Information and communication technology (ICT), Gross capital formation,
Openness, and Inflation are frequently well-thought-out as important drivers of economic
growth for all countries, and especially for developing countries. This study aims to
examine the effect of these factors no economic growth in Syria covering the period from
1995-2012, with main interest of the impact of ICT. To this end, the study utilized annual
time series data set over the period 1990 to 2010. Econometric techniques include testing
the stationary of data by applying (ADF) test and applying Autoregressive Distributed Lag
(ARDL) method of estimation. Moreover, Short run and long run estimates were found .
The paper confirms a negative and statistically significant relationship between the
economic growth and technology index in the short run, but the relationship becomes
positive and statistically significant in the long run. This paper confirms a negative and
statistically significant relationship between the economic growth and GFC in the short
run, but the relationship becomes positive and statistically significant in the long run,
where the relationship between openness and economic growth is positive both in the short
and long run, whereas the relationship between the inflation rate and economic growth is
negative both in the short and long run.
The research aims through his studies to determine the effectiveness of the
administrative factors in the application of multi-modal transport system. He also aims to
determine the effectiveness of logistical factors in the application of this syst
em, and assess
the extent of the efficiency of the nessessary infrastructure for the application of this
system. The researcher adobted to test his hypotheses on the preliminary data obtained
through a distribution of a questionnaire to the workers of the container terminal of the
Port of Latakia, the customs agents and shipping companies, and the number of the
respondents was about 60 people. The researcher used the "Student" test sample as one
sample in order to test his hypotheses. He conducted demographic descriptions for the
members of the sample,Cronbach's alpha coefficient to measure the stability was 0,911.
The study concluded: Poor logistic service in the container terminal at the Port of
Latakia and the weakness of qualified and trained staff to use the method of transport.
The researcher found at the end of the study: The need to update all the infrastructure
related to each place and take advantage of the geographical location of Syria.
The study aimed to look at the reality of the application of
information and communication technology in small and medium
enterprises in Syria, and stand on the most important requirements
for effective use of this technology is effective. The stu
dy sample
included an administrative 96 in a number of small and medium
enterprises in the cities of Latakia and Tartous during the first half
of 2015 represented. the most prominent results of the study that the
most important requirements for activating the use of technology in
institutions under consideration is the availability of qualified
trained and reduce the cost of the use of technology and the
development of the necessary infrastructure, In addition to the type
of activity, which plays an important role in the extent of the use of
technology.
Maritime transport is considered to be one of the most liberal and open industries having really complicated and sophisticated market systems. This sector is prominent in international spread and intensive in capital.
It significantly contributed to
the development of international
economy in general and to economic globalization in particular.

This research deals with information and communication
technology and its application in lattakia port in which study the real condition of IT in lattakia port with an analysis of the information system applied in lattakia international container terminal (Lict) and its utilization in internal and operational processes and the possibility to benefit from it in lattakia port.
Based on the results, this research will offer some recommendations to accelerate the automation of all joints of work at lattakia port to achieve an integrated electronic management of the port of lattakia.
The medical and pharmaceutical education is witnessing a real revolution with
