  • Translittération Ou Transcription? Propositions D’Écriture Des Noms Arabes Égyptiens En Archéologie
    TRANSLITTÉRATION OU TRANSCRIPTION? PROPOSITIONS D’ÉCRITURE DES NOMS ARABES ÉGYPTIENS EN ARCHÉOLOGIE Depuis le début du XXe siècle, l’archéologie, et plus spécialement l’égyptologie, essaient de fixer avec plus ou moins de bonheur l’ortho- graphe des mots arabes égyptiens. Il est assez amusant de constater qu’après tant d’efforts, un seul et même mot puisse être écrit de tant de manières sans jamais être toutefois correctement prononcé une seule fois! L’ajout de lettres de translittération aux transcriptions a semblé être, en son temps, une solution d’avenir qui s’avéra pourtant sans lende- main. La lecture de publications récentes montre qu’il existe encore un réel débat entre auteurs pour la transcription d’un mot. Ce débat n’a pas lieu sur le plan des idées, mais oppose différentes sensibilités sur la per- ception d’un terme arabe en français. Faut-il écrire Íd« db« al-dayr al-baÌari, «Deir el-BaÌari», «Deir El-Bahari», «El-Deir El-Bahari» ou «Deir al-Bahari»? La volonté de tous serait d’aboutir à la création d’un véritable système de transcription. Malheureusement, la vocalisation de la langue arabe égyptienne est un obstacle majeur qui interdit la mise en place de règles de transcription définitives. Il existe, en fin de compte, une réelle diffi- culté à vouloir donner une orthographe à des mots qui jouent à cache- cache avec le dictionnaire depuis plus d’un siècle. Il appartient donc aux institutions d’éditer et de diffuser des lexiques de référence fixant l’usage des mots transcrits et permettant d’unifier la terminologie des mots employés en égyptologie.

FOR MECHANICAL & ELECTRICAL PROJECTS From 1971 till today, KAHROMIKA has improved itself to be the major electro-mechanical contractor in Egypt, through its extensive participation to most of the projects in the power generation, transmission and distribution. After approximately 40 years of valuable history, KAHROMIKA become today the solution to achieve the formula of success; competitive cost and high quality in the required time. For the previous reasons most of the international companies recommend KAHROMIKA to be their partners in Egypt and Middle East. The key word of our success is the strategy which aim to client satisfaction, improve the skill level of our staff, increase our market share and participate in new working fields with new partners. In this regards we established some branches in different countries in the zones of Asia and Middle East and we aim to expand our working zones to cover most of Asia and Africa by the end of year 2017. Based on our roots in the electro-mechanical field we executed in years 2007 to 2010 fifteen power plant packages in parallel with 5,300 direct skilled labors in addition to other projects in different fields. The previous facts focused on our enormous capability to manage and finance such number of projects in the same time. For that KAHROMIKA became the first choice for the overseas companies. Turnkey project execution has always been at the very core of KAHROMIKA construction enterprise. Our achievements aren't just historical events they are facts resulted by great efforts.

Foreword The National Maternal Mortality Study: Egypt, 2000 is the second national study of maternal mortality to take place in Egypt. I requested that this study be repeated to measure the degree of reduction in maternal mortality since the first study (1992/93), which was conducted eight years ago. Both studies were conducted by the Ministry of Health and Population, Directorate of Maternal and Child Health Care with help from the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS). Support to fund this study was provided by the Ministry of Health and Population and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), with technical support provided by USAID contractor John Snow, Inc. It is with great pleasure that I congratulate all of my MOHP colleagues on their accomplishments and contributions to lowering the national maternal mortality ratio by over 50% (from 174 to 84 per 100,000 live births) in the past eight years.
