Abstract: The main objective of the current study is to build and test a model for the factors that affect anxiety towards medical information technology. Based on the literature, factors that affect anxiety have been selected, represented by the factors motivating anxiety, which are the negative attitude toward medical information technology, technological complexity, and perceived threats. In the context of these factors, the study assumed that the presence of these factors could contribute to an increase in the level of anxiety towards medical information technology. To test the model, data were collected by adopting a questionnaire that was prepared based on previous studies that included reliable and valid measurements. The study sample was a group of doctors working in the city of Mosul (except radiologists, sonar doctors, dentists, and laboratory doctors), and the number of the sample was (295) doctors. To complete the achievement of the main objective of the study, the model was tested by adopting the structural equations modeling method. The results of analyzing the data showed that the measurement model of the study was reliable and valid at the level of measurement indicators, constructs, and the model as a whole. Concerning the constructed model, the results of the analysis showed that the three factors (negative attitude towards medical information technology, technological complexity, and perceived threats) affected anxiety positively and significantly, meaning that the presence of these factors is a major cause of high levels of anxiety among physicians towards medical information technology.

Abstract: Loans diversity and net credit derivatives is one of the important topics in the field of financial studies as it is related to hedging credit risks. Loans represent the main resource of the bank that yields its revenues, which represents the largest part of its uses and carries high risks for banks. The research was conducted on a sample of five US commercial working banks. Financial analysis was carried out depending on some historical data of the sample and then a statistical analysis was achieved on resulted data from financial analysis. The statistical analyses were done by (SPSS & Excel) programs. The main findings revealed a positive (direct) and substantial association between the independent variables represented by real estate loans, corporate loans, individual loans, and net credit derivatives. In addition, the association between other loans and net credit derivatives was found to be weak and inconsequential. The research made some recommendations, the most significant of which was the need to diversify the loans made to the commercial banks that made up the research sample by making international credit investments as fresh ways to protect against potential business environment risks and the requirement to protect against those risks by using financial derivatives.
Abstract: The study aims to measure the impact of fiscal policy on economic growth in selected oil countries represented in (Algeria, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iraq) during the period 2000-2020, by using an econometric study based on the analysis of the Panel static model through Three estimated models (Pooled effect model - fixed effect model - random effect model) and after estimating the mentioned models it was found that the fixed effects model is the appropriate model based on the (Redundant Fixed Effects test), while the random effects was the appropriate model based on the (Hausman test) However, depending on theory, economic logic, and the significance of the parameters, the fixed effects model is better, so we interpreted the results of the fixed effect model only, and the study concluded many results, including public expenditures that have a negative and significant impact on the gross domestic product, while revenues have a positive impact on the gross domestic product industry.

Abstract: The research aims to know the impact that spending on social protection, with its three components: social security, social protection network, and social assistance, has in reducing poverty levels in developing countries. The spatial boundaries of the study represented the countries (Albania, Bulgaria, Armenia, Moldova, Mongolia, South Africa, Turkey, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Malta, Brazil, Costa Rica, Paraguay, Ecuador, and Mexico) for the period from 2010-2021, and basic models were used in the research to analyze the data. (panel data) for unbalanced data, the aggregate regression model, the fixed effect model, the random effect model, the Lakrange multiplier test, and the regression-based Hausman test were used. The research concluded that both social security and the protection network have an inverse effect, meaning that increasing the percentage of spending on social security and the protection network as a percentage of the gross domestic product will reduce the poverty rate, while the social assistance variable had a non-significant effect, and this reflects the decrease in the percentage of social assistance from GDP, in addition to most of this aid, are irregular payments and to very limited categories, often during crises, meaning that their impact is temporary and does not contribute significantly to reducing the number of poor people.
