Abstract

In today's highly competitive business environment, information is the most important resource for all organizations, whether in the public or private sector. In most cases, this information is found in paper documents. Information capture systems (scanning, indexing) represent the first step in information management, allowing documents to be converted from a physical to an electronic format, as well as extracting the required information from them through digital archiving.

We also record our personal experiences and life events digitally on computers, phones, and other electronic devices, in the form of documents, emails, images, social media, and audio/video files. So, here digitization and digital archiving are very important?

Digitization and digital archiving, as an information security system, helps you to better manage personal information and records in digital repositories in an effective and secure way. It is about how you manage information and how you can make the most of it in an effective way that benefits you and your organization.

Digital archiving of documents is one of the main drivers of economic transformation, as information analysis allows you to benefit from making better decisions, which is essential for any organization regardless of its size, type, or complexity.

The development of technology and electronic communication systems in our lives has made it necessary to adopt them as a solution to the old problems that organizations face in their work. The difficulty of storing paper and keeping it safe from damage, despite the urgent need to return to it at times, led to the invention of a way to invest this technology in storing documents and information electronically. This resulted in the emergence of what is called digital archiving. Digital archiving is a necessity for website owners and businesses, as it is safe and secure in storing and retrieving all the required electronic data and files over the long term.

The process of digital archiving works to index electronic documents and files, and keep them until they are needed. It organizes this data and provides a copy of the original for use in research, auditing, and legal purposes.

The importance of digital archiving can be summarized in the following points:

• Quick access to the required information compared to the traditional archive method.
• No need to return to the paper archive and search through piles of papers.
• The ability to keep a huge amount of information that paper archiving cannot sometimes store.
• Reducing the number of employees (hidden unemployment) and tools, thus reducing the financial cost of companies.
• Facilitating the process of information exchange and sharing with others.
• Dispensing with unnecessary data.
• Developing the efficiency and quality of work using modern technologies.
• No need for large spaces in offices and institutions, and utilizing this space for more useful work.
• Conserving the environment by reducing waste and saving paper.

Digital archiving can also store a large number of data and information that is difficult to store in the traditional archive as it is an effective and scalable method.

Digital archiving plays an important role in meeting regulatory requirements through the use of technologies. The data stored is not subject to change or modification. Through digital archiving, you can find the required information regardless of its size.

In addition to providing security means for information by identifying the people who can access it with the ability for more than one user to enter at the same time. Digital archiving also features ease of use remotely, the ability to meet the needs of the organization, and at the same time reduces the risks that the organization may face during work. In addition to its ability to restore damaged data, the ability to export data and save incoming faxes and types of emails, and the ease of handling different types of files.

Therefore, the emergence of modern information technologies has necessitated a re-examination of the traditional concepts related to the archive and the processing of its contents of documents and dealing with them. The digital archive has emerged in all its technological dimensions, and it has taken on great importance due to its close association with the contemporary digital environment, going beyond the idea of digitization and electronic archiving of the traditional paper archive, to electronic practice in a purely digital environment. There are institutions that produce, store, and retrieve their archives in a purely electronic way in unprecedented conditions traditionally.

Introduction:

The world is facing a number of challenges, including climate change. Climate change is caused by human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, which release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat, causing the planet to warm.

The Arab World and Climate Change:

The Arab world is one of the most vulnerable regions to climate change. The region is already experiencing the effects of climate change, such as rising sea levels, more extreme weather events, and changes in agricultural yields.

The Impacts of Climate Change:

The impacts of climate change are already being felt around the world. They include:

• Rising sea levels: Sea levels are rising due to the melting of glaciers and ice sheets. This is causing coastal flooding and erosion, and is displacing people and communities.
• More extreme weather events: Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, floods, and droughts. These events are causing damage to property and infrastructure, and are leading to loss of life.
• Changes in agricultural yields: Climate change is affecting agricultural yields, making it more difficult to produce food. This is leading to food insecurity and malnutrition.
• Loss of biodiversity: Climate change is causing the loss of biodiversity, as plants and animals are unable to adapt to changing conditions.

Solutions to Climate Change:

There are a number of things that can be done to address climate change. These include:

• Reducing greenhouse gas emissions: This can be done by switching to renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, and reducing deforestation.
• Adapting to the impacts of climate change: This can be done by building infrastructure that is more resilient to extreme weather events, and by developing new agricultural practices that are more resistant to climate change.
• Financing climate action: Developing countries need financial assistance to help them reduce their emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change.

Conclusion:

Climate change is a serious threat to the Arab world and the world as a whole. It is important to take action to address this challenge, and to ensure that the region is prepared for the impacts of climate change.

Abstract

Introduction to professional ethics and organizational work values:

In recent years, we have seen the emergence of some concepts of social responsibility. These concepts are considered contemporary concepts, so there must be a reinforcement of these social concepts. We find that some institutions emphasize their developmental role and sense of social responsibility within the communities in which they are located. This social participation is not only important in the sense of responsibility, but has become a necessity to win the sympathy, respect, and appreciation of communities.

We find that the concept of work ethics is one of the most important social principles that stem from the full belief in the values of work, as each individual is responsible for the work he does. Of course, the concept of work ethics is closely linked to the people who perform their work in a skillful way. This does not stop at an authority or institution, whether in the public or private sector. Therefore, institutions have focused their attention specifically on work ethics and values. They seek to develop good morals such as honesty, integrity, commitment, striving for excellence, loyalty, righteousness, respect for others, and appreciating time and good use of it. They also seek to fight against everything that is not appropriate for virtuous ethics while adhering to high values for their multiple benefits for individuals, societies, and high-quality relationships.

