    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Changing Educational Comprehension, Assessment of the Transition  Process from Library to Internet and Turkey as A Specimen]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[There are different ways to acquire knowledge in the present educational system.  This system aims to improve student’s research abilities, and is not concerned on the place  where the knowledge is acquired, but the way it is acquired. This present educational system  is basically centered in instructing the student in the class and telling him to make some  researches on the topics given instead of just teaching that actually requires student’s passive  learning. This method has brought the lack of library use. With the student centered active  learning that gives strong emphasis on research it was expected that libraries would win back  its former sign finance. Never the less this time libraries face another threat: internet.  In this research we will examine the extent changes in and change of research process. While  libraries became out of fashion day by day, we will assess how internet preferred for  efficiency could affect using public survey we will try to reach changes in acquiring  knowledge and changing roles of teacher\instructor and student in the context of educational  institutions.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In the past three decades, awareness of the companies towards the environmental  issues increased because of new regulations and increased public awareness. In order to satisfy  the public demand and accomplish the legal obligations companies initiated using environmental  friendly technologies and made changes in their manufacturing processes and material usage.  Implementation of environmental friendly manufacturing systems brings additional costs to the  companies. In this study the classification of environmental costs in small and medium sized  enterprises (SMEs) are discussed and previously suggested environmental costs classification  system for SMEs were applied to a middle size printing and packing company. The share of  environmental management cost of the company was calculated as 2.7% of annual expenses  while the average annual cost of environmental investments were about at the level of 0.6%. In  the main part of this study, we discussed how environmental costs are being done varies in a  number of respects and applications for a selected type of work sector, how they can be grouped  or classified, and what could be the magnitude of the environmental investment to fulfill new  national regulations established.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Substantial developments in wine and grape markets worldwide have resulted  in a gradual increase in vineyards planting. This case synchronously increased the  demand for grape planting materials. Environmentally healthy applications in the  production of vigorous planting material are basic subjects of adaptation in sustainable  agriculture. In this study, effects of HerbaGreen (a 100% natural product containing  40% CaO, 4% SiO2, 1% MgO and 1% Fe2O3 in 1 μm granules) spraying on shoot  development characteristics of one year old grape rootstocks 140 Ru, 99 R and 41 B  were investigated during nursery production in glasshouse. HerbaGreen pulverization  resulted in the formation of longer shoots across the rootstocks, varying from 51.4 cm  (99 R) to 53.4 cm (140 Ru) while shoot lengths of the control plants were 35.6, 38.5 and  39.1 cm for 41 B, 140 Ru and 99 R, respectively. Besides, certain vegetative features  such as shoot development level and lateral shoot number were also improved by  application, depending on the responses of genotypes. General observations suggest that  HerbaGreen would be beneficial in production of robust saplings by accelerating  vegetative development without environmental hazard and therefore would be  recommended to use in sustainable viticulture practices.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This study focuses on computer assisted language learning and the  attitude of the learners who are enrolled in French department at Uludag  University. A total of 42 learners in French programme at Uludag University  participated in the study as subjects. They were given questionnaire in pre-test and  post-test at the beginning of the academic period and tree months later to observe  whether there were any changes in their attitude towards computer assisted  learning. The data were collected in the 2009-2010 education-instruction year. The  data obtained in the study was analysed using the SPSS statistics computer  programme. It was also found out that the CALL method supported with the  language learning programme was more effective in positive development of  achievement levels of learners. The results exposed that there occurred positive  changes in the attitudes of the subjects towards computer assisted language  learning during three months. Although most learners accept changes in teaching  delivery and welcome the enrichment provided by new educational tools, some  refuse them. Differences in learning styles exist, and will continue to exist, and  cannot be dismissed.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[One of the most crucial problems in the world is global warming. In recent years mean  temperature values are rising and downfall values are indicating substantial deviations as to years  and months. Even small changes in climates affect many sectors. The leading sector affected by  global warming is tourism sector. Tourism is one of the sectors in Turkey developing in the fastest  way. Numbers of tourists visiting Turkey have been increased beginning from 2000 and exceeded  27 millions in 2009. Tourism revenue of Turkey has passed over 16 billions dollar. A large  number of different sectors such as transportation, food and construction are connected with  tourism. Tourism sector is very interested in temperature rise and prolonging of summer season. In  sea tourism it is expected an expansion to west and north regions of Turkey as well as south  shores. Extreme summer hot will set off immigration from seaboard to uplands and hinterland as  well as increase water and electricity consumptions. Less cold in winter season, delay and decrease  of snowfall will affect winter sports centers negatively. In this study positive and negative effects  of climate changes caused by global warming on the tourism sector which one of leading sectors in  Turkey are discussed.