<p>The main purpose of this study was to measure the extent of acceptability of Arabicized business terms. The present study investigated the attitudes of business students toward the Arabicization of business terms. Besides, it drew attention to the criteria of acceptability to be taken into consideration in the Arabicization process to produce acceptable business terms. Finally, it brought into focus the role of gender, university affiliation, and specialization in the Arabicization process of business terms. A total of two hundred questionnaires were distributed to business students at the University of Jordan and Yarmouk University. It has been found that Arabicized business terms were moderately accepted by the users. Overall, users’ attitude toward Arabicized business terms was somewhat positive. Gender and university affiliation variables had influence on these criteria. Like the specialization variable, they caused different attitudes toward these terms. Enthusiasm toward the idea of Arabicization because of pan-Arab identity was strong. This study could be useful for Arabicization decision makers to get acceptable Arabicized business terms. It is the first step towards enhancing understanding of gender role in the Arabicization process. This study also has implications for further research into the importance of Arab nationalism in promoting Arabicized terms.<strong> </strong><strong></strong></p>

My last attendance at a meeting of the International Astronomical Union was forty-four years ago when it met in Paris in 1935. I do not doubt that my being asked to give an invited discourse at this meeting is a personal courtesy extended to me by your distinguished President recalling, perhaps, the years when he and I were colleagues together at the University of Chicago.I am aware that associated with my absence from these meetings for nearly half a century is the fact that during most of this period - if not all of it - my interests, at different times, have been outside whatever may have been the prevailing trends in the mainstream of astronomy. I am afraid that on this account, the point of view I shall present - retrospectively and prospectively - will not be in conformity with the trends currently prevailing. I must therefore begin by asking for your patience and for your forbearance.Dr. Blaauw, when he invited me to give one of the three discourses at this meeting, suggested that in selecting a topic I might wish to take into account the fact that this year is the centennial of Einstein’s birth. The subject of my discourse is in accordance with that suggestion.

This paper evaluates the history and cycling accessibility of Nova, a shopping centre established in Lund, Sweden, in 2002. The current situation was also analysed through observation and a literature review. Moreover, the study conducted a closer analysis of the history and role of the municipality based on further literature study and interviews with officials. The conclusion of the analysis indicates poor and unsafe bikeways caused by conflicts of interest between politicians, officials, landowners and the general public. It also depicts a situation in which the municipality’s master plan has been ignored, and, in contrast to the local goals, cycling accessibility at Nova has seen no significant improvement since the shopping centre was first established. The reasons for this, arguably, are a relatively low budget for bikeway improvements in the municipality, as well as a situation in which decision-makers have stopped approaching the subject, as a result of the long and often boisterous conflicts it has created in the past. Lastly, it must be noted that it is easy to regard the whole process of Nova, from its establishment to the current situation, as being symptomatic of the power structures between drivers and cyclists that still affect decision-makers at all levels.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the role of decision rules and agency in supporting project initiation decisions, and the influences of agency on decision-making effectiveness. Design/methodology/approach – The study this paper is based upon used grounded theory methodology, and sought to understand the influences of individual decision makers on project initiation decisions within organizations. Data collection involved 28 participants who were involved in project initiation decisions within their organizations, who discussed the process of project initiation in their organization and their role within that process. Findings – The study demonstrates that the overall effectiveness of project initiation decisions is a product of agency, process effectiveness or rule effectiveness. The employment of agency can have a direct influence on decision-making effectiveness, it can compensate for organizational inadequacies of a process or political nature, and it can be constrained in the evidence of formal and effective organizational practices. Research limitations/implications – While agency was recognized by all participants, there are clearly circumstances where actors perceive the ability to exercise agency to be externally constrained. The study is exploratory, contributing to the development of substantive theory. Theory testing as well as a more in-depth investigation of the underlying drivers of agency would be valuable. Practical implications – The study provides executives and individuals supporting the initiation of projects with insights on how to effectively influence the effectiveness of project initiation decisions, and the degree to which personal characteristics influence organizational dynamics. Originality/value – Most discussions of agency has been framed the subject as an executive- or board-level phenomenon. The current study demonstrates that agency is in fact being perceived and operationalized at all levels. Those demonstrating agency in the majority of instances in this study do so in exercising stewardship behaviours. This has important implications for how agency is perceived by executives, and by how agency is exercised by actors at all levels of the organization.
