This research aimed to determine the training needs of female Qur'an teachers in Sultanate of Oman which are about the teaching skills and the impact of governorate's variable (workplace) on the training needs of female Qur'an teachers in Sultanate of Oman. The descriptive approach is used in this research. The researcher developed the research's instrument which contains 50 variables that represent the training skills in 10 dimensions. The constancy of the instrument was confirmed for the internal consistency based on the Cronbach's alpha and the correlation coefficient showed that the measure has a high degree of structural honesty after the instrument was presented to a group of arbitrators. The sample consists of all female Qur'an teachers in Sultanate of Oman which was distributed randomly to 249 of them. Through using the SPSS, the results show that the level of training needs in its overall average gets 3.53 which estimated to be (high), and at the level of other fields, the averages ranged between 3.71 – 3.04 with ratings between (large-medium). The results showed statistically significant differences in the variable of the workplace (Governorate) regarding the training needs for the female Qur'an teachers in Sultanate of Oman, in favor of the governorates with the lowest averages as follows: Musandam Governorate, then Al Dhahira Governorate and at last Muscat Governorate. Based on the results, a number of recommendations and proposals were made to provide the most important training needs of teachers, design, and implementation of training programs according to needs, as well as proposals for further studies to complement the topic.

The study discussed the impact of administrative creativity to raise the job performance of administrative leaders in Al-Dakhliyah governorate in the Sultanate of Oman. The problem arose in the need to raise the job performance of administrative leaders, and to address the factors that led to it (originality and intellectual fluency), as it aimed to measure the extent of the impact of administrative creativity on the job performance of administrative leaders in government institutions in Al-Dakhliyah Governorate in the Sultanate of Oman. The study utilized the quantitative descriptive approach to achieve its goals and using the theory of creativity (Hang & Aiken, 1970) to reach the best expectation of job performance in return for provided incentives and promotions, qualification and training. A questionnaire was constructed for data collection, where it was built from (27) pharse, and a stratified sample of 280 respondents was obtained. The data were processed using multiple regression analysis, and the results have reached a direct impact of administrative creativity rate of (64.2%) among the administrative leader on job performance, and the most important recommendations are to conduct similar studies on other governorates that may face same challenges in job performance.

Abstract The ability to predict menstrual cycle length to a high degree of precision enables female athletes to track their period and tailor their training and nutrition correspondingly knowing when to push harder when to prioritise recovery and how to minimise the impact of menstrual symptoms on performance. Such individualisation is possible if cycle length can be predicted to a high degree of accuracy. To achieve this, a hybrid predictive model was built using data on 16,990 cycles collected from a sample of 2,178women (mean age 33.89 years, range 14.98 - 47.10, number of menstrual cycles ranging from 4 - 53). To capture the within-subject temporal correlation, a mixed-effect state-space model was fitted incorporating a Bayesian approach for process forecasting to predict the duration (in days) of the next menstrual cycle. The modelling procedure was split into three steps(i) a time trend component using a random walk with an overdispersion parameter, (ii) an autocorrelation component using an autoregressive moving-average (ARMA) model, and (iii) a linear predictor to account for covariates (e.g. injury, stomach cramps, training intensity). The inclusion of an overdispersion parameter suggested that 26.81% [24.14%,29.58%] of cycles in the sample were overdispersed where the random walk standard deviation under a non-overdispersed cycle is 1.0530 [1.0060,1.0526] days while under an overdispersed cycle it increased to 4.7386 [4.5379,4.9492] days. To assess the performance and prediction accuracy of the model, each woman’s last observation was used as test data. The Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Concordance Correlation Coefficient (CCC) and Pearson correlation coefficient (r) between the observed and predicted values were calculated. The model had an RMSE of 1.6126 days, a precision of 0.7501 and overall accuracy of 0.9855. In the absence of hormonal measurements, knowing how aspects of physiology and psychology are changing across the menstrual cycle has the potential to help female athletes personalise their training, nutrition and recovery tailored to their cycle to sustain peak performance at the highest level and gain a competitive edge. In conclusion, the hybrid model presented here is a useful approach for predicting menstrual cycle length which in turn can be used to support female athlete wellness to optimise performance

The study aimed to exam the impact of using the analytical procedures on reducing the cost of a tax audit in the Jordanian Income and Sales Tax Department. To achieve the aim of the study, the analytical descriptive approach has been used and a questionnaire has been designed and given out to the study sample, which represented from the auditors of Directorate of senior taxpayers and directorates of medial taxpayers in the income tax department and sales who work in these directorates. The appropriate statistical methods have been used to find results. The findings showed that using the analytical procedures led to reducing the cost of a tax audit in all auditing stages. The stage, which has the most impact of using the analytical procedures on reducing the cost, is the final auditing stage followed by the planning stage and the implementation (fieldwork) stage.
