Transformation In Egypt Research Articles

The Regional Ain Shams Telemedicine Network

Abstract With the deficiency in specialized care and low resources it is vital to come up with new healthcare delivery systems that utilize available resources in an efficient way. The hub-spoke model is not new but has recently been revisited as it aids in sharing of specialized services. A central hub is able to support attached spokes through physical and virtual healthcare services. To manage such a network a strong software platform with several integral features should be in place. Using available solutions may not satisfy all required features and may fragment the patient’s health records. Ain Shams University Virtual Hospital (AVH) dedicated to healthcare transformation in Egypt and the region, manages and connects its spokes through TREAT platform (The REgional Ainshams Telemedicine network) that was funded by the Science and Technology Development Fund. The software platform supports provider-to-provider (P2P) telemedicine but for the sake of continuity of care other telemedicine modules and physical services are present. It helps utilize available resources in an efficient way with the capacity to audit user and system performance. The patient module has a seperate entry point and integrates with the rest of the system. Inpatients and outpatients from inside the system and outside can be managed physically and remotely.

Digital Transformation Challenges for Government Sector

Digital transformation in Egypt became government trend supporting by political leader starting in services places like civil registry, real estate center, traffic department and many ministries do their best to apply digital transformation. In the public sector, digital transformation refers to the digitization of government activities, such as delivering a better and easier customer experience, enacting regulations that allow for a distributed workforce, and upgrading and optimizing processes to save money and resources. Employee behavior is a basic element that can affect positively or negatively, positive effect will lead to fasting transformation and increasing services so the upper management can achieve their plans. At the opposite direction if negative impact where employee become obstacle and problem for this transformation the plans will take more time, and this will harm all the systems and prevent integrity between them. Some factors will affect employee behavior education, skills, work culture, leadership, job responsibility and effective communication. Also, we cannot ignore training, and finance. No one denies the impact of digital transformation on the economy of countries, and that is why the obstacles that face digital transformation need to more explored and manipulated in different techniques according to the material and moral needs to achieve complete digital transformation.The study utilized a quantitative approach by administering a self-administered questionnaire to government officials in the public sector of Egypt. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS. The results of the analysis confirmed the relationship between various factors and the implementation of digital transformation in the Egyptian public sector. These factors include financial capabilities, availability of infrastructure and communication systems, organizational culture, cooperation between government, business, higher education, and civil society, employee experience and skillset, selection of senior leaders, employee-centered organization, and diversity management.

The Role Of The Central Asians In The Socio-Political And Cultural Life Of Mamluk Egypt

The article considers the strengthening of the Turkic factor in Egypt after the Mamluk Emirs, natives from the Khwarezm, Turkmen and Kipchak tribes, who came to power in the second half of the XIII century. The influence of the Turkic factor affected all aspects of life in Egypt. Under the leadership of the Turkic Emirs, the Egyptians defeated the crusaders who invaded Egypt in 1248. This defeat of the 7th crusade marked the beginning of the General collapse of the Crusades. Another crushing defeat of the Mamluks led by Sultan Kutuz caused the Mongols, stopping their victorious March through the Arab world. As a result of these brilliant victories, Egypt under the first Mamluk Sultans turned into a fairly strong state, which developed agriculture, irrigation, and foreign trade. The article also examines the factors contributing to the transformation of Egypt in the 13-14th centuries in the center of Muslim culture after the fall of the Abbasid Caliphate. Scientists from all over the Muslim world came to Egypt, educational institutions-madrassas were intensively built, and Muslim encyclopedias were created that absorbed the knowledge gained in various Sciences (geography, history, philology, astronomy, mathematics, etc.). Scholars from Khwarezm, the Golden Horde, Azerbaijan, and other Turkic-speaking regions along with Arab scholars taught hadith, logic, oratory, fiqh, and other Muslim Sciences in the famous madrassas of Egypt. In Mamluk Egypt, there was a great interest in the Turkic languages, especially the Oguz-Kipchak dialect. Arabic and Turkic philologists write special works on the vocabulary and grammar of the Turkic languages, and compile Arabic-Turkic dictionaries. In Egypt, a whole layer of artistic Turkic-language literature was created that has survived to the present day. The famous poet Saif Sarayi, who came from the lower reaches of the Syr Darya river in Mawaraunnahr was considered to be its founder. He wrote in Chigatai (old Uzbek) language and is recognized a poet who stands at the origins of Uzbek literature. In addition to his known the names of eight Turkish-speaking poets, most of whom have nisba “al-Khwarizmi”. Notable changes occurred in Arabic literature itself, especially after the decline of Palace Abbasid poetry. There is a convergence of literature with folk art, under the influence of which the poetic genres, such as “zazhal”, “mavval”, “muvashshah”, etc. emerge in the Egyptian poetry. In Mamluk Egypt, the genre of “adaba” is rapidly developing, aimed at bringing up and enlightening the good-natured Muslim in a popular scientific form. The works of “adaba” contained a large amount of poetic and folklore material from rivayats and hikayats, which makes it possible to have a more complete understanding of medieval Arabic literature in general. Unfortunately, the culture, including the fiction of the Mamluk period of Egypt, has been little studied, as well as the influence of the Turkic factor on the cultural and social life of the Egyptians. The Turkic influence is felt in the military and household vocabulary, the introduction of new rituals, court etiquette, changing the criteria for evaluating beauty, in food, clothing, etc. Natives of the Turkic regions, former slaves, historical figures such as the Sultan Shajarat ad-Durr, Mamluk sultans as Kutuz and Beybars became national heroes of the Egyptian people. Folk novels-Sirs were written about their deeds. And in modern times, their names are not forgotten. Prominent Egyptian writers have dedicated their historical novels to them, streets have been named after them, monuments have been erected to them, and series and TV shows dedicated to them are still shown on national television. This article for the first time examines some aspects of the influence of the Turkic factor on the cultural life of Mamluk Egypt and highlights some unknown pages of cultural relations between Egypt and Mawaraunnahr.

