Abstract
The wind turbine system is one of the most competitive sources in the field of renewable
energy technologies. In many possible applications, a small power plant based on a renewable
energy can be a good solution under both the environmental and economic point of view.
Vertical axis wind turbine types have an important role in small-scale power development.
This wind power plant would allow the reduction of electric energy consumption from the
grid and the increase of the amount of renewable energy use. The large wind turbine market is
mature and it is the product of several extensive researches. Wind turbine market is being
developed to improve the efficiency, performance, and cost effectiveness of the turbines. The
end goal of this development is to gain a position for wind power as a competitive alternative
to fossil fuels. Among all renewable energy technology of different kinds, wind energy
technology has many advantages such as extensive distribution, high efficiency, low cost, low
maintenance, environmental friendliness, economic improvement and environmental
characteristic that it stands for the most popularized and potentially applicable type of green
energy. In many applications, wind is already competitive with conventional options for
generating electricity. In this paper, thermodynamic analysis consisting of energy and exergy
terminology and environmental impact factors for wind turbine systems are investigated, and
parametric studies for efficiency of wind turbine system are given for different ambient
conditions such as wind speed and huge tower high. The relationship between the actual
energy generated from the wind turbine and the wind speed characteristics are investigated for
sustainability of wind turbine system. Also, important outputs for wind turbine system, such
as maximum relative output useful energy and optimal rotational speed corresponding to
different wind speeds, are estimated to improve the system performance. By multiplying
normalized power by maximum relative output power for the wind turbine system, the
relative output power is calculated.
Keywords: Renewable energy, wind energy, thermodynamic analysis, environmental analysis,

1. Introduction
It is expected that by 2050 the world energy demand will be significantly increased. In
addition, due to global problems caused by greenhouse gas emissions, the world also needs
low emission and low-carbon energy suppliers to eliminate air pollution. Therefore, a lot of
countries in the world have expressed their views on alternative energy resources, such as
sustainable solar energy, safe nuclear energy, clean hydrogen economy, ground source heat
pumps and geothermal energy, bio-energy, wind energy, hydro-power and wave energy.
Suitable renewable energy policies need to be developed for effective use of available
alternative sources. Wind energy is a prime example of a sustainable energy resource.
Because it is a non-polluting source of energy during power generation, it has no emissions or
residues to burden society.
The dominant type of modern wind turbine is the upwind, horizontal, 3-blade turbine variety,
where the rotor axis is parallel to the wind direction and the blades are arranged perpendicular
into the wind direction [Manwell et al., 2011]. The wind turbine system consists of a
foundation, a tower, nacelle and three rotors attached to a hub. The three blades are attached
to the hub, which is attached to the shaft, which is eventually connected to the generator. The
blades are shaped like aircraft propellers, but are considerably larger, and hollow; an absolute
premium is placed on the strength to weight ratio and flexing properties of the blades [Veers
et al, 2003]. The type of wind turbine selected for installation at the sites examined should be
designed for moderate wind speeds, have as tall a tower is as practical, and as large a blade
diameter as is possible.
Entropy production based on design and exergy analysis of the wind turbine system is shown
to identify the maximum theoretical capability of system performance in power production
applications. Exergy analysis is very useful for improving a wide range of energy conversion
systems. Exergy analysis also provides a design tool for increased accuracy and more efficient
performance.
However, there are few examples in past literature [Sahin et al., 2006(a); Sahin et al. 2006(b);
Ozturk, 2011] that pertain to wind exergy. Through an energy and exergy analysis of the
characteristics of wind energy, it was found that differences between energy and exergy
efficiencies are approximately 20-24% at low wind speeds and approximately 10 - 15% at
high wind speeds [Sahin et al., 2006(a)]. Sahin et al. [Sahin et al., 2006(b)] have developed a
useful exergetic analysis technique for determining the exergetic efficiency of a wind turbine.
The technique utilizes the wind chill temperature associated with wind velocity to predict the
entropy generation of the process. Better turbine design and location selection can be
achieved with the aid of such exergy analysis. Ozturk [2011] have estimated wind power
potential for Turkey, and provided suitable data for evaluating potential wind power
production by using the wind data collected at 23 different wind-monitoring stations in
Turkey. The author has used the energy and exergy analyses of wind power for estimating of
the wind power potential in these areas. Exergy analysis of wind power has been investigated
according to air temperature and pressure at inlet and outlet of wind turbine; energy generated
and heat loss from wind turbine. Also, energy and exergy analyses of wind power and
capacity factor, energy and exergy efficiencies at 10, 25 and 50 m have been calculated for
these wind-monitoring stations.

In this paper, some results of the application methods of the thermodynamic analysis based on
the second law of thermodynamics for reducing the exergy losses in the wind turbine system
are investigated for better system design. In addition that, some parametric studies for
produced energy, exergy destruction, energy efficiency and exergy efficiency of the wind
turbine system are investigated for varying wind speeds. The other outputs of this paper
should be given as follows;
 To develop an advanced Engineering Equation Solver (EES) software code and carry
out parametric studies for wind energy system components.
 To calculate the exergy content of the proses including the physical or flow exergy for
the system.
 To determine the exergy destruction rate and exergy efficiency of each system
component.
 To perform a complete parametric study and the performance assessment of the
system.
2. Thermodynamic Analysis
General thermodynamic assessments involving the energy and exergy balance equations, and
energy and exergy efficiencies are given to analyze wind turbine improvement potentials. In
the most general viewpoint, a balance equation for a given quantity in a process should be
written as follows;
(1)
Eq. (1) is supposed to as the quantity balance for the process, and should be given as
quantity accumulated in a process is equal to the difference between the net quantity transfer
through the system boundary plus the quantity generated and the quantity consumed within
the system boundaries.
2.1 Energy Analysis
Wind turbine blades capture a fraction of the kinetic energy from the air passing the turbine
blades and convert this into electric energy [Manwell et al., 2002]. The mass flow of air
moving past the blades should be given as follows;
(2)
where  is density of the air (kg/m3), A is the swept rotor area (m2) and Va is the velocity of
the air flowing past the rotor disk (m/s). The air density changes with both ambient
temperature and altitude, and should be calculated by the specific air gravity viewpoint as
follows;
(3)
where s is the standard air density, and taken as 1.225 kg/m3 for ambient temperature and
pressure at 15 °C and 1 atm, respectively, TR and TS are the absolute reference temperature
(15 °C) and space average air temperature, respectively, PR and PS are the absolute reference
pressure (1 atm) and space average air pressure, respectively. The space average air pressure
varies inversely with height above the sea level, and should be calculated as follows for
altitudes less than 5000m [Manwell et al., 2002];

(4)
The kinetic energy of flowing air can be calculated as;
(5)
The kinetic energy per unit time through the rotor disk is the power of the air flow, and
should be given as;
(6)
Also, it can be calculated as follows using the Eq. (2);
(7)
This is the basic law that applies to extracting power from moving air. Also, Eq. (7)
should be given in terms of the rotor radius (R).
(8)
Air is a compressible fluid. Therefore, all of the kinetic energy cannot be extracted
from the air passing the turbine blades. The maximum quantity of the produced energy which
can be extracted through a wind turbine system from moving air is represented using the Betz
limit, which has a value of 16/27 or nearly 59.26% [Spera, 1994]. But in practical application,
the best that the most blade designs can achieve is nearly 50%, and this performance usually
changes with wind speeds [Walker and Jenkins, 1997]. Also, this performance indicator is
given as the rotor power coefficient (Cp). Eq. (7) can be written as follows by incorporating
Cp ;
(9)
At high wind speeds, the effect of Cp usually is determined by changing the pitch of
the turbine blades. Therefore, the turbine blades become less performance at converting
moving air into rotary motion. When the wind speeds are too high, the turbine rotation is
stopped by adjusting the blade angles to an aerodynamic braking position. Capacity factor
(CF) can also easily be found as the ratio of the annual average power generated and the rated
power of a turbine as follows;
(10)
where Ereal and Erated are total energy generated and maximum annual rated energy by the
wind farm, respectively, and they can be given as follows;
(11)
and

(12)
where Prated is maximum rated power of a turbine, Nturbine is number of turbines in the farm
and ttotal is number of operational hours in a year.
2.2 Exergy Analysis
Exergy analysis based on the second law of the thermodynamics can support to create the
strategies and managements for more economical and effective use of energy sources, and is
utilized to study wind energy system. The sources of the irreversibility and proposed
approaches to increase the whole efficiency of the given system should be considered by
using exergy analysis. Exergy content of matter is generally divided into four parts which are
physical exergy (exph), chemical exergy (exch), kinetic exergy (exk) and potential exergy (exp).
Therefore, general exergy balance equation per unit mass should be given as follows;
(13)
where exke, expe, exph and exch are the kinetic, potential, physical and chemical exergy,
respectively. In this paper, kinetic, potential and chemical exergies are negligible, as the
elevation differences are low, speeds in the process are small and there is no chemical
reaction. In general, physical exergy is represented the maximum effective work available as a
process interacts with the environment. Any substance of which the temperature, pressure or
composition is different from the thermodynamic equilibrium with the surroundings (thermal,
mechanical and chemical) has the possibility to produce a change. The physical exergy or
general flow exergy of the
flow is given as;
(14)
where subscripts i and o show the ith flow rate and reference condition flow rate, respectively,
h is the specific enthalpy and s is the specific entropy, respectively. Enthalpy difference can
be given as follows;
(15)
where Cp,a is the air specific heat in (kJ/kgK), T1 and T2 are the wind chill temperature at the
input and output to the wind turbine blades, respectively. Wind chill temperature for the
turbine can be given as follows [Nelson et al., 2002];
(16)
where Ti,wind-ct is the wind chill temperature °C and V is the wind speed in km/h at 10 m
elevation from the ground level. Output wind speed (V2) should be calculated as follows
[Abed, 1994];
(17)
The entropy changes for the wind turbine system are consisting of the total entropy of
the system and surround entropy difference [Szargut, et al., 1988].

