    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In order to determine the impaction of financing to corporate performance,  Guangdong Province family owned listed corporation family businesses is selected to  describe a sovereign form of economic organization throughout the world in terms  of contributions. Because of the coincidence of family business failure and the  importance of family business within national and local economies, a large percent of  family business literature is allocated to the issue of succession. In mainland China, the  family, as the basic social unit, has recently regained its importance in economic  activity. Starting from the exacting case of a family business located in Guangdong  province, this article reviews the practices that reign in the succession of the  management of companies. Following this case study, a questionnaire was drawn up  and submitted to 15 family businesses. Chinese companies can continue to endure or  not, depends on its ability to carry out bold economic reforms and to what extent the  characteristics of Chinese companies and originality play. A survey inquiry is used as  the research instrument. The results prove that psychosocial needs are more often  associated with the potential successors‘ intentions to take over family businesses than  other factors.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[It has been hypothesized that the cross-linguistic influence is one of the main reasons for the difficulties learners face while learning a second language or reaching academic learning outcomes. Therefore, we decided to conduct a study and find out to what extends differences and similarities, markedness, native language transfer, avoidance, first language influences, underuse and overuse are present between Bosnian and Turkish students who study at universities where the lectures are mostly conducted in English. Two main languages taken into the consideration as L1 are Bosnian and Turkish, whereas L2 is English. The main purpose of the study is to analyze the cross-linguistic influences of Turkish and Bosnian while learning English language and to point out its importance for learning a second language. The paper itself can be used as a useful resource for the future researches done on the language subject in linguistic.]]></dcterms:abstract>

ABSTRACT  A method for simulation of wind flows, which is based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach, is tested in a region with complex terrain. For the region adopted, limited measurements of wind velocity and direction exist, and are used as the input data for specification of boundary conditions. The resulting flow field quantities (wind power density and turbulent kinetic energy) are shown, indicating the parts of the region which are suitable or unsuitable for wind turbine positioning. The method employed offers a number of benefits for efficient and reliable estimation of wind resources.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[A Chronological Perspective on the Studies of Turkisms Conducted in Balkan Languages]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Turkisms in the Balkan languages continue to be an essential research subject since Karadzic published the first Serbian Dictionary in 1818. Turkisms studies have been compared to countries where the studies were published, the researchers&#039; nationalities, and the studies&#039; languages in tables. We have evaluated total of 1392 research in this study. Turkism researchers published the highest number of studies in the Turkish and Bulgarian languages. Turkisms in six Balkan languages were published in 17 languages by researchers from 21 nationalities in 35 different countries. While evaluating the studies, they have been handled in five different periods according to the Balkans&#039; significant political events during the last two centuries. We have classified studies according to 33 subtitles under four categories. These four categories are detection and collecting, classification, evaluation and analysis, and current frequency measurement and revitalization of Turkisms. The method used in this study is the same as the method used by Yücel in his six published bibliography studies. Turkism studies classified are based in this study on Yücel&#039;s six studies given in the bibliography.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Speech accidents can also be evaluated by some psychological constraints as some of  the interfering effects of the producing some sounds may cause slip of tongue in the codingencoding  process. Such an error is the result of the transposing of initial sounds of two words;  what&#039;s more, spoonerism as a linguistic deviation refers to the speech errors of L2 learners while it  can also be related to the ones of native speakers. Especially errors in the verbal production of the  L2 learners stem from some slips of tongue, which hinder the intended message as a result of some  psychological conditions, and sometimes they may convey unintended humorous meaning codes.  Spoonerisms of the L2 learners are tried to be explained by a psycholinguistics perspective. In this  context, the linguistic conditions that sanction the slips of tongue will be explained through  cognitive processes.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Welcome to the Special Issue of Journal of Economic and Social Studies (JECOSS). While JECOSS aims to embody interdisciplinary areas such as economics, business administration, public administration, political studies, international relations, labor economics and industrial relations, econometrics, sociology and psychology, this Special Issue focuses on contemporary economic issues in the Balkans and is titled as &quot;A Comparative Analysis of Current Economic Development in the Balkan Countries&quot;..  The Balkan Peninsula (South Eastern Europe) is an important area where both important historical and political events are taken place for the centuries. It has also recently experienced an unprecedented transformation. Over the past two decades, the Balkan Countries have gone through very important economic, social and political changes. Some former socialist countries (Bulgaria-2007, Slovenia-2004 and Romania-2007) and Greece (1981) have become full members of the EU. Some other Balkan countries (Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo and Macedonia) have experienced fierce political conflicts which ended up with the wars in the region in 1990s. Following the turmoil, these countries have started to struggle for economic, social and political reconstruction process. In the war and during economic and politicaltransformation, many of the Balkan countries had economically declined. Their welfare levels had gone down.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Key words: teachers’ perceptions, curriculum, ELT, reading classes, literature use  ABSTRACT  This study was conducted to determine whether English language teachers’ perceptions, attitudes and practices about the use of literature depending on their educational background, ELT or Literature, vary during their teaching practices in reading classes. Several curriculums of English Language Teaching (ELT) and English Language and Literature Departments of some private and public universities at undergraduate level have been compared to see to what degree they differ in their curriculum; the percentage of literature and related courses among these programs. And to what extent these differences in undergraduate programs lead to different practices in reading classes.The study also aimed to reveal the advantages and disadvantages of incorporating literature into ELT from teachers’ perspectives depending on their educational background. The study was conducted with 120 preparatory class instructors working in private and public universities in Istanbul. The data were collected through a questionnaire and were evaluated on SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences). The findings have revealed that teachers, whose language practices or experiences about teaching come from different educational backgrounds, tend to take a different approach to using literature in their reading classes. The findings also have revealed that teachers with a literature background believed in the benefits of using literature and literary works on improving the overall language proficiency, improving reading skills, contributing to vocabulary development during their reading classes. On the other hand, the findings have revealed that teachers with an ELT background mostly did not believe in the necessity of using literature as part of their reading classes. And those with an ELT background who believed in the necessity of using literature in their reading classes did not see themselves competent and did not feel confident in using literature.]]></dcterms:abstract>
