Phoenician in Greek Classical Sources (The study of the nature information about Phoenician according to Homerous and Herodotus)

The cities of the Canaanite civilization flourished on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean, and its centers extended from the Iskenderun region in northern Syria to Palestine, and it was famous for its cities: Ugarit, Arwad, Jbeil, Beirut, Tyre, Jericho, Acre and Gaza as major cities, with the presence of other smaller civilized centers. Part of this civilization has been spread in Syria and Lebanon. For example, the archaeological discovery of the centers of the Canaanite civilization, but the archaeological data provided by the discovered cities on the level of human civilization were very important, and it is an issue that raises the need for archaeological excavations, and the beginning of the historical Canaanite presence in its Syrian cultural and civilizational milieu. And if the Canaanite civilization left in its mother land, Syria, many achievements and cultural and cultural data, which is a rich field for historical and archaeological studies, but its cultural and civilizational radiation was not limited to the Syrian land, as it spread throughout the known ancient world, specifically in the West, where The Greeks knew it at the beginning of their civilization, and they called the Canaanites the name of the Phoenicians and their civilization, the Phoenician civilization, where their oldest historical and written sources spoke about the Canaanites, and provided a lot of important information about the Canaanite civilization. Hence, looking at the information related to the information contained in the original (Greek) sources, shedding light on it, and dealing with it with a scientific methodology to clarify it and present it to researchers and postgraduate students to benefit from it in its history and archaeology.

A Proposed Model for the Strategic Plan to Adopt BIM in Syria

"Strategic Planning in the Construction Sector: A Proposed Model for the Strategic Plan to Adopt BIM in Syria." Research Summary: Comprehensive strategic planning for the Syrian state is an inevitable necessity to address the catastrophic effects of the war that the country has suffered from, and its effects are still ongoing in light of government incapacity and gross failure that has affected all economic, industrial, and scientific aspects. This is reflected in the global development and knowledge indicators. Therefore, the Syrian state must adopt comprehensive planning concepts and strive to make knowledge its primary destination to create a strong economy and a strong industry ready for the upcoming reconstruction phase. It should adopt modern administrative concepts, cognitive and engineering sciences, and seek to incorporate them into its plans. Building Information Modeling (BIM) modeling may occupy the forefront of these sciences due to its great importance in transferring Syrian engineering work in the construction sector to advanced countries. Therefore, the study presented in its chapters the concepts of comprehensive planning and strategic planning on the one hand, and BIM modeling on the other hand, through analyzing and comparing current strategies to adopt BIM technology and the most important global trends and experiences, and identifying the most important obstacles and challenges that faced it. Then, the current situation of BIM technology was studied and analyzed, exploring the extent of its spread in the Syrian construction industry, with the aim of formulating a framework for integrating BIM modeling technology effectively within the life cycle of engineering projects in Syria, and proposing a strategic plan to adopt BIM in Syria. As a result, the research produced a set of findings throughout its chapters as follows: In chapter two, a model was constructed to integrate government plans that contribute to achieving the BIM plan. This was done through a comprehensive study of planning and strategic planning, as well as an examination of the reality of planning and the various government plans in Syria, which revealed weaknesses in both the planning mechanism and plan implementation mechanisms. In chapter three, a comprehensive study was conducted on the current situation of BIM adoption in Syria, and the problems and difficulties that hinder its implementation. The BIM maturity matrix was applied to companies in both the public and private sectors, revealing weaknesses in both sectors in terms of BIM adoption, despite the private sector's superiority in most areas. Based on this, a SWOT analysis was conducted on the current situation in Syria regarding BIM adoption, which indicated strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. In chapter four, a proposed framework was developed for implementing the strategic plan for BIM adoption in Syria. This resulted in a roadmap for BIM adoption in Syria from the beginning of 2023 until the end of 2030. In chapter five, the plan was practically applied to a performance management program called BSC DESIGNER, resulting in a strong and robust performance management system for implementing the strategic plan according to a timeline from the beginning of 2023 until the end of 2030. This research is a bold attempt by the researcher to complement various sciences within a comprehensive strategic planning framework. This research aims to reach decision-makers and help put Syria on the global BIM map by translating the plan's vocabulary and goals into practical reality that contributes to shaping the future of the construction industry in Syria. This study recommends coordination and cooperation between decision-makers and stakeholders in the construction sector to implement the proposed BIM adoption strategy through its four axes (policies, technologies, processes, knowledge, and skills) and secure financial support. Keywords: strategic planning, comprehensive planning, building information modeling, performance management, engineering projects, BIM adoption plan, Syria.

Roads Extraction from Satellite Images using Convolution Neural Network Model (Deeplabv3+) A Case Study in Lattakia city

The purpose of this paper is to extract roads from satellite images, based on developing the performance of the deep convolutional neural network model (Deeplabv3+) for roads segmentation, and to evaluate and test the performance of this model after training on our data.This experimental study was applied at Google Colab cloud platform, by software instructions and advanced libraries in the Python.We conducted data pre -processing to prepare ground truth masks,then we trained the model.The training and validation process required (Epochs=4), by(Patch Size=4images).The Loss function decreased to its minimum value (0.025). Training time was three hours and ten minutes, aided by the advanced Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) and additional RAM.We achieved good results in evaluating the accuracy of the predictions of the trained model (IoU = 0.953). It was tested on two different areas, one of which is residential and the other agricultural in Lattakia city. The results showed that the trained model (DeepLabv3+) in our research can extract the road network accurately and effectively.But its performance is poor in some areas which includes tree shadows on the edges of the road, and where the spectral characteristics are similar to the road, such as the roofs of some buildings, and it is invalid for extracting side and unpaved roads. The research presented several recommendations to improve the performance of the (Deeplabv3+) in extracting roads from high-resolution satellite images, which is useful for updating road maps and urban planning works.

Prediction of Electric Power Consumption Using RNN Networks

The electric power service in the Syrian Arab Republic suffers from many difficulties resulting from the lack of resources (fuel), in addition to the sabotage of many generation centers by terrorist groups, which led to the implementation of rationing programs in the governorates according to the consumption of those governorates and the production centers located in them. (factories, pumping centers, hospitals and the population). Forecasting electric energy consumption also requires knowledge of daily consumption quantities, consumption times and other influencing factors that constitute large amounts of data. Predicting the exact electrical load is still a challenging task due to many problems such as the non-linear nature of the time series or the seasonal patterns it displays, which are very time consuming and affect the accuracy of the prediction performance. The process can be improved by using RNNs.[2] Initially, the optimal and appropriate consumption for the region was determined, compared with production and the possibility of passing the surplus to other backup operations or providing production centers with the surplus that could be obtained through the previous forecasting process. Also, Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) were used, which are time series based on data sequences according to time indices and their ability to predict future values ​​based on past data. Then the performance of those networks was compared with DNN networks (Dense Neural Network) to obtain an optimal future prediction that can be served by the Ministry of Electricity in the Syrian Arab Republic and to solve the problem of predicting the electrical load compared to previous studies. The time-based successive division method has also been adopted, which has the ability to work more accurately for randomly sampled data. For cases of low regulation of the hourly data for wattage consumption, we can sample a set of data over time and take 20 percent of the data for example as training and test samples. Based on the prediction values ​​resulting from this study, work is being done to distribute electrical energy in the most appropriate manner and in accordance with the importance of higher usage.
