Abstract

The UAE has undergone a continuous economic development, which has seen the standards of living rise. With the rise in standards of living, individuals have managed to purchase cars and shift from public to their personal transport arrangements. The increase in car purchases has also taken place due to the affordability associated with fuel. The affordability has enabled individuals to save on acquiring their personal means of movement within the UAE. With the said rise in living standards and affordability of fuel, the consequent increase in private transport has led to the road traffic congestion in major towns within UAE. ...

The Berlin Conference of 1884 to 1885 which is also referred to as the Congo Conference signified a powerful role in the regulation of European colonization as well as free trade in parts of Africa during the period of neo-imperialism. One of the outward goals of the conference was to implement regulations on the rampant colonization of Africa in order to prevent the military conflict between the colonizing states. It is to be noted that colonial powers went into what historians coined as the ‘Scramble for Africa’, where they decided to invade, occupy, divide and colonize the different parts ...

Introduction

One of the most prominent issues in Economics today is the identification of the possible events that would occur in the Caspian Sea Region in the coming sequence of years or even decade. We are currently experiencing a lot of changes economically and it would really be hard to predict the possibilities even in the coming months due to such changes. The Caspian Sea basically houses countries that are energy-rich due to the presence of natural resources within their boundaries—natural resources that are commonly used for energy. Because of these, this issue that talks about the possible outcome-scenario of ...

Introduction

Interest rate, especially the repo and reverse repo rate set by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) have a profound effect on the value of real estate like any other investment vehicle. Because of great influence of the interest rate on an individual’s ability to purchase houses by increasing or decreasing the cost of the total mortgage amount, many people assume that interest is the only factor in real estate valuation. However, this assumption is not true. Interest rate definitely plays a big role in determining the housing prices, but it is not the only factor influencing the price of a ...

Nuclear Power Potential in the Caspian Sea Region

Nuclear power seems to be a viable and economic option (Anker et al., 2010) for the countries around the Caspian Sea Region to take advantage of. There are a lot of reasons actually why that is so and two of the most common reasons are nuclear power’s clean nature with no greenhouse gas emissions and it being a reliable source of energy compared to energy generated from combusted fossil fuels.
Aside from this, there are still other undiscovered and uncovered benefits of Nuclear Power. However, there are dangers in using this promising technology. At present, it is not really recommended ...

Introduction

Residential patterns have been hypothesized to affect intergroup relations. Various research studies have been conducted to establish the holding power of this hypothesis. One of the very basic approach to the studies of residential patterns and their effects on intergroup relations has been the assertion that the residential patterns result in prejudiced intergroup relations. Prejudice, in this case, refers to negative beliefs, feelings, and action orientations regarding a certain group of people. Further, research studies have also underscored the assertion that prejudice is a result of social learning, and it gets transmitted through folklore and; hence, gets supported by ...

Capturing this unique and complex assortment of cultures has eluded many scholars, researchers and anthropologists. Some authors have however come close to identifying this complex assortment describing tradition, folk life and folklores.
A major event labeled Louisiana Purchase that occurred in 1803 played a major role in shaping the future of this state. This marked a major experiment to incorporate the very diverse state into ...

Introduction & Background

Since the onset of the 2000s, possible nuclear arms race in the Middle East region has been the focus of the international community. The past decade saw Iran attempts to install nuclear weaponry face harsh criticism and opposition from the western powers.

Presently, according to intelligence reports, Israel is believed to possess nuclear weaponry though the current regime led by Benjamin Netanyahu continues to deny this. The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty does not recognize Israel as a Nuclear Weapon State because ...

UAE presents Cleveland Clinic with a good business opportunity for its services.

Since ancient history, China’s capability to be a dominant and influential actor in the world had made itself known as it grew as one of the oldest and influential civilizations to exist even in the modern world. The Chinese had introduced Eastern culture to the West and brought the West and the East together as they were one of the earliest traders and scholars. Throughout the times of the Great Wars, it is visible China did not make a significant role and have mostly concentrated on its own affairs regionally. However, in recent years, many are now noticing China’s ...

Introduction

History reveals that dynastic authoritarian governing had many challenges in most countries where it was exercised. Dynastic involves a succession of rulers from the same family lineage; a family maintains power all throughout through hereditary means. A country that had such ruling, for example, was ancient China in which there were various dynasties. China for a long period was faced with wars, bloodshed, and conflicts because of the dynastic ruling, people killed each other in order to succeed a power. The succession alternated from competent rulers to incompetent ones and vice versa, and the government was marred with corruption, discrimination, and dictatorial leadership. ...

For the past few months, the Middle East has been in the frontlines due to the numerous conflicts and revolutions against the dictatorship and the lingering political ideology that pushes people to call for democracy and freedom. Out of the most recent conflicts and uprisings in the region, nothing is more diverse and complex than the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict that is still ongoing since the 1940s. The conflict, which began after the proposal of creating a Palestinian state after the Second World War, continues to escalate as the Israelis pressure the Palestinians out of their homes and assert their power as a ...

