Artificial intelligence (AI) offers significant benefits to biomedical research and academic writing. Nevertheless, using AI-powered writing aid tools has prompted worries about excessive dependence on these tools and their possible influence on writing proficiency. The current study aimed to explore the academic staff’s perspectives on the impact of AI on academic writing. This qualitative study incorporated in-person interviews with academic faculty members. The interviews were conducted in a semi-structured manner, using a predetermined interview guide consisting of open-ended questions. The interviews were done in person with the participants from May to November 2023. The data was analyzed using thematic analysis. Ten academics aged 41 to 59 years participated in this study. The majority had assistant professor degrees. Most of the participants did not trust the ability of AI to write an accurate scientific article because it can provide inaccurate results and/or improper citations. Regarding the concerns about the usage of AI in academic writing, most participants had negative perceptions, and they believed that AI would diminish students' writing skills. Most participants reported the impossibility of AI being the sole author of scientific articles; instead, it can just support humans in academic writing. Students could use AI to obtain scientific information, get some research ideas, improve writing by reducing grammatical errors, and save students time in writing. To get benefits from AI in academic writing, The faculty members agreed on the necessity of issuing legislation about the usage of AI by the Ministry of Higher Education or the University. Additionally, all agreed on the necessity of conducting workshops to teach staff about AI. Finally, we can conclude that AI could potentially play a beneficial role in academic writing. However, most academic faculty express concerns about their students relying only on these tools, which may result in dependency and a decline in writing proficiency. It is crucial to develop regulations and conduct workshops to educate staff about AI and its utilization by the Ministry of Higher Education or the University.

The paper contains a theoretical analysis of the interrelation between methodology of economics used by economic researchers and the methodology of scientific research, encouraging readers to think differently about one of the most complicated & controversial subjects.
The analysis begins with the determination of propositions that were discussed and explained in the course of the argument.
1- The economic researcher, like a scientific one, goes after the procedures of physical sciences and benefits of the forms of logic.
2- Economics deals with human behavior while the natural sciences deal with the matter.
3-This similarity a

It is a human reading in which religions are intertwined by recognizing the relationship between man and his fellow man in the unity of existence and the unity of the source of religions and the unity of language. The importance of this research in comparing some of the Arabic words has been contained among books believed by followers that it is from the one God Sunday.
When words are spoken in one way in the form of one creature, from the beginning of creation to the present day, this indicates the single origin of the languages..
The research tools were books of heavenly religions, the Quran, dictionaries and interpretations.

This in vitro study done to measure and compare the effect of thermocycling on the shear bond strength of stainless steel and sapphire brackets bonded to human enamel teeth using light cured orthodontic adhesive and debonded at various time, and to measure adhesive remnant index after debonding. Materials and Methods: one-hundred-twenty extracted upper first premolars for orthodontic reason were used in this study; depending on weather thermocycled or not, the sample was divided into two main groups, then within each group 30 teeth were used for stainless-steel brackets (Bionic®) and for sapphire brackets (Pure®). Both groups were subdivided into three

Satellite images from Landsat 7 for 2012 and Landsat 8 for 2022 were used to monitor changes in the land coverings, the images taken from the Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) and Operational Land Imager (OLI) sensors of the Landsat satellite. Geometric correction was used to convert images into a format with precise geographic coordinates using ArcMap 10.5. The maximum likelihood classification method was used to examine satellite image data using a supervised approach, and the data were analyzed statistically. We obtained clear images of the area,