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Role of Energy Economics in Sustainable Development]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[For a growing country, the most needed stimulus is energy. Without any access to  adequate energy resources it is hard for a growing country to sustain economic development.  Especially after the 1973 Oil Crisis, the importance of energy resources has been well  understood. Most of the developed countries took measures to avoid the undesirable effects of  reliance on these energy resources since then. This page of the history has contributed the  most to the evolution of the modern day energy economics field. Thenceforth the developing  and the developed world rang the changes to manage their energy policies effectively.  Sustainable development on the other hand - most broadly - implies the effective use of  resources aiming at development not just for present but also for future generations. As  effective managing of the energy policy would entail reaping benefits in the long run, energy  economics becomes a field with crucial role in sustainable development. Therefore, this paper  promotes the effective use of energy resources for a growing country from both perspectives  of energy economics and sustainable development.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Outside the Homeland of the Turks Economic Potential of The Diaspora]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Ethno-national diasporas occur from the homeland to one or a few countrıes that  accept guests mandatory or voluntary migration. These type of groups stay in the country  permanently. Diaspora is an ethnic unity that was created by people migrated by force or  voluntarily from the same ethnic origin of individuals in one or more countries to protect their  personal rights ts and to avoid losing their own identity. Diasporas, which were created for this  purpose at first, have become effective even in the administration of the country where they  exist, especially by gaining economic power. In the beginning of the purposes of the  diasporas, it comes not to lose their own identity and to secure them to get a regular  relationships with their home countries no matter where they live and no matter which country  they belong to. The possibility of foreign investment presented with this bond is so important  that it functions a lot in the development of the country. The possibility of foreign capital  which is offered by diaspoara is an important action in the development of home countries.  Countries have used the economic power of the diasporas with different instruments,and the  most common instrument is the diaspora debenture. Dispoara bond is a debenture which is  giyen to a country by a sub-dominant party or a private company to increase funding from the  diaspora abroad. It is an important source for the developing countries that various diasporas  of countries whose citizenship they accepted and their financial situations increases quickly. If  the flow of forein currency claims to set diaspora income in a way of regular basis, the  interests of the bond issues that from the hard money(currency) is a way to raise capital  abroad. Up to this day, Israel and India have reached 35-40 billion dollars by bringing these  bonds out. In this context, when the situation in Turkey is examined, especially Europe and  European Union countries must be taken into consideration primarily. Today, in European  Union countries, approximately 4.2 million Turkish citizens are living; it is nearly 5.7 million  with the new countries participating in the European Union. Annual per capita GDP of this  population is approximately 19.700 Euros. In addition, 80.7 billion Euros in 2006, Turkish  people contributed EU GDP 80.7 billion euros. In European Union countries in 2006, there  were 101,000 Turkish entrepreneurs with Turkish origins who had invested 10.9 billion euros;  they had 43.9 billion euros giro and provided employment for 474,000 people. Taking this  data and the coming footsteps of successful examples of Turkish Diaspora in Turkey into  account, we can create a growing economy and political power to be able to make signifıcant  contributions. The aim of the article which was prepared from the movement of the thesis is  to show that one of the instruments which can be used in supplying the foreign capital is the  power of diaspora. When the diasporas of Israel and India are taken into consideration,  emphasizing especially on that economical diasporas have an important place is the  demonstration of the power of Turks who act like a diaspora and live in Europe.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The objective of this paper is to investigate the sustainability of current account  imbalances by using the data of five ASEAN countries, namely, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines,  Singapore and Thailand over the 1981-2008 periods. Sustainability of current account for ASEAN  countries is analyzed under intertemporal borrowing constraint (IBC) approach by performing an  empirical analysis of Pedroni (1999) panel cointegration between exports and imports plus net  transfer payments plus net interest payments. The empirical results of panel cointegration test  show that these variables are cointegrated for whole period and two sub-periods. To find  regression coefficient we use panel FMOLS and DOLS estimators. It is found that the coefficient  is not significantly equal to one but very close to one. The overall results provide evidence in  favour of the sustainability of the current account for five ASEAN countries as a group.]]></dcterms:abstract>
