Introduction: Infection control or hospital-acquired infections are the major concern of the health care system and agencies. Critical care nurses are on the first-line contact with the patients, so on, they are most vulnerable to acquired infections. It is really important to regularly check their knowledge and practices concerning infection control. Objectives: The study aims to identify the impact of years’ experience on nurses’ knowledge and practices concerning infection control in three hospitals and center (Baghdad teaching hospital, Ibn Al-Nafees hospital, and Ibn al-Bitar center) Methodology: Cross-sectional study was conducted, the study starting from 4th of July 2020 to 13th of November 2020. Non-probability (purposive) sample was used to select 110 nurses who work at critical care units in three hospitals and center (Baghdad teaching hospital, Ibn Al-Nafees hospital, and Ibn al-Bitar center). The years of experience should no less than one year. The instrument was composed of two parts. Firstly, covers the nurses’ demographic characteristics. Secondly, included self-report questions about nurses’ knowledge and an evaluation sheet concerning nurses’ practices of infection control with 24 questions for knowledge and 12 questions for practices checklist. Results: The study revealed that the nurses’ knowledge toward infection control record 38%, 41%, and 21% for low, moderate, and high knowledge respectively. In comparison, nurses practices record 47%, 42%, and 11% for low, moderate, and high practices respectively. Most of the study sample 62% was females while 38 % of the subject was males. The age group (20-29) takes the highest percentage (38%), In addition, about (27.3%) of the nurses who works in critical care units have 1-5 years of experience. Significant statistical associations were found between nurses knowledge and practice from one hand and years’ experience on the other hands p ? 0.05. Recommendation: Based on this finding, the researcher recommended further studies involve more nurses and other health professionals regarding infection control and highlight the importance of infection control to nurses with (1-5) years’ experience by symposium or teaching programs.
This research aims to test the effect of strategic cohesion with its dimensions (organizational excitement, organizational casting, organizational synergy) as an independent variable on administrative excellence as a dependent variable in the Ministry of Planning, and through surveying several employees (general managers, heads of departments, and units managers).

In the present work there are seven velocities (4.429,4.652,5.240,5.600,5.942,6.264, 6.569) m\sec were applied to show how they effect the load, change in length, also the kinetic energy. However, the comparison between the obtained results and the other studies (Alexandar[3] , Abramowicz[4], Ayad[5]) was made the present work and Ayad data show good agreement. Load, change in length, kinetic energy were determined to understand the impact test.

This study seeks to address this gap by assessing the performance of AI-intelligence in analyzing (broadly) revolutionary processes and their effects on regional political systems. The research uses a mixedmethod methodology that involves a systematic literature review of contemporary scholarly articles, and an analytics study using AI tools. Our results show t
