Abstract:Accounting system provides non-misleading and controllable information on a
company‘s financial structure and consequences of its activities. In this context, the
theroetical structure of accounting is important. Accounting practices are in a constantly
changing and developing environment. There are major differences between accounting
practices and its theory. There are a number of institutions and organizations in Turkey
that affects the theroetical structure of accounting. After the adoption of new Turkish
Commerce Law, this multi-headed structure will be eliminated. According to the draft of
new Turkish Commerce Law, Turkey Accounting Standards Board (TASB) will be
responsible from the accounting regulations in Turkey. As a matter of fact, this
institution has been issuing the International Accounting Standards in Turkey since its
establishment in 2005. Until now, the TASB has issued 29 standards for the publicly
traded companies and it is also preparing International Accounting Standards for the
SMEs in Turkey. This study examines the theoretical structure of accounting in Turkey
and its differences from the International Accounting Standards.

1.1. Theoretical Structure Of Accounting
Theoretical structure of accounting aims at establishing a structure of theories and implementations which
will result in harmonization of the efforts of the persons from the accounting profession, and a common set of
standards and procedures called generally-accepted accounting principles, and which will function as general
guidelines.
Tax Procedural Law (TPL) enacted with the tax reform during the 1950s constituted the basis of the
theoretical structure of accounting in Turkey and today, it maintains its directive effect. Turkish Code of Commerce
(TCC), Uniform Accounting System of the Commission of Reformation of State Economic Enterprises, Banking
Law and Banks Uniform Chart of Accounts, Communiqués of the Capital Markets Board, Accounting System
General Communiqués on Implementation of the Ministry of Finance, Uniform Chart of Accounts (UCA) that follow
this regulation, Turkish Accounting Standards (TAS) formerly published by the Turkish Accounting and Auditing
Standards Board and now, by the Turkish Accounting Standards Board are the primary written legal norms that
direct accounting implementations in Turkey (Cemalcılar and Önce, 1999, 10).
1.2. Framework Of The Theoretıcal Structure Of Accountıng
In the previous part, the regulations that affect theoretical structure of accounting in Turkey have been
mentioned. In this part, framework of the theoretical structure of accounting will be dealt.

Table 1: Hierarchy of the Elements that Comprise Framework of the Theoretical Structure of Financial Accounting
(Cemalcılar and Önce, 1999, 26)
1.2.1. Objectives of Financial Accounting
The accounting function can be defined as determining, registering, summarizing and reporting financial
information. The accounting information, which is the most important source of information in a company, also
plays a significant role in the stages during which administrative decisions are made. (Cemalcılar and Önce, 1999,
27)
The objectives of accounting are comprised of 4 elements, which are namely determining, registering,
summarizing and reporting financial information (www.akampus.com).
1.2.1.1. Determining Financial Information
The accounting process begins with determining which financial information will be registered. This is
called determination of the information. As a general rule, it determines and registers financial transactions of
accounting and results of financial activities. However, their controllable proofs should exist in order for these
financial transactions to be kept under accounting records. This is called the rule of cautiousness, which is also one
of the important rules in ‗Generally-Accepted Accounting Rules‘ (Cemalcılar and Önce, 1999, 28).
1.2.1.2. Registering Financial Information
Accounting information is registered into the accounts. These accounts enable classification of financial
data. All accounts of a company are registered in a daybook and a general ledger, which are the official books of
companies (Civan and Kara, 2009, 53).
1.2.1.3. Summarizing Financial Information
The data processed during the accounting process should answer different requirements of different users. In
other words, it should be possible to classify and summarize this information in a way to meet the data requirements
of various decision-making models (Civan, 2010, 3).
1.2.1.4. Reporting Financial Information
Accounting reports aim to meet requirements of the persons who use accounting information. Thus, these
reports should be user-specific. In different reports, different reporting methods can be followed. There should be full
compliance with the tax laws in the reports prepared for the state and tax administrations. In the reports to be
provided for the public or third persons, compliance with the Generally-Accepted Accounting Rules is sought
(Akdoğan and Tenker, 2007, 3).
1.2.2. Qualifications of Accounting Information
Timely and accurate information is required for a successful management. Appropriate decisions can only
be made by means of accurate, timely and fast information (Hansen and Mowen, 1992: 4).
It is common knowledge that the enterprises influence each other, thus the economic situation of the society,
as well as their economic situations through the decisions that individuals and states make (Kepekçi, 1998: 37).
Related parties need to have accurate, sound, significant, related and timely information on the enterprises in
order to protect their benefits because the economic decisions that the information-users will make in accordance
with their aims depend on the accounting information (Bodnar, and Hopwood, 1998: 55).
1.2.3. Scope and Components of Financial Statements
The financial statements prepared by the accounting department are divided into two; namely, main
financial statements and supplementary financial statements (Çabuk and Lazol, 2000: 7).
Furthermore, the reports can be divided into general and special-purpose reports. Main financial statements
are common as general purpose, and arranged for all users in a standard way. Balance sheets and income statements
can be given as an example. Special-purpose reports are arranged especially for administrations or other private
persons. Budgets, performance reports, cost reports etc. can be given as an example of this kind of reports (Yılancı,
1992: 15).

1.2.4. Principles on Implementation
Basic concepts of accounting that constitutes the theoretical basis of the accounting implementations are
general decision-making rules. Accountants use the principles on implementation, in other words, detailed principles
in order to implement the basic concepts.
1.2.5. Accounting Standards
Accounting standards determine the method of accounting studies and are published by various national and
international organizations. The accounting principles are generally implemented through the accounting standards,
and take determination of an accounting policy as a basis.
In our country, the accounting standards are published by the ‗Turkish Accounting Standards Board‘
(TASB).
The Board adopts the following principles in determining national accounting standards:
1-The accounting standards determined should be compatible with international accounting standards.
2-The Turkish economy, structure and requirements of the enterprises should be considered.
In Turkey, publicly-held enterprises prepare reports according to the Turkish Accounting Standards. For
non-public enterprises, on the other hand, international accounting standards continue for the SMEs.
1.2.6 .Accounting Policies
The accounting policies are a complement of standards, opinions, comments, rules and regulations accepted
by the enterprise among the options in order to arrange and submit financial statements. For instance, they can prefer
the required method used in the calculation of amortization (Özulucan, 2003, 15).
1.3. Theoretical Structure Of Accounting In Turkey And Differences With International Financial Reporting
Standards (Ifrs)
Although international accounting standards and the uniform chart of accounts are based on the same
principles, different approaches are brought to the subjects of accounting policies that need to be implemented. The
most significant reason of these different approaches is that the uniform chart of accounts is affected by especially
tax legislation, and as a fundamental objective; that various regulations are made on tax-related area rather than
providing sound, trustworthy, transparent and comprehensible financial statements. The important differences
between the international accounting standards that takes substance over form and accrual basis as the basic
perspective, and tax legislation, and uniform chart of accounts that takes form over substance and collection as the
basic perspective are summarized as below.
Communiqués of the Capital Markets Board that direct accounting implementations in our country have
accelerated the efforts on harmonization with the international accounting standards. According to the Communiqué
No. 25, which is the latest regulation and issued by the Capital Markets Boards, incomes and expenditures can be
presented in a different way in order to provide information necessary to make an economic decision and suitable for
the need. Incomes and expenditures comprised of ordinary activities and other incomes and expenditures are
demonstrated separately. This distinction is made on the grounds that the information on the source of an item is
suitable for the need with the aim of making an evaluation about cash and the cash equivalents that the enterprise
may form in the future http://www.econturk.org/Turkiyeekonomisi/ferTMS10.doc).
In Turkey, the information used in reporting is not exactly compatible with the international accounting
standards. Again, there are differences between Turkey and the IFRS in reporting borrowing costs. It is possible to
include interest expenses in asset costs in Turkey, and this implementation is common. According to the IFRS,
financing expense specifies the interest costs borne by any enterprise with regard to loan capitals. What the interest
costs related to the loan capitals are is referred in the same paragraph. These are; discount expenses occurring during
the issue of bills, and repayment of premiums, repayment of related expenses borne as a result of debt agreements,
and exchange differences occurring with regard to loan capitals to the extent that they can be considered as interest
expenses (Akdoğan, 2003, 25-40).
There are some minor distinctions in accounting exchange differences of fixed assets after active registered.
According to the Capital Markets Board and the Turkish Accounting Standard 14, except for the basic method, the
exchange differences calculated for stocks and fixed assets until the activation date are added to the cost of the
related asset. According to the Capital Markets Board, adding the exchange differences occurring after the activation
date to the cost in fixed assets or registering them as a period cost is allowed while they are accepted as a period cost

751

�2nd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, June 8-9 2010, Sarajevo
in the stocks. On the other hand, according to the International Accounting Standards, exchange differences are
considered as the expenditures of the upcoming periods of the fixed assets in a systematic way throughout their
lifetime. In the International Financial Reporting Standard called ‗Stocks‘ No. 2, it is expressed that the exchange
differences occurring after the activation of non-qualifying stocks and resulting from exchange transactions related to
the mentioned assets, and borrowing costs borne by the used credits cannot be activated
(www.platformiletisim.com/malimusavir/yazarde.asp?).
Another distinction is related to accounting financial leasing operations. They continue to show the assets
given for leasing in their own assets as fixed assets and allocate amortization for them. This situation distorts the
structure of balance sheet. In fact, the assets given for leasing should not be included in fixed assets, and
amortization should not be allocated for them. The companies that obtain assets by means of leasing should show
these assets in their own assets and allocate amortization for them (Akdoğan, 2003, 25-40).
Another distinction is that the financial reporting in the companies that carry out widespread construction
and contracting works for many years differs from the implementations in the International Accounting Standards.
The period results of incomes and expenditures are received in the year when provisional acceptance takes place in
Turkey. In fact, according to the International Financial Accounting Standards, incomes and expenditures should be
calculated by the completion percentage for each year, not in the year when the provisional acceptance takes place.
Afterwards, incomes and expenditures should be reflected into the periods.
Furthermore, realistic values, rather than historical costs, should be taken as a basis while evaluating some
items. Realistic evaluation principles, instead of historical costing, should be considered.
In accordance with the principle of cautiousness in the International Accounting Standards, it is necessary to
allow to making provision when a decrease in the value of any asset is noted/estimated (doubtful trade receivables,
decline in value of inventory etc.), and to register it as an expense. In fact, for allowing to making such a provision
and accepting it as an expense, the tax procedural law has brought along such obligations like court decisions etc.
Another distinction between theoretical structure of accounting implemented in Turkey and the International
Financial Reporting System is the delay interests occurring in forward sales. In fact, these are interest income not
sale income. As a result of this, gross margin seems too much in income statement.
Although there is a parallelism between the international accounting standards and the standards published
in Turkey on arranging consolidated financial statements, there exist discrepancies in definitions, consolidation
preparation stage, reporting special assessment, in conditions regarding exclusion of the determination of the special
assessment
from
the
scope
of
consolidation
during
repayment
(
http://www.sosbil.gazi.edu.tr/edergi/makale.php?Makale=8).
Another distinction is related to where the sale of fixed assets and shares will be shown in the income
statement. The international accounting standards state that these profits should be shown in the ordinary income
group. However, they are shown in the extraordinary income group in the applications in Turkey.
www.econturk.org/Turkiyeekonomisi/ferTMS10.doc
As for the accounting of the shares, pertaining to the authority granted by the article 175 and repeating
article 257 of the Tax Procedural Law by the Ministry of Finance, the General Communiqué 3 on Implementation of
the Accounting System Serial No. 1 which was enacted to be effective as of 1.1.1994 covers all real and legal
persons that keep accounts on the basis of balance sheet throughout the country. In this regulation also called as
Uniform Accounting System in the implementation, it is defined that as criteria for participation, vested right of
voting or right to participation in the administration, rather than the share, should be taken as a basis, and that the
vested right of voting or right to participation in the management should be at least %10, regardless of the share, in
order to mention a relationship of participation in the joint ventures participated. In the abovementioned regulation,
principles and standards on the evaluation were not introduced; TPL provisions were referred on the matter of
evaluation. Thus, the participations will be valued over ―purchase price‖ as is the case with other securities. Provided
that there is a decrease in value of equities by %10 or more than this rate, it is allowed to make provision in
accordance with ―the principle of cautiousness‖. On the other hand, increases in value of securities cannot be
associated with the period profit/loss as they are unrealized increases. Only the profit or loss realized when they are
sold is taken into account.

Conclusion
In the world, International Accounting Standards are adopted in financial reporting. The information
presented in financial reporting will be determined according to these principles for all countries. A unique
implementation will be adopted in the standards. The European Commission has made it necessary to prepare
consolidated financial statements in compliance with the International Accounting Standards as of 1.1.2005. In this

sense, Turkey aligns its national accounting standards published since 2005 with the international accounting
standards. Nevertheless, there are some differences within the theoretical structure of accounting. In titles, these
differences are as below;
- In accounting policies,
- In showing incomes and expenditures comprised of ordinary activities, and other incomes and
expenditures separately,
- In reporting borrowing costs,
- In accounting exchange differences of fixed assets after active registered,
- In amortization rates applied,
- In accounting leasing transactions,
- In financial reporting in the companies that carry out widespread construction and contracting works for
years,
- In delay interests occurring in forward sales,
- In arranging consolidated financial statements,
- In where the sale of fixed assets and shares will be shown in income statement.

Abstract: Global competition increases, inventory management businesses on the
importance increased. Goods and services to sell in the global market, the unit costs
low, the production efficiency is need to higher..Stok management, raw material
supply whether manufactured and offered to customers are far, production and
distribution activities is fundamental. The amount of inventory the company's total
assets 40% to 60% in the thought, the investment in a significant portion of the
inventory allocated to the will see. Especially,in trade businesses inventory, is
majority of the balance sheet active.In the industry businesses the fixed assets
,investment is well ossified in inventory that will see. That in a state enterprise
liquidity is insufficient and receivables collected in both high-cost inventories
disposal are challenges. Daily operations to meet cash asset management could not,
pay their debts to be forced, commercial reputation damage to the liquidation or
even bankruptcy process go through a process to enter will result.

Introduction
The amount of inventory, 40% of the total assets of businesses to be between 60% and is considered, a
significant portion of investments allocated to inventories will be observed. Connected to the large amounts of
money from inventories, short-term debt funding may be provided by increasing the rate of inventory turnover.
The company failed financially, the inventory turnover rate is low, the lack of sales will result in the desired
level, so businesses will experience liquidity problems. Financially failing companies, the financial measures
taken unable bankruptcy to go a long to enter the business to invest in the shareholder losses, and direct the
national economy of full employment to reach defended. economic state that is strong businesses, this negative
situation that much is not affected unlike grow more powerful as the crisis are .This study will examine the
subject of inventory management and financial failures, business failures fall into the cause of the factors to be
investigated.

Financial Perspective to Inventory Management of Businesses
In business inventory management major makes many reasons. Especially in business inventory
investment is considerably high, usually ossified investments and consisting of a very high cost. Especially
manufacturing and trading companies operating in the subject of the inventory represents that we think the
presence of a large portion of the inventories has created to see. Companies inventories is more than ease of
delivery to customers in the business as a result. But high inventory costs will endure.(Okka 2009:657-658) Two
main purposes of inventory management in have enterprises.It‘s work both necessary and sufficient to sustain
the provision of inventory and inventory to be taken for ensuring all the stages of the inventory holding cost is
the lowest level(Okka 2009 :657-658).While investing in inventories in companies that it is important to pay
attention to two issues.

Investment in Inventories
Inventories have very important current assets in companies with a share.Operation equipment, raw
materials and supplies,work in process and finished goods inventory management are the most important items.
Inventories of companies shows diversity that it had been active in the sector depends and kinds of business.
Some sector, excessive inventory investment , when it should, and some inventory-free or low inventory keeping

policy can be watch. Companies inventory the optimal amount of more than investing the profits in a negative
way will affect. (Ceylan ve Korkmaz 2008,318-320). Businesses must be sign in terms of inventory management
policies are determined, the firm's market share and target what is determined to be the financial terms of
inventory investments, both positive and negative aspects of evaluating the investment amount. Negative
inventory investment or business, many expenses can lead to well be forgotten.

The results of Insufficient Inventory
1.The sales fall
2.Market loss
3.Customer loss
4. Decrease in profits
5.Injury to reputation in the sector
Table 1: The results of Insufficient Inventory

Level of Raw Materials and Products in Inventory
Raw material inventory is been affected first-degree factor is future production plans for next year's
planned production degrees.Company decided to increase the amount of production for next year it will need to
increase the amount of raw material purchases ( Ceylan ve Korkmaz 2008,320).Raw inventory determines the
amount of another factor is the production seasonality specialize.Furthermore, in products shows seasonal
fluctuating , production by the amount of precautionary inventories.That well as price increases, natural factors,
delivery time, global competition and also taking into account sufficient material can be quantified. (Ceylan ve
Korkmaz 2008,320). Businesses have for sales of inventory level in a positive relationship. Production volume
occur can be reflect in the future any changes to sales figures. But Demand amount of any increase can‘t to meet
supply. Those well vogue does not exceed, in each period will be demanded of the goods or inventory in the It is
possible (Ercan 2008,305-308).
Cost of Inventory
Business occurs investment in inventories for the expenditure of large. This reason to manage inventory
with the lowest cost of total inventory cost is minimum will be required to achieve optimal inventory levels.
Cost of Keeping Inventory
Inventory held in the raw materials,work in process and finished goods to be kept and maintained due to
incurred. Stok keeping costs, storage costs, heating and lighting costs, transportation costs, wages, insurance,
taxes and outdated goods, waste and corruption costs occurs.
Inventory Supply Cost
Shipping occurs costs referred to as the inventory supply costs, the order granting inventory enterprises
reached until the last every stage of the costs from the sum. Order given the phone calls, office expenses, bank
EFT costs, discount incentives, not benefiting, warehouse transportation and other expenses ordered, the cost
creates. .(Okka 2009:660).
Cost of inventorys not Include
It is expenses of inventory keeping arise. Can not be held sales lost by the sale amount, deprived of the
profits, customers, such as loss expenses. Because of business in terms of incurred these costs in the industry and
market reputation to decrease, the brand value to fall also may result.

