To study petrography, microfacies, sedimentary environments and sequence stratigraphy of Asmari formation in central Fars, 4 stratigraphic sections have benn chosen and studied (Estahban, Shams-Abad, Sarvestan and Akbar-Abad Sections). Field and laboratories study recognized 16 carbonate microfacies and 2 clastic-carbanate facies. Study of microfacies, relative sea level change and sequence stratigraphy evidences show these microfacies are deposited in carbonate ramp sedimentary environment in 5 facies belt zones: Open marine (A), Restricted (B), Shoal (C), Lagoon (D) and Tidal flat (E) during Oligomiocene. Petrography, microfacies analysis and sedimentary environment of Asmari formation shows this formation in study area consist of 3 depositional sequences. Lower sequence boundary of DS1 with Jahrum formation is erosional (disconformity) SB1. Lower and upper sequence boundary of DS2 is SB2. The upper sequence boundary of DS3 is SB1 and ended under the Razak clastic formation. In central Fars only lower part of Asmari is deposited and upper part of this formation have been eroded and disappeared.

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...
