    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Causal Relationship between Trading Volume and Security Returns: A Case of the South Eastern European Region]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The paper discusses the dynamic relationship between trading volume and security returns across the selected stock markets from the South Eastern European (SEE) region. The research on the issue of return-volume relationship stresses out a common belief that there is a positive relationship between returns and trading volume in the stock markets. Therefore, this paper seeks to ascertain the impact of information about trading volume on security returns in the SEE region. As a representative of this region, we use securities included in the South-Eastern Europe Traded Index (SETX) which is a tradable benchmark for the SEE region. To test whether trading volume precedes stock returns, or vice versa, we will use vector autoregressive model (VAR) and Granger causality test. By examining and analyzing this relationship we expect to shed some light on important issues such as market structure and information arrival, market efficiency, empirical distribution of asset prices and alternative types of asset behavior obtainable from the joint dynamics of price and trading volume.    Keywords: trading volume, security return, causality.  ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Measurement of Capital Adequacy for Operational Risk: A Case Study in a Bank Operating in Turkey]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[During the recent years, restrictions and obstacles of the finance sector are declining; on the other hand the volume of financial activity is increasing. Banking sector is also affected from this alternation; day by day sector’s risks are changing and growing. Banks in competition are increasing the variety of products and this variation results in that banks are subjected to the risks of different products and activities. The purpose of the risk management is not only preventing losses but also changing the risks and opportunities. Banks are developing different studies and applications about the control and management of the risk. Although risk measurement is known as a very old and important subject, with the growing importance after multi-dimensional operational losses occurred in recent years, the measurement of operational risks is still a new and developing field. The structure of the Operational Risk has a wide risk area which brings about serious losses in the bank. The Basel Committee who makes different arrangements and gives different advices about this area defines the Operational Risk as “the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events”. The methods of observing Operational Risk differs according to the risk sensibility. This difference affects the results of capital needs which are calculated by the banks. Banking sector must take precautions and be ready for the situation with risk that can occur at any moment.    This study deals with risks in banking sector, banking crises caused by operational risk, and the methods that can be used for measuring capital adequacy and operational risk management. In this context, risk measurement methods proposed by the Basel II committee are discussed. It has been attempted to measure the operational risk of a bank that operates in the Turkish banking sector with the methods of basic indicator approach, standard approach and alternative standard approach by using data of the bank and also, it has been analyzed differences in capital adequacy that calculates as a result of the different measurement approaches with tables.    Keywords: Risk Management, Operational Risk, Capital Adequacy, Basel II Committee, Basic Indicator Approach, Standard Approach, Alternative Standard Approach.  ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[E-Tutor: Creating, Deploying and Supporting e-Learning Environment]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Modern world relies heavily on technology to achieve necessary improvements in quality of life for all members of society. The rise of usage of technology can also be seen in all sectors of education systems and education processes. By utilizing the technology, education systems are able to accommodate growing number of participants of an education processes thereby expanding student capacity of a school or university. This expansion can be seen in form of electronic learning or e-learning where students are able to attend classes and obtain degrees over the internet. This form of distance learning allows education institutions to migrate from ordinary classroom teaching to computer-based environment where students’ and teachers’ geographical location is irrelevant, meaning students are able to attend classes from any part of the world over the Internet. This form of online environment supports typically supports learner-centralized and self-paced education.    Main component of any e-learning system is an online tutor, also known as e-tutor, an educator who will be able to create and manage e-learning environment while at the same time using that environment to teach classes and lectures to students who are attending them via the Internet. This e-tutoring system is created using only freeware components and services which are available over the Internet. Currently, researchers&#039; opinions on quality and advantages of this form of education are divided. Some believe technology-mediated learning environments will improve students’ attitude toward learning and their evaluation of learning experience, while others are warning that this form of education may lead to feeling of isolation and anxiety in student population. Objective of this study is to create simple and effective e-tutoring system to be used for online education and to examine the issue of its usage in context of high school education.  