In the rapidly evolving landscape of resource management, optimizing resource allocation is crucial to ensure efficient and cost-effective operations. This paper explores the concept of Trapezoidal Fuzzy Assignment Problem (TFAP) as a novel approach to address resource allocation challenges in dynamic environments. TFAP leverages fuzzy logic principles to provide a flexible and adaptive framework for resource assignment, accommodating uncertainties and variations in resource demands. In this study, a real problem was used: assignment five workers to five machines with different tasks, with trapezoidal fuzzy working times. This problem is analyzed by a trapezoidal fuzzy cost by using a method called Ranking Trapezoidal Fuzzy function to find a Optimizing Resource Allocation to the problem, This algorithm is very effective in determining the optimal assignment and trapezoidal cost function, in the future other non-traditional methods will be used and compared to find solutions to problems involving trapezoidal fuzzy costs, In future expansion, other unconventional methods will be used and compared to find solutions to problems involving fuzzy trapezoidal costs..

This study aims to examine the correlation between self-esteem, and tax compliance among decision-makers of two state banks in Iraq that are traded on the Iraqi Stock Exchange namely, Bank of Baghdad and Al-Mansour Bank for Investment. Adopting a mixed-methods approach, the study identifies ethical responsibility, confident decision making, and trust in authorities as key factors influencing tax compliance. Quantitative results show a positive significant relationship between self-esteem and tax compliance, with self-esteem being the best predictor. Qualitative data analysis using thematic analysis illuminates further the ethical dimension between compliance and ethical responsibility with a moral duty to comply and the trust for the governing authority to be fair and expert. Although both banks appeared to comply with taxing authorities, the "tool" they choose differed based on culture and their interactions with regulators. This has aligned with evidence to inform practitioners and policymakers specifically on the organizational level, particularly through the findings from the compliance research into psychological dimensions.

The research is based on the assumption that the appropriate selection of therapeutic healthcare service locations has a moral relationship and impact on beneficiary satisfaction. Therefore, this research aims to study the spatial considerations in selecting the locations of government therapeutic healthcare centers and their impact on beneficiary satisfaction (patients or visitors). The research used a descriptive-analytical approach, involving an examination of the nature of existing government therapeutic healthcare centers in Mosul City. A survey was designed and distributed to a sample of 115 staff members at the healthcare centers, as well as a number of beneficiaries of their healthcare services. The research findings indicated that the appropriate selection of healthcare center location did not have a significant impact on enhancing beneficiary satisfaction with their therapeutic and medical services, primarily due to shortcomings in providing appropriate healthcare services, especially medications. Additionally, the increasing number of private medical centers and clinics competing in offering suitable services was identified as a contributing factor.

Fashion involvement, arousal, and pleasure have been identified as key factors influencing impulse buying behavior in the fashion industry. However, the specific emotional mechanisms through which fashion involvement drives impulse purchases remain unclear. This systematic review aimed to critically examine and synthesize the existing literature on the mediating roles of arousal and pleasure in the relationship between fashion involvement and impulse buying behavior. A comprehensive search of electronic databases (Scopus, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and Business Source Complete) was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. Studies were included if they were peer-reviewed, empirical articles examining at least two of the key variables (fashion involvement, arousal, pleasure, impulse buying) and written in English. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT). Twenty-four studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the qualitative synthesis. The studies employed various research designs (quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods) and were conducted in diverse cultural contexts. The findings consistently showed a positive relationship between fashion involvement and impulse buying behavior. Moreover, arousal and pleasure were found to be significant mediators in this relationship. Fashion-involved consumers experienced heightened arousal and pleasure when exposed to fashion stimuli, which subsequently increased their likelihood of engaging in impulse purchases. The interplay between arousal and pleasure was also highlighted, with arousal influencing pleasure, which in turn affected impulse buying. Contextual factors, such as store atmosphere and social influences, were identified as important moderators of these relationships. The findings of this review contribute to a deeper understanding of the emotional drivers of fashion-oriented impulse buying and have important implications for fashion retailers and marketers. By creating arousing and pleasurable experiences for fashion-involved consumers, marketers can effectively tap into their emotional states and encourage spontaneous purchases. Future research should explore the role of individual differences, cultural factors, and digital technologies in shaping the emotional mechanisms underlying impulse buying in the fashion industry.
