From the Education Paradox to Climate Challenges: An Institutional Analysis of Rural Women's Empowerment in the Jordanian Agricultural Sector
This study aims to provide a systematic institutional analysis of the persistent gap between the high educational attainment of Jordanian women and their low level of economic participation, a phenomenon commonly referred to as the “Jordanian Paradox.” The analysis focuses specifically on rural women in the agricultural sector, who face intersecting institutional and environmental constraints that are further intensified by the accelerating impacts of climate change. The study adopts a descriptive–analytical approach that integrates quantitative and qualitative data, drawing on an integrated theoretical framework combining the Social Relations Approach and the Capability Approach. Quantitative analysis is based on data from the Labor Force Survey (LFS) and the World Bank Enterprise Survey (WBES), alongside the proposal of an innovative methodology—the Geo-Institutional Principal–Agent Analysis (GIPA)—to incorporate spatial environmental and institutional constraints into economic modeling. The findings indicate that women’s low economic participation is driven by multidimensional structural constraints that are particularly pronounced in rural contexts. WBES data reveal that women-led enterprises are significantly less likely to obtain commercial credit due to collateral requirements, reflecting patterns of indirect discrimination. These challenges are further compounded by limited provision of public resources and increasing water scarcity. The study concludes that addressing the Jordanian Paradox requires transformative reforms that directly target institutional constraints through an integrated approach linking economic empowerment, food security, and climate adaptation, with a focus on rights, access to resources, and representation.

A qualitative Comparative Study of the Circular Economy and the Green Pyramid Rating System for Construction and Demolition Waste Management in Algeria
This study provides a qualitative comparative assessment of the Circular Economy (CE) framework and the Green Pyramid Rating System (GPRS) as emerging approaches for improving construction and demolition waste (CDW) management in Algeria. The research aims to examine the advantages, limitations, and contextual applicability of both systems, and to explore their potential integration into a coherent sustainability model suited to the Algerian construction sector. A descriptive–comparative qualitative methodology was adopted, combining a systematic literature review, a case study of Algeria, and expert input collected from 21 professionals representing engineering, environmental management, and policy sectors. Data were analysed thematically and synthesised using a structured SWOT matrix. Findings show that CE offers strong potential for resource efficiency, waste minimisation, and job creation, yet remains constrained by limited recycling infrastructure and high initial investment requirements. In contrast, the GPRS provides measurable sustainability criteria at the project level and strengthens energy and resource efficiency, but suffers from low national adoption, limited professional capacity, and competition from global rating systems. Results also indicate that integrating CE’s macro-level material circularity with GPRS’s micro-level performance standards could enhance environmental outcomes and support Algeria’s transition toward sustainable construction practices. The study recommends expanding recycling infrastructure, developing regulatory incentives for green construction, localising GPRS criteria for the Algerian context, and adopting a hybrid CE–GPRS implementation roadmap to advance national CDW management strategies.
Saudi Folktales and the Cultural Imagination in the Narratives of Abdo Khal (A Semiotic Approach to the Hijazi Tale of "Omar the Orphan")
Saudi folk tales contain a semantic richness that reflects the richness of the Saudi human spirit, the son of the Arabian Peninsula, and the breadth of his imagination and its connection to him and his place. The study deals with one of the tales recorded by Abdo Khal in (Hamida Said: Hijazi Legends), in which the effects of Arab culture appear through its symbols and its influence by the geographical environment with its places and creatures, as in (the palm tree) and (the moon), which played a pivotal role in the tale. The study then reveals the cultural imagination and its connotations by addressing the structure of the content. The study approaches the story with the semiotics of narration and the semiotics of culture to conclude with the overlap of the path of the selves in the “factor structure” and the monitoring of the opposing dualities in the “semiotic universe” to reveal the memory of the text belonging to the field of (existence/non-existence).
