The Methods of Measurement and Analysis of Risks in Businesses: A Case Study on the Jordan Valley Authority

This research attempted to shed light on the different measures used to evaluate risk. The research examines the Jordan Valley Authority’s risk measurements and explores the different procedures and techniques used to evaluate, or avoid (in some cases) risk. The research found that despite the existence of various quantitative methods to measure risk, the standard methodology used by Jordan Valley Authority is based on experience and intuition. Most managers, in this study relied heavily on the manager’s experience to handle risk. There are two ways to manage risk. The first is to avoid scenarios that could lead to a risky situation, causing the organization to divert from achieving its goals, and the second deals with reducing the effect of danger (or harm) caused by risk. Keywords: Risk measurement, risk assessment, Entrepreneurship, leadership, entrepreneurial dimension properties, and chances of survival

Peranan Reksadana Syariah dalam Peningkatkan Investasi di Indonesia

Reksadana Moslem law represent the medium of mixture invesment joining share and obligation Moslem law in one product which dikelolah by Invesment Manager. Existence Reksadana prove that capital market not merely just just nob people monopolies. Pass the reksadana, petitborgeois under even also can enjoy the advantage from the company share. Meagrely investor money can enjoy the advantage from share and other invesment instrument, and will more and more opportunity to society to participate. Problem of this research How arrangement of reksadana of Moslem law in Indonesia, forms of agreement execution (akad) in invesment mechanism the reksadana Moslem law,and How protection punish to investor in invesment the reksadana Moslem law. Method used in this writing thesis is research method punish the normatif. With the data collecting in book study (library Reseach). Writer use bibliography research / library reseach. In this case research punish by bibliography research or referred with the research normative. Pursuant to research result obtained that Arrangement of reksadana Moslem law in Indonesia, arrangement concerning this reksadana in positive law, both for conventional and also which is pursuant to Principle Moslem law is same that is arranged in No. 8 Year about Capital Market technical regulation and in the form of Governmental Regulation, Decree Of The Minister For Finance, and regulation by Bapepam and regulation by Effect Exchange as Self Organitation Rgulatory (SRO). Forms of agreement Execution (akad) in invesment mechanism [pass/through] the reksadana Moslem law, mechanism of invesment reksadana in fact loo like with the sharing holder invesment. All investor and invesment manager " idol" to the invesment into various invesment product needing big capital. Protection punish to investor in invesment [pass/through] the reksadana Moslem law, protection forms punish to investor which is there are in agreement, Regulation of Bapepam and fiduciary duty, relate to the duty of Invesment Manager in managing Reksa Fund for the sake of investo

Structural and Stratigraphic 3D Seismic Study of NahrUmr and Zubair Formations in Kifl oil field _ center of Iraq

This research is a reflection seismic study (structural and stratigraphic) of a 268.7 km2 area located in the central Iraq within the Karbala province (Kifl area). The study area was interpreted by using 3-D seismic data from Oil Exploration Company. Synthetic traces are prepared by using available data of the four wells (Kf-1), (Kf-2), (Kf-3) and (Kf-4), in order to define and piking the reflector on seismic section, These reflector are: (NahrUmr, Shuaiba, Zubair and Ratawi Formations) which are deposited during the lower cretaceous age. Faults were picked using instantaneous phase attribute of seismic section across 3D seismic volume of the studied reflectors. The study area affected by a major fault and minor normal faults, Two faults system has been observed in the study area; the major normal fault of (NW-SE) trending and minor normal faults of (NE-SW) trending, with a small displacement are influenced the studied reflectors. The time slices were studied across 3D seismic volume of the studied reflector, they proved the presence the structural anticline at lower cretaceous reflection level. Time, velocity and depth maps are prepared depending on the structural interpretation of the picked reflectors, the structural interpretation of these reflectors shows a structural anticline extending in NW-SE trend and plunges to the south east, and the general dip towards the east. Using seismic attribute techniques including (instantaneous frequency, RMS amplitude maps and reflection strength section), these attributes showed decreasing in frequency, amplitude and strength values. These reflect rocks of low velocity and indicate the presence of hydrocarbon accumulation area. The study of seismic facies of the picked reflectors distinction parallel seismic configuration. The results shows the Zubair and NahrUmrfacies are clastic depositional system deposited on delta platform, Zubair represents delta platform facies consisting of shallow- water, high-energy marine (delta sandstone, channel-fill sandstones).Pinch out are picked and interpreted by using cosine instantaneous phase attributes, these phenomena can be regarded as Pinch out stratigraphical traps. It's the main factor to explain the difference in thickness of the oil column between well Kf-4 and well Kf-1. Mound and Flat spot phenomenon has been observed within Zubair reflector by using the seismic composite attributes (Band bass filter on an instantaneousphase attributes, as mound stratigraphic traps and flat spot which is represent of Direct Hydrocarbon Indicators (DHI) that refers to the presence of hydrocarbons. Where the use of this techniques has helped to identify the (DHI) for hydrocarbon accumulation and have not been previously identified.Finally 3D seismic model for Kifl field show the extension of structural anticline and its plunge and the distribution of hydrocarbons accumulations in the Kifl field

Reducing the clique and chromatic number via edge contractions and vertex deletions

We consider the following problem: can a certain graph parameter of some given graph G be reduced by at least d, for some integer d, via at most k graph operations from some specified set S, for some given integer k? As graph parameters we take the chromatic number and the clique number. We let the set S consist of either an edge contraction or a vertex deletion. As all these problems are NP-complete for general graphs even if d is fixed, we restrict the input graph G to some special graph class. We continue a line of research that considers these problems for subclasses of perfect graphs, but our main results are full classifications, from a computational complexity point of view, for graph classes characterized by forbidding a single induced connected subgraph H
