The research focus was quantitative, descriptive, explorative and correlational; of transectional design. The variable to measure was the operation permanence of the companies; the indicators considered were the number of companies by sector, which are grouped in three categories: commerce, industry and service; number of companies which are currently in operation and utilization of the services provided by the Business Incubator. There were obtained the following results: most of the companies which had entered are in operation, more than half of them belong to the service sector, the higher mortality of the total of the companies is in the service sector, the higher growth is in the commerce sector, the time of permanence in the Business Incubator influences in the company stability, plus, affects in the operation permanence. The companies’ growth attended by the incubator is higher than the national average, also the companies’ mortality is lower compared to the national average.

Virtual education is an option in the training process that represents new challenges for professors; who are responsible for setting educational facilities for the training of students. This highlights the need for professor’s continuing education, since quality training should be adjusted to meet the changing needs of today's world. The aim of the research was to propose a teaching skills profile adjusted to virtual learning environments. The research design was not experimental and the focus was descriptive. This was a transactional research, from January 2015 to December 2016. The research was divided into three stages which are: 1) Characterization of educational practices of professors in virtual learning environments, 2) Identification of teaching skills for virtual learning environments and 3) Validation of a teaching skills profile adjusted for virtual learning environments. Six teacher performance skills were analyzed: 1) pedagogical; 2) educational interaction; 3) digital; 4) instructional design; 5) professional, ethical and legal responsibility; 6) research. The results enable the identification of professor’s online activities and competences, in order to establish a validated reference to serve as a reliable assessment of virtual teaching activities. Key Words: Competences, Virtual Learning Environments, Information Technologies.

9 | Forecasting of Pakistans Import Prices of Black Tea Using ANN and SARIMA Model MUHAMMAD NOUMAN HUSSAIN and ASAD ALI Pages: 1372-1382 | Details (745) |
Forecasting is very helpful tool for making decisions and plans for upcoming time periods. In this study Seasonal Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) models are used to forecast the Pakistan’s import prices of black tea by using data for the time period Jan 2004 to Dec 2014. The performance of SARIMA and ANN models are evaluated on the basis of root mean square error (RMSE), mean square error (MSE) and mean absolute error (MAE). The selected model under Box-Jenkins is SARIMA (0, 1, 1)*(0, 1, 1)12. ANN models with different combination of input, hidden and output layers were tested with four activation functions (semi linear, sigmoid, bipolar sigmoid and the hyperbolic tangent function). This study reveals that ANN model performed well as compare to SARIMA model because RMSE, MAE and MSE of ANN model are less as compare to RMSE, MAE and MSE of SARIMA model. Therefore, ANN can be effective for forecasting the Pakistan’s import prices of black tea. Key Words: SARIMA, ANN, Black Tea, RMSE, MSE, MAE.

10 | The Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) Hypothesis for Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Analysis for Saudi Arabia REEMA GHAZI ALAJMI Pages: 1383-1393 | Details (791) |
This paper empirically investigates the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis validation for GHGs emissions over the period 1980-2010 in Saudi Arabia. It examines the relationship between economic growth and environmental quality by using the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression for two types of GHGs namely: CO2 emissions and other GHG emissions (HFC, PFC and SF6); the gases in brackets are termed other GHG emissions for ease of discussion in this study. The results showed that the EKC hypothesis is not valid for either CO2 emissions or other GHG emissions in Saudi Arabia. Even though there is an inverted U-shape for both models, the turning point is very high compared with GDP in that period. Thus, Saudi Arabia needs to implement new policies by adopting new technologies that could support the technical effect, which contributes to improving the environmental quality or raising the current source efficiency, in order to achieve sustainable development in the future. Key Words: CO2 Emissions, Other GHG Emissions, EKC, OLS Regression, Turning Point.