Let's focus more on another aspect of ethical values and how they become more complex when there are situations where values conflict with other things in our lives. We know that ethics is a set of rules that define the proper behavior and also define the improper behavior. These ethical rules tell us when our behavior is acceptable and when it is rejected. We note that ethical rules exist in all societies and organizations, despite the differences that exist between one individual and another, but they are considered ethical rules that govern the behavior of humans to determine for them when their actions are right or wrong.

As for business ethics, it does not differ much from the rules of ethics that govern the behavior of individuals in our societies, and it applies the general ethical rules that govern the behavior of business organizations.

In light of this, we note the legal aspect of ethical behavior, that is, the behavior considered ethical is also legal and preferred by society and encouraged. However, there are sometimes unethical behaviors that are difficult to consider illegal. For example, when a worker takes more time than necessary to perform a particular task, is this ethical behavior? Also, when one of the workers uses the work phone for personal calls, thus the institution bears the loss of the worker's time, and bears the costs of the calls made by the worker, or he claims to be sick and does not go to work... And such behavior is not punishable by law, but many people consider some or all of them unethical.

Work is of great importance to man, as it is his source of income and livelihood. Therefore, man seeks to preserve it by adhering to work ethics and values. Let us get to know through the following lines the concept of work ethics and the importance of adherence and commitment to work ethics. It has great importance for the individual and the institution in which he works, such as enhancing the interaction between workers in a large way, which raises the efficiency of performance, improving the image and reputation of the institution, and protecting employees from fear about their future in it and depriving them of incentives and promotions on time. In addition to increasing production and profits, this is a result of each employee's commitment to perform his duties towards his work, as one of the most important work ethics is honesty, and proper time management and not exploiting work time to serve personal interests, and disrupt the interests of work and customers as some people do, and working to succeed in forming good relationships with customers, which guarantees their continuous dealings with the institution.

We can follow a set of methods and methods in order to consolidate and consolidate the ethics and values of work, such as the individual's evaluation of his performance himself, and punishing himself for the mistake he commits without being monitored by anyone. This is because he fears God Almighty, and therefore he strives to perfect his work. Administratively, this is known as the application of self-control methods. Not discriminating between workers, everyone must be subject to punishment when they are wrong, regardless of whether they are a manager, worker, or employee. They are all equal, so that the owners of senior positions in the institution do not believe that they are above punishment, which prompts them to not comply with labor regulations. Among the methods and ways to consolidate the ethics and values of work are:

• Encouraging employees to develop their performance, and this is done by linking good performance with rewards and incentives. The employee always needs someone to encourage him to give his best for the benefit of work.
• Raising awareness among the ranks of workers of the importance of work and that it is their source of income, and the need to preserve it and master it well, which leads to increasing the profits of the institution and raising their standard of living.

Abstract

The process of statistical analysis is one of the most important problems facing most researchers in choosing the appropriate statistical method for statistical analysis in scientific research. The purpose of this research is to provide a mechanism that allows the choosing of appropriate statistical methods and measures to process data of any type or Its nature and to be able to apply them skillfully in statistical analysis. Where the method of selecting statistical measures depends on specifying the goal of the research and the hypothesis of the research that the scientific researcher wants to prove, such as if he wants to indicate the type and nature of the relationship between the variables or indicate the effect of a variable on another or needs to study what the phenomenon will be in the future, as well as the researcher to determine Its data type (where it is possible to classify it by its type, its level of measurement, or by the number of samples taken or by the number of variables) used in the research, as the nature of the data is what determines the type of statistical scale used, and to test the search data to indicate whether it is possible to apply to it Parametric and nonparametric.
The researcher designed an electronic questionnaire as a tool to collect information and distributed it randomly electronically (due to the existing ban due to the Corona pandemic) to Teaching staff Iraqi universities and institutes to show the most important problems of statistical analysis, and (100) forms were chosen after excluding the forms that were filled by professors who specialize Statistics as well as those who specialize in Arabic (because most of their research is theoretical and do not need statistical analysis in their research), and where most of the answers of research community Medium knowledge by statistical measures, their advantages and conditions of use, and they applied what they found followed in previous research, which is a large percentage. Or they depend on the specialists and also we find that most of the sample members want to learn the basics of statistical analysis and how to choose the best scale in the statistical analysis of scientific research. The researcher suggested to the scientific researcher to set the research goal and hypothesis first, and then determine the type of data used in the research, and then choose the appropriate scale for the type of their data and not rely on similar previous research.

Abstract

The categorization of higher education institutions is a contemporary and significant issue that attracts considerable attention, particularly among non-governmental institutions. In the context of Iraqi private universities, which operate in a challenging environment, achieving appropriate university classifications presents numerous difficulties. Therefore, it is essential to take these factors into account when evaluating these institutions.

The researcher conducted a study involving a sample of 280 individuals occupying positions such as dean, associate dean, or department head. To gather data, interviews served as the primary method of data collection. Additionally, efforts were made to incorporate insights from recent graduates, international recruiters, and various websites dedicated to university students and staff. This approach aimed to ensure the accuracy of the data collected and to validate the standards employed in the study.

The investigation yielded several significant findings. Notably, the marketing efforts of Iraqi private universities play a critical role in enhancing both their local and global rankings. The study concluded that these universities can improve their standings in both local and international rankings by implementing strategies that enhance their online presence while ensuring high levels of satisfaction among graduates and employers.

