Impact of oil and gas exploration on marine environment and activities in Red Sea

Development in Oil and Gas industry in Egypt went a step forward recently, and in order to have a new oilfield, the exploration operation is a must. The author focused on different types of seismic survey as the latest technology used in the Oil and Gas exploration, which has been specified with evidence for the newly confirmed agreements between the Egyptian government and the international exploration companies targeted the Red Sea as a fresh exploration area. Furthermore, the environmental impact from the sound energy used in the seismic survey has been explained and the types of marine mammals living in the Red Sea affected has been identified among other creatures. Mitigation measures towards protecting our marine mammals has been proposed. Moreover, the seismic survey vessel with her extended gear would affect many marine activities such as vessel’s traffic and fishing boats in the area of operation.

The impact of women as human capital on perceiving sustainable development in Egyptian industry

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of women as human capital on sustainable development in the Egyptian community factories. Presently, sustainability has become one of the targets all over the world , especially the Egyptian strategy that focuses more on women’s empowerment as human capital. There is a positive trend among organizations, governments and communities to focus more on the lead of sustainability in all our daily activities and business activities.Design/methodology/approachSelf-administered questionnaires were distributed to gather data from 100 engineers (50 women and 50 men) employees of Egyptian factories and industries located in Egypt. To analyze, the collected data, regression analysis and correlation coefficient were employed to examine the study objectives and questions. A statistical Package for Social Sciences has been used for data analysis.FindingsResults reveal that there is a direct positive relationship between women as a capital and sustainable development with its four interrelated pillars (economic, social, environmental and education) in a positive and significant way and the three factors of Human Capital (leadership and motivation, qualifications and satisfaction and creativity).Research limitations/implicationsThe findings only apply to the sample (engineering women, men) that has participated in the questionnaire in the Egyptian factories. More research would be recommended in terms of further research study, highlighting the role of women in other categories in the STEM field as they are the human capital crucial for sustainable development and highlighting its impact on the Egyptian sustainable strategy 2030.Practical implicationsAlthough the Egyptian strategy reinforces gender equality and gaining more roles for women in the Egyptian community, there is still absence of women in factories and science. Based on the findings, there are three concerns that must be addressed: First, opportunities need to be embedded in the factories for more women, especially in engineering categories. Second, authorities must encourage human capital development for women. Third, there is a strong need to create responsible leadership between all human capitals which are especially important in areas of industry.Social implicationsEgyptian factories need to support women’s enthusiasm for innovation, continuously advance science and engineering, foster a business environment that fosters the coexistence of science and technology, the economy and society, support enterprise transformation and optimize the industrial structure of Egyptian industry. Simultaneously, it should encourage and promote the transformation of female achievements and strengthen the role of women leadership enterprises in Egyptian society. In order to promote the ideas of women, more money must be spent on scientific research, human capital must be allocated more effectively and fresh momentum for sustainable economic growth must be generated. It must expand training investment, encourage high-quality human capital and remove the bottleneck.Originality/valueThis paper is unique in presenting women as human capital in Egyptian society and reflects its impact on sustainable development pillars. Although much literature and study is dealing with the two topics of human capital and sustainable development separately or with links to other topics, they have not been dealt with together and there is a scarcity in the literature related to these topics focusing on women separately.

Evidence for origin of lavender foal syndrome among Egyptian Arabian horses in Egypt.

Lavender foal syndrome (LFS) is a fatal hereditary condition that is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. This detrimental mutation is more common in Arabian foals of Egyptian origin than foals from other bloodlines. Heterozygous horses are carriers of the LFS trait and appear normal, while recessive homozygous foals died shortly after birth due to serious complications. In Egypt, in 2014, an Egyptian foal died after manifestations of neurological signs and abnormal coat colour as LFS signs. Therefore, it is important to identify LFS carriers in the population of Arabian horses in Egypt and to encourage improvement of the Arabian horse industry in Egypt by constructing a breeding system based on genetic background in order to avoid mating between carriers and reduce financial losses from deaths of affected foals. To establish a PCR-based test for detecting the MYO5A gene mutation causing LFS in the registered Arabian horse population in Egypt prior to breeding. Cross sectional survey (n= 170) plus targeted sampling (n= 30). A total of 200 samples were collected from an Arabian farm in Egypt and some of them were traced for LFS based on the farm records. The LFS genotypes were identified using the PCR-RFLP technique, fragment analysis followed by sequence analysis. The overall mutated allele and genotype frequencies (N/L) were 0.08 and 16%, respectively. The observed frequency of heterozygotes suggests foals affected with LFS will be produced among Arabian horses in Egypt. Therefore, screening of the entire population for this mutation should be undertaken in the breeding program.

