Association between COVID-19 pandemic and the suicide rates in Nepal
Authors: Acharya Binod , Subedi Keshab , Acharya Pramod , Ghimire Shweta
Published: January 2022

Background

Past works have linked the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent public health responses such as isolation, quarantine, and lockdown to increased anxiety, sleep disorders, depressive symptoms, and suicidal ideation. Only a few studies, mostly carried out in high-income countries, have investigated the association between the pandemic and suicide rate. We seek to investigate the changes in the monthly suicide rates during the COVID-19 pandemic in Nepal, compared to the pre-pandemic suicide rates.

Methods and findings

This is a retrospective study investigating the changes in suicide rates in Nepal during the COVID-19 pandemic period (April 2020 to June 2021), compared to the pre-pandemic period (July 2017 to March 2020), adjusted for seasonality and long-term trend in the suicide rate. We performed analysis for the entire country as well as sub-sample analyses stratified by gender and provinces. A total of 24350 suicides deaths during four years of the study window were analyzed. We found an overall increase in the monthly suicide rate in Nepal with an average increase of 0.28 (CI: 0.12,0.45) suicide per 100,000 during the pandemic months. The increase in suicide rate was significant both among males (increase in rate = 0.26, CI: 0.02,0.50) and females (increase in rate = 0.30, CI: 0.18,0.43). The most striking increments in suicide rates were observed in June, July, and August 2020. The pattern of increased suicide rates faded away early on among males, but the effect was sustained for a longer duration among females. Sudurpaschim and Karnali provinces had the highest increase in suicide rates associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Conclusions

The COVID-19 pandemic is associated with an increased suicide rate in Nepal. The findings may inform policymakers in designing appropriate public health responses to the pandemic that are considerate of the potential impact on mental health and suicide.

Published: January 2022

Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are a leading cause of deaths worldwide, yet the diagnosis and treatment of this group of diseases represent a significant challenge for clinicians. The epidemiology of ACS is extremely complex and the relationship between ACS and patient risk factors is typically non-linear and highly variable across patient lifespan. Here, we aim to uncover deeper insights into the factors that shape ACS outcomes in hospitals across four Arabian Gulf countries. Further, because anemia is one of the most observed comorbidities, we explored its role in the prognosis of most prevalent ACS in-hospital outcomes (mortality, heart failure, and bleeding) in the region. We used a robust multi-algorithm interpretable machine learning (ML) pipeline, and 20 relevant risk factors to fit predictive models to 4,044 patients presenting with ACS between 2012 and 2013. We found that in-hospital heart failure followed by anemia was the most important predictor of mortality. However, anemia was the first most important predictor for both in-hospital heart failure, and bleeding. For all in-hospital outcome, anemia had remarkably non-linear relationships with both ACS outcomes and patients’ baseline characteristics. With minimal statistical assumptions, our ML models had reasonable predictive performance (AUCs > 0.75) and substantially outperformed commonly used statistical and risk stratification methods. Moreover, our pipeline was able to elucidate ACS risk of individual patients based on their unique risk factors. Fully interpretable ML approaches are rarely used in clinical settings, particularly in the Middle East, but have the potential to improve clinicians’ prognostic efforts and guide policymakers in reducing the health and economic burdens of ACS worldwide.
World Heavyweight Championship boxing: The past 30+ years of the male division
Authors: Finlay Mitchell James
Published: January 2022

Data from the past 30+ years of the male boxing World Heavyweight Championship (n = 182 bouts) was obtained. The USA were the most represented and produced more champions than any other nation, followed by the UK, Ukraine and Russia. Denmark (100%), Ukraine (85.4%) and the UK (67.3%) produced the greatest ‘success rates’ in World Heavyweight Championship contests. Where possible, comparisons between bout winners and losers were also made. Winners were significantly taller (p < 0.001, d = 0.35) and had a greater reach (p = 0.003, d = 0.23) when compared to losers. Championship bouts were settled by the following methods: a form of knockout (101), points decision (57), retirement (14), draw (3), disqualification (3), technical decision (1), whilst 3 no contests were omitted from the analysis. Total punches thrown and landed, and jabs and power punches thrown and landed were consistently significantly greater (p < 0.005, d = 0.27–0.73) in winners, compared to losers. Winners were more accurate compared to their losing counterparts by ~ 8 percentage points. The data presented in the present study clearly show some anthropometric advantages of championship bout winners, compared to their unsuccessful counterparts, and that winners are more active and accurate when compared to losers. The punch output data, albeit very basic, may be useful in informing tactical strategy and preparation of heavyweight prospects. Likewise, the data in the present study may be an interesting resource for professional boxing enthusiasts. Future research should seek to replicate the analysis in the present study across other weight divisions to explore any potential differences between weight classes. Additionally, extending the analysis to female boxing may provide interesting comparisons.
The affect of fashion: An exploration of affective method
Authors: van Tienhoven Maaike A. , Smelik Anneke
Published: January 2022