Abstract

In the modern digital landscape, a growing number of consumers are actively avoiding traditional advertising channels. This trend is driven by factors such as information overload, advertising fatigue, and increasing concerns over data privacy. As a result, marketers face significant challenges in reaching and engaging these ad-avoidant consumers, necessitating the development of new strategies that align with consumer preferences while remaining effective. The proliferation of digital media has empowered consumers to control their exposure to advertisements more than ever before. This control has led to a rise in ad avoidance, where consumers actively seek to minimize or eliminate their interactions with traditional advertising methods. This study addresses the challenge of identifying effective marketing strategies that can engage these ad-avoidant consumers without compromising ethical standards or violating their privacy. The central research problem is to explore and identify effective marketing strategies that resonate with consumers who avoid traditional advertising. The research aims to uncover methods that not only reach but also engage this segment of the population in a way that respects their preferences and upholds ethical marketing practices. The study utilizes a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys with qualitative case studies. Quantitative surveys provide insights into the behaviors and motivations of ad-avoidant consumers, while qualitative case studies analyze successful marketing campaigns that have effectively engaged this audience. Additionally, a comprehensive literature review on digital marketing trends and consumer behavior is conducted to inform the research. Results: 1. Value-Driven Content: Content marketing strategies that offer genuine value, such as educational or entertaining content, are more effective in engaging ad-avoidant consumers compared to traditional advertising methods.2. Personalization: Personalized, data-driven marketing approaches that tailor messages to individual consumer preferences lead to higher engagement rates among ad-avoidant individuals.3. Transparency and Trust: Consumers who avoid traditional ads are more likely to engage with brands that prioritize transparency and clearly communicate how their data is used, reinforcing trust and loyalty. Recommendations: 1. Focus on Content Marketing: Businesses should invest in creating high-quality, value-driven content that resonates with consumers, as this approach is more likely to engage ad-avoidant individuals.2. Enhance Personalization: Marketers should leverage data to create personalized experiences, ensuring that marketing messages are relevant and respectful of consumer preferences, which increases the likelihood of engagement.

Abstract

      The current study aimed to investigate the impact of the structure deposits on the profitability of Iraqi Islamic banks over the period from 2016 to 2022 using data of 13 banks. We employed cross-sectional time series models (panel data), including the pooled regression model, the fixed effects model, and the random effects model to analyze the impact of the deposit structure on the bank profitability.

The results indicated that the current deposits represented the largest proportion of the deposit structure in Iraqi Islamic banks. Additionally, the results revealed a negative and significant effect of the current deposit ratio on the profitability of these banks. This could be attributed to Islamic banks holding a considerable proportion of demand deposits; which could be withdrawn at any time and Islamic banks guarantee repayment of the principal deposited, and account holders do not have rights to a share in the profits. Therefore, Islamic banks usually invest only a small fraction of the current accounts.  In contrast, we found a positive and significant impact of the savings deposit ratio and the investment deposit ratio on the profitability of Iraqi Islamic banks. The study recommends that Islamic banks should adopt strategies aimed at attracting more deposits, particularly investment deposits, due to their stability and flexibility in investment. Such these deposits can be utilized for medium- and long-term investments, providing further opportunities to increase profitability.

Abstract

Given the important role played by financial inclusion in supporting economic development and reducing poverty, the study analyzed and interpreted the mechanisms of influence through which financial inclusion indicators can influence poverty. The study aimed to frame the theoretical foundations for studying the impact, as well as to build a quantitative model that has the ability to diagnose the nature of that impact, its direction and size, and to explain the mechanism and channels of its transmission, by relying on balanced double data (Balanced Panel Data), which had 40 observations, and through a model. Fixed Effect Model for a sample of developing countries and for the years (2005-2010-2015-2020).

The research seeks to get acquainted with the theoretical frameworks and empirical studies taken from the analysis and interpretation of the mechanism and channels of transmission of the impact that financial inclusion can exert on poverty, as well as the exploration of an objective quantitative model that has the ability to diagnose the nature, direction and size of that impact and to interpret the mechanism and channels of its transmission, based on data Balanced Panel Data through the fixed effect model (FEM) for a sample of developing countries for the years (2005-2010-2015-2020). The estimation results revealed that the indicator variable of the number of commercial bank branches per 100,000 adults (CBBA) had a positive effect, while the indicator of automatic teller machines per 100,000 adults (ATMAD) reflected its negative effect on the poverty index (P).

Abstract

The research aims to analyze the content of the theoretical relationship between fiscal policy and the public budget deficit by defining the concept, types and tools of fiscal policy on the one hand, and the concept and types of public budget deficit and methods of financing it on the other hand, as well as building a measurement model to study and analyze the effectiveness of these tools in financing public budget deficits for selected advanced countries during the period (2002-2019), and through the use of modern economic measurement tools within the software (Stata 14.2 & EViews 12) and using the (Panel Data) data collection method, a (CD-Test) test for cross-sections was conducted as an initial step to determine the tests that will be used In order to find out the static of the variables and whether they fall within the tests of the first or second generation, and after making sure that there is no reliability between the cross-sections, the Levin, Lin and Chu (LLC) test was used, If its results showed that some variables have a unit root, that is, some variables are stationary in the level and others are stationary in the first difference, and accordingly, this will lead us to include these variables in the model, and we will have a dynamic model, and in this case we will deal with the models of temporal slowdown and the best example On that, it is the auto-regressive distributed lag model for dynamic panel data model (Dynamic Panel ARDL Model) and with its three estimators, which are the mean group estimator (MGE), pooled mean group estimator (PMGE) and the dynamic fixed effects estimator (DFEE). The Husman Test has been used. In order to differentiate between the three capabilities; The test showed that the combined group mean estimator (PMGE) is the best. The Husman Test was used to compare the three estimators; The test showed that the pooled group mean estimator (PMGE) is the best.

