Yemen is the origin land of all Arabs in the Middle East. In ancient times,
Yemen was an important center of trade and power. Many powerful
kingdoms were located in Yemen, including the Sabaeans. Yemen was
important in the trade of spices as well. It was known to the ancient
Romans as Arabia Felix ("Happy Arabia" in Latin). They called it Happy
Arabia because the area was so beautiful and powerful.
Yemen is the second largest country in the Arabian Peninsula and famous
for coffee and kind hearted people.

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimitedWhy have Yemen’s counterinsurgency and counterterrorism polices been less effective against the Huthi movement compared to al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP)? This paper finds that the military’s poor counterinsurgency and counterterrorism policies, the international effort to combat AQAP, the Huthi’s ability to recruit and mobilize large numbers of followers, and the Huthi leadership’s pragmatic alliances gave the Huthis the advantage over AQAP and the Republic of Yemen. Yemen faces multiple security problems. Foremost, the country faces threats from various groups including the Huthi Movement, AQAP, Hirak, and tribal elements with the Huthis recently capturing Sanaa. The country’s oil supply will soon to run out, which is the main source of government revenue. The country is still in the process of transition required by the Gulf Cooperation Council-negotiated agreement after the Arab Spring. These problems are exacerbated by corruption, social, and economic problems. Finally, state failure remains a real possibility, with the various groups battling for control. In this case, Yemen could become the next Somalia. The worse scenario for the U.S. would for Yemen to become a safe haven for a group intent on attacking U.S. citizens and interests.

Lo Yemen è un paese tribale e tradizionale, dove prevalgono strutture patriarcali e dove il fondamentalismo islamico attribuisce alla donna una posizione sfavorevole nella famiglia e nella comunità, limitandone la partecipazione alla vita pubblica. Le donne sono sottoposte a varie forme di violenza e di discriminazione, compresa la violenza domestica, la privazione di istruzione, il matrimonio forzato, le restrizioni alla libertà di movimento, l'esclusione dai ruoli e dei processi decisionali, l'emarginazione dai processi ereditari, la privazione dei servizi sanitari e le mutilazioni genitali femminili.
Il matrimonio infantile ha infatti forti impatti fisici, intellettuali, psicologici ed emotivi sulla vita di queste giovani donne, le conduce a rapporti sessuali forzati ed aumenta la loro vulnerabilità. Le opportunità di istruzione vengono eliminate, poiché gli investimenti in essa vengono visti come uno spreco, e la possibilità di crescita personale diminuisce in modo esponenziale. Il matrimonio priva le bambine della loro infanzia portando in molti casi a gravidanze precoci e a situazione di servitù domestica e sessuale, su cui non si ha alcun controllo.
Il governo yemenita ha fallito nella protezione dei bambini dal matrimonio minorile, non fissando o applicando una chiara età minima per il matrimonio e non fornendo a donne e ragazze protezione da matrimoni forzati e abusi coniugali.

Dans la deuxieme partie consacree aux portes, l'auteur etudie la hierarchie des franchissements, la dialectique de la defense et de l'accueil qui se concretise dans les systemes de verrouillage et les inscriptions. Le programme decoratif offert par les portes exterieures et interieures, les formes et les compositions ornementales les plus caracteristiques sont presentes ensuite. Les portes a decor couvrant ont ete classees en plusieurs groupes illustres par quelques exemples significatifs : portes sculptees dans la masse, portes a compartiments geometriques realises le plus souvent avec des mosaiques de bois, portes peintes, porte a incrustations de nacre et d'ivoire. La troisieme partie est consacree aux menuiseries de fenetres : volets et contrevents, auvents, grilles realisees surtout en bois decoupe qui constituent les parois des moucharabiehs en surplomb appeles shubbak ou kushk. La datation des menuiseries reste problematique a cause de la fragilite du bois et des nombreux remplois. L'art du bois, aujourd'hui en declin, a perpetue jusqu'au milieu du xxe siecle un repertoire de motifs anciens, manifestant un sens islamique des formes et de la composition. Le temperamment yemenite s'affirme dans des ouvrages caracterises par leur vigueur et une certaine rusticite.

Sunil, Thankam Sukumaran. "Reproductive Health in Yemen: A Theoretical Approach." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2002. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc3112/.
Full textAbstract:
Several developing countries introduced family planning programs to reduce their population growth rates. The rapid spread of birth control programs in the developing countries was at times accompanied by measures which violated human rights. In response to the ethical violations and coercive policies on population control, toward the end of 1980s various international committees formulated a reproductive health approach to overcome the limited population control approach. Unlike other population control programs, the focus of reproductive health program is on “reproductive process,” where as the most immediate focus of family planning programs is on fertility. Although studies refer to reproductive health approach as an extension of fertility control approach, literature on reproductive health provides very few systematic approaches toward developing explanations of reproductive health. The current approaches on population control are influenced by the ideological shift towards a broad-based approach which involves fertility or family size as one of the components of reproductive health. The present study uses intermediate variables framework suggested by Davis and Blake to organize reproductive health explanations. The proposed framework suggests that the state of reproductive health is indicated by intercourse, conception, and gestation variables and assumes that reproductive health is a latent dimensional outcome indicated by the measures of the intermediate variables. Also, there is noticeable lack of studies on reproductive health in Muslim countries. Given this shortcoming in the literature on reproductive health, the proposed model on reproductive health is used to assess the reproductive health of women in Yemen. The data are from the Yemen Demographic and Maternal and Child Health Survey (YDMCHS) conducted in 1997. Structural equation analysis is used to analyze the data. It is found that gender power or women's empowerment is more influential than economic status in determining reproductive health outcomes. The results of the study provide support for the proposed model. Implications for social policy making are discussed.