Material Culture and the Social, Economic, Architectural, and Religious Transformations of Palestine during the Neolithic and Chalcolithic Periods: A Comprehensive Overview
This study explores the archaeological remains of Palestine from the Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods, based on excavations carried out over the past two centuries. The research aims to highlight how climate changes during these periods affected patterns and methods of subsistence, and to present the key intellectual and material achievements of each period within a streamlined narrative. This approach helps readers follow the developments in social structures, religious thought, economic systems, tools and pottery production, architectural styles, and burial customs along with their grave goods. The study uses a descriptive-analytical approach, reviewing relevant literature and conducting comparative analysis to arrive at the most accurate interpretations. Results show that the warmer climate in Palestine during the Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods played a major role in promoting permanent settlements, the creation of agricultural and craft villages, and significant lifestyle changes. The research also finds that people in these periods pioneered innovations that positively impacted their quality of life and influenced later societies—such as developing agriculture, domesticating animals, advancing various industries, and shaping religious beliefs.
‎Artificial Intelligence in the Service of Interpreting: The Hajj Season in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (2024–2025) as an Applied Case Study
The study aims to: (1) evaluate the effectiveness of AI tools in supporting interpreting services, (2) identify their practical applications during the Hajj season, and (3) analyze their capacity to operate in complementarity with human interpreters. It is based on the hypothesis that properly integrated AI technologies can enhance the accuracy, quality, and efficiency of interpreting without replacing professional interpreters. Methodologically, the study adopts a descriptive-analytical approach, combining a critical review of relevant Arabic and international literature with an analytical examination of initiatives implemented under Saudi Arabia’s “Smart Hajj’’ programs. The results indicate that AI systems have shown considerable effectiveness in facilitating real-time multilingual communication, particularly in urgent and operational contexts. However, the findings reveal significant limitations in culturally and religiously sensitive situations, where AI-generated outputs often lack contextual depth and require human intervention. These results confirm that optimal performance is achieved when AI solutions complement human expertise, especially in interpreting religious terminology and managing culturally nuanced interactions, Based on the findings, the study recommends providing specialized training programs to improve interpreters’ competence in using AI-based tools, strengthening digital infrastructure in the holy sites to ensure the reliability of technological solutions, and encouraging further research into AI-supported interpreting in large-scale religious and humanitarian settings. The study concludes that while AI offers promising opportunities for improving multilingual communication during Hajj, it must be integrated within a hybrid model that maintains human oversight to ensure accuracy, cultural appropriateness, and communicative effectiveness.
Content Analysis of Social Media Posts and Their Role in Supporting Knowledge Management Processes in the Saudi Ministry of Education
This study aimed to examine the role of the Ministry of Education’s social networks in supporting knowledge management processes by employing a mixed analytical approach that integrated qualitative and quantitative techniques. Advanced tools were utilized, including MAXQDA for network and content analysis, Brand24 for digital sentiment analysis, and Tw Extract for generating a precise quantitative sample of tweets. The study population consisted of the Ministry’s posts on the X platform, while the sample included 200 tweets published between 2020 and 2025, in addition to sentiment data related to the hashtag #الوظائف_التعليمية during 16–25 April 2025. The analysis focused on the four core knowledge management processes: knowledge creation, organization, sharing, and application. Results showed varying levels of implementation, with knowledge sharing scoring 93%, followed by knowledge creation at 86%, knowledge application at 86%, and knowledge organization at 80%. Sentiment analysis indicated predominantly neutral reactions (67%), compared to 23% positive and 10% negative sentiments. These findings highlight the Ministry’s strong informational presence contrasted with limited interactive and participatory knowledge practices. The study recommends enhancing mechanisms for capturing user-driven knowledge, developing participatory tools to improve application effectiveness, and integrating sentiment analysis into decision-making to strengthen the Ministry’s digital knowledge ecosystem and foster more interactive and comprehensive knowledge processes across its platforms.

The Expected Economic Impacts of Sudan's Accession to the WTO: The Case of the Banking Sector 1970-2008
This study investigated the anticipated economic impacts of Sudan’s accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO), focusing on the banking sector’s role from 1970 to 2008, prior to South Sudan’s secession. The research aims to support Sudan’s preparation for WTO membership by analyzing the effects of financial liberalization, which has yielded both positive and negative outcomes in other developing countries. Employing a dual methodology combining empirical and descriptive approaches, the study relies on secondary data sources. It hypothesizes that Sudanese financial indicators positively correlate with growth indicators and that financial reforms contribute to financial development and economic growth. Results, derived in two stages, indicate that financial indicators significantly explain only two of four growth indicators, attributed to inadequate financing of the agricultural sector. The second stage confirms the partial presence of prerequisites, such as sound institutions and macroeconomic stability, necessary for effective financial liberalization. The study anticipates that WTO accession will enhance domestic bank efficiency and supervision. Recommendations include addressing barriers to financing the agricultural sector, strengthening central bank measures to tackle non-performing loans, and raising awareness among monetary authorities of the significant negative relationships between certain growth and financial indicators.