Fashion enchants, engrosses, caresses, itches, restrains, liberates, enfolds, reveals, protects and provokes. This article researches fashion’s ability to affect, and vice versa, how humans are affected by fashion. The first part introduces the main tenets of affect theory, while the second part of the article focuses on the pragmatics of affective method. We understand affect as both an autonomous force and a neurobiological bodily response to a trigger that offsets feelings and emotions. To practically engage with affective experiences and the bodily sensations, feelings and emotions they evoke, we use Laura U. Marks’s affective analysis as a a method. We describe our experiments with this affective method using two case studies: a couture dress designed by Dutch fashion designer Jan Taminiau and a simple T-shirt produced by fast fashion giant Primark. The case studies illustrate the affective qualities of fashion by researching embodied responses, feelings and emotions. The affective method aims to circumvent representation by focusing on the body and how it relates to what fashion can ‘do’. It also allows for a sustained focus on the materiality of the fashion object itself. The article argues that affective method is a valuable and compelling tool that can break open material fashion research, by foregrounding the embodied experiences, feelings and emotions that play a key role in our relationship with fashion.

Henry James y la ficción-trickster
Authors: Cuesta Abad José Manuel
Published: January 2022

Este artículo propone una aproximación al concepto de ficción-trickster a través de la lectura de los relatos y nouvelles de Henry James, con especial atención a los paralelismos entre «La figura en la alfombra» y «La bestia en la jungla». En estas novelas la interpretación de un secreto se convierte en elemento principal de la estructura narrativa (argumental y discursiva), de modo que la incertidumbre hermenéutica causa finalmente un efecto de indecidibilidad en relación con el secreto que motiva la intriga. Desde esta perspectiva, la ficción-trickster no constituye un modo nuevo o especial de relato, sino una explicitación radical de algunos trucos o procedimientos de la literatura fantástica, y cifra al mismo tiempo una manifestación singular de la crisis de la mímesis característica de ciertas tendencias de la literatura moderna.
… Como si el poeta no perteneciese al pueblo: los cantares de Ruiz Aguilera en el repertorio flamenco
Authors: Plaza Orellana Antonio
Published: January 2022

El siguiente artículo valora la repercusión en el flamenco de los cantares de Ventura Ruiz Aguilera, uno de los poetas más relevantes de la denominada «poesía de cantares», corriente literaria que irrumpe en la segunda mitad del siglo xix. La técnica imitativa del cantar popular, el carácter epigramático y el compromiso social dotan a nuestro poeta de un lenguaje cercano que permite que se popularicen muchas de sus creaciones. La pervivencia de tradiciones musicales basadas en la interpretación sucesiva de coplas constituye un medio idóneo en el que se conservan sus cantares de forma anónima. Aunque algunos investigadores no han considerado el estilo de nuestro poeta afín a la tradición andaluza, trataremos de analizar aquellas estrofas que se afianzan en el corpus flamenco.
Francisco Moreno Galván, autor de letras flamencas
Authors: Martín Cabeza Juan Diego
Published: January 2022

El pintor Francisco Moreno Galván (Puebla de Cazalla 1925-1999) compaginó en su trayectoria artística su faceta en torno a la pintura y la ilustración con la creación de letras flamencas para las voces de cantaores como José Menese, Miguel Vargas o Diego Clavel. Se analizan en este trabajo las claves principales de esa faceta creativa y su relación con la copla o letra flamenca popular, y también con otras creaciones de poetas reconocidos. En este sentido es importante resaltar la influencia de Antonio Machado Álvarez (Demófilo) y sus hijos Antonio y Manuel. Tanto el padre como los hijos fueron admirados y estudiados por Moreno Galván y nos ofrecen claves importantes a tener en cuenta en la obra letrística de nuestro autor. Se trata entonces de poner de manifiesto, por un lado, el necesario sabor popular que ha de tener la letra para el cante, pero también el peso de la tradición lírica castellana y su vínculo con esta forma poética.

