Author(s): Miłosz Markocki / Language(s): Polish Issue: 01/2015

The Internet has proven to be an immensely effective tool in text development and distribution for amateur authors. Never before had the amateur authors so many opportunities for sharing their creations with others as they do now thanks to the Internet. The global network has helped not only with the spreading of independent films but also with their evolution in to new forms. A good example of such new film form is machinima, a hybrid of film and computer game – to be more specific, a film created by using the graphic engines and elements of computer games. Machinima are very tightly connected to the Internet. The necessary tools for creating machinima are available on the Internet and it was on the Internet where the machinima appeared for the first time and where this film form gained fame. Another connection between machinima films and the Internet is the source material for machinima. Many machinima use graphic engines and elements of MMORPGs, which one can play only via Internet. That is why machinima films illustrate very well the nature of Internet independent films.

Author(s): Małgorzata Bulaszewska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 01/2015

In the early days of the development, Polish blogosphere recruited from professionals equipped with the ability to program in HTML. Only after some time blogging became widespread, in the XXI century to gain a global character with tools for creating blogs by people not armed with knowledge of software development. Technological progress quickly was mastered by the Internet natives, leading to the dominance of “youth” in the network, sending network users known as the “internet inhabitants” into the oblivion. These last, now retake their voice to create their own social spaces. Digital natives dominate especially fashion/lifestyle blogs but not only. However, increasingly, there are network diaries kept and dedicated for the generation of digital immigrants or digital dinosaurs. Differences and similarities in the conduct of blogs aimed at different target groups raise the question of popular understanding of youth and social networking opportunities in a group of non‑native sites. The above questions are confronting with the contented of chosen blogsconducted by and targeted to tree different age groups:14–35, 35 + and 55 +.

OSMANLI DEVLETİ’NDE FAİZ ve TEFECİLİĞE KARŞI ZİRÂÎ KREDİ TEŞKİLATLARI

Author(s): Ferhat Güngör / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 31/2016

Until the second half of the 19th century, no state established agricultural credit organizations existed in the Ottoman Empire to serve the credit needs of farmers. Farmers, in turn, took out high interest rate loans from loan sharks and moneylenders. When farmers were unable pay their loans, they were thrown into an inextricable situation of interest being added onto the interest of the debt. Midhat Pasha, during his governorship of Nis, established “Memleket Sandıkları” (Country Funds) on November 20th 1863, the first agricultural credit organization in Şehirköy-Pirot, in order to rescue farmers from the grip of loan sharks and moneylenders as well as strengthen ties with Ottoman subjects. Over time, establishments with the same objectives, such as “Ziraat Sandıkları” (Agriculture Funds) and “Menâfi Sandıkları” (Benefit Funds) appeared, followed by the 1888 establishment of the modern organization “Ziraat Bankası” (The Agricultural Bank), which has maintained its presence. This paper explores in depth the historical development of the concept of loans as well as interesting events pertaining to the farmer exploiting moneylenders and loan sharks in the Ottoman State who were against the implementation of credit organizations.

For the economy, it is a general truth that capitals and investments tend towards countries having low risk ratios and closed to market. Investments can be relatively less depending on the risks and other factors in different regions. However, it is possible to develop the regions with low economic standards by minimizing the risks. For this purpose, SMEs and entrepreneurship should be encouraged and supported locally and regionally. Thus, by resolving the economic development differences between regions including financially supported areas, the regions can be kept at reasonable and acceptable level. In this study, some implementations on improving conditions and removing barriers to entrepreneurs in underdeveloped regions economically and socially in Turkey and EU through incentives and supports will be explained.

Author(s): Ludmila Ivancheva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2019

Another important feature of technoscience is the growing role of the social factor for its development. Some modern technological and organizational innovation infrastructures such as clusters, techno-parks, “smart cities”, “living labs”, etc., are presented, considering them as an essential prerequisite for the sustainable development of technoscience. Key policy initiatives and measures to support them are presented at both European and national level.
