Item Restricted A Case Study of X University: Potential Implications for the Development of E-learning in Saudi Arabia(Saudi Digital Library) OSAMAH ABDULWAHAB D ALMAGHLOUTH; Prof. John Everatt & Prof. Garry Hornby1 0Item Restricted A Cluster Based Collaborative Filtering Method for Improving the Performance of Recommender Systems in Ecommerce(Saudi Digital Library) ALAA HAMADI HAMMOUD ALAHMADI; Bahman Sarrafpour2 0Item Restricted “A critical look at Saudi Arabian students’ identity and interaction in the English language classroom in New Zealand”MUTEB OTAYSH ALSHAMMARI; A Prof Jean ParkinsonThis research explores the ways in which four Saudi Khebrat English teachers learning English for academic purposes negotiate their identity in relation to their efforts in the classroom. Three groups of participants were involved, including the Saudi learners, one of the teachers who taught learners in the programme and one of the programme’s coordinators. In-depth interviews were used as the data collection method to obtain information about Saudi participants’ individual motivations, thoughts and feelings while studying in New Zealand, as well as the experiences of some of those who were interacting with them during the study abroad period. Data were analyzed based on ground theory strategies. Drawning on Norton’s (2013) concept of identity, this research illustrates how social interaction in the English language classroom influenced the Saudi Arabian teachers’ identity. Findings show that in general Saudi learners in the classroom seemed to interact confidently, free of limitations or prejudices, but still keeping and performing based on their social and cultural values. Data were categorized in three main themes: (1) Second language investment and social interactions in the host country, (2) Saudi English teacher identity teaching in Saudi vs Saudi English teacher identity learning in New Zealand and, (3) study abroad in regard to how they positioned themselves in the host country.20 0Item Restricted A critical meta-analysis of mobile learning research concerning the acceptance, readiness and impact of mobile devices for learning in higher education(Saudi Digital Library) HASAN AHMAD M ALZAHRANI; Dr Kumar Laxman0 0Item Restricted A Modified Systematic Review and General Literature Review of Overweight and Obesity among Pregnant Women in the Arab Gulf Countries(Saudi Digital Library) Alaa Tarik Naser0 0Item Restricted A Scenario Based Performance Analysis of VANET Protocols(Saudi Digital Library) ALOBAIDI NAJI RAFID MOHAMMED; Dr. Iman Ardekani3 0Item Restricted A SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF DENGUE FEVER AND AN ANALYSIS OF DENGUE CONTROL STRATEGIES IN JEDDAH CITY, SAUDI ARABIA(Saudi Digital Library) IBRAHIM ALI I ALKHALDY; Arindam Basu2 0Item Restricted A Study of Malware Behaviour of Webpages(Saudi Digital Library) ALHANOOF FAIZ ALWAGHID; Nurul I Sarkar5 0Item Restricted A study of the effectiveness of using mobile devices on academic performance of tertiary students(Saudi Digital Library) HASAN MOHAMMED H BALFAGIH; دكتور احمد3 0Item Restricted A study of The use of Manuka Honey and Methylglyoxal to Impart Antimicrobial Activity to Wool Textiles and Polymers(Saudi Digital Library) SAMI SALEEM S ALJOHANI; Professor Jim Johnston8 0Item Restricted A SYSTEM TO FACILITATE COGNITIVE MOBILE LEARNING: LEARN T-SQL(Saudi Digital Library) ABRAR AHMED A ALFARHAN; Dr. Ami Peiris1 0Item Restricted A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF METHODOLOGIES IN NEEDS ANALYSIS IN ENGLISH FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES IN SAUDI ARABIA(The University of Auckland, 2024) Alkhalaf, Abdulrahman Malek; Basturkmen, HelenNeeds analysis is crucial for developing effective English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses, as it identifies learners' specific language needs. This systematic review examined the methodologies employed in needs analysis research within the Saudi Arabian ESP context from 2014 to 2024. Using a systematic review approach, 57 studies were initially identified through a detailed keyword search across various databases, with 21 studies meeting the inclusion criteria for in-depth analysis. A framework was designed and employed to extract and systematically analyze the data. The findings revealed an increasing reliance on mixed-methods approaches. Questionnaires and interviews were widely employed, with document analysis gaining prominence in recent years. The review also noted that, over the past decade, the majority of studies have concentrated on English for Academic Purposes (EAP) contexts. Additionally, there has been a significant rise in the use of technologies for data collection. The study identified challenges such as data complexity, participant accessibility, low response rates, and the need to ensure objectivity while minimizing bias. This review highlights the critical role of needs analysis in informing the design of ESP courses in Saudi Arabia. The findings underscore a methodological evolution toward mixed methods and digital innovation, offering valuable insights for future research and pedagogical practices aimed at addressing learners' language needs in this context.21 0Item Restricted Agile Teams Roles and Responsibilities(Saudi Digital Library) amar ameen mosa kashari; Jim Buchan6 0Item Restricted Alternatives to financial incentives when motivating employees(Saudi Digital Library) YASER ABDULRAHMAN S ALMUTAZ; د. أحمد محمد حسن الإبيـاري0 0Item Restricted An Edge-Based Steganography Algorithm for Hiding Text into Images(Saudi Digital Library) REEM ABDULRAHMAN ABDULAZIZ ALOMIRAH; Bahman A.

By analyzing a substantial dataset of COVID-19-related tweets, the research identifies recurring misinformation themes, including erroneous claims about the virus’s origin, prevention strategies, treatments, and vaccine efficacy. Prominent misinformation types include theories falsely attributing the virus’s origin to human engineering or intentional release, unproven prevention methods like natural remedies, and misleading treatment options, such as the promotion of unapproved drugs. Additionally, vaccine-related misinformation, including baseless claims about vaccine safety, side effects, and hidden agendas, contributed significantly to public skepticism and hesitancy. The study explores how these misinformation narratives influenced public attitudes and behaviors, revealing that exposure led to increased vaccine hesitancy, reduced compliance with public health guidelines, and the widespread acceptance of conspiracy theories. These effects complicated public health efforts and deepened social and political divisions, further impeding effective pandemic management. The findings highlight the urgent need for strategies to counter misinformation and promote accurate public health information, especially during global crises. Public health authorities, social media platforms, and educators must collaborate to enhance information literacy, improve content moderation, and develop targeted interventions. These efforts are crucial to mitigating the spread and impact of misinformation, thereby safeguarding public health and trust in scientific expertise.29 0Item Restricted Arithmetic, Induction, and the Algebra of Polynomials(Saudi Digital Library) Sanaa Ahmed Bajri0 0Item Restricted Assessing Network Intrusion Detection System Performance: Forensic Implications(Saudi Digital Library) Muteb Mohammed Alqahtani16 0