Financial Failure in Business
Definition of Financial Failure
Financial failure is known that describing in different terms. Financial business end of the mission has
to carry out their activities. (Aydın and others 2007;444). Looking from another angle, the business can not
provide cash flow is also another dimension of financial failure. .(Wruck,1990;425). The current period as a
result, businesses can not pay debts, are faced with the problem of liquid in a technical sense(Gönenli,1994;647).
Many companies fail to define the terms we want to use. According to Altman, financial failure by the
insolvency, bankruptcy and is unable to pay on time(Altman 1983;3-6).

Causes of falling into financial failure
Businesses, technology, market, product diversification, cost structure and especially the consumer
behavior impact of their financial terms to the many problems facing. As well as business administration and
director of the inadequacy can of the company's business environment to adapt fail. Because of production
volume falls, sales declines and losses leads.
Causes of Financial Failure In Business
One of the reason those are Professional non-managerial positions, excessive and irrational borrowing,
cash flow is planned absence, insufficient liquidity, budget items necessary diligence is not shown, savings
policy is not followed, particularly cost accounting data by managers neglect, or enough of no business in the
financial failures. As our daily competition environment is considered to be high, as the company continues to
operate, improve profitability in a competitive environment must be suitable for the use of financial resources.
Another factor affecting the financial failure is financial leverage.Financial leverage, external and equity
resources of business,resource anf quantity of the substance from which mainly shows how much a financial
instrument should be used. (Erol 1999;156-157). Own resources can not be open to be allocated to enterprises,
with public debt as possible to cause any problems because the future. Companies bonds useful, financial bonds
for his use of such debt instruments or loans from banks or financial institutions to supply foreign sources are
provided. Loans to firms optimum level to a very rational, and the business growth and market competitiveness
will increase, and provide continuity in terms. But businesses will meet big problems ,if they do not use their
debts in reasonable places.For example, business uses of the loans financing the timely payment fails,
bankruptcy go through a process will enter.
Businesses within the required accounting controls is not made, cost accounting enough benefit can not
be operating in a knowledge processing and dissemination should be the system's establishment of no-budget
preparation flexibility of no and extraordinary circumstances budgets does not contain accounting information
system failure caused by financial failure are the causes.
Another dimension of the business in terms of financial failure of the timely collection and payment.
Companies hitchs can not do debit payments for the production. This result, could not obtain the necessary raw
materials for production will be reduced. Without disrupting their activities, the liquidity position of businesses
to improve profitability, cash inflows and outflows should also take into account the planning.

Out of Business Reasons in Financial Failure
In the economy liquid cash cycle by increasing ,the country's economy development is, increases with
income, employment and especially the production. The economy revival and development of enterprises'
financial structure to strengthen contribute important. National revenue structure, the inflationary and
dezenflasyonist trends, economic policies, macro-economic indicators to the national economy that additives that
affect the financial success of companies are among the primary factors. (Dinçer 1996:53,Eren 1990:70-71). Of
these, as well as technological innovations and developments for business carries critical. New production
techniques wiil reduces, production costs, reducing the innovations do not make the business cost of any of the
relative increase their competitiveness. As we today global economy, the unit cost of profitability rather
impressed it is considered that the activities continue with the company, particularly the costs of businesses that
are reducing the minimum level.
One of the most important factor in business is technology. Technology for the business required of all
information, communications quickly and cost-effectively be provided. global economic have units to reduce
costs, consumers need to answer to, most importantly, profit and profitability to increase information for the
operating system for businesses vital. Technology processes to operate large deals in may provide, may also
reduce the risk of assets. (Dinçer 1996:51). Technological innovation, practicality and speed. ınformation
businesses operating system can be used effectively in competition with businesses, cost leadership may pass to
the front of many businesses.

Measures Towards Improving the Financial Status
Financial structure deteriorated and unable to meet payment obligations on time, to strengthen the
financial situation in enterprises for a number of measures to be taken. companies measures are grouped under
four main headings.
Strategic Measures
Future uncertainty is high today, it is impossible that companies effectively operate in the planning and
implementation. Today's businesses is quite complex with a structure is also considering, business management
strategy, the determination of its financial condition empowering nature pay attention. Economic failure to
prevent the need to be strategic measures following as can be sorted (Aydın 2007;451-453);
•Making Swot analysis and take preventive measures
•Making medium-and long-term by following the developments on the economy
•Identifing the market targets according to product groups, accordance with the management plan
Precautions to be Taken in the Field of Costs
The extension of debt maturity
The cash management business for the future if a serious obstacle facing temporary financial problems,
the firm's debt maturity, is extended by creditors to supply funds to businesses would be given the opportunity.
Because when the management contacts with enforcement, it will be receivables to collect performance fees.
Beside this thinking that it could not take a large portion of the charge, this could not claim most of charge.
Improve companies receivables net charged availability, debt extension in the financial situation for the future
promising enterprises, the creditor company in terms of rationalization would also owe the business picked
himself up to the opportunities provided, and thus happens the business liquidation or bankruptcy in the process
prevented. If necessary changes are made in management and the measures are not taken until debt maturities,
the event probability increases that management through the out without problems.(Büker,Bayar ve Sevil
2001:420)
Abandonment of claims through a section of the Magistrates
Refer law enforcement for claims to collect from the borrower company, generally a large part of the
funds could not receive. Because of management may be cash take a portion of the peace and abandon the rest
settle for if both legal lengths and deal does not need to as well as peace through education could amount
collected.

234

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

Representatives of the firm's receivables by a committee of the Managing
Creditors can be request that the firm's management take the company's financial condition is
corrected. Another method is if the entity's management to have a say in financial support. Management that
seized the company management keeps control of management until improve financial status, if it could not
correct, it helps to entry the process of liquidation.
Capital Structure Reorganization and Strengthening of Capital
Other way to out of the failure for management which fallen to failure and unable to pay their debts,
failure to agree a way out with one of the creditors, the amount of claims for money by the business partners to
strengthen capital (Büker,Bayar ve Sevil 2001:421).
Those can take that measures for the restructuring of capital;
- Instead of debt giving the capital share
- Instead of bonds giving the stocks
- Taking new share holders
- Reduction of the nominal value of stocks in companies
- Decreasing of bond rate.
- Instead of common share giving preference stock
Table 2: Measures for the restructuring of capital
Fixed assets are sold as Long-Term Renting
Excessive investment in fixed assets if companies did it by selling the surplus, to place a long-term
leasing new assets by the method of operating cash needs can be met by renting. Due to leasing, to be a longterm financial management, accounting as expenses and tax advantages, the widely used by businesses.
Fixed assets of subsidiaries and partially or fully translated into the currency
Selling of building, machinery, land and equipment which don‘t contribute to the management to
liquidate, gives management cash conversion, as well as would have been the depreciation expense savings.
The other firms with a company in the United
A financially bleed company merger with another company and revival of the supply of a failed
business. Present sector, according to the structure, market controls, or increase profits for mergers or joint
ventures to provide management in terms of rationalization can.
Selling of Management Whole or Part
Operational cost is high subsidiaries or affiliates profit loss analysis after sell. But in long-term can be
considering the current financial failures will continue this business in whole or in part is sold, rational. Thus
failed business hand to issue a business cash flow can be ensured as well as amortization expenses decreased by
Significant savings can be achieved in the operating expenses. (Dinçer 1996:175).
Cost Reduction
An important cost area is raw matarial in management . Raw matarials purchases to save on supply
conditions improve, in use of waste and waste disposal, inventory costs, reducing some vehicle equipment
purchases instead of a bike path to be measures such as cost reduction of the privided. Cost mitigation measures
can be summarized as follows;
• If there is a demand narrow or stock oversupply, cost and expense cutting down about producing
• Skilled and talented in the areas of business activities should continue, should withdraw from the areas of poor
or weak
• Particularly if the current increases developments in exchange rates, should be cut imports, , raw material needs

235

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

to be provided from the domestic market.
• Travel expenses should be reduced
• The budget allocated to fixed assets and new investments should be reduced
2.3.2.10. Liquidation of Companies
Despite the precautions taken, the chance to continue the company's assets is low, the company's liquidation is
not the way to go to a compulsory liquidation. Because of business is greater than the benefits to be obtained
from the liquidation will be more rational.

Measures to Boost Cash Flow
During periods of financial crisis, businesses must decrease collecting time, recovery time loan
maturities and discount for decrease selling inventory costs to get away from losses. One of the most important
cash items received orders. Advance receipt and sales or collateral requested as a short-term cash management
businesses can relax.

An Effective Financial Management and Planning
Financial management is sensitive external environment and the macro-activities of businesses.
Strategıc financial with business within the created and the company's current situation, the projected data
analysis. Now on and future environment to determine the resulting economic, demographic and social quality of
the data analysis and the environment within the company's future to determine and to estimate the financial
goals and to identify and navigate the process is carried out(Bengshir,1996:77).

The four basic criterion

Effects of Financial Failure in Business
Enterprises' financial structure, shows differences the firm's business activities. Stops asset investments
mainly a business, it is normal that debt is more than equity capital in a mainly stop asset investment
business. if comparing the value of certaın debt and sum of long-term debt is higher, we can say for
business ―extreme owes‖. Comparing the long-term debt in excess of net debt and inventorys. If
companies long-term debt more than inventory this means that the non-cash assets in managment are
not achieved with debt they are achieved with management equity. Thus business financial failure affect
the
degree
is
reduced.
Decrease in operating profit to financial failure shows and ultimately leads to inadequate liquidity to as
the bankrupt company's failure to operate. Economic effects can be grouped into three headings
summarize.
Effects on Investment and financing
In Financially failing businesses management also seen the biggest problem, funds flow enabled. That
is result in investments late. Current period of investments can stop .Failure visit businesses in an effective
inventory policy execution, raw materials and goods across pay, is caused to spread for debt to maturities.
Business financial crisis enters its own receivables charged to, the debts to pay, for the production of essential
raw materials, supplies, and these, as well as various issues. At the end effective non-inventory policy block,
enterprise inputs and outputs of the amount planned when the realization.If production is not on the time,the
sales will fail creases, liquidity of business is getting weak as a result crisis with the effect of the company's
financial situation gets worse. Businesses is about financially unsuccessful, investments to influence the existing

236

�2nd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, June 8-9 2010, Sarajevo
fixed assets renewal or a new entity receiving. ınvestment opportunities to be requested before the financial
situation improves, and then invest the budget should be prepared, capital or financial resources must be
provided.
Effect of Profitability
Financial failure of business in losing of sales is decreasing revenue and the cost is getting more, the
company's profitability is decreasing.At collectting troubles, is getting low particularly the receivables turnover.
It will be weak its pay. Because of cash cycle is insufficient, the company can not avaluate alternative
investment opportunities and failed emerged a small but are deprived of lucrative opportunities.
Inventories and Sales Effectiveness
Inventory turnover, in other words the cost of goods sold is lower than the average ratio of inventory
desired sales means the amount could not be reached. Financially troubled the businesses, the sales of a
sufficient level, not in a production line to slow down production of the amount of reduction and long-term debt
payments difficulties caused. This is well as businesses, the financial crisis in the asset and liquidity management
difficulty is the determined sales policy not access because of their strategic goals to achieve are also affected.

The Effects of Financial Failure in Business Inventory Management
Inventory Turnover and Productivity Effect
Turnover rate is shown the company's sales rate to the average amount of inventory that how many
times to meet. The low inventory turnover in enterprises, means that the desired amount of sales can not be
reached. Inventory turnover ratio is lower one of the reasons, the business sold to inadequate is the other one too
much inventory. Financial failure falls in business ,the most common problem is not sales of the desired level in
the other receivables charged face in the difficulties are. Financially troubled the businesses, the sales of a
sufficient level, not in a production line to slow down production of the amount of reduction and long-term debt
payments difficulties caused. The sells insufficient, the collection of receivables be key delays, business liquidity
and purchasing power.This is well as businesses, financial crisis manage their assets and liquidity in times of
difficulty, because the achievement of designated sales policy and therefore unable to reach their strategic goals
are also affected.

Sales Effectiveness
Today's business in the most common questions one of the companies' strategic plans, the targeted sales
figures. Companies internal and external factors due to the desired sales figures reach the difficulty the company
cash problems.Companies the most important liquid pen is sale revenues.Because of sales desired level of the
lack of goods sold cost will increase inventory turnover and sales profitability.inventory management required in
the raw materials and finished goods reach the level fail business sales reduce the road.Inventory obtained time
effectively not be used as both the sales decline and the reputation of the injury caused. That in a situation
inventories to be different can make of the growing inventory of applications and campaigns. Unlike cash
management businesses that getting more and more inventory invesment will be paralyzed and market share
have been determined to block and eventually entered a path that goes up to the bankruptcy will cause.

Liquidity Impact on Business
Businesses at the establishment stage by partners of capital on the basis of the liquid assets first started
operating the business of the cash power. In hand of funds, investment products or commercial goods inventory
as to be converted, realized sales policy, together with their re-liquid assets into a spin this cycle of business
activity to end until.Liquidity asset management firms manage the difficulty that the biggest problems. Cash
management and effective planning is not if businesses purchase of raw materials from the tax payment until the
costs and spending cash deficiency faced with the problem caused. Liquidity insufficient purchasing advance
sale discount to benefit will stop time can not be payments to interest costs caused. This well as taxes and
payments will be delayed by the state penal sanctions exposed because of inventory management-enabled not
business's cash assets are sufficient to prevent. Indirect to as operating cash management activity on corruption
to-day spending can not become ,as a result of the liquidation or bankruptcy and go into a process that will lead
to.

Conclusion
Connect to inventory without too much money, short-term debt funding can be provided to increase the
inventory turnover rate. Financially failing businesses, the inventory turnover rate is low, sales are at a desired
level or not will result, thus operating liquidity shortage.Economic failure as a result of businesses went
bankrupt, and most employees become unemployed and even creditors, the companies that victims and their cash
flows regulated can not, and as a result from this process adversely affected Financial crisis in the business, cash
flow chart of the arrangements, their debts to restructure, if possible, debt with stocks for replacements, inert
tangible assets to sell, the costs of reducing possible, as well as business management and organizational scheme
to modify,the financial crisis at least with loss through will ensure . Although all these measures, if the financial
failure is still running, the business financially restructuring, downsizing strategy, the implementation of the
rational, non-affiliates or subsidiaries to sell. financial failed businesses restructuring as a result of the current
situation for the future bright appear unless the company's liquidation to be investors, both creditors is rational
for enterprises with the least harm will withdraw from the market.

Abstract: In this research, heat treated AISI 5115 (16MnCr5) cementation and AISI 52100
roller bearing steels were investigated. The specimens that were prepared before and after
heat treatment application were sectioned via wire-erosion machine. Specimens were properly
sanded and polished to get a smooth surface. Optical micrographs of each specimen were
taken by a Nikon Eclipse ME 600 metallographic microscope. These specimens were then
examined by using a Dynamic Ultra Micro Hardness (DUH) tester under a set of maximum
loads of 200, 400, 600, 800, and 1000 mN. For each heat treated and non-heat treated
specimen subjected to load-unload cycle under the same amount of maximum load, load vs.
penetration depth curves were plotted. By comparing the resultant load-unload curves, types
of the residual stresses were determined. Individual calculations were made for tensile and
compressive residual stresses to obtain the residual stress values.