Al-Nood, Hafiz Abdul Hamid. "Prevalence of sickle cell gene in Yemen." Thesis, Swansea University, 2004. https://cronfa.swan.ac.uk/Record/cronfa42767.
Full textAbstract:
To determine the prevalence of the sickle cell gene (HbS) in Yemen and amongst people from different regions of the country living in the capital, Sana'a City, cord blood samples from 1500 consented mothers were collected from hospitals in Sana'a City between July and December 2001. The names and original homes of the parents were recorded. Cationic HPLC analysis was used for screening while isoelectric focusing (IEF) and DNA- PCR were used to confirm haemoglobin S (HbS). Thirty-three samples were found to show Hb FAS giving an overall likely Hb S gene frequency of 0.011. The Hb S gene frequency varied with the part of the country from which the parents came. Amongst people from Taiz and Haja in the west the gene frequency was more than 0.04 but less than 0.004 amongst people from Ibb, adjacent to the governorate of Taiz. Of 66 chromosomes from babies carrying HbS, only 1.5% additionally carried the presence of-158 (C→T) G-gamma globin gene Xmm I site compared with 16.1% of 168 chromosomes from babies without Hb S from the same regions of the sickle cell trait samples identified in this study indicated that the beta S haplotype in not that associated with a milder course found in east Saudi Arabia. In addition to the absence of both Hind III/Ggamma and Hind III/Agamma beta globin polymorphic sites in 26 sickle cell trait samples suggesting the predominant of the African sickle cell haplotype (Benin) in Yemen. The results of this study thus show a higher Hb S gene frequency in the western coastal part of Yemen than in the central mountainous and eastern desert areas. The incidence of affected homozygous births may therefore reach 20/10,000 in the western coastal part of Yemen. A survey to evaluate health care of sickle cell patients was performed using 86 patients attending hospitals in Sanaa City, Yemen. The results showed that the clinical services provided to the sickle cell patients in Yemen were generally very poor. Limited health resources can best be invested in developing a program of education, screening and health care initially prioritising those communities residing in the western areas of Yemen with the highest Hb S gene frequency.

Full textAbstract:
As the title of the thesis suggests, this is a study of the problems and concerns experienced by student teachers in The Yemen at different stages in their training (second, third, first year of teaching). An initial exploratory case study of one teacher training institute, using interviews, was utilized to generate items for two questionnaires (about problems, and related beliefs respectively) completed by about 800 student -s in all 11 General Teacher Training Institutes in the country. The items covered several areas: School Material Conditions and Resources, Teaching Demands, Relationships with Professionals and Adults, Teaching Competencies, Institutes' Courses, Job Rewards, Pupils' Response to Teaching, and Students' Security. Applying Factor Analysis to the ratings of the total population for the 'problems' questionnaire showed no sufficiently strong structure of problems (patterns). Further analysis using commonsense categories showed that most problem areas were of great concern to the majority of student teachers and beginning teachers and these concerns were stable across stages, except for Students' Social/Emotional Security which showed consistently decreased concern over successive stages. When males and females were studied separately, the patterns of change were different, and diverse changes ii were found for the various (single-sex) institutes. Variables such as Background (Urban/Rural), Institutes attended, Primary School Location, Job Location for beginning teachers, seemed to be dominated to a large extent by sex differences. Males mainly expressed higher concern about job rewards, females about their own ability to cope with the tasks of classroom teaching. Variables such as Age within Stages, and Stage of Joining Institutes, did not appear to have influence upon students and beginning teachers' problems. The results of the 'Beliefs' questionnaire were analysed similarly and showed patterns of results which did not correspond with the 'Problems' results in a way which could allow the concerns to be explained by the belief s. The initial exploratory case study sample was followed longitudinally by interviews. This approach showed different patterns of increasing concerns on entry to teaching. Possible explanations for the different patterns are discussed. Interviews with a sample of institutes' lecturers suggest an awareness by the majority of lecturers of some of the common problems expressed by student teachers. iii The substantive findings and methodological issues are discussed in relation to the literature (e. g. Fuller, Gibson, Lacey ... ). Some suggestions for improving teacher education in The Yemen are offered.

