It provides a case study on the challenges of establishing a joint venture in Brazil, including differing growth aspirations of partners and approaches to debt levels.Turkey - Country Risk Report

The Knowledge-based Economy and the Arab Dream: What Happened?
Many of the Arab countries may be pursing knowledge-based economic development strategies based on flawed practices from countries perceived to have made successful transitions to knowledge-based economies. Several countries presented as archetypal models of the knowledge-based economy transition face substantial economic development problems, such as record high youth unemployment rates, with tremendous societal implications.
The importation of the knowledge economy concept to the Arab region was accompanied by an emphasis on the welfare of individuals being tied directly to their success in gaining and maintaining higher qualifications and skills which could be sold in the labor market to match high wage employment opportunities expected to be generated by emerging high skill, knowledge-based industries. However, the high wage, high skills jobs associated with knowledge-based industries have not materialized in the region and are increasingly subject to competition from the emergence of low wage, high skill workers in other developing countries.

ABIRD Presentation 2009
The Active Background Ion Reduction Device (ABIRD) treats ambient lab air before it reaches the nanoESI spray formation zone or displaces untreated air in a semi-closed nanoESI source. This reduces background ions by over 10 times when used on an Orbitrap, LTQ, or Q-TOF Premier mass spectrometer. ABIRD isolates the mass spectrometer from transient background ion spikes in laboratory air and improves signal-to-noise and stability across chromatographic runs. It is compatible with many common nanoESI sources and mounts easily without interfering with instrument access or components.

This research statement discusses factors that influence foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows in Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries compared to European Union countries. It notes that MENA countries have implemented reforms to liberalize economies and encourage FDI, but FDI inflows remain relatively low. A key reason is that MENA countries invest little in science and technology infrastructure and research, and have fewer patents and scientific publications than other regions, limiting their ability to attract and benefit from FDI. Strengthening business linkages between foreign investors and domestic small- and medium-sized enterprises could help transfer technology and skills to upgrade domestic firms in MENA countries.