Abstract

The research aimed to identify areas of benefit from smart linguistic models (ChatGPT as a model) in accounting and auditing. The research used the descriptive approach to describe areas of benefit. Data was collected from ChatGPT, where a set of questions were asked and analyzed by topic. The research concluded with a set of results, most notably that the areas in which ChatGPT is greatly beneficial in accounting and auditing in general are: assistance in data entry and accounting guidance, assistance in preparing reports and budgets and setting estimates, research into international accounting standards, legislation and laws, analysis and interpretation of data, assistance In planning the audit process, organizing working papers, researching international standards for external and internal auditing. As for the areas in which ChatGPT does not provide significant added value in accounting and auditing, they are when the cases are complex, complex, and have many details, and require knowledge of the legislation and laws in a specific sector or country, or when the cases require an in-depth assessment of risks or analysis of large-scale data. Evaluating the internal control of a particular company.

Abstract

Sustainable supplier selection is an essential part of the decision-making process in sustainable supply chains. This choice is focusing on social, economic, and environmental criteria in evaluation of suppliers. Sustainable supplier selection approaches have used both qualitative and quantitative data. Therefore, it is meaningful to use scientific methods that treatment both quantitative and qualitative data, as well as multiple criteria. 

Analytical network process (ANP) is a one of the important multi-criteria decisions –making approaches.  Also, the ANP technique is a general form that allows possible independency among criteria factors. This paper aims to select the best suppliers using an (ANP) approach which helps decision-makers to reach the best strategy with correct decisions. Using ANP each criterion has its assign weight, which reflects its importance for the process of comparison between alternatives to suppliers. The presented approach consists of the three main steps:  the first step is to identify the criteria used in the comparison process between suppliers, the second step is to identify the decision matrix using AHP and the third step is to construct the super matrix and limiting super matrix and compare between the alternatives, and rank them from the best to the worst through using ANP. This work has used the data as in [30] which represents data for a company that has four suppliers and five criteria. The results show that the best supplier is supplier 2, which has weight equal to 39%. Also, our results are matching the AHP result that is presented in [30]. Moreover, this work can be extended for future work using fuzzy environment and real application such as Iraqi oil companies.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the impact of organizational culture promotion mechanisms on the adoption of environmentally friendly technologies in the Iraqi Ministries of Environment and Industry and Minerals. While the impact of organizational culture has been extensively studied, its specific effect on the adoption of environmentally friendly technologies has not been previously investigated, which constitutes the epistemological problem addressed by this study. Furthermore, the Iraqi environment suffers from a lack of applied studies and empirical evidence related to environmental sustainability. Therefore, this study seeks to answer the central question: What is the impact of organizational culture promotion mechanisms on the adoption of environmentally friendly technologies? This study was conducted in the Iraqi Ministries of Environment and Industry and Minerals. Data were collected from a purposive sample of 110 senior administrative leaders in these ministries.

The study employed an inductive approach and used a descriptive-analytical method to present and analyze its data. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS and Amos software. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was used to verify the quality of the study instrument and model. Descriptive analytical tools such as the arithmetic mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation were used to present, analyze, and interpret the study data. Simple regression was used to test the hypotheses.

The study concluded that the mechanisms adopted to enhance organizational culture constitute an integrated and interconnected system that fosters an organizational environment supportive of adopting environmentally friendly technologies. These mechanisms have a cumulative and interactive impact on promoting environmental values ​​and transforming them from mere theoretical concepts into daily organizational practices. When leadership adopts exemplary environmental behaviors and expresses a clear commitment, designs reward systems to encourage green practices, creates a flexible organizational culture adaptable to technological changes, uses rituals and symbols that reinforce environmental identity, and provides training programs that develop environmental awareness and skills, they collectively create a profound cultural shift. This shift makes the adoption of environmentally friendly technologies not merely a response to external demands, but an integral part of the organizational identity and an automatic behavior for employees at all levels.

Abstract

The research aims to identify the role and procedures of external auditing in developing and enhancing the work of internal control in governmental institutions. It also seeks to determine the extent to which the adherence of government units to internal control components according to COSO contributes to strengthening their effectiveness. Furthermore, it explores the role of the external auditor in examining and evaluating internal control within governmental units and the extent to which external auditing relies on it.

To achieve the research objective, questionnaire data were analyzed using statistical methods, specifically Factor Analysis, to determine the relative importance of each factor. Weighted data were then obtained based on the importance determined by factor analysis, followed by structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis, incorporating the mediator variable (internal control components according to COSO).

The research population was defined as the Federal Board of Supreme Audit employees working in the Ministry of Electricity under the Iraqi Federal Financial Supervisory Board. The research sample was limited to a governmental unit subject to the audit of the research population, specifically the headquarters of the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity, due to the availability of the necessary data and their cooperation in scientific research.

The theoretical part of the research relied on collecting data from books, articles, theses, dissertations, scientific studies, and all research related to the topic, whether in Arabic or English, as well as online resources. The practical part depended on creating a questionnaire distributed to the sample individuals.

The research reached several conclusions, the most notable being the lack of awareness among government units and their staff, especially the sample, regarding professional publications related to internal control, such as international and local auditing standards. It also highlighted the failure to keep up with guidelines issued by the Federal Financial Supervisory Board (e.g., the 2007 Internal Audit Units Guidance Manual, Audit Manual No. 4, and the 2024 Internal Control Manual). This was confirmed by practical findings, where respondents agreed on the existence of a relationship and influence between external auditing and the effectiveness of internal control. This influence could be negative if external auditors fail to develop and update audit mechanisms. Additionally, relying on COSO internal control components in external auditing helps enhance the effectiveness of internal control, as shown by the analysis results, especially with the presence of the mediator variable. However, the lack of knowledge about these components has led to weak attention to internal control elements, ultimately weakening internal control in public sector units.