Authors: Shmatova Yuliya E. , Razvarina Irina N.
Published: January 2022

A health-preserving environment in educational institutions is extremely important for the preservation and strengthening of the physical and mental health of children, for the formation of a healthy lifestyle, and also contributes to the growth of the human potential of society. The purpose of this work is to analyze the problems and prospects of health saving in educational organizations of the Vologda Oblast based on the data of an expert survey of managers and specialists in the field of health and education conducted by specialists of the Vologda Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences within the framework of the project "Studying the conditions for the formation of a healthy generation". Among the main risk factors for children's health, experts call improper and irregular nutrition, increased academic load, reduced motor activity in the fresh air, and a fascination with gadgets. In general, specialists in the fields of education and health care consider their interaction in matters of improving the health of pupils and pupils sufficient and effective. However, during the interview, a number of shortcomings were revealed in the system of health care for children in schools and kindergartens: the absence of a permanent medical worker (pediatrician, paramedic, nurse); the lack of narrow specialists (psychologist, speech pathologist, speech therapist, physical therapy instructor, etc.); the elimination of the practice of dental examinations; violation of sanitary and epidemiological rules in terms of the use of equipment (in particular ophthalmologists); insufficient continuity of information about the neuropsychiatric development of the child upon admission to school; insufficiency of specific prevention, lack of comprehensive practice-oriented programs for health care and "health lessons". A number of organizational, personnel, regulatory, informational, methodological, material and technical conditions for improving the efficiency of health saving in educational institutions are also presented.

Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND Direct laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation have been a part of the mainstay modalities of providing anaesthesia. Both lignocaine and dexmedetomidine have proven effects of attenuating the stress response to laryngoscopy and intubation. This study compared the efficacy in attenuating the pressor response of lignocaine when given at 1.5 mg/kg and dexmedetomidine given at 0.5 µg/kg body weight. METHODS This is a prospective observational study involving 80 patients of both sexes who underwent elective surgeries under general anaesthesia. They were divided into two groups: Group D and Group L. Group D received dexmedetomidine 0.5 µg/kg body weight slow IV, 10 minutes prior to laryngoscopy and Group L received 2% preservative free lignocaine 1.5 mg/kg body weight i.v. bolus ninety seconds prior to laryngoscopy. Hemodynamic changes like heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and mean blood pressure (MBP) were monitored before induction (baseline), post induction and at 1, 5, and 10 minutes after endotracheal intubation. Structured proforma was formulated and obtained data was analysed using STATA software. RESULTS In the lignocaine group, heart rate, SBP, DBP and MAP increased and gradually returned to baseline value. The dexmedetomidine group showed highly significant attenuation of sympathetic response to laryngoscopy and intubation compared to lignocaine groups. CONCLUSIONS The study results go on to demonstrate that dexmedetomidine infusion is better at attenuating the pressor response to intubation than preservative free intravenous lignocaine when given prior to induction.

