The Degree of Practice of Human Resources Management Skills by Educational Supervisors in Arab Society within the Green Line, in light of Quality Standards
No full textThe goal of this study was to examine the extent to which educational supervisors practice human resources management skills among Arab society within the Green Line, in light of quality standards. A descriptive survey approach was employed. For data collection, a questionnaire was designed, consisting of 35 items on a 5-point Likert scale. The study sample included 165 school principals randomly selected from schools in the targeted region, as well as all 72 educational supervisors in that region (comprehensive survey). Results indicated that the level of practice of human resources management skills among supervisors was high. Furthermore, the findings revealed significant statistical differences between the means of estimates at (α = 0.05) related to respondent gender, with females showing higher scores. However, no significant differences were found regarding respondents’ educational qualifications or job titles. Based on these results, the authors presented some recommendations and concluding remarks
The Legal System for Abolishing Public Office: A Comparative Study
No full textThis study examines the legal framework for abolishing public offices through a comparative approach by discussing the concept of civil service abolition, outlining the conditions for such an action, clarifying the implications of job cancellation, and addressing the administrative judiciary’s stance on decisions related to employee dismissal due to job abolition. The findings indicate that administrative authorities must organize public utilities, which may include laying off employees when a department or unit is abolished. Administrative demobilization is a legal license granted to the government, terminating the employment relationship outside disciplinary procedures. When exercised to serve the public interest, such decisions are considered legitimate. The study also identifies conditions necessary for the legitimacy of job abolition decisions: the job cancellation must be genuine; its purpose should be to reorganize the public facility; the cancellation should not be intended as disciplinary dismissal; transferring the employee to another position must be impossible before cancellation; and the decision to cancel must precede the employee’s termination decision. The end of employment due to job cancellation does not sever the legal relationship entirely; instead, it entails several effects: the employee is entitled to financial rights, the possibility of transfer to another job, or referral to retirement or deposit, as well as termination of service and administrative demobilization. Finally, the study recommends establishing a comprehensive legal framework that consolidates all reasons and implications of employee termination into a single law, facilitating understanding and regulation of public employment matters. It emphasizes amending the legal texts to ensure that employees’ rights are protected, especially through penal provisions that prevent administrative abuse and promote justice between management and employees. Furthermore, it advocates for empowering the Jordanian administrative judiciary to exercise authority similar to that of the French legal system, protecting employees’ right to re-employment after dismissal. Lastly, the study highlights that protecting job stability and security for public employees in Jordanian legislation aligns closely with French law and Egyptian legislation.
Abstract
This study examines the legal framework for abolishing public offices through a comparative approach by discussing the concept of civil service abolition, outlining the conditions for such an action, clarifying the implications of job cancellation, and addressing the administrative judiciary’s stance on decisions related to employee dismissal due to job abolition. The findings indicate that administrative authorities must organize public utilities, which may include laying off employees when a department or unit is abolished. Administrative demobilization is a legal license granted to the government, terminating the employment relationship outside disciplinary procedures. When exercised to serve the public interest, such decisions are considered legitimate. The study also identifies conditions necessary for the legitimacy of job abolition decisions: the job cancellation must be genuine; its purpose should be to reorganize the public facility; the cancellation should not be intended as disciplinary dismissal; transferring the employee to another position must be impossible before cancellation; and the decision to cancel must precede the employee’s termination decision. The end of employment due to job cancellation does not sever the legal relationship entirely; instead, it entails several effects: the employee is entitled to financial rights, the possibility of transfer to another job, or referral to retirement or deposit, as well as termination of service and administrative demobilization. Finally, the study recommends establishing a comprehensive legal framework that consolidates all reasons and implications of employee termination into a single law, facilitating understanding and regulation of public employment matters. It emphasizes amending the legal texts to ensure that employees’ rights are protected, especially through penal provisions that prevent administrative abuse and promote justice between management and employees. Furthermore, it advocates for empowering the Jordanian administrative judiciary to exercise authority similar to that of the French legal system, protecting employees’ right to re-employment after dismissal. Lastly, the study highlights that protecting job stability and security for public employees in Jordanian legislation aligns closely with French law and Egyptian legislation

