Dean ________________________________ Dr. John Kelly Date Defended: May 28, 2013 The Dissertation Committee for Jasem Bader Theyab certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: The Genetic Structure of the Kuwaiti and Failaka Island Populations: Y-chromosome & Mitochondrial DNA Variation ________________________________ Chairperson, Dr. Michael H. Crawford Date approved: May 31, 2013 ii Abstract Recent studies applying multidisciplinary approaches suggest that the Anatomically Modern Homo sapiens (AMHS) passed through the Arabian Peninsula in their major diaspora out of Africa. The Arabian Peninsula is connected to three continents: Africa, Asia, and Europe. In addition to the major diaspora, the Arabian Peninsula has witnessed numerous migrations among the three continents. The populations of the Arabian Peninsula have been investigated to better understand their evolutionary history. This dissertation investigated the paternal genetic structure of the Kuwaiti and Failaka Island populations using 15 loci Y-STR data. In addition, the maternal genetic structure of Failaka Island has been investigated using mtDNA HVS-I sequence data. This is the first genetic study to characterize Failaka Island population. The result showed that the Kuwaiti population has a high frequency of Y- haplogroup J1 (37%) similar to other Arabian populations.

  • Sport Development in Kuwait: Perception of Stakeholders On
    SPORT DEVELOPMENT IN KUWAIT: PERCEPTION OF STAKEHOLDERS ON THE SIGNIFICANCE AND DELIVERY OF SPORT DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School at The Ohio State University By Badi Aldousari, M.A. * * * * * 2004 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. Packianathan Chelladurai, Advisor Dr. Donna Pastore __________________________ Advisor Dr. Janet Fink College of Education ABSTRACT The current study analyzed the perceptions of 402 stakeholders of Kuwaiti sport regarding the importance of three domains of sport (i.e., mass sport, elite sport, and commercial sport), and the relative emphases to be placed on each of these domains. The respondents were also asked to indicate the organizational forms (public, nonprofit, profit, public-nonprofit combine, and public-profit combine) best suited to deliver related sport services in the country. The stakeholder groups were administrators of federations (n = 57), administrators of clubs (n = 80), administrators of youth centers (n = 50), coaches of clubs (n = 78), coaches of youth centers (n = 57), and elite athletes (n = 70). The gender distribution of the respondents was 355 males and 47 females. They ranged in age from 19 years to 70 years for a mean of 39 years. The statistical procedures included exploratory principal component analysis, computation of Cronbach’s alpha, multivariate analyses of variance (MANOVA) followed by univariate analyses (ANOVA), and chi square analyses. The results provided support for the subscale structure of survey instrument modified from Cuellar (2003). Further analyses indicated that the six groups were almost unanimous in considering elite sport as more critical than the other two domains of sport.

  • Assessment of Organotin Compounds in Coastal Sediments of Kuwait
    Vol. 2 (2): 130-145, 2018 Assessment of Organotin Compounds in Coastal Sediments of Kuwait Amal J. Alkandari1*, Thamer S. Ali2 & Talat Saeed3 1Ministry of Public Health, Kuwait 2Department of Natural Resources and Environment, College of Graduate Studies, Arabian Gulf University, Bahrain 3Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research, Kuwait *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: The present study provides a baseline on organotin levels in sediments throughout the Kuwaiti marine environment. The study was designed to detect the organotin compounds including butyltin represented by mono (MBT), di (DBT), tri (TBT), tetra (TeBT) and total tin in surface and core sediments. A total of 76 grab and 19 core sediment samples were collected from 19 locations in the northern coast, Kuwait bay and around islands. The results revealed that only TBT compound has been detected in surface sediment samples at four locations; Rumaila shipwreck, Mubarak port, Failaka island and Shuwaikh port with an average of 0.991, 0.622, 0.736 and 1.242 µg/g, respectively. All levels were found to be exceeding the standards adopted by both EAC and EQS. However, no levels were detected in core samples neither for TBT nor for other organotin compounds. There are many sunken vessels in the NW Arabian Gulf just close to the borders with adjacent countries since the Iraq-Iran war during 1980-1988 in additions to others sunk during the Gulf war in 1991 and Iraq invasion in 2003. These vessels represent a potential source of TBT leakage from their paints driven by current regime in the area toward the Kuwaiti waters, in addition to dry-docks activities in the ports at neighbour countries.

