    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[An Analysis of the Contents of the Studies Carried Out on the Relationship  between the Strategy and the Performance of the Organization]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The aim of this research is to analyze the methodology used in the papers that deal  with the relationship between strategy and business performance in the last decade. In this  context; it is intended to determine the fields of study on which the papers focus, the research  methods and data collection techniques used and the findings achieved, and to compare and  contrast the findings obtained with the methods of research used. In this research, a qualitative  research method was used and the data were acquired through literature review. The data  acquired were put to content analysis and they were analyzed within the theoretical framework  formed in accordance with the objectives of the research. The main restriction of the research is  that the academic papers only in the data bases of Emerald and Sciencedirect were included in  the research. Within this, 15 papers in both data bases mentioned were reviewed. The findings of  the research indicate that the papers reviewed have been published in 10 different academic  journals and they focus on 6 different fields. Furthermore, quantitative research methods were  used in 11 of total 15 papers whereas qualitative research methods were used in 4 of them.  Questionnaire technique was chosen to collect data in the papers in which quantitative research  methods were used. On the other hand, while literature review was mainly preferred in the  papers in which qualitative research methods were used, case method was used in one of them.  The results of the research point out that the papers have similar findings although they have  used different methods, and it has been found out that there is a positive relationship between  strategy and business performance in the consequence of each paper.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Analysis Of The Factors Affecting The Women’s Cosmetics Consumption In  Terms Of Sustainability]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Women‘s effort to seem more beautiful may as older as the beginning of the  history. Though ―beauty‖ concept varies from culture to culture, the use of cosmetics became  almost a global consumption behavior. The reason is that ―beauty‖ products fulfill the inner  desires, fantasies and dreams of women. In addition to the widespread use of the cosmetics by  women, some of that kind of products causes various debates concerning sustainability  because of the factors as non-natural, non-recyclable or tested on animals etc. Moreover a  growing number of companies are looking to recognize the role of sustainability as an integral  part of their marketing strategy. Therefore, the study aims at examining the factors, including  alcohol, hypoallergenic and UV protection, which are expected to stimulate women‘s  cosmetics consumption and the level of customer knowledge of women for cosmetics on the  basis of logit regression model.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Effects of the Children Under 8 Years Old on Their Families’ Food  Purchasing Decision]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Family factor, one of the social factors affecting the purchasing behavior, is regarded to  be the most important factor giving direction to the purchasing decisions. In every period of the  life, the consumption patterns of an individual cannot be isolated from his/her family‘s  consumption patterns.  The reason why the present study is limited to the foods is that children are the direct consumers  of foods and foods have an important portion in the consumption expenditures of families. And the  reason why an upper age limit (8 years old) is set up for the study is that this age is considered to  be transition to having purchasing decisions on their own.  In the field work, food purchasing was divided into sub-categories because the study aims to  reveal the extent to which children affect purchasing decisions in each sub-category. Moreover,  for each sub-category, other factors that can affect the purchasing decisions and that are not related  to children were also investigated, in this way, the real influence of the children is expected to be  found.  As purchasing decision is a qualitative data with two possibilities, there can be many independent  variables that have the potential for affecting dependent variable; therefore, here ―sequenced logit  model‖ will be used to evaluate the findings of the study.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The Euro-Mediterranean Partnership, formerly known as the Barcelona Process,  was re-launched in 2008 as the Union for the Mediterranean at the Paris Summit for the  Mediterranean in July. The Partnership now includes all 27 member states of the European  Union, along with 16 partners across the Southern Mediterranean and the Middle East.  A Union for European with countries in the Mediterranean region seeks to promote  accelerated economic growth. The aim of re-launching is to infuse a new vitality and to raise  the political level of the strategic relationship between the EU and its southern neighbors. In  this context, six priority projects are also identified in this meeting. Main focus of the Union  for the Mediterranean is to deal with energy, security, counter-terrorism, immigration and  trade. Creation of a Euro-Mediterranean free-trade area will also impact on the environment  and agriculture in the region. This paper reviews the literature and statistically evaluates the  future of Union for Mediterranean in terms of regional cooperation.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Legal and Financial Regulations to Create New Investment  Opportunities in Macedonia]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[As a small, open economy, Macedonia continues to take active steps to attract  foreign direct investment (FDI). The country has enacted legislation that not only ensures an  equal footing for foreign investor‘s vis-à-vis their domestic counterparts, but also provides  numerous incentives to attract such investment. The legal system in Macedonia is undergoing  substantial reforms. However, it is still slow, inefficient, lacking the adequate resources, and  sometimes subject to political pressures and corruption. Enforcement of the law and upholding  of contracts is inconsistent and not always impartial. This paper examines the legal changes in  Macedonia and its effect on FDI from the historical perspectives and forecast on strategic  management changes simplifying the administrative decisions on investment. New legal and  administrative regulations on investment incentives for FDI and business regulations will  provide a new momentum for the economic development of this EU candidate state.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Analysis of individual genotypes aims to provide information for  understanding within population genetic parameters such as genetic similarity,  polymorphism and heterozygosity. The aims of this research were to determine the  genetic parameters within Güney Karaman sheep involved in a protection programme of  gene resources by using randomly oligonucleotide primers via Randomly Amplified  Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) method.  Among the primers tested, 10 most suitable ones, in terms of repeatability and  scorability, were used and 1451 DNA fragments were scored. All the RAPD fragments  were determined to be between 600 - 3000 bp in size. From 147 fragments, 133 were  polymorphic (90.48%) and 14 fragments were monomorphic (9.52%). Within  population average genetic similarity (Fragment Sharing Frequency, Fxy) and genetic  distance were calculated as 0.7001 and 0.2991, respectively. The average expected  heterozygosity was estimated as 0.3273 ± 0.1697.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Research activities have been taking on place for new construction materials  in order to produce more effective constructions. One of the new technological  materials is Pultruded Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) materials. High tensile  strength, lightweight and non-corrosive properties allowed GFRP to become a  competitive alternative to traditional structural materials. Having resolved fundamental  manufacturing constraints through the development of the pultrusion process, the mass  adaptation of GFRP sections as primary load bearing elements have been used in a  number of civil engineering applications.  In this study; compressive strength and flexural properties of hybrid use of GFRP  profile with concrete have been investigated. The tests applied on the specimens  including plain concrete, GFRP box profiles and concrete filled GFRP profiles to  demonstrate the advantages and importance of GFRP profiles used in civil engineering  applications.]]></dcterms:abstract>