Kepple, Rosemary. "Tracing Formal and Informal Institutions in Southern Yemen." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2018. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/scripps_theses/1111.
Full textAbstract:
The history of southern Yemen has been a unique story of various political factions aligning and realigning themselves in waves of intra-elite conflict, based on the setting of formal and informal institutions. This paper builds on existing literature about informal institutions to analyze the role that political institutions have played in promoting and preventing these conflicts since it became independent in 1967. By using a temporal analysis of historical and contemporary institutions, this paper asks how political institutions have impacted southern Yemen since it gained independence and how these institutions have changed since the start of the current civil war. It additionally looks at the statements of the Southern Transitional Council (STC) in the context of the current civil war to understand how both types of institutions are operating today. This paper will thus argue that the discrepancy between what formal state institutions claim to do and what they are able to creates the space for informal institutions to develop. Furthermore, it will argue that the dialectic between formal and informal institutions can explain periods of relative stability and instability along with the current conditions in the civil war have allowed informal institutions to prosper.

Sultan, Basel Mohammed. "The construction industry in Yemen : towards economic sustainability." Queensland University of Technology, 2005. http://eprints.qut.edu.au/16182/.
Full textAbstract:
The construction industry is one of the most important components in the economic development of a developing country, being a major contributor to the national economy of many such countries. This industry is largely responsible for the physical provision of housing and infrastructure and, as such, can be the backbone of prosperous economies, providing social development and employment. The construction industry in the developing economy of Yemen is plagued by difficult economic and technical problems, which permeate most aspects of the industry. In addition, construction procedures in Yemen consume excessive capital, time and resources that have a direct flow-on effect for the national economy and the nation's socio-economic development. Macroeconomic problems in unemployment, inflation and an inequitable balance-of-payments all add to the existing difficult economic situation in the construction industry. Further, the lack of appropriate infrastructure, weak and inefficient legal, administrative and financial institutions are also major contributors. The recent global shift to sustainable development also requires that the construction industry in Yemen initiate important strategic developmental policies in order to meet future demand for economical and sustainable development. This research uses a comprehensive literature review to design and conduct a survey into the existing local development barriers and then obtains a census of expert opinions using the Delphi methodology to rank a set of sustainable developmental policies and strategies. The research then establishes a comprehensive list of recommendations for achieving economicly sustainable industry. Proposed policies and strategies are formulated from various international studies, including Agenda 21 for Sustainable Development. The proposed policies and strategies are specifically chosen as they are considered to be compatible with the Yemen case and are also seen to more readily integratable with cultural aspects of Yemen, particularly in focusing on the hardships of its local needs and capabilities. The construction industry in the developing nation of Yemen appears aligned in many ways to the needs of other developing economies and, as such, it is expected that the findings of this research will be of great interest to professionals involved in the construction economies of other such developing nations.

Saad, Yeser M. A. "Transport and development in the Yemen Arab Republic." Thesis, Swansea University, 1991. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.638735.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates the impact of transportation on the economic, social and physical aspects in the Yemen Arab Republic. The study focuses on both rural and urban areas. Research for this study was undertaken in 1987-89 and is based especially on surveys in the rural areas around the regions of Saadah and Ibb and in the capital city of Sana'a. Since little previous work has been carried out into transport study in Yemen, a fundamental task was to undertake research to examine the following: the current transport problem in the rural areas; 2) the impact of roads on agricultural production; 3) the impact of roads on the marketing process; and 4) the impact of roads on social development in the rural areas. In order to discuss the above aspects, some farms at various distances from the main road were chosen in the region of Saadah. Another survey in 1989 was designed to undertake the same task but with more detailed analysis. Thus two villages in the region of Ibb were selected to investigate the importance of a road on the economic and social prosperity of the village near the road. The results from both rural surveys have indicated that the relationship between economic and social improvements are to a large extent associated with road development. In some cases, it has been found that the road by itself could not promote any kind of improvement. This is as a result of the lack of other components such as irrigation, limitations of land and the absence of government incentives. The study discussed some rural transport problems which are related to lack of car ownership, the absence of public transport, and the high cost of road construction, all of which have a negative impact on rural communities. The research showed that in Yemen there are areas such as Tihama and Marib where roads have been a prerequisite for agricultural commercialization. On the other hand it was found that roads were not essential for areas which have little potential economic growth such as the mountains. The roads which have been constructed in those areas served to encourage agricultural imports rather than exports. The adoption of new irrigation systems and the application of new inputs have been very limited. The results of these findings suggest that more research is needed to provide an explanation on whether transport is necessary for development or development required transport. One of the many objectives of this thesis was to look at other countries' experiences in terms of their transport development. The idea was to learn how some countries had implemented some transport projects yet their economic and social development had not progressed beyond the minimal requirements, eg. Ethiopia. On the other hand lessons can be learnt from countries which have very limited natural resources but have realized tremendous progress in transport achievements, such as Switzerland. The urban transport sector was an important aspect of this thesis. Results of the urban survey showed the effectiveness of this sector in the process of economic and social life of the people in the city of Sana'a; it also provides the necessary links with the transport network serving the hinterland. Although transport was found to be an important component for urban daily life, nevertheless it has created attendant problems. These are: 1) congestion; 2) traffic accidents; 3) pollution; 4) noise and gradual destruction of old houses particularly in the Old City. Finally, rural and urban transport policies for short and long terms were mainly based on the findings of this thesis. However, those policies were proposed so that economic, social and perhaps physical development can be performed more efficiently.

