أجريت دراسة ترسيبية مفصلة للقطاع الجنوبي من الرصيف القاري السوري (N : 35.16022 E 35.92712 N 34.71354 E 35.94267) بغية تحديد طبيعة، و توزع وخصائص الرسوبيات البحرية الموزعة على كامل هذا القطاع. أظهرت دراسة العينات الرملية الشاطئية وجود تغاير لوني لرسوبيات المنطقة الواحدة مما يدل على المصادر المتنوعة لهذه الرسوبيات مستمدة في معظمها من المناطق الواقعة خلف الساحل. بينت العينات القاعية العميقة وجود ستة نماذج رسوبية ألا و هي: رمال؛ طين رملي؛ رمال حصوية بنسبة ضئيلة؛ رمال طينية حصوية بنسبة ضئيلة؛ طين رملي حصوي بنسبة ضئيلة؛ و أخيراً حصى. دلت النتائج على أن الرسوبيات المدروسة ذات حجم حبيبي متوسط، ذات فرز معتدل جيد، ذات ميل سلبي جداً و أخيراً متوسطة التفرطح. تؤكد هذه المعطيات على أن الترسيب قد حدث تحت تأثير ظروف طاقية معتدلة إلى عالية تتغير من مكان لآخر حسب طبيعة منطقة الترسيب و حجم و طبيعة المواد الموجودة في بيئة الترسيب من جهة، و تبعاً لشدة الطاقة المحركة للرسوبيات و المتمثلة في التيارات البحرية، الدوامات البحرية، و طبيعة الأمواج و المد و الجزر من جهة أخرى.
Detailed sedimentary study of the Southern section of the Syrian Continental shelf (N 35.16022 E 35.92712: N 34.71354 E 35.94267) has been carried out in order to determine the sediment nature and distribution. The study of coastal sandy samples (from beach to 2m water depth) revealed variation in the sand colours from place to place. This indicates that there are many sources for coastal sand mostly derived from the hinterlands. Six sediment sorting types were identified along the continental shelf and these are: Sand; Sandy Mud; Slightly Gravelly Sand; Slightly Gravelly Muddy Sand; Slightly Gravelly Sandy Mud; and Gravel. The textural studies clearly establish that the sediments are of medium grain size, moderately well sorted, very negatively skewed and mesokurtic. These parameters confirm that the sediments were deposited under moderate to high energy conditions. These conditions vary from place to another according to the place of deposition and the nature of the source material on one hand and the severity of the kinetic energy namely ocean currents, marine eddies, waves and tides on the other hand.

Detailed textural study of the Northern section of the Syrian Continental shelf
(N35.92991 E35.91785: N35.35752 E35.91542) has been carried out in order to determine
the sediment nature and distribution. The sediments are mainly coarse to very fine
-grained
particles, moderately sorted, negatively skewed to fine skewed and leptokurtic to
mesokurtic in nature. Interrelationship of various parameters shows bimodal nature of
sediments having dominance of mainly medium to coarse sand. The major part of the
sediment fall in coarse to very fine grained category (sand, silt and clay). Based on the CM
(Coarser one percentile and Median size values in micron) pattern, the sediment fall in
rolling and suspension field. These factors indicate that the sediments discharged from the
rivers mixes with offshore sediments and with the sediments eroded from a source rock.
Moreover, the wave energy conditions were high enough to disperse the sediments along
the shelf and passing it to the open ocean and later dispersing them by littoral currents.
SST satellite images analysis has showed many
characteristics for a lot of mesoscale eddies in the Eastern basin
of the Mediterranean Sea. In this study, the SST analysis is
focalised on the mesoscale eddies` formation at the Syrian coasts.
We are also interested by their characteristics for their influences
on the marine environment .
Rainfall is considered as one of the most difficult and complex elements of the
hydrological cycle, to understand and model, due to the complexity of air operations that
generate rain. The importance of research comes from the direct relationship b
etween the
rainfall amount and economic & social activities of the population, planning scopes of the
water resources management, particularly with respect to the agricultural development.
The research aims to highlight the rainfall amounts in Tartous station which is
located in the southern part of the Syrian coast, and applying one model of Box-Jenkins
models for the purpose of predicting future rainfall amounts. Multiple Arima models have
been tested. The results showed that the model SARIMA (3,0,4) was the best one. Data
were divided into 43 years to build the model and eight years to test it. The test results
gave high accuracy in the performance, and the model was used to predict the values of
annual rainfall for the next twenty years.
In this study, SST satellite images analysis (from
September 2015 to November 2016) is focalised on the
monitoring of the mesoscale eddies in the eastern Levantine subbasin
(at the Syrian coasts as well as the neighboring coasts).
The aim of this study is to identify the quality of health services provided in the
public sector hospitals in the Syrian Arab Republic. The paper adopts the analytical
descriptive approach where the phenomenon or the problem under study is describ
ed
accurately and expressed quantitatively and qualitatively. The comparison method is used
to identify the similarities and differences between the Syrian governorates. The secondary
data, available in the local Health Directorate and the Central Library of Statistics, are
reviewed. Some of them are selected to present comparisons, in addition to reference to
several secondary sources, such as studies and reports related to the study, to evaluate the
quality of the provided health services.
After analyzing the data, we found that Syria did succeed in improving the health
conditions of citizens through the study of statistical indicators related to health. Pertaining
to training, it shows the lack of the required level of quality of the offered health services
in hospitals at the time that training, especially in this sector to keep abreast of successive
global developments and successive which have great impact on the health services
quality.