Among the key recommendations of the research is the need to familiarize employees within the unit with professional publications related to internal control, particularly the 2024 Internal Control Manual issued by the Federal Financial Supervisory Board. This manual emphasizes the importance of adhering to internal control components and principles and their impact on enhancing the effectiveness of internal control. This can be achieved through seminars, workshops, and conferences conducted by specialists, in addition to those organized by the Federal Financial Supervisory Board. Furthermore, it is essential to distribute all professional publications related to internal control to employees for review and awareness of their key provisions.

Abstract

The significance of this research lies in its integration of two key variables: first, innovative marketing, which represents a flexible marketing model that offers companies new methods to present their products and services by introducing changes in how the product or service is delivered, as well as in the channels used for transmitting marketing messages; and second, customer satisfaction, the understanding and analysis of which is essential for maintaining customer loyalty and, consequently, preserving and increasing the company’s market share.

The aim of the study is to explore "The impact of innovative marketing on enhancing customer satisfaction." The research problem was formulated through a set of key questions, most importantly: Does innovative marketing have an effect on achieving customer satisfaction?

To collect the necessary data, the research relied on a questionnaire as the primary tool. The study targeted the Scientific Pharmacist Office, which serves as a marketing agent for Samara Drug Industry Company and several other pharmaceutical companies across different regions in Iraq. A random sample of 65 employees working in the company was selected. Data were analyzed using SPSS v24.

The study reached several conclusions, the most notable being:
“The data analysis revealed that the company’s management pays considerable attention to the dimensions of innovative marketing, with the highest levels of attention focused on promotional innovation and distribution innovation, which in turn contributes to achieving customer satisfaction.”

Among the most important recommendations:
“The company should be proactive and quick in providing new and distinctive products to ensure customer satisfaction, which would increase its market share and guarantee its sustainability in the market.”

Abstract

The current study examines the impact of income diversification on the profitability and stability of Jordanian commercial banks. The study sample consisted of (13) commercial banks operating in Jordan for the period 2010-2022. The secondary data included in the financial reports and annual budgets issued by the Jordanian commercial banks are also considered. The study employs the ratio of non-interest income to total operating income and the Hirschman-Herfindahl index to measure income diversification, while the return on assets and return on equity indices were used to measure bank profitability. To measure financial stability, the z-score value was calculated. The Panel Data regression model was employed, and the random effect model was chosen to test the study hypotheses. The results showed that the ratio of non-interest income has a positive and significant impact on the profitability of Jordanian commercial banks. This indicates that increasing reliance on non-interest income sources enhances the performance and profitability of Jordanian commercial banks. The results also showed that the HHI index has a positive and significant effect on the profitability and stability of Jordanian commercial banks, which means that increasing the level of diversification in income sources leads to increased profitability and financial stability in Jordanian commercial banks. The study recommended the necessity of encouraging commercial banks to innovate financially and provide digital banking services and other non-traditional services due to their role in increasing profits and financial stability in Jordanian commercial banks.

Abstract

The current research presents the idea of ​​using deep learning tools and employing them in financial aspects due to their significant role and ability to explore unobservable aspects in light of financial models governed by a set of restrictions, conditions and linear relationships. On the other hand, the nature of financial data that tends to be non-linear and suffers from the missing of monthly closing prices, which imposes a state of data loss. All of this provides preference for deep learning models, including the neural network tool. The research aims to estimate financial returns in light of the capital asset pricing model CAPM as a financial model and neural networks as a deep learning tool in addition to the mask & padding tool to address the problem of missing data. The knowledge gap was determined by the inability of the capital asset pricing model to explore hidden and invisible aspects and overcome non-linear relationships. The research sample consisted of 42 organizations listed on the Iraq Stock Exchange for the period from 1/1/2021 to 31/12/2024 with 60 observations. The research concluded that the neural network tool is able to overcome the determinants in light of financial models and provide accurate estimates of returns are close to estimates under the capital asset pricing model.

Abstract

The research intends to show the internal determinants and to evaluate and measure their impact on commercial bank profitability, as internal determinants are key and influential indicators on Joint Stock companies performance that are within their control and management. The bank's size) as internal factors have become a concern for them in view of the quick changes and advances in the banking world and its technologies.

As a result, for the period 2015-2020, this research was applied to a sample of Joint Stock companies listed in the Iraqi market for securities, represented by the selection of (13) banks, namely Ashur, Baghdad, Iraqi commercial, investment, Iraqi Gulf, international development, Sumer, Mosul, Mansour, Al-Ahly of Iraq, Al-Mutated, Middle East, and used the descriptive analytical approach of the research variables available in the research sample banks in order to Return on deposits, rate of return on available money (as calculated by the statistical tool EViews V9), and use of panel data analysis according to the three models (accumulation regression model, fixed-effects model, random-effects model) according to this analysis, which will cover the research period (2015-2020). With the research sample represented by (13) banks. Through the application of tablet data, it was discovered that the internal determinants do not significantly affect the profitability ratios or the dependent variable at a significant level of 5 and 10%/4, respectively, whereas the aggregate model was significant and more appropriate according to the restricted f test, i.e. accepting the fifth hypothesis and vice versa if it was rejected. The constant is preferable, but if the Hausman test discovered a Chi-sq value less than the tabular at the 5% level, then this model is preferable to the constant, i.e. the rejection of the sixth hypothesis, and if the coefficient of determination was stronger and significant in the fixed model. than the random model It is more likely and appropriate according to these results.

