The Impact of Management Expenses on Company’s Profitability
The purpose of this project to determine the impact of the general and administrative expenses on a firm’s profitability that include return on assets ratio and return on equity. The data analysis was carried out on data collected between 2015 and 2020 from a sample of 120 of the company in the stock market (banks, insurance, industrial sector companies, agriculture and service). All though general and administrative expenses do not have a statistically significant effect on the return on assets ratio of the firm, they do have an effect on the return on equity ratio of the firm whereas, the lower the general and administrative expenses, the higher the return on equity ratio.
The impact of financial leverage and operational efficiency on the profitability of Syrian banks using Dupont model
Aims to reveal the influence of the financial leverage and operational efficiency on the profitability of Syrian banks and the extent of the possibility of using the debt to increase profitability. To achieve the objectives of the study, the necessary data were collected for the variables of the study which is independent variables represented by financial leverage (equity multiplayer) and operational efficiency (assets utilization, net profit margin). The dependent variable profitability is expressed as the return on assets.
The Globalization of Science Curricula
Provides a significant and timely investigation into the impacts that globalization has exerted on science curricula in a diverse range of countries using extensive data sets collected by the IEA between 1995 and 2015. Using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, this book considers the extent to which there have been changes to the intended and implemented science curricula in different countries over the last 20 years. Consideration is then given as to whether science curricula are becoming increasingly similar across countries over time. Finally the issue of whether the basis of an international core curriculum can be identified is addressed.
The effect of training expenses on financial performance : A study on a sample of Syrian banks
Investigates the impact of human resources training expenses on financial performance in Syrian commercial banks. Training expenses were considered the independent variable, while financial performance represented by ROA (Return On Assets) and ROE (Return On Equity) was the dependent variable. The age of the bank was included as a control variable in the study. The target population consisted of all 11 Syrian banks listed on the Damascus Securities Exchange. The researchers relied on using panel data, which takes into account the effects of individual factors and time when estimating regression equations.
The Effect of monetary policies on inflation
Inflation is bad news. Besides distorting prices, it erodes savings, discourages investment, stimulates capital flight (into foreign assets, precious metals, or unproductive real estate), inhibits growth, makes economic planning a nightmare, and, in its extreme form, evokes social and political unrest. Governments consequently regard inflation as a plague and try to squelch it by adopting conservative and sustainable fiscal and monetary policies.
The Economics of Demutualization : An Empirical Analysis of the Securities Exchange Industry
Felix Treptow seeks to fill this gap in the literature and presents in this book an in depth analysis of the demutualization phenomenon. In his thesis, he applies advanced econometric methods to data sets which were assem bled specifically for the purpose of his analysis. Each of the three self-contained chapters of this volume addresses different issues which are of importance to the various stake holders in this process. The analysis covers the micro- and macroeconomic causes of demutualization, its impact on market liquidity and the changing relationship between exchanges and issuers.
The determinants of conventional Syrian banks profitability
Examines the impact of bank specific characteristics and macroeconomic variables on the profitability of Syrian banking industry by analysing balanced panel data from 2016 to 2019. A total of 11 Syrian conventional banks’ financial reports were analysed; The paper examines internal variables (bank-level indicators), which include financial leverage, liquidity, nonperforming loans and capital adequacy, as well as external variables, which include macroeconomic and industry-specific variables. The dependent variables used are return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE). A multi-regression model of panel data regression analysis is hired for the analysis. The results revealed that the profitability of banks is greatly affected by non-performing debt and the financial Leverage. The results are consistent with previous research conducted on the impact internal factors on the profitability of banks.

The Augmented Spherical Wave (ASW) method is one of the most powerful approaches for handling the requirements of finite basis sets in DFT calculations. While it is particularly suited for the calculation of the electronic, magnetic, and optical properties of solid-state materials, recent developments allow application, in addition, to the elastic properties and phonon spectra. The book addresses all those who want to learn about methods for electronic structure calculations and the ASW method, in particular.
The Art and science of color in holistic interior design : A crash course
Color sets the mood, and choosing a harmonious color palette for your interior design project is key to establishing the overarching theme, mood, and ambience of your design vision. The color consultation is an opportunity to explore your design vision with an experienced professional in order to create a custom curated room color palette that authentically reflects your style and clearly communicates overarching design themes.Choosing and combining colors in interior design requires a background in color theory and at least a little glimpse into the science of why we see different colors the way we do. That's because this technical knowledge is what allows a designer to create meaningful and striking color combinations or even manipulate light and color to create near-illusions, such as making a space appear larger, making the ceiling appear higher or lower, or even tricking the eye into perceiving two different colors as the same.

Systems Biology : International Research and Development
Systems biology is defined for the purpose of this study as the understanding of biological network behaviors, and in particular their dynamic aspects, which requires the utilization of mathematical modeling tightly linked to experiment. This involves a variety of approaches, such as the identification and validation of networks, the creation of appropriate datasets, the development of tools for data acquisition and software development, and the use of modeling and simulation software in close linkage with experiment. All of these are discussed in this volume. Of course, the definition becomes ambiguous at the margins, but at the core is the focus on networks, which makes it clear that the goal is to understand the operation of the systems, rather than the component parts.
System Analysis : Theory and Applications
The foundations of system analysis as an applied scientific methodology assigned for the investigation of complex and highly interdisciplinary problems are provided in this monograph. The basic definitions and the methodological and theoretical basis of formalization and solution processes in various subject domains are presented. The methods of formalizing the system tasks and reducing them to a solvable form under real-world conditions and by taking into account e.g. sets of contradictory purposes, quantitative and qualitative characteristics of information, different kinds of uncertainties and risks are described in detail. In addition, the authors propose methods for disclosing the conceptual uncertainty and develop a strategy for system interaction or counteraction of coalitions under multifactorial risks. All these topics are supported by the presentation of computing algorithms and solution procedures for practical problems in socio-economics and in technology.

Sublinear computation paradigm : Algorithmic revolution in the big data era
Gives an overview of cutting-edge work on a new paradigm called the “sublinear computation paradigm,” which was proposed in the large multiyear academic research project “Foundations of Innovative Algorithms for Big Data.” That project ran from October 2014 to March 2020, in Japan. To handle the unprecedented explosion of big data sets in research, industry, and other areas of society, there is an urgent need to develop novel methods and approaches for big data analysis. To meet this need, innovative changes in algorithm theory for big data are being pursued. For example, polynomial-time algorithms have thus far been regarded as “fast,” but if a quadratic-time algorithm is applied to a petabyte-scale or larger big data set, problems are encountered in terms of computational resources or running time. To deal with this critical computational and algorithmic bottleneck, linear, sublinear, and constant time algorithms are required.

Stream Data Management
Researchers in data management have recently recognized the importance of a new class of data-intensive applications that requires managing data streams, i.e., data composed of continuous, real-time sequence of items. Streaming applications pose new and interesting challenges for data management systems. Such application domains require queries to be evaluated continuously as opposed to the one time evaluation of a query for traditional applications. Streaming data sets grow continuously and queries must be evaluated on such unbounded data sets. These, as well as other challenges, require a major rethink of almost all aspects of traditional database management systems to support streaming applications. Stream Data Management comprises eight invited chapters by researchers active in stream data management. The collected chapters provide exposition of algorithms, languages, as well as systems proposed and implemented for managing streaming data.
