demand for energy increasing every day, the development of new, clean,  renewable energy sources is critical to Earth&#039;s environment. To use clean-energy technology to help  developing countries improve their quality of life and economies. Turkey is an energy importing  country. Turkey     presently has considerable renewable energy sources. The most important  renewable     sources are hydropower, wind, solar, geothermal, and biomass. The use of renewable  energy as a topic to study energy and its forms permits a novel way to motivate students,  particularly those who energy topics taking conscience with the environment. We would like to  achieve this by looking beyond the schools’ curricula and by introducing modern environmental and  energy management methods in Universities and Vocational High Schools. This increases the  methodological competencies of students and facilitates their change from school to professional  life. Students play an active role in the systematic improvement processes of the schools and are  even eligible to be trained to become environmental auditors. The modern internet-based learning  methods and instruments are highly attractive for the students and instructors. ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[To Examine Sustainable Development Through The Historical Applications of  Foundations]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Sustainable development is one of the contemporary concepts. If we move  from today‘s definition of this concept, the solutions for the global problems can be  obtained from the foundation‘s applications in the past. Sustainable development concept  is generally referred to the 1987 report of World Commission on Environment and  Development. The Brundtland Commission reported the slogan, ―Our Common Future:  From One Earth to One World‖. The Commission conceptualized sustainable  development as ―paths of human progress, which meet the needs and aspirations of the  present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their  own needs‖. The goals of sustainable development are far-reaching and have as their  objective the transformation of contemporary development theory and practice. They  include the formulation of new paradigms of social, economic, political, cultural, and  ecological development. More and more rational approaches are improved to the concept  of ―development‖ which takes into account the long-term costs associated with short-term  improvements. The judicious use of the planet‘s non-renewable physical resources; a  balance between economic, social, cultural and physical development; and the realization  of fully integrated development strategies that bring together all relevant sectors and  actors into a common framework of local, national, regional and international action.  Foundations (Waqf) are Non Governmental Organizations. Current approaches to the  definition of a waqf includes; local administration and free economic rules in  management. In addition, democracy and volunteerism are essential for the definition.  These are weld from the Islamic law. Foundations with the social policy functions had  provided the continuity of social life. Waqf functions include almost all stages of social  life. Such as; increasing recruitment rates and employment, income and wealth  redistribution, social security formation, infrastructure development, expansion of  education… The aim of the settler, colleteur is the continuation of this functions for  infinitum. It indicates that they think not only for needs of future generation but also the  needs of all humanity. According to the facts mentioned above, economic and social  resources were available to all humanity. Community life has a constantly changing  dynamic character. We are the heirs of the finest examples of the foundation of  civilization. In other words, we as the heirs must attribute a new, fresh and modern  mission to the third sector or civil society organizations. Sustainable development  concept includes different dimensions. Such as ecological, economic, political, cultural,  social sustainability. This study‘s aim is to indicate that the applications of foundation  were serving the same purposes of sustainable development. The treatments applied  today to strengthen the social structure exactly overlaps with the services performed by  the awqaf throughout history. The given example in this case will emphasize the  importance of each term. The traces of good experiences are which created in the past  have lived for centuries. The orphans, widows, elderly people, children and the others  joined economic and social life through endowed charity. However, it is clear that  foundations must have found new solutions and different policy instruments for today‘s  problems.]]></dcterms:abstract>
