  • Secondary School Effectiveness: an Empirical Study in the Country of Bahrain
    Secondary school effectiveness: An empirical study in the country of Bahrain By Tahani Hasan Ali Maki A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Brunel Business School Brunel University London August 2017 Abstract Bahrain is a developed country that faces different economic and political challenges. Economically, Bahrain depends mostly on oil. However, there are some attempts to diversify its economy. Bahrain has established several economic projects to boost its economy including Bahrainization (Nationalization), Tamkeen (Labour fund), the Bahrain Business Incubator center, the banking sector, transport and communication, manufacturing and education. The Ministry of Education has established various educational projects to accommodate Bahrain Vision 2030, which aims to diversify the economy of Bahrain, building strategies of government and encouragement of a partnership between the private and public sector and the provision of an effective education system based on well trained teachers, enhancing the performance of public schools, provision of equal education opportunities for all students and improving and encouraging scientific education. This study investigates the different measures of secondary school effectiveness in Bahrain as a result of the new development of the education system in Bahrain including both teaching and improvement programs. These were initiated by the Ministry of Education in Bahrain and educational specialists. The literature reviews showed that secondary school effectiveness has been examined using specific factors – students’ performance, teachers’ performance, leadership. However, other factors such as leader-member exchange, value congruence, supportive supervisor communication and task performance have not been investigated well in the education sector and at the secondary school level in particular. The aim of this research is to investigate the impact of leader-member exchange, value congruence, supportive supervisor communication and task performance on secondary school effectiveness in Bahrain.

  • On the Bat Fauna of the Bahrain Archipelago (Chiroptera) K Fauně Netopýrů Souostroví Bahrajnského (Chiroptera)
    Lynx, n. s. (Praha), 50: 5–27 (2019). ISSN 0024-7774 (print), 1804-6460 (online) On the bat fauna of the Bahrain Archipelago (Chiroptera) K fauně netopýrů Souostroví bahrajnského (Chiroptera) Petr BENDA1,2 & Marcel UHRIN3 1 Department of Zoology, National Museum (Natural History), Václavské nám. 68, CZ–115 79 Praha 1, Czech Republic; [email protected] 2 Department of Zoology, Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague, Viničná 7, CZ–128 44 Praha 2, Czech Republic 3 Department of Zoology, Institute of Biology and Ecology, P. J. Šafárik University, Moyzesova 11, SK–040 01 Košice, Slovakia received on 12 December 2019 Abstract. Only thirteen records of four bat species belonging to three families have been known from the Bahrain Archipelago until now, Asellia tridens, Taphozous nudiventris, Pipistrellus kuhlii, and Vansonia rueppellii. Here the results of a short-time systematic survey of bats in Bahrain are presented. During an acoustic survey (15 bat detector sessions, ca. 190 km of car transects, ca. 17 hours of recordings in total), 456 bat call sequences were recorded that contained 12,051 particular bat call pulses. A majority of the recorded calls was represented by the calls of Pipistrellus kuhlii (96.1%), followed by Rhyneptesicus na­ sutus (3.5%), Otonycteris hemprichii (0.06%), and Taphozous nudiventris (0.01%). Combining the new and published data, 63 records (species / site) of five bat species are currently available from the King- dom of Bahrain. While the occurrence of two species was confirmed (Taphozous nudiventris – 3 records, Pipistrellus kuhlii – 46 records), two species were discovered newly in Bahrain (Otonycteris hemprichii – 1 record, Rhyneptesicus nasutus – 8 records), one species was not recorded by the recent survey although certainly present (Asellia tridens – 5 records), and one species was suggested to be deleted from the faunal list of the country (Vansonia rueppellii).
