However, this was largely unachieved despite the fact that Israel and Saudi Arabia had long been in secret cooperation, without formal diplomatic relations between them, since Israel attained nationhood in 1948. This article sought to examine the concrete barriers to normalization of relations, extolling cooperation and disentangling the cyclic ambivalences of Saudi government towards Israel. Certain barriers could be removed, aimed at strengthening normal peaceful co-existence between the two countries. The neorealist and neoliberal theoretical perspectives are adopted as framework of analysis. Data were derived from both primary and secondary sources, made up of interview, government official documents and independent mediascape. Findings showed that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict remained the concrete barrier to normalized Saudi-Israeli relations. But areas of cooperation between the two countries, albeit covertly, include trade and common stance against security concerns. These and other areas of cooperation could be broadened to strengthen peaceful co-existence between the two neighbours. And more determined diplomatic efforts must continue, to resolve the generational and intractable Israeli-Palestinian conflict on ‘two-state’ solution basis. In conclusion, the ambivalences that have characterized relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia need be discarded. A Palestinian statehood is attainable, with rights of mutual co-existence between the parties and removing nuclear threat and need for balance of power, all necessary to make the Middle East relatively stable and peaceful.","PeriodicalId":191933,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130380821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most often, pregnant women go for conventional options in handling the disease while neglecting the natural and cultural ways. These conflicting perceptions and treatment regimen thwarts an inclusive management of the disease. It is against this background that this study sets out to investigate perceptions, prevention strategies and treatment regimens of eclampsia. Data for this study was gotten through secondary and primary sources. Secondary data were gleaned from soft and hard copies of published and unpublished documents; journals, archives, health reports relevant to the perception and management of eclampsia. Primary data were qualitative and sourced from a sample of 239 respondents from different religious and cultural backgrounds using interviews, FGDs and observations. Data collected was processed using the Straus coding method and analysed using content analysis. Results obtained revealed that while others sees eclampsia as; common complications of pregnancy, depression and stress, others perceive it to spirituality and hereditary. However, depression and high blood pressure were outstanding. Prevention strategies were reflective of the perceptions; sufficient rest and good feeding habits while others belief in performing traditional rites and tying charms around their waist against forms of witchcraft and sorceries. On treatment regimens, prayers and deliverance, herbs and conventional ways were noted. Nature and culture were more effective in the management process. Eclampsia is associated with significant myth and perceptions. A stand-in cultural and natural way of management to decolonise conventional myths and supremacy regimen of eclampsia are recommended.","PeriodicalId":191933,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"46 11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126000351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

E-business transactions refer to the use of electronics in the carrying out of commercial activities (sales and purchases). Unfortunately, the rise of e-business transactions has been plagued by the issue of electronic fraud, which has become prevalent now more than ever. Mathematics as a field is fundamental to life and present in virtually every aspect of man’s life and is an essential tool required and used in problem-solving. The business world is not exempt from the influence of mathematics, and considering this, this study explores the relevance of mathematical knowledge and skills in e-business transactions, as well as in solving the problem of electronic fraud. Mathematics was shown to be useful in fraud prevention tools and strategies like cryptography, data management, and optimization, risk assessment, fraud prevention algorithms, etc. We suggest that all the stakeholders in every field should teach the importance and use of mathematical knowledge and skills to all learners in the entire education system and efforts toward encouraging the development of mathematical knowledge and skills for individuals across all fields, especially in science, technology, business world and in form of training among others.","PeriodicalId":191933,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122072857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additional causes of at-risk children based on the findings are illegal child adoption, child trafficking, street hawking by children, gender-based and sexual violence and, child rape and child labor. On the challenges of at-risk children this study revealed that lack of access to qualitative education, corruption and bad governance, exclusion of girl child in skills acquisition schemes and inadequate of clothing and shelter and poor nutrition among others are the challenges affecting them. To reduce the hardship and integrate at-risk children, this study suggests the need for the government and relevant stakeholders to give more priority to entrepreneurship development skills such as animal husbandry, cosmetology, welding and fabrication, leather works, foods and beverages, tailoring and fashion design, poultry production, carpentry works, computer and handsets repairs and aquaculture. Finally, to ensure effective integration of at-risk children, the government must work with community leaders, religious leaders, and women leaders to raise awareness and mobilize support for the most vulnerable populations.","PeriodicalId":191933,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121990181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A cross-sectional survey was conducted among college students, and data were collected on mental health, academic performance, and self-social mental health recovery. