    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Do Private Savings Offset Public Savings in Turkey?]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The issue of whether public savings offset private savings, and visa vice, has important  implications for the effectiveness of fiscal policy. This study examines long-run relationship  between public and private savings rates using annual Turkish data for the period 1975-2005.  The result of Engle-Granger cointegration test has shown that there is no long-run relationship  between private and public savings ratios. However,once endogenously determined structural  break is allowed, the test results confirm the existence of the cointegration relationship  between private and public savings. Econometric estimation of the offset coefficients using  both FMOLS and DOLS yields values of between -0.11 and -0.82. The results also indicate  that the potency of fiscal policy significantly reduced with the liberalization of financial  markets.Keywords: Savings, Offset coefficient, Ricardian Equivalence, DOLS, FMOLS.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Do Size and Origin Matter?   Evidence from the Banking Market of Bosnia and Herzegovina]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This paper supports research activities related to the performances of banks in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Observing diversified, decentralized and inhomogeneous banking market of Bosnia and Herzegovina arises questions such as whether large banks are better than small banks or whether foreign owned banks are better than locally owned banks. The main purpose of this study is to compare banks of different size and ownership origin in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The dataset includes 162 bank-years data and 24 financial ratios. The results show that small banks in Bosnia and Herzegovina have significantly higher net interest margin and are better capitalized than large banks. Large banks, however earn almost double interest revenue per employee compared to small banks. Foreign banks are significantly larger compared to local banks. It is also possible to discriminate between banks of different size and origin based on their financial performance.   Keywords: Bosnia and Herzegovina, banking, profitability, efficiency, size and origin]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Needless to say that from a linguistic point of view a clear and cut distinction  between canonical and non-canonical expressions is to be made for language explanations  but especially for translation analyses, due to the fact that a good number of realizations  belonging to the Gray Areas (GA) of language may arise from recurrent combinations of  specific types of combined lexical items. The resultant lack of interaction between L1  propositions and L2 representations, identical or not, is often explainable and clarified by  the Error Analysis (EA) method. Data collected and analysed here for this presentation  have been chosen at hazard from different sources.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Asya’nın ortalarından gelip Dobruca’yı yurt tutan Tatar Türkleri,  beraberlerinde kültürlerini ve kültürlerinin yansıması dillerini de bu  coğrafyaya getirmiş ve kültürlerini ve dillerini burada geliştirip yaşatmaya  devam etmişlerdir. Tatar Türklerinin sözlüklerindeki her bir kelime onların  geçmişini aydınlatacak bir fener hükmünde olduğu gibi, onların çeşitli  mevzularda anlamı güçlendirmek, ifadeyi canlandırmak için kullandıkları  deyimler ve özellikle de atasözleri milletin geçirmiş olduğu safahatı gözler  önüne sermede yararlanılacak öncelikli kaynaklardan biridir. Bunlardan  hayvan isimleri ile kurulmuş atasözleri ise mazide milletin hayvanlar ile olan  münasebetini, milletin yaşantısını bunanla birlikte müşahede becerisini  yansıtması bakımından önemlidir. Daha da önemlisi bunların Tatar  Türklerinin çeşitli kavramlara karşılık bulmada soyutlama becerilerinin ne  denli olduğunu ortaya koymasıdır. Bu bildiride Dobruca Tatar Türklerinin  atasözleri taranarak elde edilen hayvan isimleriyle kurulmuş atasözleri ve  hayvan isimleri çeşitli açılardan değerlendirilecektir.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[DOCTOR APPOINTMENT BOOKING SYSTEM]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Access to timely and organized medical care is often hindered by inefficient appointment booking systems, resulting in scheduling conflicts, long wait times, and administrative burden. This project addresses these challenges by developing DocBook, a web-based doctor appointment booking system designed to improve healthcare accessibility and streamline the scheduling process for patients, doctors, and administrators.<br />
The system was implemented using a modular, role-based structure that enables patients to search for doctors, view profiles, book or cancel appointments, and make payments online. Doctors can manage their schedules and track appointments, while administrators are provided with tools to oversee users and system activity. Methods included designing user-centered interfaces, applying secure authentication mechanisms, and testing the system through automated end-to-end simulations.<br />

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Does (De)regulation Matter in Financial Crises?  Examining the Obama Administration&#039;s New Bank Plan]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The fact that financial crises have happened with regular intervals and probably  will happen in the future in much the same way has attracted great attention on the  dynamics of crises from scholars as well as policy makers, and causes and remedies have  been intensively discussed in the literature. Some have argued that deregulation of  financial markets have significantly contributed to the recent crises, and thus they very  much favor for sound regulation on financial markets, especially on big investment banks.  Conversely, the other view strongly disfavors the aforementioned vision, and supports the  liberal idea that the state should not intervene the market with any tool including the  regulation. The objective of this study is to analyze the dynamics of the recent crises,  investigate their causes, and discuss whether the states can be held responsible against  them in the sense of (de)regulating the markets and ensuring the stability of the system.  As a case study, the Obama administration&#039;s new bank plan is examined to shed lights on  the current discussion.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Does Language Influence Thought: Challenges for Intercultural Learning Environments]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The most important moment in child’s intellectual development is when speech and cognition begin to interact. The emergence of private speech, which would later become internalised, enables children to separate themselves from the immediate context, and to talk and reason about things that are not in front of them. Hence language and thought become separate, but interdependent entities.    