  • Trading Mechanisms, Return's Volatility and Efficiency in the Casablanca
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Trading mechanisms, return’s volatility and efficiency in the Casablanca Stock Exchange FERROUHI, El Mehdi and EZZAHID, Elhadj Mohammed V University, Rabat, Morocco July 2013 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/77322/ MPRA Paper No. 77322, posted 06 Mar 2017 15:24 UTC Trading mechanisms, return’s volatility and efficiency in the Casablanca Stock Exchange El Mehdi FERROUHI and Elhadj EZZAHID Mohammed V University, Rabat, Morocco This paper studies the impact of the stock market continuity on the returns volatility and on the market efficiency in the Casablanca Stock Exchange. For the most active stocks, the trading mechanism used is the continuous market which is preceded by a call market pre-opening session. Results obtained concerning return volatility and efficiency under the two trading mechanisms show that the continuous market returns are more volatile than the call market returns and 50 percent of stocks studied show independence between variations. Keywords: Trading mechanism, microstructure, call market, continuous market, efficiency, volatility 1. Introduction The microstructure of financial markets is the discipline that studies the modalities of the operational functioning of financial markets and the mechanisms that lead to the determination of prices at which stocks are exchanged. Thus, it discusses the impact of trading mechanisms on the pattern of financial markets. In this paper we will focus in the impacts of trading mechanisms, which differ from a market to other, on return’s volatility and market efficiency. Some stock markets apply the “call market” in which trading and orders executions occur at regular time intervals. All transactions are conducted at a single price determined to balance the sales and purchases orders.

  • Demobilization in Morocco: the Case of the February 20 Movement by © 2018 Sammy Zeyad Badran
    Demobilization in Morocco: The Case of The February 20 Movement By © 2018 Sammy Zeyad Badran Submitted to the graduate degree program in Political Science and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chairperson: Dr. Hannah E. Britton Co-Chairperson: Dr. Gail Buttorff Dr. Gary M. Reich Dr. Nazli Avdan Dr. Alesha E. Doan Date Defended: 31 May 2018 ii The dissertation committee for Sammy Zeyad Badran certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Demobilization in Morocco: The Case of The February 20 Movement Chairperson: Dr. Hannah E. Britton Co-Chairperson: Dr. Gail Buttorff Date Approved: 31 May 2018 iii Abstract This dissertation aims to understand why protests lessen when they do by investigating how and why social movements demobilize. I do this by questioning the causal link between consistent state polices (concessions or repression) and social movement demobilization. My interviews with the February 20 Movement, the main organizer of mass protests in Morocco during the Arab Spring, reveals how ideological differences between leftist and Islamist participants led to the group’s eventual halt of protests. During my fieldwork, I conducted 46 semi-structured elite interviews with civil society activists, political party leaders, MPs, and independent activists throughout Morocco. My interviews demonstrate that the February 20 Movement was initially united, but that this incrementally changed following the King’s mixed-policy of concessions and repression. The King’s concessionary policies convinced society that demands were being met and therefore led to the perception that the February 20 Movement was no longer needed, while repression highlighted internal divides.

  • Morocco 2018 International Religious Freedom Report
    MOROCCO 2018 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary According to the Moroccan constitution, Islam is the religion of the state, and the state guarantees freedom of thought, expression, and assembly. The constitution also says the state guarantees to everyone the freedom to “practice his religious affairs.” The constitution states the king holds the Islamic title “Commander of the Faithful,” and he is the protector of Islam and the guarantor of the freedom to practice religious affairs in the country. It also prohibits political parties founded on religion and political parties, parliamentarians, and constitutional amendments that denigrate or infringe on Islam. Moroccan law penalizes the use of enticements to convert a Muslim to another religion and prohibits criticism of Islam. According to the 2017-2018 Moroccan Association of Human Rights Report, the only non-Muslim citizens who could freely practice their religion were Jews. Local Christian and Shia leaders reported the government detained and questioned some Christian and Shia citizens about their beliefs and contacts with other Christians and Shias. Christian and Shia Muslim citizens also stated their fear of government and societal harassment led to their decision to practice their faiths discreetly. According to press reports, in April police in Rabat detained a Christian citizen for 24 hours after finding Christian literature in his backpack. On April 3, a group calling itself the Moroccan Christian Coordinating Group met with the National Council of Human Rights (CNDH) to submit a petition calling for the government to recognize rights for Christian citizens such as freedom to worship, celebrate civil marriages, establish and operate cemeteries, use biblical names for children, and the right of children to decline Islamic classes at school.

Crit Care (2021) 25:144 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13054-021-03465-0 RESEARCH Open Access Death in hospital following ICU discharge: insights from the LUNG SAFE study Fabiana Madotto1†, Bairbre McNicholas2,3†, Emanuele Rezoagli4,5, Tài Pham6,7, John G. Lafey2,3*, Giacomo Bellani4,5 on behalf of the LUNG SAFE Investigators and the ESICM Trials Group Abstract Background: To determine the frequency of, and factors associated with, death in hospital following ICU discharge to the ward. Methods: The Large observational study to UNderstand the Global impact of Severe Acute respiratory FailurE study was an international, multicenter, prospective cohort study of patients with severe respiratory failure, conducted across 459 ICUs from 50 countries globally. This study aimed to understand the frequency and factors associated with death in hospital in patients who survived their ICU stay. We examined outcomes in the subpopulation discharged with no limitations of life sustaining treatments (‘treatment limitations’), and the subpopulations with treatment limitations. Results: 2186 (94%) patients with no treatment limitations discharged from ICU survived, while 142 (6%) died in hospital. 118 (61%) of patients with treatment limitations survived while 77 (39%) patients died in hospital. Patients without treatment limitations that died in hospital after ICU discharge were older, more likely to have COPD, immu- nocompromise or chronic renal failure, less likely to have trauma as a risk factor for ARDS. Patients that died post ICU discharge were less likely to receive neuromuscular blockade, or to receive any adjunctive measure, and had a higher pre- ICU discharge non-pulmonary SOFA score.

However, it does not tell us much about the alternative modes of youth engagement. During the past two decades, youth have been expressing their positions and views by occupying new spaces outside the formal sphere. They participate in marches, organize sit-ins and post their ideas on blogs.
