  • Newsletter MPL October 2008
    Newsletter Editor: S. McInnes october 08 Issue No. 7 LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN Initially as a young organization, we had doubts if it was too premature to arrange. Once the decision was made it was “batten down the hatches and full sails ahead”. Naturally the venue was of the utmost concern. After deliberation we decided on Thailand. Easily accessible and cost affective for many of our members. Then as an added incentive, we avoided the bustle and noise of Bangkok, and chose the nearest beach resort, so that guests, if they so wished, could extend a business meeting into a vacation - and several did. We sought a hotel that could accommodate 50 residents, with a Conference room and banqueting facilities. Tim Boutique Hotel , located in Pattaya, was central to the town, and located only 5 minutes from the Beach. The accommodation was attractive, and the two evening events of pre-drinks and Buffet/BBQ Dear Friends, dinners, were on the roof top around the Swimming Pool. MPL Newsletter.

Since mid 1950s, over 30% of Lake Idku was dried to create new agricultural lands. The project was extended in 1960s to include areas west of the delta and south of the new/old reclaimed lands. The first study concerning the quality of soil within the study area, south of Lake Idku, was conducted in 1960 and since then, no updates were undertaken to evaluate the effect of the ongoing agricultural/human activities and land use upon the quality of these reclaimed soils. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the change in soil quality in the area relative to the availed analytical data, chemical composition of irrigation water used and crops cultivated during the fall (2010/2011). The impact of different land uses and activities upon the soil quality in the study area, South of Lake Idku, was determined using multivariate analysis (Hierarchal Clustering) in order to identify similarity in patterns and classifying relationships among the measured soil variables.

  • Seismic Hazard Evaluation of Regular and Vertical Irregular R.C. Buildings in EGYPT, for Different Ground Motion Characteristics
    Seismic Hazard Evaluation of Regular and Vertical Irregular R.C. Buildings in EGYPT, for Different Ground Motion Characteristics M. M. ELASSALY Fayoum University, Egypt SUMMARY: The implementation of seismic regulation in the design process of R.C. buildings, in Egypt, is rather a new procedure. The seismic risk awareness started following the destructive earthquake that hit Cairo in 1992. The accumulated experience in the construction field, regarding the structural seismic hazard and the corresponding damage, is rather limited. Accordingly, the existing building stock in Egypt is considered highly vulnerable. The seismic performance of regular and vertical irregular R.C. building are assessed for different earthquakes, having various intensities and frequency contents. The model of the vertical irregular R.C. building, investigated herein, represents the most common type of irregular buildings, employed in Egyptian building environment; this type of buildings is distinguished with its varying first floor height. The seismic hazard evaluation is carried out through exploring damage indices, drift ratios and capacity curves of model buildings. Nonlinear dynamic analyses are performed on 2-dimensional model of R.C. building. Keywords: Seismic hazard - vertical irregularity - ground motion characteristics - damage indices - drift ratios. 1. INTRODUCTION In countries of low to moderate seismic activities such as Egypt, earthquakes are considered infrequent phenomenon. The occurrence of an earthquake may caught the Egyptian people and the governmental authorities unprepared. Prior to the 1992 Cairo earthquake, there were no specific articles, designated for the seismic design of R.C. buildings, in the Egyptian standards. Following that event, the Ministry of Housing, had enforced the implementation of seismic regulation in the design process of R.C.

  • I the American University in Cairo from Text to Screenplay Gendering
    The American University in Cairo From Text to Screenplay Gendering the Nation in Mariam Naoum’s Literary Adaptations A Thesis Submitted to The Department of Arab and Islamic Civilizations In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts By May Nizar Serhan Under the supervision of Dr. Samia Mehrez September 2017 i Acknowledgments To my dear friend and teacher, Dr. Samia Mehrez. Thank you for always pushing me beyond the limits I set for myself, for all the opportunities you have given me, and for your unwavering support; All the love, gratitude and respect. To my sister Nermin Serhan for setting me on this path, way back when I had a love for literature and did not really know what to do with it. To my husband Wael Omar, thank you for your patience. It has been taxing with two children born during this process. I could not have done it without you. Finally, to the most amazing kids, Zein and Nadia. You might be too young to understand now, but you have provided me with the strongest impetus and a relentless drive to complete what I set out to do. May it shine before you as a reminder to always be curious, passionate, and dedicated to the things you love. ii ABSTRACT Mariam Naoum’s literary adaptations to television in the aftermath of the 2011 Egyptian uprising have carried wide cultural, political and literary implications, especially where the “woman question” is concerned. With Islamism and militarism both threatening to exclude a wide sector of women from the historical narrative of the uprising and the subsequent nation-building process, and with a male-dominated literary establishment that systematically relegates women to secondary roles, Naoum’s writing re-affirmed gendered agency both on the level of social engagement and authorship.

  • A Summary of Key Investment Opportunities in Kenya
    A Summary of Key Investment Opportunities in Kenya THE NATIONAL TREASURY AND PLANNING STATE DEPARTMENT FOR PLANNING P.O.BOX 30005-00100 NAIROBI, KENYA TEL: +254-20-252299 Email: [email protected] Website: www.planning.go.ke ©Government of the Republic of Kenya, October 2020 FOREWORD The Third Medium Term Plan 2018-2022 of Kenya Vision 2030 outlines policies, programmes and projects as well as legal and institutional reforms to be implemented during the period. It incorporates the “Big Four” agenda and programmes and projects aimed at achieving the Africa Agenda 2063 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The programmes and projects in the MTP III provide various investment opportunities for both local and foreign investors. Increased trade and investment opportunities in the country will be critical towards implementation of the government’s “Big Four” agenda. This will play a major role in addressing the underlying challenges such as unemployment, poverty and lack of income-generating opportunities especially among youth and women. We believe that the private sector and Development Partners, in collaboration with the Government and the Kenyan people, will be key in achieving the country’s transformative agenda. The Government has put in place several key legislations to support investment as well as strengthen local capacities toward realization of inclusive growth. The Public Private Partnership Act, 2013 provides for an institutional framework for implementation of public-private agreements. In addition, the Special Economic Zones Act, 2015 provides framework for promoting industrial development in the country. More importantly, the 47 county governments have put in place legislations to promote investment in all sectors at county level.