(18)
or
(19)
Heat losses per unit mass from the rotor blade of the turbine system should be given as
follows;
(20)
From Eq. (15), the total exergy of wind power can be expressed as;
(21)
Total exergy of the wind turbine system should be written as follows;
(22)
Also, exergy destruction rate for the wind turbine system can be given as;
(23)
2.3 Thermodynamic Efficiencies
The thermodynamic efficiencies of the design system should be considered through the first
law of thermodynamics (energy efficiency) and both the first and second laws of
thermodynamics (exergy efficiency). Energy and exergy efficiencies of the system
components and whole system should be given for detailed thermodynamic analysis.
The energy efficiency ( ) of the system should be given as the ratio of useful energy
produced by the system to the total energy input. The useful produced energy represents the
desired results produced by the system components. The energy efficiency for the single
production should be written as follows:
(24)
The exergy efficiency ( ) of the process should be defined as the divided of exergy
output rate (
) that is created by the considered system to the overall exergy inlet
rate (

) that is cross the boundaries of the system, as follows;
(25)

The exergy efficiency for the process should also be given in terms of exergy
destruction rate as the following;

Using the derived equations, a model is generated by using Engineering Equation
Solver (EES). With the help of this model, the system performance and emissions are
investigated by varying a series of input conditions.
3. Results and discussion
The main production characteristics of the wind turbine system are given in Table 1. In this
paper, the ambient temperature and pressure are given as 25 °C and 1 atm, respectively. For
the useful energy production from the chosen wind turbine system, wind speeds from 10 m to
50 m above the ground level are from 5 to 12 m/s. Higher wind speeds create axial forces
which are liable to damage the wheel, the transmission and support of the machine. This is
very important to take special protective measures in the design of the wind wheel sub-system.

Thermodynamic analysis and environmental assessment of the wind turbine system are very
important in terms of the view for sustainable developments. To achieve for these aims,
measured and calculated parameters according to the average values of the wind turbine
system are shown in Table 2. These design parameters are measured wind speed (ms-1),
measured time in a year (hyear-1), wind speed percent (%), capacity factor (Cp), mass flow rate
(kgs-1), available power (kW), useful power (kW) and produced power (kWh/year). For this
paper, using the energy analysis which given in this paper, available power and useful power
for the wind turbine system are calculated as 1364 and 1603 kW respectively for 11.5 ms-1
wind speed. But, produced maximum power from the wind turbine system is calculated as
47739 kWh/year at 6.5 ms-1 wind speed. The maximum and minimum capacity factors of the
wind turbine system are obtained as 0.35 for 7.5 ms-1 and 0.18 for 2.5 ms-1 wind speed,
respectively. This indicates that capacity factor is depended on the measured time in a year
and wind speed. Also, high mass flow rate for the wind system produces high available power
and useful power, respectively. The electricity produced is zero below the 2.5 ms-1 cut-in
wind velocity.

The results of the energy and exergy analysis, including the energy and exergy
efficiency, and exergy destruction rate for the wind turbine system are reported. It is shown
that, the inlet and outlet exergy flows of the system are mainly attributed to the wind speeds.
Produced energy (kW) and energy efficiency of the wind turbine system based on the
measured wind speeds are given in Figure 1. It is seen that, produced energy and energy
efficiency for the system changes between 1364 to 7729 kW and 0 to 26.72%, respectively, at
different measured wind speed, and maximum energy efficiency is obtained for 6.5 ms-1 wind
speed, considering inlet and outlet pressure differences for the system.

Exergy analysis of the system has an important role in evaluating wind energy technology.
Also, the exergy destruction rate is another important matter to be emphasized because the
study of irreversibility can help to identify where the work or energy lost during the operation.
Various factors identified in the design section can influence both the energy and exergy
efficiencies of the wind turbine system.

Exergy destruction rate (kW) and exergy efficiency of the wind turbine system based on the
measured wind speeds are given in Figure 2. Increasing of the measured wind velocity
decreases the energy and exergy efficiencies because the net energy inlet to the wind turbine
increases. Furthermore, maximum produced energy and exergy destruction rate are produced
as 272.4 and 1331 kW, respectively, at 11.5 ms-1 wind speed. Higher exergy destruction refers
high inefficiencies or irreversibilities occur in this system. Exergy efficiency of the system is
more meaningful than the energy efficiency since it gives right magnitudes for the losses to be
determined. It is suggested that exergy efficiency should be used for wind energy evaluations
and assessments, so as to allow for more realistic modeling. In the general manner, the exergy
efficiency of the wind turbine system is based on the turbine type, such as horizontal or
vertical, rotor radius hub height and local wind speed.

4. Conclusions
Wind turbine system can make significant supports for energy production due to their
potential for high efficiency as well as low operating costs and greenhouse gas and pollution
emissions. Environmental problems such as fossil fuel depletion and climate change upgrade
the advantages and significance of wind turbine system performance. In this study, energy and
exergy analyses are carried out for the wind turbine system to evaluate the system
performance and exergy destruction rates. Exergy analysis of a wind turbine system is given
based on the thermodynamic quantities, such as enthalpy and entropy productions. Therefore,
exergy analysis has a significant role in evaluating wind turbine system. The differences
between the energy and exergy efficiency is very important for analyzing of the energy
conversation. It is suggested that, exergy efficiencies can be used for wind energy evaluation
and assessment, so as to allow for more realistic modeling, evaluation and planning for wind
turbine system. Exergetic assessments of wind power system provide more meaningful and
useful data than energetic assessments for engineers and wind energy companies before
making decisions.

                <text>The wind turbine system is one of the most competitive sources in the field of renewable  energy technologies. In many possible applications, a small power plant based on a renewable  energy can be a good solution under both the environmental and economic point of view.  Vertical axis wind turbine types have an important role in small-scale power development.  This wind power plant would allow the reduction of electric energy consumption from the  grid and the increase of the amount of renewable energy use. The large wind turbine market is  mature and it is the product of several extensive researches. Wind turbine market is being  developed to improve the efficiency, performance, and cost effectiveness of the turbines. The  end goal of this development is to gain a position for wind power as a competitive alternative  to fossil fuels. Among all renewable energy technology of different kinds, wind energy  technology has many advantages such as extensive distribution, high efficiency, low cost, low  maintenance, environmental friendliness, economic improvement and environmental  characteristic that it stands for the most popularized and potentially applicable type of green  energy. In many applications, wind is already competitive with conventional options for  generating electricity. In this paper, thermodynamic analysis consisting of energy and exergy  terminology and environmental impact factors for wind turbine systems are investigated, and  parametric studies for efficiency of wind turbine system are given for different ambient  conditions such as wind speed and huge tower high. The relationship between the actual  energy generated from the wind turbine and the wind speed characteristics are investigated for  sustainability of wind turbine system. Also, important outputs for wind turbine system, such  as maximum relative output useful energy and optimal rotational speed corresponding to  different wind speeds, are estimated to improve the system performance. By multiplying  normalized power by maximum relative output power for the wind turbine system, the  relative output power is calculated.

Abstract
The main objective of this paper is not only to explain and discuss managerial problem
known as „I and company are the same“, but also to propose adequate solution that
will be beneficial for managers in their practice. By using literature review
methodological approach, several factors that are strongly related to this problem have
been identified. Beside power and influence as important factors to consider, there are
so called „shadows that leaders fail to recognize“, that are responsible for misleading
manager to the point where he identify company by himself. At the end, there are
guidelines based on specific literature which are useful for avoidance and solving this
problem.

