    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: In this study the customers’ loyalty of company Volkswagen will be discussed.  The issue is very attractive, since the company was facing crisis being accused  for software cheats on pollution checkouts. Since they are present in Bosnia and  Herzegovina for many years, and some parts were produced on this area, it is suitable  that market of Bosnia would be researched to check how strong loyalty of customers is.  The survey was created in order to collect data. In three parts of capital city Sarajevo  (Sarajevo City Center, Grand Center and Old Town) people were randomly surveyed.  Regression analysis was done, where trust in brand was dependent variable. We  found that trust in brand is positively related to brand loyalty, discovering that Bosnian  customers are loyal to Volkswagen. Studies like this can be done in other countries as  well, helping Volkswagen to rebuild trust in customers who were affected by this crisis]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Branding B&amp;H - Sarajevo as a Touristic Destination]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[At a time when B&amp;H is on the one of the lowest levels of development in  Europe, and when most of economy branches are undeveloped, it is very  hard to say what should be considered as starter of economic  development. We decided to consider tourism sector as a field that could  contribute the most, and as a field that has biggest chances and  opportunities to increase economic well-being of people in B&amp;H. Tourism  industry is one of the most important industries in the world, especially in  Europe. Its contribution to total worlds GDP is about 7,5%, engages more  than 75.000 employees that is about 7% of total world employment, more  than 750 millions of international tourists arrive all around the world in  2011 and all these indicators increase every year.  B&amp;H has all conditions to become tourism oriented European country. It is  found in heart of Europe, on intersection of important communication and  transportation roads. It has all necessary natural and social resources,  favorable climate, geographic and geomorphologic conditions, to have  good developed tourism sector. But for progress of any branch of economy  good strategy and clear goals must be defined. In this research branding of  BiH / Sarajevo will be taken as starting point of this progress.  Keywords: Brand, Destination Branding, Image, Globalization, GDP.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The paper focuses on a thoroughly pervasive logical and linguistic device – framing. We will see how framing is performed in the discourse of satire and how it contributes to the humorous effect thereof. The analysis will be done on a very specific satiric corpus i.e. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Throughout the end of the paper it will be shown how humor arises with the breaking of frames (Goffman, 1974), and consequently leads to successful satire. Stemming from the very nature of the corpus in question, a latenight TV show, three instances of breaking frame were determined: linguistic, logical, and visual.     Keywords: frame, breaking frame, satire, cognitive linguistics, GTVH, humor research, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Hepatic coma, also known as hepatic encephalopathy, is loss of consciousness as a result of  liver failure. Hepatic coma represents the final stage of hepatic encephalopathy - grade IV, a  progressive brain dysfunction due to accumulation of substances toxic to the brain. Hepatic  coma can rapidly progress and may ultimately lead to death. Therefore, early diagonosis of  hepatic coma is consirerably crucial for patients‘ life. If not, patients with hepatic coma can  die in few days. In this study, I have proposed to overview early diagnosis of hepatic  encephalopathy by breath analysis using electronic noses which are regarded as rapid,  inexpensive way of gas detection.  Keywords: Electronic nose, hepatic coma, sensor arrays, neural Networks.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Budget Deficits and Democracy: The Case of Turkey]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[There is a vast body of literature on the political economy of budget  deficits. These studies used different models to explain the political  motivations behind budget deficits. There are some studies to explain  the budget deficit in developed countries and assume that budget  deficit is an expected outcome of fiscal policy in democratic countries.  However, the studies have come to conclusion before analyzing  whether the democracy affects budget deficit or not. To our  knowledge there have not been many studies to explain whether the  level of a country’s democracy affects budget deficits or not. In this  paper, we will show a country’s level of democracy has a positive effect  on budget deficit using a single country: Turkey. This research based on  a time series analysis covering 35 years between 1975 and 2010 by  using VAR (Vector Autoregressive) method. Our results suggest that  Turkey’s level of democracy has indeed effects on budget deficits. We  also find evidence that before the local election is held governments  uses expansionary fiscal policies in order to increase the reelection  probabilities.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Sustainability of budget deficits is one of the most important macroeconomic problems in  most countries. High public spending and insufficiency of public revenue are main reasons  collapsing of Greek, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Ireland economies. For this reason, the  conservation of budget balance and sustainability of budget deficits have a great importance.  In this study; in selected 20 European Union countries and Turkey, the sustainability of  budget deficit was analyzed with via under cross-section dependence panel co-integration  analysis. At the end of the analysis; cross-section dependence was determined in these  countries. Therefore, an economic shock which will come to one of these countries, affects  the others, too. For this reason, the shocks that have been come to series don’t eliminate in the  long term Co-integration relationship couldn&#039;t found between these series. Consequently, it  has been seen budget deficits of these countries were unsustainable in the long term.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This research focuses on sociolinguistic aspects of education reform in the Gulf  Cooperation Council Countries (GCC) region and the strategies by which the  achievement of ‗linguistic convergence‘ and corresponding ‗cultural convergence‘ or  ‗optimal convergence‘ can enhance in-service teachers‘ Continuing Professional  Development (CPD) participant learning. This professional reflection, situated within the  evolving context of reform underway in Bahrain, is based on research conducted at the  Bahrain Teachers College (an autonomous professional college founded in 2008 within  the University of Bahrain) during 2008-2010. The data, gathered from in-service CPD  modules with mid-career Bahraini teachers, includes a wide range of practice-based  sources including surveys, interviews, focus groups, and observation.  Managing the shift from externally-prepared in-service CDP, toward contextualizing the  materials, curriculum, and program delivery to the cultural, social, and educational  environment of Bahrain is challenging. Developing ―ownership‖ of new approaches to  learning, can make effectively localize the training at the classroom level. The data  points to ways that balance the learning needs of local in-service teachers with the  internationalizing imperatives of multinational education consultancy:]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Building Awareness of Discourse Structure Through Teaching Reading  Strategies in English for Legal Purposes Class]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Research has been carried out for several decades on what makes some  students more successful in foreign language reading than others. It was established  that good readers possess greater awareness of discourse structure, meaning they are  able to recognize the signalling mechanisms which give clues to the ways the text is  organized (Grabe, 2009). Discourse structure awareness is seen as a type of  metalinguistic awareness which also includes knowledge of reading strategies and  their appropriate use in order to resolve reading problems and properly interpret text  information.  Our research was based on the following hypothesis: explicit teaching of reading  strategies in English for Legal Purposes class will enhance students&#039; awareness of  discourse structure as well as reading comprehension. The data was collected  through the SORS (Survey of Reading Strategies) questionnaire (Mokhtari &amp;  Sheory, 2002), a reading comprehension test developed for this research and a semistructured  interview to check how students perceive the reading process and  discourse structure before and after strategies instruction. The data was analyzed  using descriptive statistical procedures and the results fully confirmed our  hypothesis: the subjects (N=20) achieved better results on the reading  comprehension test and reported easier identification and interpretation of discourse  markers.]]></dcterms:abstract>
