The problem of asylum and enforced displacement has become one of the major challenges defining the features of the 21st Century. The unjust dis-tribution of resources, economic crises, and high levels of unemployment are no longer the primary causes of the widely spread phenomenon of immigra-tion, rather, it is caused by the noticeable increase of wars, international con-flicts and political crises, as well as their multilateral effects of oppression, poverty, exploitation and insecurity. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has expressed this reality in a statement made on September 07, 2011, when he said: “We live in difficult times. Political crises are multiplying where we least expect them. Unpredictability became the name of the game.” The failure of the international community to bring many of the existing conflicts to an end and to avoid the eruption of other ones, has lead the in-stability situation to continue in so many places throughout the world. This has forced hundreds of thousands of individuals to leave their homelands. The figures are striking; by the end of 2017, the number of refugees and asy-lum seekers exceeded 65 million. With the changed nature of crises, their expanded range and prolonged duration, in addition to the limited available resources and capacities, the failure to meet the increasing needs of refugees and the States’ increasing fears of terrorism, the world community and international organizations started to look for effective tools to improve crisis response systems and use new technologies in a way that ensures the refugees living in dignity and se-curity in countries of asylum instead of approaching them as a burden and a crisis that must be dealt with. Here appears the role of bio measurements technology as an important tool to respond to refuge crises, including the management of such crises; first, by organizing the life of refugees and granting them ID cards in order to enable them to enjoy their basic rights in countries of asylum and then by changing that to an opportunity for development by working with them to develop their skills and know-how, so that they have access to safe and sus-tainable means of living, especially under the lack of economic and education opportunities and the strict policies applied against them. This must be the case until they manage to return voluntarily to their countries of origin. The human miracle always materializes in post destruction phases. The history proves that investment in human beings is the most effective way to achieve development and reduce the time needed by a country to rise again and that the more a country is destroyed, the bigger is its opportunity for reconstruc-tion. Based on that and as UNHCR is the agency in charge of organizing the conditions of refugees in countries of asylum and finding durable solutions for them, it registered Syrian refugees in the neighboring countries based on their biometric data. Giving them identities and documenting their events properly is the first step on the long road to solve most of the problems they face both in countries of asylum or when they return home. This includes the problems of documenting personal status events and increases the countries of asylum’s confidence in UNHCR’s systems through confronting the rele-vant challenges and worries, such as faking identities, fraud, counterfeiting, etc. At the same time, these data are hoped to facilitate the return of Syrian refugees to their county when the conditions and circumstances allow such return.

The work demonstrates the importance of calculation of zenith angel of the primer magnetic field of the transmitter-station through knowledge of the coordinates of both transmitter-station and measure- area due to the use of special equations. They h ave great importance for electromagnetically field measurements. The direction angels have been calculated for most famous transmitter-stations in some different areas of SYRIA (DRAA and SUWEDA). According to the results, these angels differed with the variation of coordinates of the transmitter in the same location, and some field measurements have confirmed this method.
Serum response factor (SRF) is a protein that regulates the transcription of several other genes. It regulates especially cardiovascular system developmental regulatory genes. This study which was based on the immunohistochemistry showed that SRF influence the brain and limb vasculature development in the mice embryo.
This study was carried out to determine the biodiversity of rodents and their distribution in Syrian Arab Republic, and to evaluate the role of owls as natural enemies against rodents. The investigation of owl pellets indicated that small mammals in general and especially rodents are the main food of owls. This investigation was able to identify ١٤ species, representing five families of rodents inside the pellets collected from different locations in Syria. these are: Microtus socialis.; Mesocricetus auratus; Cricetulus migratorius; Tatera indica; Mus musculus; Rattus norvegicus; Rattus rattus; Nesokia indica; Meriones tristrami; Meriones libycus; Meriones crassus; Allactaga euphratica; Jaculus jaculus and Spalax leucodon.
This study includes laboratory measurements using different models in order to determine the effect of wall-phenomenon on the electrical resistivity measurements, and field applications. This phenomenon had been studied in the case of homogeneous medium of which the resistivity is constant, and in the case of unhomogeneous medium, composed of two or three different layers. It is found that the effect of this phenomenon is the same although the medium resistivity is different or with the increase of the number of layers. This phenomenon changes according to the measurements conditions such as the measurements direction concerning the edge of slope or wall, the distance between AB electrodes, and the distance between the configuration and the wall.
In this paper, we study the importance of context in predicting the citation worthiness of sentences in scholarly articles. We formulate this problem as a sequence labeling task solved using a hierarchical BiLSTM model. We contribute a new benchmark dataset containing over two million sentences and their corresponding labels. We preserve the sentence order in this dataset and perform document-level train/test splits, which importantly allows incorporating contextual information in the modeling process. We evaluate the proposed approach on three benchmark datasets. Our results quantify the benefits of using context and contextual embeddings for citation worthiness. Lastly, through error analysis, we provide insights into cases where context plays an essential role in predicting citation worthiness.