Introduction
Residual Stress after various product stages such as welding, casting, surface processing and heat
treatment process that remain in parts. Varieties relevant with welding manufacturing, casting, surface treatments
and heat treatment effect mainly reason become residual stress. Residual stress because of in part after
manufacturing will be applied external stress during service, effect with residual stress (Dilmeç et al., 2008). In
this case, contained residual stress in a part, real applied condition may be much different from estimated that
results obtained by analysis/calculate on part. Tensile and compressive residual stresses consist of thermal stress
resulting from cooling difference between surface and core of material. This stresses may be beneficial or
harmful to the material performance (Asi &amp; Asi, 2003). While, tensile stresses decrease fatigue life of material
so early damage, compressive stresses act to increase fatigue life of materials. Successful heat treatment process
may hinge upon achieving not only the appropriate surface finish, hardness, but also a residual stress distribution
producing the longest component life
During surface hardened process such as cementation and nitruration, surfaces are heated in carbon or
nitrogen atmosphere. These of result, volume of surfaces grow up and compressive residual stresses are
becoming in the surfaces. Depending on rising hardened layer thickness in the cemented steel increase
compressive residual stresses. Therefore abrasion resistance and fatigue strength in parts of surfaces is increased
(Karataş et al., 2001). To understand the significance of these effects on the production of parts such as bearing
ball and gears, and to evaluate material's performance during service need to know level of residual stress.
There are many destructive and nondestructive methods in order to measure the residual stresses in
materials. Non-destructive residual stress measurement techniques make use of different characteristics of
samples in order to obtain residual stress. There are magnetic method, ultrasonic method, raman spectroscopy,
X-ray diffraction and neutron diffraction. The main principle of the destructive methods is that by removing
some part of the sample depending on the technique. Sahin et al. (2003) determined residual stresses near the
surface of the material by the hole-drilling strain-gage method. In addition, the contour method is one of the

308

�recent destructive residual stress measurement techniques. Turski and Edwards (2009) examined the
measurement of transverse residual stresses within the bead-on-plate weld specimen using the contour method.
Suresh and Giannakopoulos (1998) have first introduced indentation technique which is a destructive technique
for estimating residual stress. Comparing with traditional techniques, the depth-sensing indentation technique
provides a quick and effective method of measuring the residual stress field (Chen et al., 2006). In this
technique, experimentally determined the type and magnitude of residual stresses from automatically drawn
load-unload curves from computer which connected microhardness test equipment, can be easily calculated
residual stress. Being a destructive testing method, instrumented sharp indentation has been applied in recent
years as a technique to evaluate the inhomogeneously distributed residual stresses caused by plastic deformation
or thermal effects in welded, cast, surface processed and heat treated materials. By utilizing instrumented sharp
indentation, residual stresses produced by various different processes on material surfaces can be directly
measured. It’s evident through current studies that results obtained by using this technique are robust enough to
compare with other methods. As a fast and reliable means of residual stress evaluation, it’s believed that this
technique will become a common practice in the foreseeable future.
In the present study, subjected to heat treatment of AISI 5115 (16MnCr5) and AISI 52100 (100Cr6)
steels were measured in the bottom of surface the residual stresses using indentation techniques.

Instrumented Indentation Method
The microindentation technique (Nishibori et al., 1978; Dub et al., 2002) has been developed in some
decades, and the mechanical properties within a sub-micron or nano scale are widely discussed. The techniques
are expected to be useful for measurement of the mechanical properties of thin films or local structure of various
materials. While employing the instrumented indentation technique at nanoscale one can directly determine the
nanohardness, Young’s modulus and the deformation characteristics (Reibold et al., 2005). From the loading and
unloading curve the nature of elastic–plastic transition can be analyzed.
Elastic modulus E and microhardness H can be obtained with the load and penetration depth data (Uzun
et al. 2005). During indenter loading, test material is subjected to both elastic and plastic deformation. The three
key parameters needed to determine the hardness and modulus are the peak load (Pmax), the contact area (Ac) and
the initial unloading contact stiffness (S). Similar to the conventional microhardness testing, the micro
indentation hardness is usually defined as the ratio of the peak indentation load, Pmax, to the projected area of the
hardness impression, Ac, i.e.
P
Pmax
( Ac = 26.43hc 2 )
(1)
H = max =
2
Ac
26.43hc
Different approaches for deducing the contact depth, hc, from the resultant load displacement curve have been
purposed and perhaps the most widely used one is that of Oliver and Pharr (Oliver &amp;.Pharr, 1992). The Oliver
and Pharr (1992) data analysis procedure begins by fitting unloading curve to an empirical power-law relation.
(2)
P = α(h − hf )m
where P is the indentation load, h is the penetration depth, hf is the final unloading depth and α and m are
empirically determined fitting parameters. Using the initial part of the unloading curve, both stiffness and contact
depth are determined by differentiating Eq. (2) at the maximum depth of penetration, h = hmax. Then, the stiffness
of the contact is given by

In this study, the Oliver and Pharr (1992) method was used to calculate the initial stiffness (S), contact depth (hc)
and hence reduced modulus (Er) and hardness (HV).

Where E and ν are Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio for the specimen, and Eo and νo are the same

As explained above, instrumented indentation is characterized by a sharp rigid indenter which
mechanical properties are known (frequently made of a very hard material like diamond) penetrating normally
into a homogeneous solid where the indentation load, P, and displacement, h, are continuously recorded during
one complete cycle of loading and unloading (Figure 1).

�Figure 1: Schematic graph of the indentation load–depth curve (Son et al., 2003)
Measured residual stress is based on the calculation of the difference between the indentation contact
areas of with and without stressed surfaces by analyzing ‘‘indentation load–depth’’ data according to the below
equations (Suresh &amp; Giannakopoulos, 1998):

For tensile residual stress
Ac/Ao = (1-(σr / ρave ))-1
For compressive residual stress
Ac/Ao = (1+(σr sinα / ρave )) -1

(5a)
(5b)

where Ac and Ao are the indentation contact areas with and without residual stress (σr), respectively. α is a
geometric factor, where a is related to the indentation angle of the indenter. If the Vickers pyramid indenter is
used α = 22o. ρave is the average contact pressure, ρave =Pmax/Amax
Depend on the type of residual stress (tensile or compressive) as shown in Figure 2 if the indentation
contact area ratio (Ac/Ao) is known then σr values can be calculated simply from Equation (1a) or (1b).

Figure 2: The indentation load-depth (P-h) curves for the surfaces with and without residual stresses.
We now seek to derive the effects of a compressive residual stress on the contact areas and indentation
penetration depths. Figure 2 schematically shows the load-depth curve for the indentation of the virgin material,
and that for the substrate with an equibiaxial compressive residual stress. Assume that the following loading
history takes place. The material with the residual stress is first indented with a load P1 which causes the indenter
to penetrate it by a depth h1. This point is denoted by the symbol X in Figure 2 (Suresh &amp; Giannakopoulos,
1998)
Keeping the indentation depth h1 constant, let the indented material now undergo a complete relaxation
of the residual stress, i.e. let the residual stress relax from σxRo = σyRo 0 to zero at a fixed penetration depth, h1=h2.
In order for the average contact pressure pave to remain invariant, the equivalent plastic strain beneath the
indenter should be preserved, as noted earlier. Consequently, the change in the stress state of the material
beneath the indenter during the release of this compressive residual stress must be hydrostatic. The resulting
310

�tensile hydrostatic stress, σH, σxRo, σyRo, σzRo can be regarded as introducing an effective differential force of
magnitude σHfA in the z direction, i.e. in the direction of the applied indentation load, as shown in Figure 3,
where f= sinα. Thus, as the compressive residual stress, σxRo, σyRo is released and the point of indentation moves
from location X to location Y in the P-h curves in Figure 2, the contact force effectively decreases from P1 to P2
at a constant penetration depth, h1=h2. In summary, for a fixed indenter penetration depth and for X-Y in Figure
2,

P1-P2= σHfA=- σxRo fA= -σyRo fA

From the equation (2) can be obtained ratio (Ac/Ao) :

(6)

where σy and σyR are the yield strengths of the surface with and without residual stress, respectively, σu is the
ultimate strength (Suresh &amp; Giannakopoulos, 1998).

Figure 3: Schematic representation of residual stress while indenter is under contact position with material a) for
Suresh and Giannakopoulos (1998) b) for Atar et al. (2003)
Suresh and Giannakopoulos (1998) reported that according to the upper-bound solution of the
compressive residual stress, the magnitude of the force acting normal to the inclined faces of the indenter during
indentation is σrfA as shown in Figure 3a. Since α=22o for the Vickers pyramid indenter, the geometric factor f
=sinα is noted as 0.375 theoretically. In the present study, the geometric factor was calculated experimentally as
1, which corresponds to an a value of 90o. This indicates that the impelling force having a value of σrA is acting
against the applied indentation load in the direction of indentation (perpendicular to the indentation contact area)
rather than the component of the residual stress acting normal to the inclined faces of the indenter. Thus, Net
indentation load =applied indentation load- impelling force as shown in Figure 3b. Therefore, for the calculation
of the residual compressive stress in materials by utilizing the Vickers pyramid indenter, Eq. (5b) should be
modified as (Atar et al., 2003):

In this study, we draw attention to residual stress calculation of AISI 5115 and 52100 bulk material after heat
treated by indentation method. In this context, Both Atar et al. (2003) and Suresh &amp; Giannakopoulos (1998)
method were used and compare with each other. Firstly, mechanical properties of materials were examined by
Shimadzu Dynamic Ultra-micro hardness test machine for estimating Young’s modulus due to load-unload
sensing analysis, in addition to mechanical investigation hardness-force and Young’s modulus-force curves of
the coatings were obtained. Load depended elastic modulus and hardness were obtained at 200 mN, 4000 mN,
600 mN, 800 mN and 1000 mN applied peak loads. After obtaining characteristics indentation curves under
applied loads of different quality virgin and heat treated materials, residual stresses were calculated with two
different indentation approaches.

Experimental Study
High carbon through-hardening steel AISI 52100 and case-carburized low carbon steel AISI 5115 are
used for antifriction bearings and gears, shafts, axles, cam. (Stickels &amp; Janotik, 1980). Case-carburized parts and

311

�cemented steels develop compressive residual stresses at the surface. Compressive residual stresses at the surface
are beneficial performance of material, which during service.
In this experimental study, samples were manufactured from rods of an AISI E52100 ball bearing steel
and AISI 5115 (16MnCr5) carburizing steel. This samples chemical composition is given in Table 1 and Table 2.
The samples turned a disk with a thickness of 0.50mm and a diameter of Ø22mm after the samples were cut
from rod at a wire EDM machines samples to measure with and without the stresses before and after heat
treatment processing, respectively.

Carburizing programs were carried out in gas atmosphere at 960°C and 840°C for16MnCr5 and 100Cr6,
respectively at heat treatment. During the carburizing process the carbon potential of batch furnaces was adjusted
to 1.2 % C and 0.45 % C at 960°C and 840°C and then reduced to maintain the final surface carbon content of
the 16MnCr5 specimen below 0.8% C and but increased above 0.8% C of the final surface carbon content for
100Cr6 specimen. Specimens were processed in the direct quenched condition and then were tempered at 80°C
for 20-30 minutes. Surface preparation of the disks was done by grinding and polished.
These specimens were then examined by using a Dynamic Ultra Micro Hardness (DUH) tester under a
set of maximum loads of 200, 400, 600, 800, and 1000 mN. For each heat treated and non-heat treated specimen
subjected to load-unload cycle under the same amount of maximum load, load vs. penetration depth curves were
plotted. During the test load-depth (P-h), elasticity modulus and hardness data of each samples were recorded
with connected computer. By comparing the resultant load-unload curves, types of the residual stresses were
determined. Individual calculations were made for tensile and compressive residual stresses to obtain the residual
stress values.

Results and Discussion
The mechanical properties such as hardness, Young’s modulus, fracture toughness, ductility, etc are
important parameters for industrial application. Shimadzu Dynamic Ultra Micro Hardness Testing machine is
used for determination hardness variation and young modulus of FeB layers. Different loads such as 200, 400,
600, 800, 1000 mN are applied for determination of hardness and Young’s modulus. Loading and unloading
curves of AISI 5115 and 52100 before and after heat treated materials are shown in Figure 4 and 5. According to
the results, compressive characteristics residual stresses were obtained for each material.

Hardness study of samples is shown in Figure 7 a). When the applied loads increased from 200 to 1000
mN, hardness values of AISI 5115 and 52100 quality steel were decreased from 5,40 to 3,64 GPa and 4,38 to
3,38 GPa, respectively. After heat treatment regime and compressive residual stress (reduction of contact area),
hardness of samples increased as 26,60 to 14,69 GPa and 24,92 and 16,09 GPa for AISI 5115 and 52100 quality
steels under same applied loads.
Yield and ultimate stress of samples were determined by analyzing the indentation load–depth data
according to the step by step procedure (Suresh &amp; Giannakopoulos, 1998). This calculation procedure was
applied for both AISI 5115 and 52100 quality steels and their heat treated samples. Yield and ultimate stress
values differences between virgin and heat treated samples were given in Figure 7 b) and c). Each result
influenced from applied loads and indentation size effect active in this model.

Abstract: Olive mill wastewater (OMW) is produced seasonally by a large number
of small olive mills scattered in Mediterranean countries. It has a high environmental
impact because of the concentration of its pollutant content and the quantity of waste
water produced. OMW contains high amounts of organic, inorganic and polyphenols.
It affects the water and soil quality, is toxic to plant life, and create odor nuisance
when disposed into the environment. The main problem regarding the disposal of
OMW is to find an environmentally friendly and economically viable solution.
Among the various techniques proposed, biological treatment appears to be
convenient from the economic point of view. The biological treatment of OMW is
quite difficult since it contains many complex substances, mostly when more easily
degradable carbon source is present in the medium. Several biological treatment
systems have been examined for the treatment of OMW, resulting in considerable
organic load and toxicity abatement. The present work aims to provide an updated
review of the current biological methods used in OMW treatment.
Keywords: Olive mill wastewater, OMW, biological treatment, aerobik systems,
anaerobic systems

Introduction
Mediterranean countries produce more than 98% of the world’s olive oil, which is estimated at over 2.5
million metric tons per year. About 75% is produced in the European Union (EU) (McNamara et al., 2008).
Olive oil mills are small agro-industrial units located mainly around the Mediterranean, Aegean and Marmara
seas that account for approximately 95% of the worldwide olive oil production (Ergüder et al., 2000). In the
olive growing countries of the Mediterranean area (Greece, Italy, Lebanon, Portugal, Spain, Syria, Tunisia and
Turkey) olive oil mill effluent production is more than 30 million m3 per year (Beccari et al., 1996). Olive mill
wastes are a significant source of potential or existing environmental pollution in these countries (Bejarano et al.,
1992). The difficulties of treatment of olive mill effluents are mainly related to high organic loading, seasonal
operation, high territorial scattering, and the presence of organic compounds which are hard to biodegrade such
as long-chain fatty acids and phenolic compounds.

�Olive oil mill wastewater (OMW) is formed from the water content of the fruit and water used in
washing and processes of olive oil extraction. The composition of OMW widely depends on the type of process
involved in obtaining the oil. OMW are dark-colored wastes and contain high amounts of many complex
substances that are not easily degradable (Borja et al., 1993; Sorlini et al. 1986). Generally, OMW can be treated
by conventional biological treatment methods or can be utilized as fermentation raw material for the production
of value added microbial products. However, this OMW also contains high concentrations of phenolic
compounds which inhibit microbial activity. This makes biological treatment or microbial fermentation difficult
(Massadeh and Modallal, 2008).
The uncontrolled disposal of OMW is becoming a serious environmental problem, due to its high
organic COD concentration, and because of its high content of microbial growth-inhibiting compounds, such as
phenolic compounds and tannins. The improper disposal of OMW to the environment or to domestic wastewater
treatment plants is prohibited due to its toxicity to microorganisms, and also because of its potential threat to
surface and groundwater (Ramos-Comenzana et al., 1996, Shaheen and Karim, 2007). When OMW are disposed
into the environment, they create odor, color and increased oxygen demand in water bodies. They also affect the
soil quality and plant life. Therefore, discharge of OMW into receiving media is not permissible unless
treatment.
Olive oil production and wastewater generation
The basic steps in production of olive oil are always the same. Batch and continuous processes are the
main methods used in the system. The first step in the oil production process is cleaning the olives and removing
the stems, leaves, twigs, and other debris left with the olives. The second step is produced olive oil by crushing
olives and extracting the oil by stone mills, metal tooth grinders, or various kinds of hammer mills or chemical
means (Dalis et al. 1996). The olive paste generally stays under the stones for 30 to 40 minutes. The purpose of
crushing is to tear the flesh cells to facilitate the release of the oil from the vacuoles. Mixing the paste for 20 to
45 minutes allows small oil droplets to combine into bigger ones. The paste can be heated or water added during
this process to increase the yield, although this generally results in lowering the quality of the oil. The next step
consists in separating the oil from the rest of the olive components (Azbar et al. 2004). This used to be done with
presses and centrifugation except in old facilities. The oil is then left in tanks or barrels where a final separation.
Sometimes the produced oil will be filtered to eliminate remaining solid particles that may reduce the shelf life
of the product.
Finally, possible additional processing steps include refining the oil to reduce its acidity and improve
flavor by alkali or steam processing; bleaching the oil to reduce chlorophyll, carotenoids, residual fatty acids,
and pesticides using kieselguhr, activated carbon, or synthetic silica treatment, and deodorization to reduce odors
with the use of activated carbon. The olive oil production processes are summarized in Figure 1.

Figure 1. Olive oil production processes (Azbar et al., 2004).
The remaining paste still contains a small quantity (about 2-6%) of oil that cannot be extracted by
further pressing, but only with chemical solvents. This is done in specialised chemical plants, not in the oil mills.
Olive oil production processes mainly differ in the process water requirements. A two-phase plant involves two
phases and much less additional water is used than in the three-phase process. Generally, one tone of olives

526

�yields one/two tones of OMW, according to the oil extraction process used. The continuous process uses about 2
L of water for kg of olives while the discontinuous one requires much less. Although the composition is
dependent on the process used, the olive mill wastewater is a stable emulsion constituted by ‘‘vegetation waters’’
of the olives, water from the processing, olive pulp and oil.

