This work consists on the study of the optical properties of zinc oxide layers. These Layers are elaborated under various conditions by cathode sputtering on glass substrates and by thermal oxidations of Zn layers deposited on different types of substrates by vacuum evaporation. The oxidation treatments of Zn are made in oxygen atmosphere at temperatures between 400°C and 450°C for different times. The analyses by diffraction of X-rays, Optical Microscopy and Scanning electron microscopy enabled us to understand that the zinc oxide films deposited by cathode sputtering on a glass substrate and having a thickness of at least 240 nm and those prepared by thermal oxidation at 450°C during 2 hours of layers of Zn on an alumina substrate are homogeneous and consist of grains of size 30 nm. The optical transmission measurements show that the gap is around 3.02 eV for layers obtained by oxidation and 3.3 eV for those deposited by sputtering. These samples have a good optical transparency in the visible.

Does Immigration Promote the Investment of the Monopolistic Firm?

In the present paper, we examine the effect of increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth on the optimal timing of investment of a firm that has a monopolistic power over the labor market. It is revealed that when the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is more than a threshold level, increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth accelerates the optimal timing of firms’ investment and enhances the economic growth, even if the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is formulated by the geometric Brownian motion, which is in sharp contrast to the standard result that an increase in the uncertainty postpones the optimal timing. With an increase in the immigrants over the past ten years, workforces in the host countries have been growing significantly to the extent that the immigrants represent 70% of the increase in the workforce in Europe, and 47% in the United States as OECD indicates. In the present paper, we attempted to investigate the effect of increased uncertainty caused by the growi...

Education Policy Implementation: A Mechanism for Enhancing Primary Education Development in Zanzibar

Education is one of the fundamental rights of individuals; therefore, the government of a country needs to develop and strengthen educational policy and quality as well as to ensure that everyone has equal access to basic education. The improvement of access and quality of education in the world is becoming as an essential factor in development, whereas the basic education (primary school), is acknowledged as a foundation of the higher educational development for every country. To fulfill this goal, governments introduce several policies and procedures; however, it requires some reforms and participation from the politician, policymakers, and other stakeholders to re-examine educational policy so that it can lead to multiplication and betterment of the reforms. Educational reforms actually focus on accountability. A positive educational development and reform is very challenging and needs more effort and strategy on how to use and utilize the resources effectively as such it can achie...
