The Prospective Researches as Approach in Planning for Development in New Urban Communities

The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between Prospective Researches and planning for social, economic, environmental and health development in new urban communities. The study used a comprehensive social survey for the employees of the new city of Assiut Governorate, which has 300 employees. The researcher used 100 members of the study community to verify the validity and consistency of the tool used in the study. The study was conducted in the hope of studying the relationship between uses of prospective researches and planning for the development of new urban communities in Assiut Governorate. The study included the employees of the new city of Assiut, which has 300 employees. The selection of participants was based on comprehensive Social survey techniques. The data were collected in 2018. The researcher created a model with an introduction letter. He then asked all participants to fill out this letter with the title of study, nature, purpose and name of the participant. The data collection period lasted about 25 days. The results of the study indicate that a strong positive relationship expected between Prospective Researches and planning for social, economic, environmental and health

Finance, Financial Services, and Economics Growth How Does the Size of the Financial Sector and Different Types of Financial Services Impact Economic Growth?

This paper studies the relationship between finance, financial services, and economic growth. More particularly, this study attempts to answer the following two questions: What is the relationship between the size of the financial sector and economic growth? And how do different types of financial services impact economic growth? Understanding the dynamics between the financial sector and economic growth is extremely important from an intellectual as well as practical perspective. Intellectually speaking, it is safe to say that finance as a sector and financial services in general do not have a very good reputation in popular culture, especially in the post 2008 world. Hence, understanding the how finance impact economic growth will put the public opinion of finance to test. Practically speaking, understanding the relationship between finance and growth is extremely important from a public policy and regulatory perspective since finance has proven itself to be impactful and relevant after it sent the global economy into a the deepest recession in a century. If policy makers have insights on the relationship between finance and social wellbeing, they will be able to assess whether (1) this relationship is linearly positive or whether it diminishes at some point. If finance impacts society positively up to a point, policy makers will be able to create regulation that disincentives the size of the financial sector to grow beyond healthy levels. At the same time, if policy makers had insight on (B) which financial activities/services are more harmful to social welling than others, then they will be able to create an incentive system or a legal framework that encourages certain type of activities while limiting others

A distributed API for coordinating AbC programs

Collective adaptive systems exhibit a particular notion of interaction where environmental conditions largely influence interactions. Previously, we proposed a calculus, named AbC, to model and reason about CAS. The calculus proved to be effective by naturally modelling essential CAS features. However, the question on the tradeoff between its expressiveness and its efficiency, when implemented to program CAS applications, is to be answered. In this article, we propose an efficient and distributed coordination infrastructure for AbC. We prove its correctness, and we evaluate its performance. The main novelty of our approach is that AbC components are infrastructure agnostic. Thus the code of a component does not specify how messages are routed in the infrastructure but rather what properties a target component must satisfy. We also developed a Go API, named GoAt, and an Eclipse plugin to program in a high-level syntax which can be automatically used to generate matching Go code. We showcase our development through a non-trivial case study

The Impact of Business Strategy on Competitive Advantage and Performance of Small & Medium Enterprises in Jordan

Especially today, when business arenas are comparatively more challenging, demand for organizational excellence. As a result, business strategies are required to be effective and efficient enough to cope with these challenges.   Design/methodology/approach: For an empirical investigation, we randomly selected a sample of n= 300 employees currently working in Small and Medium Enterprises in Jordan. We also executed the Structural Equation Modelling technique to examine the extent to which, the data validates proposed relationships between study variables.   Findings: Results indicated a strong significant relationship between business strategy and vision & objectives (p≥ .000), core values (p≥ .000), SWOT analysis, and resource allocation plan (p≥ .000). Besides these factors, findings also showed a positive correlation with sustained competitive advantage (p≥ .000), and improved performance (p≥ .000).   Research, Practical & Social implications: By keeping in view the importance of business strategy, we suggest that an organization can achieve dynamic competitive advantages, only by effective business strategies that can help an organization to achieve its desired goals.   Originality/value: The findings suggest several consequences forth fields of business and   Performance of Small & Medium Enterprises.   Additionally, the   Middle   East   nations, including the Jordanian business environment, have had numerous challenge that this study   aids   in   resolving. through achieve competitive advantage and improved organizational performance