Table 1. Characteristics of Wastewaters (Azbar et al., 2004)
An estimated 10–30 million m3 of OMW is generated every year from the production of olive oil. The
organic fraction of OMW includes sugar, tannins, polyphenols, polyalcohols, pectins and lipids (Capasso et al.,
1995). Most of the problems associated with OMW pollution can be attributed to the phenolic fraction. More
than 30 different phenolic compounds have been identiﬁed in OMW and the types and concentrations of
phenolics reported in OMW vary tremendously. In fact, phenolic compounds are responsible for several
biological effects, including antibiosis and phytotoxicity (Dalis et al. 1996). The antimicrobial activity is
principally due to phenolic compounds such as tyrosol and hydrotyrosol. Another negative property of OMW is
its extremely high organic content. Generally OMW has BOD values ranging between 12,000 and 63,000 mg/L
and COD values between 80,000 and 200,000 mg/L. These concentrations are approximately 400 times higher
than municipal sewage (Al-Malah et al., 2000). As microorganisms present in the environment consume these
materials, oxygen will be depleted from the water with adverse effects on the aquatic media. Common disposal
practices for OMW include direct discharge into soils or streams and use of evaporation ponds or lagoons. (AlMalah et al., 2000; Galli et al., 1997).
Biological treatment processes
Treatment processes must be efﬁcient, allow for easy and economical operation in small-scale farm
settings, and consider the seasonality and the distribution of olive oil production. Therefore, a variety of
biological methods (e.g., aerobic or anaerobic bioreactors, composting) and microorganisms for treatment of
OMW have been tested, and reviewed by many researchers to remove the dark coloration, reduce the organic
load and remove phytotoxic compounds (Capasso et al. 1995).
Aerobic processes
Aerobic biological processes are commonly used in the treatment of organic wastewaters for achieving
high degree of treatment efficiency, while in anaerobic treatment, considerable progress has been achieved in
anaerobic biotechnology for waste treatment based on the concept of resource recovery and utilization while still
achieving the objective of pollution control (Chan et al. 2009). Using a simple aerobic treatment for OMW is not
effective because of the its characteristics. However, biological treatment is possible when a combination of
aerobic and anaerobic methods is applied, especially when it is diluted with municipal wastewater.
A number of different aerobic microorganisms have been tested in aerobic processes to treat OMW,
including Bacillus pumilus, Arthrobacter sp., Azotobacter vinelandii, Pseudomonas putida and Ralstonia sp. and
various bacterial consortia (McNamar and et al., 2008). Several studies of aerobic degradation of OMW have
focused on A. vinelandii. For example, Papadelli et al. (1996) isolated a strain of A. vinelandii from soil treated
with OMW. Eventually, 490% removal of phytotoxic compounds from OMW was achieved using this strain
(Ehaliotis et al., 1999; Piperidou et al. 2000).

527

�A number of studies have also utilized bacterial consortia coming from activated sludge, commercial
communities, soil, and wastewater. Bioremediation of OMW using aerobic consortia has been quite successful in
these studies, achieving signiﬁcant reductions in COD (up to 80%) and the concentration of phytotoxic compounds, and complete removal of some simple phenolics.
Aerobic treatment has been also carried out in the presence of various strains of fungi such as white rot
fungi (including the edible mushrooms Lentinula and Pleurotus), Basidiomycetes sp. and Aspergillus niger and
several different yeasts. In addition to reduction of COD and removal of simple phenolics, fungi are also
effective at reducing coloration of OMW. The different biological treatments lead to very variable reductions in
COD and polyphenol levels depending on the performance of the strains selected for use.
Anaerobic processes
The anaerobic digestion is a biological process in which a complex community of microorganisms work
in a stable, self-regulating steady state converting waste organic matter into a mixture of carbon dioxide and
methane gases (Kaspar and Wuhrmann, 1978; Zeikus, 1980; Gujer and Zehnder, 1983; Speece, 1983; Sterling et
al., 2001). Anaerobic treatment is considered as a cost-effective alternative, if compared to aerobic treatment
especially for high organic industrial wastewater. Anaerobic digestion has a great number of advantages: low
nutrient requirements, energy savings, generation of low quantities of sludge, excellent waste stabilization,
production of biogas (methane) without the requirement of pre-treatments of the residues (Kang and Weiland,
1992; Weiland, 1993; Yadvika et al., 2004).
OMW is an effluent of the olive oil extraction process. The large volumes involved, along with the high
phenolic content and chemical oxygen demand, cause major environmental problems. However, the seasonal
production and high organic loading of OMWs make anaerobic treatment a very attractive option for these
wastes. Furthermore, production of much less biosolids (sludge) and biogas as a valuable end product, which
may offset the associated treatment costs, further add to the positive aspects of anaerobic treatment (Ergüder et
al., 2000). Anaerobic digestion processes produces useful energy and result in a net reduction in CO2 emissions.
Another advantage of anaerobic digestion is that a digester can be started up after more than eight months under
non-feeding conditions (Tsonis and Grigoropoulos, 1993), and is thus suitable for the treatment of seasonal
wastes such as OMW. The low rate anaerobic sludge blanket type reactor is considered as the most efficient
anaerobic reactor for the treatment of OMW.
Anaerobic digestion is usually the basic biological process for OMW treatment since it has many
advantages compared to aerobic treatment. These include no aeration requirements, lower sludge production,
lower nutrient requirements, the production of methane gas, and the quick recovery of anaerobic systems that
have been dormant for a long time (Droste, 1997). The last point is particularly important, as the treatment unit
will be without wastewater for about 8-9 months.
In the last decade, most of the research conducted on OMW treatment has been focused on the use and
development of anaerobic methods and bioreactors that can remove efficiently the high organic load (Boari et al.,
1984; Borja et al., 1992; Hamdi, 1995; Andreozzi et al., 1998) as well as reduce the toxicity of microorganismsinhibiting materials present in OMW (Paredes et al., 2001). It has been reported that anaerobic bacteria
decompose organic materials in a three-stage process emman et al., 1997). In the first stage, anaerobic bacteria
degrade complex organic materials into simpler compounds; namely, polysaccharides and polyphenols are
converted to their monomers (monosaccharides and phenols, respectively). During the second stage, acetogenic
bacteria convert the phenols and the monosaccharide into organic acids, such as acetic, lactic and formic acids
and alcohol. Finally, in the third stage, methanogenic bacteria, which are characterized by their sensitivity to pH,
convert the organic acids into biogas (a mixture of 60–80% methane and other gases, mainly carbon dioxide).
The presence of compounds toxic to methanogens in OMW appears to be a significant problem for
anaerobic digestion of OMW. The presence of phenolics limits the effectiveness of aerobic or anaerobic
treatment of this wastewater. Minimising the effects caused by high concentration of phenolics, OMW must be
diluted prior to either aerobic or anaerobic processes. Although dilution decreases the concentration of the toxic
compounds present in wastewater, making it easier to reach the required standards for the final effluent, it also
causes an increase in waste volume, which is not desired (El-Gohary et al., 2009).
A lot of researches were made for the anaerobic treatment of OMW in the literature. Some of them was
summarized in here: For example, Boari and Mancini (1990) studied the biological treatment of olive mill
effluent wastewater. They studied the effect of sedimentation, coagulation, followed by aeration. They also
studied BOD, COD, and suspended solids as main parameters and found that the removal percentage of organics
was higher than 90%. Their results using anaerobic digesters showed 70% removal of COD, and more
economical operation. Hayek et al. (1996) reduced the COD by 75% using upflow anaerobic sludge blanket
(UASB) reactor.
Ergüder et al. (2000) reported that OMWW could be treated anaerobically with high efficiencies (85.4–
93.4%) and treatment of 1 L OMWW by anaerobic methods resulted in production of 57.1±1.5 L of methane gas
528

�(i.e. 413 mL of methane gas was produced from degradation of 1 g of COD found in olive mill waste water).
Authors concluded that olive mill wastes can be treated under anaerobic conditions leading to production of
biogas in significant amounts.
Reductions in COD from 70% to 89% have been reported for anaerobic processes (Borja et al., 1996;
Marques et al., 1997; Marques, 2001). In addition to a substantial reduction of COD, Dalis et al. (1996) reported
large reductions (475%) in the concentrations of both toxic phenols and volatile fatty acids using a two stage
anaerobic reactor with an inoculant obtained from a domestic wastewater facility. In contrast, other studies have
reported that the build up of recalcitrant phenolics (e.g., condensed tannins, Zouari and Ellouz, 1996) as well as
the presence of long-chain fatty acids (Hwu and Lettinga, 1997) in anaerobic reactors inhibited microbial activity.
Subuh (1999) has conducted anaerobic digestion of OMW using laboratory scale Up-flow Anaerobic
Sludge Blanket (UASB) reactor. He proved that removal efficiency of the soluble fraction of COD reached 76%
using the UASB. Sabbah et al (2001) have evaluated different techniques for the treatment of OMW including
aerobic and anaerobic combined with physical treatment methods. Different types of reactors were checked such
as stirred-tank reactor, fluidized-bed reactor, and UASB reactor. UASB has showed a promising technique for
anaerobic treatment of OMW.
The anaerobic wastewater treatment processes have been tested for the treatment of olive mill effluents
in pilot scales. They have been tested in large scales as well, but only in combination with aerobic processing. A
multistage system with first an anaerobic stage and a sequential aerobic treatment stage has been investigated by
Steegmans (Steegmans, 1987). Sabbah et al. (2001) found that removal of the phenolic compound and possibly
other toxic materials that inhibit the growth of microorganisms using in the primary treatment step contributes
significantly on increasing the efficiency of anaerobic digestion.
Anaerobic digestion of unmodified OMW have been concerned with problems such as high toxicity and
low biodegradability and acidification of the reactor (Boari et al. 1984; Borja et al. 1992). However, the
efficiency of anaerobic digestion was increased when preceded by a pretreatment step. Several treatment
methods can be used as pretreatment of OMW such as physical (flotation, membrane seperation, gravitty settling,
ultrafiltration, centrifugation, coagulation etc.) and chemical (such as fenton oxidation processes) and biological
(aerobic, composting). For example, pretreatment of OMW by previously aerobic fermentation with Aspergillus
niger (Martin et al., 1991) and Geotrichum candidum (Beccari et al., 1999) could reduce residence time required
for anaerobic process. Selective preremoval of inhibitors such as lipids and poly phenols through lime or
lime/bentonite addition followed by phase separation before anaerobic digestion as a chemophysical treatment
has been studied (Box, 1983). Similarly, Azbar et al. (2008) compared the methane production in an anaerobic
digester fed with either raw or chemically pretreated OMW. They found over 80% increase in biogas production
when digesting OMW after chemical pretreatment. Accordingly, it has been concluded that, the anaerobic
biodegradability of OMW could be significantly enhanced by chemical pretreatment. El-Gohary et al. (2009)
reported that an integrated system consisting of catalytic oxidation using Fenton’s in combination with a two
stage anaerobic post-treatment (classical UASB followed by hybrid UASB) is recommended for treatment of
olive mill wastewater. The use of Fenton’s reaction as a primary treatment of OMW enhances the efficiency of
anaerobic digestion.

Conclusion
Generation of OMW in the Mediterranean region has a significant environmental impact and the high
organic polluted OMW affects the soil, groundwater and watercourses. Besides, the seasonal nature of olive oil
production, the geographic dispersion of mills and economic limitations for cost effective treatment all present
significant challenges in designing treatment options for OMW. However, OMWis not managed properly, due to
the fact that there is at present no reliable management plan. Therefore, a shift in current management schemes is
required that focuses on both the sustainable conservation of water resources in the Mediterranean region and on
the development of a cost-effective management method for OMW. Overall, the incorporation of biological
processes provides some of the most viable options for the treatment of OMW. Effective treatment methods will
be resulted in significant reductions in COD, phenolics and color allows safe and economical disposal of OMW
onto land or into surface waters.

                <text>Olive mill wastewater (OMW) is produced seasonally by a large number  of small olive mills scattered in Mediterranean countries. It has a high environmental  impact because of the concentration of its pollutant content and the quantity of waste  water produced. OMW contains high amounts of organic, inorganic and polyphenols.  It affects the water and soil quality, is toxic to plant life, and create odor nuisance  when disposed into the environment. The main problem regarding the disposal of  OMW is to find an environmentally friendly and economically viable solution.  Among the various techniques proposed, biological treatment appears to be  convenient from the economic point of view. The biological treatment of OMW is  quite difficult since it contains many complex substances, mostly when more easily  degradable carbon source is present in the medium. Several biological treatment  systems have been examined for the treatment of OMW, resulting in considerable  organic load and toxicity abatement. The present work aims to provide an updated  review of the current biological methods used in OMW treatment.</text>

Abstract: During training period in Vocational schools and faculties of the "Computer" and
"Accounting" section , the basic lessons , taught in the first year be read as references to
other courses because of teaching done in terms of spinal function.
Đn this context the aim of our study is to make a Research on students and lecturers for the
main course, training in the first year , in the relevant sections of Vocational School and
faculties and get some proposals for these courses how to be read the next period and
determining right strategy for teaching methods and removing the highest level to obtain the
maximum benefit.
As a result of this work for this part of the basic course is intended to maximize the learning.
Keywords:Education, Teaching Models, Strategies, Computer Algorithms, Accounting.

1. The factors effecting the learning
Throughout the human life as a conscious and systematic or unsystematic way to study, provide benefits.
No matter which way they interact with the educational process within the individual. During this
interaction within a specific system or person as an individual learning activities also performs as
unsystematic. Unsystematic learning can present every moment of our lives, at an event, an observation
or information obtained during a trip can be unsystematic.
Learning system is also available as a target and this target in a specific time interval, if a particular issue
within the framework of the mutual interaction of teaching / learning activities are organized. Learning /
teaching issue or concept of targeted instructional strategies with which to perform, in terms of provision
of learning is of course extremely important. Training methods and techniques used in time exactly as it
affects students, student participation is affected. In-class activities can be more effective and meaningful
to choose the right strategy, at the end of the educational process as individuals affect the exact level of
learning.
What is strategy? With a general statement of strategy, monitoring is determined to reach a goal or plan to
the entire road is called strategy. Teaching / learning strategies as a brief description of the strategy to be
taught about methods of learning which expresses the action will take place.

Today, students interested in expanding their area, hence the interest in lessons and attention spans are
decreasing. Given this situation is becoming increasingly difficult job of educators. Students 'high level of
active participation Educator's main duties are to ensure that the basic teaching strategies to identify and
issue according to the most appropriate strategy to identify near students' attention to keeping alive the
course is fun to make education .
When determining this training strategy teacher's consideration should be some of the issues are as
follows: - the region's social living conditions, - the region's and students' economic status, - the current
geographical location and local conditions, - domestic living conditions, - the education system of
structural characteristics, - the school and the environment to live in harmony with the problems, - student
readiness levels - goals and objectives for the future.
Only a few of these factors under the hood, directly or indirectly affects the education system. Be
determined to succeed in a course in strategy is only one correct strategy is not possible to determine that.
Because they may occur, regional disparities, rural / urban areas in the education level of the students
present many factors such as differences will show for the training will give the people of these factors
taken into consideration as strategies are needed.
These cases should be considered as the basis of student interest in lessons in the process of training and
motivation will be to maximize the Mental present. The necessary methods and strategies will be
effective for determining the factors which require investigation are available. The main topics of the
students, cognitive, affective and psycho-motor behavior in the development, economic and social
conditions, students impact on domestic education and training environments creates conditions are so
versatile, must be considered and that under the conditions appropriate strategies must be determined.
If we take the step to determine strategies that observations should be made.
- Students must recognize that education should be defined purpose and goal.
- Students need to be determined. Course in relation to previous knowledge level should be determined,
the course content info needed and expectations can be learned.
- Course later life or in our daily life, what will benefit or how to get a place to be, the students should be
informed why to learn
- Students' ideas and thoughts configuration, ten of how A learning course will be about the way must be
shown.
- Each student's intelligence structure is different because the students' learning and understanding the
directions said would be different from the course in a single technique, but a very different techniques
must be used.
- To increase the Students’ interest and motivation / attention during the course collecting different
samples and different perspectives should be presented, the students should be asked to express their
viewpoint.
- Students must take responsibility according to their level and abilities that students should not be asked
more than they can do.
- Project work may be requested related to issuesç Groups of students form the teams to work should be
encouraged, distribution of tasks and responsibility must be installed.
- Training issues and problems that may occur during .the teacher be able to predict the course should be
prepared.
Learners can be used by, and again by teachers can teach mental processes including learning strategies
with the support of learned nature raising, learning ease and permanence (Babadoğan, 1994).
The students can use all learning issues or status for the different learning strategies . And learning
strategies should be varied, this situation can be changed when the show they are in nature. it Can be said
different learning strategies and develop new learning strategies that students can place can set their own
learning and effective it.
When Literature is examined it can be seen that on learning strategies in relation to different
classifications are made. Basically, the most common form of learning strategies, Repetition,
Connotation, Organizing, to understand monitoring and Affective Strategy in the form of classified (Ozer,
1998; Trust, 2004, Weinstein, 1988). All of these factors, the learning-teaching activities is effective
considering the strategy should be determined . what are the learning teaching strategies are available?

2. What are the Active Learning Performing Instructional Strategies ?
At Courses a high level of active participation of students with persistent learning level, reaching
maximum to be followed dimensions.students at learning process as possible from the highest levels of
activated,to maket hem responsible for their own learning. Classes provide a high level of student
participation are some of the basic teaching strategies. (Harm, 1994)

2. 1. Inviting to share a new event
Description: Invite the students to share new or interesting event they have experienced
Purpose : Students gather their attention to the lesson and create a healthy classroom environment
One of effective ways to begin the lesson the students will be selected a recent incident in which they live
or who to ask their opinion about a current event. the subject does not matter, students will express their
views and will debate. Talk about ideas without being overly long course should be continued by
thanking.
The aim here is to create an environment for discussion of students, the opportunity for students to
express their views . This strategy does not take students in academic subjects that a lot of ideas and
opinions about events provide revelation. The most important of these strategies into a top-class attention
and concentration provides classes for students.

