Dr. Abdalla EL-HABIL (Author)
March 2008 ,Pages 9-16

Abstract: Abstract In this empirical study, modeling the exchange rate of the Jordanian Dinar and US Dollar against the Israeli Sheikl is done by using the ARIMA and Transfer Function models. I demonstrated the importance of outlier detection and adjustment through the parameters significances and the moderate change in forecasted values. I come up with the conclusion that the transfer function forecasts better track the data as compared to the ARIMA forecasts. By this study, I added new empirical evidence on the important of transfer function modeling that is forward-looking. It will capture both the immediate and longer term effects of intervention. .

Dr. Bashar Al-Shakarji, Mayada Taj-AL-Din (Author)
March 2008 ,Pages 70-90

Abstract: Abstract The indicator is a numeric value used in measurement of changes happens in the capital market as well as stock markets. There are many advantages for the indicator such as it is used to summarize the total market performance if it is expression in honesty level about all items in building it. Value method is regarded as one of the most potential methods in constructing indicators. Several international and Arab financial markets have been demonstrated. Saudi Arabia is amongst the Arab world financial markets as to have huge value assets (Riyadh Stock Market). The research quests, however, for the possibility that the indicator may reflect the market performance, then the current economic situation in the country. The study has been delineated in terms of two aspects: First: the conceptual one is a group of concepts on the indicator, usage and the way that the construction has been furcated. Additionally, the international indicators were taken in this context. The conceptual one has recreated a facility for the analytical (Second) aspect. Daily and monthly issued data by financial market periodically for year 2006 and on web site were managed. On this basis, aspects have been tested on the research problem. Consequently, the research concluded a group of results that the indicator reflects on market situation and the economic performance, because there is a vast variance on the sector level, as well as the rate of company’s shareholding in the gross market values that may drastically be postulated in constructing the indicator. .

Mohammed Al-Kusaimy (Author)
March 2008 ,Pages 91-109

Abstract: Abstract The current study tries to shed light on the phenomenon of change resistance, which is considered one of potential negative phenomena that may be attributed to the failure of any effort exerted to develop the organization. Many researchers tried to explain this phenomenon that may be affected by the administrative approach used to encounter it. Adopting suitable administrative technique perhaps contribute a considerable extent in decreasing such resistance. To invest the theoretical frameworks of this subject in the fields, this study deals with the problem of change resistance in the General Company for Ready - Made Clothes Industry in Mosul City and guides the administration's efforts to choose the suitable administrative approach. The current study adopted a questionnaire prepared for this target and distributed among managers of intermediate administration in the company. Analyzing the data statistically, it became obvious that there is a significant correlation between the change resistance and the administrative techniques required to encounter it. The study showed some suggestions. The most distinct one is the necessity of establishing and spreading education of change as well as participating administrators in change the decisions - making for the interest of company. .

Dr. Sarmad AL- Jameel, Hasan Al – Abbas (Author)
March 2008 ,Pages 111-138

Abstract: Abstract The notion of value at risk has been seen as a method that can be broken down to demonstrate the facets of the risks in the business institutions especially the fanatical ones. The value at risk can generally be manipulated as an accurate module to estimate the worst loss expected through the temporal range founded under the market natural conditions on the one hand and the identified level of trust on the other. The current study is subjected to the real financial notifications by markets. The generative notifications were from 1998 to the 12th of 2002 that represented 60 notification allocated to the revenues, the market prices and the merchant period and the artificial neural networks (ANN) has been used in order to testing hypothesis. The most prominent results of the study are the difficulty to integrate the concepts of value and risk management that can never be true in all circumstances. This can be reflected to the formulation of decision-making process under the risk conditions. .

The researcher opinions are to be mostly challenging to the accountancy as a way of fallacy. It may evacuate this profession out of goals via providing valuable, objective, normality and truthful data. It is the selection of the skilful accouter to the best way that may keep coming with the context. The required flexibility is included in terms of the alternatives and methods of accountancy, if there was according to the accountancy system, if it not there would be a sort of swindle and fallacy. The standards of accountancy has sought flexibility to the account anent within the alternatives, on the basis that h/she has to choose the more rightful way to the activity of the economy of company.

A Genetic Algorithm in Scheduling Processes with Non – Permeability
Isra Alkallak, Ruqaya Sha’ban (Author)
March 2008 ,Pages 245-256

Abstract: Abstract The current paper tackles the combination of the genetic Algorithm with scheduling the multiprocessor by browsing the two algorithms for dependent tasks and non preemptive. The first algorithm is the highest level first estimated time (HLFET), and the second algorithm is smallest co -level first with estimated time (SCFET). The genetic algorithm proved to be powerful, efficient and appeared the feasible solution among many solutions; that minimize the schedule length (execution time) to find the optimal scheduling. In this research, it is proposed a genetic algorithm that finds a good combination of two list algorithms to produce a schedule with shortest schedule length. The results of the experiments showed that scheduling found with the proposed two list scheduling genetic algorithms outperform those found with each one of the two lists scheduling alone. .
