The main objective of this study is to predict soil erosion in the Lattakia Governorate(W Syria) using the Water Erosion Prediction Project model(WEPP) and to compare the result with that of the RUSLE. Field survey and data collection were carried out, and 44 soil samples were analyzed. In addition, all the necessary input files were prepared for use in the WEPP model and RUSLE. Results show that more than of 80% of the locations studied experience slight to moderate erosion(less than 5 t/ha/y), whereas the rest of the locations experience severe soil erosion hazard. Moreover, the volume of runoff estimated by the WEPP model is in the range of 51 e321 mm, and the R~2 between the simulated soil erosion and the predicted runoff reached 0.68. Interestingly, the R~2 between the WEPP model and RUSLE is 0.56, which indicates a good correlation between the two models.

Reducing environmental pollution is a critical goal in global environmental economics and economic *** European Union(EU)faces environmental challenges due to its development *** we present a comprehensive approach to assess the impact of carbon dioxide(CO_(2))emissions,energy consumption(EC),population structure(POP),economy(GDP),and policies on the environment within the EU using the environmental Kuznets curve(EKC).Our research reveals that between 1990 and 2019,the EU-27 experienced an increase of t1.18 million tonnes of oil equivalent(Mtoe)per year in energy consumption(p<0.05),while CO_(2)emissions decreased by 24.25 million tonnes(Mt)per year(p<0.05).The highest reduction in CO_(2)emissions occurred in Germany(7.52 Mt CO_(2)annually),and the lowest in Latvia(0.087 Mt CO_(2)annually).The empirical EKC analysis shows an inverted-U shaped relationship between GDP and CO_(2)emissions in the ***,a 1%increase in GDP results in a 0.705%increase in carbon emission,while a 1%increase in GDP2 leads to a 0.062%reduction in environmental pollution in the long run(p<0.01).These findings indicate that economic development within the EU has reached a stage where economic growth positively impacts the ***,this study provides insights into the effectiveness of environmental policies in mitigating degradation and promoting green growth in the EU 27 countries.

This study investigated the impact of cultural differences on knowledge sharing in multicultural project *** the research questions,the impact of cultural differences factors were examined on knowledge sharing effectiveness through a mediator which is communication *** study is intended to fill the gap in the previous *** studies examined the effect of cultural differences on knowledge sharing by direct relationship or indirectly through mediators such as participation effectiveness,communication effectiveness and other mediators,but this study used the communication frequency as a mediator that links the cultural differences factors and the knowledge sharing effectiveness. The study found that the cultural differences factors that impact knowledge sharing through communication frequency are;power distance language and saving *** results of the study showed that reducing power distance,increasing individual's English competency and saving face positively impact communication *** study also showed that there is a positive relationship between communication frequency and social/task-related knowledge sharing *** study also showed that there is no statistical significance relationship between social-related knowledge sharing effectiveness and task-related knowledge sharing effect
