Arbitrary execution is often killing committed in suspicious circumstances characterized by the following: - Death happens to a person in the presence of agents of law enforcement (detained by police officers), public officials or other persons acting in an official capacity. - No official investigation followed the death and the authorities did not carry out an autopsy of the victim's body or took the necessary steps to obtain relevant evidence (medical report, or signs of previous torture). Arbitrary execution includes killing committed for political reasons and death resulting from torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment and killing in the wake of abduction or enforced disappearance. Extrajudicial killing: The extrajudicial killing occurred between January and December 2016 is varied between, shooting the victim by the Egyptian police forces or the army forces, "especially in Sinai," or as a result of torture inside the police stations or by, medical negligence, lack of health and medical care in prisons and detention places, 52 murder cases and torture were monitored as well as 48 cases of killing in prisons and police stations in addition to implementation of a death sentence by unfair trial plus 1,000 cases of murder in Sinai. 8 Statistical table of murder cases and torture Number Name violation Date Governorate 1 NshaatEssam Mohamed killed 7-Jan-16 Alsharqya Hassan 2 Mohamed MohamedAtwa killed 7-Jan-16 Alsharqya Ahmed Mustafa 3 Maher Abdullah killed 7-Jan-16 Alsharqya ElSayedHussain 4 Mohamed hassan killed 8-Jan-16 Alfayoum Mohamed Mahfouz 5 Mohamed Mahmoud Awad killed 9-Jan-16 Banysweif 6 Mohamed Hemdan killed 28-Jan-16 Cairo 7 Ahmed Galal killed 1-Feb-16 Giza 8 Ahmed Sayed Abdullah killed 7-Feb-16 Giza Ahmed 9 Mohamed Farouq Abu killed 7-Feb-16 Giza Elhassan Ali 10 Abdullah Mohamed Mousa Killed 7-Feb-16 Giza 11 Akram Mohamed Hassan killed 7-Feb-16 Toukh police ElShazly department 12 Abd ElFattah Tortured 12-Feb-16 Giza to death 13 Mohamed Kamal Elgazzar Suffocated 13-Feb-16 Damietta at the police station 14 ElsayedElsayed Abu Killed 26-Feb-16 Damietta ElmaatySaeed 15 Mohamed Killed 26-Feb-16 Shebin El elsayedMosaadBadwy Qanater Police Station 16 Mohamed Ezzat Khalil Tortured 29-Feb-16 Kafr El to death Sheikh 17 Ahmed Moheb Killed 15-Mar-16 Cairo 18 TarekSaadAbdelfattah Killed 24-Mar-16 Cairo 19 SaadTarekSaad Killed 24-Mar-16 Cairo 20 Mustafa BakrAwad Suffocated 24-Mar-16 Cairo 9 at the police station 21 Salah Ali Sayed Tortured 24-Mar-16 Cairo to death 22 Ebrahem Farouk killed 24-Mar-16 Cairo 23 ElsayedElseedy killed 1-Apr-16 Alfayoum 24 Mustafa Hassan Attia killed 2-Apr-16 Giza 25 Mustafa Mohamed killed 19-Apr-16 Cairo AbdelKader 26 Ahmed AbdElmonem Thrown 26-Apr-16 Dakahlia Hassan out of a balcony 27 Badr Shehata Tortured 21-May-16 Borg elarab to death prison 28 ElSaeed Mohamed Ahmed killed 24-May-16 Dakahlia Eltantawyl 29 Ahmed Khalil Killed 3-Jun-16 Damietta EbrahemEzzelden 30 Waleed Hussein Mohamed killed 7-Jun-16 Damietta Hussein 31 Mahmoud Talaat Ahmed killed 7-Jun-16 Damietta 32 Mohamed Abdelhady killed 7-Jun-16 Damietta Mahmoud 33 Kamal MusatfaElmohdy Tortured 7-Jul-16

Corresponding Author: Alboo-Hassan, A. S., Email: [email protected] Abstract— Damietta coastal plain northern of Nile Delta, is a very promising area for energy resources, tourism and industrial activities. It suffered from several changes over the past century, especially in its boundaries and topography. The objective of this work was to study the spatial and temporal changes that took place along the coastal line of Damietta governorate by using RS and GIS techniques. This is in addition to providing an accurate estimation of the areas where erosion and deposition processes take place. For that purpose multi- temporal Landsat data were collected in 1984, 2000, 2011 and 2014. Also, two spectral indices were used in this study, which are the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) and the World View Water Index (WVWI)) to study the changes along the coastal water/land 2 2 interface. The obtained results indicated that the eroded areas were about 14.08 kmP P from 1984 to 2000, about 3.54 kmP P from 2000 to 2 2 2011, and about 2.05 kmP P from 2011 to 2014.

However it was the wish of the officials in MCH/MoH to identify the needs of hospitals and MCH centers to become Baby Friendly health facilities, as a follow-up of the survey conducted in 2008 (MCH- MoH/ELCA/UNICEF, 2010). The survey was inspired by UNICEF/ECO’s support, motivation and facilitation throughout the work. MCFC started off initially with three governorates: Qaluibiya, Alexandria and Sohag then added Gharbia governorate (only 4 hospitals and affiliated MCH units). We then formed partnerships with the universities in each governorate. We partnered with Benha University Faculty of Medicine in Qaluibiya and Sohag University Faculty of Medicine, community department in Sohag governorate, while utilized our own IBCLCs and national BFHI assessors in Alexandria and Gharbia governorates.

  • Added Value from Industries, Introduced in Villages, Oases and Reclaimed Lands
    Modern Agricultural Science and Technology, ISSN 2375-9402, USA February 2017, Volume 3, No. 1-2, pp. 1-10 Doi: 10.15341/mast(2375-9402)/01.03.2017/001 Academic Star Publishing Company, 2017 www.academicstar.us Added Value from Industries, Introduced in Villages, Oases and Reclaimed Lands Hamed Ibrahim El-Mously1, 2 1. Faculty of Engineering, Ain Shams, Egypt 2. Egyptian Society for Endogenous Development of Local Communities, Egypt Abstract: A considerable portion of the agricultural resources are being treated as valueless waste! This leads to the loss of sustainable resources as a comparative advantage and the associated opportunity of sustainable development. This can be attributed to the narrowness of the angle, by which we are accustomed to view these renewable resources, as well as the absence of the appropriate means to turn this waste to wealth. The first aspect is associated with the level of the R&D activities. The role of the researchers is, proceeding from the understanding and valorization of the traditional technical heritage of use of these resources, to issue a contemporary edition for the use of these resources, to rediscover them as a material base for the satisfaction of human needs: on the local, national and international levels. The second aspect is associated with industry. Industry here is understood in broad terms as these activities, conducted under defined conditions to transform the state, shape or properties of the agricultural resources to satisfy a certain criterion or requirement along a predetermined path of transformation to a final product. Proceeding from this definition industry includes a wide spectrum of activities including: sorting (to various sizes or quality levels), packaging, drying, freezing, pressing, squeezing, filtering, threshing, baling, etc.