Full textAbstract:
The northern margin of the Gulf of Aden has a long history of extension from the Cambrian to the present. The dominant structures are related to Oligo-Miocene rifting in the early stages of development of the Gulf of Aden and they overprint Palaeozoic and Mesozoic structures. An area of 170 km by 50 km was mapped at scale of 1:50,000. Landsat images of the whole area, at 1:50,000 and 1:100,000 and air photographs of part of the area were used as base maps. The resulting maps are the first detailed geological maps to be made for this area and are a major outcome of this research. Precambrian basement which was affected by the oldest stage of extension is overlain by a sedimentary cover sequence from upper Cretaceous through the Tertiary in age. The lower part of this sequence represents the Mesozoic post-rift succession deposited after the second period of extension recorded in this margin. Oligo-Miocene extension has resulted in a highly dissected rift shoulder in which the horizontal cover sequence at an elevation of 1500m to 2500m on the plateau is brought down in a series of tilted fault blocks to sea level at the Gulf coast. The massive, nodular Palaeocene limestone of the Umm er Radhuma Formation forms steep inaccessible fault scarps throughout the area. The faults vary in size from major ones which have strike lengths in excess of 50 km and throws over 1000 m to those that are too small to be recorded on the maps. By measuring the geometry of bedding in the rollover anticlines in the hanging walls of selected faults, the trajectories of the faults at depths were computed. These show that the major faults extend steeply down into metamorphic basement. Major faults with kilometric throws must lie off-shore or, less likely, are buried beneath the syn- and post-rift sediments of the coastal plain.

Full textAbstract:
This study examined how the conflict in Yemen is framed by Althawarah and SabaNews newspapers concerning the Saudi-led coalition airstrikes in the recent war. Using the critical discourse analysis, this thesis analyzed how each newspaper identifies and labels the different warring sides and the action at large based on the classification of "us" and "them," and "blame game." The study also examined and analyzed the texts in order to see if there is an approach towards peaceful resolution or motive of war. The findings, mainly based on CDA of 10 articles from each newspaper, indicate that each newspaper news framing strategies communicate different ideologies and social practices that explicitly reveal each newspaper’s attitude towards the conflict and their individual affiliation with the different warring sides. Both newspapers have a strong war journalism framing, and the contradiction in the narratives, furthermore, represents a subconscious conflict in the national media of Yemen.