Evaluation of Student Achievement Levels: A Framework for Advancing Academic Outcomes
The current study aimed to measure the impact of educational plans based on accurate classification in improving students’ academic performance, as well as to assess the teachers’ ability to classify students objectively and precisely, The research population consisted of third-grade female elementary students, and the sample included (41) students, The study adopted the procedural approach as its methodology and employed various tools, including pre- and post-diagnostic and analytical tests, classroom observations, achievement records, performance reports, the “Madrasati” platform, and data analysis programs (Excel), The study reached several key findings, the most notable of which are:1.Student level analysis is an effective and essential tool for improving academic performance and enhancing learning outcomes in a systematic and realistic manner, The results confirmed that the accuracy of level analysis and the use of diverse assessment tools contribute to a deeper understanding of students’ needs, which positively reflects on the design of effective educational plans that take into account differences in their levels, whether in remedial or enrichment aspects.2. The study also highlighted the importance of linking analysis results with blended learning and utilizing the tools of the “Madrasati” platform to support self-directed and guided learning, along with continuous follow-up on the implementation of plans and analyzing results over two time periods to compare progress and assess the actual impact. The teacher’s role emerged as a central factor in the success of this approach, indicating the need for specialized training programs to enhance teachers’ competencies in analyzing levels and building effective teaching plans. The study made several recommendations: the most important of which is the necessity of integrating the effectiveness of student classification within the school planning system and activating the role of parents as partners in the educational process through effective and continuous communication.
A New Paradigm of Institutional South–South Cooperation: Arab Strategies in the South Pacific and Their Impact on Global Governance
In the context of global transformations in the energy structure, Arab countries and Pacific Island nations are moving toward a new phase of institutional cooperation. This study relies on theories of institutional economics, international institutionalism, and South-South cooperation, using document analysis and comparative studies to illustrate the development of cooperation between the two sides. The study focuses on the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar in the fields of infrastructure, renewable energy, and diplomacy. Since 2010, the two parties have established cooperation mechanisms that included at least two ministerial conferences, investments exceeding $50 million in renewable energy, and growing financial and trade agreements. By 2022, non-oil trade between the UAE and Pacific Island countries surpassed $100 million, and its solar energy projects contributed to reducing diesel consumption by one million liters annually and cutting CO2 emissions by 2,750 tons. The results indicate that Arab intervention is reshaping the strategic balance in the South Pacific, challenging traditional powers such as China, the United States, and Australia, and presenting a cooperative model between South-South countries. The study suggests a tripartite framework: Emirati technology – Chinese manufacturing – local application, along with the establishment of a permanent secretariat and a climate risk fund. This model provides an institutional contribution to global governance and offers strategic insights for China and other countries in the Indo-Pacific region.
U.S. Interests in the Middle East and the Tools for Their Protection
The study shows that American interests in the Middle East constitute a fundamental pillar of its global strategy, given the geopolitical, economic, and security importance of the region, as The Middle East supplies the United States with approximately 17% of its oil imports, hosts over 30,000 American troops in strategic military bases, and accounts for more than $85 billion in annual trade with the U.S., highlighting its economic, security, and geopolitical significance. The United States has employed a mix of military, diplomatic, and economic tools to safeguard its traditional and emerging interests, which include its allies, oil supplies, countering the expansion of Russian and Chinese influence, confronting Iran and its proxies, ensuring the political stability of allied states, and combating terrorism. However, the rapid regional and international changes necessitate a review and renewal of the tools of American national power in shaping global policy and promoting soft power, in a way that ensures the sustainability of U.S. influence and enhances stability in the region.