No full textThis study aimed to determine the degree of organizational laxity among elementary school principals in the south within the Green Line and its relationship to teachers\u27 morale levels. The descriptive correlational approach was used; the sample of the study consisted of 420 male and female teachers. Data were collected using a questionnaire that included two sections: the first measured the degree of principals’ organizational laxity, and the second assessed teachers\u27 morale levels. The findings indicated that, from the teachers’ perspective, the degree of organizational laxity among elementary school principals in the south within the Green Line was moderate, and teachers\u27 morale levels were also moderate. Additionally, there was a significant negative correlation between the degree of organizational laxity among elementary school principals and teachers\u27 morale levels. Based on the results, the researchers recommended several actions, most notably: the need to conduct training courses for school principals to reduce their organizational laxity and to focus on efforts to improve teachers\u27 morale

The article aimed to identify the degree of implementation of Jordanian Cybercrime Law No. 17 of 2023 by Jordanian journalists, and its repercussions on freedom of expression. This study belongs to descriptive ones and has used a survey method through a questionnaire as a study tool distributed to an available sample consisting of 313 journalists and media professionals, including 126 members of the Journalists Syndicate and 187 journalists and professors employed in news institutions and universities. The research also used in-depth interviews. The results revealed that media professionals and journalists were highly acquainted with and dealt positively with the Cybercrime Law articles. The most prominent advantage was that it criminalized words and actions that fall under the heading of slander and defamation and protected the privacy of individuals. One of the prominent drawbacks of implementing the Jordanian Crimes Law was that the large financial penalties imposed by the law on violators of its provisions were ranked first, making journalists reluctant to publish materials and opinions related to corruption or other issues. The most prominent aspects that the law combats are inciting sectarian strife and spreading false news. The study recommended providing legal mechanisms and guarantees to protect journalists from prosecution for their work, as well as a periodic review of the law to ensure its compatibility with international standards for human rights, freedom of expression, and the pres

Numerical Analysis of Cold-Formed Built-Up Battened Steel Columns Under Eccentric Compressive Loading
Get PDFThis paper presents a 3D finite element model simulation using ABAQUS finite element software to investigate the behavior of steel battened beam columns under uniaxial loads. The columns consist of double-channel cold-formed slender open sections. The study highlighted the effects of various factors on the ultimate capacity of these beam-column members.
By considering both global and local imperfections, the model focuses on the structural strength and performance of battened cold-formed steel columns made from built-up sections. These cold-formed steel (CFS) columns have a slenderness ratio ranging from 50 to 162. Axial loads are applied at the pin-ended support of the column, which comprises two cold-formed steel open-channel sections positioned at varying center-to-center distances.
To validate the finite element models, their results were compared with relevant experimental data from the literature on similar geometries. The finite element analysis accounted for various factors, including different geometrical properties of column sections, slenderness ratios, nonlinear material properties of cold-formed steel sections, built-up section components, and initial geometric imperfections.
Finally, the analysis results were compared to the predicted ultimate strengths according to both the North American Specification and European codes EC3. The findings show that the strength of battened columns is strongly influenced by the interaction of several factors, including the back-to-back distance of the two channels, depth-to-width ratios, number of battened, and overall column slenderness ratios
Controlling Verticality of High-Rise Buildings Using GNSS Techniques Integrated with Laser Plummet
Get PDFMaintaining vertical alignment is crucial in the construction of high-rise buildings (HRBs). Traditionally, construction teams use laser plummets to transfer reference point coordinates from the foundation to each floor through openings in the concrete slabs. However, as building height increases, the accuracy of the laser beam can be affected, necessitating verification. In an urban development project in Al Alamein, Egypt, the use of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) was proposed to monitor verticality during construction. For the 270-meter-tall T-TOWER, nine monitoring points were established on the foundation to define the building’s axes for each slab. These points were transferred to subsequent floors using a laser plummet and verified with a static GNSS system. A geoid model and an Earth gravity field model were employed to align the GNSS-recorded coordinates with the laser plummet datum by calculating vertical deflections.Verticality monitoring for T-TOWER was conducted from the 6th to the 67th floor, at intervals of six floors. Results indicated that the deviation between GNSS and laser plummet coordinates was ±0.5 cm for the first 100 meters, increasing to ±2 cm at 270 meters. After correcting for vertical deflections, the deviation was reduced to less than ±1.9 cm. The static GNSS system proved effective for monitoring verticality in HRB construction, maintaining coordinate deviations within a few millimeters for heights up to 100 meters. For heights beyond 100 meters, correcting vertical deflections helps minimize deviations. The measurement deviations remained within the design requirements of ±3.0 cm for HRB structures up to 400 meters. This approach offers a more accurate and reliable method for monitoring vertical alignment, reducing structural errors in high-rise buildings, especially in modern urban projects like New Alamein Cit