Abstract

Renewable Energy and Its Role in Maintaining Climate Balance

The intensity of global climate challenges is increasing, prompting a focus on renewable energy production to achieve the necessary climate balance. Reports from global institutions and specialized organizations indicate that greenhouse gas emissions need to be reduced by nearly half by 2030 to avoid the worst effects of climate change and reach net-zero emissions by 2050.

Global reports highlight that a significant portion of greenhouse gases surrounding the Earth, which trap the Sun’s heat, is generated through energy production by burning fossil fuels to produce electricity and heat. Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and gas, are by far the largest contributors to global climate change, accounting for more than 75% of global greenhouse gas emissions and nearly 90% of all carbon dioxide emissions.

The role of renewable energy sources (abundantly available around us through the sun, wind, water, waste, and geothermal energy) stands out due to their natural availability. These sources emit little to no greenhouse gases or pollutants, making them a critical component in combating climate change.

Abstract

Abstract

The research aims to measure the impact of public budget indicators and institutional quality (the quality of governing institutions in the economy) in reducing public debt for a selected group of Arab countries with renter economies for the period (2002-2023). Two standard models have been built to achieve this goal: The first model focused on measuring the impact of the general budget through its basic indicators represented by public spending and public revenues expressed in tax revenues, with the introduction of the oil price variable as a control variable due to its fundamental importance in explaining the dynamics of public debt in oil economies. The second model focused on measuring the impact of the six institutional quality indicators issued by the World Bank (control of corruption, political stability, government effectiveness, rule of law, voice and issue, and regulatory quality) on public debt. Using static analysis of longitudinal data models represented by its three models (pooled regression model, fixed effects model, and random effects model) for eight Arab oil countries, the research reached a set of results: For general budget indicators, the results showed that reducing public spending can contribute to reducing public debt, while there was no significant effect of oil revenues. While for oil prices, they had an impact in reducing public debt. As for institutional quality indicators, the results showed the impact of (political stability, government effectiveness, voice and issue) on reducing public debt, while the results showed that (control of corruption, rule of law, and regulatory quality) contribute to the accumulation of public debt. Therefore, the results of this research confirm the importance of the financial budget and institutional quality in reducing public debt and its sustainability in the long run.

Abstract

The goal of the paper is to reach the optimal decision by building the Fuzzy Linear Programming Model (FLPM) with fuzzy parameters represented by demand and production quantities. The study problem lies in the range that the model contributes to removing the uncertainty in determining the optimal amount of production, and to reach this value, available programs (MatlabV.10, Win Q.S.B V.2) were used to obtain the results of the optimal solution. The hypothesis of this study is that the Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) contributes to the uncertainty of the amount of production and demand. The research was based on an applied study of real data taken from the Iraqi General Cement Company, which is one of the most active companies in the Iraqi industry environment. Four factories (Kufa, Najaf, Babylon, Badoush al tawseea) were selected with their sample products for the company. The study used the model's order quantities, production requirements, and production quantity with Triangular Fuzzy Numbers (TFN). One of the most important conclusions reached by the researcher is that the data adopted from the four factors and the results of the analysis are that the output in these coefficients is fuzzy and unstable, and that the application of fuzzy logic is an effective way to get rid of the uncertainty.

Abstract

The emergence of integrated reporting on global warming represents an important evolutionary stage in the auditing profession, as the auditor has moved from his traditional role of examining or auditing information or pre-prepared lists with a specific financial formula to granting a certificate of confirmation in the preparation of this information or financial and even non-financial statements. This certificate (report) is distinguished by some specificity from the conventional audit report, as assurance services fall between the level of absolute assurance and the lack of assurance, and it contains a wide range of services that do not differ from the two types of reasonable assurance and limited assurance. Specialized professional organizations, including the AICPA, have issued a group Among the standards for these services in order to rationalize their practical application, and I found many obstacles that could face the process of preparing integrated reporting on global warming in the local environment. The researcher adopted the descriptive analytical approach in the theoretical framework, as well as collecting data about the work environment and then analyzing it in the applied framework. This is done by taking advantage of the SPSS program for statistics, as well as the analytical method using it on a sample of data issued by oil refineries. The sample was estimated at the refineries of Shuaiba and Doura. The researcher reached results, the most notable of which is that there are no appropriate controls for preparing integrated reporting, as there is a difference in views about the suitability of the IR framework. As a criterion for assurance, and in particular, current assurance standards, most notably the International Standard for Assurance ISAE 3410, The research community consists of the Daura and Shuaiba refineries in Iraq. The research sample comprises 140 employees working at the Daura and Shuaiba refineries. The researcher used both the survey questionnaire (paper and electronic) and the model reports as tools. In this context, the questionnaire form was distributed to the research sample, require appropriate controls to evaluate the subject matter of an assurance engagement and the practitioner provides reasonable or limited assurance regarding the extent to which the subject matter is compatible with a specific basis, and the researcher concluded that: The high cost of preparing the integrated report compared to its benefits. The cost is also considered a major obstacle to making the entire integrated report the subject of a confirmation engagement (IIRC 2015). Confirming the entire integrated report requires the participation of multiple experts, which will make the engagement very expensive.

