    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Transposition of the Directive 2011/83/EU on consumer rights - A challenge to national legislators]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: In the area of European contract law  legal area most affected by the process of harmonization, and consequently the process of revision is the area of consumer protection. Because in the last few decades most intense legislative activity is manifested in the adoption of consumer directives. Transposing consumer directives member states have recognized the opportunity of their own economic development, since the improvement of trade is only possible if consumers enjoy the same rights no matter where in the territory of the European Union conclude contracts .  This paper is focused on new horizontal instrument of European consumer law, Directive 2011/83/EU on consumer rights. Directive 2011/83/EU is a pioneering step towards building a coherent European consumer protection law, and in this light will be indicated the problem questions that arise in the process of harmonization of regulation Member States with Directive 2011/83/EU, keeping in mind the maximum harmonization clause. Also critically will be considered the process of harmonization of positive legislation with the Acquis in the field of consumer protection.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Autor u ovom radu raspravlja o zaštiti imovinskih prava i interesa djeteta, preispitujući pozitivnopravni okvir kojim se uređuju imovinskopravni odnosi između roditelja i djece, odnosno kojim se utvrđuju mehanizmi zaštite prava djeteta imovinske prirode, nastojeći da utvrdi da li postojeća zakonska rješenja osiguravaju efikasnu zaštitu prava maloljetnika. Pored razmatranja cilja i sadržaja mjera kojima se ograničavaju prava roditelja na imovini djeteta, autor ukazuje na značaj i ulogu izdržavanja djeteta, ali isto tako identifikuje probleme u ostvarivanju ovog prava. Konačno, zaštita imovinskih prava djeteta u značajnoj mjeri zavisi od određenih institucija koje sa stanovišta svojih ovlašćenja i odgovarajućih kompetencija mogu značajno doprinijeti pravnoj zaštiti djeteta, pa je ovim istraživanjem obuhvaćena i analiza njihovog položaja, mogućnosti i nedostataka u njihovom funkcionisanju.  	Ključne riječi: imovinska prava djeteta, prava roditelja na imovini djeteta, pravo djeteta na izdržavanje, institucionalni kapaciteti za zaštitu prava djeteta.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Prosody and Quantity of English Compounds]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Following the earlier works of Booij (1985) and Nespor &amp; Vogel (1986) I provide further evidence that English compounds are made up of prosodic words. The length of the first components must be preserved because they are identical to basic lexical forms. In some other languages, as for example in Serbian, the length of the first components may be shortened because the inclusion of linking vowels can contribute to the building of the required ‘derived environment’ (Kiparsky 1985). This invoking of the strict cyclicity condition is however necessary only for those English dialects in which the accented syllables are not necessarily closed.  In this paper I discuss the prosodic status and quantity of English compounds.     Keywords: English Compounds, prosodic structure, trochaic shortening, quantity, stric cyclicity]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Truths about Bosnia and Herzegovina, Conflict or Synergy]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: The author discusses the importance of the ECtHR ruling in the case Sejdić and Finci in terms of necessary constitutional amendments that will establish Bosnia and Herzegovina as a normal European democratic country, which is independent and capable of integration in the EU. According to the author, BH is facing an inter-personal conflict of interests of constituent peoples which are harming them and the development of the state they reside in. He agrees the greater prominence of the constitutional system of BH should be given civic on the account of the national principle, however, this should not mean neglecting the concern for the equality of the constituent peoples and entities. Since the last war ended, these peoples have been living next to each other far too separately, and several times still against each other. In BH, various truths of the constituent peoples, &quot;the others&quot; and the international community are fronting. So far they have mostly been in conflict with one another rather than cooperating in synergy. The international community is undeniably accredited for terminating war-oriented hatred and maintaining permanent peace in BH. However, the &quot;imposed&quot; Dayton constitutional system has become the reason for inhibiting the development of BH. For that reason, the international community should transform its influence in such manner that it still stays the peace guarantor, but at the same time not jeopardize the BH independence to such an extent that it continues to represent the insurmountable obstacle to enter the EU. Strengthening the position and influence of &quot;the others&quot;, i.e. those who are not the members of the constituent peoples, and considering their truths about BH, may bring fresh solutions in current problems and in searching for the new constitutional solutions. Therefore, the realization of the ECtHR ruling in the case Sejdić and Finci represents a small, yet constructive step in the right direction.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Relationship among Ethical Leadership and Organizational Citizenship Behavior: a study of private primary and high school teachers in Bosnia and Herzegovina]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[As a recent modern concept, ethical leadership inspires researchers in many ways. Relations between ethical leadership and organizational citizenship behaviors, though a new field of study, is a big mine that requires some digging. The so-called extra-role or pro-social actions of employees is called the organizational citizenship behavior meaning that whatever extra job they do than what they are supposed to do is within Organizational Citizenship Behavior. Namely, how the school teacher’s perception of his/her superior’s ethical behavior influences the organizational citizenship behavior has evoked curiosity in the developing country context. This study tries to examine the effects of the ethical leadership on Organizational Citizenship Behavior of private primary and high school teachers in Bosnia and Herzegovina which is a developing and transitional country. Data collected from 80 teachers. The relationship among multiple variables is evaluated on the basis of factor analysis, reliability, descriptive statistics, correlations, and linear regression. The study showed a positive and strong influence of ethical leadership on teachers’ organizational citizenship behavior in private primary and high schools.     Keywords: Organizational citizenship behavior, ethical leadership, factor analysis, correlation, regression.