Alderwish, Ahmed Mohammed A. "Groundwater recharge to aquifers of the Sana'a Basin, Yemen." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 1996. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1349873/.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the study is to understand quantitatively the spatial distribution of groundwater recharge in the Sana'a Basin, Yemen i.e. irrigation recharge, wadi recharge and urban recharge and to assess the impact of these components on the groundwater quality. A combination of field measurements and modelling was used to determine the irrigation return for several crops and soil types. Over the basin, the total return flows, between 20 to 40 % of the water applied, are about 30 MCM/year. A method was developed to calculate recharge through ephemeral wadi beds using an indirect approach, requiring only daily rainfall data and geomorphological observations. The technique combines a rainfall-runoff model with calculation of daily water balance for the wadi channel. The method was applied to two wadis with sufficient subsurface data to estimate groundwater recharge independently from calibration of groundwater models for the shallow aquifer. The values of infiltration calculated by groundwater flow model were in good agreement with the results of the channel water balance model. Regression analysis was used to derive a generalised relationship between recharge and wadi flows. Application of this technique allows extension of wadi recharge estimates to numerous ungauged wadis over 20 years. Wadi recharge over the Sana'a basin is erratic and varies between 129 MCM and 3 MCM with an average of 38 MCM/year. An inventory of abstraction by private wells in Sana'a city, has allowed an improved estimation of urban recharge over the last 20 years, an average of 60% of the water abstracted (76% supplied). Water chemistry indicates that the shallow aquifer within the plain and lower reaches of major wadis has been polluted. However, dilution is taking place through mixing with the deep fresh water through the boreholes. Total annual recharge varies between 143 MCM and 21 MCM with an average of 66 MCM. This represents a significant amount of the annual average abstraction of 82 MCM. Previous estimate of recharge to aquifers of the basin has been less soundly based.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyses the pohtical and economic transformation in the two Yemeni states - the YAR and the PDRY - over the period of 1968 to 1998. The unification process between the YAR and the PDRY is critically assessed in preparation and implementation phases over the period 1972 to 1990 under minority rule in both states. The thesis is critically focused on the minority impact of northern Shafais in the ex-PDRY leadership which led to serious struggles within and between the two Yemens out of which a hasty unification was resulted. The methodology employed in the research utilises many materials and opportunities made available to myself as a high-ranking member of the administration of the ex-PDRY and, subsequently, the Presidential Office of the ROY. Due to my position, I was able to witness the political system and procedures of Yemen first-hand. The data collected includes information from formal sources in Aden, San'a and the UK. This material was substantially added to with extensive interviews and meetings with public figures in Yemen and abroad who were, and are, important actors in the political history and contemporary political system of Yemen. The integration process was not successful because of several necessary conditions which were not present in either state in the preunification era or, indeed, after it. The two states had different experiences in terms of administration, policies and above all power structures. The two states had political and military confrontations in 1972 and 1979 along their border mainly because of the northern Shafais who wanted power legitimacy in either state or independently. Under such minority impact, the south sponsored revolutionary insurgencies in northern areas to force the admission of northern Shafais into the power centre of the north. The unification process throughout the 1970's and the 1980's was controversial but suddenly achieved its objective in May 1990 though in a hasty manner. A series of agreements took place on both sides with regional monitoring. The platforms on which these agreements were carried out, technically, politically and economically, were weak and rushed as varying factors were not taken seriously into account and the unification process was undertaken in an emotionally charged atmosphere. During the period of 1990 to 1994, the cooperative unification did not achieve success. The unified system had relatively good northern/southern representation but it was not effective. The northern tribal and the southern factional attitudes and approaches were too strong in the power centre to enhance the level of integration. The tribally-dominated power centre did not encourage a change in the administrative setup and the two sides wanted to impose their former systems on the national administration. As the capital, Sanaa, was in the ex-YAR territory, the central administration was predominantly characterised by the latter's system which was cumbersome and corrupt. The acceleration of political tensions between the two sides increased after the 1993 elections as a third northern party shared government, diminishing the southern share to a third. In view of the supremacy of southern natural resources, the southerners had a motive to seek deunification, and they duly did so. This was put down by the northern side which used force in the 1994 civil war. The thesis is concluded with three scenarios discussing the possible directions of the future political development of the Republic of Yemen, with a focus on how the ROY can escape from the predicament of sectarian dominated politics. The first of these scenarios envisages fundamental reforms taking place immediately so as to preserver the present unification system. The second proposes that amalgamated unification could be replaced by federalism. The third forwards a possibility that Yemen could fragment into many small states as a result of poor national administration and state management. These scenarios are founded in the analysis presented in the main body of the thesis by employing the arguments and dynamics identified as the failings of the current system in an analysis which would allow Yemen to enjoy a more prosperous and stable future.

Full textAbstract:
A community-based cross-sectional household seroepdemiological survey was conducted in the Republic of Yemen to estimate the prevalence of HBV infection as well as hepatitis B vaccine coverage and effectiveness amongst children vaccinated in the country's Expanded Programme on Immunisation (EPI). Study subjects were randomly selected from five provinces in the country based on probability proportional to size. The prevalence of HBV chronic infection amongst women of childbearing age participating in the survey was 5.08% and places Yemen amongst the group of countries with a high endemicity of HBV infection (> 5%). This is much lower than earlier estimates by hospital-based studies in Yemen estimating the prevalence of HBV chronic infection to be 12.5-16.6% amongst women of childbearing age. This prevalence estimate is more consistent with research findings from other neighbouring Middle East countries. There was evidence that perinatal transmission is not a major mode of HBV infection in Yemen. This is mainly the result of the low prevalence of HBV chronic infection amongst women of childbearing age (5.08%), the low prevalence of hepatitis B e antigenaemia (HBeAg) (12.84%) amongst HBV chronic carrier women, and the low infectivity (21.14%) ofHBeAg positive chronic carrier mothers. The prevalence of children completely vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccination was 8.63%. This estimate is lower than hepatitis B vaccination coverage estimates presented by the EPI in Yemen. The prevalence of incompletely vaccinated children was 12.47%. If these children completed their vaccination schedule, this would have increased the proportion of completely vaccinated children to more double than its current level. There were differences in hepatitis B vaccine coverage by area/province of residence indicating inequitable distribution, availability or accessibility to health services, with a bias towards better provision, or at least uptake of immunisation services in urban areas. Hepatitis B vaccine was found to be highly immunogenic and effective in preventing HBV infection amongst children aged 1-3 participating in the survey. In conclusion, this research demonstrates that HBV infection is not as major a public health problem in Yemen as originally expected, and this misconception needs to be corrected. Hepatitis B vaccine coverage, on the other hand, is low and must be increased. There is no need to amend the current hepatitis B vaccine schedule. Nevertheless, vaccine coverage should be increased with an emphasis on a more equitable distribution, access, and availability of hepatitis B vaccines.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines the consumption of commercial energy, electricity and petroleum products in Yemen for the period 1970-1990. The main objectives are: (1) analyzing the energy consumption in Yemen; (2) investigating the determinants of demand for electricity and petroleum products (3) projecting the values of petroleum consumption for the years 1991-2000; and (4) recommending measures to curb the rate of increase in the demand for energy and to reduce the dependence upon imported oil. This study found that economic growth in Yemen has had a major impact upon the demand for electricity and petroleum products, and that energy intensity had increased over time, indicating that economic growth of Yemen has been very energy intensive. The models that have been chosen in this study are based on the theory of demand. According to this theory, the demand for a good is a function of own price, price of substitutes, and income. The estimates given by the model for aggregate electricity over the period 1975-1990 improved when the number of customers was included in the demand equation. Income and the number of customers are the major determinants of electricity demand in Yemen; the estimated coefficient for price of electricity over the period was not statistically significant at the 5% level. In the case of the demand for electricity by sectors, the results are more useful than for aggregate electricity demand. Electricity consumption for the residential, commercial and industrial sectors was well modeled as a function of only price and income. Demand for electricity in the agricultural sector, however, was described best by a stock adjustment model. The estimated models for individual petroleum products showed that price for fuels and income are major determinants in explaining the variation in demand for these products. Overall, this study found that the future energy outlook in Yemen calls for increasing electricity and petroleum consumption. Moreover, current fuel efficiencies and the estimated fuel demand equations indicate increasing fuel prices, given growth rates of population and per capita GDP. Thus, issues to be considered by energy policy include welfare and economic growth implications of increasing fuel prices, energy conservation, and expanded domestic petroleum production.

