    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Bilingualism in Kuwait – a linguistic landscape approach]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: This paper examined the linguistic landscape of the Governorate of Farwaniya, the biggest governorate in the State of Kuwait, by means of public and private signs displayed in the city center and side streets. A corpus of 150 photos of diverse signs, both official and non-official, was collected, categorized, analyzed and discussed. The results point to an undeniable representation of the Arabic language in both public and private spheres of life as well as to a substantial presence of the English language on a wide range of signage therefore confirming the imprint the process of globalization has made on this EFL context. The findings also indicate that some other world languages, namely Bengali, Hindi, and Chinese, are represented in the linguistic landscape of Kuwait but rather poorly.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Labour Market Transition Differences between Natives and  Immigrants in EU Economies]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: The recent economic crisis has had an adverse effect on the  labour markets of European economies and certain population groups  have been disproportionally affected by it. Increased migration flows  may very well have created further pressures on the labour markets of  host countries. The focus of the analysis here is on differences in  transitions from unemployment to employment and vice versa  between native and immigrant populations in European economies  during the 1998-2015 period. The analysis reveals different  outcomes to transitions from unemployment to employment, where in  certain countries and years, the unemployed natives find  proportionally more jobs, while in other countries and years, it is the  immigrants. In most of the countries, however, employed immigrants  are more likely to lose a job than natives. In addition to identifying  the immigrant-native gap, the characteristics of individuals as  potential contributing factors to the gap have also been assessed. The  results of this analysis show that similar individual characteristics  exert a different influence on the immigrant-native gap in labour  market outcomes in different countries. Thus, similar individual  characteristics are rewarded differently in different countries, i.e.,  their labour markets.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Semantic preference and semantic prosody-a theoretical overview]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: Semantic preference and semantic prosody are two notions that were carefully analysed in post-Firthian corpus linguistics and in the past few years there has been a growing interest in them. As corpora have become larger in size, and tools for extracting different lexical items for different purposes have been developed, the two terms have been addressed more frequently by linguists1. Throughout history, semantic preference and semantic prosody have sometimes been used for the same phenomenon but at other times the two were considered different but closely related. Previous corpus-based studies on the two terms have shown that they can be attached to many investigated lexical items. Therefore, this paper aims to present a detailed theoretical overview of the two terms in order to emphasise their immense importance for identifying the meaning of all the lexical items.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Performance of Moving Average Investment Timing Strategy  in UK Stock Market: Individual Stocks versus Portfolios]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: This paper aims to test whether moving average (MA) investment  timing strategy is applicable on individual stocks, portfolios formed from these  stocks, or both. Moreover, our objective is to compare the performance of MA  strategy with a buy-and-hold strategy. The data on individual stocks listed on  London Stock Exchange, United Kingdom (UK) is collected over the period  starting from December 31, 1999, through February 29, 2016. For the same  period, we use daily values of UK-DS Market-PRICE INDEX and 1-Month  Treasury bill rate. The paper follows Han et al. (2013) to peruse our  investigation. The study applies both MA and buy-and-hold strategies to  individual stocks and portfolios sorted by volatility. Since most results are  found insignificant, no evidence is found to support that one strategy is better  than the other when applied to individual stocks. However, trading behavior  and success ratios across groups provide mixed results, hinting slightly towards  the failure of MA strategy. The pervasive noise in daily stock return data is  the reason why MA strategy consistently produces insignificant results.  Moreover, when applied to volatility-sorted portfolios, MA strategy  substantially beats buy-and-hold strategy by yielding higher average return  and risk-adjusted returns, lower standard deviations, large-and-positive  skewness and Sharpe ratios, and much success ratios across portfolios. Both for  individual stocks and portfolios, dynamics of returns and especially trading  behavior suggest that the performance of MA strategy decreases with rising lag  lengths, meaning MA signal weakens for a longer history.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Deontology of Teachers, Socrates Oath or Code of Ethics]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Abstract: Deontology, the science of teaching professional duties refers to the moral obligation of teachers towards students. The principle of ethics: &quot;Age quod agis&quot; or &quot;Do (well) what you&#039;re doing“involves legislation, psychology of communication, behavior and ethics. Overcoming pedagogical ethics as attitude towards professional obligations, community and colleagues, it studies the rights and duties regulated by the code of the profession. The difference between Bentham&#039;s and Kant&#039;s views about duties is the difference between professional oath and school&#039;s code of ethics. Therefore deontology consider duties as base of moral and professionally mature person who swears to success, while code of ethics is based on a mistrustful society that doubt in the identity of moral values, professionals and society as well.<br />

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Translation and Translators in Romani Context]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Abstract: Since the area presenting former Yugoslavia has no mandatory Romani langauge classes and consequently no offically recognized translation classes, nor does it provide training for Romani translators, this paper deals with the experience and the current situation of Romani translation and translators. Theoretical background of Polysystems, Descriptive Translation Studies (DTS), Skopos and non-systems oriented ‘Cluster concept’ provide support for a better approach to translation in the Romani context. ‘Cluster concept’ allows the possibility to create a definition of Translation Romani as a new approach to Translation Studies. As translation represents one of the ways to preserve and develop linguistic vitality in the minority languages, reassuring its speakers, activating the creation of new vocabulary, and strengthening domains of language use that are under-used, it also applies as a way for creating translation strategies for teaching Translation Romani. This research is grounded in personal experience, and presents the beginning of the research on Translation Romani (TR).]]></dcterms:description>