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This study explores the effects of social networks on English progress in a UAE international English National Curriuclum (ENC) boarding school. The observed population consisted of a case study of 11 boarding students, three female and eight male, who completed their first year of International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) curriculum in Year 10. Social network data was collected through the administration of a customized questionnaire, in addition to a semi-structured teacher questionnaire conducted with their English as an additional language (EAL) instructor. The results indicated that the plexity of social ties and the number of relations who used the target language had the highest positive relationship to the students’ English progress across most skills. An increased frequency of ‘non school friends’ in the social network had the strongest negative impact on language progress. This study proved that there may be various significant links between social relationships and language acquisition.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[TOPIC: ARSCOMBINATORIA IN THE NOVEL “THE NAME OF THE ROSE” BY UMBERTO ECO]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The difference between modernism and postmodernism is difficult to make, but we take as a reference the hypotheses of well-known literary theorists and critics like Terry Eagleton, Pavao Pavliçiç, Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault, Jacques Lacan, Gerard Genette, TzvetanTodorov, JurijLotman Julia Kristeva, MiekeBaletc, a hypothesis of the canadian theorist Linda Hachion, as far as my opinion is concerned is very straightfoward and rational, as far as the definition of postmodern art is concerned, where she sees it as a field where the presence of the past in context of the critical reflex over it, dominates. The poetics of postmodernism is the result of the concept of the domination of irony, the contraverse role, great aesthetic, ideological, substantial paradoxes, the post-modern work of art as such represents a subversive and contraversial phenomenon, that builds and ruines the same phenomena it provokes and raises. Unlike previous currents of art, in postmodernism we have the elements of idelogical and gender movements. Postmodernist writers are: Borges, Marquez, Buzzati, Umberto Eco etc. And it is Umberto Eco’s “The name of the Rose” (Ilnomedellarosa) that is the subject of my study, with a new substantial, ethical, aesthetic, ideological, religious form. In the epilogue of the novel Eco uses the phrase “revisiting tradition” because the past, according to the author cannot be undone but it rather needs to be revisited with irony and not innocence, to highlight the dissension within the head of the church, that in the name of triumph of an idea crimes are commited in an abbey and the epicenter of the occurences is the library rich in ancient and modern texts.  The references of our study were libraries, interviews, newspapers, raports and studies published in the internet as well as scientific journals.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[An Empirical Analysis of Real Deposits in Nigeria]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Abstract: The difference between estimated parameters of money supply and currency-deposit ratio is used to examine the behaviour of real deposits in Nigeria between 1960 and 2012. This is done using unrestricted error correction modelling within the bounds testing approach to cointegration proposed by Pesaran et al. (2001). Our findings revealed that inflation, real income and interest rates remain major factors influencing real deposit dynamics in Nigeria. Interestingly, financial innovation measured by the ratio of credit to the private sector and GDP was found to increase real deposits by 0.014% while the shadow economy accounted for the 0.96% fall in real deposits recorded. While interest rate and inflation remain quantitatively important in explaining long-run real deposit behaviour in Nigeria, our finding further underscores the need for monetary authorities to mainstream the informal sector into the financial system given the significant negative influence the shadow economy exerted on real deposit]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Issues in acquisition of non-temporal meanings of tenses in English by native speakers of Croatian]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Native speakers of Croatian often have problems with appropriate usage of English tenses that do not exist in Croatian, frequently associating past forms in English with perfective meanings in Croatian and non-past forms with imperfective meanings (because Croatian has verb aspect). They also encounter difficulties with non-temporal uses of English tenses.    Apart from the central meaning of tense as temporal reference, there are four non-temporal meanings of English tenses (Tyler, 2000): (1) emotional distance or intimacy; (2) the relative salience or status of the information being conveyed; (3) negative epistemic stance towards a particular scenario; (4) to express requests, commands and invitations.    Although some non-temporal meanings are very similar to those in English, there are also significant differences that cause difficulties to native speakers of Croatian in learning English as L2. Some of the differences are caused by metaphorical and metonymical shifts in meaning between the source domain (time distance) and the target domain (distance between wish and reality, simulating of distance in order to avoid direct appeal, distance of the deictic centre, counterfactual possible situation, etc.). In order to examine those assumptions, 102 students – English learners – were tested. Differences mainly occurred in cases when the past tense is used in English to signal (1) a negative epistemic stance towards a particular scenario and (2) tense as an expression of attenuation: invitations, requests and suggestions, because Croatian speakers tended to use the present tense in some cases.    We argue that a consistent description of non-temporal uses of tenses in Croatian and English, with analysis of differences, can facilitate the learning of these frequently occurring non-temporal uses of English tenses.    Keywords: Croatian, English, meaning, second language acquisition, tenses]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[LANGUAGE AND CULTURAL DIVERSITY IN THE NON-DIVERSE CLASSROOM]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The aim of the paper is to propose some simple ways of promoting linguistic and cultural diversity in a homogenous classroom made of students brought up in a bi-lingual environment and country. The ideas and suggestions come from the experiences of the authors in different environments and workplaces. The comparing groups are of different ages from compulsory school to a university/college level. The paper will be divided in two parts: on one hand there are suggestions which would be useful in a classroom with a teacher coming from the same place as the students, and on the other hand how would those and other ways work out in promoting a linguistic and cultural diversity in a classroom where the teacher/lecturer comes from another cultural and linguistic background. What has been the meeting point, how this type of cultural and language diversity would affect the critical thinking of the students; why would students benefit from diversity-promoting classes are some of the questions answered in the paper.  This is a cross-sectional study which tries to put together some possible forms of promoting diversity in the aspect of a language and culture in the classroom which does not mean that is based on a longitudinal type of research but on personal experiences and views of the authors. Moreover it is based on a questionnaire and displays its results]]></dcterms:abstract>