Population density is the number of people per unit area. It is a statistic frequently used to compare places worldwide. It is simply the number of people per square mile or the number of people per square kilometre.
Mathematically, this is arrived at by dividing the total area population by the area of land in square miles or square kilometres. It is a rough estimate of population distribution across an area. Population density can always be calculated once the land size and the total population of that area is known. From the world population figures, it was seen that Asia ...

Introduction

The general outcomes of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) labor market have remained lower despite the region recording a positive economic growth. The improvements in the MENA labor markets experienced in the last one decade are negligible. Many factors influence the success of labor markets in the world. Factors such as the rate of unemployment, occupational choice and sector allocation, participation rates in different economic activities, and wages are important indicators of the economic position and success of a labor market. However, the MENA labor market continues facing economic segmentations because of the poor wage structure and ...

In a neoliberal, globalized world, no country can exist on its ‘own’. In some way or the other every country is interlinked with the rest of the world be it its economy, its culture or politics. Neoliberalism, technology and increased globalization has transformed countries in a manner that was rapid and unprecedented. While some countries adapted themselves to the new ways of trading and conducting relations with other countries, some did not, resulting in the breakdown of their economies as well as their traditional systems of governance and living. The neoliberal policies originated in the developed countries of America ...

Abstract

Crude oil has been refined to make such fuels as diesel and petrol as well as industrial chemicals and lubricants. Transport activity, as a core element of economic development and a precondition of human welfare, is increasing across the globe with the growth of economies. Transport predominantly relies on such fossil resource as petroleum. The literature relevant for this study can be divided into two parts or strands: one that focuses on the demand side and another one that gives analysis to the oil market by focusing on the supply side. This paper absorbs the ideas of both strands ...

Currently, the geological time scale is divided into three kinds of geological units: rock, time rock and time units. The rock units describe the physical (lithologic) characteristics of the rocks while the time units refer only to the passage of time. In line with this, the Cenozoic era refers to the time between 65 million years ago and today. It refers to the rocks that were deposited during the last 65 million years, and these rocks may have been altered during breaks in this record. These alterations could be caused by erosion, nondeposition or even nonrecognition and are largely ...

I chose this particular topic for my research paper because the South Caucasus is a region that has had the misfortune of seeing inter-ethnic issues played out in different stages of conflict - both latent and violent, and therefore both conflict prevention and conflict resolution/transformation interventions have been required. Georgia's Armenian inhabited area – Samtskhe-Javakheti – is a case of the former. Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Nagorno-Karabakh and also the Georgian-Russian-Ossetian war represent the latter.

The British gave Hong Kong‘s sovereignty to the Mainland China in the year 1997. The public administrators in the mainland China expected Hong Kong to commit to the agreements made. The diversity between the two places contributed to the emergence of conflicts, for instance, Hong Kong financial system was transparent while the Mainland’s system was corrupt. The Hong Kong citizens argue that the Mainland China has abused their civil rights; this has led to the establishment of political movements to fight for people’s rights. It is imperative to assess whether neo-conservatism, liberalism, or Marxism aspects are ...

Introduction

In the recent past, many scientists have provided evidence on how global warming that result from greenhouse gases may adversely affect the arctic regions (including tundra biome). These scientists argue that the excess abundant of greenhouse gases will cause global warming of the earth's climate in the near future. This global rise in temperature is more likely to damage the Antarctic and Arctic biome that than all other biome. This is because global warming is expected to shorten arctic tundra's winters and melt snow that covers permafrost. As a result of this, there will be flooding in many coastal areas. ...

Geography of West Virginia

Introduction
West Virginia is sometimes called the “Panhandle State” attributed to the fact that it is shaped like a large pan with two handles-one in the north and the other one in the east (Hoffman & Hart, 2008). West Virginia is located in the south-eastern portion of the United States, and it is ranked forty-first in size among the fifty states (Petreycik, 2007). The location of West Virginia has played an indispensible role in delineating events that affect the state such as the civil war, space exploration, American Revolution, underground rail road, Louisiana Purchase, Gold Rush and World War II ( ...

It is a tragic but all too familiar irony that many modern-day nations might never have existed without colonialism. Such is the case with the central African nation known today as the Democratic Republic of Congo, the second-largest sovereign nation on the African continent. Between the years 1885 and 1908, the Belgian monarchy headed by King Leopold II, first cousin of Great Britain’s Queen Victoria, undertook colonial rule in a region shaped by the river Congo and part of an ancient tribal kingdom. Financial gain provided the impetus for the Belgians, as it had been for the British, Dutch, Portuguese, ...