2.2.To detect the known and asked to be known
Description :To ask while Getting ready for a particular student or course of study begins as relevant to
them and they know what they want to know
Purpose: To build and unit on students’interests knowledge and questions
How to ask a student who wants to learn, a curiosity or interest in his efforts to resolve the means. Also
curious to listen to other students in the class a student may be interested in different areas. This method
increases the level of readiness of both students and allows the increase of attendance, as well as the
emergence of new ideas and perspectives of students by making clear the course will determine the
direction of flow.

2. 3.To prepare a fluency lesson plans
Definition: to prepare a lesson plan which will ensure the Class for a smooth, interesting and high-level
participation
Purpose: In class, students learn the process without any penalties or rewards, of course, enough to
ensure the participation of a lot of events and activities take place
A classic way to describe the course and progress in a monotonous lecture course which will reduce the
student's attention and makes it unsuitable for learning. Stages of the course students should be provided
for class participation and interaction of learning activities must take place

2.4.Progress quickly and by fast steps
Definition: the participation of all students in class to provide the course is to ensure rapid progress.
Purpose: To prevent the spread of the students' attention.
Progress at a rapid pace strategy consists of many small steps, and each small step in the processing of a
subject is in question. If the energy of the students or the teacher feels it has fallen to the level of class
participation can go another step. In this way, students' active participation can be ensured.

284

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

2.5 As progressive or tiered teaching
Description: A teacher, a particular topic, rather than one at a time understand that sometimes come back
to the topic, the students' attendance and reduce the risk of loss.
Purpose: Students on "instant" learning to print their personal and natural learn at a pace to allow.
And time to focus on a subject to spend a long time, enabling students to learn about it is not always a
good way. Students learn a subject fully and deeply , such as a short subject, but at frequent intervals
might be useful to go back again and again. Phased and layered as education, will increase retention of
information.

2. 6.To offer a limited range
Definition: to maintain the participation of students in the classroom, but will also threaten their security
to have a variety of learning formats.
Purpose: To prevent excessive diversity in course.
To have the diversified subject but this diversification should not decrease the attention of the students
towards the course . For this reason, the motivation of students and courses related to a diminution of fear
or worry is the question. Course topics and diversity in terms of limiting the control of teachers and
students to facilitate the course will keep the interest alive.

2.7.Replying to questions
Description: Ask any student in the class to answer a particular question, without asking or saying the
right answer before the teacher's questions, all students in the class they want to write the answer to a
question addressed.
Purpose: Put on the highest level of number of students to think about a question.
The implementation of this strategy is very simple. This question is asked a question to the class and say
the correct answer to all the students in the class before they are asked to write answers to a question
addressed. However, for the success of this strategy, students are asked a question with a question asking
students to answer this question is useful to take a break between. Meanwhile, or "wait time" (Rowe,
1986), in their minds of the students give an opportunity to create a response.
However, fort his success of this strategy, students are asked a question with a question asking students to
answer this question is useful to take a break between. Meanwhile, or “wait time” (Rowe, 1986), in their
minds of the students give an opportunity to create a response.

2.8. To form Working and sharing groups
Description: Students, first divided into small working groups are trying to understand a particular
problem. Students, then the different working groups composed of members coming together to teach
each other as they learn.
Purpose: To provide a high level of student participation with group works.
This strategy takes place in two stages;
First stage, classroom, working groups on specific issues or problems are created. For example, a list of
interesting words in the sentences using each of your establishment, "or" deal with real life problems that
can be applied to Generate alternatives such as ". At this stage, as well as for students to complete
assigned tasks to determine a specific time period. And usually short period of time, is better than a long
period of time, because the short time period allows students to move fast and smart. ,
In the second stage, students do not have their own working groups to come together with individuals and
their ideas were discussed in working groups will be asked to share with each other.

2.9.Strategy of write-share-learn
285

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

Description: Students answer a question before the individual authors and then share their writings with
others.
Objectives: The students basic writing skills and to gain the habit of writing as much as possible to
provide a practical quantity.
Write-share-learn strategy takes place in five stages. These phases are as follows;
- The class requiring students to reflect on a question is directed. Then all the students in the class of their
questions answered in a quiet way are asked to take special note.
- Teachers, three or four students write finished realized when students' thoughts on paper and will leave,
and students volunteer their ideas to tell ones ideas, expressing willingness to students such grants.
- Then, students are asked to share their ideas with students and interaction among students is provided.
- At this stage, students share their ideas, their partners and teachers in class are asked to share their ideas
on the subject by saying the conversation ends.
- The last phase of the teachers and students within the course of analyzing what they do, their thinking
on emerging ideas.

2.10. To focus on concepts and generalizations
Description: A course or unit, independent piece of information or details are not around, more generally,
to be built around the concept or generalization.
Objectives: The students' learning, to the level of concepts or generalizations.
In this strategy, a small piece of information and details to more general concepts, and generalizations are
used to achieve. Students not only to memorize a small piece of information, little information is asked to
analyze the generalizations reached.

2.11.To make the application work
Description: Students apply what they have learned to real life situations to ensure that the work
performed.
Purpose: Students learn to make them more meaningful, given the opportunity to cast what they have
learned into practice.
Teachers, students learn the information they want in real life applications, the course or subject may
move to the application level. In this way, students learn to reconcile with life and thus get the habit of
learning and a good location and income in real life.

2.12.Create signs
Description: Students learn important truths about life and the use of signs reminding.
Purpose: Students sensors, to ensure a balanced and self-responsible individuals.
Produced many students in the class anxiety, worry and fear are affected. These students, for example,
how teachers will be satisfied with regard, to show for their classmates' reactions to their errors, or about
the topics covered in class to understand and are concerned about can not understand. Indeed, some
students afraid to make mistakes, as they put themselves into position like stupid or ignorant not afford to
attend the events are known. Thanks to this board should not make students who are intended to
overcome the fear of making mistakes by learning.

2.13.Create table concept
Description: The class works, and periodically review a concept to create the table.
Purpose: Key concepts and important in the minds of students to enable them to stay as fresh or lively.
The most important way of organizing a classroom environment is one of the students are learning during
the year, they aim to learn the important concepts or ideas, or a wall to show the class.

286

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

Classroom teachers with the concept of the periodic table, turning from time to time outlining the issues
to ensure the permanence of the concepts discussed. In this way, will be easier for students to recall and
knowledge of the subject will be more permanent.
Vocational training and information about all of these strategies and other teaching strategies for the
course when we examine the subject and content are the most appropriate strategy should be chosen.
Besides the existing implementation of strategy rather than one to one of these strategies are appropriate
to the format of the individual making the courses can be provided.
To be reviewed as an example, consider first the IT field. The information provided in the field of
vocational education programming in the sub-branch first as a student will receive training in computer
hardware and history will be. Then the basis for programming the "Algorithm" and its follow-up structure
in a programming language, small applications that will be provided by an introduction to programming.
Programming logic programming slowly students increase their education and research in the sub-branch
as they will continue to develop programming skills.
For each course to provide the highest level of efficiency as a specific instructional strategies should be
determined at the highest level of education should be implemented to ensure the right strategy.
Determining the right strategy, both in the permanent student learning and more students in terms of
ensuring the topic is extremely important in terms of understanding.
The most fundamental issue to be dealt with here, a student will receive educational programming as the
basis for programming "algorithms" course is fully understood. Students fully understand the structure of
the algorithm to pass without programming, programming classes is largely unsuccessful.
After basic training the first student in mind, this is usually 'why' questions are created. By students,
"Algorithms" course due to the inability to connect to a reason for this question in the first period, which
is the foundation of programming a reluctance to face and understand the difficulty of this course is
observed. Yet on the basis of this course only "problem-solving logic" is located. A problem that "how"
answers to determine the manner of resolving "Algorithms."
This exceeded the highest levels of student learning and to win their first lessons about the "why"
questions are the answers must be given to the students. The answer to this question of "how" will be
given in terms of education is extremely important. As a verbal description of this course in terms of
teaching staff will be very difficult and tiring. In line with this desired efficiency of the students clearly
seems to not be obtained.
The best method of people with a learning by doing ", learning to live with" to be given a basic education,
education is very healthy in terms of yield. To achieve this purpose beginning of the semester to students
that everyone of interest related to a project identified and the related issues that may arise problems
regarding a resolution chart stickers, and so other students to their friends to tell Provided, every student
in themselves "why" questions, the answers will have. For learning to occur and thus the level of
readiness of students will come to the highest level.
In this context "algorithms" course "for the question to respond," the study and sharing groups to create
"and" Application studies to make "such methods in the course lasting learning to maximize delivery to
the correct strategy would be.
After this point needs to be explained by explaining the issues step by step in strengthening the case can
be made at a maximum level of learning.
Purpose in pursuing such a strategy as well as university students in the direction of the research will be
carried out and the burden of the teaching staff will be minimized.

Conclusions and Recommendations
As noted in the examples given are intended to be a brief lesson has to do a feasibility study for the
first month, then that should be followed on the needs of students must decide for the right strategy.

The courses mainly in the application directly through the application of the issue before the planned
application in our daily lives or in the future, students should be informed about the requirements. After
this information without the knowledge and expectations of students that must be considered. A strategy
should be determined according to students' needs and work in this direction by giving weight to ensure
that learning is required.

Abstract: In this study, the effect of using new generation fuel injection
system and electronic ignition system in a spark ignition (SI) vehicle as an
alternative fuel by using bioethanol on the exhaust emissions and performance
of vehicle will be experimentally examined. By mixing bioethanol and gasoline
in diverse proportions as 50%, the effects of this on the exhaust emissions and
performance of vehicle will be searched. An order to establish the emissions of
vehicle, by running the vehicle in different clutch types and various vehicle
speed were accounted through measuring wheel power, fuel consumption and
CO, CO2, HC, NOx exhaust emissions were measured at each gear for each
fuels.
Keywords: Bioethanol, Alternative fuels, Exhaust emissions from vehicle.

Introduction
The increase in prices of petroleum based fuels, strict governmental regulations on exhaust
emissions with increasing focus on global warming due to the greenhouse gas effect and future depletion of
worldwide petroleum reserves encourage studies to search for alternative fuels. Alcohols (ethanol and
methanol) have been considered as alternative fuels for Otto and Diesel engines. One of these alternative
fuels, bioethanol, can offer substantial reductions in consumption of fosil fuels and emission of greenhouse
gases [1-2].
Bioethanol has the opportunity to contribute to the gradual substitution of fossil fuels not only in the
gasoline sector but even in the diesel one, by two means: direct blending and ethanolysis. Besides the
advantages in production costs, direct blending of bioethanol provides higher oxygen concentration, and
thus higher potential for emissions reduction with the same volume fraction of renewable fuel blended [3].
Bioethanol is a renewable energy, it can be made from many raw materials such as sugar cane,
molasses, cassava, waste biomass materials, sorghum, corn, barley, sugar beets, etc. by using already
improved and demonstrated technologies [4-5]. Since ethanol can be fermented and distilled from
biomasses, it can be considered as a renewable energy. Under the environmental consideration, using
ethanol blended with gasoline is better than methanol because of its renewability and less toxicity [6,7].
In this study, bioethanol was obtained from sugar beet by fermantasyon method. The use of
bioethanol in a vehicle having SI engine and its effect on emissions and vehicle performance were
investigated. The study is given as a new investigation due to using vehicle having new electronic ignition
and injection system, and performed on chassis dynamometer of experiments.

�Description Of The Experimental Setup And Testing Procedure
Vehicle specifications used in the study are given in Table 1. Controlling of tyre pressure and tooths,
wheel balance and rod adjustment, engine controls performed before experiments.
The vehicle was coupled to Delorenzo HPT 6100 type chassis dynamometer. Vehicle exhaust emissions
were measured using exhaust emission analyzer which Italo – Spin type, digital displaying, can measure
CO (% vol) with 0.001 sensibility, CO2 (% vol) with 0.001 sensibility, NOx (ppm) and HC (ppm) values.
As fuel, E0 (98 octane gasoline) and E50 (50% bioethanol – 50% gasoline as volumetric) were used. Fuels
specifications used in the study are given in Table 2.
First, the vehicle was tested with E0 fuel. Then, the bioethanol – gasoline blend was also tested E50
fuel. Exhaust emissions were measured at each gear and for each fuel. The ambient air temperature, relative
humidity, and atmospheric pressure were almost constant during the tests.

Results
Wheel performance

Wheel power and fuel consumption were studied as vehicle performance. The variations of wheel power
with vehicle speed for the tested all fuels at each gear is depicted in Figure 1, 2, 3. Maximum wheel power
was measured at 60 km/h as 36.4 kW for E0 at second gear. Wheel power was measured as 31.2 kW with
E50 at same gear and speed. Maximum wheel power was measured at 80 km/h as 32.7 kW for E0 at third
gear. Wheel power was measured as 28.3 kW with E50 at same gear and speed. Maximum wheel power
was measured at 110 km/h as 29.4 kW for E0 at forth gear. Wheel power was measured as 25.7 kW with
E50 at same gear and speed.

According to results, wheel power values of E50 were lower than E0. The decrease in average power was
12.13% for usage of E50 at second gear. The decrease in average power was 13.56% for usage of E50 at
third gear. The decrease in average power was 13.4% for usage of E50 at forth gear. The lower wheel

�power obtained for E50’s could be due to fuel flow problems, as higher density and higher viscosity, and
decreasing combustion efficiency as lower thermal efficiency by heating value lower than E0.

�Fuel consumption

The variations of fuel consumption with vehicle speed for the tested all fuels at each gear are depicted in
Figure 4, 5, 6. At all vehicle speed, fuel consumption values of E50 were higher than E0. The increase in
average fuel consumption was 18.86% for usage of E50 at second gear. The increase in average fuel
consumption was 28.1% for usage of E50 at third gear. The increase in average fuel consumption was
34.2% for usage of E50 at forth gear.
One possible explanation for this increase could be due to lower heating value and higher density compared
to E0 (Table 3). Therefore, thermal efficiency of E0 is higher than thermal efficiency of E50, and fuel
consumption value of E0 is lower than fuel consumption of E50.

�The variations of HC produced by running the vehicle using E0 and E50 fuels is shown in Figure 13, 14, 15.
At all vehicle speed and each gear, HC emissions of E50 fuel are higher than HC emission of E0. The
increase in average HC emission was approx. 60% for usage of E50 at second gear. The increase in average
HC emission was approx. 54.28% for usage of E50 at third gear. The increase in average HC emission was
approx. 65% for usage of E50 at forth gear. Cause of this is bad burning with bioethanol fuels. However,
HC emission of E50 fuel is decrease due to lower heating value of E50 fuel.

�NOx emission

The variations of NOx produced by running the vehicle using E0 and E50 fuels is shown in Figure 17, 18,
19. At all vehicle speed and each gear, NOx emissions of E50 fuel are lower than NOx emission of E0. The
decrease in average NOx emission was approx. 45.2% for usage of E50 at second gear. The decrease in
average NOx emission was approx. 53% for usage of E50 at third gear. The decrease in average NOx
emission was approx. 61.71% for usage of E50 at second gear. Cause of the decrease is low of lower
heating value of E50 fuel, and thus, temperature at burning end is decrease.

Conclusion
In this study, it is shown that bioethanol as alternative SI engine fuel can be used successfully to
operate a electronic ignition SI engine without modifications to engine or injection system.
The following conclusion may be drawn from the result of the present study:
• Bioethanol is a renewable energy resource.
• Gasoline and bioethanol are similar in their chemical and physical properties.
• Bioethanol can be used cheaply and as an alternative fuel in a SI engine instead of gasoline.
• Exhaust emissions of bioethanol and bioethanol blend fuels was better than gasoline.
Result of emission tested of bioethanol’s emission values are optimistic.

Abstract: Ciğerdelen, a novel of Safiye Erol first published in 1946, is an important
study of Ottoman conquest idea and the Balkan adventure. We can say that the book
contains intertwined a few novels. On the one hand the book can be handled as a
post-modern romance, on the other hand, as a post-modern historical novel that
focused on Ottoman’s protection and defense of the Balkans. The book does not stay
away from the tradition of Turkish folk narration, and has biographical features with
the traces from author’s life. Safiye Erol, as a daughter of a Balkan originated family,
succeeded to carry the Ottoman’s love of Balkans into a concrete ground with this
novel. In this paper, we will try to analyze Cigerdelen, one of the novels that get the
Balkans to the center, by starting from its title and pointing out the couple meaning
and repetition sprinkled by the author to the whole novel.