Introduction
Intention of this paper was to emphasize both, the positive and negative side of leadership
in business by paying special attention to the later. To realize this, literature review has
been prepared and the work was divided into three parts. Since topic is closely related to
companies, and this essay is not only about management, but about leadership as well, in
the first part of reflection paper, differences and also inseparable linkages between leaders
and managers were emphasized. For one company, having a good manager is of great
importance, but having a leader is its competitive advantage. In the second part you will be
able to discuss the power as strength and power as threat for a company. This issue leads to
two faces of leadership, positive one, and dark one. In the last, third part, we explained
how dark side of using power can lead to the point when manager thinks that he/she and
company were the same. This point is example of mature stage of improper usage of power
in business, and it represents huge managerial failure. Also, this paper proposes solutions
and advices for how to avoid such a failure, and how to become great manager by being a
good leader.
Literature Review
Paper written by Patrick A. Duignan (1988) is paper that discusses management as an art
or a science? This article argues very strongly that management is, in fact, an art, and
raises interesting distinctions between management and leadership. Maybe the most
important part of his work which contributes to this paper is sub title „Management and
Organisational Structures Can and Should Facilitate Leadership“ in which he stated that
through the organisational structures, and the management processes and procedures,
leadership act finds concrete expression (Patrick A Duignan, 1988).

Leadership is present in all aspects of management. Sonny Nwankwo and Bill Richardson
(1996) discussed Quality management through visionary leadership and concluded that
visionary leaders focus on quality, and exemplify the critical leadership competence in
quality management, as a basis for successful strategic development (Sonny Nwankwo and
Bill Richardson, 1996).
Inseparable linkage of leadership and management has been discussed always and from
various perspectives of different authors. However, some concepts remained unclear. From
1988, we go to new literature written after second millenium (after 2000) and see this fact
in reality.
Hester Nienaber (2010) wrote a paper with purpose to explore the concepts of management
and leadership. He founf through literature review that the concepts of management and
leadership are intertwined. Accordingly, the word “management” has French and Italian
roots, while the word “leadership” has Greek and Latin roots. He stated that in essence,
these words are synonymous. All of the tasks fall within the boundaries of management,
while leadership tasks overlap with management. Unlike management, leadership has no
distinct task that falls exclusively within its boundary (Hester Nienaber, 2010).
Prudence A. Clarke (2009) discussed the differences between management and leadership
within the project environment. His paper highlights the need not only to understand the
difference between project management and leadership, but also to use this differentiation
in the identification, assessment and development of project services providers and as an
integral part of organisational and people development for all companies involved in
sponsoring, supporting or delivering projects (Prudence A. Clarke, 2009).
According to Erwin Rausch (2003), there are eight questions that provide comprehensive
system that can help managers to become more competent as managers, and as leaders.
Those questions are simply about goals, communications, participation, competence,
satisfaction, cooperation, norms and reviews (Erwin Rausch, 2003).
Leadership vs. Management
Since the topic of this paper is closely related to companies, and companies are managed
by managers, we will firstly go through definitions, differences and inseparable linkages
between managers and leaders. If we refer to comprehensive definition by Gary Yukl who
said: “Leadership is a process of influencing others to understand and agree about what
needs to be done and how to do it, and the process of facilitating individual and collective
efforts to accomplish shared objectives.”, we will recognize some managerial functions
within of it. Process of influencing others to understand and agree, for managers can mean
motivating employees to perform well, making sure that each one of them properly
understand his/her duties, have skills and knowledge to achieve their job related tasks. The
last part of definition which says that leadership is a process of facilitating individual and
collective efforts, from managerial perspective would be providing support in terms of
equipment, trainings and everything else they need to be effective and efficient. Also, the
fact that in the book “Leadership in Organizations”, Yukl is using terms “leader” and
“manager” as synonyms, shows inseparable linkage between these two. According to
Ricky W. Griffin, management is set of activities consisted of Planning and Decision
Making, Organizing, Leading and Controlling. Those whose primary responsibility is to
carry out mentioned activities are called managers. After we defined these two terms we

188

�International Conference on EconomicandSocialStudies (ICESoS’13), 10-11 May, 2013, Sarajevo

can conclude that every leader is a manager, but not every manager is a leader. Leadership
is of great importance for management because they are connected and complementary. Of
course, there are some differences between managers and leaders. According to Yukl,
while managers value stability, order, efficiency and plan in the short-term, leaders value
flexibility, innovation, adaptation and they plan in the long-term. However, all of
mentioned characteristics are important in specific situations and specific life cycle stages
of every organization. In the end, we can conclude that having a manager with leadership
characteristics is great advantage for every company.
Power and influence, strength or threat?
Yukl stated that power refers to capacity of one party (the “agent”) to influence another
party (the “target”). Since there are different sources of power, there are different types of
power as well. Managers can have power by their position (legitimate, reward, coercive,
information and ecological) and person (referent and expert power). Each one of
mentioned power types can be used in good and bad way and manager has to know exactly
where to use specific type of power, and how much to use. When it comes to manager’s
intentions, power can be used for wealth of organization, but also for personal wealth. This
opens a door to discuss two sides of leadership, or “Two faces of leadership” as John B.
Washbush and Christine Clements say in their article. In the abstract, they mentioned
psychologist David McClelland, who mentioned two types of power in his studies of
managerial motivation: egoistic (using others for personal gain) and social (facilitating
group cooperation and effort for the achievement of the general good). John B. Washbush
and Christine Clements also said that leadership as influencing skill can have positive and
negative results, and because of that it is not good always to define it as „doing the right
thing“. Authors defined the positive face of leadership as the one who necessarily involves
moral purpose. Dark side of it is of course the opposite and it refers to situations when
agent with personal power seeks to use position and charisma for personal gain. Important
thing to bear in mind is that leadership is instrumental in promoting social good, but it can
lead to social disaster as well. Most often, theory and education focuses only on positive
side of leadership, and dark side is being neglected. As John B. W. and Christine C.
mentioned, bad decision making, frustration, dysfunctional organizations, unintended
consequences, wasted resources, ruined careers, organizational decline or dissolution are
not always accidents, they are very often consequences of leadership's dark side. Parker
Palmer (1994, pp. 25-6) was emphasizing need to inside the leaders and prepare them
spiritually firstly, and than focus on development of their skills to manipulate external
world. Unfortunately, most of leadership development programs neglect spiritual
preparation, and create threats for companies and society.
Shadows that leaders fail to recognize
In the essay Leaders, Fools and Imposters written by Kets de Vries (1993), it is mentioned
that leaders actually often have no idea about the dangerous side of leadership they are
exposed to. Such a shadows by Kets de Vries mentioned in article of John B. W. and
Christine C. are:
a) Mirroring refers to leaders' tendency to see themselves through the eyes of
subordinates. They are actually focusing on how followers see them, and they are
trying to satisfy all their projections. In other words, they forgot that Leadership is

189

�International Conference on EconomicandSocialStudies (ICESoS’13), 10-11 May, 2013, Sarajevo

two ways traffic. This can be extremely dangerous in a case of actions with serious
and negative consequences for company.
b) Narcisismrefers to leader's tendency to need power, prestidge and enjoy
manipulation of others. This can lead to very negative leader behavior suci is:
intolerant of criticism, unwilling to compromise, and frequently surrounding
themselves with sychopants.
c) Emotional illiteracy is inability to differentiate and verbalize emotion. Such a
people have lack of emotional ability to empathize, energize, foster creativity and
respond appropriately to conflict.
d) Fear of losing the position is strong ego identification with a leadership position.
In the head of such a person, losing the position is being equal with nothing. The
fear that their legacy will be destroyed motivates them to hold on power as long as
possible.
Once again, these shadows are reminding us that leaders needs to understand themselves,
their personalities, be open to all forms of information and feedback and have right extent
of being sensitive to what subordinates are telling them.
If they don't do this, they will be slaves of leadership shadows we mentioned above, and
they will come to point in which they will think that they are the company, they are the
organization, and nothing else is important.
Thinking „I“ and „The Company“ were the same
“I am the state.”(Louis XIV)
Leah Brown, CEO of A10 Clinical, which runs clinical trials for new drugs and conducts
health research said: “During the start-up phase, I had so much passion behind the
business that I would measure my self-worth based on how well the company was doing.
This is totally the wrong way to think. The entrepreneur is a human being. The business is
an entity. I had to learn to separate the two; otherwise I found myself down in the dumps
when things went wrong with the business. When things don’t go according to plan, this is
the most crucial time for the entrepreneur to be inspiring, enterprising, fearless, and most
importantly self-assuring to oneself and the team.”i
When we read this quotation and then turn back to John B. W. and Christine Clements'
article, we can easily notice the parallel. In the beginning of their article, authors in context
of McClelland's work (1970, 1976) said that people who employ personal power see
followers as utilitarian tools, incapable of independent thought, and captured by the
magnetism of an overwhelming personality. Such managers are not open to any kind of
feedback, they do not have exchange with subordinates, they do not explain their requests,
they even exceed their scope of authority, they don't offer rewards, they are not calm and
they can't avoid appearance of hostility, sometimes they use punishments that are not
legitimate and fair, they do not act supportive etc. Of course, as we already mentioned,
behaviors like this will lead to bad decision making, frustration, dysfunctional
organizations, wasted resources, ruined careers, organizational decline and similar negative
consequences. In conclusion, we can say that manager's thinking that he is the same as the
company, is one of the biggest and one of the most dectructive managerial mistakes he can
make.