Clinical Profile of HIV/AIDS in Women in a Tertiary Care Centre of District Kamrup (Metro) in Assam - An Observational Study
Authors: Baishya Hitakalpa , Nath Kalyan Kumar , Nath Neena , Baruah Swaroop Kumar
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND HIV/AIDS is a global pandemic with a national adult (15-49 yrs) prevalence of 0.22 % (NACO 2019) and females constituted around 44 % of the total estimated people living with HIV (PLHIV). HIV infection in women occurs mostly in their reproductive years which leads to transmission to the child thereby comprising the most common mode of acquiring HIV infection in children < 15 yrs. Women account for more than 70 % of the caregivers of seropositive spouses or other family members. This study was conducted to explore the reasons behind increasing HIV prevalence among adult women in the region including their demographic profile, transmission dynamics and clinical profile of HIV/AIDS. METHODS This is a hospital-based observational study among 100 selected adult female patients with HIV/AIDS (as per NACO guidelines) who attended the Gauhati Medical College Hospital from 1st July 2016 to 30th June 2017. A detailed clinical history of the selected cases was obtained in the register of the institutional ICTC centre and was recorded in standard proforma. RESULTS Out of the 100 cases included in the study, 95 were married of which 74 had seropositive husbands while 21 were discordant couples. The mean age of the study population was 31.27 ± 9.7 yrs., with the majority of women being in the age group of 21 – 30 yrs. Among the study group, 13 were illiterates while 6 were graduates. Fever was the most common presenting feature with 59 % followed by weight loss (36 %) and diarrhoea (15 %) respectively. Bacterial respiratory tract infection and oral candidiasis were present in 12 % and 11 % of patients respectively as opportunistic infections. CONCLUSIONS The majority of cases in our study were housewives and the biggest risk was through heterosexual sex with their husbands or primary partners. Only a few attended colleges in the study group while the rest were either illiterates or school dropouts and the majority of them didn’t have comprehensive knowledge of HIV/AIDS. The large gender inequality in education and unemployment may be responsible for the spread of HIV/AIDS in women. KEY WORDS Clinical, HIV/AIDS, Women
A Comparison of Haemodynamic Responses between Clinical Assessments Guided Tracheal Intubation and Neuromuscular Block Monitoring Guided Tracheal Intubation
Authors: Malipatil Nidhi , Harshavardhan K.
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND During the induction of general anaesthesia (GA), laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation produce significant nociceptive stimuli, which frequently results in inadvertent activation of the sympathetic nervous system. To blunt this pressor response, many drugs are successfully used. However, administration of an additional drug might cause adverse haemodynamic effects or might unnecessarily increase the depth of anaesthesia. Hence, a non-pharmacological measure to reduce the response is preferred. In this study, we wanted tocompare haemodynamic responses between clinical assessment-guided tracheal intubation and neuromuscular block monitoring-guided tracheal intubation. METHODS An observational study was conducted on 62 patients aged 18 – 60 years old belonging to American Soceity of Anaesthesiologist (ASA) I & II posted for surgeries under general anaesthesia were allotted to 2 groups of 31 each. In Group C patients, the trachea was intubated after the clinical judgment of jaw muscle relaxation. In Group M patients, the trachea was intubated after train of four counts became zero in adductor pollicis muscle. Changes in heart rate [HR], mean arterial blood pressure [MAP], Krieg’s intubation score, time between the administration of a neuromuscular blocking agent and endotracheal intubation were recorded. The collected data was analysed by mean, standard deviation, frequency, percentage, ttest and chi square test. RESULTS HR and mean arterial pressure were significantly higher in Group C as compared to Group M after laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation (P < 0.05). The mean time required for intubation was significantly shorter in Group C compared to Group M (179.52 ± 2 s vs. 358.19 ± 55 s). Excellent and good intubation conditions were observed in all Group M patients, whereas 24 out of 31 patients (77 %) in Group C showed excellent and good intubation conditions. CONCLUSIONS Haemodynamic responses to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation can be significantly attenuated if tracheal intubation is performed following complete paralysis of laryngeal muscles, detected by neuromuscular monitoring of adductor pollicis muscle. KEY WORDS Laryngoscopy, Intubation, Haemodynamic Responses, Stress Response, Neuromuscular Monitor.
Overview on Covid-19 Vaccine - A Short Review
Authors: Sharma Aditi , Sharma K. K.
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND COVID-19 is a serious disease caused by a novel coronavirus known as SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome). With a population of 1.38 billion people, India aimed to vaccinate 300 million people in the first phase of the COVID-19 vaccination program by August 2021, including 30 million health workers and frontline workers, as well as 270 million elderly people (over 50 years) and those people with co-morbidities. COVID-19 vaccination has begun in India with two types of vaccines: Covishield (by Serum Institute of India Ltd) and Covaxin (by Bharat Biotech International Ltd), according to the Press Information Bureau. Manufacturers in India have said that they will be able to meet the country's future COVID-19 vaccination needs. Both the vaccines function by priming the immune system with a SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and require two doses. Covaxin uses an inactivated SARS-CoV-2 virus taken from an asymptomatic patient, while Covishield uses a weakened variant of adenovirus. On prime minister Narendra Modi's birthday, which is on the 17th of September 2021, a massive immunization blitz is planned. With the CoWIN website updated every second throughout the day, India has administered 2.25 crore Covid-19 vaccine doses. METHODS The review study was carried out in PGI Chandigarh, with the base of the material accessed online and a few studies conducted recently. We conducted a literature search using the MEDLINE electronic database to identify published studies until Sep 2021. The search was confined to peer-reviewed articles that were published in English and contained an abstract. Reference lists of journal articles were also screened for additional citations fitting our search criteria. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that masks alone are insufficient to provide adequate protection against COVID-19 and that they must be used in conjunction with physical distancing, hand cleanliness, and vaccination to put an end to the global SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. A successful vaccination is safe, efficacious, long-lasting, and deployable to large populations, and one should follow the local health authority's recommendations.