Full textAbstract:
An overview is given for the general characteristics of the Republic of
Yemen (ROY) related to water resources management and developments. The
hydrological data needed for development processes of water supply projects in
ROY are scarce or do not exist especially for small scale projects. For this case of
inadequate data, some theoretical and empirical models used in evaluating
resources potentials from small watersheds are presented through the different
chapters and applied in Wadi Surdud catchment area as a case study. The applied
models include SCS curve number method and the Modified Universal Soil Loss
Equation (MUSLE). Direct runoff estimations were computed using the curve
number method with daily rainfall data for 1988- 1992. For this estimate, the
catchment area was divided into three basins, and the average rainfall was obtained
using Thiessen polygon method. The annual water yields for each basin were
obtained from the estimated direct runoff. These annual water yield volumes are
then used in constructing the needed flow duration curves and in obtaining a runoff
general equation with curves for extraction the equation's coefficient of each basin
for different conditions ofCNs.
Due to the deficiency of the required data for applying the MUSLE, it was
applied only for basin# 2 in Wadi Surdud. The purpose of this application was to demonstrate the procedures for determining the different variables of the equation
and for developing general curves for use in estimating the sediment yield directly
from the relationship between the peak flows and the cropping factor. The
developed models of predicting both of water yields and sediment yields can be
improved to produce more reliable results by obtaining more accurate data for
Wadi Surdud.

This conflict is relevant in the context of modern international relations, because it has led to a humanitarian catastrophe: millions of people are starving, do not have access to drinking water, medicine and electricity. The head of the UN World Food Program, David Bisley, recently announced a deplorable figure: 12 million people in Yemen suffer from «severe hunger.» Cholera is a rampant disease in the country. The epidemic began in April 2017, and during this time it canot be extinguished due to the destruction of health infrastructure, water and sewage treatment plants, as well as famine, which reduces the ability of the population to resist infections. The humanitarian catastrophe caused by the Hussite coup in Yemen is a revolution against the Yemeni government organized by a coalition of Hussites and Ali Abdullah Saleh. The parties to the conflict are Iran-backed Houthi rebels, who control the capital Sana’a and much of the north and west of the country. On the other hand, there is an internationally recognized government backed by Saudi Arabia, as well as supporters of the secession of South Yemen.
Ємен є однією з найбідніших арабських країн, і громадянська війна триває тут з 2015 року. Загалом, війна-проксі - це війна, в якій дві держави не воюють безпосередньо, а використовують як сторони конфлікту деякі треті країни: своїх союзників (супутників), надаючи вирішальну допомогу з фінансами, технікою, військовослужбовцями. Цей конфлікт є актуальним у контексті сучасних міжнародних відносин, оскільки призвів до гуманітарної катастрофи: мільйони людей голодують, не мають доступу до питної води, ліків та електрики. Нещодавно глава Всесвітньої продовольчої програми ООН Девід Біслі оголосив плачевну цифру: 12 мільйонів людей в Ємені страждають від "сильного голоду". Холера - це поширена хвороба в країні. Епідемія розпочалась у квітні 2017 року, і за цей час вона не може бути ліквідована через руйнування інфраструктури охорони здоров'я, очисних споруд для водопостачання та стічних вод, а також голод, що зменшує здатність населення протистояти інфекціям. Гуманітарна катастрофа, спричинена гуситським переворотом в Ємені, - це революція проти уряду Ємену, організована коаліцією хуситів та Алі Абдулли Салеха. Сторонами конфлікту є підтримані Іраном повстанці-хуті, які контролюють столицю Сану та більшу частину півночі та заходу країни. З іншого боку, існує міжнародно визнаний уряд, підтриманий Саудівською Аравією, а також прихильниками відокремлення Південного Ємену.

