Published: February 2018

Introducción. La interacción de la familia con hijos discapacitados con las redes de apoyo es una area de investigación de gran actualidad (Hendriks, De Moor, Oud y Savelberg, 2000). Se ha demostrado que las redes de apoyo pueden resultar de mucha ayuda para la familia, y, sobre todo, para las familias con hijos discapacitados. Las redes de apoyo juegan un papel primordial en el esfuerzo familiar para adaptarse a la discapacidad, y responder a las necesidades psicosociales de los familiares (DeMarle y Le Roux, 2001). El objetivo de esta investigación es representar las redes de apoyo y el grado de satisfacción con este apoyo, tal como lo experimentan 30 familias griegas que tienen hijos en edad escolar, y después comparar esta experiencia con la de 30 familias con hijos no discapacitados. Método. La muestra consiste en 60 familias nucleares, en total, 120 padres de estatus socioeconómico medio, todos con residencia permanente en la isla de Rodas, Grecia. La recogida de datos utilizó: 1) el Genogram (Bowen, 1978), 2) el Family’s Ecomap [ecomapa de la familia] (Hartman, 1978a), 3) el Social Support Questionnaire [cuestionario sobre el apoyo social] (Sarason, Sarason, Sherin y Pierce, 1987), y 4) entrevistas semi-estructuradas. Resultados. Según los hallazgos del estudio, las familias, con o sin hijos discapacitados, comparten redes de apoyo comunes (familia de origen, amigos, religión), pero las familias con un hijo discapacitado también utilizan otras redes de apoyo (otras familias con hijos discapacitados, especialistas,…). Todas las familias expresan su satisfacción cuando se refieren a las redes de apoyo compuestas de individuos. El grado de satisfacción es irregular cuando se refiere a las redes de apoyo institucionalizadas.Conclusión. Las familias con hijos discapacitados no se sienten apoyadas adecuadamente por las estructuras sociales (escuela, centros de intervención,…). Esto se debe al hecho de que las regiones remotas de Grecia carecen de estructuras de apoyo a estas familias. Además, las familias sienten ansiedad e ira a causa de esta carencia de apoyo social (servicios, personal especializado, prácticas discriminatorias, etc.).

Synthesis and Spectro-Kinetic Study of the Complexes of Pd+2 Ion with 2-(5-Bromo-2- pyridylazo)5diethylaminophenol Reagent in Ethanol – Water Solutions
Authors: Ibrahim Muayed Khaleel 
Published: February 2018

The complexes of Pd+2 ion with 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-dieıhyl aminophenol (BPADAP) were studied kinetically and spectrophotometrically in aqueous ethanolic solutions. The reagent forms 1:1, 2:1 square planer and 1:1 bridged shape binuclear complexes with Pd+2 ion. All these complexes (violet colour) absorb light in the same region at 540, 575 and 618nm. The band at 618 nm seems to be specific for complexes of Pd+2ion with BPADAP. The rate constants of the growth in 93% H2O + 7% ethanol of 1:1 and 2:1 complexes at 575 and 618 nm were followed the first order kinetics and are quite of the same values , 0.495 and 0.463 min- 1 respectively. The rate constants of the decay of 2:1 complex at 618 and 575 nm were followed the first order kinetics; their values are 0.075 and 0.065 min-1 respectively which are slower than the rate of the decay of 1:1 complex. Whereas, the rate constants of the growth and decay of 1:1 bridged binuclear complex also followed the first order kinetics but they are much slower than those of 1:1 and 2:1 complexes: the values of the growth are 025min-1at 575 nm , and 0.16 min-1 at 618 nm. And the values of the decay are 0.0476 min-1 at 575 nm and 0.008min-1 at 61 8 nm. It was found that BPADAP can identify and detect in ethanol at 575 and 618 nm less than one microgram up to more than seven micrograms of Pd+2 ion . The interference of UO2+2, Th+4, Pb+2 , Cd+2,Bi+3, Hg+2 and Zn+ 2 in the detection of Pd+2 ion at 575 nm ranges between (25.3 - 67)%. Whereas, the interference of these ions with the detection at 618 nm is only between (2.3 -3.9) %, so it is reasonable to suggest that BPADAP is a specific reagent for Pd+2 ion at 618 nm

Published: February 2018

This research develops a multivariate system framework for assessing user satisfaction of public water utility organization in a developing country and predicts quality, quantity and overall user satisfaction for policy initiatives. The model framework is applied to the data collected by Public Affairs Centre (PAC) based on the Citizen Report Card approach pioneered by it. Wald test confirms that there exits cross equation correlation across quality, quantity and overall users’ satisfaction dimensions. Based on the system model, the study identifies statistically significant factors that explain users’ loyalty to express satisfaction and voice to express dissatisfaction of users. Policy initiatives are proposed on key factors to reduce voice factors set so that the service provider could improve its service delivery. The system model correctly predicts 85% of satisfied customers across quality, quantity and overall satisfaction dimensions.