Technological characterization and molecular identification of defined protective starter cultures for fermentation of traditional Rayeb made from camel's milk

AbstractCamel milk isolates of lactic acid bacteria were characterized to develop defined starter cultures that could be used for the production of standardized Egyptian Rayeb fermented milk. The isolates have shown a wide diversity of Technological characteristics and antimicrobial activity. Interesting isolates were genetically identified at the species level. Two mixed culture starters composed of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (FFNL146 and FFNL159) and Lactococcus lactis (FFNL1926 and FFNL2005) along with Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides FFNL2374 were used in the production of Rayeb from camel milk, cow milk, and their mixture and stored for 14 days under refrigeration. Equally mixed camel and cow milk fermented with both starters had the best results of organoleptic attributes and physicochemical properties compared to samples made of camel milk. This is the first study to present two mixed starter cultures for Rayeb manufacturing. The success of these defined starter cultures will potentially enhance the safety and quality of the Rayeb industry in Egypt.

Market Orientation and New Product Development Performance in Egyptian Food Industry: The Mediating Role of Marketing Technical Integration

ABSTRACT While the market orientation (MO) is a significant predictor of new product development (NPD) performance in the previous studies, research reveals that adopting the MO is insufficient without a deeper grasp of other determinants. The study model is based on the resource-based view (RBV) to investigate the MO-NPD performance relationship through mediating marketing technical integration (MTI) in the Egyptian food industry. Primary data were acquired via a self-administered questionnaire from 243 executive managers of 74 food manufacturing companies in Egypt. The gathered data were analyzed using the SEM approach. The findings indicate that MO and MTI are positively associated with NPD performance and that MTI mediates the MO-NPD performance. Furthermore, the findings suggest that larger companies may be better at controlling NPD performance. In addition, environmental dynamism raises NPD performance.

Consumer Attitude towards Preserved Food in Rural and Urban Areas of Fayoum, Egypt

As the food preservation industry is considered one of the most important food industries in Egypt with relative importance equal to 21.27% of the total cumulative number of establishments and relative importance of 20.37% of the total value of industrial production. It’s essential to understand the consumption patterns for each preserved food category and each population category. This article aims at identifying the consumption patterns of preserved food in the rural and urban areas of Fayoum Governorate and what are the consumers’ attitudes towards it. A survey was designed and data collected by one-on-one interviews with a sample of 200 households, 100 from each area. Data tabulated and analyzed using simple statistical approaches. It’s found that the majority of consumers allocates 15%-30% of their incomes to purchased preserved food. Households including working-women are buying more preserved food. In urban areas, consumers tend to buy more canned and frozen food than those in rural areas. It’s also found that preserved meat, chicken and fish are demanded less than other canned and frozen food. The great majority of consumers in both areas tend to shape their preferences based on taste as a first priority. Other preferences such as packaging and labeling for each food group vary between rural and urban areas.

The Islamic Finance Contract between Indifference, Recharacterisation, and Invalidation: A Look at the Judicial Trends in Light of Economic and Regulatory Backgrounds in Egypt, Kuwait, and Oman

Abstract Despite the prominent role that the Islamic faith plays in shaping the social and regulatory aspects of Arab countries and the constitutional recognition of Islamic law (Sharīʿah) as a main source of legislation in most of these countries, judicial precedents regarding Islamic finance contracts remain scarce in the Arab world. This article sheds light on the judicial treatment of the validity and characterisation of Islamic finance contracts. It examines the economic and regulatory backgrounds of the Islamic finance industry in Egypt, Kuwait, and Oman. This examination provides a necessary prelude to the article’s discussion of the Islamic finance contract from jurisprudential and regulatory standpoints. It also provides a foundation for the analysis of noteworthy judicial precedents on the validity and characterisation of the Islamic finance contract. Following such analysis, this article makes recommendations to enhance the regulatory and judicial appreciation for the distinctiveness of Islamic finance.
