THE IMPACT OF ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING (ERP) IMPLEMENTATION ON SUSTAINABILITY PERFORMANCE IN HEALTHCARE AND THE MEDIATOR EFFECT OF JCI
(An-Najah National University, 2025-04-17) Abu Al Haj, Ebaa Maher
The integration of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems in healthcare organizations presents a significant opportunity to enhance operational efficiency and improve accreditation outcomes. However, the relationship between ERP implementation and sustainability performance, particularly through the lens of Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation, remains underexplored. This study addresses this gap by investigating how various factors, such as clinical error reduction, operational productivity, data analytics, and resource optimization, mediate the effects of JCI accreditation on the relationship between ERP implementation and sustainability performance.
To conduct this research, a sample of 53 administrative staff from two hospitals in Nablus and Jerusalem were surveyed for this research. This approach differs from most prior research, where subjects were normally professionals with long experience in management and technology fields. In this context, the research will employ a more diverse sample to enrich the understanding of ERP systems’ capabilities to support sustainability objectives in healthcare organizations. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to quantify and summarize key variables within the population. Statistical software was employed to conduct correlation and regression analyses, providing a robust framework for interpreting the relationships among variables, like SPSS , Smart PLS .
The key findings indicate a statistically significant positive relationship between implementing ERP and getting JCI certification. This supports the hypothesis that ERP increases the likelihood of meeting JCI standards. However, contrary to the existing literature, our study found no significant influence of either ERP or JCI on sustainable performance. This suggests that organizations have problems aligning their ERP systems with sustainable objectives because of fragmented processes and scant integration into strategic goals.
Based on these findings, it is recommended that healthcare organizations align their ERP systems with sustainability goals. This can be done by promoting better coordination between business units on strategic targets and encouraging staff to take part in sustainability ventures. Future studies need to follow up on these dynamics in more detail to discover how they can best influence overall healthcare practice towards sustainability.

Sanad
(2024) Sarah Hinno; Marah Direeni
Sanad Organization. It is an association for children with special needs such as children with autism, Down syndrome, speech problems, and learning difficulties The association provides several services to children, including evaluating and rehabilitating children with special needs and providing psychological, physical, and speech therapy services. The association suffers from management problems, as they are still carrying out their organization operations on paper, and there is no
digital system to organize their administrative matters.
So, in order to assist them with their administrative needs, we thought of creating a mobile application. This application will be used by three types of users: administration, specialists, and children’s parents, so that each person has specific powers and uses different from the other type. The Sanad app serves three user groups: parents, specialists, and administrators. Each group has roles and features that are customized to meet their needs.
Administrators have the authority to oversee and manage the organization's operations, including adding and deleting children or specialists, scheduling sessions, and accessing detailed information about children and specialists. Admin can efficiently handle vacation requests from specialists, create updates and announcements regarding upcoming events, workshop. Furthermore, administrators can converse with experts directly by using the chat feature.
Specialists utilize the app to optimize their workflow, with features allowing them to view their daily schedules, share notes about children among their peers, communicate with parents, and evaluate children's progress during therapy sessions. This fosters collaboration and ensures continuity of care for each child.
Parents play an integral role in their child's development journey through the Sanad

(An-Najah National University, 2025-01-21) Abu-Al-Darak, Ahmad Abdelfattah
Background and Introduction:
This study assesses the effect of job rotation on job satisfaction and organizational commitment among nurses. It, therefore, sets out to identify whether there is a positive relationship between the factors; that is, the effect of job rotation on these two variables and the strength of the relationship between them.
Methodology: Cross-sectional study among 308 nurses from the North West Bank, Palestine. Data Collection: A structured questionnaire regarding job rotation, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment was used to collect the data. Methods: Descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analyses were conducted with SPSS version 24.0.
Results: There were high positive linear relationships between job rotation and job satisfaction and organizational commitment. It was also observed that job satisfaction is such a strong predictor of organizational commitment, accounting for about 42% of its variance.
Conclusion: In this respect, job rotation enriches job satisfaction and organizational commitment; hence, it is a worthwhile management strategy in healthcare. The results also point to the need for support at work if nursing staff is to be retained.

EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT FORMS OF DATE PALM (ELAEIS QUINEENSIS JACQ.) LEAVES ON THE PERFORMANCE AND SOME PRODUCTIVE AND REPRODUCTIVE TRAITS OF CROSSBRED EWES
(An-Najah National University, 2025-02-27) Shakhshir, Ali Abdo Ali
Abstract
This research comprised two experiments. The first experiment aimed to examine how various preparations of date palm leaves (DPL), including chopped, ensiled, and alkali-treated forms, affected the performance and reproductive efficiency of crossbred ewe lambs. A total of twenty female ewes were used at age of 6-7 months were fed the DPL at 15% of their diets for a period of 6 weeks. DPL was replaced similar percent of wheat hay in the control diet. The ewes were split into four experimental groups, with each group consisting of five ewes, and each ewe treated as a separate replicate. Ewes were fed as the following: Group 1 (G1) served as the control, consisting of 70% concentrate and 30% wheat straw, for the experimental groups G2 to G4, various forms of date palm leaves (DPL) were incorporated into the diets to replace half of the wheat straw. A digestion trial was conducted after 28 days of the feeding trial. Ewes were exposed to rams were conception rates and other reproductive traits were recorded. Prior to conception ewes were examined for blood parameters and a digestibility trial was performed. The results indicated that form of DPL had no significant effects on all study parameters. The second experiment consisting of 28 cross bred lactating ewes were used to examine the DPL forms on milk yield and quality, blood parameters and nutrient digestibility. The ewes were organized into four experimental groups, with each group containing seven ewes, and each ewe regarded as an individual replicate. Ewes were fed similar diets as in experiment 1. Results of experiment 2 indicated the lack of effects of forms of DPL on the tested parameters. In experiments 1 and 2 the economic efficiency of feeding DPL was examined. In conclusion, incorporating date palm leaves (DPL), whether in their raw or treated forms (ensiled or alkali-treated), offers significant benefits by lowering feed costs and contributing to environmental protection. However, further research is needed to determine the optimal treatment and inclusion levels for these diets.

Background: Globally, the incidence and mortality rates of cancer are ranking withrising., with breast cancer ranking with the leading causes of death for women worldwide, including in Palestine (Devi, 2025; Elshami et al., 2022). This disease greatly affects the quality of life of affected women. Social support, meanwhile, plays an essential role in mitigating challenges and enhancing well-being in daily life.
Aim: the main aim of current study is to assess the quality of life (QoL) among women diagnosed as breast cancer, evaluate the level of social support they receive, and examine the relationship between QoL and social support.
Method: A cross-sectional study design was employed, involving 210 women diagnosed with breast cancer recruited from daycare units in hospitals across the West Bank of Palestine. A questionnaire was used to measure quality of life, the Arabic version of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Scale (EORTC-C30), and to assess the support provided to women we used the Multidimensional Perceived Social Support (MPSS).
Results: This study enrolled 210 participants women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, the mean of age was 50.54 ± 11.83 years, regarding to marital status majority of them were married 72.4%, and 73.8% were unemployed. 51.4% of respondents resided in urban, about financial support the majority of them 73.3% depended on their family members. The mean QoL score was 52.33, reflecting a moderate level of overall well-being. A significant positive correlation was identified between social support and QoL (r = 0.65, p < 0.001). Furthermore, 78% of the participants reported moderate to high levels of social support.
Conclusion: This study highlights the critical role of social support in improving the quality of life of women with breast cancer. The findings emphasize the importance of distinguishing types of social support and implementing tailored interventions to address individual needs effectively. Such personalized strategies are vital for enhancing QoL in this population.
