The development of the political structure over time has been the field of application of many dynamic factors. Institutional structure, government effectiveness, anti-corruption and war and similar variables are some of these. In this book, the externalities affecting the political stability in the MENA region were examined within the analytical methods and useful quantitative findings were obtained.

Internal control systems operate at different levels of effectiveness in a business entity. Determining whether a particular internal control system is effective and/or is a judgement resulting from an assessment of whether the five components - control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication and monitoring- are present and functioning. Effective controls provide reasonable assurance regarding the accomplishment of established objectives. There is no such thing as a perfect control system in a business structure. The cost of implementing and inserting a specific control should not exceed the expected benefit of the control. Internal controls should reduce the risks associated with undetected errors or irregularities, but designing and establishing effective internal controls is not always a simple task and con not always be accomplished though a short set of quick fixes. I hope this book helps to explain the internal control concepts and gives you some ideas for improving your department's controls. Dr. Cem Niyazi Durmus

For the first time in English comes a remarkable literary discovery. In 1928, Turkish author Ali R¿za Seyfiölu pirated Bram Stoker's Dracula, completely rewriting it with new material, patriotic overtones, and Islam. A rare example of a "bootleg" novel, it's also the first adaptation to plainly identify Dracula as the historical warlord Vlad the Impaler.In Seyfiölu's story, when a modern Istanbul is threatened by the invasion of an ancient vampire, three veterans of the Turkish War of Independence are thrust into a conflict with their nation's hereditary enemy. Seyfiölu boldly reworks Stoker's classic tale, retelling it from the unique perspective of a people once routed by the real-life Dracula.Dracula in Istanbul: The Unauthorized Version of the Gothic Classic presents the first ever translation into English of Seyfiölu's novel, Kaz¿kl¿ Voyvoda. With a foreword by Anno Dracula author Kim Newman, an introduction by Turkish translation scholar ¿ehnaz Tahir Gürçälar, an afterword on the 1953 movie adaptation Drakula ¿stanbul'da by film scholar Iain Robert Smith, and several rare photos from the film, Dracula in Istanbul is a rare combination of literary artifact and genuine entertainment. From movie and vampire buffs to literature scholars, there's enough here to delight all the children of the night.