The pragmatic dimension of pronunciation in The Maqamat of Badi’ Al-Zaman Al-Hamdhani - the Maqamat Al-Harziyya as an example
The research explores the theory of performativity and its relationship to pragmatics in the study of language and communication. Performativity theory focuses on language as a communicative tool used in specific contexts, revealing the speaker's stance through their linguistic choices and structures. It also highlights the importance of the relationship between the speaker and the social context in determining the meaning of the text. Through the analysis of Al-Harzi's maqama, it became evident that language is not merely a tool for transmitting information, but also a tool for interaction and influence. The research also showed that the social context plays a crucial role in shaping the meaning of the text and that performativity directly impacts the reading experience. The study emphasized the importance of viewing literary texts as an integrated artistic work that interacts with the reader on multiple levels. The research adopted a critical analytical approach based on three levels: linguistic structure, textual meaning, and communicative function. It also uses theories of enunciation and pragmatics to understand the nature of creative discourse and the role of speech acts in influencing the recipient. Thus, it aims to present a new vision that highlights the depth and authenticity of the Arab literary heritage in light of modern linguistic approaches. Finally, the research concluded with a set of recommendations, including the need for broader comparative studies, the development of new analytical tools, and the integration of performativity and pragmatics concepts into educational curricula.
Social and Cultural Barriers to the Empowerment of Yemeni Women in Public Employment (An Analytical Field Study)
This study aims to analyze the key social and cultural barriers that limit the empowerment of Yemeni women in public employment, with a focus on traditions, community perceptions, and the role of family. A descriptive-analytical methodology was employed, utilizing official data from the Ministry of Civil Service along with surveys and interviews conducted with 120 women across Sana’a, Taiz, and Aden. Results indicate that women constitute only 29% of public employees, with a high avoidance of roles requiring travel or night shifts due to social and familial pressures. The study also reveals limited promotion opportunities, unequal access to training programs, and structural bias in recruitment and evaluation processes. The research recommends activating equal opportunity policies, launching national awareness campaigns to challenge gender stereotypes, and allocating a fixed quota of public jobs for women. Additionally, it calls for restructuring workplace environments to better support women, especially in rural areas.
Aesthetic Modernity and Its Dilemmas: Art between the Demand for Independence and the bet of Penetrating Public Space
This study aimed to identify the significance of aesthetic modernity and to analyze its main dilemmas, namely: art in the world, art and the public sphere, and art and artificial intelligence. To achieve this, the study adopted the analytical method, first by examining the nature of the artwork in terms of quantity, quality, direction, and addition, as presented by Kant in Critique of Judgment. It then analyzed the relationship between art and the world from a phenomenological perspective, and the relationship between art and the public sphere from the Frankfurt School’s view, in addition to exploring the impact of artificial intelligence on artistic production. The study drew upon Kantian, Phenomenological, and Frankfurt perspectives due to Kant’s role in founding modern aesthetics, Phenomenology’s view of the intimate bond between art and the world, and the Frankfurt School’s critique of art’s role in the public sphere. The study concludes that aesthetic modernity marked a transformation in the view of art, shifting it from submission to external dictates toward an expression of the artist’s own capabilities. Nevertheless, while this independence underscores the subjective expression of art, it does not undermine its ability to reflect the world, permeate the public sphere, and critique reality. Furthermore, the study finds that while the commodification of art through artificial intelligence poses a risk of ideology, this does not erase its potential to unveil deception and contribute to liberation from domination. Therefore, the study advocates maintaining a distance between art and ideology to enable it to critique, innovate, and illuminate society instead of serving ideology’s goals in the public sphere.
The image of the General Entertainment Authority among a sample of male and female students at King Abdulaziz University
The current study aimed to explore the public image of the General Entertainment Authority (GEA) among a sample of students at King Abdulaziz University, focusing on the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral dimensions, as well as identifying the sources shaping this image. The study adopted a descriptive analytical approach, utilizing an electronic questionnaire to collect data from a random sample of 385 students. The key findings revealed that most participants agreed on the presence of a strong cognitive dimension of the GEA’s image, with a mean score of 4.59, indicating a high level of awareness regarding its activities and roles. The emotional dimension was also significant, with a mean score of 4.45, as most respondents expressed positive feelings toward the GEA. Social media emerged as the primary source for shaping the GEA’s image (mean score: 4.26), highlighting the impact of digital content on public perception. Conversely, press reports had the least influence, with a mean score of 3.89. Finally, the study recommends enhancing communication channels with the public, organizing activities that consider gender and age diversity, and launching awareness campaigns through both traditional and modern media to clarify the GEA’s mission and objectives.

