Abstract: It's rational to distinguish between the rights of literary and artistic property rights, and the industrial property on the other side in consideration with the relation to the regime of moral rights of public law persons about the General inventions and innovations. Ipso fact, each of these rights fields run in different fields of the other. Thus, it concludes that each right will be regulated in independent and particular law and particular sources as well. Meanwhile, do public law person has the right to obtain or to gain artistic and rights of literary and artistic property? If so, how shall the public administration has the right to obtain it? And how shall those rights be guaranteed? And how shall that affect the rights of public administration employees. On the other side, there are many another ways to obtain the rights of literary and artistic property and industrial rights to the public administration; which ramify to mutual consent or agreement, or un-mutual consent or agreement.

Research Title: Evaluation Technique In The Spi-Calculus For Cryptographic Protocols

Author: Hasan Mohammad Al-Refai, Published Year: 0

Faculty: Information Technology

Abstract: Bisimulation as a technique could be well invested for proving authenticity and secrecy properties of cryptographic protocols to gain the legality of protocol optimization. In this paper, we will do some changes in the spi-calculus after the original work of M.Abadi and A.Gordon. Then we will introduce evade bisimulation following Abadi and Gordon’s framed bisimulation proposal, in which a convenient proof technique is presented. It will impose minimality requirements on the environment and detect the limit beyond which the bisimilarity is kept valid and furthermore it will avoid quantification over contexts. Also, it will give a solution for input transitions for the case of finite processes. Based on the revised spi-calculus would be used to prove that evade bisimilarity, an equivalence relation, is decidable for main security properties: Authenticity and Secrecy.

Research Title: The New formal method Calculus For Cryptographic Protocols

Abstract: The history of the application of formal methods to cryptographic protocols analysis spans over twenty years. Recently has been showing signs of new maturity and consolidation. This paper will introduce a new variant of the spi-calculus which introduced by M.Abadi and A.Gordan. By using this revised spi-calculus, which called spi-H-calculus, we will illustrate and prove that our calculi is decidable for main security properties: Authenticity and Secrecy than M.Abadi and A.Gordan .

Research Title: Calendar Anomalies in Emerging Markets: The Case of Jordan

Abstract: According to Fama’s Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) the market price of a security reflects all historical information. Therefore, one cannot consistently earn increased returns on the basis of price change predictions made on the basis of a correlation between past prices and future stock prices. In other words, stock prices move randomly and any predictable price change or observable patterns are called anomalies. Over the years, researchers have uncovered many anomalies in the market including: Friday the 13th effect, day of the week effect, Halloween indicator, good weather effect, daylight savings time, January effect, good mood effect, geographical distance, winning home-team effect, and presidential elections effect. For example, Nippani and Medlin (2002, Journal of Economics and Finance) studied the impact of the delay in the declaration of a winner in the US Presidential Elections of 2000 on the performance of stock markets (S & P 500, DJI, and NASDAQ). There was a significant initial negative reaction to the delay in the election results. The reaction was for only 4 days and most negative reaction was noticed immediately after the delay occurred. The market adjusted for the delay after that (confirming the market efficiency concept). Many of these anomalies are known to those in the market and according to the efficient market hypothesis investors should take advantage of the return differences. However the phenomena still seems to exist. Furthermore, most previous research has focused on developed financial markets and few studies have included emerging markets.

Research Title: Dividend Yields Predictability of Stock Returns: Case of Emerging Markets

Author: Izzeddien Naef Ananzeh, Published Year: 0

Abstract: We investigate the cross-sectional pattern of stock returns for eight emerging markets using Vector Autoregressive Approach (VAR) to test whether dividend yields can predict stock returns through impulse response characteristics. Our results confirm that dividend yield shocks play an important role in driving fluctuation in stock returns and this relation is positive. These results reflect the fact that stock returns react positively to dividend changes either immediately or after short period of time. In some stock markets there is an immediate upward reaction by investors to dividend news like the case of Jordan, Morocco, Korea, and Malaysia. In some other markets like Egypt, Saudi Arabia,Philippines, and Thailand investors delay their investment strategies in the period immediately after dividend changes, to study the signal of dividend announcements

Research Title: Beta Wins Again: Case of four Emerging Markets

Abstract: We empirically investigate the cross-sectional behavior of stock returns in four emerging markets, namely, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco and Saudi Arabia. We use the “between estimator” panel data regression to test whether price-earning ratio, book-to-market ratio, market capitalization, and beta can predict stock market returns variations. Based on the results we still believe that Beta have a significant explanatory power in predicting stock market returns; the sign is positive. Other fundamentals fail the test.

Research Title: The Translation of Some Metaphorical Expressions in Shakespeares Hamlet

Author: Noor Shunnaq, Published Year: 0

Faculty: Arts

Abstract: This study is primarily concerned with the translation of 15 metaphorical expressions in Shakespeare's Hamlet. To fulfill this purpose, six Arabic translations of the play were subjected to analysis. The researcher analyzed the six Arabic versions of the play translated by six Arab translators , namely, Kiuaan, Hameed, Shaheen, Mohammad, Jabra ,and Jamaal in terms of fullness, appropriateness, and metaphoricity. During the analysis, the study pointed out some problems encountered by the translators as they tried to convey the metaphorical expression in question into the target text. Also, it mentioned the strategies of translation opted by the six translators. The researcher adopted the belief of some linguists and translators, e.g. Newmark ( 1981 and 1988), that metaphor is translatable. This study divided the 15 metaphorical expressions into two categories based on their types into: Original metaphors and cultural metaphors. Translating the original metaphors posed three lexical problems which were wrong-choice of diction, mistranslation, and deletion while translating the cultural metaphors posed cultural problems resulted from the use of Greek characters or reference to a tale that the target audience may not be familiar with. The present study revealed that metaphor is translatable. The six translators, sometimes , retained the metaphor in the target text fully and appropriately while in other times they failed to do so. Also, most of these translators opted for the strategy of alienation to convey the Greek characters. The study also revealed that the most appropriate translation was the one that maintained the metaphor of the source text. In order to do that, the translator needed not to demetaphorize the metaphorical expression in question. Finally, the study recommended that more critical studies should be conducted by comparing and contrasting the translations of literary works, particularly concentrating on the metaphor translation . Also, it recommended further studies on the translation of metaphor to compare its translation in literary works with its translation in different fields.
