"Gardens Of The Devil" A Report From Western Egypt, Dennis Barlow Feb 1999

"Gardens Of The Devil" A Report From Western Egypt, Dennis Barlow

The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction

Sometimes the creation of a new policy or international initiative can produce unexpected results. Such is the case in the desert of Western Egypt where the legacy of mine warfare of World War II warriors is only now being assessed seriously through the focus of current mine action activities. Despite the fact that the great armies of Field Marshals Montgomery and Rommel fought in North Africa almost sixty years ago, the legacy of those surges and counter surges, sieges and counter sieges, is still being felt by the inhabitants and Bedouins who live or travel there.


Different Approaches To Modelling The Monetary Demand Function For Egypt, With Particular Stress On The Money-Income Relationship, Srdja Ivekovic Feb 1999

Different Approaches To Modelling The Monetary Demand Function For Egypt, With Particular Stress On The Money-Income Relationship, Srdja Ivekovic

Archived Theses and Dissertations

In this paper we attempt to construct a money demand function for Egypt, as determined by income, interest rate and inflation. The exercise was performed on quarterly data (1980:4 to 1996:4), but since a representative activity variable is not available at any frequency higher than annual, we had to generate quarterly GDP series assuming an ARIMA process. DF and ADF tests for stationarity and the ratio­-to-moving average test for seasonality were pe1formed, while the HEGY procedure was used to confirm the results of the simpler procedures. The series were found to be 1(1) and there was no evidence of deterministic …

The Decline Of Female Circumcision In Egypt: Evidence And Interpretation [Arabic], Omaima El-Gibaly, Barbara L. Ibrahim, Barbara Mensch, Wesley H. Clark Jan 1999

The Decline Of Female Circumcision In Egypt: Evidence And Interpretation [Arabic], Omaima El-Gibaly, Barbara L. Ibrahim, Barbara Mensch, Wesley H. Clark

Poverty, Gender, and Youth

Female circumcision is widespread in Egypt. Research suggests that the practice persists because of a belief that circumcision will moderate female sexuality, that it will assure a girl’s marriageability, and that it is sanctioned by Islam. Using data from a nationally representative survey of adolescents, this paper investigates the prevalence and social correlates of circumcision among girls aged 10-19, the circumstances surrounding the procedure, and the attitudes of adolescents towards it. While the vast majority of adolescents are circumcised, a life table analysis indicates that girls today are at least 10 percentage points less likely to undergo female circumcision than …