There is a difference in the level of credibility and reliability provided by integrated reporting compared to auditing, as integrated reporting does not provide the same level of credibility and trust provided by auditing financial statements. This is due to various reasons, including that integrated reporting is less quantitative and more qualitative in nature. The new form of assurance may fail to have the same confidence as an audit of financial statements. As a result, before embarking on making radical changes in current assurance models, sufficient time must be given. To refine its integrated reports and deal with stakeholders to determine the extent of the actual need for external confirmation, and the diversity of the nature of integrated reporting mechanisms, as the integrated nature of reporting processes and the many types of information reported require innovative forms to enhance credibility that can accommodate the link between the various components of integrated reporting. The researcher presented a main proposal to overcome the obstacles in integrated reporting of global warming, as she recommended that concerned parties adopt strategies such as strengthening cooperation and partnerships with other parties, providing training and continuous development for employees, and improving internal systems and processes to facilitate the reporting process.

This research also contributes by providing theoretical and practical implications for tax administration to improve the reality of tax performance.

Abstract

The current study aimed to uncover the influence relationship between the independent variable (emotional contagion) and the dependent variable (team effectiveness). This was achieved by understanding the conceptual framework of these variables and determining their level of availability at Al-Furat Al-Awsat Hospital. This was done based on the theory of emotional contagion and the team effectiveness model to explain the relationship between these variables. The research problem was represented by the need to understand the extent to which the spread of positive and negative emotions, represented by the dimensions of emotional contagion (sadness, happiness, anger, love, fear), affects the overall performance of work teams, their effectiveness, and the achievement of their goals. Although previous research has addressed this topic, most of it focused on Western work environments or neglected to study the integrated impact of all dimensions of emotional contagion on team effectiveness, creating a research gap that this study sought to fill. The descriptive analytical approach was adopted as the basic research methodology by describing the intellectual contents of the research variables. The questionnaire was used as the main tool for data collection. A sample of medical and administrative cadres in the hospital was selected as the research sample. The total sample size was (223) individuals. Their data were collected through two methods: the first was by distributing the questionnaire electronically to (122) individuals, and the second was by distributing it manually to (101) hospital workers. Both (Excel) and (JASP v.19) programs were adopted in the statistical analysis. The results indicated the acceptance of the first main hypothesis, which states that there is a statistically significant effect of emotional contagion at the overall level on the effectiveness of work teams. The results also showed the acceptance of the second main hypothesis at the level of the dimensions of emotional contagion, as the effect of the two dimensions (sadness and anger) was negative, while the dimensions of happiness, love and fear had a positive effect on the effectiveness of work teams

Abstract

Using the Chi-Square test paradigm, this study investigates the effects of the financial and human resource activities of businesses engaged in the tourism industry in the Erbil/Kurdistan-Iraq region. Using cross-sectional data and straightforward randomization approaches, data were gathered from 100 tourist destinations. The model is employed in the finance and human resources departments to examine the effects of economic crises on regional economic growth. The findings demonstrated that the tourism industry in the area is being significantly impacted by the economic slump during the crisis. The economic crisis had a detrimental effect on both the operations of the company and the economy of the region, as shown by the application of the streamlined simulation-based static analysis framework. The expansion of the tourism industry and the Kurdistan region's economy are being hampered by the deteriorating level of living and purchasing power. The findings indicate that there is no relationship between gender and the tourism industry, and this finding can be interpreted as meaning that gender has little to no influence on the industry. The outcome demonstrates that there is no association between age group, marital status, and the tourism industry. This implies that all demographic factors have negligible effects on the tourism industry. This outcome may possibly be related to the fact that the tourism business is still developing and/or that it is too early to forge these connections because this sector is new to the Kurdistan area. The findings also suggest a connection between employment and the tourism industry. However, the findings indicate that the variable has a big impact on tourism. Additionally, a statistically significant relationship exists between the tourism industry and the economic crisis, as shown by the relationship between tourism characteristics, which includes statements like, "We will cancel/postpone previously planned recruitment, salary increases will be lower than planned, our team is concerned about the viability of the business, finance is getting harder to obtain, and our forecast: profits will fall."

Abstract

This research aims to identify the contribution made by competition in helping young people implement their medium, small and micro projects, in order to ensure their success and achieve the desired goals, specifically in the early stages of establishing these projects. The research problem confirmed that many young people rely on the main pillars of competition (cost, quality, creativity, flexibility) in implementing their projects, but they do not have sufficient knowledge about their most important cognitive contents and how to invest them in competition with others. Accordingly, there is a cognitive deficiency more than a field deficiency in this field. As for the importance of the research, it was represented in presenting a set of proposals that contribute to enhancing the ability of the researched sample and society to invest in the relationship between competition and the success of youth projects (medium, small, and micro). Accordingly, this research aims to diagnose the reality of these two variables and discover the relationships of association and influence between them. To complete the research in its theoretical and field areas, the descriptive approach was adopted. The researchers also relied on a set of previous ideas in designing the questionnaire that was used in collecting data, after testing and adapting it to suit the Iraqi environment, which was distributed to a sample of young people with projects (medium, small, and micro) in the Shorjah area and the Arab market in Baghdad, numbering (376) individuals.

Abstract

The research aims to highlight the role of lean manufacturing principles in enhancing the requirements of green manufacturing at Al- Karwanchi Company for beverages, healthy water, juices, dairy products, and energy drinks. The research problem lies in the company's lack of attention to recycling its products, despite using raw recyclable materials, leading to increased waste accumulation and environmental and health issues. This situation negatively impacts the environment and increases the costs of waste disposal and non-biodegradable materials.

To address this, adopting lean manufacturing principles becomes essential, as they focus on reducing waste and improving production efficiency to meet green manufacturing requirements. A questionnaire was designed for data collection and distributed to a sample of employees in the company, with 242 questionnaires collected from a population of 548 individuals. Data analysis was conducted using statistical software (SPSS V.26 - AMOS V.24).

