    Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of IT on banking performance through RF of AIT.   Theoretical framework: Business companies and institutions strive to work in a shorter amount of time, which makes information technology an important and necessary way to reach their goals and develop their business day by day.  It assumes that they have a positive and significant impact on performance.   Methodology: Data on five major banks in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq has been gathered. An ARDL model for estimation has been used.   Findings: It is revealing that both IT and RF jointly have a significant impact on performance in the short and long run by 97% and 109%, respectively.   Research, Practical & Social implications: banks adopt IT in order to compete in the market and improve the skills of their employees through training on advanced IT and facilities.   Originality: This study examined and identified the performance of commercial banks in the shed of AIS through RF. Beside of the impact of AIS; RF has a great role in performance and AIS as well

    The concept of crisis management has become one common terminology in various fields, especially in shariah science. This study, the presentation of this confrontation and how it confronts a global disease crisis known as the Corona "Covid-19 crisis". It demonstrates the practical and applied aspect of managing this crisis through the preventive and therapeutic aspects. It aims also to get out of it with the least losses possibility within the controls of Islamic law to fulfil the individual and the collective interests to preserve the necessities that must be preserved. The study reached several conclusions, including our prophets (peace be upon him) skill, and his companions (may Allah be pleased with them). In managing many of the crises they were subjected to. To show also that this knowledge was known to them even though not in its modern terms. As that the Glorious Sharia realizes through its faculties every crisis that arises in the Islamic Nation and finds out the legitimate solutions for it

    The role of atmospheric deposition in the biogeochemistry of the Mediterranean Sea

    Estimates of atmospheric inputs to the Mediterranean (MED) and some coastal areas are reviewed, and uncertainities in these estimates considered. Both the magnitude and the mineralogical composition of atmospheric dust inputs indicate that eolian deposition is an important (50%) or prevailing (>80%) contribution to sediments in the offshore waters of the entire Mediterranean (MED) basin. Model data for trace metals and nutrients indicate that the atmosphere delivers more than half the lead and nitrogen, one-third of total phosphorus, and 10% of the zinc entering the entire basin. Measured data in sub-basins, such as the north-western MED and northern Adriatic indicate an even greater proportion of atmospheric versus riverine inputs. When dissolved fluxes are compared (the form most likely to impinge on surface water biogeochemical cycles), the atmosphere is found to be 5 to 50 times more important than rivers for dissolved Zn and 15 to 30 times more important for Pb fluxes. Neglecting co-limitation by other nutrients, new production supported by atmospheric nitrogen deposition ranges from 2-4 g C m-2 yr-1, whereas atmospheric phosphorus deposition appears to support less than 1 g C m-2 yr-1. In spite of the apparently small contribution of atmospheric deposition to overall production in the basin it has been suggested that certain episodes of phytoplankton blooms are triggered by atmospheric deposition of N, P or Fe. Future studies are needed to clarify the extent and causal links between these episodic blooms and atmospheric/oceanographic forcing functions. A scientific program aimed at elucidating the possible biogeochemical effects of Saharan outbreaks in the MED through direct sampling of the ocean and atmosphere before and after such events is therefore highly recommended

    This research is devoted to study the wear resistance, coefficient of friction and contact temperature of free cutting brass under dry sliding wear conditions over steel counterface disc using pin-on-disc technique. Five load values 3.5, 7, 11, 15 and 20 N were used at constant sliding speed 10.4458 m.s-1 and time 30 min. An increase in wear rate and surface damage of brass specimens was observed by increasing the applied load and a transition from mild to severe wear was occurred at 11 N. A plastic deformation phenomena at macroscopical scale when applying 20 N was detected at the contact surfaces of the brass specimens. The average of the measured contact temperatures of brass was increased from 94 to 268 oC by increasing the applied load from 3.5 to 20 N, while the smallest and greatest calculated kinetic friction coefficient for the sliding pair( free cutting brass / steel) was 0.49 and 0.67 at applied loads 7 and 20 N respectively. Furthermore, an important observations were revealed which includes oxidation and dezincification of the wear rate and contact temperature measuring specimens respectively at their external surface contacting the iron housing far from their contact surfaces with steel disc at 20 N applied load.</jats:p

    Abstract- Curriculum in an academic setting plays a vital and triadic role based on the interrelationships of the content, students and instructors. There are fundamental components of curriculum which are objective, content, method and evaluation which constitute basis for the overall development of the students. Putting all the components of curriculum together, it should be tailored towards achieving all-important objectives of education. The Arabic language curriculum of the International Islamic University (IIUM) is designed for fostering various aspects of language skills. Undoubtedly, Arabic language is unique as it shapes the behaviours of the students in an academic setting. However, little investigation of the impact of the Arabic language on the students ’ behaviours is done recently. This paper primarily aims at exploring the impact of the Arabic Language Curriculum of the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) on the students ’ behaviors. The methodology used in the study is quantitative research design. The data was obtained through the distribution of the questionnaire to the total number of seventy (75) respondents. The reliability of the instrument was done using Cronbach Alpha for internal consistent. The data analysis was done by using SPSS. The findings show that the Arabic language curriculum of the International Islamic University Malaysia have positive impact on the moral and ethical teachings and its effects on the holistic character development of the students could not be underrated. It is thereby recommended that the Arabic language of IIUM should be reviewed constantly in order to integrate moral and ethical values in to the content of what the students are learning

    Mapping has substantially improved because of Remote Sensing (RS) data and Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies. These have been employed in the study of the attributes of natural and manmade Earth features, in the monitoring of natural and physical occurrences, and in the development of street guide maps. Satellite imagery collected from SAS planet was utilized in this study to create a Web-based Street Guide Map of Malali, Kaduna North Local Government Area (LGA) of Kaduna State. The research methodology used was an integrated and conceptual strategy that included digital image processing and cartographic procedures. The digitized features' spatial data were collected using a handheld GPS receiver. QGIS software was used to process the collected data. During the procedure, a web-based street guide map was constructed, which depicted numerous important features in the study area, such as roads and their names, as well as facilities such as schools, hotels, and hospitals. The end result is designed to improve the visitor experience and make it easier to access important attractions in the neighborhood, which is sometimes hampered by the lack of and often inaccurate, outdated street maps, among others
