The Role of Financial Sector on Economic Growth: Theoretical and Empirical Literature Reviews Analysis
No full textThis article reviews literatures on effect of financial development on economic growth. The samples of literatures
from different time frames were taken into consideration to ensure the mixture of ideas and results. The results,
implications and discussion were presented at each category. It seems that, the effect of financial development on
economic growth is subject to selection of time frames selected, sample of countries, list of variables and proxy.
However, in most cases it seems that the impact of financial sector is more significant and positive to the developing
countries compared to developed countries. Given the recently development of methodologies in terms of
econometrics methods and use of proxy such as Financial index, it is important to apply in the future research. This
will help to determine the effect of financial sector on economic growth in more advanced way, rather than relies on
past proxy and methodologies
واقع المشهد اللغوي في فلسطين ومحاولات التهويد والعبرنة
No full textThis research deals with the linguistic conflict between the Arabic language and the Hebrew language in occupied Palestine, and the worrying state of Arabic. Although Arabic is a second official language under the law, Israel is working to remove it from various areas of life and to replace it in Hebrew One of the pillars of the Zionist project to ensure the survival of their state is alleged through the soft padded Judaization. This study is to highlight the need to preserve the Arabic language as part of the preservation of the Palestinian presence, to learn the linguistic history of the Hebrew language, to clarify the linguistic scene in Palestine, and the location of the Arabic language between the fierce Zionist attacks and an attempt to transcribe it as part of the plans of the Zionist entity to eliminate the existence Palestinian conflict. The aim of this research is to: 1. To alert the importance of the Arabic language in preserving the Arab identity and the historical memory and the Palestinian narrative. 2. The location of both Arabic and Hebrew in the old Palestinian history. 3. Clarifying the relationship between the establishment of the Zionist entity and the revival of the Hebrew language. 4. Attempt to Judaize the language of the Palestinian inside. The research followed the historical approach, which was used in the first topic; to mention historical profiles of the land of Palestine, the history of the Jews and their Hebrew language, and the descriptive approach to collecting, describing and interpreting the basic scientific material
Upshot of generation 'Z' entrepreneurs' E-Lifestyle on Bangadeshi SME performance in the digital era
No full textPast literatures on generation Z's e-lifestyle assumes that it is imperative as well as desirable for SME performance in the digital era to be able to stay competitive in the global business. Though much has been written about the need for SME performance improvement but not sufficient progress has been made to ascertain the upshot of generation Z entrepreneurs' e-lifestyle on the SME performance in digital era. Hence, the purpose of this study is to explore the upshot of generation Z entrepreneurs' e-lifestyle on Bangladeshi SME performance. In order to do so, a structured survey was conducted to collect opinions of 180 generation Z SME owners in Bangladesh. The data is analyzed and hypothesis is tested by using IBM-SPSS-AMOS package 25.0. The study found that the direct effect of generation Z entrepreneurs' e-lifestyle on SME performance is positive and significant ((3=.961, P=.001). The originality of the manuscript goes back to studying the concept in an emerging country, i.e. Bangladesh. Based on the result, this research recommended that, there is an undeniable need to be more formal about e-lifestyle of generation Z entrepreneurs and which will ensure better SME performance in line with consistent growth of Bangladeshi GDP in the current digital era
Computational Characterization of the Promoter Region of SMN2 (Survival of Motor Neuron) Gene
No full textSMN (Survival of Motor Neuron) has two isotypes; SMN1 and SMN2 encoding for FL-SMN protein (functional SMN) and Δ7SMN protein (non functional). The lack of SMN1 produce spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and the increasing gene dosage of SMN2 have been shown to decrease the severity of the SMA. The core promoter region of the SMN genes is still not identified but previous literature have shown these genes to be regulated by a 4.6 kb region up stream of the transcription start site (TSS). There was a need of computational analysis of this region as the presence of important features can help to develop a strategy for gene therapy against spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). In this analysis, the open reading frames, Pribnow box sequences, restriction sites and the transcriptional factor binding sites were identified. Important restriction sites were determined with in 15 open reading frames. Total of 15 ORFs and 24 nested ORFs were determined with 7 and 11 ORFs on the complementary strand. These ORFs contained 15 TATA box sequences reflecting the diverse function integrity of SMN promoter region. The whole data was used for the prediction of the promoter region of the SMN. Up to the best of our knowledge this is the first reported study in the literature reflecting the computational analysis of the ~4.6 kb expected promoter region of the SMN genes towards analyzing the core promoter region of the SMN genes in the future studies