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis, and ANOVA were used to analyse the data. The results showed that college students reported above- average levels of mental health and academic performance, with prevalence and severity of mental health issues and factors contributing to poor mental health also rated high. The study found a significant positive relationship between factors contributing to poor mental health and self-social mental health recovery, as well as between mental health and academic performance and self-social mental health recovery. However, no significant relationship was found between prevalence and severity of mental health issues and self-social mental health recovery. The findings suggest that addressing factors contributing to poor mental health and promoting mental health and academic performance may be key in improving self-social mental health recovery among college students. Future research is needed to explore these relationships further and to identify effective strategies for promoting mental health and well-being among college students.","PeriodicalId":191933,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123159942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the science-technology-society theory, the study conducted a survey of 2400 Nigerians in 12 states and an interview of select STI experts in 12 Nigerian universities. The study focused on synthetic biology, nanoscience and technology, robotics and artificial intelligence, drones, etc. The findings showed that a greater majority of the respondents perceived agricultural drones as the most necessary emerging STI in Nigeria while neuroparasitology was seen as the least necessary to the country’s development. Respondents also agreed that emerging STI had the more impact on ICTs and the least on security, economy and the environment. Also, large segment of respondents perceived that the new/ mass media were the predominant sources of emerging STI information. Also, STI experts perceived emerging STIs to be in their infancy in Nigeria, communication of STIs was concentrated within the scientific community, and collaboration was lacking between the STI community and other stakeholders.","PeriodicalId":191933,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121121529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First of all, the changes concerned the rights of women, regarding which new rules are being established. As a result, Afghanistan lost its twenty-year achievements in the field of democracy, human rights, especially women's rights. The main aim of this article is to give full description to the situation of women rights in Afghanistan and give some recommendations on their improvements according to the foreign practice. The scientific significance of the article lies in the fact that the authors tried to give a scientific analysis of the situation with women's rights in Afghanistan, made a comparative analysis with women's rights in other Muslim countries to highlight Taliban Misconceptions of Islamic rules and gave specific recommendations. In this article, the authors used systematic analysis method, historical method, as well as comparative analysis method. In this research, on one hand authors discussed the situation of Afghan Women in the current Taliban’s government, Taliban's decrees regarding women, and the clear violation of the most basic human rights of women. On the other hand, they discussed on Islamic laws, the legal status of women in some Islamic countries.

Since then, tracking of all deliveries and all the newborns are an integral part of the work of ASHAs in all the primary health care programs operated by the NHM in UP (GOI, 2005, GOUP, 2013). The current article examines the role, work & approach of ASHAs through the feedback of the program managers at district & state level. Evaluation studies on the performance of ASHAs was done since 2011 as by then ASHAs had actually worked in the field for a minimum period of 5 years. It is to be noted that National Rural Health Mission was rolled out in April 2005 but it took about one to two years for the states to hire ASHAs and put things in place right from the state to the village level (GOUP, 2013). In this article, a comprehensive feedback is elicited from the program managers of newborn care program at the district & state level. The current study explores some of the crucial variables on the performance of ASHAs through the feedback of program mangers on the role of ASHAs in newborn & child health programs followed by their role in Home Based Newborn Care program. The article also includes the feedback of the program mangers on the work & approach of ASHAs. That’s how the perception of the program managers in the state of UP is included in this article. The program managers responded about the performance of ASHAs based upon their experience in the work by ASHAs on Janani Surakhya Yojana (JSY), New Born Care (NBC) & Routine Immunization (RI) as these are the frontline programs for the states. They were purposefully selected as respondents as they were the nodal persons for rolling out newborn care related programs. The relevance of the study assumes significance as data on the details of the program awareness of managers on child health & newborn are not included in many surveys. Further, feedback details on the health personnel’s performance is usually not collected from the nodal officers looking after the programs at district & state level. Such responses that collect feedback on the work & approach of ASHAs including the awareness of the program managers are not the focus in very large-scale health surveys. Such feedback on work & approach of ASHAs including the opinion & knowledge of program managers about the current implemented programs come under the ambit of social audits. The audits gain more teeth when the feedback is solicited from the people who manage the programs (GOI, 2016). It is important to note that social audit is an integral part of the National Health Mission document but it is not a priority activity of NHM. Usually, the responses, knowledge of trained health personnel are assessed in many studies while neglecting the response & perception of the program managers of the public health system.
