    Get PDF
    The states practice their International relations through specialized departments implemented by a group of people who enjoy specific features and can implement their tasks appropriately. Those people are called diplomats. The diplomatic mission is considered as one of the well-known professions through history and its roots go back to the Roman times. In this regard, the implementation of diplomatic missions and representing the state within other countries and international organizations require that a diplomat shall have specific features, such as personal, ethical and integrity. On the other hand, the diplomatic character is one of the pre-requisites of the international law, as it protects the interests of a state abroad. We will discuss the term of diplomat, its concept, the persons who have this character and the requirements that should be possessed by a diplomat, ranks of diplomats who work in diplomatic missions abroad and those who protect the interests of the state. The research ends with a conclusion with the most important results and recommendations. Keyword: International relations, diplomatic, missions, organizations&gt

    Objective: to examine the effects of work on health and pyschosocial status among boys aged 10-16 years in Jordan. Study design: This is a comparative cross-sectional study, comparing working and non-working with respect to health and psycho-social outcomes, taking account of confounding due socio-economical factors. Results. Bivariate analysis showed that child's work was a strong significant predictor for eight z score, height z score, PCV, morbidity, skinfold thickness percentile and PEFR. This significant effect persisted in the full regression models after controlling for socio-economic and smoking status. Working children had significant lower weight z score (B=-0.31), height z score (B=-0.51), PCV (B=-2.96), skinfold thickness percentile (B=-6.85) compared to non-working subjects. Pyschosocial score tended to be reduced by 13 points (better pyschosocial status) when the child was non-working (B=-12.7). The significant negative relationship between work and PEFR in the bivariate model disappeared in the full regression model. In multiple regression modelling work status explained 3% of the 6.5% of variance explained in the weight z-score model, 6.7% of 9.8% for height z-score, 12.5% of 14.9% for PCV, 15% of 21% for skinfold thickness, 115 of 24% for PEFR, 9.4% of 30.9% for morbidity and 46% of 50% for pyschosocial status. Mean height and weight z-scores and packed cell volume among working children were significantly lower than those of their siblings; 5% and 9.6% of working children respectively were wasted and stunted (z score<-2 SD) compared to none of the siblings. No statistically significant correlation was also found between weight z-scores, height z-scores, packed cell volume and skinfold thickness of siblings and the proportion of household income contributed by the working child. Duration of work, child's monthly income, household per capita income and maternal height, were significant predictors of the growth of working children expressed by weight and height z score

    Factors impacting social media users' information behavior: The concept of social noise

    Get PDF
    Social media communication involves the discussion and sharing of information in an environment subject to the influence of online relationships and perceived expectations of those in the social network. The ability to filter the resulting noise depends largely on our understanding of Social Noise and its underlying constructs. We introduce the concept of Social Noise and investigate methods of identifying it using a quantitative, data analytics approach. Understanding this phenomenon has taken on increasing importance as it can influence attitudes and behavior surrounding social issues, political campaigns, and other core areas of society. Results from the topic modeling and data clustering techniques represent part of ongoing research into Social Noise and general keywords and combinations of keywords related to its underlying constructs
