Investigating the impact of the K-means clustering algorithm on SVM model performance in the task of predicting the exchange rate of the Syrian pound
type: item
description: This research investigates the impact of the K-means clustering algorithm on the performance of a Support Vector Machine (SVM) model in predicting the exchange rate of the Syrian Pound against the US dollar. This study holds significant relevance given the substantial fluctuations observed in the Syrian Pound's exchange rate and its direct impact on the Syrian economy. The study utilizes daily time-series data for the exchange rate, spanning from the beginning of 2015 to mid-February 2024, comprising 3333 observations. SPSS26, RStudio, and Orange Data Mining were employed for data analysis and algorithm implementation. The K-means algorithm was initially applied to cluster the data. Results indicated the algorithm's success in classifying the data into two statistically distinct clusters, suggesting underlying patterns within the exchange rate data. Subsequently, the SVM algorithm was applied to predict the exchange rate, first without utilizing K-means as a preprocessing step and then with its inclusion. The findings demonstrated a notable improvement in the SVM model's performance when K-means was employed as a preprocessing step. Specifically, the Mean Squared Error (MSE) decreased by 47.23%, the Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) decreased by 27.28%, and the Mean Absolute Error (MAE) decreased by 18.21%. Conversely, the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) increased by 31.81%. However, a substantial increase in the coefficient of determination (R²) by 52.32% indicates a significant improvement in the model's ability to explain the variance in the data. Based on these results, the study recommends incorporating K-means as a preprocessing step to enhance SVM performance in exchange rate prediction. Furthermore, it recommends future research encompassing longer time periods and employing advanced analytical techniques such as deep learning.

The Asymmetric Effects of Inflation and Unemployment on Economic Growth in Syria Using the NARDL Approach
type: item
description: This research aims to analyze the asymmetric effects of unemployment (UEM) and inflation (INF) on economic growth (EG) in Syria during the period 1990-2022 using the Nonlinear Autoregressive Distributed Lag (NARDL) model. Annual data was utilized, and the model was designed to examine the impact of positive and negative shocks of the independent variables on economic growth while analyzing both long- and short-term relationships. The methodology included selecting the best-fitting model using the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), estimating the long-term equation by incorporating the effects of positive and negative shocks of both unemployment and inflation, and conducting a bounds test to verify the presence of cointegration among the variables. Shock analysis was also employed to investigate the evolution of variable impacts over time.The results of the long-term equation revealed that negative shocks in unemployment (declining unemployment) significantly enhance economic growth, with a coefficient of -2.205 at a high level of significance (0.0005). In contrast, positive shocks (rising unemployment) exert a stronger negative impact, with a coefficient of -3.283. Regarding inflation, positive shocks demonstrated a weak positive effect on economic growth, with a coefficient of 0.066 at a significance level of 0.0431, while negative shocks had a more pronounced negative impact, with a coefficient of -0.185 at a significance level of 0.0045. The study recommends implementing economic policies aimed at sustainably reducing unemployment rates and enhancing price stability to mitigate the adverse effects of inflation. Additionally, it emphasizes improving the mechanisms by which the economy responds to unexpected economic shocks.

Analytical study of the relationship between investment and trading volume in the Damascus Securities Exchange
type: item
description: The aim of the research was to study the relationship between public and private investment and the trading volume of companies listed on the Damascus Stock Exchange, with the presence of controlling variables such as the inflation rate and the exchange rate, during the period from 1/1/2010 to 12/1/2021. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model was used. A descriptive analysis of the data was conducted using descriptive statistics to understand the distribution of the data and identify the presence of extreme values. The stationarity of the variables was then tested using unit root tests (Phillips-Perron) to ensure the validity of the ARDL model. The ARDL model was then estimated and the long- and short-term relationships between investment, inflation rate, exchange rate, and trading volume were evaluated. The research results showed a statistically significant relationship between investment and trading volume in the Damascus Stock Exchange, but this relationship is complex and multifaceted. The negative impact of private investment may be due to the increase in mergers and acquisitions as a result of the growth of private investment, which reduces the number of listed companies and thus the trading volume. Also, companies may resort to loans instead of increasing capital by offering new shares. The weak positive impact of public investment: is explained by the government's role in improving the infrastructure and creating a more attractive investment environment, which is positively reflected in trading activity in the market. However, the weakness of this impact indicates the existence of other factors that have a greater influence on investors' decisions and limit the effectiveness of public investment in stimulating trading.

