University Vocational School Students’ Beliefs about Foreign Language Learning
Authors: Şevik Mustafa , Yalçın Ahmet , Bostancıoğlu Fatma 
Published: April 2018

Understanding language learner beliefs, in other words understanding what language learners accept as true or real, has recently been stressed in educational research. This is mainly because language learning beliefs are regarded as fundamental in the language learning process and in learners progress. Therefore, finding out language learner beliefs about language learning will not only be helpful in forming effective learning methods but also provide guidelines for language teachers, syllabus planners and policy makers to suit their teaching methods, syllabuses, and policies to meet learner beliefs and expectations. This paper reports on a descriptive study of language learning beliefs held by 296 university vocational school students studying in the two-year associate degree programs at Mehmet Akif Ersoy University (MAKÜ), Gölhisar Vocational School and Gölhisar Health Services Vocational School. A modified Turkish version of a questionnaire based on Horwitz BALLI (Beliefs About Language Learning Inventory) was used to assess learners’ beliefs. The data were analyzed descriptively and the results were provided in tables with their relevant percentages. The results of this study demonstrated that university vocational school learners have a range of beliefs both similar to and different from those revealed by previous research on learner beliefs about language learning. The study concludes with suggestions that the identification of learner beliefs about language learning may lead to increased awareness on the part of the learners themselves, syllabus planners and policy makers.

ПРАВНИ ОСНОВ ЗА ИШЧЕЗАВАЊЕ СИМВОЛИЗМА У САКРАЛНОЈ УМЕТНОСТИ (укидање уредби које нису добре [Јез. 20, 25])

Symbolism is a characteristic of the ancient Christian art. Symbolic and character representations did not seek realism and credibility. Its sacral meaning considered as consecrated was wrapped in esoteric language, but behind simple images, reality lies deep within. Symbolic language expanded and developed easily. However, clear art relieved old symbols and all elements hiding its content. The Quinisext council rule gives first more specific shape of art theory and foundation for the further art growth. In the previous period symbolism was dominant but it was temporary in nature. Symbolism was “other statutes that were not good” (Ez 20, 25).

The Constitutionality of Uncompensated §179D(d)(4) Allocations by State, Local, and Municipal Government Building Owners
Authors: Douthett Edward B. , Duchac Jonathan E. , Petzel Arthur 
Published: April 2018

ABSTRACT
Internal Revenue Code §179D provides accelerated tax deductions to building owners that invest in energy efficient building improvements. However, the value of this incentive for government building owners is limited as these entities are tax exempt. §179D(d)(4) allows state and local governments to realize a portion of these benefits by transferring their §179D deductions to a qualified, taxable, private sector entity in exchange for compensation. This compensation can be used to reduce the governmental entity's cost of energy efficient investments, allowing them and, ultimately, taxpayers to benefit from this incentive. In practice, disagreement exists over a governmental entity's right to compensation in exchange for §179D(d)(4) transfers. These differences have become more visible in recent years, resulting in policy changes by state and local governments, and litigation by state agencies that had not been compensated for these transfers. We contribute to this debate by reviewing and evaluating (1) the arguments against providing compensation in exchange for §179D(d)(4) transfers, (2) the state constitutionality of uncompensated §179D(d)(4) transfers, and (3) recent litigation and policy changes. Our analysis finds little support for arguments against compensated transfers, and a reasonable argument that compensated transfers may be required under most state constitutions.
Local determinants of foreign direct investment in Poland: the role of relative distance
Authors: Nazarczuk Jarosław Michał , Krajewska Anna 
Published: April 2018

