An Evaluation Study on the Reassembly of Inscribed Stone Pieces in the Grand Egyptian Museum
This research paper presents an applied study of reassembling inscribed stone pieces in the Grand Egyptian Museum. It covered one of the large archaeological limestone blocks divided into three parts. It was carried out in Saqqara excavations from the Kyiri Tomb, which dates back to the Eighteenth dynasty, numbered (1517GEM-CC) in the records of the Grand Egyptian Museum. The study was divided into two parts. First, inspection and analysis were c…
Related or Unrelated Variety and Economic Growth of South Asian Countries
Recent literature on knowledge spillovers argues that diversified economic structures are more conducive to knowledge spillovers than specialized structures: a concept that is generally known as Jacobian Externalities. It further argues that diversification can be further decomposed into two forms, that is, related variety (RV) and unrelated variety (UV). RV is the diversification of production in related or similar products, whereas UV is the di…

Examination and Analysis of a Painted Wooden Funerary Stela From the Late Period at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo
This study presents the results of various analytical techniques applied to a painted wooden stela in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. The examined elements of the stela included the wooden support, the prepared layer, and the various colors overlaying it. The techniques applied were the analysis of a cross-section from the wooden support using a USB digital microscope, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), X-Ray Diffraction …
An Analytical Study of a Late Period Multi-Piece Cartonnage From the Egyptian Museum in Cairo
The poor conditions of storage in the basement of the Egyptian Museum were the reason for severe damage to an unknown multi-piece mummy cartonnage dating back to the Late Period (780 BC-332 BC). This mummy consists of five separated pieces (a mask, a pectoral, an apron, a stomach, and a foot) on canvas support topped by a ground layer decorated with green, yellow, red, black, and white colors and a gilded layer.

Investigation and Conservation of a Private Photographic Collection of Albumen Prints, Egypt
Albumen prints are the most important photographic prints of the late 19th century. It is basically composed of two layers: the first layer is the paper support (i.e. cellulose), and the second layer is the image layer (i.e. image silver particles embedded in an albumen binder layer). There are several factors threatening the permanence of albumen prints (e.g., fluctuating temperatures and relative humidity, frequent handling, air pollution, ligh…
The Evaluation of Agarose-Based Gel Systems for Surface Cleaning Albumen Prints vs the Conventional Water Treatment
The albumen process was the main positive printing photographic process of the 19th century. Albumen prints form a significant part of historical collections, whether on display or in storage. Since pho-tographs are in high demand, they often suffer from improper and frequent handling, resulting in dirt and stains. Accordingly, albumen prints may benefit from surface cleaning. However, conventional treatments are very risky procedures which may c…

Integrating a Sport-Based Trauma-Sensitive Program in a National Youth-Serving Organization
There is a pressing need to equip youth-serving community organizations to respond to the unique needs of trauma-exposed children. Early prevention measures can be an effective means of redirecting children to self-regulatory healing, while facilitating their transition toward strength-based thriving. Sport can offer a powerful opportunity to reach these children; however there remains little information on how to effectively develop, deliver, ev…
The relationship between foreign aid and income inequality and the role of corruption
In this paper, we reassess the relationship between foreign aid and income inequality. The existing literature provides mixed evidence at best on the direction, magnitude, and significance of the relationship between foreign aid and income inequality. We contribute to the literature on this topic by differentiating between types of foreign aid namely: economic, social, production, multi‐sector, and humanitarian aid to determine which types of for…
Determinants of remittances by unskilled Pakistani migrant workers
Foreign remittance is the second-largest source of foreign exchange in Pakistan which makes international migrant workers key players in the balance of payments equation of Pakistan. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are the most common destinations for unskilled migrant workers from Pakistan. With the increasing costs of migration and the sluggish economic performance of the Middle East in recent years before t…
Impact of exchange rate and its volatility on domestic consumption in India and Pakistan
Consumption accounts for more than 70% of GDP in both Pakistan and India and both countries face high debt to GDP ratio as well as current account deficit. Consequently, exchange rates are usually volatile and they directly affect major economic indicators in the respective countries. Therefore, this study examines the impact of the exchange rate and its volatility on consumption in Pakistan and India using the time series data from 1980 to 2018.…
Economic Diversification and Human Development in South Asia
The paper examines the effect of diversification on social welfare in South Asia using the macroeconomic data for the period 1996-2011, with export diversification as a proxy of economic diversification. In this paper, three types of diversification are assessed (i.e. related, unrelated, and overall variety). While unrelated variety and overall variety show increasing trend over the years, related variety seems to show a non-linear inverted U-sha…
A novel acyclic diterpenic alcohol isolated from antioxidant active ethanol extract of leaves of Centaurothamnus maximus grown in Saudi Arabia
Background: Isolation and characterization of a new compound from the antioxidant active ethanol extract of leaves of an endemic plant Centaurothamnus maximus.Methods: The air dried powdered leaves of the plant was extracted successively with n-hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate and ethanol. The obtained extracts were concentrated under reduced pressure using rotary evaporator. The antioxidant activity was carried out on various concentration…