International Legal Protection for the Climate: A Critical Analysis of the Kyoto and Paris Agreements and Implementation Mechanisms
type: item
description: The world is witnessing increasing impacts of climate change caused by industrial activities and greenhouse gas emissions, threatening ecological balance and negatively affecting human and other life forms. This research explores the international legal framework for climate protection, providing an in-depth analysis of key international agreements such as the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, and the 2015 Paris Agreement. The study focuses on evaluating the legal provisions of these agreements and their efficiency in compelling countries, especially major industrial nations, to reduce emissions and adhere to sustainable development. The significance of this research lies in identifying the shortcomings of agreed international enforcement mechanisms and the weak integration between national and international legislation, which hinders the achievement of climate objectives. The study also examines the role of international organizations, such as the UN Security Council, in addressing climate change as a threat to global peace and security, and the role of international courts in promoting state accountability for climate pollution. The findings highlight that while international agreements provide a robust legal framework, they lack clear and effective binding mechanisms. The study recommends the establishment of a specialized international agency to monitor climate commitments and enhance international cooperation. It also advocates for amending withdrawal clauses in agreements to ensure continuity of obligations. This research makes a significant contribution to understanding the legal challenges of climate protection and emphasizes the need for a more comprehensive and binding legal approach to achieve long-term environmental sustainability.

The Impact of Digital Transformation of Public Services on Economic Growth A Comparative Study
type: item
description: This study aims to assess the impact of digital transformation, specifically e-government development, on economic growth in three countries: Estonia, India, and Rwanda. Using data on the E-Government Development Index and Gross Domestic Product for these countries, a statistical analysis was conducted to determine the relationship between the two variables. The results showed a significant positive correlation between the E-Government Development Index and GDP in both Estonia and Rwanda, while no such relationship was found in India. These differences were explained based on several factors, including digital infrastructure, population size and geographic diversity, political will, digital literacy and skills, and socio-economic challenges. This study seeks to provide insights into the factors that influence the success of digital transformation and promote economic growth.

Islamic Banks Commitment to Risk Information
type: item
description: The research addresses the commitment of Islamic banks to disclose the risks accompanying their investment operations, highlighting the importance of this obligation as part of risk management and the protection of investors' rights. The study defines the concept of the obligation to disclose, emphasizing the absence of a clear legislative definition in Syrian laws, and explores the legal foundations based on general rules in civil law, consumer protection laws, and the legislative decree specific to Islamic banks. The scope of the obligation revolves around the types of risks that must be disclosed, such as credit abuse risks, transferable commercial risks, and risks associated with financing structures like Mudarabah, Murabaha, and Musharakah. The research also examines the temporal scope of this obligation, noting that it is not limited to the pre-contract period but extends throughout the duration of the contract, reinforcing the principle of periodic and continuous disclosure. The study provides a comparison of banking regulations in Syria, Malaysia, and the United Arab Emirates, highlighting Malaysia and the UAE's advanced mechanisms for risk disclosure and stringent penalties for violations. This underscores the need for Syrian legislation to develop its legal framework in this domain. Among the key findings of the research is the absence of a clear legislative definition of the obligation to disclose in Syrian law. Additionally, it stresses the necessity of establishing clear legislative oversight and adopting modern technologies to enhance transparency. The study recommends implementing legal mechanisms to ensure good faith and improving local practices based on international experiences, contributing to increased customer trust in Islamic banks.

type: item
description: This research aimed to explore the most important artificial intelligence tools that can be used to enhance researchers' capabilities in scientific research and to examine the reality of their usage by graduate students at Tishreen University. The researcher adopted the experimental approach through testing these tools, and the survey method, organizing a questionnaire distributed to 351 graduate students at Tishreen University. Of these, 342 responses were received, with 128 questionnaires deemed unsuitable for analysis, while the number of valid questionnaires for analysis was 214. The research community consisted of 4,031 graduate students, according to the statistics of the Directorate of Statistics and Planning for the academic year 2022-2023. Appropriate statistical tests, such as the one-sample Student’s t-test, were used, and SPSS was relied upon as a tool for data analysis. The main conclusion was that there are motivations for graduate students to use AI tools due to their ability to search for, summarize, translate, formulate, and extract ideas from scientific articles with high quality. The researcher recommended the need to provide training programs to train students on how to use these tools and how to generate texts from them and rephrase them in the researcher’s own style, along with ensuring the availability of plagiarism detection software capable of identifying AI-generated text.

