The goal of the research was to develop a procedural conception based on the Gemba Kaizen philosophy, which suggests that one way to improve earned value management is to avoid the schedule and cost deviation issues that arise in most projects by implementing on-the-job cost management, or Gemba Kaizen-Costing. The idea is based on continuous guidance by the cost performance index (CPI) and the schedule performance index (SPI) in order to monitor and address deviations as they occur and avoid their occurrence in the future in order to improve the earned value management of the project. In light of those conclusions, the research put forward a set of recommendations, the most significant of which is that academics in the disciplines of cost accounting and management accounting should take a closer look at the study that demonstrates the significance and viability of cost management from the job site in order to improve the earned value of the project.

This study aims to investigate the relationship and effects of lean maintenance, which is defined as (self-maintenance, continuous improvement, overall equipment effectiveness, the five maintenance practices, and automation system with a human touch). and increasing productivity as demonstrated by (materials, measurement, machinery, personnel, and procedures). The problem of the research lies in the lack of familiarity with lean maintenance practices in the factories that are the research sample and the lack of clarity of the role that lean maintenance plays in improving productivity. In order to determine which approaches are most crucial for increasing productivity at the General Company for Dairy Products / Abu Ghraib and satisfying client demands and preferences. A questionnaire with forty items was sent to a sample of two hundred personnel in the researched organization who were in charge of departments, production units, maintenance staff, and engineering departments in order to gather data. The results were obtained by applying the descriptive analytical approach, which helped to accomplish the goals of the study. Numerous statistical techniques were used to test the main and supporting hypotheses. The study came to a number of conclusions, the most significant of which is that there is an influence and correlation between the dependent variable (productivity improvement) and the independent variable (lean maintenance). The researcher offered a number of suggestions that helped the investigated company become more productive.

This study examined the generalized Gompertz distribution, one of the most significant and popular failure models in reliability and life tests when the population is non-homogeneous. Two significant techniques for estimating the hazard function—the genetic method and the Nelder Mead algorithm—were employed once this model's significance, applications, and construction were thoroughly covered. The Monte Carlo method was utilized to simulate and compare these approaches because of its flexibility and cost-effectiveness in accounting for varying sample sizes (large, medium, and small) as well as predetermined values for the distribution and frequency parameters. Every time, try something new. This approach generates the data without using actual data. For the research model, both approaches have been shown to be adequate. Lastly, we anticipate that this model will incorporate additional intelligence algorithms, estimation techniques, and applications that are more broadly utilized across other domains.

The study's objective is to determine the extent of the influence of core capabilities and process design decisions, as well as the relationship between them. The research's issue is that senior management lacks the capabilities to highlight these capabilities. The lack of interest from managers in enhancing the core capabilities of staff members and improving the quality of output is the cause. In order to collect data, we, as a research community, rely on the questionnaire as an analytical study in the General Company for Electrical and Electronic Industries. The heads of the company's departments and divisions, factories, laboratories, and senior management directors were all selected as research participants. The arithmetic mean, frequency distribution, percentages, and deviation were utilized to examine the data. The research variables were assessed for strength using the standard, coefficient of variation, and intensity of response; the relationship and influence between the two variables were tested using the t-test, regression coefficient, and correlation coefficient. The research produced a number of results, the most significant of which is the presence of an above-average correlation in strength between fundamental capabilities and decisions. The company under study implements process design at a comprehensive level. The company's poor reliance on core capabilities when implementing new mechanisms and techniques to improve process design decisions is one of the most significant conclusions. As for the most significant recommendations, they focused on implementing control systems that monitor core capabilities to improve process design decisions.

Objectives: Assessing student entrepreneurial orientation and figuring out the relationship between individual entrepreneurial orientation and the desire to launch an entrepreneurial venture after graduation.
Methodology: The number of students enrolled in the courses on entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation equaled the sample size of 120. (89) Surveys were brought back appropriate for examination. The multiple correlation coefficient, T-test, F-test, and analysis of variance were used to analyze the data.
Conclusions: The students have a high degree of Entrepreneurial Orientation, it was found that the cut-off value and the measurement tool were (4.23) and (2.73) respectively. There is a weak positive relationship between the dimensions of Entrepreneurial Orientation and the desire to launch a business. Despite the small percentage of influence between the, however, this did not show fundamental differences between the students in their Entrepreneurial Orientations and the desire to launch a new Entrepreneurial business. This did not reveal any significant differences in the students' entrepreneurial orientations and the desire to launch a new business, despite the small percentage of influence that separated them.
Originality/Value: The current study focuses on measuring the Individual Entrepreneurial Orientation of students who are actually enrolled in the Entrepreneurship Subject during the semester before graduation rather than in intensive Entrepreneurship Education courses, which is where previous studies based their results, and here lies the originality and difference.

Due to the regular availability of raw materials, local juss is regarded as the primary and significant building material in Iraq (Gypsum). Gypsum has been regarded as a renowned metal since the time of Assyrian and Egyptian. Gypsum was used by the Greeks and Romans to make statues and was also used by the Egyptians to build the pyramids. Juss was considered a bonding material because it is not resistant to water action. Juss appearance is inseparable and synchronous with the appearance of bricks. This study mechanically and physically tested the compressive strength, consistency, setting time, and fineness of the local Juss specimen from Iraq. Every examination result achieved satisfies the Iraqi Juss standard requirements. The specimen under examination has the greatest compressive strength of 11.182 MPa, consistency of 40%, fineness of 1.9%, and setting time of 11.5 minutes.

The current study set out to analyze how artificial intelligence can enhance administrative procedures, assess how it affects the caliber of administrative decisions, comprehend the difficulties and worries related to artificial intelligence's quick adoption, and investigate how artificial intelligence affects administrative innovation. The study sample was given a questionnaire, which was created to gather data and information as well as gauge the strength of the respondents' opinions and responses. The descriptive analytical method was employed in this process. There were 280 administrators at Tikrit University in the study sample. The Likert scale with five points was also used. However, the study reached a set of results, the most significant of which are as follows: Artificial intelligence and administrative decision-making techniques have a very strong correlation. Additionally, the influence of effective AI on decision-making varies depending on its three components: systems and software, infrastructure and equipment, and human resource capacity. The study concluded by recommending that Tikrit University concentrate on promoting artificial intelligence systems and software and strengthening human resources by training academic and administrative cadres and organizing seminars on how to effectively identify and comprehend these systems and techniques.

This experimental investigation is about the structural performance of sustainable self-compacting concrete walls exposed to eccentric axial regularly dispersed loading, including the effect of openings (location and dimensions) by one-way and two-way action. The experimental program includes testing twelve wall panels, the eccentricity of the loading system equivalent to one-sixth of depth. These wall panels are separated into four groups, each one of them consisting of three specimens in addition to two reference solid samples, all specimens with dimensions (80×50×5) cm. First and second groups clarify the opening’s effect by one and two-way action with various dimensions (15×25, 20×30 and 20×40) cm. The results indicated a decrease in failure load of about 10.52 %, 14.7%, and 23.68% for one way and 12.195 %, 13.88%, and 24.39% for two way as dimensions of openings increased from (15×25 to 20×30), (20×30 to 20×40) and (15×25 to 20×40) respectively. In the third and fourth groups for the effect of opening’s locations by one and two-way action, failure load decreased as they approached the edges 11.76%, 10% for one way, and 13.88 %, 3.2% for two way decreasing for (center to centerline near edge, and from the last to corner) respectively.