Knowledge Management framework was used as theoretical model to create e-learning space for high school students. The model was tested among students enrolled in Computer science classes. The participants were interviewed about their experiences. The results provided interesting insight into the potential and limitation of the e-tutoring system.    Keywords: online learning, e-tutor, knowledge management, interviews, paper.  ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Microfinance Tale: Bright and Dark Side of the Narrative]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In the years following the ‘Great Recession’ the microfinance institutions gained great attention and earned various attributes summed up as being a very “attractive” root of financing developing nations’ wide. According to the saying that arriving at an end forces as inevitably to think about the beginning, imposes also the rewind of the ‘Microfinance tale’. The story traces back to the deepest convictions of Muhammad Yunus, a Bangladeshi banker, that the right to get a loan should be classified as one of the basic human rights, and his contribution to the poverty reduction challenge through the establishment of Grameen bank (the bank for poor) in 1976. Today, when we all are witnesses that his idea was pretty sustainable and are tirelessly discussing about the greatest innovation of the last century, there is a necessity to draw a parallel in between the initial idea and its realization, and inspect to what extent are they consistent, and whether they match at all?     The microcredit as a modest but in comparison to bank loans relatively fast way of obtaining financial support in order to fill the “gaps in your budget” in short-terms, or to start your own small enterprise as a more permanent solution to ample unemployment, flourished in Bosnia and Herzegovina very fast. It seems that Bosnia and Herzegovina was a very fertile ground for implementation of the microfinance project, since it flourished relatively fast and MFIs in Bosnia and Herzegovina in relatively short period of time became quite financially sustainable. Relatively scarce is the list of fields that emphasize simultaneously economic and social performance intensively as the microfinance sector does (Tulchin, 2003); the social performance of a MFI is nothing else than the ‘truth in advertising’ (Hashemi, 2007). As things look nowadays, most of the MFIs ‘turned back’ from their original mission of providing financial support for small entrepreneurs, thus profit goals have overcame the social considerably. This article attempts to draw a parallel and define the reasons why the initial idea of fighting the poverty through providing microcredit brought dark reality of making the poor even poorer.  Keywords: MFIs/MCOs, microcredit, poverty-debt, developing, SMEs, Bosnia and Herzegovina  *This proceeding is part of an ongoing research supported by Fatih University, Istanbul, Turkey.  ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Effects of War Crime Processing before Domestic Courts on the Reconciliation Process in Bosnia and Herzegovina    Efekti procesuiranja ratnih zločina pred domaćim sudovima na procese pomirenja u Bosni i Hercegovini]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[During the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992-1995), severe war crimes were committed, including even genocide. The war crimes, committed during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), have been processed at several different levels (from international to local). The paper focuses on the processing of war crimes committed in BiH before domestic, Bosnian courts and the contribution of these processes to the reconciliation process in BiH. We made an empirical research and collected data on the attitude of victims and, for the first time, of perpetrators of war crimes about three research domains: purpose and expectations from war crime processing, subjects’ perception of the judicial system in BiH that processes war crimes, and perception of the past results of war crime processing in BiH.  The following conclusions were made: the subjects express their negative opinion about the proceedings; most subjects expect processing to reveal the truth and contribute to their prevention in the future; all the subjects have a negative opinion about judicial institutions that process war crimes in BiH; subjects believe that the punishments for the crimes do not achieve the purpose of punishing; processing contributed to easing victims’ suffering but also helped convicts reject their psychological burden.    Sažetak: Tokom rata u BiH (1992-1995), počinjeni su teški zločini, pa čak i genocid.  Njihovo procesuiranje odvija se na više različitih nivoa. U ovom se radu analizira procesuiranje ratnih zločina pred domaćim, bosanskohercegovačkim sudovima i doprinos ovih suđenja pomirenju u BiH.  Provedeno je empirijsko istraživanje i prikupljeni su podaci o stavovima žrtava i, po prvi put, osuđenika za ratne zločine o tri grupe pitanja: svrha i očekivanja od procesuiranja ratnih zločina, percepcija ispitanika o pravosudnom sistemu u Bosni i Hercegovini koji sudi za ratne zločine i percepcija dosadašnjih rezultata rada na procesuiranju ratnih zločina u Bosni i Hercegovini.  Zaključeno je sljedeće: ispitanici izražavaju svoje negativno mišljenje o procesuiranju; većina ispitanika očekuje da će procesuiranje otkriti istinu, i doprinijeti njihovoj prevenciji u budućnosti; svi ispitanici imaju negativno mišljenje o pravosudnim institucijama koje procesuiraju ratne zločine u BiH; ispitanici smatraju da se kaznama za zločine ne postiže svrha kažnjavanja; procesuiranje doprinosi ublažavanju patnji žrtava, ali, također, pomaže osuđenicima da se oslobode psihološkog tereta.]]></dcterms:abstract>