Structural transformation in Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia: Patterns, drivers and constraints

AbstractThis study analyses structural transformation in three Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries: Tunisia, Morocco and Egypt over a large time period (1960–2010). We examine labour productivity evolution and structural change contribution to productivity growth over different sub‐periods. We analyze the contribution of different economic sectors to aggregate structural change in the three countries. An econometric analysis is also performed to identify the main factors underlying the intensity and the pattern of structural change. Results suggest that the three countries initiated and achieved some progress in structural transformation over the 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s. However, this process has stagnated at low‐income levels and has remained unfinished. Deindustrialization occurred at an early stage of development in the three countries, in contrast to that noticed in developed and emergent countries. The results of the econometric analysis suggest a significant and positive association between investment and structural change as capital accumulation increases the future productive capacity and triggers reallocative efficiency. The human capital quality and availability has a positive and significant impact on structural change. Trade openness is also expected to boost structural transformations. However, labour market rigidity hampers structural transformation.

Literacy and Adult Education in Egypt: Achievements and Challenges

This paper set out to examine the issue of Literacy and Adult Education in Egypt. The paper discussed the current status of Literacy and Adult Education in Egypt and the policies undertaken by either the Government or Non- government Organizations (NGOs) to provide programs to educate Adult Learners, and face the Illiteracy problem which remains one of the principal issues that limit the development and social transformation in Egypt. The paper followed the descriptive research method, and it concluded with some recommendations to explore alternative ways of improving quality and practice of Literacy and Adult Education programs under the rubric of lifelong learning. It argued that Literacy and Adult Education programs should help adult learners to improve their lives as individuals and as positive members in the community, especially after the Egyptian Revolution which called for “Aish, Horreya, Adala Egtema'eya!” or “Bread, freedom, social justice!”.

A novel three-direction datum transformation of geodetic coordinates for Egypt using artificial neural network approach

The geodetic datum transformation in-between local and global systems seen in the world are inspiring for the engineering applications. In this context, the Egyptian geodetic network has a limited observation for the terrestrial and satellite of the geodetic networks. Transforming the coordinates of the Egyptian datum, here we demonstrate the datum transformation in three directions from global to local coordinates that utilized the artificial neural network (ANN) technique as a new tool of datum transformation in Egypt. A conventional, which are the Helmert and Molodensky, and numerical, which are the regression, minimum curvature surface, and ANN, datum transformation techniques are investigated and compared over the available data in Egypt. The results showed an accurate transforming datum using ANN technique for both common and check points, and the novel model improved the transformation coordinates by 37 to 72% in space directions. A comparison between the conventional and numerical techniques shows that the accuracy of the developed ANN model is 20.16 cm in terms of standard deviation based on the residuals of the projected coordinates.

At the Intersection of Social Entrepreneurship and Social Movements: The Case of Egypt and the Arab Spring

With a history of civic associations turned political, and an ongoing sociopolitical transformation in Egypt, social entrepreneurship (SE) has proliferated as an alternative to traditional forms of civic engagement such as charities on one hand and open activism on the other. Yet, situated between a desire for change, and the overpowering state and market logics, SE has been both limited and shaped by neoliberal and local-authoritarian visions. Using Egypt as the case, this study combines in-depth interviews with civil society practitioners, and field observation at an SE incubator, to examine how SE came to embody a desire for change using publicly sanctioned logics, all while enacting practices that preserve/revitalize a social movement in abeyance. By examining SE as part of a larger phenomenon in this particular moment of transition, this timely research allows us to investigate a link between social movements and SE not as two separate phenomena but as different ways of approaching the same thing: creating social transformation.
