Iraq was approved for the period 2004-2017 using a model (Toda Yamamota Causility) The desire to provide information on the level of risk before lending to the government or financial and banking institutions to assess the solvency and the desire to meet debts to meet current and future financial obligations in a timely manner, and the degree of rating is not an absolute fact, but expect to the current financial situation may err and may infect, However, creditworthiness indicators remain the most important criteria for assessing the likelihood of the borrower not repaying the loan amount. The researcher concluded that the most important variable affecting the sovereign creditworthiness of Iraq is debt service, especially in the short term On the other hand, the availability of liquidity gives great flexibility to Iraq in the payment of its obligations. https://jitm.ut.ac.ir/article_74760_0965f4d66ccafb1ca4c0f16c41e5fb1d.pdfUnivrsity Of Tehran PressJournal of Information Technology Management2980-797211420191201Spatial Analysis of Dry Valley Floods in Salah Al-Din Governorate and Ramadan Valley37557476110.22059/jitm.2019.74761ENAli MukhlifSabeaDepartment of Geography, College of Education for Humanities, Tikrit University, Tikrit, Iraq.NummanHussain AteaDepartment of Geography, College of Education for Humanities, Tikrit University, Tikrit, Iraq.Sedeak MustafaJasimDepartment of Geography, College of Education for Humanities, Tikrit University, Tikrit, Iraq.Hussain AbidIsmaielDepartment of Geography, College of Education for Humanities, Tikrit University, Tikrit, Iraq.Journal Article20200122Flash floods are considered to be one the worst kind of hazard. They are characterized by their suddenness, rarity, small scale, heavy rain and peak discharge, unpredictable, fast and violent movement. It has severe effects on human society in the form life losses, damages to property, roads, communication and on natural settings. Advances in hydrology, meteorology, engineering, using of GIS and remote sensing still not able to increase real time forecast. Researchers from developed countries have stressed to more focus to improve very short time an effective early warning system with collaboration of local communities for flash flood risk supervision. The data were combined with the Geographical Information System to analyze the temporal and spatial distribution of flood events in Salah Al-Din Governorate and Ramadan Valley. The analysis of the spatial distribution of the floods proves that most of the occurrences are recorded in the southern part of the study area. Most of the flooded areas in the study area are mainly pre-classified areas within the areas threatened by the flood due to the low level of its surface and its proximity to the course of the main valley (Wadi Jarnav), which flows into the Tigris River. The proposed method estimates the localization of sites prone to flood, and it may be used for flood hazard assessment mapping and for flood risk management. It was therefore, suggested that government agencies and policy makers should adopt this powerful technique for reliable and well synthesized information which is a vital component of flood risk assessment and planning.https://jitm.ut.ac.ir/article_74761_cfcc3d6ee3ba7dc8fa9d6d3d93befeba.pdfUnivrsity Of Tehran PressJournal of Information Technology Management2980-797211420191201The Impact of Rational Governance on the Financial Performance of Industrial Companies Sample (Pharmaceutical Companies) Listed in Amman Stock Exchange56697476310.22059/jitm.2019.74763ENMustafa IsmeelKhaleelTikrit University, Iraq.Saad SabbarNasifTikrit University, Iraq.Dahham LateefDahhamTikrit University, Iraq.Journal Article20200122The study aimed to determine the impact between rational governance and financial performance on a sample of pharmaceutical companies listed in the Amman Stock Exchange.

It is a systematic mechanism and a comprehensive tool for predicting events, including unexpected events, and their impacts. This paper is a conceptual study. It aims at designing a model for testing the mediation effect of information technology (IT) quality on the relationship between the enterprise risk management (henceforth, ERM) practice and the financial performance of financial institutions in Iraq. Based on reviewing the literature on ERM, it is found that ERM (leadership roles, risk culture and compliance) has a positive and important effect on the financial performance of financial institution in Iraq. In addition, this paper shows that the IT quality is a good medium for increasing the interaction between practices of ERM and financial performance positively. It provides a practical and theoretical contribution to practices of ERM in listed companies in Iraq. It also has major implications for professional practitioners, regulators and academics in Iraq. Finally, this paper contributes to building relevant knowledge in the field of leadership role, risk culture, compliance and IT quality.https://jitm.ut.ac.ir/article_74764_58749327710e9cdc929a4e3f9e837494.pdfUnivrsity Of Tehran PressJournal of Information Technology Management2980-797211420191201Effective Learning to Rank for the Persian Web Content921097395010.22059/jitm.2019.284726.2377ENAmir HoseinKeyhanipourAssistant Professor, Computer Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, College of Farabi, University of Tehran, Iran.Journal Article20190703Persian language is one of the most widely used languages in the Web environment. Hence, the Persian Web includes invaluable information that is required to be retrieved effectively. Similar to other languages, ranking algorithms for the Persian Web content, deal with different challenges, such as applicability issues in real-world situations as well as the lack of user modeling. CF-Rank, as a recently proposed learning to rank data, aims to deal with such issues by the classifier fusion idea. CF-Rank generates a few click-through features, which provide a compact representation of a given primitive dataset. By constructing the primitive classifiers on each category of click-through features and aggregating their decisions by the use of information fusion techniques, CF-Rank has become a successful ranking algorithm in English datasets. In this paper, CF-Rank is customized for the Persian Web content. Evaluation results of this algorithm on the dotIR dataset indicate that the customized CF-Rank outperforms baseline rankings. Especially, the improvement is more noticeable at the top of ranked lists, which are observed most of the time by the Web users. According to the NDCG@1 and MAP evaluation criteria, comparing the CF-Rank with the preeminent baseline algorithm on the dotIR dataset indicates an improvement of 30 percent and 16.5 percent, respectively.https://jitm.ut.ac.ir/article_73950_99d86fa27f1884be43845248be832181.pdf
