ALGERIA AT A GLANCE

Algeria has always been known for the fertility of its soil.The agriculture sector contributed to around 8.3% to the GDP and employs around 13.4% of the labor force.An area of more than 30,000 sq km is used to produce cereal grains.A large variety of vegetables and fruits especially citrus fruits,are exported.Algeria also exports figs,dates,esparto grass,and cork.Algeria is the largest oat market in Africa.While there has been progress towards gender equality,such as a 30% quota for women ’s participation in political parties;Algeria is still lagging behind other middle income countries in terms of women’s economic and political empowerment.Algeria’s United Nations Human Development Index(HDI) continues to improve and its HDI places it above the regional average.     

The Iron Ore Market in the Sino-Brazilian Trade

China has required a large quantity of commodities in order to keep with its economic growth path,driven by large exports,rapid urbanization and investment in fixed assets.Commodities exporter countries have benefited from China ’s immense"hunger"for commodities,especially during the 2000s.Brazil,for instance,has emerged in this scenario as one of the largest iron ore producers and exporters.However,the cooling down of the Chinese economy has brought doubts to the iron ore industry,which may remain strong in near future but one cannot claim for certain whether or not this trend will remain this positive in the long run.     

FDI in China:Policies and Economic effects

The rapid growth of the world population since 1950 and the contribution matching the GDP and the income per capita has been seen in the increase competition for FDI of the past few years. Therefore, it is well-known that FDI can contribute to economic development not only by being a source of foreign capital, but also by providing employment, opportunities, increasing competition, and most importantly transferring skills and knowledge done by spillover effects.However, these positive effects are not automatic for host countries in the long run and depend largely on the policies taking in place. Having a closer look at the People′s Republic of China(PRC) and by examining how the policies in place have attracted FDI and looking to the contributions that foreign direct invest can make to the recipient country,showing the effects in industries that are economic pushers such as the mining industry can give us the general idea. Hence, FDI has contributed positively to Chinese economic development; there are challenges in order that the People′s Republic China can effectively continue benefitting from it at a larger extent.     

How Will South Africa Benefit from Joining the BRICS

This paper aims to discuss how South Africa’s accession to the BRICS will impact on the development of South Africa ’s infrastructure development. It is a well know fact among development scholars and experts that in order for sustainable economic development a country’s infrastructure needs to be on point and flourish. The South African government has realised the importance of this and in the National Development Plan the government highlights infrastructure development in South Africa as one of the key areas of growth and development for job creation and economic development. Discourse around the BRICS is discussed, who and what they are, a brief history on each country is also provided in the paper. It has also been said that South Africa ’s accession to the BRICS will be valuable for the rest of Africa as well because South Africa is seen as a gateway to other African countries. The relationship between Africa and China is one that is highly contested by the west however it seems that it still continues to flourish and this shall be briefly discussed in the paper. Talks of a BRICS development bank is an area that will also be touched on, this bank is set to fund infrastructure projects especially in Africa amongst its other duties. The main objective of this paper is to access whether or not South Africa will benefit from entering the BRICS in December 2011 and this is explored in the paper.     

Alternatives to antibiotics as growth promoters for use in swine production:a review

In the past two decades, an intensive amount of research has been focused on the development of alternatives to antibiotics to maintain swine health and performance. The most widely researched alternatives include probiotics, prebiotics, acidiflers, plant extracts and neutraceuticals such as copper and zinc. Since these additives have been more than adequately covered in previous reviews, the focus of this review will be on less traditional alternatives. The potential of antimicrobial peptides, clay minerals, egg yolk antibodies, essential oils, eucalyptus oil-medium chain fatty acids, rare earth elements and recombinant enzymes are discussed. Based on a thorough review of the literature, it is evident that a long and growing list of compounds exist which have been tested for their ability to replace antibiotics as feed additives in diets fed to swine. Unfortunately, the vast majority of these compounds produce inconsistent results and rarely equal antibiotics in their effectiveness. Therefore, it would appear that research is still needed in this area and that the perfect alternative to antibiotics does not yet exist.     

IS CHINA ’ S ECONOMIC GROWTH MODEL SUSTAINABLE——PERSPECTIVE FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS

China has been the fastest growing economy over three decades,Increasing investment has been important driver of China ’s economic growth,China can hold its exports rate by the low labor cost but as the inflation rate getting higher,the labor cost shall increase and that is believed to be the main cause of the decrease in export amounts plus the current global crisis.As a country with a tendency to be more trader than buyer,China has already placed in the top in all products set;therefore the economic growth with extremely high labor resource can be sustainable.     

Development in the Process of Cooperation and Innovation

Norms, Values and Symbols in the Intercultural Operations of Companies

Knowledge of the importance of one country values and symbols, which given culture attaches to some elements or live situations helps when doing business on the foreign market. Values can be defined as standards or rules, which are recognized as valuable and important in life. Values are the reflection of what people really believe in and their attitudes towards the most important aspects of live. Values determine our way of thinking, behaving as well as mirror our cultural background. Symbols play an important role in the intercultural environment. Incorrect usage of some of the symbol can be equal to failure while doing business.     

Analysis of lexical cohesion in Lincoln's Gettysburg Address

Lexical cohesion is one of the most important cohesions in English discourse.Lexical cohesion can explicitly express coherence in English discourse and enhance discourse coherent competence with the help of using lexical items.Based on the cohesion theory of Halliday and other linguists,this paper analyzes the classification and effect of the lexical cohesion in Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address and points out that various lexical cohesive devices can play particular roles in the coherence of the discourse.     

Grading Index(GI)∶A New Integrated Technique for Evaluation of Forage Quality

IntroductionForage quality can be defined as the extent to which forage has the potential to produce a desired animal response or level of performance,for example,daily gain or milk production.Due to forage quality is a function of both animal and plant factors.It is difficult and complex to completely evaluate forage quality.Recently,an new integrated index,Grading index (GI),was proposed by Chinese scholar Lu Dexun.Grading index (GI) method has been appraised officially as the national standard of forage quality evaluation in China,which was implemented in 2009.On basis of briefly overview the development of forage quality evaluation technology,this paper is to emphasize on introducing forage grading index and its application in dairy cattle feeding.     

FDI in the Extractive Sector:The Case of Colombia

The article present empirical evidence about the negative effects of FDI inflows over economic growth in the primary sector,in which developing countries,like most of Latin American countries,are the main exporters.One of the most important reasons for this negative relation between these two variables is the absence of spillovers in technology,knowledge,skills,etc.As probe of this negative effects,I analyze Colombia ’s strategy "Mining Engine of growth",which fits perfectly with the purpose of this study,as this Andean country is showing some symptoms of what is known as Dutch Disease and a lot of social and environmental problems related with the mining activities,especially in indigenous and natural reserves.

The release and catabolism of ferulic acid in plant cell wall by rumen microbes: A review

Ferulic acid(FA) is one of the most abundant hydroxycinnamic acids in the plant world, especially in the cell wall of grain bran, in comparison with forage and crop residues. Previous studies noted that FA was mainly linked with arabinoxylans and lignin in plant cell walls in ester and ether covalent forms. After forages were ingested by ruminant animals or encountered rumen microbial fermentation in vitro, these cross-linkages form physical and chemical barriers to protect cell-wall carbohydrat...