Ciğerdelen is one of the sad novels which are not appreciated, or whose value is not understood or not
wanted to understand in Turkish literature history. This situation is totally related to the reputation of Safiye Erol
but Erol is one of the special authors of the Turkish literature. Unfortunately, the same fate of oblivion and
silence and abandonment is subject to her productive friend, Samiha Ayverdi.
Ciğerdelen is an important milestone for modern Turkish novel. The novel has a more complex fiction
than her other novels and has a spiritual atmosphere based on inspiration when we look at the writing process of
the novel. Safiye Erol, in an interview with her‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡‡, says that she lost twelve kilos, fainted twice
while writing this novel and after completion she was still sickbed. Behind the strong influence of the novel on
the reader, we can say that the writing of the author is as if she was living all the events herself.
Ciğerdelen can be evaluated as a novel that is fiction on a two layer meaning from the beginning to the
end. There is an outer story and an inner story in the novel. The inner story consists of two interconnected stories
that facilitate the cognition and make sense of outer story. While the outer story is opening the soul doors of an
intellectual woman of 1940s Turkey, the inner story is presenting a woman who is loyal to her love of the years
that are witnessing the conquest and protecting the Balkans of Ottomans. Canzi of modern Turkey and Cangüzel
of the conquest days are common souls that are suffering from similar pains of love. In fact Canzi is carrying the
fate of her ancestor Cangüzel. “Ciğerdelen” on the one hand represents strong loves of two women, on the other
hand represents one of the frontier castles of Rumelia, an important castle if surrended it will require us to come
from all Rumelia.
Ciğerdelen Castle Legend is a legend in Armorer (Silahtar) History. As an influence of “Red Apple
(Kızıl Elma)” ideal, Turks walked to the West, and fought for Ciğerdelen Castle and similar ones with conquest
soul and faith. Border castles became grave for many innocent Turkish raiders, and brought them to martyrdom.
Each conquer of a castle is something like a union with beloved; from now on it carries the danger or risk of
losing. In the novel, strong faith to these castles with patient and love of sons of Fatih (evlad-ı Fatihan), and
tolerance to every difficulty and at last martyrdom is consubstantiated to patient and faith for the love of opposite
gender despite the rudeness and cruelty of human being. The conclusion is reaching the sainthood of lover soul
by healing from all evils.
The basic hero of the novel, Architect Turhan Tuna, is the grandson of Bosnia Serhatli Koca Turhan
Bey, the son of Hersekoğlu Ahmet Pasha who was the standard bearer of Sultan Fatih, the chief vizier of
Beyazid, the second and Yavuz Sultan Selim. The heroine Canzi in other words Cangüzel is from the breed of
Cangüzel, the wife of Mustafa Durakça from the roots of Yellow Spahis (Sari Sipahiler) of same family. These
two grandchildren are going to live the continuing of their ancestors’ stories in Istanbul three centuries later.
The novel starting with the separation of Canzi (Cangüzel) and Turhan Tuna is interrupted by returns
and the narration of Rumelian Legends written by Canzi and with the completion of the legend it is back to the
beginning for the result of the love of Turhan Tuna and Canzi.

Canzi (Cangüzel) is a divorced woman. The common family stories about Rumelia recognized with
Turhan Tuna by coincidence brings them closer to each other. This getting closer will not be enough for Turhan
Tuna and the strength of his love will drag him to a diseased jealousy. Canzi is going to try to discipline Turhan
Tuna with Ciğerdelen Legend. This way depending on getting a moral tradition will not be enough for the lover
in order to open his eyes. In a moment when the suspect made him crazy without the lust of Canzi, Turhan Tuna
owns her and is going to lose the love of Canzi. This process which is a beginning of a great pain for Canzi will
make both hero and heroine ill. These two hearts that solve their mistake with heartburns that occurred centuries
ago in Rumelia, will find cure for their illnesses by getting closer to divine love from human love.
The Rumelian Legend presented to Turhan Tuna in the novel is as follows under three topics:
Yellow Spahis: Bosna Serhatli Koca Turhan Bey, son of Hersekoğlu Ahmet Pasha, settles to the land
given in Stulni-Belgrade County with his whole family after the bravery that he showed in the Balkans. He
makes a big farm house. His son Veli Bey and his grandson Sinan Bey, lived in this farm house for three
generations and contributed to the protection of this area. Turhan Bey and his grandson Sinan Bey became
martyr near Ciğerdelen; his son Veli Bey trains and grows up Mustafa Durakça, the grandson of Sinan. When
Veli Bey retired from fighting, Mustafa Durakça started to become a hero in Rumelia. On one hand having
education with his friend young Hafız Nuri, the imam of the farm house, on the other hand he was staying in
Hungarian villages and having tendency to wine with him. Durakça, fighting in the borders with Hafız Nuri, falls
in love with Mariska Kemeni, the daughter of Hungarian Governor Kemeni. Despite all the anxiety of his mother
Sümbül Hanım, the support of his grandfather Veli Koca encourages him. He goes into action after the
information that Mariska will be kidnapped by her cousin Graf Stefan. Mariska abandoned her nationality,
religion and family for Mustafa Durakça. After a little battle with Graf Stefan, Mariska is taken to the farm house
as the wife of Mustafa Durakça. Wounded Graf Stefan was brought to the farmhouse as well. He was treated
there. Durakça showed great respect to Graf Stefan after saying that Mariska’s cousin cannot be my captive. Graf
Stefan was affected from the bravery of Mustafa Durakça and Hafız Nuri after his friends’ betrayal. Graf Stefan
who lost his lover had a great soul exam. His enemy Turks became new friends never leave him alone. Graf
Stefan ranges to Turkish side and becomes Muslim and changes his name to Feridun Bey (Hungarian Feridun).
Mariska Kemeni becomes Muslim and changes her name to Cangüzel before marrying Mustafa Durakça. At first
she has no problem with her new living style as a result of her love, later starts to miss the Hungarian habits and
entertainments. Most of the time, she cannot find Mustafa Durakça next to her. Her pregnancy unites with rebels.
The newly born child is given his grandfather’s name, Sinan. Cangüzel’s exam starts with loving Sinan
idolatrously. In the world, who loves anyone or anything more than God (Allah); the exam will be from there;
cruelty and torture will give no respite. Stefan Graf passed love exam and found Islam. Mustafa Durakça became
martyr while defending Ciğerdelen Castle like his father and grandfather. Cangüzel is separated from her first
love in this way. She becomes thoroughly addicted to her son and closes her eyes with his torment. Sinan was a
scapegrace son and ruined his mother. To any entity should not go to extremes in love.
The Secret of Lovers: In this section Turhan Tuna tries to analyze his torment in the days that he falls
apart from Canzi. He nestles to the story of Kerem and Asli. His strong love to Canzi broke off him from Canzi.
First love is a spiritual disease, and then spreads to the body. Architect Turhan Tuna working for the
reconstruction of Thrace lies in bed with fever. He cannot sleep, cannot eat, struggles with the delusions among
the dreams of his ancestors.
Seven Veils: The second story related to Canzi’s family continues around Sinan the scapegrace son of
Cangüzel. The venue is again Şahin Konağı. Cangüzel and Veli Koca had passed away. Hafiz Nuri, old and
faithful Adviye Molla, Hungarian Feridun are managing the house. “What wisdom is that the hardest sorrow
comes to the men from the most beloved ones.”§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§ The plot of this story is this sentence written in
the beginning of the story. One day Adviye Molla asks Hafız Nuri: “Does loving too much mean the greatest
crime in the life?” Hafız Nuri replies: “Loving too much is attributing a partner to God.”*********************
After causing to death of his mother, Sinan who has no signs from the bravery of his father and
grandfather will become a difficult exam for Zuhre - the daughter of Hafiz Nuri. While Şahin Konak becomes a
ruin, Hungarian Feridun and Hafiz Nuri try to protect the honor of Yellow Spahis. After the Martyrdom of Hafız
Nuri in Ciğerdelen Castle defend, his daughter Zühre is brought to Sahin Konak without obeying to his will in
which he wanted his daughter to be sent to Bosnia. Zühre’s exam with love starts here. Her father trained her
very well but she falls in love with Sinan. Sinan is a monster with seven veils. He did not love anyone really, and
caused many of the women’s death beside his mother. Zühre will face his seven big cruelties after coming
together with him. Zühre behaves resignedly to every cruelty, and first gets marry with Sinan. He devotes Zuhre
for his sister-in-law Duriye Hanım as he wants Duriye Hanım’s assets. He gets divorced from Zühre and gives
all the assets of Zühre to Duriye Hanim as a wedding present. When Zühre gives birth to Sinan’s son, Sinan

marries Zühre with old Saraç Ismail and keeps her in front of his eyes near his house. Sinan Bey cannot come
closer to his son as he is scared from Duriye Hanım. He becomes such a dishonest person that he forces Zühre to
serve Duriye Hanım. Zühre will endure all the events with patient; with her heart opened to God she will pass
away as a holy person in the borders. Her son Nuri will be a proud for his ancestors but also will die in
Ciğerdelen.
These stories will help to recover jealousy disease of Turhan Tuna to Canzi (Cangüzel) and obsession
for one person more than everything. When Turhan Tuna recognizes God, after purifying his love, like all other
lovers, will meet Canzi’s mercy and the love will turn to union with beloved.
The events occurred around Ciğerdelen Castle, the stories of souls with obsession to love, grudge, ego,
and ambition, stories of people who recognize the exams in the world and who do not put the basic plot of the
novel. Everybody has a Ciğerdelen. Who serves what will get the return. A soul devoted to God and his path will
be away from all sorrows of the world. Everybody has a Ciğerdelen Castle inside him or her.

Abstract: This study was carried out to determine the effects of diets containing different
levels of inorganic and organic manganese sources on fattening performance and some organ
weights of Japanese quails. In this study, 256 one day old quail chicks were fed four levels of
inorganic and organic Mn in factorial arrangement design for 35 days. The dietary treatments
consisted of the supplementation of the basal diet with 30, 60, 90 and 120 mg/kg Mn supplied
from manganese sulphate and manganese bioplex. Dietary Mn sources as a main factor did not
effect investigated parameters. But dietary Mn levels had significant effect on all parameters
except for feed intake. Supplementation of 60 mg/kg Mn to diets resulted in an increase BW,
BWG, liver and pancreas weights, also improved feed conversion ratio.
Keywords: Manganese, performance, Quail

Introduction
Manganese (Mn) is essential for normal bone formation, enzyme function, and amino acid metabolism
in poultry (Scott et al. 1976). The utilization of Mn has become an increasing concern because of extremely
rapid growth rate of commercial broiler strains (Ji et al. 2006). National Research Council (NRC, 1994)
recommended 60 ppm Mn in broiler and quail chicks diet. However, under practical conditions the diets are
formulated to contain higher concentrations of Mn to overcome the possibility of its deficiency. This is because
of relatively low absorption of dietary Mn in birds (Sunder et al. 2006). Organic Mn sources were more
bioavailable than inorganic sources. One of the possible reasons is that there are less chelating or other unwanted
reactions with dietary constituent in the gastrointestinal tract for organic mineral complexes compared with those
for inorganic minerals (Yan and Waldroup 2006).
Diet supplementation with trace elements of high bioavailability, also known as specific amino acid
metal compounds of Mn and Zinc which bind themselves to a specific amino acid show a capacity to increase
the immune response and diminish negative effects in turkey and laying hens in respect of these minerals
inorganic forms (Menocal et al. 2004). However, according to some research results, the organic and inorganic
Mn sources reported no difference in terms of bioavailability (Baker and Holpin 1987, Scheideler 1991).
The aim of the this study to determine the effect of diets containing different levels of inorganic and
organic manganese sources on fattening performance and some organ weights of Japanese quails.

Materials and Methods
A 5-wk experiment, 256 mixed sex day-old quail chicks (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were used. Four
replicate groups of 8 chicks were assigned to each of 8 dietary treatments. The dietary treatments consisted of the
supplementation of the basal diet with 30, 60, 90 and 120 mg/kg Mn supplied from manganese sulphate
(MnSO4) and manganese bioplex. Dietary treatments were prepared from a corn-soybean common diet without
additional Mn contained 21.52 mg/kg. All birds received feed and water ad-libitum. Lighting was treated as a 23

489

�h/day. Compositions of nutrients in the diets were adjusted according to the recommendation of NRC (1994;
Table 1).
In quails, body weights (BW) and feed intake (FI) were recorded on a pen basis as weekly intervals.
Mortality was recorded daily. At the end of the experiment (at five weeks of age), four quails that randomly
selected were slaughtered at a processing plant from each replicate and processed, and then the carcass yield
were calculated to used warm carcass weight.
A general linear model (GLM) was used for the analysis of variance of the data (Minitab 2000).
Significant differences among means were tested by Duncan’s multiple range tests. Differences were considered
as significant when P values were less than 0.05 (Duncan 1980).

Results and Discussion
The effects of diets containing different sources and levels of Mn on performances are shown in Table 2
and 3. The treatments as the main sources of inorganic and organic Mn were not significantly effect on BW,
body weight gain (BWG), FI, feed conversion ratio (FCR), carcass yield, liver and pancreas weight (P&gt; 0.05).
The diets containing different levels of Mn had significantly effect on all parameters of quails except for feed
consumption (P&lt; 0.05). The best results of performance parameters, liver and pancreas percentage of BW were
obtaining in quails fed with diet containing 60 mg/ kg Mn, but the lowest results of carcass yield obtaining the
same diet. The interactions groups in the experiment, the diets containing different sources and levels of Mn had
significantly effect on BW and BWG of quails (P&lt; 0.05). The highest results of BW and BWG were obtaining
fed with diet containing MnSO4 x 60 mg/ kg Mn.
Quail studies on this subject with a limited number of studies but the results are in broilers. Quails and
broilers are similar in terms of requirements of Mn (NRC 1994). The results of the experiment, supplemental Mn
sources (inorganic and organic) there were no differences. The similar result, Berta et al. (2004) reported that the
same level of supplementation of the two Mn sources there were no differences between the Mn concentrations
of organs and tissue in broiler chicks. Additionally, these researchers stated that a corn-soybean diet
supplemental with levels of 0, 30, 60 and 240 mg/kg Mn from organic and inorganic sources did not significant
effect on the BW, FCR in broiler chicks. Collins and Moran (1999) reported that body weight and feed
490

�efficiency were not influenced by supplementary Mn (180 ppm). Also, supplemental Mn did not alter processed
carcass weights, yield, or percentage abdominal fat in broilers. Gajula et al. (2010) stated that Mn (60 ppm) as
recommended by NRC (1994) was sufficient for broiler performance and bone parameters. The results of this
study with the contradiction between the results of previously conducted studies may be due to different Mn
levels and animal material.
It is concluded that, 60 mg/kg supplementation Mn to diet is suitable in growing Japanese quails. The
number of research interest in this subject is very limited. Therefore, many studies are needed.

The Reflections of The Bosnian War on Turkish Poetry Within the
Framework of War-Literature Affinity

Abstarct:The Balkans, which deterritorialized from the Ottoman geography to a great extend as of
second constitutional period, taken up in Turkish literature with various aspects. The Balkan societies, one
of the basic issues in the Second Constitutional Period press, were paid closer attention by the Ottoman
intellectuals due o the emigrations to Istanbul. The fact that the Balkans deterritorialized from the
Ottoman territory paved the way for number of poets and authors, especially the ones popular in the
region, to write on the geography. This geography sustained its existence as a basic theme in Republican
period literature.
The Balkans, proclaimed their independence following the collapse of Yugoslavia, became a
centre of focus for the Turkish intellects once again. However, this time the interest shown is lesser than
those after the war of the Balkans. The Bosnian war became an effect to increase the gradually declining
interest; various poets-writers carried the tragedies in the war to their poems-writings.
In this study, focusing on the Bosnian war, consideration of Bosnia in New Turkish poetry will
be examined in the context of war-literature relationship.
Key Words: War-Literature, Bosnian War, Turkish Literature, Turkish Poetry

Introduction
Civilizations have their own exhibitions. Every civilization seeks for opportunuties to embroider their
spirit on everything and to become immortal by founding new cities which reflect this spirit. Cities can’t be
conceived without reference to the civilizations they were shaped by. As an assertive civilization, the Ottoman
State also formed cities peculiar to itself. However, it used some cities as exhibitions and attempted to embody
the whole power of civilization in these cities. In addition to the fact that Istanbul’s remembered for being one of
those leading exhibition cities, Sarajevo will be one of the first names to occur in mind if we think about what
other cities served as exhibition centers. Sarajevo was considered to be important not only because of the
strategical location it possessed due to its socio-political importance, but also it was enlivened as fastidiously as
possible so that it would display the concept of civilization to the world. As stated by Tanpınar in one of his
comments on OrhanGazi “I see some elements of the poetry of Yunus in Orhan Gazi whenever I tend to turn my
face to him.”, when we take a stroll in the streets of Sarejova, it is obvious that it makes us feel the existence of a
deep rooted civilization. With their central location, some cities in the world determine the destiny of the
neighbouring cities. The same goes for Sarejova too. Of course, we can’t confine this affluence of civilization to
Sarejova only, it is possible to witness this civilization claim and spirit all around Bosnia. The importance of
Bosnia regarding this overlaps with the role it has played throughout the historical process.
The Balkan geography met with Turkish culture and civilization before the conquest of a large part of
Anatolia, even before the conquest of Istanbul. The fact that some of the important cultural centres of Ottoman
were located on this geography demonstrates the role of this geography on the range of civilization under
discussion. In the aftermath of the Balkan war, the loss of a greater part of this geography caused trauma in the
majority of the Ottoman intelligentsia because of the considerable effect of Balkan geography on the Ottoman. It
is possible even to state that within the first half of the 20th century, the first event that brought about
discrepancy and disintegration among the Ottoman intelligentsia is Balkan war and the loss of this geography
immediately afterwards; the second event is War of Independence. The great impact of the loss of this geography
on the Ottoman press also reveals the significance of this geography on Turkish intelligentsia and the Ottoman
community. During the period of Turkish Republic also, Balkan geography, especially in the field of poetry, has
always sustained its position secretively as a main medium. However, the works of poets who had ties with this
geography in respect of their origins embodied the elements of this geography. The writing which was penned
after the disintegration of Jugoslavia is pretty insignificant in comparison to the writing which was penned
following the Balkan war. It would be right to claim that this was because of the weakened love bonds of
Turkish intelligentsia with Balkan geography. However, there were some poets who felt this geography

vivaciously and employed this geography in their poetry. We will analyze the poetry which got shaped around
the Bosnian war, especially within the framework of war- literature relationship. Before starting to analyze
poetry, it would be better to look at the link between war and literature or the link between literature and war.

