This prompted the researchers to focus on this area. The main objective of this article is to explore common errors in English-Arabic collocation translation among Arabic students in the Federal College of Education (Technical), Gusau and identify possible reasons for them. The researchers used a qualitative analysis approach, adopting an evaluation instrument. A semi-structured interview was also conducted among the sample group in order to find out the causes of the errors. The results showed that the students encountered errors in translation collocations, which included lexical and grammatical collocations. Reasons for these errors included: a lack of collocations knowledge, a lack of special books and dictionaries of collocations and an inability to identify an equivalent to English collocations in the Arabic language. This study is extremely important for students of Arabic, scholars, and English-Arabic translators, as it alerts them to common errors in English-Arabic translation.","PeriodicalId":39024,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Journal of King Faisal University","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88796558","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}

While studies have been published pertaining to the provision of transition services for students with IDD in some developed countries, such as the United States of America, little research has been carried out in this area in Saudi Arabia. This research gap is consistent with the lack of evidence-based services in Saudi Arabia to assist students with IDD in preparing for and transitioning to adult life. This study describes the provision of services supporting the transition for secondary students with IDD in Saudi Arabia, using the Taxonomy for Transition Programming developed by Kohler (1996) as a framework. Semi-structured interviews are conducted with eight special education teachers working with students with IDD. The results reveal four main findings: (a) the lack of transition services, (b) insufficient teacher preparation in transition services, (c) poor family-school relationships, and (d) teacher willingness to use the Taxonomy for transition programming with students. The study concludes with a discussion of the research limitations and recommendations.

Seed propagation of the pear is an important way to obtain seedlings to be used as grafting assets, but the method of seed propagation is difficult due to the effect of dormancy factors in germination. The research was carried out during 2020 and 2021 to study the effects of stratification for three periods (30–60–90 days) using ascorbic acid at a concentration of 100 mg/L, and potassium nitrate at a concentration of 0.3% for breaking the dormancy of pear seeds. The results showed that the best averages were at stratification for 60 days and gave the percentage of germination as 31%, and the speed of germination at 1.28 seeds/day. Additionally, treatments of seed soaking with ascorbic acid or potassium nitrate (without stratification) contributed to improving the germination percentage to 7.67% and 3.67%, respectively, with significant differences compared with the control (1%). The best results were with stratification treatment for 60 days with ascorbic acid, where the percentage of germination reached 49.67% and the germination speed increased to 3.91 seeds/day, in addition to reducing the period required for germination to 21 days.","PeriodicalId":39024,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Journal of King Faisal University","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69892192","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}

In the following season, an evaluation of the parents and individual crosses was performed, which were then distributed according to the randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replicates to estimate the heterosis, general combining ability (GCA), and specific combining ability (SCA), and the nature of gene action of sugar, nicotine, protein, and chloride content. Genetic analysis showed the importance of additive and dominant effects on heredity in all studied characteristics. The variance ratio of GCA to SCA was more significant than the one for nicotine and protein content. Still, the ratio appeared to be less than one for other studied traits (sugar and chloride content). The Baladi parent exhibited a high GCA for sugar and chloride content, while the Prilep parent showed a high GCA for protein content.