Research background: The increasing role of foreign direct investments (FDI) in global, national, regional, and local economies draws the public?s attention to the criteria utilised by foreign investors in undertaking locational decisions, owing to the mostly stimulating character of these kinds of investments.
Purpose of the article: The aim of the article is to identify the local determinants of FDI distribution. Particular attention is put on the role of distance to: (i) various transport endowments; (ii) next special economic zone; (iii) different national borders, among other motives studied in empirical papers.
Methods: An important value added over the existing studies is the use of continuous variables representing distances (in km) to selected points of interest (e.g., airport) or minimum distances to lines (i.e., border, road) instead of dummy variables indicating whether particular infrastructure endowment is present in a region. The estimations were run in STATA 14.2 software with the use of a negative binomial approach.
Findings & Value added: The results present new empirical evidence on FDI determinants witnessed at a local level of analysis (LAU 1), fitting into the other research done at a higher level of data aggregation (NUTS 2, NUTS 3), signalling high intra-regional inequalities and the role of: (i) relative distance to various infrastructure endowments; (ii) heterogeneous border effects; and (iii) the importance of close proximity to special economic zones. Given the presence of counties? auto selection process (i.e., better developed, endowed, urbanised, favourably located) done by FDI investors, we formulate universal implications in terms of FDI promotion policy.
The determinants of local public investments in Poland
Authors: Banaszewska Monika 
Published: April 2018

Research background: Local public investments satisfy basic local communities? needs and are crucial from the perspective of regional convergence. Against this background, investments by the Polish local government pose as an interesting research subject. It is because, due to its size and dynamics, local public investments exert a considerably significant influence on the Polish economy. Self-government entities with primary responsibility for conducting local public in-vestments in Poland are municipalities.
Purpose of the article: The paper aims to identify fiscal, demographic and infra-structural determinants of municipal investment spending in Poland.
Methods: We use panel data for 2,412 Polish municipalities over the period 2007?2014. For institutional reasons, the sample excludes cities with county rights. The baseline specification employs two-way fixed-effects (FE) estimation that controls both for municipality and year fixed effects. To test for robustness, the sample is restricted to municipalities with up to 20,000; 10,000 and 5,000 inhabitants. For each considered sample, there are four regression specifications.
Findings & Value added: Investment spending increases both in own revenues and grants. On the contrary, we document the negative impact of indebtedness level and the coverage of water supply and sewage systems. The coefficients on population size and the share of old inhabitants cease to be negative and statistically significant for municipalities with fewer than 10,000 inhabitants. The results indicate that, apart from fiscal capacity, the investment policies of Polish municipalities are affected by economies of scale, local communities? preferences and infrastructural endowment. The study also shows that incurring debt should be of particular concern for supervisory and control bodies.

XIII. yüzyılın
ikinci yarısında meydana gelen Moğol istilası Anadolu’ya çok sayıda Türk ve Moğol&nbsp;kabilesinin gelmesine sebep
olmuştur. Moğollar,&nbsp;askeri birliklerini teşkil eden
Moğol&nbsp;ve Türk&nbsp;aşiretlerini Anadolu’nun doğu bölgelerine yerleştirdiler. Zira Doğu Anadolu yaylak-kışlak hayat tarzını sürdüren bu aşiretler
için uygun özellikleri barındırmaktaydı. İlk kez Celaleddin&nbsp;Harezmşah’ı takip eden
Çurmağun&nbsp;Noyan’la birlikte
gelen bu topluluklar arasında Uygur, Karluk&nbsp;ve çok sayıda Türkmen&nbsp;topluluğu da vardı.&nbsp; Bu bağlamda Yassıçemen yenilgisinden sonra, çoğunluğu Kanglı
ve Kıpçak Türklerinden müteşekkil Harezmli ordusu başıboş bir vaziyette Anadolu’ya dağılmıştı. Selçuklu ve Eyyubi hizmetine alınan bir grup
Harezmlilerin Van ve çevresine iskân edildikleri yer adlarından
anlaşılmaktadır. Ayrıca Selçuklu&nbsp;fütühatıyla Azerbaycan’a gelen çok
sayıda Oğuz boyunun&nbsp;Moğol istilasıyla birlikte Doğu
Anadolu’ya ve bilhassa Van Gölü Havzası’na akın ettiği kaynaklarda
anlatılmaktadır.