Proposals for Solving the Problem
The best solution always is avoidance of the problem, most often it means cutting the root.
Since the root of this problem is of internal nature which means that it is within the
manager (leader), theorists will have to focus on dark side of leadership to same extent
they are focusing on leadership as “doing the right things”. The mentioned concern of
Parker Palmer is very important in creating solution for this problem. Leaders’ trainings
should be prepared in a way that they firstly prepare them spiritually, and then prepare
them to influence external world. In other words, leaders should be firstly aware of what is
the purpose of their power, where they should use it, how they should use it, and to which
extent they should use it. Additionally, we can mention some guidelines and advices by
Yukl when it comes to proper usage of power. These guidelines should be always in mind
of every manager:
- Make polite clear requests, and explain the reason for request,
- Don’t exceed your scope of authority, and verify authority if necessary,
- Follow up proper channels,
- Insist on compliance if appropriate,
- Offer types of rewards that people desire, and that are fair and ethical,
- Use rewards symbolically (not in a manipulative way),
- Explain rules and requirements, and ensure that people understand them,
- Don’t show favoritism when responding to infractions,
- Investigate to get the facts before using punishments, and avoid jumping
to conclusions,
- Provide verbal warnings before punishments, and administer such a
warnings in private,
- Use only punishments that are legitimate, fair and according to
seriousness of infraction,
- Act supportive and helpful,
- Do unsolicited favors,
- Make self-sacrifices to show concern,
Conclusion
History taught us that power in wrong hands leads to disaster. Every leader is a manager
but every manager is not a leader. Manager with leadership characteristics is better for
company than manager without them. However, leadership has its traps, and only those
who are always aware of their own skills, competencies and leadership characteristics,
companies’ strategic objectives, stakeholders and their needs, and of importance to have
sustainable and moral approach to leadership, they will be great managers. This study
shows what happens in opposite situation. More accurately said, it shows us how person
can come to position when he/she is not aware of his/her activities and what kind of
consequences can arise if he/she is neglecting this small, but important list. Of course, not
less important contribution by this paper is solution for such a problems based on literature
review. Another aim of this work is to be incentive for paying more attention on potential
negative side of leadership by theorists and academics in education process so failures can
be avoided.

                <text>The main objective of this paper is not only to explain and discuss  managerial problem known as „I and company are the same“, but also to  propose adequate solution that will be beneficial for managers in their  practice. By using literature review methodological approach, several  factors that are strongly related to this problem have been identified.  Beside power and influence as important factors to consider, there are so  called „shadows that leaders fail to recognize“, that are responsible for  misleading manager to the point where he identify company by himself. At  the end, there are guidelines based on specific literature which are useful  for avoidance and solving this problem.  Keywords: Management, Leadership, Power, Influence, Mistake.</text>

(Reviews of Different Translations of the Novel a Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man)
Fahreta Fijuljanin&amp; Samina Dazdarevic &amp; Amela Lukac Zoranic
International University of Novi Pazar/ Novi Pazar, Serbia
Key words: syntax, contrastive grammar, translation, language, literature
ABSTRACT
Due to expansion of knowledge and education, there was a need for translating certain written works and novels and
all because of the thorough and detailed study and familiarity of the mentioned written works. Besides bringing the
new semantic aspects of translated works, there are also a variety of new syntactical changes and transformations.
With the close-up and review of different translations of the same literal work, we tend to emphasize the similarities
between syntactical functions and also some of the differences. This work aims to unite two different language field,
translation and syntax through contrastive grammar and to associate literature as the third language field within, as
well as to establish the possibility of innovations and conclusions into the world of language.

Abstract
In this paper, complex behavior of a four dimensional continuous autonomous hyperchaotic
finance system is investigated. Also, this paper discusses the control of four dimensional
continuous autonomous hyperchaotic finance system by using time delay feedback control
technique. Based on the property of the time delay feedback control, the controller is designed
and this controller is added to hyperchaotic finance system for achieving the control of the
system. As a result, the control of four dimensional continuous autonomous hyperchaotic
finance system is realized. To confirm the validity of the proposed method, numerical
simulations are presented graphically.
Keywords: Hyper chaotic finance system, chaos control, time delay feedback control

1. INTRODUCTION
Chaos has been extensively interesting study area for many scientists, after Lorenz found the
first attractor in 1963 (Lorenz, 1963). After Lorenz, many chaotic systems were introduced
such as Liu system (Liu et al., 2004), Chen system (Chen, Ueta, 1999), Chua system (L.O.
Chua et al., 1986), Rössler system (Rössler, 1976), Rabinovich system (Pikovski, Rabinovich
et al., 1978) and Rikitake system (Rikitake, 1958). Chaos control has received increasingly
attentions from researchers, since OGY (Ott et al., 1990) method has been proposed. Many
control methods have been proposed for the control of chaotic systems such as adaptive
control (Wu CW et al., 1996, Y. Hong et al., 2001), sliding mode control (Konishi et al.,
1998; Ablay, 2009), linear feedback control (Yassen, 2005), and passive control (Lin, 1995;
Qi, 2004; S. Emiroğlu, 2010)
Juan Ding (J. Ding et al., 2009) have reported a dynamic model of 4D chaotic ﬁnance system,
composed of three ﬁrst-order differential equations with state feedback. The state equations of
4D chaotic finance system are written below Eq 1.

x  a( x  y )  w
y   y  axz

(1)

z  b  axy
w  cxz  dw

where a; b are the parameters of the system (1), and c is constant(where c=0.2), and d is the
control parameter.

2. CHAOS CONTROL OF HYPER CHAOTIC FINANCE SYSTEM
Pyragas (Pyragas, 1992) showed that chaotic behavior could be controlled by applying
delayed feedback control method. The control of chaotic finance system (2) is achieved using
time delay feedback control theory. The controlled model given by

x  a( x  y )  w
y   y  axz

(2)

z  b  axy  u
w  cxz  dw
The controller u(t) is designed based on time delay feedback control as in Eq.

u(t )  K[ z(t )  z(t   )]

(3)

u(t) obtained that the difference between current value of system variable z(t) and its τ
seconds previous multiplied by constant K, where K is feedback gain.
The structure of the Simulink model for the controlled chaotic finance system using delayed
feedback control method is given in Figure 4.

3. CONCLUSION
The delay feedback control has been used to control chaos in hyper chaotic finance system.
By using the time delay feedback theory, controller is proposed to realize the global
asymptotical stability of the finance system. Also, the controller provides that the controlled
system converge to zero equilibrium. As shown in Figure 4, the controlled system converges
to zero equilibrium.

Also, this paper discusses the control of four dimensional  continuous autonomous hyperchaotic finance system by using time delay feedback control  technique. Based on the property of the time delay feedback control, the controller is designed  and this controller is added to hyperchaotic finance system for achieving the control of the  system. As a result, the control of four dimensional continuous autonomous hyperchaotic  finance system is realized. To confirm the validity of the proposed method, numerical  simulations are presented graphically.  Keywords: Hyper chaotic finance system, chaos control, time delay feedback control</text>

ABSTRACT
The aim of this paper is to point out the advantages of the use of the time-frequency analysis in
the digital processing of the waveforms recorded in the high voltage impulse tests. Impulse
voltage tests are essential to inspect and test insulation integrity of high voltage apparatus. The
measured waveforms in practice may contain oscillations and overshoots due to contribution of
different noise sources. The different methods incorporating signal-processing method such as
wavelets and Short Time Fourier Transform are proposed for failure identification. It is now
possible to distinguish failure during lightning tests as well as chopped lightning impulse tests.
The method is experimentally validated on a transformer winding. Obtained voltage waveforms
usually have some sort of interferences originated from the different sources. These interferences
have to be removed from the original impulse data in order to evaluate the waveform
characteristics precisely. In this paper two impulse signal with and without shielding are given
concerned with the methods used for the time-frequency analysis. Time-frequency analysis is
powerful signal processing tool in order to recognize the noise of impulse voltage data. Thus the
sources of the noise can be found and eliminated.