The results supported the research hypotheses and confirmed the positive objectives and validity of the research model, revealing a direct impact of the independent variable (lean manufacturing) through its principles (both collectively and individually) on the dependent variable (green manufacturing) in terms of its requirements (collectively).

Based on these findings, several recommendations were made, the most important of which is that institutions should consider transitioning to a circular economy, where materials and waste are reused in the production process. This approach will help reduce environmental impacts and achieve greater resource sustainability.

Abstract

The research focuses on calculating the expected credit risks according to the IFRS9 9 standard and how to apply this standard in the National Bank of Iraq. IFRS9 9 is an accounting standard that deals with the classification, financial value of financial assets and the management of risks related to them. Modern accounting standards require considering the financial risks of loans and other financial products owned by the bank. The IFRS9 9 standard aims to supply a comprehensive credit risk management system and supply a probable estimate of expected losses on loans and other financial products. The process of calculating the expected credit risk by the IFRS9 9 standard includes several main steps. First, financial products should be classified according to the degree of expected risk. This classification is based on the quantitative and qualitative information relevant to the bank and the credit risk assessment for each category. After that, the expected credit size for each category is decided based on forecasting models and risk estimates. These models are based on a set of accounting, economic and business standards. Historical data and current information are used to decide the expected credit volume and the possible risks entailed by financial portfolios. According to accounting standards, banks must include the expected credit volume in periodic financial reports and constantly update it. This helps third parties, such as investors and regulators, to understand the bank's exposure to credit risks and the efficiency of the bank's risk management. This process is reflected in the volume of credit applied at the National Bank of Iraq by improving the bank's understanding of credit risks and thus the ability to make better decisions in granting loans and managing risks. The aim of this research is to study the calculation of expected credit risks following the IFRS9 9 standard and analyze their impact on the credit volume in its application at the National Bank of Iraq. The focus is on understanding the details of the standard and how to apply it to improve risk management and make better decisions in granting loans. Through this research, we have concluded that calculating the expected credit risks by IFRS9 contributes to enhancing the bank's understanding of credit risks and improving its efficiency in risk management, and the correct application of the standard helps in supplying more transparent and predictable financial reporting of potential losses. Based on the findings, there are some recommendations for improving risk management at the National Bank of Iraq and applying the IFRS9 standard. The bank should strengthen its technical capabilities to collect and analyze financial data and credit ratings in a more correct and effective manner, and the bank should supply continuous training to employees on the standard and methods of its implementation and the use of proper predictive models to calculate the expected credit risks. Finally, the bank should give financial reports in an organized and transparent manner, explaining the expected credit volume and the potential risks entailed by this volume. This will help investors and regulators understand the extent of the bank's exposure to credit risks and the efficiency of the bank's risk management.

Abstract

This study aims to compare and improve the methods of building investment portfolios for a sample of Iraqi banks listed on the Iraq Stock Exchange, by comparing traditional methods such as the Markowitz model with modern techniques based on machine learning. The Markowitz model is key to balancing return and risk across the medium-variance optimization framework, a traditional model that many financial institutions rely on. The study focused on exploring the extent to which machine learning techniques such as key component analysis (PCA), supporting vector machine (SVM), logistic regression, and random forest can improve the performance of the investment portfolios of these banks in a volatile environment such as the Iraq Stock Exchange. These techniques rely on processing and analyzing huge financial data to discover hidden patterns and relationships that help increase returns and reduce risk more effectively compared to traditional methods. The historical financial data related to the shares and assets of the banks of the research sample in the Iraq Stock Exchange was used to evaluate the performance of portfolios according to indicators such as expected return, variance, and Sharpe ratio. The study aims to provide innovative solutions that help banks make smarter and more effective investment decisions, commensurate with the local market conditions and the economic and political challenges they face.

Abstract

The research aims to study and analyze the risks associated with the adoption of accounting information systems, particularly human, technological, environmental, and legal risks. It also addresses the literature related to the reliability of the external auditor’s report by highlighting the nature of these risks and explaining the extent to which they affect the quality and credibility of audit reports issued by local audit firms.

The research is based on the hypothesis that identifying the risks of adopting and operating accounting information systems by regulatory bodies, and relying on auditors who possess the professional capability to disclose such risks, will positively reflect on the reliability of the final audit report for stakeholders who rely on accounting information. To achieve the objectives of the study, a conceptual framework was developed that covers the accounting information system, its internal structure, and the risks associated with its adoption. In addition, the framework analyzes the dependent variable represented by the reliability of the external auditor’s report and the characteristics that this report must include. The study also clarifies the role that risk identification can play, especially risks related to human factors involving system designers and operators, and technological risks related to the information infrastructure of business organizations.The researcher concluded that the level of disclosure regarding the risks of adopting accounting information systems in audit reports is still limited and incomplete. A significant portion of audit outputs continues to focus on traditional financial tests, without expanding into the evaluation of risks associated with modern systems. It was also found that the lack of systematic identification of these risks directly affects the reliability of the audit report and reduces the ability of users of financial statements to rely on it.

The researcher recommends that audit reports should include an annex or a dedicated section addressing risks related to accounting information systems, and that an evaluation methodology should be adopted encompassing human, technological, environmental, and legal risks, in addition to determining the impact of these risks on the fairness and credibility of financial data. The study further recommends enhancing the training of regulatory staff on mechanisms for evaluating risks associated with modern systems and integrating the results of such evaluations into the contents of the external auditor’s report, in a manner that strengthens its reliability and transparency for all stakeholders.
