    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[4;0-5;6 Year-Old Turkish Children&#039;s Usages of Event Types]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Key words: event types, states, activities, acquisition  ABSTRACT  While language development emerges together with cognitive development, cognitive development is quicker than language acquisition. In another words perception develops before production in language acquisition process. In this study the kinds of verbs children produce will be analyzed, while they retelling the cartoons shown so that it will be determined that the reflection of perception into production of utterence in terms of verbal kinds and verbal diversity.  According to Langacker (1987a) and Smith (1983) there are a number of conceptual differences between acts and states (Frawley, 1992). States are static, with no dynamics and no internal structure whereas acts have physical or mental motion, dynamics and sometimes internal structure. Acts are categorized as activities, accomplishments, achievements and semelfactives (Smith, 1991).  This study is aimed to assess the usages of states and activity types of verbs in the narratives by the children whose mother tongue is Turkish. It’s known that each six-month-period is important and has distinctive features in language acquisition and production. So 8 subjects were randomly-selected from 4;0-5;6 years of age preschool children whose mother tongue is Turkish. The study is mainly based on direct observation, content analysis and statistical analysis. Subjects watched three cartoons of Tom and Jerry and then were asked the question “What is happening in these cartoons?” Narrative data were transcribed and compiled using Microsoft Excel 6.0 and then all event types were analysed and categorised as activities and states according to Smith&#039;s classification (1991).  Major findings are as follows:  • The children’s age is parallel to the number of events and event diversity.  • The children used activities more than statives depending on both the cartoons’ having patterns of motion and children’s generally acquiring acts before states due to the utterance time.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[60The Relationship between Growth and Tax Revenues in Croatia]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In all countries, the main purpose of taxes is to finance public spending. However, according to Keynesian school, governments apply for the taxes not only for public funding, but also for achieving the objectives of fiscal policy. Recently, politicians have used the taxes as a tool to ensure the economic stability, equality in income distribution and economic growth. Among these objectives, economic growth refers to the net increase in national income. Traditional growth theories have failed to explain the growth using capital accumulation and labor. But, new endogenous growth theory investigates also the impact on growth of the public policy. Different taxes have different effects in the economy. If taxes examine as direct and indirect taxes, the first effect of indirect taxes on economy is related to resource allocation through the price mechanism. The first effect of direct taxes such as income and corporate tax is on saving and investment decisions of individuals. The rates on these taxes should be lower for decisions of economic agents. The high taxation of this earning has led to the badly affected of labor, capital and technology located among growth factors. As a result, entrepreneurship can be reduced; saving and investment decisions can be influenced negatively. On the other hand, the taxation of capital may also lead to balance of payment problems in country by leaving the country of capital. Investment and saving are the main tools of growth. Therefore, the use of taxes for providing economic growth is extremely important. The relationship between economic growth and taxes is discussed in many studies.     The share of total tax revenues to GDP in Croatia is 14.8% in 1991, 22.97% in 1996, 22.4% in 2000 and 18.6% in 2011. GDP growth rate is 5.2% in 1996, 3.75% in 2000 and -0.92% in 2011 respectively. In this study, the relationship between growth and tax revenues is analyzed by using Johansen Cointegration and Causality tests in Croatia between 1991-2011 periods. Johansen Cointegration test results reveal the existence of a positive and significant relation between growth and tax revenues. In the long term, the impact of taxes on growth is significant and positive. Granger causality test findings indicate that there is causality from growth to tax revenues in the 10% significance level.    Keywords: Tax Revenues, Growth, Croatia, Granger Causality Test, Johansen Cointegration]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[A “positivist” overview on Anna Seghers’ novel “Transit” ]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The German literary works that deal with the separation of Germany in World War Two are not much deeply examined in Turkey for political reasons as such works concentrate on the deficiencies of nationalism. The aim of this study is to examine this work from a positivist perspective, which explores the relation between author’s life and the work considering the work is inspired by the life of author. Therefore, the present study is to investigate if there is any close relation between Anna Seghers experiences she lived during her escape from Germany to France due to Nazi concentration camps and her novel “Transit”. Anna Seghers is one of the famous German authors that suffered from what happened during World War II in Germany, notably from Nazi camps. She always tried to express her feelings and her own experiences that were lived in those days in her works. Her well-known novel “Transit” explores the plight of German refugees from Hitler attempting to leave France via the seaport of Marseilles between the French capitulation in 1940 and the Spring of 1941. As in other works, Seghers uses a language in this work that depicts the tragedy of the victims and infinite confidence in the human essence which can never be destroyed. The novel “Transit” can also be seen as the critique of the decadent Western World and the writer’s plea for political commitment. ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Steganography techniques, which are a set of data hiding algorithms utilizing  mathematical methods, have revealed significant advancement by means of latest computing  technologies. Although many distinct steganography techniques have been suggested and  implemented, an ideal solution has not been reached so far. The primary objective for  steganography is to achieve a secure data transfer through a communication channel without  attracting attention of unauthorized third parties. Since encryption methods do not meet the  steganography requirements, a couple of data masking methods are also required. The  performance of a steganography method can be assessed with the statistical similarity between  cover media and stego media. In this paper, we have developed a blind steganography  technique based on Human Vision System (HVS) using visible light wavelength approach. The  proposed technique maintains virtually imperceptible alterations in the stego-video by means  of the HVS approach. In addition, the technique developed does not require the cover video in  the recovery phase so that it provides more secure manner in many types of applications.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[A BRIEF PORTRAYAL OF MELANCHOLY IN E.A.  POE’S “THE RAVEN”]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Edgar Allan Poe expresses his groundbreaking ideas on writing the best piece of art in “The  Philosophy of Composition”, one of his most particular essays on the issue. He suggests that length, unity of  effect and a logical method that drives the writer to use whatever he/she can utilize emotionally to convey  the desired effect are important considerations for a well designed writing. “The Raven” was first published  in the New York Evening Mirror in 1845, and since then it is one of the most discussed, performed,  criticized, memorized and televised poem in American literary tradition. Although more than 150 years have  passed since the first publication, the poem still preserves its fame in literary circles and continues to pierce  through the imaginations of all generations, urging them to study on it. Regarded as one of the most wellknown  American poets in 19th century, Poe is famous for his dark, gloomy, sensational style and mentally  haunted characters in poetry as well as in short story. Therefore, in this study, we tried to explore Poe’s  aforementioned aspects of writing a piece of art by dismantling the poem’s plot, setting, characters, symbols,  musical language and other fantastic elements. In consequence, we will try to specify how melancholy and  dreary mood are accomplished in “The Raven” by means of the poem’s structure and style. By this feeling,  we will go through “The Raven” also highlighting how the poem’s peculiar feeling of terror easily lures even  the stoniest natures.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[A case of Textual Analysis Applied to the University Offerings of the New Courses in Italy]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The paper is based on a descriptive study of the lexical words used to redefine students’ curricula at the academic communities, in order to improve the quality and the employability of the degrees. The textual analysis was applied on about 990 forms, filled up by the universities to plan their courses and collected in the national database of the Ministry of University and Research, public and available on line (http://offf.miur.it). Thus, focusing on a representative sample of the major public universities by number of students, a multidisciplinary corpus of the offerings of the new courses of the academic year 2011/12 was assembled in accordance with the four areas of disciplines: health, humanistic, scientific and social, for about 62.970 occurrences (tokens).    The study aims to achieve the following findings: check the vocabulary of the corpus and provide the measure of lexical richness, based on the ratio of type, token and the proportion of infrequent word, and identify the key-words of the corpora using the co-occurrences criteria. Results, relating to the key-words, highlight that there are evidences of widely using of terminology to describe the need to develop the soft skills and the interdisciplinary competencies, as required by the local and professional market to improve the employability of the degrees.  ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[A Case Study of Electronic Government Adoption]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Electronic government initiatives in Bosnia and Herzegovina are still in its  infancy and facing many issues and challenges. Therefore, the main goal of  this study is to gain a better understanding of these issues and challenges  by examining the adoption and diffusion of ‘e-government services’ from  the citizen’s perspective at the local municipal level.  Sixty nine usable responses were obtained from one hundred surveyed  citizens with permanent residency in the Centar Municipality Sarajevo. The  participants were asked about their perceptions of different aspects of egovernment  services provided by their municipality.  The results are encouraging. The citizens of Centar Municipality Sarajevo  perceived their municipal e-government system as useful, easy to use, and  having a high level of information quality. Consequently, they were willing  to use e-government, particularly for accessing laws and by-law acts, filing  state taxes, ordering birth, death and marriage certificates, renewing  drivers’ licenses, registration and shopping. However, they were not in  favour of using internet for online voting.  Keywords: Electronic Government, Local Government, Case Study,  Municipality Centar-Sarajevo]]></dcterms:abstract>
