  • Land Transport Safety
    - PART II - Outline of the Plan CHAPTER 1 Land Transport Safety Section 1 Road Transport Safety 1 Improvement of Road Traffic Environment To address the changes in the social situation such as the problem of a low birthrate and an aging population, there is a need to reform the traffic community to prevent accidents of children and ensure that the senior citizens can go out safely without fear. In view of this, people-first roadway improvements are being undertaken by ensuring walking spaces offering safety and security by building sidewalks on roads such as the school routes, residential roads and urban arterial roads etc. In addition to the above mentioned measures, the road traffic environment improvement project is systematically carried out to maintain a safe road traffic network by separating it into arterial high-standard highways and regional roads to control the inflow of the traffic into the residential roads. Also, on the roads where traffic safety has to be secured, traffic safety facilities such as sidewalks are being provided. Thus, by effective traffic control promotion and detailed accident prevention measures, a safe traffic environment with a speed limit on the vehicles and separation of different traffic types such as cars, bikes and pedestrians is to be created. 1 Improvement of people-first walking spaces offering safety and security (promoting building of sidewalks in the school routes) 2 Improvement of road networks and promoting the use of roads with high specifications 3 Implementation of intensive traffic safety measures in sections with a high rate of accidents 4 Effective traffic control promotion 5 Improving the road traffic environment in unison with the local residents 6 Promotion of accident prevention measures on National Expressways etc.

The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party.

Statement of use of third party for editorial help I confirm that parts of my thesis were copy edited for conventions of language, spelling and grammar by Naira Antoun. 2 Abstract This study explores the popular politics behind the main milestones that shape Nasserist Egypt. The decade leading up to the 1952 revolution was one characterized with a heightened state of popular mobilisation, much of which the Free Officers’ movement capitalized upon. Thus, in focusing on three of the Revolution’s main milestones; the resistance to the tripartite aggression on Port Said (1956), the building of the Aswan High Dam (1960- 1971), and the popular warfare against Israel in Suez (1967-1973), I shed light on the popular struggles behind the events.

    Ministry of Tourism and Issue: 5 May Antiquities Newsletter 2020 Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities 78 Hotels in Egypt Receive the Hygiene Safety Certificate In May, 78 hotels in various governorates of Egypt, including the Red Sea, South Sinai, Alexandria, Suez, Greater Cairo, and Matrouh, received the Hygiene Safety Certificate, approved by the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, the Ministry of Health and Population, and the Egyptian Hotel Association. This ensures that they fulfil all health and safety regulations required by the Egyptian Cabinet according to World Health Organization guidelines. The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities has approved a Hygiene Safety Sign, that must be visible in all hotels as a prerequisite for them to receive guests. This sign shows the sun, characteristic of Egypt’s warm weather and its open-air spaces, encompassing three hieroglyphs "Ankh, Udja, Seneb" meaning Life, Prosperity and Health. The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities has formed operations centres in its offices in tourist governorates to inspect hotels that acquired the Hygiene Safety Certificate, to ensure their continued commitment and application of the regulations. The Ministry also formed joint committees to inspect hotels in cooperation with the Ministry of Health and Population, the Egyptian Hotel Association, and representatives from the concerned governorates. In the same context, the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities posted a video in both Arabic and English, highlighting the most important information about the Health and Safety regulations. Former Minister of Antiquities, Dr. Zahi Hawass posted a video to the world explaining the Hygiene Safety Sign that must be available in all hotels.

Attiah Atomic Energy Centre Zenhom E. Salem Tanta University Faculty of Science Dorya I. Essa Tanta University Faculty of Science Research Article Keywords: Phytoplankton, Palmer’s index, Environmental parameters, Pollution, El-Temsah Lake Posted Date: March 23rd, 2021 DOI: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-305271/v1 License: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Read Full License Page 1/16 Abstract Relative effects of spatio-seasonal variations on the quantitative and qualitative status of phytoplankton in 20 sampling locations of Temsah Lake were examined during winter and summer 2018. The study reveals that the population structure consisted of 105 species from 69 genera, with an annual average of 924155 cell/L. Bacillariophyceae formed the most dominant group with 42.45% of total phytoplankton with an average of 372379 cell/L. Navicula creptocephala was the most abundant species representing 19.16% of total diatoms and 7.78% of the whole standing crop with an annual average of 376879 cell/L. The highest phytoplankton abundance was in the Northern locations. Phytoplankton density showed a negative correlation of pH, temperature and TDS and positively correlated with nutrient content such as nitrate and silicate. In general, summer showed high indices value compared to winter and the diversity index in the current study ranged in moderate pollution range. The polluted state of the aquatic ecosystem in El-Temsah Lake during summer is comparatively higher than winter during the study period.