Compensatory Mechanism in Religious Context
Authors:   , Syahrivar Jhanghiz
Published: January 2022

Consumption activities driven by socio-psychological issues or ‘compensatory consumption’ have gained popularity among Marketing researchers in recent years. However, decades after its introduction, compensatory consumption has not been thoroughly discussed in the religious context. This dissertation aims to investigate compensatory consumption in the context of religions, most notably Islam. The majority of respondents in this study were Muslims, both as majority and minority groups. Previous research has shown that understanding Muslim spending patterns and consumption motivations are critical for avoiding marketing myopia. The researcher employed both quantitative and qualitative methods to reveal the mechanism behind religious compensatory consumption. This dissertation connects religious compensatory consumption with “moral” consumption concepts, such as green consumption, to provide a more comprehensive explanation of compensatory mechanisms. In total, this dissertation presents five articles that have been published in reputable journals. The results of this dissertation are expected to refine the theory of compensatory behaviour and give a framework for future research in a similar area.

Authors: Borges Marcia Leite , Duarte da Silva Luciano
Published: January 2022

O presente trabalho trata da utilização do instituto da delação premiada nas investigações do esquema de corrupção e lavagem de dinheiro envolvendo os dirigentes da Petrobras, agentes políticos e grandes empreiteiras do país. Esta Operação fico conhecida como Lava Jato e teve sua fase ostensiva iniciada em 2014, quando a partir de monitoramento telefônico das conversas do doleiro Carlos Habib Chater, foi possível identificar diversas organizações criminosas comandadas por doleiros e relacionadas entre si. Neste sentido, a investigação procurou analisar os impactos e a forma procedimental da delação premiada nos processos instaurados a partir das investigações realizadas pela Lava Jato, compreendendo as minúcias em relação à delação premiada nas investigações sobre corrupção no Brasil. A problemática gira em torno da seguinte questão: De que maneira o instituto da delação premiada tem contribuído no processo investigativo dos crimes de corrupção e lavagem de dinheiro, no âmbito da Operação Lava Jato? A metodologia utilizada no presenta trabalho é a pesquisa bibliográfica. É possível perceber, que mesmo diante das críticas, a favor ou contra, à utilização dos acordos de delação premiada, quando analisados os resultados obtidos, até o momento, se observa que esse instituto tem sido de grande valia ao desmantelamento das organizações criminosas envolvidas, à recuperação do ativo financeiro aos cofres públicos brasileiro e à continuidade do processo investigativo da Operação Lava Jato.

Authors: Alaameri Zahra Hasan Oleiwi , Faihan Mustafa Abdulsahib
Published: January 2022

This paper demonstrates the feasibility of using deep learning approaches in time series forecasting of bank profits. Two types of neural networks were used, LSTM (Long-Short Term Memory) and NAR (Nonlinear Autoregressive) networks, for comparison. The data from 12 Iraqi banks, which are registered in the Iraq stock exchange, were involved in this study for sixteen years (2004-2019). RMSE and MAPE were used for comparing the performance of the two models (LSTM and NAR). Our results showed that the NAR is more accurate than LSTM for the prediction of profits. And that the use of the NAR network by the Iraqi banks will help them predict future accounting profits.

Mathematical Model for Handling Unstable Time Series by Using a Linear Approximation Technique
Authors: Neamah Kawther Abood
Published: January 2022

Time series are typically built on basic assumptions that include stationarity, linearity and normality. The three characteristics are crucial for estimating and building time series models. Studies on time series include these assumptions. To deal with unstable time series that are based on its basis, mathematical models that are suitable for such series are adopted in this study. A nonlinear self-regression model, called the rational model, is proposed. This model is a fraction in which the numerator is the complete sine function and the denominator is an exponential self-regression model. The fixed point and limit cycle of the model are simulated and determined, and its stability is studied using a linear approximation technique.

