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 declining 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.

Research summary
تتناول هذه الدراسة قياس كفاءة محطات الحاويات في حوض البحر الأبيض المتوسط باستخدام أسلوب تحليل مغلف البيانات (DEA) لعام 2010. اختار الباحثون 12 محطة حاويات رئيسية وقاموا بتحليل كفاءتها باستخدام مدخلات مثل عدد روافع الرصيف ومساحة المحطة، بينما كانت المخرجات هي عدد الحاويات المتناولة. أظهرت النتائج أن معدل الكفاءة الفنية وفق نموذج عوائد الحجم الثابت (CRS) كان 49%، بينما كان معدل الكفاءة الفنية وفق نموذج عوائد الحجم المتغير (VRS) 69.3%. حققت محطة حاويات طنجة أفضل مستوى من الكفاءة التقنية والحجمية، بينما حققت محطات مرسين، الجيسيراس، وطرطوس الكفاءة الفنية فقط. أما بقية المحطات فلم تحقق أي كفاءة، مما يستدعي إعادة النظر في كمية المدخلات المستخدمة لتحسين الكفاءة الفنية.
Critical review
تعتبر هذه الدراسة خطوة مهمة في مجال قياس كفاءة محطات الحاويات في منطقة البحر الأبيض المتوسط. ومع ذلك، يمكن توجيه بعض النقد البنّاء لتحسين البحث في المستقبل. أولاً، كان من الممكن أن تشمل الدراسة فترة زمنية أطول لتحليل التغيرات في الكفاءة عبر الزمن. ثانياً، لم يتم تناول العوامل الخارجية التي قد تؤثر على كفاءة المحطات مثل الظروف الاقتصادية والسياسية. ثالثاً، كان من الممكن استخدام تقنيات تحليلية إضافية مثل التحليل الحدودي العشوائي (SFA) لمقارنة النتائج وتعزيز مصداقيتها. وأخيراً، كان من الأفضل تضمين المزيد من المحطات لتحليل أوسع وأكثر شمولية.

Internal and external data users are interested in financial data analysis, because of their need to obtain financial information about the company and to know the strength of its financial position. Although ratio analysis is always considered as one of the best financial statements analysis methods, but its interpretation is often difficult and controversial. Where each group of ratios can only show a single financial dimension, thus it may be difficult, when analyzing financial statements, tointe grate the results of different groups of financial analyses. So, an approach namely Data Envelopment Analysis, which is used in this research with Window approach by using variable returns of scale model, known as BCC related to researches Banker, Charnes and Coopers. In order to study the efficiency of the 19 subcompany of the General Establishment for food industries during the period 2008-2010. And also to study the direction of performance changes, in order to determine the best and the worst company through the company's efficiency using Super-Efficiency model. The study results showed that the number of efficient companies are six, and the number of inefficient companies are 13. Also showed that the Boken Water Company got the highest efficiency, and the company conserves Hasaka got less efficiency. All companies have less efficiency during the study period.
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.
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 t he 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.
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.
This study aims at measuring the cost performance efficiency of Syrian banking sector during the period 2006-2010. The selected period has been going through a lot of reforms to build an effective, efficient, competitive, and stable banking system . The study employs both parametric Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA), and non-parametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). These methods are used to evaluate the cost efficiency of Syrian banks. The study utilizes a one stage SFA model that includes input, outputs and the environmental variables (ownership structure, size, deregulation, market structure, and capital ratio) of cost efficiency measurements. Moreover, the traditional DEA model has been used with the aim of comparing the results of the SFA model. The results of SFA analysis indicate that the cost efficiency of Syrian banks is estimated to be, on average, 58.8%, while the DEA model results shows an average of 69.5%, the results also show that private banks are more efficient than state-owned banks using both SFA and DEA analysis. The study also found that large banks are more efficient than smaller banks.
