In the light of the circumstances in the contemporary world of privatization, this research aims to study the effect of the privatization on the technical efficiency of container terminal using Stochastic Frontier Analysis, the study has applied on the most important Mediterranean container terminals. The results concluded that the technical efficiency rate was 76.17%. The full private ownership of container terminals does not reflect the high levels of technical efficiency. The full public ownership of container terminals also did not reflect the high levels of technical efficiency, but it is the best of the private sector. However, the technical efficiency of public container terminal can be improved with participation of the private sector, and advised partnership between the public sector and the private sector with rate of 38.5% according to the results of research.

The researcher analyzed the technical efficiency of container ports, place where various modes of transportation in a series of international multimodal transport, and increasingly important with the growing interest in the transfer of global econom y products by containers. Search has been applied on 61 container port in the Mediterranean, The research variables from the input side was: number of cranes, quays lengths and port area, and from the output side was: the number of containers, and the additional variables were: the quality of roads and railways in addition to the availability and use of technology communications in the process. The research has been used Stochastic Frontier Analysis in efficiency measurement and analysis of influences. The research found a positive correlation between the efficiency of the container port and the quality of road networks between transit and rail up the container port areas of Foreign Affairs, in addition to the port over the application and use of communications technology in operations.
Container terminals are different in the degree of service for container ships, which increased recently and especially in the Mediterranean, also differ in use of the amount of inputs required for operational process, which create the problem of d eclining technical efficiency of container terminals Mediterranean. Therefore, the researcher measured the efficiency (12) a major container terminal in the Mediterranean in 2010, using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Where the inputs: Number of quay cranes, and space of terminal, and the output was the annual throughput of containers. The practical results showed that the rate of technical efficiency – (CRS) was 49%, while the rate of technical efficiency – (VRS) 69.3%. Tangier container terminal achieved the best level of technical and scale efficiency, While Mersin, Algeciras, and Tartous achieved the technical efficiency only, while remaining terminals did not achieve any efficiency, Therefore advisable to reconsider in their used inputs to improve their efficiency.
The Mediterranean Diet is a healthy diet which protects from many diseases, but many factors could affect the adherence and vary from country to country. The purpose of this study is to assess the adherence to Mediterranean Diet of the sample, the n studying the economic and social factors and lifestyle which affect the adherence to Mediterranean diet. The sample was composed of 1000 people (516) women (484) men aged from 18-65 years from all the economic and social levels, they filled a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. we used the SPSS program.
This study aimed to measure technical efficiency of Islamic banks in Syria. This study used data envelopment analysis (DEA) method to estimate overall, pure and scale technical efficiency during the period (2010-2015). to that end, constant return to scale model and variable return to scale model was used. It has also been using windows analysis technique in order to follow banks performance during the studied period. This study also followed Intermediation approach for the choice of variables banking inputs and outputs.
The aim of this study to identify the impact of ownership’ structure criteria measured by managerial ownership and ownership dispersion on corporate performance measured by return on equity ROE, through sample contains of six Syrian private banks a nd six Syrian insurance companies for period between 2011 and 2016. The results showed that the managerial ownership effects on performance, while ownership dispersion does not affect on performance, as well as the relationship between these variables difference in term of industry the company belongs to. To enhance the performance of Syrian corporation, some recommendations have been presented by the end of study.
