Abstract This chapter provides a checklist for the family Ormyridae. It provides information on species diversity, host records, distribution records by province in Iran, as well as world distribution. Comparison of the ormyrid fauna of Iran with adjacent countries indicates that the fauna of Iran (13 species) is similar in diversity to Turkey (12 species) and Russia (11 species), but more diverse than Kazakhstan (six species), Turkmenistan and United Arab Emirates (both with five species), Azerbaijan (three species), Afghanistan (two species) and Armenia, Iraq, Oman, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia (each with one species); no species have been recorded from Bahrain, Kuwait or Qatar. Russia and Turkey both share eight known species with Iran, followed by Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan (each with three species) and Afghanistan, Armenia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates (each with one species). A total of 44 species of Ormyridae from the Palaearctic region were recorded.

The countries of the Middle East are undergoing rapid change in many areas, and the field of education is illustrative. This is particularly the case for the members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC): Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The governments of the GCC are actively striving to lessen their dependence on both their petroleum-based economies as well as the large expatriate populations that make up the majority of human resources in the workplace. One of the solutions to greater independence is through upgrading the national educational systems. Educational technology plays a key role, both as a tool used in education as well as being a conduit toward embedding technological facility into every aspect of their economic development, and thus is an end in itself.

In the preface, the author mentions thatshe includes all references found in US libraries and the Libraryof Congress and does not include references from Arab countries. Shealso mentions that she was "selective" in her choices of what to includeand what not. For example, literature from the social sciences thatcontained a lot of stereotyping and biased information about Islam, Arabsand Arab society in general was excluded. Unpublished works alsowere not included. The author then describes her method of listing thebibliography: when there was literature available on the Arab world ingeneral, she included that, and then she would list the seven Gulf States inalphabetical order. If there were no references for a country, then thecountry is not mentioned and she jumps to the next country in that order.Part One contains only one chapter, which is the introduction. ElSannbarypresents an historical overview of the Gulf States, which is herfocus: Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UnitedArab Emirates. A map of the region is presented on page four. She surveysthe history and the present conditions of the seven states economically,politically and educationally. The rest of the chapter includes a one-pagesummary on all the topics, which are mainly the chapters that follow.Part Two comes under the heading "General Background andResources", and consists of three chapters. Chapter Two, "Context ofEducation", contains 165 entries.

Abstract Species from the family Encyrtidae are all endoparasitoids and some are polyembryonic. Many species have been used successfully in various biological control programmes in different regions of the world. This chapter provides a checklist for the family Encyrtidae. It provides information on species diversity, host records, distribution records by province in Iran, as well as world distribution. Comparison of the encyrtid fauna of Iran with adjacent countries indicates that the faunas of Russia (492 species) and Turkmenistan (246 species) are more diverse than Iran (236 species), followed by Armenia (174 species), Turkey (165 species), Azerbaijan (159 species), Kazakhstan (148 species), Pakistan (62 species), Saudi Arabia (47 species), Afghanistan (32 species), Iraq (seven species), United Arab Emirates (three species), Oman (two species), Kuwait (one species) and Bahrain and Qatar (no species). Among the adjacent countries, Russia shares 129 known species with Iran, followed by Azerbaijan (105 species), Turkey (98 species), Armenia (91 species), Turkmenistan (67 species), Kazakhstan (64 species), Pakistan (27 species), Afghanistan (17 species), Saudi Arabia (16 species), Iraq (five species), United Arab Emirates (three species) and Oman (two species).

Competition between nations is essential in achieving prosperity and economic development. Nations cannot have competitive advantage in all aspects. Some nations enjoy competitive advantage in specialized areas, for example, Switzerland has a competitive advantage in the watches industry, while Italy has competitive advantage in the shoes industry. Competition advantage relates to nation’s productivity, which is explained by nation’s output value per a unit of capital or labor, in a cost effective and efficient manner. Initially economists believed that country’s national resources, labor force, interest rates, as well as currency value are the key determinant of nation’s competitive advantage. This paper presents different aspects of prosperity in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and compare it with that in Saudi Arabia.