The aim of this paper is to explore the way in which language influences thought as well as to provide important implications for intercultural learning environments with regard to Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, functional fixedness and word order people use in everyday speech. For Chomsky, there is no relation between language and thought, since the child is born with the foundation of universal grammar or language acquisition device. Contrary, Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf propose the idea that the form of our language influences the way in which we think. In this paper the overview of anthropological and psychological studies of Safir-Whorf hypothesis is used in order to analyse the impact different languages can leave on thought, actions and behaviour. Also the connection between different word order used by different languages is analysed with regard to its impact on behaviour. This paper seeks to explore impact object-final languages (English) and verb-final languages (Turkish) can leave on behavioural pattern agent-patient-act.     It is concluded that a weaker version of Sapir-Whorf hypothesis is supported by both literature review and case study approach. Also, language can affect ways in which students in intercultural environment learn memorize and reason; therefore it represents new challenge for educational practice.  ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Does Sector Make a Difference in HRM Practices?  Turkish Companies in Marmara Region]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[HRM discipline, occurring in 1920’s in the USA, has been predominant in the  USA and the European countries and there has been evolving phases throughout the 20th  century (Storey, 1989). It has been observed that the activities, objectives, dimensions, and  importance of the human resource function have changed dramatically since the 1970s  (Lundy, 1994). This is a result of social, political, economical, legal and technological  developments and the changes of work life, organisational features, labour. HRM functions  and practices are also affected by many other factors like national and organisational  circumstances (Andersen, 2000), sector, market type (Beer et al., 1984).  In Turkey, there is similar development. The Turkish HRM literature has a paralel rhetoric  especially to USA and Europe but the reality HR practices are not at the level that is told in  the literature (Ercek, 2006). The reality is different as a result of internal and external factors  effect to organisational structure and so to HRM functions. These factors are organisational  features, interpersonal relations, job’s features and personal characteristics are the internal  factors and external labour, external resources, rivals and regulators are the external factors  (Kaynak et al., 2000; Bingol, 2006; Sabuncuoglu, 2000), the current situation of the market in  which the company operates (Uyargil and Ozcelik, 2001). Also in Turkey organisational  structure (Ercek, 2006) and the number of employees (Çakmak et al., 2007) in other words  organisational size affect the HR practices and causes differentiation. Organisational size is  also one of the factors that determine the efficiency of HR practices (Aycan, 2001; Ozcelik  and Aydinli, 2006; Tanova and Nadiri, 2005).  The circumstances of the HR practices in Turkey must be investigated more (Ercek, 2006).  This paper starts from this point and will investigate if sector is an important factor that affect  HRM practices.  This paper critically explores if sector makes a difference in HRM practices and according to  this aim the research will be based on questionnaires conducted within companies of  manufacturing and service sectors who have HR departments in Marmara Region of Turkey.  The data gained from the questionnaires are analyzed statistically using SPSS 17.00.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Does Turkey’s Stance on Iran’s Nuclear Development  Program Reflect an Axis-shift in Turkish Foreign Policy?]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The world is being nourished with tremendous development in technology,  which causes the greatest destruction of civilization from the intrinsic  civilization itself. It is believed that nuclear weapons states hold a handful  of nuclear arsenals, strong enough to eradicate completely life on earth.  With the experience of the devastating atomic bombs marking the end of  the Second World War, it is not difficult to say that the whole world is  shaking when there is any state attempting to develop nuclear armaments.  In the case of Iran recently, different approaches and resolutions have  been discussed. Consequently, several of them have been implemented, in  order to prevent the Islamic Republic from pursuing nuclear arsenal,  despite Tehran’s discourses on her intention to have her own nuclear  program for peaceful and civilian purposes. Turkey, as an active regional  player, reflects her position on the issue via the state’s foreign policy. That  Turkey has been hesitating at complying with the West’s sanctions on Iran  poses not only questions but also confusion among the international  community. “Does Turkey’s stance on Iran’s nuclear development program  reflect an axis-shift in Turkish Foreign Policy?”  This paper seeks to answer that question, by analyzing the context that  endorses the Iranian nuclear program in pursuance of nuclear technology,  and by focusing on the discourses offered by the Iranian and Turkish  representatives to the international community concerning the ambiguities  of the Iranian nuclear development program.  In contrast to much in the literature which perceived Turkey as a  moderator, this paper argues that Turkey is more like a facilitator, besides  proposing mediation grounds like the previous Baghdad and Moscow  sponsored mediations between the US/EU and Iran. From this perspective,  Turkey’s stance seems clear in supporting the idea that instead of imposing  sanctions, the West must think of other effective ways to resolve the  nuclear energy. In other words, Ankara believes that diplomatic talks and  negotiations shall be continued and attributed to Iranian nuclear debacle.  Overall, this paper concludes that Turkey’s decision of no sanctions on Iran  does not indicate that Turkish foreign policy is anti-Western. Rather, it illustrates Turkey’s growing independence as a regional power and  flexibility in decision-making process with regard to her own interests, such  as gaining image in the Middle East with the new foreign policy doctrine,  less independence on Russian energy imports by Iran’s alternative, and  prioritizing domestic solutions, while not upsetting the West’s mutual  interests.  In addition, this study will contribute to the existing literature on the part  of the explanation of Iranian diplomacy with regard to the religious  understanding of “taqiyya” (deception) and “qitman” (concealing).  Keywords: Nuclear Program, Iran, Middle East, NPT, Turkish Foreign Policy,  Western Orientation, Axis-Shift.]]></dcterms:abstract>