Published: January 2022

One of the macroprudential policies that are often used mainly in Asia and including Indonesia is the Loan-to-Value policy with a function to overcome systemic risks related to housing price spikes and credit distribution. Data analysis uses Vector Auto Regression (VAR) and simultaneous equations (Simultaneous Regression). The data in this study is time-series data. Exchange rate variables have negative impact on inflation because rate of exchange instability will affect capital flows or investment and international trade. And tax variables have an insignificant negative effect on inflation due to the impact of rising inflation due to the shock of tax increases in taxes that are seen as increasing production costs and sales costs to consumers but in contrast to credits that have an insignificant positive effect on inflation.

Authors: Radam Neamah Sattar , Al-Janabi Sufyan , Shaker Khalid
Published: January 2022

Software-defined networking (SDN) has emerged in response to increasing requirements for new networks and expansion of Internet coverage. Modern needs exceed the limitations of traditional networks, for which, to simplify management, SDN is proposed as a promising paradigm that separates the control and data planes, allowing for the programming of network configuration. SDN deployment and applications are directly affected by the controller position. Single or multiple controllers are used in SDN architecture to enable programmable, flexible, and scalable configurations. Multiple controllers are essential in the current SDN, and various solutions have been recently developed to improve scalability and placement selection. In this study, the Controller Placement Problem (CPP) is explored using objective optimisation with proposed algorithms. An overview of SDN issues and the controller role is provided through its three-plane architecture with a focus on scalability and reliability. In addition, a comprehensive problem review is discussed on the basis of a well-known compendium of available solutions. Finally, relevant open problems and future research challenges are identified.

We analyze banking sustainability via measuring impacts of various factors on net profit in an econometric model. This study will analyze a typical case of Eximbank (EIB) a listed big bank in Vietnam market. By using Eview software to conduct an econometric (OLS regression) and taking advantage of qualitative analysis and inductive methods, The research findings tell us that because total revenue has higher impact on net profit than sale cost, Eximbank (EIB) need to pay more attention to selling and increasing revenues from business, as well as managing cost better. Next, as CPI, G and R has high positive correlation with net profit, there is policy implication that CPI can increase a little but and GDP growth increase to be in favor of rising net profit of EIB.

Authors: George Sara Mohan , S.S. Selvi , J.R. Raol
Published: January 2022

Accurate estimation of aerodynamic parameters of an aircraft is a matter of great importance in aviation industry as well in aircraft design and development programs. In this paper, Gaussian sum extended information filter (GSEIF) is studied for aircraft parameter estimation. The convergence condition for the GSEIF has been obtained using the normalized Lyapunov energy functional by proposing a nonlinear observer for the filter and studying its asymptotic behavior, this is a novel approach for deriving stability results for corresponding nonlinear filter. The performance of extended information filter (EIF) and GSEIF is evaluated for aircraft parameter estimation using simulated flight data generated using the MATLAB implementations. The estimation results using GSEIF are better than that obtained using EIF, especially when the initial state is not known (well), which shows that the proposed technique is really feasible for aerodynamic parameter estimation.

The purpose of the current study is to shed light on the applied reality of the human resource information systems strategy in its dimensions (using the system, training on the system, providing technical support, supporting senior administrations, providing infrastructure) and the implications of that reality on the institutional performance of the Iraqi Ministry of Defense, where the ministry’s performance is represented in the following sub-dimensions: (Service improvement, efficiency and effectiveness, creativity and innovation) that are relevant to the activities of (planning and organization, work analysis and design, training, recruitment and employment, salaries, wages and bonuses). A sample of senior leaders has been chosen as a targeted sample of (181) managers. Their opinions are surveyed according to a questionnaire prepared for this purpose. The study attempts to address problem of the absence of applied digital indicators at the Ministry from which it can derive its strategies and activities that rely on the use of human resources information systems. Consequently, the present paper aims to diagnose the sample’s level of awareness of the intellectual frameworks of the study variables, as well as identifying the relationship and mutual influence between the study variables. These variables are expected to achieve the importance of guiding leaders digitally with indicators inspired by the reality of the work of the organization’s human resources in the Ministry that leads to accurate outputs based on scientific facts. The practical side has adopted non-parametric statistical tools to test the hypotheses of the work such as the median and the range. The present study has arrived at a final conclusion that the strategy of human resources information systems has dimensions that have been working effectively, such as (supporting senior departments), while it has regressed after (using the system).