This study was to compare land cover changes at Tembila mangrove forest and Pasir Akar farm within 10 years. This study also use another tool to determine land cover which is Google Earth Pro for providing data in 2007, 2012 and 2017. The data collected from the drone and was being analysed using Pix4d Mapper Pro and Drone Deploy in order to obtain the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), orthomosaic image and elevation. The results show that there are changes in land cover at Tembila mangrove forest and Pasir Akar farm. The total area of Pasir Akar farm is 0.27 km2 meanwhile for Tembila mangrove forest is 0.86 km2. For Pasir Akar farm, the changes from 2007 until 2017 is 98.84 % meanwhile for Tembila mangrove forest is 59.30 %. This land cover changes happened in Pasir Akar farm due to agricultural and livestock activity meanwhile in Tembila mangrove forest due to aquaculture and palm oil planta-tion
Application of GCMS and FTIR Fingerprinting in Discriminating Two Species of Malaysian Stingless Bees Propolis
No full textPropolis is a sticky substance made up of mixture of plant resin, wax and bee saliva. Propolis has been used in various health related problems as well as cosmetic ingredient. This work was evaluating chemical fingerprint of Malaysian stingless bee propolis produced by two species, Heterotrigona itama (HI) and Geniotrigona thoracica (GT). Chemical fingerprint derived from fingerprint region (FR) of ATR-FTIR dataset of two types of extract, methanol (MHI, MGT) and ethanol (EHI, EGT). Principal component analysis and hierarchi-cal cluster analysis was employed to discriminate the two species. The total variances account for FR was 95.63 % (PC1 = 54.01 %, PC2 = 41.61 %). EHI and EGT clustered closely between them and separately from MHI and MGT. HCA conform the grouping by PCA. GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of 20 different phytochemicals in methanol, while ethanol extract shown only 17 different phyto-chemicals of GT propolis. Meanwhile, 24 different phytochemicals were identified in methanol extract and 13 compounds presence in ethanol extract from propolis samples collected by HI species. Based on the good separation observed in both spectroscopic and chroma-tographic data, it seems reasonable to use chemical fingerprint coupled with chemometric analysis to differentiate two different species of stingless bee propolis. The findings from this study can be used as identification, classification and quality control methods for the profiling of propoli

Flood Risk Pattern Recognition Analysis in Klang River Basin
No full textThis study was implemented to identify the specific factors that lead to major contribution of floods in Klang River Basin. A thirtyyear
(1987-2017) database obtained from Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID), the selected data was analyzed by using integrated
Chemometric techniques. The finding from Correlation Analysis revealed strong correlation between stream flow and water
level is more than 0.5 (= 0.799). The finding from Principal Component Analysis proved that the selected parameters were significant
with the result of R2 > 0.7 was applied as a main tool for further analysis. Based on the result, it revealed that stream flow and water
level were the most significant hydrological factor that influenced flood risk pattern in Klang River basin. Based on the result from
Statistical Process control (SPC), the finding showed that the Upper Control Limit (UCL) for water level was 30.290m. The plotted
data which is more than 30.290 m can cause flood to occur in Klang River Basin. Thus, it is very important to continuously monitor
and maintain the mitigation measure of flood in the study area to avoid flood to occur. This study also helps to provide visualization
of flood pattern and show the optimal rates for the maximum limit for flood control in Klang River Basin
The Impact of Service Quality, Subjective Norms, and Voluntariness on Acceptance of Provider's Mobile Telecommunication Service in Jordan
No full textTechnology has made life easier in today’s world. In addition, developments in technologies and communication have become commonplace
for majority of people. Global telecommunication development has reduced distances around the globe, and made it easy for businesses
to proliferate worldwide. This study explored the factors affecting the use of telecommunication services among customers
through mobile phones. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) has been extensively used in the field of technology use but is lacking
when it comes to factors that affect customers’ intention to use service as they focus more on technology. On the basis of review
findings, there is a positive relationship between service quality, subjective norms, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of
service and voluntariness moderates the relationship between subjective norms and intention to use service. These and other relationships
are considered in the development of a Service Acceptance Model
