2 5 - PublicationAn Analysis of the Impact of Cyber Operations on Intenational Law and Diplomacy: A Case Study of Russia and Ukraine(2023)Al Naqbi, NadyaThe main focus of this thesis has been to understand the role of cyber operations of different states and analyse how international laws and diplomacy play a role in effective cyber operations. The Russia-Ukraine conflict situation is taken into consideration to understand the influence of cyber operations. Several international laws govern the relations between different states; however, there is an absence of a proper legal framework that governs the cyber operational activities of different states. Different studies have been conducted to understand the different cyber attacks experienced throughout the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the implications they had on the nations. The challenges to the effective implementation of international cyberspace laws have also been analysed for the effective development of international laws and diplomatic responses for resolving this conflict.

2 1 - PublicationAssessing the Impact of Artificial Intelligence implementation in Hospitals on Healthcare Economics: A meta‐Analysis(2023)Hussein, Muayyad MohammadBackground: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into healthcare systems has been postulated to carry significant economic implications. As hospitals globally pivot towards AIcentered solutions, understanding these economic outcomes becomes pivotal. Objective: This meta-analysis aimed to elucidate the economic impact of AI adoption in hospitals, gauging its influence on metrics such as return on investment (ROI) and cost-efficiency. Methods: Leveraging the PRISMA framework, relevant studies were sourced, screened, and selected. The Cochrane Collaboration's risk of bias tool assessed study quality. Pooled data results, heterogeneity, and sensitivity analyses were conducted, with the overarching findings presented through forest plots. Results: AI's integration in hospitals showcased a moderate positive economic impact (Hedges' g = 0.65, 95% CI [0.50, 0.80], p < 0.001). Subgroup analyses indicated nuances based on AI technologies, with neural networks in predictive analytics yielding the highest economic benefits. ROI-centric studies indicated substantial positive effects. Notable heterogeneity was observed, emphasizing the diverse nature of AI implementations and economic metrics. Conclusion: AI's introduction into hospital settings yields positive economic outcomes, solidifying its stance as a transformative force in healthcare economics. However, strategic, informed integration is imperative to maximize these benefits.
4 1 - PublicationAutomation and Artificial Intelligence within the Financial Industry(2023)Al Marzooqi, Jassim YehyaThe importance of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation have been at the forefront of research to understand their impacts and potential improvements they may bring to financial management and internal operations of financial institutions. Literature has found an acceleration of digital adoption within financial institutions due to changing expectations from customers, increased competition from new digital entrants, and the necessity of improving operational efficiencies given revenue expansion with more customers to service. This paper seeks to analyze the impact and long-term benefits of AI and automation in enhancing operational efficiencies and financial management within financial institutions, and understanding whether the investment or banking sector is more conducive to AI adoption. The paper conducts a quantitative & qualitative time-series case study analysis across identified financial institutions and correlating the percentage of services offered without human intervention vs. enhancements in operational efficiencies measured as cost vs. output (net profitability). The results from the analysis indicate that automation and AI adoption enhance both operational and financial efficiency within financial institutions, with a higher improvement witnessed within investment firms as compared to banks due to similar transaction.

The objectives of the study were - to explore the principal characteristics of good governance; to understand whether the in Abu Dhabi higher educational Institutes observed good governance practices; and to analyse to what extent good governance is associated with quality of education in Abu Dhabi HEIs. Two hypotheses were formulated in the study and to test these a quantitative survey method has been adopted. A self-constructed questionnaire was developed on the google forms and it was distributed through mail to the sample population. The population of the study comprised of 32 staff members working with higher educational Institutes of Abu Dhabi. The results revealed that the good governance is strongly and positively correlated to the quality of education within the context of Abu Dhabi higher educational Institutes. Furthermore, the results also revealed that the governance practices within these Institutes were unable to meet the standards of good governance. Among the eight characteristics those were tested, only two elements – transparency and equity are the two characteristics in which these Institutes have reached the expected standards. However, the other six characteristics (accountability, autonomy, stakeholder participation, compliance, efficiency, and strategic vision) weren’t adopted as per the expectation of the participants. Thus, to achieve good governance it was recommended that the Institutes adopt leadership training, involving stakeholders in board and raising awareness to make policy changes.
