AbstractThe United Arab Emirates (UAE) is situated near the Persian Gulf in the North Eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula. Established in 1971 by the late Sheikh Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE forms a federation of seven Emirates consisting of Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al-Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah (The Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah had officially joined the federation on the 11th of February 1972.), and Fujairah. Because of its diversity and cosmopolitan nature, the country has always been a crossroad and prime location for people and trade. As Islam and Islamic principles have influenced Gulf societies in the very core of its existence, the Islamic way of conduct in trade relations and dispute resolutions are an element of paramount significance. This Article explores the role of Shari’a Law and its impact on the economic development of Muslim and non-Muslim business relations in the UAE and in particular in the Emirate of Dubai. The law and development from an Islamic perspective introduces a new vision on the theories of law and development by addressing the influence of Shari’a Law in economic development. In international trade relations and dispute resolution mechanisms such as formal contract enforcements in the Dubai International Finance Centre (DIFC) and the Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC) the plurality of laws leads to the adoption of Shari’a Law over the Civil and Common Law regimes.

The early- and mid-Holocene deposits of the Lower Khuzestan plain at the north-eastern margin of the Persian Gulf have been investigated by means of facies analysis of sediment successions of undisturbed cores. Organic material and molluscs have been selected for dating by radiocarbon whereby possible contamination by hard-water effect is discussed. The results suggest that the Holocene transgression in Mesopotamia may have taken place later than generally accepted. Before ca. 7700–7900 yr cal. BP, the plain was characterized by mud-dominated fluvial systems. During the mid-Holocene, tides invaded the existing valleys, and the sedimentary environment shifted from fluvial to estuarine but not as extensively as has previously been suggested. The estuarine environments lasted for about 2000–2500 years until ca. 4850–5000 yr cal. BP when the seaward part of the plain was again characterized by widespread fluvial sedimentation.

In the summer of 1967, when Nigeria's first federal constitution had been virtually shattered by two bloody military coups, and when it looked very likely that the Eastern Region might try to secede from the Federation, a military decree was promulgated dissolving the four former Regions, and replacing them by a new structure of 12 States (see Map I). In the following pages the largest of these will be considered, namely the North-Eastern State, in order to assess the prospects of its survival as an entity and of its economic development in the years to come.

Econometric Approach

An understanding the linkage between human development and poverty in general and economic development in particular is very imperative in emerging economies in the globe. The objective of this paper is to study the regional variation and causality between human development and poverty in the north-east India. The major finding of this paper is that there exists significant regional variation between human development and poverty in the north eastern states of India. While human development is substantially high in Mizoram and Manipur, it is low in other states. On the contrary, poverty is very low in Mizoram and Manipur, while it is considerably high in other states. The estimated results confirmed that human development (and its individual indicators) has a significant role to alleviate poverty in the north east India.

Цель исследования – определить особенности социально-экономического развития северо-восточной части Оренбургской губернии в первой половине XIX века. В статье рассматривается ресурсы и сдерживающие факторы развития товарно-денежных отношения населения, а также становление торговли и участники торгового процесса в Оренбургской губернии. Научная новизна исследования заключается в том, что рассматриваемая в статье проблема частично освящена в исторической среде. На основе изученных фактов автор приходит к выводу, что произошел кризис используемого способа производства, крепостническая система начала в полном объеме преобразовываться – от аграрного к капиталистическому строю, развитию товарно-денежных отношений в свою очередь способствовало становление Центрального промышленного региона, где концентрировались помыслы и промышленные точки страны.

Abstract: The article analyzes a Roman thin-cast bronze saucepan discovered in the Dacian fortress from Ardeu (Hunedoara County, Romania). The authors argue that the object belongs to a small group of similar discoveries whichcomprises a variant of the thin-cast saucepans belonging to Petrovszky type III. The saucepan was produced between the last two decades of the 1st century BC and the third decade of the 1st century AD in a workshop which can belocated in the north-eastern part of the Italic Peninsula, probably at Aquileia.This is the first discovery which attests with certainty the existence of the thin-cast saucepans in the north Danubian territory, element which is important in the context of the trade relations developed along the route connectingAquileia with the Sava Valley and the Danube during the Augustan Age.

Socio-economic development is an indispensable part of an individual's livelihood. This paper critically analyzed the socio-economic effect on the ban of commercial motorcycles in the North Eastern States of Nigeria. Data were collected through questionnaire, interview and observation. Statistical and non-statistical methods of data analysis were employed. Hypothesis was tested using Pearson's product correlation coefficient. It was recommended that government should establish Youth Training Centre and the creation of entrepreneurial atmosphere for the unemployed to tackle any form of economic recession.

The article examines the pottery production of the Tunisian city of Nabeul, the administrative center of the province of Cap Bon, located in the north-eastern part of the country, on the Mediterranean coast. Modern Nabeul is situated on the site of the ancient city of Neapolis. A common occupation of local residents — pottery — is due to the large deposits of marl clays available in the district. The origins of this craft originate in the first centuries of our era, when the Romans founded their city on the site of a small Greek trading settlement and brought here their traditions of pottery. Archaeological surveys in Nabeul and its environs have revealed the existence of several pottery workshops engaged in the manufacture of both large ceramic containers — amphorae, and fine tableware imitating the Roman Terra sigillata. From here, Nabeul ceramics spread throughout the Mediterranean and was discovered in archaeological sites in Libya, Egypt, Spain, Britain and other regions. This phenomenon illustrates trade relations between various provinces of the Roman Empire. Nabeul’s modern pottery production, oriented both to the domestic market and tourists, also focuses on the production of large forms and richly ornamented tableware, the decor of which generally reflects the style of Islamic glazed ceramic products, but is more closely related to the style of modern Arabic ceramics of the Maghreb countries, especially Morocco. Also, Tunisian modern ceramics shows similarities in form, ornament and color palette with modern provincial ceramics in Spain, especially Andalusia, and probably has common roots.