The important goal of this research is to contribute to enriching the translation library, even if it is small, and to serve humanity.
The Philosophy of Divinity: From Platonism to Orthodoxy – A Study in the Thought of Theodoret of Cyrrhus
This study addresses the question of divinity by examining the thought of Theodoret of Cyrrhus, one of the most prominent Fathers of the Eastern Church in the fifth century AD. The study is based on his work Therapeutics of Hellenic Maladies, where we analyzed his arguments against Greek philosophers, particularly the Platonists. We deconstructed Greek philosophical concepts through critique and analysis and compared them with Orthodox Christian principles. The study aims to introduce readers to Orthodox Christian thought in its philosophical and logical aspects, challenge the stereotypical view that separates faith from reason, and highlight the significance of Greek philosophy and the originality of Theodoret of Cyrrhus. Furthermore, The study concluded that the Platonic conception of divinity was significantly influenced by Jewish thought based on divine revelation. However, the Platonic God remained an abstract idea, confined to the realm of the first cause, without arriving at the notion of a personal God advocated by Theodoret. Additionally, the research concluded that the "Trinity" is not a concept invented by Christianity but rather the same monotheistic belief found in the Old Testament and some Platonic writings influenced by it. This research contributes significantly to the Arabic academic library and opens new horizons for further studies on the relatively unexplored field of Eastern Christian philosophy (Orthodoxy) in academic circles.
The Implications of Polygamy on the Demographic Reality in Palestinian Society and the Stance of Israeli Civil Laws Towards It
The research aims to study the phenomenon of polygamy in Palestinian society within Israel, focusing on its demographic implications (such as population growth and age structure) and the stance of Israeli laws on the issue. It also seeks to understand the interaction between social, cultural, and civil legal factors in the context of the prohibition of polygamy under Israeli law,The research adopted a descriptive-analytical methodology, analyzing data and information through a review of scientific literature, Israeli laws, and statistics related to the demographic reality of Palestinian society. Key findings of the research include demographic implications, where polygamy contributes to increased population growth rates and changes in the age structure of Palestinian society, which is considered a significant factor in the demographic reality. Additionally, Israeli laws face difficulties in enforcing the prohibition of polygamy due to social and cultural factors, leading to selective enforcement of the law. Palestinian society within Israel is conservative and views polygamy as a means to strengthen demographic presence, while Israeli institutions perceive it as a demographic threat. Accurate data collection and analysis are hindered by the lack of official registration of polygamous marriages to avoid legal repercussions. The research concluded that polygamy reinforces demographic presence by encouraging Palestinian society to continue high birth rates, achieving positive demographic changes. Despite legal pressure, loopholes in the application of Israeli laws are exploited to support polygamy. However, there is a need to raise awareness about the positive demographic implications of polygamy for Palestinian society. Accurate statistics remain difficult to obtain due to the risk of legal consequences under Israeli law.
The Impact of Virtual Reality Technologies in Digital Media on Audience Experience: An Applied Study on Real Estate Events in The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia During the Year 2025
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of virtual reality (VR) technologies in digital media on audience experiences at real estate events in Saudi Arabia in 2025 by analyzing user engagement, satisfaction levels, and their influence on real estate decisions. Using a descriptive-analytical approach, the study employed an online survey on a stratified random sample of 250 participants. Findings indicated a high acceptance of VR in digital real estate media, with a mean score of 3.92 and 71.8% of participants agreeing on its effectiveness. The quality of technical infrastructure significantly influenced user satisfaction, explaining 46.8% of its variance. The 26–35 age group exhibited the highest engagement (73.2%), while postgraduate degree holders showed the highest acceptance (77.5%). Path analysis revealed direct and indirect effects of independent variables on dependent ones, with the strongest direct effect from technical quality to satisfaction (path coefficient = 0.534, T-value = 8.976). Key challenges included slow response times (36.8%), technical difficulties (31.2%), and usage costs (18%). Multiple regression analysis highlighted the relative importance of influencing factors, with technical quality having the strongest impact (coefficient = 0.384), followed by ease of use (0.312). Additionally, 38% of participants anticipated VR becoming the primary tool for real estate marketing, while 32.8% saw it as a complement to traditional methods. The study recommended enhancing technical infrastructure, improving the realism of virtual real estate experiences, developing user training programs, and integrating VR with traditional marketing strategies, along with further research in real estate marketing.