                <text>This paper investigates the way students within a Juvenile Detention Center in Brazil, experienced the learning of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). If a youth under 18 violates some of the Brazilian laws, the “Statute of the Child and the Adolescent” (ECA) establishes that he/she may be sent to a Juvenile Socio-Educational Center where English is taught as a mandatory subject. This study analyzes the nature of the actions involved in teaching-learning EFL within this space. The investigation explores the notion of memory related to the notion of space as a central point to the understanding of this educational setting. It also shows how the institutional and discursive spaces are established and negotiated by the teacher and students involved in this practice. In order to do so, one lesson is analyzed to show the way the participants take the word to build the physical and discursive spaces as their identities and relationship.  The lesson was audio-recorded and transcribed, additionally, a structural map was designed. A triangulation of the data was developed by relating the themes found from the analysis of the lesson to the themes found from the journals and interviews, also gathered during the data collection. The study is conducted by the Discourse Analysis methodology. The analysis points to a constitution of a confused space formed by the way the educational and the incarcerated settings are confronted by the (participants’) memory. It is also formed by the way the teacher and students assume or deny their discursive positions. Besides, it is noticed that the confused space is also established by the effect of suspension, from which the current moment seems to be in suspense by the repetition of some linguistic content or dependent on what happened somewhere else brought to the classroom by the work of memory.</text>

Abstract
In this study, the effect of TiO2 addition on properties of alumina ceramics was investigated.
The prepared commercial Alcoa alumina reinforced 0-15 % TiO2 were ground in ball mill for
2 h by wet milling and then powders were shaped dry pressing. After shaping operations, the
277

�samples were sintered 1500-1650 °C for 2 h. Firing shrinkage, relative density, flexural
strength and hardness tests were performed and also for characterization x-ray diffraction
(XRD) analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were utilized. It was seen that the
TiO2 addition to alumina has effected on properties of alumina, significantly.
Keywords: Alumina, TiO2, Ceramic Composites.
1. INTRODUCTION
Alumina is a consider material for refractory application which has high melting point as
2000 ±30 °C. Also this material was resisted to acids, bases and many liquid metals and glass.
Moreover its heat and electrical conducting was very low. Due to have this insulating
properties, alumina firstly use in automotive industry as sparking plug. Today alumina is
using as cutting tools for machining operation and as a resistant material to corrosion in the
chemical industry and as a high temperature materials for heating systems. Furthermore
another usage of alumina is special purpose in optic and medical technique application (Ilgar
2008, Rao 2000). Alumina is a ceramic oxide material. Although there are various
modifications of Alumina, α–Al2O3 has commercial use (Toy 1994).
As a thin film of TiO2 have many application areas because of superior properties of
electrical, chemical and optical. Due to Titanium dioxide has very high melting point, it has
many optical applications and optic circuit as coating material. Moreover, titanium dioxide
can be used as bio-material and implant due to have high corrosion resistance and
biocompatibility (Bardakci 2007).
At the present study, the effect of TiO2 addition on properties of alumina was investigated
Mixtures of alumina-TiO2 were shaped by dry pressing and were sintered at 1500-1650 °C
temperatures. After sintering, some physical tests were applied to TiO2 reinforced alumina
ceramics and characterized by XRD and SEM.
2. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE
In this study, the raw materials were alumina powder (0.4 µm) produced by the Aluminum
Company of America (Alcoa A16-SG, USA) and high purity TiO2 (0.1 µm) ceramic
powders. TiO2 was added to commercial Alcoa alumina powder in different proportions (0, 5,
10, 15, in wt %). The ratios of alumina-TiO2 compositions and the marking system are
shown in Table 1.

In order to ensure a homogeneous mixture, each composition was ball-milled in rubber-lined
ceramic jars for 2 h using alumina balls and distilled water as the milling media and then
sieved to pass through 38 µm. After drying in an oven at 110 °C for 24 hours, the mixtures
were granulated in moist conditions and then semidry pressed at 100 MPa to prepare
rectangular shaped specimens with the size of 5X8X40 mm.
After shaping process, all samples were dried in an oven at 110 °C for 24 hours and were
sintered in an electric furnace with a heating rate of 5 oC/min at 1500, 1550, 1600 and 1650
oC for 2 h. Then, the sintered samples were cooled to room temperature in the furnace. The
flow chart of experimental procedure and the macro images of the sintered specimens were
given in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, respectively.

Figure1. The flow chart of the experimental procedure
After sintering, the sintered samples were subjected to physical tests such as firing shrinkage,
relative density, flexural strength test by 3-point bending method and hardness. The
crystalline phases of the sintered samples were identified by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD,
JEOL MDI/JADE6) with Cu Kα (λ = 1.54056 A˚) radiation. The micro structural
characterization of fracture surfaces of sintered samples were examined using a JEOL JSM
6600 scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

3. RESULT AND DISCUSSION
The firing shrinkage values of TiO2 reinforced alumina ceramics depend on sintering
temperatures and TiO2 addition is shown in Figure 3. The firing shrinkage was increasing in
all specimens with increasing sintering temperature due to sintering effect by dimensional
reductions. The firing shrinkage of A0 is less than TiO2 doped samples. Al2TiO5 phase is
observed in TiO2 reinforced alumina ceramics as given in the literature Soo et al (2003).
Al2TiO5 phase was also detected in our studies given below. Al2TiO5 are generally spherical
or angular particles. They were along the grain boundary and triple junction points as
expressed in literature (Sathiyakumar 2008). This effect can be seen in SEM microstructures
given below. It is probably that the firing shrinkage of TiO2 reinforced alumina ceramics was
prevented by Al2TiO5 phase.

�The relative density values of TiO2 reinforced alumina ceramics depend on sintering
temperatures and TiO2 addition is shown in Figure 4. When the sintering temperature
increases, the porosities remain into the grains of alumina ceramics as a result of rapid grain
growth. This is obstacle for reaching to theoretical density of alumina ceramic and causes
decreasing of densities (Barsoum 1997,Kalpakjian 1997). Since the density of Al2TiO5 phase
is lower compared to densities of alumina and TiO2, densities increases with increasing TiO2
addition Soo et al.(2003).

The flexural strength of composites is given in Figure 5. With the increase in sintering
temperature, the highest strength value was obtained in the TiO2 free alumina ceramic
sintered at 1550 °C. The decreasing of strength was observed via increasing of temperature
depending on the grain growth and the pores remaining into grains (Barsoum 1997,Kalpakjian
1997). The flexural strength values of the samples including TiO2 are lower than the samples
not including TiO2. Investigation of the effect of TiO2 addition on flexural strength is
compressive process in literature, the flexural strength value increases up to the addition of
TiO2 2 % and it decreases above TiO2 4 % addition (Sathiyakumar 2002). The flexural
strength values of the samples including TiO2 are in agree with the literature values and it is
lower compared to the samples not including TiO2.

As seen in Figure 6, high hardness results were observed in high densification conditions. The
highest hardness was determined in the 96.05 relative density value of alumina ceramic
sintered at 1550 °C. It is correlated with the literature [Yildirim 2002]. The hardness of the
samples including TiO2 is not high as much as TiO2 free alumina ceramics. It is reported that
Al2TiO5 and TiO2 phases in alumina matrix cause increasing of hardness Soo et al.
(2003),Anerisis et al. (2007). Small amount of TiO2 addition has positive role on sintering in
alumina composites and the presence of this second phase in matrix provides better
mechanical properties. The hardness increases with increasing TiO2 content in alumina
matrix composites, it is correlated with the literature Soo et al. (2003).

To Examine Sustainable Development Through The Historical Applications of
Foundations
Fatma ġENSOY
fatmasensoy@yahoo.com
Abstract: Sustainable development is one of the contemporary concepts. If we move
from today‘s definition of this concept, the solutions for the global problems can be
obtained from the foundation‘s applications in the past. Sustainable development concept
is generally referred to the 1987 report of World Commission on Environment and
Development. The Brundtland Commission reported the slogan, ―Our Common Future:
From One Earth to One World‖. The Commission conceptualized sustainable
development as ―paths of human progress, which meet the needs and aspirations of the
present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their
own needs‖. The goals of sustainable development are far-reaching and have as their
objective the transformation of contemporary development theory and practice. They
include the formulation of new paradigms of social, economic, political, cultural, and
ecological development. More and more rational approaches are improved to the concept
of ―development‖ which takes into account the long-term costs associated with short-term
improvements. The judicious use of the planet‘s non-renewable physical resources; a
balance between economic, social, cultural and physical development; and the realization
of fully integrated development strategies that bring together all relevant sectors and
actors into a common framework of local, national, regional and international action.
Foundations (Waqf) are Non Governmental Organizations. Current approaches to the
definition of a waqf includes; local administration and free economic rules in
management. In addition, democracy and volunteerism are essential for the definition.
These are weld from the Islamic law. Foundations with the social policy functions had
provided the continuity of social life. Waqf functions include almost all stages of social
life. Such as; increasing recruitment rates and employment, income and wealth
redistribution, social security formation, infrastructure development, expansion of
education… The aim of the settler, colleteur is the continuation of this functions for
infinitum. It indicates that they think not only for needs of future generation but also the
needs of all humanity. According to the facts mentioned above, economic and social
resources were available to all humanity. Community life has a constantly changing
dynamic character. We are the heirs of the finest examples of the foundation of
civilization. In other words, we as the heirs must attribute a new, fresh and modern
mission to the third sector or civil society organizations. Sustainable development
concept includes different dimensions. Such as ecological, economic, political, cultural,
social sustainability. This study‘s aim is to indicate that the applications of foundation
were serving the same purposes of sustainable development. The treatments applied
today to strengthen the social structure exactly overlaps with the services performed by
the awqaf throughout history. The given example in this case will emphasize the
importance of each term. The traces of good experiences are which created in the past
have lived for centuries. The orphans, widows, elderly people, children and the others
joined economic and social life through endowed charity. However, it is clear that
foundations must have found new solutions and different policy instruments for today‘s
problems.