Bölgeye esas büyük nüfusun gelişi
Hülegü’nün Batı seferi sonucunda olmuştur. Hülegü’nün ordusunda başta Uyrat,
Sulduz, Celayir, Tatar, Sünit olmak üzere çok sayıda Moğol boyu vardı. Bu Moğol
kabileleri Van Gölü’nün kuzeyindeki Aladağları yaylak olarak kullanıyorlardı.
İlhanlı devletinin yıkılışından sonra da bölgede varlıklarını devam
ettireceklerdir. Hülegü yöreyi stratejik öneminden dolayı Ahlat merkezli bir
eyalet içerisine aldığı gibi bölgeye Türk ve Moğol boylarını da iskan etmiştir.
Akkoyunlu&nbsp;ve Kara Koyunlu&nbsp;Türkmenlerinin de Moğol istilasıyla geldikleri
düşünülürse Van Gölü Havzası’nın demografik yapısının nasıl teşekkül ettiği
daha iyi anlaşılmaktadır.

Yukarıda bahsi geçen Türk-Moğol
boyları, önce İlhanlı devleti içerisindeki taht mücadeleleri, ardından devletin
yıkılmasıyla başlayan hâkimiyet mücadeleleri ve nihayet Kara Koyunlu ve
Akkoyunlu mücadeleleri sonucunda başta İran ve Orta Anadolu olmak üzere çevreye

Osmotic myelinolysis: literature review and case report
Authors: Rutkauskaitė G. , Klimašauskienė A. 
Published: April 2018

Central pontine myelinolysis is described as osmotic myelinolysis syndrome which usually occurs as a consequence of rapid correction of hyponatremia. Pontine myelinolysis is divided into central pontine myelinolysis and extrapontine myelinolysis. Hyponatremia is commonly found in patients with chronic alcoholism and malnutrition and can be caused by liver diseases, the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion, as well as adrenal insufficiency and iatrogenic disorders. There are several pathophysiologic mechanisms that explain the development of osmotic myelinolysis. A biphasic clinical course is characteristic. The primary symptoms are encephalopathy and/or seizure attacks due to hyponatremia followed by regeneration during normonatremia and, after several days, a deterioration may manifest with focal neurological symptoms, mental and behavioral disorders. The earliest intrinsic brain changes can be seen in the MRT DWI images. There are no approved recommendations for the treatment of osmotic myelinolysis, however, the literature describes four successful cases when treating patients with thyrotropin-releasing hormone, plasmapheresis therapy, corticosteroids and intravenous immunoglobulins. Osmotic myelinolysis can be prevented by increasing the serum sodium concentration by 4 to 6 mmol/L in a 24-hour period and the maximum rate of correction should be 8 mmol/L in other 24-hour periods. With proper recognition and therapy, the outcomes of osmotic myelinolysis can improve. We present a case report of a 30-year old male patient with parkinsonian syndrome when magnetic resonance imaging confirmed extrapontine myelinolysis.

Background and objectives. Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS). The aim of this study was to determine the presence of fatigue in MS patients in Latvia and its relation to life style factors, neurological disability and depression.Material and methods. This cross-sectional study included 117 participants (44 patients with MS and 73 healthy control group). Applied research instruments were: Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), and the general questionnaire for the collection of socio-demographic, life style habits and clinical data constructed for the purposes of this study.Results. Mean FSS score was 3.9±1.9 in MS group. 26 (59.1%) patients had FSS score of 3.8 or more and were classified as a fatigue group (MSF) while 18 (40.9%) patients had FSS of 3.7 or less and were classified as a non-fatigue (MSNF) group. There was statistically significant difference between MSF and MSNF groups considering PHQ-9 score (p=0.019), FSS score (p<0.001) and EDSS score (p<0.001). Significant correlations of fatigue with depression (r=0.48, p=0.001), fatigue with neurological disability (r=0.49, p=0.001) and fatigue with smoking (r=0.29, p=0.054) were confirmed.Conclusions. Fatigue is a common symptom in MS patients in Latvia. This study supports significant association between fatigue and clinical factors (disability, depression) and modifiable lifestyle factor – smoking.
