The Fourth Industrial Revolution represents an advanced stage of technological development, characterized by the integration of digital, physical, and biological technologies, with a strong focus on smart connectivity and advanced data analysis. At the core of this revolution stands Artificial Intelligence (AI), which enables the processing of vast amounts of data, decision-making with speed and accuracy, automation of processes, and enhancement of productivity and quality. This research examines the transformative role of AI in the humanities, particularly in archaeological, historical, and geographical studies, where traditional methods face limitations in handling complex and extensive datasets.The study aims to highlight these limitations, explore the potential of AI in analyzing diverse archaeological data to uncover new patterns, examine its role in processing large historical sources, and investigate its application in spatial data analysis for environmental and urban changes. The main hypothesis posits that AI can reveal patterns and insights unattainable by conventional methods, thereby enhancing understanding of past civilizations, historical trends, and geographical dynamics.Using a descriptive-analytical methodology supported by practical examples, the research illustrates AI applications such as satellite image analysis, artifact examination, and archival data processing. The findings indicate that integrating AI with humanities research not only improves data analysis efficiency but also maintains the critical and interpretive framework of the humanities, enabling a deeper understanding of society, history, and collective awareness in the digital era.The study concluded that integrating artificial intelligence into humanities research not only improves the efficiency and speed of data analysis but also contributes to the development of the research methodology itself, by shifting from descriptive to analytical and predictive studies, while preserving the critical and interpretive dimensions of the humanities. The study also recommends strengthening collaboration between researchers in the humanities and computer science, establishing open-source Arabic digital archives, and training researchers in the use of artificial intelligence tools. This will contribute to broadening the horizons of humanities research and connecting the past with the present within an integrated scientific framework that meets the demands of the digital age.
Rapid worldwide urbanization and drastic population growth have increased the demand for new road construction, which will cause a substantial amount of natural resources such as aggregates to be consumed. The use of recycled concrete aggregate could be one of the possible ways to offset the aggregate shortage problem and reduce environmental pollution. This paper reports an experimental study of unbound granular material using recycled concrete aggregate for pavement subbase construction. Five percentages of recycled concrete aggregate obtained from two different sources with an originally designed compressive strength of 20–30 MPa as well as 31–40 MPa at three particle size levels, i.e., coarse, fine, and extra fine, were test

This paper describes DC motor speed control based on optimal Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) technique. Controller's objective is to maintain the speed of rotation of the motor shaft with a particular step response.The controller is modeled in MATLAB environment, the simulation results show that the proposed controller gives better performance and less settling time when compared with the traditional PID controller.
Background. After tooth extraction, alveolar bone resorption is inevitable. This clinical phenomenon challenges dental surgeons aiming to restore esthetic and function. Alveolar ridge preservation can be applied to minimize dimensional changes with a new socket grafting material, an autogenous dentin graft, produced by mechanically and chemically processing natural teeth. This study assessed the safety and efficacy of using autogenous dentin biomaterial in alveolar ridge preservation. Materials and Methods. Patients with nonrestorable maxillary anterior teeth bounded by natural sound teeth were included in this study. After a detailed clinical and tomographic examination, eligible participants were randomly allocated into two groups

Methodology: a descriptive study was conducted from 1 August 2013 to 1 September 2014. The sample consisted of 100 children and their mothers at Baghdad Teaching hospital in Baghdad city. A questionnaire was prepared based on the previous literature review, meeting mothers of children with colostomy, and the Zarit Burden Interview scale. Data has collected through the application of questionnaire and interview techniques. Results: T