I-The literature of war- the war of literature
Theoratical writing penned on the link between war and literature is too little. Texts that were written
during the war and that made analysis of the pieces compiled in that period constitute a considerable amount of
all the pieces of that period. However, these texts centred on the essense of practice rather than theory. In most of
the studies on the link in question, rather than the possibility of this link or how and to what extent it would be,
some deductions have been made concerning this tie considering the works of art produced until then.
As mentioned above, because war is one of the fundamental realities of humanity, it is naturally a
subject of literature. It is hereby seen that both oral and written literature have emerged around wars both in
Western and Turkish literature. From this point of view, the link between literature and war paved the way for
the emergence of literature in the form of epic. During the epoch of epic, wars are the main sources of literature.
This matter has something to do with the greatness of the role wars have in the lives of humanity. Furthermore,
the fact that this period consisted of “people most of which gained their principal values by fighting” (Belge,
1980) ended up with the spread/depiction of war; as a result, this heroism was declared to public by means of
literature. In such texts, literature functioned as ‘mediator’. Since these texts aimed at conveying the message,
phraseology remained in the background. As human beings survived via wars, the emergence of literature around
wars was corollary. While exploring the the effect of war on literature Jean Larnac utters that only there was ‘the
literature of witchcraft and religion’ during the formation phases of civilizations and the birth of ‘heroic tale’
succeded this. (Larnac, 1963) ‘Heroic tale’ is based on depicting war via the language of literature.
It is difficult for war to become a source of literature and for the emergence of a high quality war
literature due to the ‘value’ given to war by human beings. That is, people haven’t acted impartially in wars and
events mostly turned out to be life or death issue. This ended up with emotional positioning. This emotional
positioning gave prominence to material but kept aesthetic phraseology in the background. Expressing in a style
that it would address our emotions was thought to be enough. That all the works of art, particulary poetry, that
appeared as ‘war literature’ in world literature resembled each other to a large scale in term of both phraseology
and technical features has something to do with the ‘pragmatist’ approach of people to the subject. However, the
fact that wars began to be regarded not only as wars by XX. century and mental transformation humanity
underwent gave birth to different attitudes towards war especally in the field of intellectuality. This manner
brought along a new ‘war literature’.
Turkish literature has a rich bibliography in terms of the number of works created around
war.§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§ That the early products of Turkish literature were oral provided a basis for war to be a
subject matter of oral products and specifically of epic literature. It is known that Turkic khans took bards to
whereever they went, those bards accompanied khans during wars and they told wars orally. While scrutinizing
the origins and sources of Turkic literature, Fuad Köprülü mentions the epics that became the elements of oral
culture this way as one of the highlighted sources.
Even after the adoption Islam, war continued to be a source of literature among Turks. Pieces written in
the form of epic or handed down the next generations verbally took their places in the world of literature as
‘gazaname, gazavatname’. Additionally, literature originating from war arose and in it there were some works
like ‘Battalname, Saltukname’ that came out around the names of some heroes like Battal Gazi, Sarı Saltuk.
Until the end of the first half of 19. century which can be accepted as the formation years of Modern Turkish
poetry, war was dominant in epic, rather than its being an inspiration for independent poetry or prose works.
This ended up with the reflection of war on literature only with some particular aspects, not with different sides.
In this approach which brought about the rise of monotonous war literature, all the concepts including heroes,
elevated points and conversations resemble one another to a large scale. The situation Turkish literature in is the
same for Western literature too because ‘until the 19. century it was impossible to see the traces of sparkling
products that can be categorized as war literature’. (Belge, 1980) In the writing or epics penned until that era,
war had been much like a background setting; rather than the war itself, ‘heroes’ had been discussed. ‘This is
related to the quality of war carried out’ (Belge, 1980) during the era mentioned above.
In the light of the evaluations made, pointing out that it is possible to talk of not only one war literature
but more than one. We can divide the title of ‘Literature Emerged Around War’ into 3 subgroups:
(k) Literature emerged during war
(l) Literature which was penned in the aftermath of war and the plot of which was war
(m) Literature regarding war as a landmark and scrutinizing it

�2nd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, June 8-9, 2010 Sarajevo
When we look at the subject considering the classification, we witness that the Bosnian war was
transferred to Turkish poetry as lament. This ‘lamentation’ occurs mostly in the course of war. Thus, it is
possible to say that the Bosnian war is an example of literature created in the midst of war, which is mentioned
as the first item of the classification shown above.

II- ‘Humanity’ fought in the Bosnian war
The traces of Rumelia in Turkish poetry before the Bosnian war is visible but there is not much
emphasis on Bosnia. The war gives Turkish intelligentsia the chance to recall this civilization. Before proceeding
to explore poems, it would be better to make it clear that in most of the texts, Bosnia is depicted as a
conventional setting rather than its being a habitat to people. This must stem from the fact that those writing
about Bosnia consist of people who have love bonds with Bosnia and see it from a distant perspective but have
never seen this geography yet. We had better start examples with the poem of Erdem Bayazıt named ‘Writing to
Bosnia’, which has a distinctive place among all the poetry written about Bosnia in terms of both its content and
style.
We are so impotent Bosnia! You stand upright.
We all humanity
The parasites of musty civilizations
Are merely the convicts before you.
Hey Bosnia!
Your sons
Onto the granite walls of our hearts
What do they engrave?
Hey Bosnia!
The fate you befall on us
Is a dead end?
Or a preface to resurrection?
I’m a Bosnian mother:
Inscribing these words
In tar in pitch dark
To the jawbones of dogs
To the incisors of Mıstırovın
To the grinders of Papazgali
To the Sacrament of Reconciliation
I consign them.
I’m a Bosnian child: -Muslims!
I consign my song to you.
Also my hands cut from wrists
Released into the water
Of the river flowing towards vast seas. (Bayazıt, 2003, 39)
Erdem Bayazıt wrote this poem in 1994. Poem has been a text which is willing to witness the war.
These are the lines of a poet who doesn’t keep silent and rebels against it. Bayazıt begins his poem claiming that
all humanity including himself did nothing at all against the violence. The succeeding lines develop as sincere
admission, remorse and self-questioning stemming from this incapability. The poetwho sees the people that did
not do anything against things happened in Bosnia as ‘the parasites of musty civilizations’, puts the blame on
Western civilization which is followed like prisoners by all humanity which he calls ‘musty civilization’. As can
be seen in his other poems, the poet accuses the current Western civilization of acting inhumanely. He describes
the people like himself wallowing in Western civilization despite not belonging to that civilizaiton as the parasite
impotents of this civilization. Bayazıt perceives Bosnia as a place which is destined to lonelines by musty
civilization and thus remains out of this civilization.

In the second part of his poem,
Hey Bosnia!
Your sons

405

�2nd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, June 8-9, 2010 Sarajevo
Onto the granite walls of our hearts
What do they engrave?
With these lines, he likens the heart of humankind to ‘granite wall’. Bosnia is struggling to inscribe to humanity
who has lost their humane side but this inscription is challenging because hearts have transformed into granites.
The poet goes on;
Hey Bosnia!
The fate you befall on us
Is a dead end?
Or a preface to resurrection?
He calls out to Bosnia again and expresses that humanity is convicted of this insensitivity. What is remarkable
here is the questioning of the writer as to whether this is death or resurrection.Although Bayazıt thinks that this
is the death of humanity because of their passive attitude , he is questioning whether this is an eternal death or a
means of resurrection. The poet implies that ongoing terror will help people behave themselves; therefore, he
impilicates the hope that humanity can get rid rid of taciturnity.
Later on, Bayazıt makes a Bosnian mother speak first and then a Bosnian kid. That already there is
emphasis on the accounting of war with the eye of child in other poems written about Bosnia as well is
significant. This may be attributed to the belief that child tragedy’s the greatest tragedy of humanity. Bosnian
mother:
I’m a Bosnian mother:
Inscribing these words
In tar in pitch dark
To the jawbones of dogs
To the incisors of Mıstırovın
To the grinders of Papazgali
To the Sacrament of Reconciliation
I consign them.
utters her last words on the one hand via these lines; on the other hand she delineates the people who are in the
position of hearing her screams. The poet’s stressing on ‘inscribing these words in tar in pitch dark” is very
significant. The lines full of images aim at visualizing the harshness of the tragedy crystal clearly. The use of the
expression ‘pitch dark’ referring to night which is already dark and the lines ‘inscribing these words in ‘tar’ in
‘pitch dark’ demonstrate the desperate situation and the excessiveness of the tragedy. Her addressee increase the
tragedy of the mother. The mother consigns her words ‘to the jawbones of dogs’. This is the portrait of a person
who is made depend on someone by whom he will be savaged and thus who surrenders. Reminding us that the
Secretary General of The United Nations of that period was a priest, The poet criticizes him for being indifferent
to the tragedy and he sees him as part of that ‘pitch dark’. Towards the final lines of this part of the poem, the
mother addresses the conscience of the Christian world. The mother, who entrusts her screams to the Sacrament
od Reconciliation by which they confess their sins and regain the grace of God, wants the Christian world to face
this tragedy deemed proper to her as well while trying to remove their prior sins.
In the last part of the poem, children, the greatest victims of the tragedy in Bosnia, speak:
I’m a Bosnian child: -Muslims!
I consign my song to you.
Also my hands cut from wrists
Released into the water
Of the river flowing towards vast seas.
While the mother addresses the conscience of the Christian world, the child addresses Muslims. The
child consigns his ‘song’ to Muslims, through the lines of which we realize that his wrists are cut and the blood
of his wrists mix with the flowing rivers. The ‘song’ of the child involves hope for future. Child represents hope.
However, war fades this hope at a very young age. Just like the last will of someone who dies at a very young
age, he desires Muslims to live a long life that he couldn’t. Looking at the poem from a broader perspective, on

406

�2nd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, June 8-9, 2010 Sarajevo
the one hand, we can see that Bayazıt on behalf of humanity is remorseful due to the tragedy; on the other hand,
we may say state that this disaster might be the harbinger of a new formation.
Other poems written about Bosnia by and large have followed the framework led by Bayazıt. Though
some of these poets haven’t been able to leave enduring mark in literature, they may be regarded important for
the testimony they have given against this tragedy via their writings.
In his poem named ‘Resurrection Pain’, Ahmet Emin Atasoy discusses the attack made in a bazaar on
Sunday during the Bosnian war in a chapter entitled ‘Massacre’:
There is grand Bazaar in Bosnia
Here we see the greatest poverty
The greatness of danger, fear and uncertainty
On the freezing naked counters
There sits a silhouette terrifying people
The silhouette of sniper monsters
…
Know that it will be the monument of shame
The grave dug in the middle of Sarajevo! (Atasoy, 2001, p.488)
By using the expression ‘the greatest poverty’, the poet wants to mean that being deprived of the
humanity is the greatest poverty. As a matter of fact, death caused by the bombs dropped there will remain as the
monument of shame.
One of the other writers who wrote poetry on the Bosnian war and whose writings involve poetic value
is Hüseyin Yurttaş. His poem entitled ‘Lament for Sarajevo’ is pretty significant in terms of diction, meaning
and sincerity:
I could hear your name but never cared about the passing years
Everything passed on the mournful fringe of an ash colored dome
Screaming drops shouldn’t have reminded the past, your tears any more
You, Sarajevo, were a city a long way from here
I’m suffering brownout in Turkey
As a poet grinding his voice (Atasoy, 2001, p.452)
Initially, the poet expresses his sorrow for being have to look at Bosnia from distance. This feeling,
which we can call the sorrow of being apart from Bosnia, is also the reason for the remorse that will be brought
up throughout the succeding lines. The poet laments for being apart/being parted from Bosnia though he should
be close. Rendering himself as ‘a poet grinding his voice’ is the evidence of his rebellious spirit againt what
Bosnia experiences. In succeding lines, the poet discusses the casualties of Bosnia in a chronological order and
then from the loss during the Ottoman State he passes to today’s war:
…
In the morning you woke up with your hands messed in blood
Hey Sarajevo! the lost and foster land
Where is the public? Where is the public?
Death screams in the sky, entire body infected withepileptic sarcomas
They have merciless hands pulling trigger
They have savage eyes looking furiously
They have brutal feet crushing
Even the dead, even the dead, even the dead
Too young
Dying too young Sarajevo.

‘In the morning you woke up with your hands messed in blood’. This line suggests that Sarajevo,
which is depicted as ‘the lost and foster land’, is contaminated with blood wantonly. The emphasis on ‘in the
mornning’ remind us of the fact that Sarajevo was much like an innocent child who shouldn’t have involved in
the battle conducted there. The contamination of everywhere with blood is the loss of this city. The loss of the

407

�2nd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, June 8-9, 2010 Sarajevo
city is the loss of public. As a matter of fact, by asking Sarajevo ‘where is the public?’, the poet correlates the
absence of public with blood. By the use of ‘they’, he discusses the brutality of those who shed blood in Bosnia.
They are so cruel that they crush even the dead people. Repeating this three times, he attempts to manifest the
greatness of the tragedy experienced there. Those who shed blood in Bosnia are so savage that they can’t stand
even the dead people. These two lines ‘Too young/ Dying too young Sarajevo’ contribute diversity to the poem
in terms of lexical depth and poetic diction. The poet compares Sarajevo to a child and by saying ‘dying too
young Sarajevo’, he means that Bosnia experiences death which it does not deserve. The correlation between the
city and child is related to the emphasis laid on innocence and cleanliness discussed at the beginning of the
poem. The killing of the city despite all its cleanliness and innocence is the same as infanticide.
In the final part of his poem, the poet expresses his remorse and sorrow for being incapable
against the tragedy in Sarajevo:
Sarajevo
Not my hands, even this poem can’t reach you
Forgive me
Like a desperate scream in darkness
I let go my verse.
The poet asks for forgiveness from Sarajevo since even the poem can’t reach the city let alone run for
help. This is the apology for only being able to scream desperately in darkness.
Throughout the poem entitled ‘the Lament of Bosnian Children’ which belongs to the same poet, the
innocence of children and also the brutal treatment of mankind against this innocence are discussed. In the
course of the poem, the children, who are innocent in their own worlds, call people to account for the life they
have been forced into:
…
These kids in fear
Leaving the gates of the century
Will ask that striking question
Will the fingers point at you
Will their stare Pierce your hearts
‘hey people! Where have you been?
‘Where have you been?’ (Yurttaş, 1996, p.130-131)
The poet points out that mankind will definitely account for their indifference against all this atrocity,
and children who are left to their own fates will stand upright and call humanity to account by asking ‘where
have you been?’. What is striking in this interrogation is that their look ‘will pierce their hearts’. The stress
brings to the fore that humanity won’t be able to get rid of the guilt of conscience due to this affront.
Mücahit Koca witnesses this tragedy by including some poems into his book named The Book of
Bosnia and he questions the indifference of humanity just as the same way other poets do. The portrayal of
Bosnia in war drawn by the poet within the framework of realistic sense is significant:
All the streets seem on fire
Houses are like grave.
No more any solid mosque
The domes worn through
The minarets collapsed
Houses, roses are all on fire
Trees are like fire ascending sky
Grass fly sparks
Sarajevo is the skeleton town
Death patrols everywhere. (Koca, 1999, p.26-27)

408

�2nd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, June 8-9, 2010 Sarajevo
The above picture of Bosnia in war involves two significant points. The city is delineated as an entire
fireground. The fire is so intense that even trees have turned into fire ascending sky. At this point, the poet
focuses on two important points regarding the city: skeleton. All this fire has transformed the city into a skeleton.
At the end of the poem, saying;
‘What happened in Andalusia came about in Bosnia’
the poet looks at the tragedy in Bosnia as the continuation of ongoing devastation fulfilled by Western
civilization against Eastern civilization throughout the history.
After drawing our attention to the tragedy in Bosnia, Hilmi Haşal calls out humanity to question
themselves. The repitition of the following lines;
Murderers
Ask yourselves! (Atasoy, 2001, p. 478)
is an attempt to remind humankind about their humanity. The poet calls out devastators to recall their being
humans.
Your pitch dark conscience purify?
In the whirl of inhumanity
From your bloody hands
‘Picth dark’ is a remarkable phrase. The poet sees devastators as people of ‘pitch dark conscience’ and by using
an expression that is a reminiscent of the idiom ‘being brutal’ in Turkish, he reminds people about the deprivation of
the sense of being humane. The use of ‘the whirl of inhumanity’ in the succeeding line enriches the meaning. The poet
compares the killers to prisoners in the whirl of deprivation of humanity. In deed, they need to be pitied. They are
deprived of humanity and they get stuck in the whirl of inhumanity. The use of the idiom ‘bloody hands’ supports the
conviction of the killers and the state of their being stuck in the whirl of inhumanity. This idiom which also means the
revolving of the killer around his victim gives the message that the criminals in Bosnia won’t be able to get rid of the
massacre they carried out and they will be haunted by the blood they shed.
Hilmi Haşal expostulates with inconsiderateness of people to the tragedy in Bosnia in his poem entitled ‘Lament
for Bosnia’:
The sunlight of Summer favouring death?
Where is the kindness of civilization?
Sold off the gongs of stoke market
With the intrigues of batten. (Atasoy, 2001, p.503)
The poet thinks that ‘civilization’ is just a discourse, they just think of their interests. Civilization is
associated with ‘sold of the gongs of stoke market’ and he claims that beacuse the interest in the tragedy of Bosnia is
not money spinner, the interest in it is too low.
Nihat Kayabaşı also makes a Bosnian child speak out in his poem. In his short poem which consists of three
parts,
Mummy!Where did the soldiers
kidnap my dad?
Why was my sister locked in the room?
Why were all her clothes torn into pieces?
...
I’m so scared mummy
Take me somewhere
The soldiers don’t know (Atasoy, 2001, p.507)
in a childlike manner, he is questioning the reason behind his father’s being kidnapped, his mother and sister’s
being hurt severely by the soldiers of intruders. By manifesting the innocence of the child, the poet highlights the
scale of violence. The child expresses the brutality via somehow childish questions. In the last part, although his
desire to go ‘somewhere the soliders don’t know’ sounds like a childish question, actually it shows to what
extent a child could be affected by such a tragedy, how deep he could feel it and that he is willing to get rid of
the intruders whom he thinks to be the source of everything.

