Management is considered as most important resource of the society ones in modern era and an exchange
point in societies’ lives in order to achieve its goals and wishes. So far, management behinds the new
electronic society has become different in shape and nature due to the force of the nature of information
technology that shapes the relationships between the world’s individuals at the national level but it goes
beyond the international ones. The study aims at identifying the impact of the electronic management’s
components upon the improvement of the quality of nursing care in Baghdad’s hospitals. The descriptive
design, with a sample-survey approach, is used as appropriate ones for the field study of social phenomena.
So, it presents data about these phenomena and the relations between their reasons, results and analysis to
depict the effective factors in them. The study uses a questionnaire for data collection from the respondents.
It is comprised of (31) items which are distributed on two parts; first, demographic characteristics (8) items
and second, electronic management’s components with a five levels Likert Scale of strongly disagree,
disagree, uncertain, agree, and strongly agree with a rating scale of 1 for strongly disagree, 2 for disagree, 3
for uncertain, 4 for agree, and 5 for strongly agree, respectively. Validity of the questionnaire is determined
through its administration to panel of (10) experts who are specialists to present their judgments about its
content validity. Reliability of the questionnaire is determined through the use reliability coefficients to
achieve its internal consistency. Data are collected through field visits to the hospitals and interviews with
subjects. The setting of the study includes all hospitals in Baghdad City which are (43) hospitals. These
hospitals are distributed on three health directorates as; (8) for Medical City Directorate, (13) for Al-Karkh
Health Directorate, and (22) for Al-Rusafa Health Directorate. The sample is consisted of (43) nurse manager
and (101) head nurse. It is purposive “non-probability” ones and it is selected with respect to the selection
criteria of number of years in nursing and number of years in nursing management for no less than one year.
Data of the study are analyzed through descriptive data analysis approach, cluster analysis and factor
analysis. The study reveals that variables that include age, gender, level of education, place of work, number
of years in nursing, number of years in nursing management, years of experience in electronic management
and the duration of each training session in nursing management have an impact in improving the quality of
nursing management. The findings indicate that electronic planning management plays more effective role in the
future of the electronic management and the quality of operating nursing care. So far, we provide sufficient
answers to all questions and hypotheses that the present study has presented. The study recommends that there
is necessity to prepare and implement specialized programs which are concerned in electronic management for
the preparation of managerial leaders in this field. Being relied on electronic learning curriculum in general and
specifically electronic management in nursing courses with respect to what have been accomplished in developed
nations’ universities. Nursing staff have to be encouraged for enrollment in educational and training sessions as
being relative to electronic management. Reporting, monitoring, evaluation and promotion for participants system
can be initiated. National comprehensive studies that depend on comparison and targeted large number of health
organizations in public and private sectors, and nursing staff for identification of barriers for the implementation
and presentation of the recommendations, solutions, and the appropriate approaches that develop technical,
managerial and leadership aspects. Concern can be presented with regard to training sessions in the field of
electronic management, especially that of electronic planning management.

Light is an important factor that influences the growth and photosynthetic efficiency of microalgae; however, little is known about how light intensity together with the wavelength affect the photosynthetic capacity and growth of marine microalgae. In the present study, the growth of the marine green microalga Dunaliella parva was studied and optimized under different light intensities (25 ~ 70 μmol m-2 s-1) and qualities (blue, green, and red) in comparison with white light at 40 μmol m-2 s-1 as a control. The growth was monitored by counting the cell number, pigment content, Chl a, Chl b, and carotenoids concentrations. The optimal growth and highest photosyntheti

Background: Scientific education aims to be inclusive and to improve students learning achievements, through appropriate teaching and learning. Problem Based Learning (PBL) system, a student centered method, started in the second half of the previous century and is expanding progressively, organizes learning around problems and students learn about a subject through the experience of solving these problems.Objectives:To assess the opinions of undergraduate medical students regarding learning outcomes of PBL in small group teaching and to explore their views about the role of tutors and methods of evaluation. Type of the study: A cross-sectional study.Methods: This study was conducted in Kerbala Medical Colleges among second year students

Show MoreThe aim of this study is to compare the effects of three methods: problem-based learning (PBL), PBL with lecture method, and conventional teaching on self-directed learning skills among physics undergraduates. The actual sample size comprises of 122 students, who were selected randomly from the Physics Department, College of Education in Iraq. In this study, the pre- and post-test were done and the instruments were administered to the students for data collection. The data was analyzed and statistical results rejected null hypothesis of this study. This study revealed that there are no signifigant differences between PBL and PBL with lecture method, thus the PBL without or with lecture method enhances the self-directed learning skills bette

This study aims to identify the extent to which the criteria of the American Council for Teaching Foreign Languages (ACTFL) are included in the English language books for the fifth and sixth graders. To achieve the objective of the study, a content analysis card was prepared, where the classification of language proficiencies was divided into five main levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced, superior, and distinguished) of the four language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing), The content analysis card consisted of (89) indicators distributed at the four levels of language skills as follows: Listening (17), speaking (33), reading (15), and writing (26). The study sample consisted of Engl

First case, single robot wants to reach a goal in the static environment that contain two obstacles and two danger source. The second one, is improving the ability for five robots to reach the shortest way. The proposed algorithm solves the optimization problems for the first case by finding the minimum distance from initial to goal position and also ensuring that the generated path has a maximum distance from the danger zones. And for the second case, finding the shortest path for every robot and without any collision between them with the shortest time. In ord

Increasing such activity levels by adjusting the pH values during the initial composting phase is the primary objective to be investigated. In this study, sodium acetate (NaoAc) was introduced as an amendment to an in-vessel composting system. NaoAc was added when the pH of the compost mixture reached a low level (pH < 5), the addition increased pH to 5.8. This had a positive effect on the degradation of organic materials i.e. the formation of methane gas compared to the results without NaoAc addition.
The results also proved that anaerobic-aerobic in-vessel composting could reduce the

Television white spaces (TVWSs) refer to the unused part of the spectrum under the very high frequency (VHF) and ultra-high frequency (UHF) bands. TVWS are frequencies under licenced primary users (PUs) that are not being used and are available for secondary users (SUs). There are several ways of implementing TVWS in communications, one of which is the use of TVWS database (TVWSDB). The primary purpose of TVWSDB is to protect PUs from interference with SUs. There are several geolocation databases available for this purpose. However, it is unclear if those databases have the prediction feature that gives TVWSDB the capability of decreasing the number of inquiries from SUs. With this in mind, the authors present a reinforcement learning-ba