The firm lifecycle as a determiant of going private decisions
Authors: Gutsche Robert , Schroeter Lucia 
Published: February 2018

We examine the impact of corporate lifecycle on the likelihood of becoming a voluntary going private firm. We apply the firm’s capital mix as a measure for the stage in a firm’s lifecycle. In doing so, we provide a framework and evidence on firm characteristics of going private firms. We find that the decision to go private depends on the firm’s lifecycle. Young firms, with low retained earnings are more likely to go private than mature or old firms. We also find that relative firm characteristics of going private and non-going private firms are consistent with the findings on relative firm characteristics in M & A activity research for acquirers (bidders, non-targets) vs. non-acquirer (non-bidders, and targets) and that these relative firm characteristics of going private and non-going private firms stay constant throughout all stages of the corporate lifecycle.

Interim Measures in International Commercial Arbitration: A Discourse in Continued Uncertainty
Authors: Al Mekhlafi Noran Mohammed 
Published: February 2018

The paper investigates the problem associated with the issue of interim measures in international arbitration, particularly, the power of arbitral tribunals to grant such measures and to enforce them. After an extensive and detailed analysis of various international arbitration rules, conventions and national systems the research finds that there is a great deal of uncertainty and confusion as to the issues underlying interim measures in international arbitration. In addition, national legislations on arbitration need to be clarified and adjusted to international best practices.

One of the main issues which the paper highlights is the limitation on national court’s power to order interim measures. In several cases, it has been recorded that the availability of emergency arbitrator’s provisions under institutional rules may significantly jeopardize the parties’ existing right to seek court-ordered interim measures, which is not in line with what the arbitral institutions had intended upon providing these expediting provisions. Thus, the paper provides suggestions and recommendations towards more certainty in the treatment of interim measures in international arbitration.

Published: February 2018

One of the key issues currently faced by the UAE Police Force is effective leadership. Authentic Leadership is one of the more contemporary theories of leadership and is linked with organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), which is the discretionary behaviors that are not directly stated in the job description. This research also incorporates the theory of person-environment fit, by proposing to examine whether a police employee with high moral values, fits with an authentic leader and a work environment where justice is paramount.

Authors: Tabash Mosab I , Yahya Ali T , Akhtar Asif 
Published: February 2018

This paper examines the financial performance of Islamic and commercial banks in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The paper gives an empirical insights and comparisons between the performance of Islamic and conventional banking sectors. The sample of the study consists of 5 fully-fledged Islamic banks and 14 conventional banks working in the UAE under the period 2011-2014. The study uses descriptive analysis, correlation, independent sample t test and multiple regression analysis to assess the performance and to compare between both types of banks. The Return on Assets (ROA) is used as proxy for profitability for both types of banks while bank size (log A), liquidity, capital adequacy, financial risk and operating efficiency as proxies for financial performance for both types of banks. The results showed that there is no significant difference between Islamic banks and conventional banks in terms of profitability (ROA) while there is a significant difference between Islamic and conventional banks in terms of liquidity, operation efficiency, capital adequacy, and financial risk. Further, the results indicated that the Islamic banks have higher operating efficiency, bank size and more liquidity than their counterparts of UAE. However, conventional banks are found to have better capital adequacy ratio than Islamic banks. In terms of financial risk, Islamic banks are found to have higher five times than conventional banks which may reflect challenges in the area of risk management in Islamic banks.
Keywords: Financial performance, Islamic banks, Conventional banks, ROA, UAE.

A Novel Mechanism for Delivering IPTV Traffic in Ethernet Passive Optical Networks
Authors: Liem Andrew Tanny 
Published: February 2018

<p><strong>Abstract</strong> </p><p>IPTV offers digital television services over Internet Protocol (IP) for the ubscribers at a lower cost. Despite all the attractive IPTV services, it also requires high-speed access networks with the functions of multicasting, Quality-of-Services (QoS) guarantee and so on. In the access networks, Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) is regarded as one of the best technology to meet the higher bandwidth demands applications such as IPTV. There are two common mechanisms used for delivering IPTV to the users in the EPON system such as, dedicated stream and multicast stream. The dedicated stream is not scalable to a large number of clients because of the limited bandwidth and resource consumption at the server side. Conversely, although multicast could be used as a scalable solution for media streaming, but providing such services in the EPON is still challenging due to some limitations in the EPON system. In this paper, we propose a new mechanism that is a Single Copy Broadcast (SCB) with Priority Queue (PQ) mechanism that can accommodate large number of clients IPTV streams without adding extra bandwidth and resources at the Optical Line Terminal (OLT). Simulation results have shown that our proposed mechanism can improve the QoS metrics and system performance in terms of bandwidth consumption and power consumption.</p><p>Keywords— IPTV, QoS, EPON, Unicast, Multicast, Single Copy Broadcast</p>
