    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Economics of Boron Mining in Turkey]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Boron minerals are one of the most important richness of Turkey. Turkey has a great  potential in boron minerals regards to the reserves and the quality of these minerals. Boron  minerals have an intensive and increasing usage ranging from glass to detergent industry and in  metallurgical, agricultural and nuclear applications. Despite the important potential, Turkey gains  only an average of 300 million US Dollars per year. Therefore, this income should be increased  proportionally to the potential. In this study, production and export of ETĠBOR A.ġ. since 1978,  future targets are reviewed.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[University Intellectual Capital: Measurement Model and Application]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[There is the widespread recognition of the importance of intellectual capital  (IC) as a major source of competitive advantage for any organisation operating in today‘s  knowledge economy (KE). In particular, universities are recognised as being essential to  the new economy as the prime producers and transmitters of knowledge in a society.  Therefore, it is not surprising that the management and measurement of IC by universities  is becoming an increasingly important issue in the knowledge management (KM) research  and practice. It is argued that universities need to use the IC model as a tool to aid them in  meeting new management challenges and diffuse their intangible resources and activities  to their stakeholders and society at large. This study addresses this need by developing a  specific model for measuring intellectual capital of universities and by applying it in the  specific context of a new private university in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is  hoped that the use of this model can help the university in reaching its scientific and  educational goals.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In assessing EFL students’ writings consistently, there are various factors that  must be taken into consideration while rating. Especially those who want to make  quantitative researches using raters or who aim to give suitable feedback to written  productions should be responsible for fulfilling the requirements in marking and scoring  process. In this context, this paper looks insight for some issues related to the raters, such  as inter-rater reliability, analytic or holistic examinations, rating criteria, and others. This  study includes 8 native raters and 8 non-native raters, each of whom rated an ESL essay  both holistically and analytically. Every participant rater’s background of scoring ESL  writings was similar. The result showed that there was no significant difference between  raters, that is, participants’ grading of the essay is irrespective of their being native  speakers. At the end of the study, some important implications for essay rating practices  and both the researchers and language teacher were emphasized.  Key Words: Rater, Reliability, Assessing Writing, EFL]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[A Competitive Analysis Of Ski Resorts In Bosnia And Herzegovina Using  Differential Advantage Proforma]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The purpose of this paper is to conduct a competitive analysis of ski resorts in Bosnia  and Herzegovina using differential advantage proforma. Bosnia and Herzegovina has a strong  brand image due to Winter Olympics conducted in Sarajevo in 1984. This image has been  weakening due to lack of marketing efforts, especially following the war between former  Yugoslav republics. Competitive analysis is an important part of marketing strategy for companies  to identify strengths and weaknesses among various competitors. In this study, differential  advantage proforma is used as a technique of competitive analysis to identify comparable positions  and key customer values of ski-resorts in Bosnia and Herzegovina. To identify competitive  positions, a series of qualitative techniques (focus groups, personal interviews, site visits –  observation) are used. Research results indicate that five competing ski-resorts have unique  differential advantages that can be used in marketing of these resorts.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Servant leadership is an increasingly popular concept in the repertoire of leadership  styles. The concepts of servant leadership appear to underlie most of current literature on  leadership theory and management practice. When viewed in a historical and scientific  context, servant leadership proves to be the viable and sustainable option for organizational  longevity.  Servant leadership has been described as ―a transformational approach to life and work‖ that  takes ―the transformation wrought in its followers to a new height‖. The servant leader‘s first  priority is to serve others including customers, employees and the community involving  shared decision-making, a holistic attitude toward work and comminity building.The servant  leader belives in awareness, empathy and integrity and is most likely to engage in responsible  reflection. He/She has been referred an active, empowering process in which the leader  enables the followers to do their work and take responsibility for self-management. The result  is as a synergy of shared vision, trust and responsibility that engenders a flexible organization  and a deeply satisfying work life.The aim of this study is to describe the servant leadership  that is an increasingly popular concept for organizations. On the other hand, this study  indicates that the functional attributes of servant leadership such as communication,  credibility, competence, stewardship, visibility, influence, persuasion, listening,  encourgement, teaching and delegation. In the other words this article examines  transformational leadership and servant leadership to determine what similitaries and  differences exist between the two leadership concepts.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Level of pistillate flower abscission (PFA) in Turkish walnut cultivars was  investigated in this study. Emasculated and bagged female flowers were pollinated with  5%, 50% and 100% pollen concentrations at receptivity. Control flowers left for open  pollination. In addition, a whole tree was sprayed with 125 ppm ethylene inhibitor AVG  (amino ethoxy vinyl glycine) when anthesis reached to 5-30% and a control tree was not  treated for each cultivar. Number of aborted flowers at diameter of 3-4cm was counted  and percent PFA was calculated. The results showed that Turkish walnut cultivars had  medium (65.4%) to high (100%) levels of PFA including the leading cultivars ‘Sebin’  and ‘Bilecik’ (94.8% and 93.4% PFA, respectively). Application of AVG reduced PFA  from 82.4% to 43.6% in average and increased fruit set significantly in all cultivars  except ‘Sen-1’.]]></dcterms:abstract>

However the institutions of the people used to cover this shortcoming with in-service  training. Those in-service trainings are not for personal sustainable development thus  they are made for covering institutional shortcoming.  Whereas the people can provide their personal sustainable development without  expending from their own budget by applying their projects to EU Education and  Youth Programs so they provide donation. Barely many people have no information  about such a program.  The Lifelong learning program (LLP) which is included in EU Education and Youth  Program donates these kinds of projects. Especially General Education and VET  experts and managers study visit program has the quality to provide personal  sustainable development. Therefore the project named “The VET in the Dimension of  Europe” performed in October 2008 was approached as applied project sample.]]></dcterms:abstract>