This campaign is a partnership between the Human Line Organization and the Social Work Society in collaboration with the Ministry of Interior and other international organizations. “One Roof” Campaign works toward building a positive relationship between the employer and domestic worker that is governed by justice and serves to protect the rights and dignity of both parties. The campaign aims to raise awareness about domestic workers’ rights as stated in Kuwaiti laws to reduce conflict and problems that may arise due to the lack of awareness of laws that regulate the work of domestic workers in Kuwait. “One Roof” also seeks to emphasize that domestic work is an occupation that should be regulated by laws and procedures. About the Legal Guide While the relationship between the employer and domestic worker in Kuwait is successful and effective in most cases, it is still important for domestic workers to be knowledgeable of their legal rights and responsibilities in order to be familiar with the rules that regulate their work and be able to demand their rights in case they were violated.

Popular Rentierism and Tourism Development in Kuwait Cody Morris Paris School of Law Middlesex University Dubai and Simon Rubin Freelance Tourism Researcher ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to explore the challenges facing tourism development in Kuwait due to the particularly unique political-economic system of ‘popular’ rentierism. Kuwait’s tourism industry is relatively underdeveloped in comparison to other GCC countries and has not received much attention in the academic tourism literature. While insights of from this study will be useful for understanding the role of tourism in the rentier economies, this paper will also help to further theorize tourism within the field of political science and international political economy. This study provides both a macro-level analysis of the political economic obstacles to tourism development in Kuwait and the more micro-level challenges that have resulted, particularly in relation to mega-development projects, such as the $3.3 billion dollar Failaka Island development.

  • Kuwait Mega Projects 2010-2014
    ANNEX A Kuwait Mega Projects 2010-2014 Kuwait Five-Year Plan Overview: Finally and in a move described as historic, the Kuwaiti national assembly initially approved the development plan up to 2013/14 –the first plan since 1986. This is a move that almost everybody was calling for to revive the Kuwaiti economy facing recessionary pressures since September 2008. The plan, which includes a total of 1,100 projects among them lots of Mega Projects, was approved with estimated KD37bn (US$125bn) of spending focusing on both oil and non oil economic sectors. Kuwait has announced spending in the 2010/2011 fiscal year about 16 billion Kuwaiti dinars ($55.6 billion), and it will base its 2010/2011 budget on an oil price of $43 a barrel. The plan aims at decreasing the country’s dependence on oil but also to includes investment on raising oil and natural gas production, it aims as well for turning Kuwait into a regional trade and financial hub through sustaining economic development, economic diversification and GDP growth. Private sector will be involved in such projects mainly through BOT schemes. Consequently, banking sector will have the appetite to provide credit lines for such projects as long as government support is there. This will have its direct positive impact hand in hand with the expansionary monetary policy to increase liquidity. Due to Kuwaiti law regarding property development, all of these projects will follow the build-operate-transfer (BOT) model, thus allowing the private sector to become more involved in the ongoing development of Kuwait. While the BOTs are currently operating in a 20-year timeframe, the government is examining regulations with an eye to making them more flexible.

  • The Archaeology of Kuwait
    School of History and Archaeology The Archaeology of Kuwait By Majed Almutairi A thesis submitted in fulfilment of requirements for a Ph.D. in Archaeology Supervisor: Professor Denys Pringle i Summary This thesis addresses the archaeology of Kuwait from 13000BC to the 18th century AD, to further understand its significances within the Arabian Gulf and wider world. Kuwait has witness many diverse cultures By comparing for the first time the archaeology, geography, and historical sources, I illustrate that this region has been continual inhabited and used as an important hub of social networks since its beginnings. By introducing the Ubaid civilization and their relations with other regions, we witness the first exchange and trade strategies in Kuwait. By looking at the burial mound phenomenon in Kuwait we witness a hiatus of permanent settlements and a time when people were more nomadic. The impact of these mounds resonated into later periods. Petroleum based substances play a key role in modern Kuwait; the Ubaid and the Dilmun first developed the usage of bitumen, and here we see how that created links with others in the world. Ideas move as well as people, and I demonstrate the proto-Hellenistic and Hellenistic periods in Kuwait to illustrate influences from the Mediterranean. Modern Kuwait is Islamic, and here we will investigate how and why and the speeds at which Christianity gave way to Islam, and the impacts of a different religion on the region. In highlighting Kuwait’s past, I show how the state became one of the most democratic and diverse places in the Arabian Gulf.