The legal validity of unsigned electronic writing
type: item
description: In light of the search for the legal validity of unsigned electronic writing as a means of proving electronic transactions in the relationship between electronic participants, this research addresses the study of the legal validity of unsigned electronic writing in Syrian electronic transaction law and some comparative laws. It does so by discussing the nature of unsigned electronic writing and defining its concept, clearly outlining its definition and the necessary conditions to be considered electronic writing. Additionally, it determines its legal nature in some Arab and Western comparative laws, examining whether it is equivalent to traditional writing in its evidential strength or whether it possesses specific characteristics and individual provisions. The research also assesses whether this unsigned electronic writing is considered a principle of proof by writing or a legal presumption, by discussing the concept of the principle of proof by writing as mentioned in general rules, and clarifying its availability in unsigned electronic writing. Furthermore, it delineates the concept of legal presumption as one of the traditional evidential methods, and whether the provisions of legal presumption apply to unsigned electronic writing. The study concludes with a summary that highlights the most significant findings and recommendations. It suggests amending Article 2 of the Electronic Transactions Law No. 3 of 2014 so that unsigned electronic writing functions as a principle of proof by writing and does not possess the validity of a legal presumption. This is because granting it the strength of legal presumption would render it a means of proof for every obligation that may be proven by personal evidence, which raises significant concerns if the document is issued by someone other than the individual against whom it is intended to be invoked. Moreover, it recommends establishing the National Authority for Network Services, as stipulated in the Electronic Signature La…

Justified slander
type: item
description: In this research, I discussed the crime of defamation stipulated in the Syrian penal legislation as a crime of insult. I dealt with the research topic in two sections, the first of which was about the nature of the crime of defamation by defining it, its pillars, its forms, and the nature of the violated right. As for the second, I talked about the two cases in which the legislator explicitly gave a reason to justify the perpetrator of the crime of defamation, and about other cases that were not explicitly stipulated within the framework of the texts that dealt with this crime, but are in fact a consecration of the principle of using the right stipulated in Article /182/ of the Penal Code. Finally, I reached a set of results in addition to a set of recommendations that contribute to enriching the research.

The Protecting State in the Context of International Crises: Between Theory and Practice
type: item
description: Establish a system of protecting states to enable the conflicting parties to continue dialogue regarding the protection of their populations. The agreements stipulate, since the beginning of the conflict, the necessity for each party to appoint a protecting state to ensure the implementation of the agreements and additional protocols. The appointed delegates of the protecting states are subject to the approval of the parties to the conflict with whom they carry out their duties. The idea of our research is based on knowing the extent of the effectiveness of the role of the protecting state in implementing international humanitarian law. This research was addressed with definitions of the protecting state، an explanation of the parties that assume the responsibilities of the protecting state، we also explained the tasks and powers of the protecting state، and finally we presented applied cases of the role of the protecting state. In this research، we explained the nature of the protecting state in the first requirement، and we also explained the tasks and powers of the protecting state and its application cases in the second requirement. In order to achieve the desired goal of the establishment of the protecting state، we proposed separating the work of the aforementioned state from the initiative or acceptance of the conflicting parties. In other words، in more brief terms، we see granting the aforementioned state delegated powers to carry out its tasks as soon as there is a need to use its services.

Measuring the impact of the challenges of adopting blockchains for banking accounting on Syrian banking performance
type: item
description: The aim of the research is to explore the challenges faced in adopting blockchain accounting, as well as the factors that may contribute to this adoption in the Syrian environment. This is particularly relevant given the observed weakness in adoption capabilities due to limited resources at some banks, especially in light of the rapid digital transformation being experienced across various sectors within the Syrian context. Thus, the goal of the research is to measure the reality of adoption challenges and indicate their highest levels, while assessing the impact of these challenges on the performance of Syrian banks. The research employed a descriptive analytical approach, and the questionnaire was directly distributed to employees in the accounting departments of public and private Syrian banks, yielding 62 responses suitable for analysis. The results indicated no statistically significant effect from economic, technological, organizational, or environmental challenges on banking performance. However, there is a statistically significant positive effect of the level of compatibility challenges of blockchain accounting with banks and the quality of blockchain accounting technology outputs on banking performance. The researcher recommends working to overcome compatibility challenges by providing the necessary infrastructure and equipment in order to achieve the highest level of output quality and improve banking performance, as demonstrated in the regression equation. Additionally, efforts should be made to address economic, technological, environmental, and organizational challenges, even though they did not show a direct effect on banking performance, due to their importance in developing banking operations, as they indirectly contribute to improving service quality.

The role of the judge in providing evidence in international commercial arbitration
type: item
description: Arbitration plays a pivotal role in the field of international trade, due to its many advantages that have made it a haven for resolving disputes related to international trade. However, arbitration still lacks the element of coercion and obligation when the issue is related to providing evidence or forcing the parties to facilitate access to it. In this case, the arbitration body must resort to the competent judiciary to assist it in forcing one of the parties or others to provide evidence and thus provide the sound basis on which the arbitrator will build his decision. This research will address the issue of the role assigned to the judge in providing evidence to the arbitration body by examining the most important means of proof in which this role is manifested, which are testimony and expertise.