The Concept of Sustainable Development
Sustainable development has become a buzzword in development thought. Indeed, sustainable development
appears to have replaced such venerable concepts as ―growth‖, ―modernization‖, ―progress‖ and even ―accelerated
development‖ as the unifying concept for worldwide development activities. The concept of ―human development‖,
that has been promulgated by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP, 1992) since 1990. Thus, it
represents a serious challenge to the primacy of sustainable development in the new hierarchy of development
concepts.

�2nd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, June 8-9 2010, Sarajevo

The fact is that the sustainable development has succeeded in uniting widely divergent theoretical and
ideological perspectives into a single conceptual framework.
The goals of sustainable development are far-reaching and have as their objective the transformation of
contemporary development theory and practice. They include: 1) the formulation of new paradigms of social,
economic, political, cultural, and ecological development; 2) more rational approaches to development that take into
account the long-term costs associated with short-term improvements; 3) the judicious use of the planet's nonrenewable physical resources; 4) a balance between economic, social, cultural and physical development; and 5) the
realization of fully integrated development strategies that bring together all relevant sectors and actors into a
common framework of local, national, regional and international action.(Estes,1993) Inside the Brutland Report:
Our Common Future, Chapter 2: Towards Sustainable Development is summarized that ―In essence, sustainable
development is a process of change in which the exploitation of resources, the direction of investments, the
orientation of technological development; and institutional change are all in harmony and enhance both current and
future potential to meet human needs and aspirations.‖(UN-Documents net)
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP, 1992:17) identifies the following outcomes as
minimum additional requirements for achieving the goal of sustainable development: 1) the elimination of poverty;
2) a reduction in population growth!; 3) more equitable distribution of resources; 4) healthier, more educated and
better trained people; 5) decentralized, more participatory government; 6) more equitable, liberal trading systems
within and among countries, including increased production for local consumption; and 7) better understanding of
the diversity of ecosystems, including locally adapted solutions to environmental problems and better monitoring of
the environmental impact of development activities.
Since 1990, annual Human Development Reports have explored challenges including poverty, gender,
democracy, human rights, cultural liberty, globalization, water scarcity, climate change, and mobility. 2010 marks
the twentieth anniversary of the human development report and offers an opportunity to reappraise its contribution
and to make the case for a new human development vision to meet the challenges and opportunities of the twentyfirst century. This concept note, based on a series of valuable discussions with colleagues in different parts of the
UNDP, sets out the basic approach to tackle this task, which will focus on the implications of the human
development approach for development policies and strategies.
The Human Development Report has been a major force in thinking about development, not only by
highlighting the inadequacy of per capita income as the sole measure of a society‘s progress, but also by exploring
how a people-centered approach affects the way we should think about key challenges. The reports have covered
subjects as diverse as participation, cultural liberty and financing, as well as larger global challenges like cooperation
and climate change. The human development approach has influenced many strands of development thinking and the
ways that most policymakers and researchers think about human progress. The 2010 report aims to take this
contribution significantly further by showing how placing human development at the center of our priorities changes
the ways in which we think about, formulate, implement and monitor development policies designed to promote
empowerment, address inequality and tackle sustainability.(Human Development Report 2010).

The Concept of Waqf
Waqf is a charitable foundation. In Arabic language, means forbidding movement, transport or exchange of
something. Awqaf is the plural of Waqf. (Öztürk, 1983) The word Waqf is used in Islam with the meaning of
holding certain property and preserving it for the confined benefit of certain philanthropic use and prohibiting any
use or disposition of it outside that specific objective. On the other side, as an approach for ―ownership‖; a property
converts from private ownership to social ownership category. It improves by the effect of moral and religious
motivation. Due to the fact that Allah encourage human beings to help each other in his holly Qur‘ân and in the
example of his prophet, waqf is prominently improved in the Muslim World and plays a significant role in social,
political, and economic life in the Muslim society.(Zaim)
―When a human being dies, his work for Allah comes to an end except for three things:
a lasting charity (sadaqa jaariya), knowledge that benefits others, and a good child who calls on Allah for
His favour.‖ (Related by Muslim in his Sahih, the book of ―Al-Wassiya‖. Related also by Abu Daoud, At-Tirmidhi
and An-Nasaii.) Commenting on this Hadith that the ‗lasting charity‘ is generally recognized as referring to Waqf
endowments.(Ali, 2009)
There are three main kinds of waqfs. The first kind is the Khairy Waqf or charitable waqf, which
means withholding one‘s property and directing its revenues towards different philanthropic goals. The second kind
of waqf is the Ahli Waqf or the family waqf. Family vakıfs (vakıf-ı-ehli) were made in favor of one‘s relatives and
descendants with the final stage being the dedication of the vakıf to charitable purposes.(Peters,2002) Family awqaf

were used as a source of income for offspring and for slaves, ensuring the transmission of family wealth from
generation to generation. In contrast, a vakıf-ı hayri was dedicated to pious, religious or charitable causes, or for
public utilities or the poor.(Yediyıldız, 1982) Family awqaf were divided into two categories; family and semi-family
awqaf Semi-family awqaf had the characteristics of both public and family awqaf and were the most preferred type
in the Ottoman Empire. In eighteenth-century Anatolia, 82% of the awqaf were family awqaf with the ratio of semifamily awqaf reaching 75 %.(Yediyıldız,1982). Upon the death of the last descendant the endowment reverted to the
poor.The founder, called as the ―vâkıf‖ appointed himself to the position of Ģeyh if he created a dervish convent;
müderris or professor if he established a medrese; and mütevelli or adminisrator of the waqf, whether it be a mosque,
soupkitchen, inn, hospital, or any other instutions that was created. It hardly need be stressed that this last office
enabled the vâkıf and his posterity to exercise virtually absolute control over the waqf and its revenues. (Yediyıldız,
1982; Barnes,1986)
Vakfiyes(deed of trust) give us various kinds of information about the donor, but they also allow us to
hear their individual voices, demonstrate the kind of founder and the purposes for which these foundations were
established, and the differences in their size. Unlike vakfiyes, court registers give information when a legal issue
arose. These registers rather record the problematic nature of the awqaf . We can only learn the location and nature
of the waqf in addition to some other information, from these records.
Safiye Sultan, in her deeds of trust: ―For as long as she lives, her royal majesty shall be entitled to receive
the surplus of the foundation‘s revenues and after her death, so shall her children, and the children of their children,
and the children of the children of their children, and from generation to generation shall they and the right to make
use thereof…Let whichever of the manumitted servants and of their children, and of their children‘s children is the
most intelligent and capable serve as trustee of the endowment and let whoever is trustee share equally in the surplus
revenues with the others. Should their line be wholly extinguished; let the trustee of the mortmain estates of Medina
become trusteeof this endowment; let him receive this surplus; and each year let him ensure that it reaches the poor
of Medina and is distributed to them…‖(Duran,1990)
Waqf action gained prominence because it provided the dead posthumously with permanent reward and the
living with an endowment of lasting benefit.
The development of waqf foundation in Islamic states peaked and highly improved from aspects of variety,
quantity and content. Waqf is the prominent institution, which develop social law, economic and political structure of
the society and Islamic state structure on a democratic ground and provide stability and balance in the development.
Social justice and equal opportunity and prosperity are result of waqf. Waqf which has been tried to improve, should
be examined from the different aspects in order to fulfill properly its functions along with the changing needs and
structure of society.(Zaim)
Waqf grew by leaps and bounds. This institution became an important pillar in the religious, social, cultural,
scientific, economic and political life of Islamic society. Even non-Muslims in Muslim countries established Waqf
for the benefit of their communities. For every conceivable enterprise of social benefit there was a Waqf. There were
awqaf for mosques, universities, schools, hospitals, orphanages, houses for the poor, food for the poor, the blind,
battered/abused women, soup kitchens, wells, aqueducts, fountains, public baths, watchtowers, bridges, cemeteries,
salaries, pensions, guest houses, libraries, books and animal welfare.
―The Ottoman society left the financing of health, education and welfare entirely to the Waqf system so much so that
the following saying does not exaggerate its central importance: ―Thanks to the Waqfs that flourished during the
Ottoman Empire, a person would have been born into a Waqf house, slept in a Waqf cradle, eaten and drunk from
Waqf properties, read Waqf books, been taught in a Waqf school, received his salary from a Waqf administration,
and when he died, placed in a Waqf coffin and buried in a Waqf cemetery.‖ (Arsebük, 1938)
Awqaf are classified in two categories. 1-Tangible (in the form of buildings or real estate) and 2-intangible
(cash…) In both cases, the essential point is the foregoing of individual property for the benefit of mankind.
Thereafter, that property belongs to Allah (s.w.t.). The main waqf is in the form of real estate, primarily agricultural
land and commercial buildings.(Tabakoğlu, 1992) Many sorts of assets such as fields, farms, mills, villages, shops,
khans, baths, pastures and springs…have been so bequeathed and the income from themhas been put to work
protecting and watching over the poor, serving the pursuit of knowledge, and performing numerous other social and
cultural functions.
The cash awqaf constituted a special category of Islamic endowment, and played a major role in Ottoman
economic –financial history. It can be considered such as an important Islamic financial institution which facilitated
the flow of funds from those who were able to save, to those who needed capital, primarily the entrepreneurs, but
also to the members of the general public. The well developed money market which legally sanctioned was emerged
by the cash awqaf. (Çizakça,1992)

