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.
Desulfurization of a simulated diesel fuel by different adsorbents was studied in a fixed-bed adsorption process operated at ambient temperature and pressure. Three different adsorption beds were used, commercial activated carbon, Cu-Y zeolite, and layered bed of 15wt% activated carbon followed by Cu-Y zeolite.Initially Y-zeolite was prepared from Iraqi rice husk and then impregnated with copper. In general, the adsorbents tested for total sulfur adsorption capacity at break through followed the order Ac/Cu-Y zeolite>Cu-Y zeolite>Ac. The best adsorbent, Ac/Cu-Y zeolite is capable of producing more than 30 cm3 of simulated diesel fuel per gram of adsorbent with a weighted average content of 5 ppm-S, while Cu-Y zeolite producing of

A genetic algorithm model coupled with artificial neural network model was developed to find the optimal values of upstream, downstream cutoff lengths, length of floor and length of downstream protection required for a hydraulic structure. These were obtained for a given maximum difference head, depth of impervious layer and degree of anisotropy. The objective function to be minimized was the cost function with relative cost coefficients for the different dimensions obtained. Constraints used were those that satisfy a factor of safety of 2 against uplift pressure failure and 3 against piping failure.
Different cases reaching 1200 were modeled and analyzed using geo-studio modeling, with different values of input variables. The soil wa

The downhole flow profiles of the wells with single production tubes and mixed flow from more than one layer can be complicated, making it challenging to obtain the average pressure of each layer independently. Production log data can be used to monitor the impacts of pressure depletion over time and to determine average pressure with the use of Selective Inflow Performance (SIP). The SIP technique provides a method of determining the steady state of inflow relationship for each individual layer. The well flows at different stabilized surface rates, and for each rate, a production log is run throughout the producing interval to record both downhole flow rates and flowing pressure. PVT data can be used to convert measured in-situ r

The study presents the test results of Completely Decomposed Granite (CDG) soil tested under drained triaxial compression, direct shear and simple shear tests. Special attention was focused on the modification of the upper halve of conventional Direct Shear Test (DST) to behave as free
head in movement along with vertical strain control during shear stage by using Geotechnical Digital System (GDS). The results show that Free Direct Shear Test (FDST) has clear effect on the measured shear stress and vertical strain during the test. It has been found that shear strength
parameters measured from FDST were closer to those measured from simple shear and drained triaxial compression test. This study also provides an independent check on
A model using the artificial neural networks and genetic algorithm technique is developed for obtaining optimum dimensions of the foundation length and protections of small hydraulic structures. The procedure involves optimizing an objective function comprising a weighted summation of the state variables. The decision variables considered in the optimization are the upstream and downstream cutoffs lengths and their angles of inclination, the foundation length, and the length of the downstream soil protection. These were obtained for a given maximum difference in head, depth of impervious layer and degree of anisotropy. The optimization carried out is subjected to constraints that ensure a safe structure aga

In this work, the modified Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction is used to find a nonlinear Ritz approximation of Fredholm functional defined by the nonhomogeneous Camassa-Holm equation and Benjamin-Bona-Mahony. We introduced the modified Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction for nonhomogeneous problems when the dimension of the null space is equal to two. The nonlinear Ritz approximation for the nonhomogeneous Camassa-Holm equation has been found as a function of codimension twenty-four.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is an expanding domain that can revolutionize different industries. Nevertheless, security is among the multiple challenges that it encounters. A major threat in the IoT environment is spoofing attacks, a type of cyber threat in which malicious actors masquerade as legitimate entities. This research aims to develop an effective technique for detecting spoofing attacks for IoT security by utilizing feature-importance methods. The suggested methodology involves three stages: preprocessing, selection of important features, and classification. The feature importance determines the most significant characteristics that play a role in detecting spoofing attacks. This is achieved via two techniques: decision tr
