Estimating Statistical Model for Driver U-Turn Gap Acceptance Behavior
Get PDFGap acceptance is the most important parameter in determining the capacity of U-turn opening. U-turn safety and efficiency are affected by the behavior of drivers on gap acceptance. The driver required a sufficient gap length to cross the U-turn section. This study is a trial to find a statistical model for driver gap acceptance behavior. A video recording has been used to collect traffic volumes and characteristics for microscopic information such as the number, types of vehicles, opposing through traffic, turning movement, time headway acceptable gap, queue length, and the number of lanes in each direction. The studied area was located within an urban area characterized by a large number of commercial shops and governmental offices. The highway segment was located at the extended of Al-Ghadeer sector toward Al-Escan highway. That link between the Jameea and Al-salam sectors on one side and Al-Escan and Al- qadesiya sectors on the other side with Najaf-Kufa highway in Najaf city. This segment was a 4-lane divided highway containing on-street parking in each direction and five mid-block U-turns with acceleration lane distribution along the median. Four U-turn facilities were selected as a case study. The traffic volumes for each direction were calculated manually every 15 minutes. Traffic volume and traffic composition were determined manually. A simple software program called EVENT written in C-language provides a system for data counting and enables digital counting for available gaps. The queue length is determined for every 30 seconds and then determine the average queue length for every 15 minutes. Results show gap length gives a higher influence on U-turn gap acceptance decision than wait time; and U-turn driver age, vehicle type of both U-turning and opposing through traffic, and queue time did not influence gap acceptance decision at a 95% confidence interval; U-turn gap acceptance decision connected in equation with gap length, and wait time under the percentage correctness of about 50%. Average travel speeds are an essential factor in driver gap acceptance decisions. It may be the absence factor that made the model more corrective. Future research could also focus on the control and management of such a medium opening to ensure traffic flow and safety. Some of the proposed improvement plans can be studied in detail to assess efficiency and effectiveness

The role of human resources in achieving institutional excellence from the point of view of the administrations of King Abdul-Aziz University: an applied study
Get PDFThe study aimed to identify the role of human resources in achieving institutional excellence, and the study relied on the descriptive analytical approach using the questionnaire tool, which contained 3 axes that measure institutional excellence: selection and appointment, training, and evaluation. The questionnaire was applied to an intentional sample of female employees of the deanships of King Abdulaziz University, represented by (Deanship of Admission and Registration, Deanship of Distance Learning, Deanship of Graduate Studies). The sample size was (35) female employees. The study found that the majority of respondents highly agree on the importance of the role of human resources to achieve institutional excellence in the training axis for employees. While their approval of the evaluation axis came in the second place, and in the third rank came the selection and appointment axis as the least role in achieving institutional excellence. It was found that there was no statistically significant relationship at the level of 0.05 between the entity to which the employee belongs, the educational qualification, the number of years of experience, and the achievement of institutional excellence in the axis of selection and appointment, training, and evaluation. The study recommends the following: conducting a similar study on another Saudi university, which may also address other dimensions other than those studied and conducting comparative studies for the level of achieving institutional excellence in public and private universities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and working to achieve institutional excellence in all sectors of education in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia

French Public Order as Restriction of Arbitration Clause in the Contracts of International Commerce
Get PDFThe article describes a new observation over the role of French public order in international arbitration. Based on the fact that France is well known as a privileged venue for arbitration. It has aided deliver international arbitration with the means to become a reliable dispute resolution mechanism and to form itself as an alternative dispute mechanism to local courts. France adopted a new arbitration law in 2011, modernizing the rules applicable to both national and international arbitration. This new law organizes the principles established in case law and aims to have the trust of international arbitration actors in the French legal system. Enabling to analytical observing, we found that the French law has approved international arbitration extensive autonomy. However, this autonomy is not entire: it finds its limit in public order. Recent progresses lead to a failure in public order in the arbitration clause. Jurisprudence has not only authorized arbitrators to apply rules and principles of public order, but it has also gave them the power to sanction their violation. The French law has even adopted a material rule of general scope where public order plays a particular role: it has become the sole cause of nullity of the international arbitration clause. The French public order don’t allow violation of its perspective of international public order, even in the international commerce contracts. It recalls that it is up to it, not to verify whether the arbitral decisions were or were not taken legally, but to determine whether the recognition or the execution of the award is likely to hinder the legal objective of certain actions, as defined by the international commercial contract. It rightly holds that such research, conducted for the defense of international public order, is neither limited to the evidence produced before the arbitrators nor bound by the findings, assessments and qualifications made by them, its only in this respect consisting of ensuring that the production of evidence before it respects the principle of adversarial and equality of arms.  
Sexual Acts, in Law, Between Freedom and Criminalization
Get PDFThis research aims towards the standardized tracking of the regulation of sexual acts, defining the origin of freedom; exclusion of restriction, after the clarification of permissibility and prohibition. Regulation is the most appropriate term used when addressing the matter of freedom regarding sexual acts, noting that, this research addresses the issue of male-female relationships in a civilized societal context. Moreover, criminalizing sexual acts based on the interpretation of religious texts has two criteria: the language controls in which the text is written, keeping in mind that, interpretations may not exceed the meaning of its language; and scientific truth. On the other hand, the criminalization of sexual acts on the basis of contemporary laws must come from the law criminalizing a specific sexual act or from the judge's decision, which is considered to be a sexual act that goes against public morals, with that being said, there is no room for a third source
