Title | : | Banking Liquidity in Morocco |
Country | : | Morocco |
Authors | : | Mouhtadi Aouatif |
: | 10.9790/0837-19723439 |
Abstract: The latest financial crisis that shook the world and its effects continue to worsen, especially the successive failures of major international banks (Lehman Brothers in the United States for example) have returned to the center stage the issue of banking risks including liquidity risk. This risk must be currently managed by more sophisticated methods. The central purpose of this research is the analysis of the liquidity of Moroccan banking sector, because ultimately all proposed routes are articulated around it. Thus, monetary policy tends to naturally control the increase in the volume of money and quasi-money supply available to the agents of non-banking sector to make it compatible with the rate of change of the aggregate supply of goods and services, that is to say, the gross domestic product. This article provides evidence, based on a retrospective analysis of the various underlying causes of under bank liquidity

Abstract: The lack of equal access of people to safe and desired environment can add another dimension to the concept of social exclusion. The incorporation of the dimension of environmental justice can thus broaden the horizon of the concept of social exclusion. The paper thus attempts to understand social exclusion from environmental justice perspective and tried to understand the social exclusion of tribal people in North East India caused equally by the lack of safe and desired environment.

Abstract: Upon the citizens' completion of their formal education, media become their most accessible and sometimes the only source of information on scientific achievements, debates, events and scientists' work. Science and scientists are displayed in the mass media on a day-to-day basis. People gain the major part of their knowledge on science and scientists through television and other mass media. The present study was con-ducted to investigate the effect of mass media on increased public understanding of science. The population of the study consisted of all Isfahan citizens aged over 15 years old. A number of 384 citizens were selected as the participants using quota sampling method. Data analysis was done using SPSS and Amos software. The results showed that the mean score of public interest in the topics of science and technology was above average. The majority of respondents had a positive attitude toward science and technology though the findings revealed that the citizens' level of scientific knowledge was below the average. Moreover, the majority of people were found to gain their understanding of science throughout their lifetime so that they collect the information necessary for this understating from an array of situations and for various reasons such as the mass media. The variable 'mass media' obtained a Gamma coefficient of 0.36 in the structural equation model and proved to exert a sig-nificant effect on the public understanding of science. The fit indices indicate that the collected data well con-firmed the developed model.

Abstract: This study is a continuation of the previous year's work on the analysis of sociocultural constructivist interactions of Greek high school students (N=16) during an eight-month geographical and environmental research project in a social computing and specifically a free social bookmarking site, Diigo. All learning actions led students to reach the higher phase of sociocultural constructivist interaction, progressively developing essential geographic skills, creating an active social network (with remarkable distinction in the cohesion, power and role structures). The results also showed that the density value of students' interaction and the quality of their discussion were at a satisfactory level with most complete exchanges, throughout the project. However, there were significant differences in individual participation rates of students in the exploratory process (i.e., inactive, moderate, and active). This was important information for us and we needed to further explore the factors affecting the students' participation in corresponding actions. Searching the literature, we identified the factors, such as students' course performance, previous experience and a variety of sociodemographic characteristics with potential influence on their participation. Thus in this study, we correlated the activity and quality of students' project participation with the above factors. The results of correlation analysis suggest that their participation level was positively and significantly correlated with their previous experience in geographical and environmental actions at the 0.01 level. Also, their participation level was positively related to their gender and parental education level. On the other hand, there were negative but at a moderate level of correlation between their participation level and their performance in courses theoretical direction and financial stability.