Le deuxième expose le contexte sociolinguistique et le troisième aborde la situation pédagogique. La deuxième partie, qui comporte également trois chapitres, concerne le statut et le rôle du français au Yémen. Ainsi, le premier chapitre traite de la politique linguistique du Yémen à l'égard des langues étrangères. Le deuxième présente la situation pédagogique de la langue française au Yémen à travers son historique dans ce pays et une approche de la politique linguistique de ce dernier envers le français langue étrangère. Le troisième est consacré au développement de l'enseignement et de l'apprentissage du français au Yémen en tenant compte des facteurs d'ordre politique, économique et culturel qui y contribuent. La troisième partie porte sur l'image de la langue française au Yémen. Elle contient deux chapitres : le premier évoque les attitudes et les opinions publiques vis-à-vis des langues étrangères, telles que les critères du choix des L. E. Et la conscience des Yéménites de la particularité de l'anglais. Le second aborde la situation sociale du français au Yémen par une approche analytique de l'image de la langue française et de la France auprès du public yéménite. La quatrième partie (la dernière) présente une analyse du corpus (entretiens et questionnaire) investie dans le traitement du sujet. En définitive, l'ensemble de tous les aspects linguistiques, économiques, socio-culturels et politiques dont cette étude fait état, apporte des éléments de réponse aux interrogations concernant l'avenir du français comme langue étrangère au YémenThis thesis deals with status, role and image of French language in Yemen. It is divided into four parts. The first one contains three chapters of which the first gives glimpses of geographical, politico-historical and socio-economical situations of Yemen. The second displays sociolinguistic background and the third tackles the educational situation in Yemen. The second part, which is also composed of three chapters, revolves around the status and the role of French language in Yemen. So, the the first chapter deals with linguistic policy of Yemen towards foreign languages. The second chapter presents the pedagogical status of French language in Yemen. In other words, its historical record in this country and the linguistic policy of the latter in relation to French as a foreign language. The third chapter deals with the development of teaching and learning french in yemen taking into consideration the political, economical and cultural factors which contribute to this matter. The third part discusses the image of french language in Yemen. It has two chapters: the first one talks about positions and public opinions towards foreign languages, such as criteria of choosing between f. L. And being aware of the particularity of the english language. The second chapter tackles the social position of the French language in Yemen by means of an analytic approach of its image in that country. The fourth part (the last one) presents an analysis of the corpus (interviews and questionnaire) of which advantage has been taken for dealing with the theme of the thesis. Finally, the linguistic, economic, socio-cultural and political aspects mentioned in this study bring altogether the elements of an answer to the questions aroused concerning the future of French as a foreign language in Yemen

Full textAbstract:
The deposition of Imam Muhammad al-Badr in September 1962 was the culmination of a Yemeni nationalist movement that began in the 1940s with numerous failed attempts to overthrow the traditional religious legal order. Prior to 1962, both the USSR and Egypt had been cultivating alliances with al-Badr in an effort to secure their strategic interests in South Arabia. In the days following the 1962 coup d'état, Abdullah Sallal and his cohort of Yemeni officers established a republic and concealed the fate of al-Badr who had survived an assault on his Sana'a palace and whose supporters had already begun organizing a tribal coalition against the republic. A desperate appeal by Yemeni republicans brought the first Egyptian troops to Yemen. Saudi Arabia, pressured by Egyptian troops, border tribal considerations and earlier treaties with the Yemeni Imamate, supported the Imam's royalist opposition. The battleground between Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser and al-Badr was transformed into an arena for international conflict and diplomacy. The UN mission to Yemen, while portrayed as a symbol of failed and underfunded global peacekeeping at the time, was in fact instrumental in establishing the basis for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict. Bruce Condé, an American philatelist, brought global attention to the royalist-republican struggle to control the Yemeni postal system. The last remnants of the British Middle East Empire fought with Nasser to maintain a mutually declining level of influence in the region. Israeli intelligence and air force aided royalist forces and served witness to the Egyptian use of chemical weapons, a factor that would impact decision-making prior to the 1967 War. Despite concurrent Cold War tensions, Americans and Soviets appeared on the same side of the Yemeni conflict and acted mutually to confine Nasser to the borders of South Arabia. This internationalized conflict was a pivotal event in Middle East history as it oversaw the formation of a modern Yemeni state, the fall of Egyptian and British regional influence, another Arab-Israeli war, Saudi dominance of the Arabian Peninsula, and shifting power alliances in the Middle East.

