Abstract: Abstract The importance of this study lies in improving the knowledge of advanced manufacturing practices that leads to the crucial results in the global industrial companies on escalation of profitability, costs reduction, improving performance, consumer – services and other factors of success. Thus, the current study which draws upon the descriptive statistics aims at knowing the validity of global industrial ecology in Jordanian Industrial Companies. To achieve this aim, a questionnaire survey has been designed to all manufacturing companies listed in Amman financial markets that have holders in the primary of financial stock markets. The necessary tests were conducted statistically with % 95 confidence level for results. It is concluded that the Jordanian Industrial Companies have nine criteria of global industry, they are: competitive basis, manufacturing operation, working staff, quality in manufacturing, the nature of products, markets quality, data processing, management framework, concept of management. So, the companies have not had the tenth criterion that is an advanced manufacturing technology. .
Abstract: Abstract Windows messages are the heart of Windows operating system, since they have been used to communicate with other programs and the system. When Windows receives user events, the system sends them as messages to the programs, in order to respond to the user requests. So, the system controls other programs using these messages. When a program user attempts to intercept system messages, it gives the ability to manipulate and modify or even discard messages bound to other programs within the operating system, which offers a chance to change the behavior of these programs, and consequently control them. This research presents software to intercept some types of Windows messages sent to other running programs to either modify or discard them. Additionally, software offers an ability to monitor the active program (that have been intercepted their messages by the program researcher) as well as all messages received from the operating system. The researcher used Visual Basic 6.0 to develop the software .
Abstract: substitution methods to provide text files security. To provide authentication, a new method for calculating Hash functions was suggested to produce a message digest. The goal of this work is to detect any intrusion activities which includes disclosure, insertion, deletion, and rearranging of the text file while sending through computer's networks. .
Abstract: Abstract The learning and interactive programs are considered to be very useful ones, so they are easy to learn, because they are rich of data resources and may be alternative to the teacher, because the student will scarcely restricted by time, and the lesson would be open for the student in terms of time table. The interactive method has a greater impact than other, it makes the student participating with his hearing, sight and hand in reconstructing the application. In this research, a system containing enumeration and interactive learning has been adopted using Visual Basic language for the Visual Delphi language, since it is a strong development programming language that merges between the visual and OOP (Object Oriented Programming), in addition, there are little references follow this learning method. Two learning methods were used in this research: Enumeration that depends on playing a video file containing the lesson while the student listening, and the Interactive method that instruct the student to reconstruct the application by himself with sound and picture step – by - step until fulfilling the application. The lessons were divided into five branches and each of which contains 3 – 5 lessons with the interactive lessons included. .
Abstract: Abstract The current research aims at explaining the standard of overall equipment effectiveness and the way of application. The ability of better utilization of machines and equipments through adopting (Total Productive Maintenance Program) may work for achieving a high percentage utilization of it without need to the additional investments of machines and equipments, where TPM seeks to eliminate what is called “Six Big Losses” that may co occurred in the production process (breakdowns, setup and adjustment, Idling & minor stoppages, reduced operating speed, scrap and rework, and startup losses). So, this paper is an attempt to measure the success of Total Productive Maintenance programs through modeling a standard called “Overall Equipment Effectiveness” that indicating the amount of reduction or minimizing the six big losses associated with machines and equipments. Therefore, a program on computers has been designed in order to apply the standard of “OEE”. .
Abstract: Money Laundering Processes have increased in a notable way recently to form a huge body prompting many states to Confront those processes with all possible means. Starting From this point. The study attempts to shed lights on this phenomenon through studying the mutual effects between these processes and the hidden economy as they are unseparable. The signification of this research lies in analyzing the link between hidden economy and money laundering where the increament of one leads to the increament of the other. Hence when we deal with hidden economy we should recognize the place of its money laundering, and when we consider money laundering we should know how this participate in promoting hidden economy which in turn would aggravate the processes of money laundering. This research handles two aspects , the first is the concept of hidden economy and money laundering processes. In addition to viewing the relation between them ,as well as showing the status of hidden economy to the national economy , representing the theoritical aspect. The second aspect is the practical one dealing with the effect of the money laundering on the hidden economy , as well as the effect of the hidden economy on money laundering processes , then the impact of money laundering upon the public economy .
Abstract: Abstract The current study aims at using MACD index as one of the major analytical techniques in investment decision timing by investors in the financial markets. So, MACD is considered as one of simplest technical indexes that may draws upon moving averages as well as being much trustier and clear. A sample of four Gulf markets has been selected including the financial indexes of these markets from 1.1.2006 to 30.4.2006. The study hypothesized the following: Stocks prices are habitually moving within certain patterns and trends where could possibly help the investors to specify the investment decisions timing. The use of MACD index lead to the accuracy of investment decisions timing for investors. This study concluded: 1. The sample of most financial markets in the study were moving in certain patterns and trends that would help the investors to select investment decisions timing, this is in agreement with the first hypothesis of the research . 2. Using MACD index, the investors are currently able to time out their investment decisions. That would be in agreement with second hypothesis of the research. .
Abstract: Abstract Estate ( Built ) tax is considered as one of the important constituents of tax system in Iraq and especially in the Iraqi Kurdistan region. It is a typical direct income tax which is also dual and it has contradictory and bilateral effects.