The voluntary institution of Waqf supplemented the state in fulfillment of its obligation towards the
provision of public goods. Public investment expenditures, which consist the main part of any modern budget, are
not contained in the Ottoman budgets. Because, such investments, together with education, health and other social
service expenditures were financed not through the treasury, but through private and especially awqaf which were
mostly exempt from taxation and other financial responsibilities. (Tabakoğlu,1992)

Awqaf and Sustainable Development
The Effectives of Awqaf on Economic Development
The Economic Power of Awqaf
The importance of the awqaf is seen in terms of the huge assets it controls, in its social expenditure, in the
number of people it employs, and in its significant contribution to the economy.In the history, In Otoman, the share
of waqf revenues in total public revenues was around 12 per cent in the sixteenth century with the surge in private
property. 20 per cent land of whole lands inside of waqf system too.(Tabakoğlu,1994) During the next two centuries,
from 1600 to 1800, the condition of awqaf changed and from two-thirds to three –fourths of the land of the empire
had by the nineteenth century been placed in waqf.(Barnes,1984) Today, waqf in some communities are governed by
Act of Parliament such as in India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Kenya while many are operated under laws governing
Trusts, Foundations, Non-Profit Organisations, Non-Government Organisations and Societies.(Ali,2009)
United Kingdom, For over two decades, Islamic Relief has been providing emergency aid and long-term assistance
to some of the world‘s most deprived people. In 2000, it set up the Waqf Future Fund aimed primarily at reviving a
great tradition of setting up a charity that continues to benefit the needy for many future generations. The Fund
allows donors to support numerous ongoing charitable projects, not just for people who need immediate help but for
those who will continue to need help in the future (www.islamic-relief.com).
India, There are an estimated 250,000 Waqf properties in India, valued in excess of US$75 billion and with
a potential for generating approximately US$3 billion in revenue. Since 1913 a number of Waqf Acts were passed
by the central and state legislatures while the Waqf Act of 1954 was a major development in the history of Awqaf in
India.
South Africa With only a few exceptions, most of the Awqaf institutions in South Africa are related to
mosques and religious educational institutions. Among the few income-generating Waqf institutions in South Africa
is the Hajee Ahmed Mahomed Lockhat Wakuff, established in Durban in 1933. Another recent initiative is the
National Awqaf Foundation of South Africa Initiated in 2000, Awqaf SA was registered as a trust in 2003, as a NonProfit Organisation.(www.awqafsa.org.za)
Awqaf’s Influences on Consumption and Investment
Waqf causes transfer of the sources from luxury consumption to essential needs consumption. As a
result of consumption transfer to essential needs consumption, waqf causes increasing of marginal profit, total profit
provided by consumption in national economy and feeding of total satisfaction. Its influence on savings: waqf causes
to save the sources, which could be spent otherwise for luxuries and obstention consumption. Its influence on
investment: waqf encourage investing in a useful way the sources, which could be spent for luxuries and obstention
consumption or would not be used in an effective way.(Zaim) The discouragement and prohibition of luxury and
extravagance in Islam has limited the prospects fordisposable income. Thereby, such extra income had spent to the
enhancement of the social welfare through awqaf. Besides, the revenues appropriated by the producers of the
capitalist system through price differentiation are directed (in the Islamic system) towards furthering social welfare
by way of awqaf. Today the investment which are contained in the central budget revenues, such as religious affairs,
education, health, social aid and civil construction were financed generally by the awqaf.
Redistribution of Wealth and Income
The relationship of waqf with economic life differentiates in accordance with its periods from beginning to
the present. Waqf connects with the distribution of wealth in national economy because of that in its establishment
period, waqf provides the transfer of wealth for society.

402

�2nd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, June 8-9 2010, Sarajevo

-In order to maintain a waqf successfully, waqf should be managed rationally. Therefore waqf
management must be based on rationality principle.
-In order to sustain and increase incomes waqf should implement the ratability principle.
-In order to maximize the service and the profit provided by waqf the expenditures should be accordance
with productivity principle.
In sum, waqf is a foundation, which effects redistribution of national wealth and should be managed as productive
and rantable.(Zaim)
Despite of this, in waqf the prosperity, which belongs to wealthy groups, doesn‘t transfer to the people
having low-level income, but rather to society. After wealth transfer, redistribution of revenue in favor of low-level
income people is provided thorough service fulfilling with income of this wealth. Wealth transfer becomes only for
one time, however revenue transfer continues during waqf is a going concern.
The Functions of Increasing Employment
The waqf system had a significant role in the economic development for several reasons. Firstly, the waqf
facilitated renting shops with low prices in the markets that had waqfs, which led to the decrease of prices and, in
turn, activated the commercial movement in these markets. Besides, the markets that had no waqfs had to decrease
their prices in order to be able to compete with the waqf markets to maintain their businesses. Secondly, the waqf
helped the decrease of the unemployment rate and the creation of job opportunities. Besides, the waqf helped the
poor to own money which increased the demand rate on numerous products and services that were going to be
confined only to the wealthy segments in the society if the waqf did not exist. On the other hand, the sabeel or the
water fountain that was built on the important commercial roads had significant roles in activating the trade and in
facilitating the movement of the commercial caravans traveling between the cities and the villages.

Social Policy Functions
Education
The waqf system had played a vital role in achieving development at the educational, social and economic
levels. The educational role of waqf started from the mosque, which was not only a place of praying and
worshipping, but was also a source of education where students used to come to learn from instructors specialized in
the different branches. Therefore, at the beginning of the Islamic civilization, the mosque used to play the role of the
school. However, the form of the educational waqf has evolved to the ―kottab‖, which was similar to a small school
where children are taught reading, writing, Quran, and mathematics. Despite the continuance of the kottab, the
educational waqf had developed to normal schools, which had widely increased allover the Islamic society.
Meanwhile, schools had direct relations with libraries which people started to put them as waqfs since they were
aware of the importance of the book and its role in education.
Social Services
As for the social development, the social services provided by the waqf system were various. A big number
of Muslims withheld their properties to build medical centers and hospitals, some of which were built to cure
animals. In fact, many of the waqf documents revealed the successful management of the endowed hospitals. Besides
the medical services, there were several kinds of social services provided by the waqf, including helping the poor do
their pilgrimage, helping poor girls get married, building homes for the orphans, the elderly, and the blind. Waqf‘s
health and education services causes to provide equal opportunity; moreover equal opportunity encourages social
justice advancing people according to their ability.(Kozak,1985)
The periods when the social service provided by waqf is doing properly it is provided services such as
education, health for law and middle stratum class thus they can save their sources and increase their prosperity. That
is, waqf causes that law and middle class have prosperity.
Waqf provides an equilibrium position in distributing sources between individual and society needs. The
important point in a society is to provide a balance between individual profit and social input, also, between private
and social marginal revenue. Waqf seeks to this aim in underdevelopment countries the cost of free-market economy
and rapid-development are unequal prosperity and spoiling social injustice.
Advancing of waqf plays a role providing balance in development process.
This social service fulfills a duty beyond the struggle of poverty to help to poor people. Waqf contributes to
upliftment of humanity and betterment of life and provides a life level which is proper with human dignity. As a

403

�2nd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, June 8-9 2010, Sarajevo

result of these features of waqf not only low level income groups but also other income groups get benefited from the
service provided by waqf. The protector of waqf, which provides social service, is not only rich people. But rather,
the people from each social class (artisan, peasant, soldier and worker) contribute to the social service as a nation.
Social Insurance Function
Most of the waqf aims at providing a security for risks, which the people would undergo in economic life
and due to the fact that service is fulfilled by foundation waqf prevent from insulting the people‘s dignity.
The relationship between consideration and social insurance decreases in social insurance system and social
insurance considerations converts to social insurance payment. In waqf, as being different from contemporary
social insurance system solidarity feelings have improved between waqf and the people serviced, without insulting
their dignities. It causes joining together in society.
Waqf feels peace and satisfaction of raising help for charity. In social insurance system, there is no sharing
feeling between two sides.
This situation prevents from the feeling alienation in urban life of industrial society. Helping field prevent from
alienation, being divided of personality and loneliness and feelings and depression in urban life. The profit for the
people organizing waqf, provides a unity human being and his social environment moreover, going beyond this limit
contains next generations and eternal life after death.
Social insurance system does not affect directly distribution of wealth in economy conversely waqf provides
distribution of wealth in the establishment time.