III- The beauties of Bosnia
Arif Bozacı’s poem entitled ‘Sarajevo’ is a good example to show a different approach to Bosnia rather
than the framework of war. As highlighted above, since the interest of Turkish poets in Bosnia increased
especially after the war in the early 1900s, they dealt with the Bosnia under occupation rather that the Bosnia
which is of great importance in terms of its natural and historical diversity. As a consequence, a gloomy and
rebellious tone is dominant in poems. In this poem, a recollection of the daily life of the city is depicted:
From the minarets
Come sounds of prayer calls
A flower blossoms
In the pot
In the window
Of a house
In Grand Bazaar
Find their tongues
Piegeons
In the first Summer
In Sarajevo. (Atasoy, 2001, p.442)
In the first stanza, while regarding the sounds of prayer calls as the natural elements of this geography,
on the other hand, the poet presents the image of a happy and peaceful city by referring to a blossoming flower
in the window of a house. In the second stanza, pigeons cooing in Grand Bazaar are discussed as one of the
symbols of Sarajevo. Stating that pigeons find their tongues in Grand Bazaar, the poet completes the portayal of
a peaceful town which he started with prayer calls and flower in the first stanza.

Conclusion
In addition to its being among the first places conquered by Ottoman State, the Balkan geography is of
great importance in terms of political and social events happened following the loss of this land as well. The
conquest policy of the Ottoman civilization and the loss of this geography which got shaped within the
framework of the concept of civilization had great effects on literature; during the period of Republic, this land
was employed especially in the works of those who were born in this land and thus had organic ties with it. Even
though the battles taking place in the early 1990s just after the demise of the communist bloc drew the attention
of Turkish intelligentsia to this land, that interest was too low in comparison to the former one. Love bond
between the two lands dwindled away by the passing years. However, there were still some poets and writers
who wrote their feelings regarding this geography in the warmth of the loss felt on the first day. The most tragic
of all the wars after the demise of the communist bloc was undoubtfully the one carried out in Bosnia
Herzegovina. There were reflections of the tragedy of the Bosnian war on Turkish poetry to a particular extent.
The reflections of the Bosnian war on Turkish poetry were penned, mostly in the course of war, as
rebellion or sometimes as a lament against what was happening.
The approaches of writers towards Bosnia with respect to war are almost the same. These can be
summarized as follows:
9. First of all, the guilty conscience felt because of just watching the tragedy in Bosnia and apology to
Bosnia become prominent. Being uneasy due to being able to do nothing against the war, poets express
their shame of being obliged to apology only.
10. Passive attitude of humanity, especially Europe, against the tragedy is questioned and the death of
humanity is stated.
11. Poets give importance to making specifically children and mothers speak in their poetry. It is possible to
attribute this to the fact that war has the greatest impact on these groups. Additionally, the contradiction
between the innocence of a child with the evilness of war must be influential on this.
12. Looking at these poems from poetic style, sometimes emotional content may surpass poetic aesthetic.
However, it is seen that poetic level and intensive imagery are more dominant in the poetry of some
poets like Erdem Bayazıt who has an enduring place in literature.
13. With respect to war-literature relationship, the effects of the Bosnian war on Turkish literature can be
looked at mostly within the framework of the literature produced during the war. Considering the
poems evaluated in this study, it is clear that most of them were written during the war.

410

�2nd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, June 8-9, 2010 Sarajevo
14. In the aftermath of the war, it is seen that Bosnia was taken off the agenda of Turkish poetry, the
tragedy experienced after the war wasn’t embodied as much as before.

Abstract : Aquaculture is the fastest growing sector in all of the world in recent years. It is
necessary to support the development of sustainable aquaculture in the world. For this purpose
The Commission of the European Communities prepared a communication on the strategy for
the sustainable development of european aquaculture. Salmon, trout, sea bass and sea bream
farming have been developed in european countires. Differents farming methodes and technics
are used in aquaculture. But especially marine fish farming has been criticised for its
environmental and ecological impacts. The extensive and semi intensive farming methods
have less environmental impacts than intensive aquaculture. In this paper we try to review
differents fish culture methods and their impacts on the aquatic environment. It is also
discussed the necessary measures to be taken to minimize the effects of fish farms on the
environments
Key words: Sustainable aquaculture, environmental impacts, aquaculture methods,

Introduction
Fish is an important dietary source of animal protein. Humans consume most of the world’s fish
production, and by 2030 the average person is expected to eat as much as 20 kilograms of fish each year.
Aquaculture may be a recent addition to our vocabulary, but the farming of fish and the cultivation of
shellfish dates back millennia, from old Chinese civilisations to the Roman Empire. What is new is the level of
production now demanded by a growing world population and the challenge this presents to farmers who want to
conduct their activity in a sustainable way.
Modern aquaculture represents a major innovation in the production of fish and aquatic food and has
been the fastest growing food production sector with an average worldwide growth rate of 6-8% a year. With a
global production of nearly 52 million tonnes in 2006, world aquaculture has increased. Aquaculture is an
important economic activity in certain coastal and continental areas
Elvevoll (2010) asks how much seafood should we eat, in themselves, omega-3 fatty acids are not
enough, we need to eat fish. Seafood is rich in antioxidants, fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins, easily
digestible proteins with special amino acid composition, minerals, trace elements and fat of the healthy,
polyunsaturated type. He has carried out a clinical study that shows the uptake of omega-3 is three to four times
greater from salmon fillet than from fish oil.
Different values exist in the scientific literature for what is the ideal daily or weekly intake of EPA and
DHA for human health. Government advice varies considerably between countries. However, as a general rule, a
healthy diet is generally assumed to include 1-2 fish per week, especially fatty fish.

Environmental Interactions
Most of the information given below about environmental interactions is taken from Consensus portal
available at Euraquaculture organisation. The CONSENSUS initiative was funded by the European Union as part
of its key action "Food Quality and Safety". 21 European Organisations are Consensus partners. With its
stakeholder representation of consumers, aquaculture producers, environmental and other nongovernmental
organisations, Consensus is building sustainable aquaculture protocols based on low environmental impact, high
competitiveness and ethical responsibility with regard to biodiversity and animal welfare.
The development of aquaculture has raised some associated environmental concerns. Like any farming
operation on land, fish farm cages produce waste materials. These fall into three categories - uneaten feed, fish
faeces and dead fish. Most of the environmental impacts of coastal aquaculture can be managed and minimised

678

�through understanding of the processes involved, responsible management and the effective siting of farms
(FAO 1966).
•

Uneaten Feed
o

o

•

If uneaten feed reach the bottom of a cage, processes that break it down can reduce the amount of
oxygen in the sediment. In severe cases, oxygen levels in the water above may also decrease,
creating "anoxic" conditions in which only a few animal species can survive. Should the feed
contain antibiotics used to treat the farmed fish above, bacteria in the sediment and the natural
breakdown of waste material might be affected.
In practice, fish farmers do everything they can to prevent such a situation, since the cost of fish
feed amounts up to 40 percent of the total production cost. Feed reaching the sediment is lost, and
it is in the farmer's interest to minimise such waste. On well-managed farms, feeding is carefully
regulated to ensure that the maximum amount of food is taken up directly by the fish and farmers
aim to ensure that less than 5 percent of the feed is wasted. To improve uptake by fish, feed pellets
are manufactured to either float or to sink slowly through the water.

Fish Faeces

Unlike land animals, fish do not generally produce compact solid faecal material and more often excrete
a loose cloud of faecal material that is easily dispersed by water currents. In still conditions, however, faecal
material can build up beneath fish cages. It is, however, not in the farmer's interest to let this happen, since the
buildup of faecal material can lead to anoxic conditions which affect the fish above. Fish farmers wanting to
ensure the health of their fish will frequently check the bottom below their fish cages to ensure that faecal
material is not building up. In addition, in many EU Member States, the government employs diving teams to
carry out inspections. If faecal build-up is observed, farmers will be advised to move their cages, allowing the
bottom to recuperate for a short period, however full recovery typically takes between three to ten years. In
recent years, improved feed formulations have also been introduced that fish digest more efficiently, producing
less waste. Fish farmers generally avoid overly sheltered and stagnant sites, preferring areas that contain a
healthy flow of water through the cages. Such flows disperse fish faeces so it can enter the natural food chain.
Dead Fish
Dead fish are a loss to the farmer and a potential health hazard to the stock as well as a source of
pollution. Fish farmers will, at all times, endeavour to minimise the number of dead fish on their farms and to
remove such mortalities where they occur. Fish farms are required to report significant fish deaths when they
occur and are inspected by state agencies at least twice a year.
Pond Fish Farming
Fish pond systems represent the oldest fish farming activity in Europe, at least dating back to medieval
times. Ponds were built in areas where water supply was available and the soil was not suitable for agriculture.
The wetlands of Central and Eastern Europe are good examples of this. The total European production from
pond farming is approximately 475,000 tonnes. About half of this production is cyprinid fish, such as common
carp, silver carp and bighead carp. The main producer countries are the Russian Federation, Poland, Czech
Republic, Germany, Ukraine and Hungary.
In order to reach higher yields, farmers today introduce nutrients into the pond such as organic manure.
This is accompanied by stocking of fingerlings and by water being flushed through the pond. Fish pond
production, however, remains ‘extensive' or ‘semi-intensive' (with supplementary feeding) in most countries,
where semi-static freshwater systems play an important role in aquaculture. Chemicals and therapeutics are not
usually used in such ponds. Hence the main environmental issue is the use of organic fertilisers, which may
cause eutrophication in the surrounding natural waters. The use of organic fertilisers is regulated at national
levels.
Extensive fish ponds are usually surrounded by reed belts and natural vegetation, thus providing
important habitats for flora and fauna. They play a growing role in rural tourism. Many pond fish farms have
been turned into multifunctional fish farms, where various other services are provided for recreation,
maintenance of biodiversity and improvement of water management. In areas where water is scarce, some farm
systems recirculate, treat and re-use their water.

�Such systems are generally self-contained and therefore pose little threat to the environment. Solid
waste material produced in such systems is rich in organic compounds and often used as a fertilizer elsewhere.
Alternatively, new hydroponic systems have been developed to grow vegetables and other food crops in the
nutrient-enriched water. There is much interest in these systems, but their economic viability remains
challenging.
Recirculation Aquaculture Systems
Recirculation Aquaculture Systems (RAS) are land-based systems in which water is re-used after
mechanical and biological treatment so as to reduce the needs for water and energy and the emission of nutrients
to the environment. These systems present several advantages such as: water and energy saving, a rigorous
control of water quality, low environmental impacts, high biosecurity levels and an easier control of waste
production as compared to other production systems.
The main disadvantages are high capital costs, high operational costs, requirements for very careful
management, high land prices and difficulties in treating disease. RAS is still a small fraction of Europe's
aquaculture production and has its main relevance in some European countries. The main species produced in
RAS are catfish and eel but other species are already being produced using this type of technology such as turbot,
sea bass, pikeperch, tilapia and sole.
The Case Of Escaped Fish
It is inevitable that fish farmed in net pens in either fresh or salt water will sometimes escape into the
wild. In some cases, there will be a small but steady release of fish. Sometimes, large numbers will escape due to
severe damage to the net pen by way of storms, predator attacks or vandalism. Therefore, a limited escape of
farmed fish would be unlikely to have a serious effect on wild fish populations. Only if very large numbers of
fish escape into a small area, would interbreeding occur and the fitness of the local population potentially be
reduced.
In its Aquaculture Europe 2005 conference, the European Aquaculture Society invited the North
Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organisation (NASCO) to hold a special workshop on the interactions between
wild and farmed salmon. The summary report of this event "Wild and Farmed Salmon - Working Together"
drew the following main conclusions: Through the use of single bay management, single generation sites and
synchronised fallowing, real progress is being made in relation to minimising impacts of diseases and parasites,
which are key issues for wild fish interests.
The development of third-party audited containment management systems may represent a significant
step forward. The liaison group should look more at the possibilities of rearing all-female triploid salmon, which
could eliminate genetic interaction with the wild stocks, but which need to be balanced by the production cost of
these fish, as well as consumer resistance to what could be seen as genetic manipulation.

Sustainable Feed Resources
Fish farming is very efficient in terms of the conversion of protein, which means an important
ecological advantage in light of the sustainability of fish feed resources.
One of the most-frequently cited issues with the sustainable development of aquaculture is the capture
of other fish as raw material to be used as fish feed in the form of fish meal and fish oil. It is seen as an issue
because a food production sector is in part relying on a capture fishery for the supply of raw materials for the
production of aquaculture feed.
Typically, these other fish species are small, oil-rich, bony pelagic fish that are not normally used for
direct human consumption. Two decades ago, the majority of fish meal and oil was used to make feeds for land
animal production. At present, over 50 percent of fishmeal and over 80 percent of fish oil is used for aquaculture.
If aquaculture is to fill the gap in demand for seafood, this raises important sustainability issues as to the
availability of sufficient feed supply. This is particularly relevant given the fact that fishmeal and fish oil
production has been, and is likely to remain, relatively constant at around 6 million and 0.9 million tonnes per
year, respectively.
However, as the demand for fishmeal and fish oil in aquaculture has increased, so the price has risen.
This has driven both terrestrial agriculture and aquaculture to seek nutritional alternatives to fishmeal and fish oil.
This is an on-going process and estimates made by the International Fishmeal &amp; Fish oil Organisation
show that the growth of aquaculture and the substitution of fishmeal and fish oil can continue together.

680

�Replacement of Marine Protein Sources by Terrestrial Plant Protein
For various reasons, fish meal and fish oil are gradually being replaced by plant proteins in feed that is
used in fish farms. Plant proteins can be less costly and they are free of potential contaminants like dioxin, PCB
or mercury.
However, fishmeal is an important ingredient in fish feed and can only to a limited extent be replaced
by vegetable proteins without reducing feed efficiency and growth. After all, carnivorous or ‘piscivorous' fish
naturally feed on other fish. The fatty acid composition in the flesh from farmed fish will also reflect the feed
composition and inclusion of vegetable oil will reduce the level of omega-3 fatty acids.
Although the introduction of plant protein into the feed can be seen as a way of reducing the sector's
dependence on fish meal and fish oil, some have questioned the trend because:
• carnivorous fish do not naturally feed on plants;
• plant proteins may have anti-nutritional effects on fish;
• there is a maximum level of replacement, after which the texture and eating quality of the fish is
compromised;
• some plant proteins could be derived from GMOs .

Constraints of Aquaculture in Turkey
Especially marine aquaculture systems are criticised for their environmental and ecological impacts.
The extensive and semi intensive farming methods have less environmental impacts than intensive aquaculture.
It is necessary to support the development of sustainable aquaculture.
For this reason European Commission designed in 2002 a strategy document for the sustainable
development of aquaculture in Europe (CCE 2002). As a candidate country to the European Community, Turkey
takes all the measures to respect and to adopt the rules designed by the European Commission. Fisheries and
Aquaculture file is one of the 31 files to be discussed with European Commission. The importance of
aquaculture has been recognized by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (MARA) and by the private
sector in collaboration with the Universities. The development of aquaculture is very important in Turkey
because it provides jobs.
The General Directorate for Agriculture Production and Development of MARA is the responsible
authority for development and management of aquaculture. The aquaculture sector in Turkey is facing some
constraints (Canyurt 2005) such as:
• The complexity of licensing procedures,
• Site selection problems,
• The complexity of project preparation and application,
• Problems with some other sectors, such as tourism, protected areas and navigations,
• High prices of inputs and difficulties in supplying,
• Disease risk with imported eggs and fry,
• Marketing and quality control problems,
• Non organization of the sector,
can be cited as major constraints of aquaculture in Turkey to be solved.

Conclusions and Recommendations
Turkey has rich inland water sources, about 200 natural lakes, about 750 artificial lakes or ponds, about
193 reservoirs, 33 rivers and streams of 177.714 km length and 8.333 km of coastal strips. Some lagoons
covering of 70.000 hectares in Aegean and Mediterranean coastal strips are very suitable for aquaculture.
Aquaculture development, especially trout farming in inland waters and sea bass and sea bream in
marine waters in Turkey is growing rapidly (Canyurt 1996 &amp;1997, Canyurt&amp;Akhan 2009). Turkey has the third
fastest growing aquaculture sector in the world (Deniz 2007, MARA 2006, TSI 2007). Marine and inland water
resources provide an important source of protein for human nutrition. In addition to this appreciation,
aquaculture has some advantages over capture fisheries in term of marketing the products. One of these
advantages is that aquaculture creates jobs. More than 25 000 persons are working in the sector of aquaculture in
Turkey (Deniz 2007). Some ecological and socio-economical interactions should be discussed for a sustainable

aquaculture.