Draft proposal to facilitate the receipt and kissing of black stone for pilgrims and worshipers
The aim of this research is to provide innovative solutions to facilitate the access of pilgrims and worshippers to the Black Stone and kissing it, thereby enhancing their religious experience. Kissing the Black Stone during Tawaf is considered a recommended Sunnah that reflects the pure following of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and embodies the servitude of Muslims and their reverence for the rituals of Allah. Despite the spiritual significance of this act of worship, the heavy crowding around the Black Stone remains a major obstacle, potentially preventing many, especially women, the elderly, and those with limited physical abilities, from performing this ritual. The research includes a project proposal to facilitate the process of receiving the Black Stone for at least 10,000 pilgrims daily, ensuring a smooth and safe experience. The project suggests using innovative strategies, including establishing an organized queue system to manage the flow of pilgrims, along with constructing an underground tunnel extending from a hall outside the Tawaf area to the Black Stone, transforming the crowding into a safer space. A revolving door mechanism will be implemented to organize entry and exit, and the "Nusk" app will be used for electronic booking, in addition to surveillance cameras to manage crowds in real-time. These solutions are integrated to reduce congestion and enhance safety, with the tunnel entrance located outside the Tawaf area. Live video analysis will provide information on optimal flow rates, while security forces monitor the system to avoid crowding. The implementation of these solutions is expected to significantly improve accessibility, allowing more pilgrims to perform the ritual smoothly and safely, enhancing their overall experience.
The Big Five factors of personality model: A study of history, evolution, and areas of application in the digital context
This study highlights the evolution of the Big Five Factors of Personality model as well as the theories offered by psychologists (Allport, Cattell, Eysenck, Costa, and McCrae) to understand personality, with an attempt to explore the application of the model in the digital context. The study aims to explain the importance of the model in analyzing the five basic traits that constitute human personality (neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness) and in predicting human behavior. The study relied on the historical and analytical approaches in order to evaluate the literature and present the main evolutions in psychology of personality, starting with the first personality tests, which appeared in the period between and after the First and Second World Wars, to the stage of inventing the model and adopting it as a powerful scientific tool to measure personality and characterize the differences between individuals. The results of the literature review indicate that the model is effective in profiling, digital behavior analysis, and microtargeting in commercial advertising and political campaigns. The study recommends further scientific research on the ethical and legal issues arising from the use of the model in violating individuals' privacy and using their personal data in the digital world.
Evaluation of the Governance of the National Initiative for Human Development and Its Impact on Territorial Development in Morocco's Eastern Rif from 2005 to 2024: A Case Study of the Oulad Zbair and Beni Frassen Communities
This study aims to analyze and evaluate the role of governance in implementing the National Initiative for Human Development projects and their impact on territorial development in Morocco’s eastern Rif region, focusing on the communities of Oulad Zbair and Beni Frassen from 2005 to 2024. The research employs a geographic descriptive methodology to analyze official and field data, assessing the impact of the National Initiative for Human Development in the areas of education, healthcare, and infrastructure. Findings indicate that the initiative has contributed in a limited way to local development, facing challenges related to the multiplicity of stakeholders, project sustainability, and the lack of effective mechanisms for monitoring and oversight. The study highlights an urgent need to improve governance of development programs through enhanced community participation and the development of training programs to ensure project sustainability and effectiveness. It recommends adopting stronger oversight and coordination mechanisms among involved entities to reinforce the initiative’s impact on comprehensive and sustainable development.
