All major sectors are rapidly embracing AI technology to provide rapid and quality services to patients. Along with opportunities, the integration of AI in healthcare has some ethical and legal challenges. The present paper aims to discuss ethical and legal concerns of integrating AI technology into the Jordanian healthcare system. Focus-group discussion (FGD), a qualitative method, was applied to collect primary data from six participants. Results show that the Jordanian government is proactive in integrating AI in core sectors, including healthcare. There are some legal provisions to promote secure and safe AI-driven services. However, the legal system does not have a special law that could regulate AI-system. It is highly recommended that the laws should be much more comprehensive, and the training of ethics should be the priority in the Jordanian healthcare system.

This study analyzes the collective impact of BNPL services, credit card uses, overdraft availability, and weekly income on impulse buying behaviors, focusing on their implications for environmental sustainability. Employing a quantitative approach, the study surveyed approximately 153 Palestinian university students, utilizing a systematically designed questionnaire to gather data on impulse buying tendencies and financial behaviors. The analysis revealed that BNPL usage significantly predicts impulse buying tendencies, explaining approximately 39.5% of the variance in these behaviors. Additionally, a negative correlation between weekly income and impulse buying was found, suggesting more calculated purchasing decisions at higher income levels. This research contributes to understanding consumer behavior in digital retail environments, highlighting the transformative impact of electronic payment methods on young adults' impulse buying and the need for a balanced approach in consumer finance and retail strategies in the digital age.