Conclusion
Throughout its history the most powerful vehicle for charitable and philanthropic endeavors was probably
the endowment, or waqf.. A waqf enables a Muslim to assign any proportion of his or her wealth, to designated
persons or public utilities. Persons, and institutions such as mosques, schools, bridges, graveyards and drinking
fountains, could be the beneficiaries of a waqf.
Waqf has always been associated with creating a balance between the local worries and finding solutions for
human sufferings in general, which made waqf a unique example of sustainable development. Thus waqf is a unique
example of sustainable development. If with the social policy functions had provided the continuity of social life.
Waqf functions include almost all stages of social life. Such as; increasing recruitment rates and employment,
income and wealth redistribution, social security formation, infrastructure development, expansion of education …
Permanence and irrevocability are two essential characteristics of the waqf. The aim of the settler, colleteur
is the continuation of this functions for infinitum. It indicates that they think not only for needs of future generation
but also the needs of all humanity. According to the facts mentioned above, economic and social resources were
available to all humanity. Community life has a constantly changing dynamic character. This condition of perpetuity
has led over the years to a considerable accumulation of societal wealth such that awqaf has become an important
sector dedicated to the social and economic improvement of the society.

                <text>Sustainable development is one of the contemporary concepts. If we move  from today‘s definition of this concept, the solutions for the global problems can be  obtained from the foundation‘s applications in the past. Sustainable development concept  is generally referred to the 1987 report of World Commission on Environment and  Development. The Brundtland Commission reported the slogan, ―Our Common Future:  From One Earth to One World‖. The Commission conceptualized sustainable  development as ―paths of human progress, which meet the needs and aspirations of the  present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their  own needs‖. The goals of sustainable development are far-reaching and have as their  objective the transformation of contemporary development theory and practice. They  include the formulation of new paradigms of social, economic, political, cultural, and  ecological development. More and more rational approaches are improved to the concept  of ―development‖ which takes into account the long-term costs associated with short-term  improvements. The judicious use of the planet‘s non-renewable physical resources; a  balance between economic, social, cultural and physical development; and the realization  of fully integrated development strategies that bring together all relevant sectors and  actors into a common framework of local, national, regional and international action.  Foundations (Waqf) are Non Governmental Organizations. Current approaches to the  definition of a waqf includes; local administration and free economic rules in  management. In addition, democracy and volunteerism are essential for the definition.  These are weld from the Islamic law. Foundations with the social policy functions had  provided the continuity of social life. Waqf functions include almost all stages of social  life. Such as; increasing recruitment rates and employment, income and wealth  redistribution, social security formation, infrastructure development, expansion of  education… The aim of the settler, colleteur is the continuation of this functions for  infinitum. It indicates that they think not only for needs of future generation but also the  needs of all humanity. According to the facts mentioned above, economic and social  resources were available to all humanity. Community life has a constantly changing  dynamic character. We are the heirs of the finest examples of the foundation of  civilization. In other words, we as the heirs must attribute a new, fresh and modern  mission to the third sector or civil society organizations. Sustainable development  concept includes different dimensions. Such as ecological, economic, political, cultural,  social sustainability. This study‘s aim is to indicate that the applications of foundation  were serving the same purposes of sustainable development. The treatments applied  today to strengthen the social structure exactly overlaps with the services performed by  the awqaf throughout history. The given example in this case will emphasize the  importance of each term. The traces of good experiences are which created in the past  have lived for centuries. The orphans, widows, elderly people, children and the others  joined economic and social life through endowed charity. However, it is clear that  foundations must have found new solutions and different policy instruments for today‘s  problems.</text>

Introduction
The world we liveinisshrinking withthe same level of changing and developing.Inthe nearfuture,the
nations which can cope with this change and development will have the chance to survive. The certain change is
ongoing with a spectacular speed in all part oflife. Rational and economic production oriented towards needs is
the main part of the modernization. Its centre is without doubt the human being. Modern technology which is
utilized for agricultural production will be the cause of an increase in the technical agricultural production. That
also means that there will be an improvement for the living conditions and a boost income of the farmers who
lives in the rural areas.In the end, better quality food consumption, good nutritive and a growing work capacity
will emerge.
On the other hand, the growing population and the population density in urban areas because of the
migration force the farmers to make a production with more quantity and a high quality. Other wise, this
uncontrolled population which consist of unemployed migrants will cause nuisance and socialturmoil. For that
reason the society have to take their responsibility of improving the living conditions of the rural people and
create methods to provide agricultural technical information that they need. They also have to make those
methods work. Itis called agricultural extension. The developed countries that are conscious about this subject
already established the necessary organisations.
With the 130 thousands registered farmers, Konya is the city that has the highest number of farmers in Turkey.
In terms of the area,the situation is also the same and with 135.886ha registered agricultural area; Konya is the
province that has the largest agricultural area. These figures signify the importance of agricultural extension
work that will be implemented in Konya province. In such a broad area with such a large number of farmers,
stating the usage of which agriculturalextension methods willbe utilized in which level willboostthe success of
the agricultural extension work that will be implemented. The main objective of this study is contributing the
success of the agricultural extension work which is being implemented in Konya region. It is significantly
important to state that which extension implements will be used in which level in order to reach this objective.
For the below reasons, Altinekin district was chosen as the research field; the regions is well-known by the
researchers,thelevel ofthe application ofthe new farming techniquesis quite high and the producers are open to

innovation.
This study was done in order to revealthe progress in the use of the means of mass communication in
the certain district and the reasons behind this are that the producers are open to innovation and they have
positive future expectations.

Materyal ve Metot
The survey technique was applied for this research. When the survey form was prepared, the research
subject and the features of the agricultural enterprises are considered and we also did benefit from the other
survey forms which have being used for severalresearches.The data which was used forthe research belongs to
years 2006 and 2007. For the purpose of the research, Altinekin district was chosen as the research field and the
reasons behind this are thatthe regions is well-known by the researchers,the level ofthe application of the new
farming techniques is quite high and the producers are open to innovation. With the intention of improving the
accuracy of the findings which is obtained with information gathered from the enterprises and ensuring the
population’s different sections to be represented sufficiently, the stratified sampling methods was used for the
research. The stratified sampling is conducted by considering the factors which affectthe examined populations’
inspected features. With the stratified sampling, the population’s parameters are better estimated because it is
possibleto selectthem from allstratums.(Çiçek and at all. 1996).

Result and Suggestions
There are 3.076.650 enterprises in our country and 4.2 %( 130000) of those are in Konya. The following
facts prevent farmers who are disbanded in wide area from gaining accurate, solid information at the correct
time; Konya province has a broad area and itis consist of 31 districts. Our farmers concerns about certain issues
such as; transferring the agricultural technology to the farmers in research fields, announcing the innovations,
strengthening the farmers against the market and transferring the information about agricultural support and
credits. In 2007, agricultural supports was tried to be announced under 102 headings by only the Ministry of
Agriculture (http://www.tugem.gov.tr). Furthermore, there are new headings that need to be announced to
farmers. These are the followings; keeping records during the process of European Union, agricultural support
works based on these records, changes which are made based on figures and practises each years.In the past 3
years including 2005 and 2007, 7 laws, 23 ministers council decisions, 16 com muniqués, 13 circulars and 33
legislations were published by the Ministry of agriculture with the intention of regulating the agricultural
production (http://www.tugem.gov.tr).
The farmers are having difficulties reaching the information and using the communication sources. The
level of following up organs ofthe printed publication islow and the internet use began to increase. Despite the
factthat TV isthe best-known mass communication method, only one channelis consist of agricultural programs
amongst the 373 national TV channels which are revealed in the daily TV listing and the local TV channels
programmes do not have the sustainability. The existing com munication sources do not contain such subjects as
is valuable for the farmers. Furthermore,the farmers are not interested in agricultural subjects which organs of
the printed publication contain. Ministry of agriculture is trying to apply all sort of visual and printed
publications so as to reach banks,the farmer organisations and the private sector farmers. To gain the results of
these efforts, modern communication methods need to be utilized. Mobile communications that present us the
innovations in different sectors has to be included in agricultural extension works.
In the case of mobile communication, one way information flow which isin SMS format requires to be two
way. With the information transfer, sound files also need to be enabled to be sent and received. ARGE works
should be conducted so asto boost and generalizethe effectiveness of mobile communication in orderto produce
communication equipments at the prototype level. Agricultural publications models which are suitable for the
mobile communications methods used by farmers should be generated.
Farmers registration system that is implemented by Ministry of Agricultural, agricultural business
accounting data networks and the software sub-structure of allsort offarmer organisations have to be suitable for
