    This thesis aims to study the effect of financial development, income, energy consumption, and trade openness on carbon emissions in Jordan during the period 1980 to 2011. The importance of analyzing the effect of these factors on CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions, also known as “greenhouse gases emissions”, stems from the underlying danger of these emissions. Recently, the negative effects of these emissions on climate change have become a hot topic around the world. More alarmingly, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP, 2014) has announced that global temperature has increased by two degrees Celsius, these changes might be irreversible. In order to reduce the effects of these emissions, they must be controlled to create a balance by the middle or the end of this century. This study attempts to identify some factors affecting the CO2 emissions, and the degree of the influence of each factor. This would help in identifying the maximum amount of carbon dioxide that can be emitted into the atmosphere, but in the accepted limits of temperature rise beyond 2020. Jordan was one of the first countries that took actions regarding the subject of the impact of carbon emissions. Jordan signed the climate change agreement in 1992, and ratified the Kyoto Protocol in 1997. Jordan’s second report on the climate change for 2000 mentioned that the total greenhouse gas emissions are equivalent to 20 million tons of carbon dioxide. The energy sector, which accounted to about 27% of these emissions, takes lead. It is closely followed by the transport sector which accounted to about 20%. The third most influential sector is the waste sector which accounted for about 13% of the emissions

    This study investigated the impact of each type of credit facilities to private sector on economic growth in Palestine, using quarterly time series data from 2008q1 up to 2015q2. It aimed to achieve several objectives, mainly analyzing the impact of each type of facilities on the GDP, explaining the historical development of banking sector in Palestine, observing how GDP and each sector's facilities change over the period of analysis, identify the role of Palestine Monetary Authority (PMA) in directing the banking facilities to increase the economic growth, and Suggesting some recommendations to the relevant parties to enhance the Palestinian economy. The descriptive analysis was used to describe and to show how each variable varies across time. The secondary data was collected from Palestine Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) concerning GDP, while the variables related to credit facilities were obtained from PMA. In order to achieve the previous objectives the data were analyzed using different statistical tests such as: Unit root test (ADF) to check whether the data are stationary or not, Co-integration test to examine whether there exist a long-run relationship among variables, and finally using VECM estimates to measure numerically the short and long run impact of each type of facilities on the GDP. The results showed that in the short run there is a positive significant relationship between consumption facilities and economic growth, while this relationship doesn’t exist between any other type of credit facilities and economic growth. In the long run the results showed that the banking facilities for real estate and constructions (RCF), mining and manufacturing (MMF) and other facilities in private sector (OTHS) has a positive significant effect on GDP, in other words, the increase in each type of these facilities will result in increase of GDP. On the other hand, local and foreign trade facilities (LFTF), business and consumer service facilities (BCSF) has a negative significant effect on GDP, that is, an increase in such facilities may result in a reduction of GDP. The above results had implication for the economic growth in Palestine. More attention might be paid to raise the banking credits to the productive sectors specially mining and manufacturing, real estate and construction, agricultural activities, land development, tourism, hotel and restaurants, and securities purchasing activities. By supporting these sectors, they will be able to produce intermediate goods which can be used as alternative for foreign imports, and as a result reduce the trade balance deficit

    The main objectives of this study are to identify and explore the intentions for women entrepreneurs in Palestine to start and run their own businesses, the characteristics of women entrepreneurs, the key success factors to women entrepreneurs, business sustainability, the relatedness of intentions to business sustainability, and the main barriers facing women entrepreneurs and how they overcome these barriers. The primary data are collected using semi-structured interviews with a selective sample of 21 women entrepreneurs in Palestine. Content analysis is adopted to analyze the collected data. The results showed that there are multiple intentions that encourage women to start and run their own businesses in Palestine. However, these intentions vary in terms of their importance. The top five intentions are the psychological motivation, the need to generate income and job security, independence, freedom, and being own boss, contributing something to society, and the desire to work. In addition, the results showed that the most two important characteristics of women entrepreneurs are ambition and determination. Other important characteristics include willingness to advance, optimism, willingness to work, willingness to learn, patience, and creativity. Moreover, the results showed that the top six critical success factors of women entrepreneurs in Palestine are hard work, business skills, support from family and friends, education, experience, and training, marketing factor, and good product at competitive price. The results also revealed that making profit is rated as the most common indicator of women business sustainability followed by enlarging the customer base and then being famous in the field of business. Regarding the relatedness of intentions to start businesses to business sustainability, the results indicated that intentions to start their businesses are directly associated with the sustainability of their businesses. This is due to the fact that these intentions are the driving force to start their businesses. As long as they exist, they will do their best to enhance critical success factors which in turn lead to sustainability of their businesses. Finally, the study revealed that the most critical barriers facing women entrepreneurs in Palestine are lack of government support, marketing, competition, and raw material. The study recommends, among other things, incorporating women's entrepreneurial dimension in the formation of all SME - related policies, increasing the participation of Palestinian women in the labor force, improving the position of Palestinian women in society to promote women’s entrepreneurship, promoting women businesses by creating favorable environment and policies

    PAGEL,HOLGER: ENOWASHU,ESTHER: DEVERS,MARION: MARTIN LAURENT,FABRICE:Environmental controls of 2-methyl-4- chlorophenoxyacetic acid (MCPA) degradation are poorly understood. We investigated whether microbial MCPA degraders are stimulated by (maize) litter and whether this process depends on concentrations of MCPA and litter. In a microcosm experiment, different amounts of litter (0, 10 and 20 g kg−1 ) were added to soils exposed to three levels of the herbicide (0, 5 and 30 mg kg−1 ). The treated soils were incubated at 20 °C for 6 weeks, and samples were taken after 1, 3 and 6 weeks of incubation. In soils with 5 mg kg−1 MCPA, about 50 % of the MCPAwas dissipated within 1 week of the incubation. Almost complete dissipation of the herbicide had occurred by the end of the incubation with no differences between the three litter amendments. At the higher concentration (30 mg kg−1 ), MCPA endured longer in the soil, with only 31 % of the initial amount being removed at the end of the experiment in the absence of litter. Litter addition greatly increased the dissipation rate with 70 and 80 % of the herbicide being dissipated in the 10 and 20 g kg−1 litter treatments, respectively. Signs of toxic effects of MCPA on soil bacteria were observed from related phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analyses, while fungi showed higher tolerance to the increased MCPA levels. The abundance of bacterial tfdA genes in soil increased with the co-occurrence of litter and high MCPA concentration, indicating the importance of substrate availability in fostering MCPA-degrading bacteria and thereby improving the potential for removal of MCPA in the environment

    The English Language Teaching Situation in Palestine

    No full text
    The modern-day areas of Palestine corresponding to the West Bank including East Jerusalem and the Gaza strip represent some interesting and dynamic sociolinguistic realities. First, although these are areas in which colloquial Arabic has traditionally been spoken by a majority of the population, several other languages have been in use in educational domains especially Classical Arabic, Turkish, and French among Christians. However, the British Mandate period saw the establishment of English as an important language of political, economic, and cultural power within Palestine. Yet with the establishment of the State of Israel in areas that were once part of British Mandate Palestine, a new language was introduced to the area, Modern Israeli Hebrew. Still, English has endured, partly as a colonial leftover, but also increasingly as a window onto the world for Palestinians. The present chapter explores the enduring yet changing role that English has played and continues to play in the educational system of Palestine. The chapter concludes with evaluations of current English teaching and educational policy in Palestine and provides suggestions for enhancing this policy in order to promote economic development and growth while maintaining cultural authenticity