Full textAbstract:
When water is scarce, disputes over how to share it fairly and effectively are frequent. Understanding how people view and respond to water scarcity conflict is essential if it is to be addressed constructively. Through an interdisciplinary lens of hydropolitics and peace and conflict studies, this research used semi-structured interviews and interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA) to investigate lived experience of sharing scarce water resources in Australia’s Murray-Darling/Barka Basin and Yemen’s Jibal as-Sarawat. Across divergent hydrological, cultural and political contexts, the study gained rich insight into how top decision-makers, mid-level community leaders and grassroots water sharers make sense of their relationships to water and emergent conflict in the face of water scarcity, as well as barriers to and opportunities for fair and peaceful water sharing. The study demonstrated that water scarcity conflict can wear down community resilience long before physiological needs arise, with devastating effects on mental health and social cohesion. Unpredictability, lack of information, social division and perceived injustice among basin stakeholders represent barriers to constructive water sharing outcomes. Opportunities to transform this conflict lie in expanding understandings of hydro-hegemony to incorporate the satisfaction of basic human water needs best understood as social in nature. However, this represents an ongoing process which is costly and replete with paradox. Despite water scarcity theory, policy and practice being dominated by positivist approaches, community resilience to the immense stresses of water scarcity can be found in acknowledging and holding emergent tensions between predictability and adaptability; simplicity and complexity; and personal and social responsibility.

Full textAbstract:
Political SciencePh.D.
This project seeks to explain the aggressive turn in Saudi Arabia’s foreign policy after 2011, most drastically exemplified through its 2015 military intervention into Yemen. It does so through a two-case historical comparison between the Saudi interventions in Yemen in 1962 and 2015. Additionally, it compares the nature of internal regime survival strategies within the kingdom during these two distinct time periods of regional revolutionary upheaval: the Nasserist period of the late 1950s to 1960s and the time during and after the Arab uprisings in 2011. It makes the argument that, despite comparable internal and external threats in each time period, Saudi foreign policy is more openly aggressive in the contemporary period as a function of the regime’s ontologically weakened ideological legitimation. Whereas the Nasserist period offered an ontologically distinct threat in the form of a rival state ideology (secular Arab nationalism) that could be strategically co-opted and repressed by the Saudi regime, the Arab uprisings embodied a broader threat. This has included movements that have combined variations of both Islamism and liberal constitutionalism to challenge authoritarianism in the region. It has ultimately been threatening in part because of an ontological similarity to the regime’s own historic use of Islamic legitimacy. Thus, unlike the mediated Saudi approach to the Nasserist threat, the Saudi regime today has opportunistically engaged in an exaggerated aggression abroad as well as more deliberate, open displays of domestic repression at home.

Questo lavoro esplora il ruolo delle genealogie nella vita sociale dello Yemen contemporaneo ed il loro legame con l'organizzazione gerarchica tradizionale. Nonostante le distinzioni di status fondate sull'origine genealogica siano state formalmente abolite nel 1962, il retaggio storico degli antenati continua ad influenzare la costruzione di soggetti antropologici individuali e collettivi. Basandosi su 18 mesi di ricerca di campo nella città vecchia di Ṣanʿāʾ e nelle campagne yemenite, questo lavoro indaga le relazioni tra origine genealogica, status e divisione del lavoro, concentrandosi su due gruppi di ‘outsider’: 1) i Beni al-Khumus, arabi che mancano d'origine associati a servizi stigmatizzati e considerati un gruppo gerarchicamente marginale; 2) i Sayyid, discendenti del Profeta Maometto.
Com'è socialmente prodotto lo stigma e come è associato a famiglie e mestieri? Com'è correlato alla divisione del lavoro e a concezioni locali di economia morale? Qual è il ruolo del retaggio degli antenati nell'influenzare i processi di mobilità sociale e l'accesso al mercato del lavoro? Come plasma la trasmissione della conoscenza specialistica incorporata? Questo lavoro affronta queste ed altre domande enfatizzando la centralità del ‘pensiero genealogico’ nel legare passato e presente, costruendo soggetti antropologici in accordo con il retaggio degli antenati. Introducendo la nozione di ‘capitale genealogico’, inoltre, porta in primo piano la riproduzione della società di casta yemenita a mezzo dell'incorporazione di strutture oggettive di potere.This work explores the place of genealogies in the social life of contemporary Yemen and their relationship with the legacy of past hierarchical organisation. Despite the fact that status distinctions grounded on genealogical origin were formally abolished in 1962 together with slavery, the historical legacy of the ancestors has continued to inform the construction of individual and collectives selves. Drawing on 18 months of fieldwork in the Old City of Ṣanʿāʾ and in the Yemeni countryside, this work addresses the connection between genealogical origin, status and the division of labour, by focusing on two groups of ‘outsiders’: 1) Beni al-Khumus, Arab people ‘lacking of origins’ that stands on the margins of Yemenite traditional hierarchy and are associated with stigmatised tasks of the service sector; 2) Sayyids, descendants of the Prophet Mohammed. How is stigma produced and attached to families and crafts? How does it related to the division of labour and to local notions of a moral economy? How does ancestral legacy affect social mobility and access to the labour market? How does it shape the transmission of specialised and incorporated knowledge? This work addresses these and other questions, bringing into focus the fundamental role of what Andrew Shryock has defined as the ‘genealogical thought’ in weaving together past and present by crafting selves in accordance with the legacy of the ancestors. Moreover, introducing the notion of ‘genealogical capital’, it brings to the foreground the reproduction of the Yemenite caste-like society through the incorporation of objective structures of power.
