Paper Title: Yamut-Bal Kingdom A Historical Study in the Political and Cultural Nature (1834 – 1763) B.C

Abstract: The city in Mesopotamia was the nucleus that all the social activities, Economic and military, actions

were performed based on it and the cities ( Ur , Aridou, Laksh, Kish, Babilon and Ashur) were The capitals cities for

kings and old emperors and also there are old cities that don’t exist at all in history, in some history books like (Dir ,

Laraak , Yamot - Baal and meshken Sabir) were some of the capitals or political or military cities, which played a

political, economic and military role in old Iraq. The city ( Yamout – Baal ) is one of these important forgotten cities,

which became a great country in eastern Mesopotamia, and ruled in the middle and south, and part of the country and

in spite of the disagreement the research to follow the impact since the beginning of the second thousand

BC.Although researchers and archeologists differed in determining the origin and meaning of the name of this city

through a group of opinions However, we are suggest the opinion that the name of the city (Yamot - Baal) have two

part , Yamot means ( the spirit of harvestation ), and Baal means the spirit (springs and groundwater ) "As well as

that all the tribes that ruled this region or near areas were called The names are approach to the same meaning, which

grains (wheat and barley) and water, also the Aramaic tribes on the near cities such as the city of Dir (Beit Deria),

meaning (Almazron) which is the land of barley or the fertile land, and these city became capitals after that , And the

same meaning continued on this region to the Sasanian period, as they called the near areas (Yamot Baal) or within

its borders (Jusan) (Gusan), which the land of barley or the land of the giving, which is today the city of Jassan. And

the most nail writings identified place of the city of (Yamot-Baal) were similar in content, with their preaching that

they were located within the settled cities of East Tigris and established a ruling dynasty in Larsa, The city was taken

from the city of Dir as the capital of the king's (Kodor-Mayok) and his children (Word-Sin) (Reem-Sin), that had a

great political presence on the old Iraqi , and had embraced southern cities and governed them for more than 72

years, which since 1834 BC. King of Amorite (Kodor-Mapuk) until they were dropped by Hammurabi in 1763 BC.

Paper Title: Influence of Entrepreneurship Practices on Small and Medium Enterprises Development (A Case

Study of Selected SMEs in Lagos)

Abstract: The study examined “the influence of entrepreneurship practice on small and medium enterprises

development, a case study of selected SMEs in Lagos. The study reviewed the contribution and performance of

SMEs to the economic development of a nation that also depends on various entrepreneurship practices. Both

primary and secondary data collection techniques were employed and Chi-Square method was used to analysis the

data. The findings showed that, despite the enormous resources that are abound in the country; the SMEs sector has

not played the significant role in Nigeria economy. It is recommended that government should as a matter of urgency

assist prospective entrepreneurs to have access to finance and necessary information relating to their business

opportunities, modern technology, raw material, market, plant and machinery which would enable them to reduce

their operating cost and be more efficient to meet the market competition.
