This study aims to identify invisible biases in the nomination of gifted students in the National Gifted Identification Project (Mawhiba Test) during the periods of 2014, 2015, and 2017. The participants were limited to students nominated in Al Ahsa, in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, which includes students from rural, urban, and settlement schools. There was a total sample of 74,199 male students and 74,097 female students. The study followed the descriptive approach, and the Chi-square test was used to measure whether the location variable (i.e., the school’s location) was independent of the number of candidates. The results showed a significant correlation between the location and the number of male and female candidates. Additionally, the results indicated a significant decrease in the percentage of male and female students in settlement schools, which requires the relevant authorities to reconsider the procedures followed in nomination and selection, especially in remote areas and settlements.

The contemporary concept of career refers to an individual’s pursuit of career advancement without being restricted to a single job in a single company. Specifically, career concepts that appeared in the 1990s, including the protean and boundaryless career frameworks, and the next generation of career concept, including integrative frameworks, hybrid careers, and the kaleidoscope career model, are discussed. These models and theories all focus on the change in the concept of career management for individuals. This change occurred because of the developments taking place in this era, including economic aspects, globalization, and technology. This review aims to improve our understanding of careers in today’s dynamic work environment, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic and the rapid changes that Saudi Arabia is witnessing at all levels. The challenges facing individuals in career advancement during this period are different from previous ones, so researchers should study the effects of the pandemic on changing the behavior of individuals towards the concept of career management. This review provides a comprehensive discussion of current theories and offers major questions for future research.","PeriodicalId":39024,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Journal of King Faisal University","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86928329","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}

This research identified soil characteristics and spatial distribution of soil degradation risks in the Al Ahsa Oasis. Several quantitative analytical approaches used geospatial techniques, namely, ArcGIS, Erdas Imagine10, and ENVI 5.3. Six selected remote sensing indices were used, i.e. the salinity index (SI), normalised difference salinity index (NDSI), brightness index (BI), normalised differential vegetation index (NDVI), vegetation soil salinity index (VSSI), and soil adjusted vegetation index (SAVI) software. Field verification monitored the degradation of different types of soil. Samples were collected in May 2019 and processed using satellite images and mechanical and chemical laboratory analysis for 36 samples. The Universal Soil Loss Equation and climatic data were used to measure the annual soil loss rate in the Al Ahsa Oasis. Integration of these datasets resulted in a map of soil degradation values. The results show that the sampled oasis soils have degraded physically, chemically, and biologically. The average physical degradation was 9.93 g/cm3/year, the average biological degradation was 2.93%/year, and the average chemical degradation was 36.36 mmhos/cm.","PeriodicalId":39024,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Journal of King Faisal University","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69891008","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}

The study includes two ocean bathymetries – idealised bathymetry with 1% gradient and real bathymetry – for Gold Coast, Australia. The results indicate that characteristics of the marine flood (wave height and period), coral roughness, and shape of the bathymetry are key to the mitigation of marine floods. Wave height reduction behind the reef and at the shore increases with the incident wave height of the marine flood. The maximum reduction behind the reef is around 60% for both bathymetries for the incident wave height of 4 m. When the incident wave period increases from 10 min to 20 min, the wave height reduction increases to 60% but increases from 20 min to 40 min, decreasing the reduction to as little as 3% behind the reef for the ideal bed condition. However, the marine floods caused by longer period waves can be slowed by higher coral roughness compared to the floods caused by relatively shorter period waves. The wave force reduction behind the reef increases with the incident wave height of the marine flood. The wave force reduction is greater than the wave height reduction behind the reef.

This research focuses on understanding, analysing and specifying the error types related to writing in a foreign language in two different language settings, considering differences in their cultural and linguistic systems. The study has adopted two rubrics for marking and determining different types of error made by learners while writing in a foreign language (English or Arabic). Each rubric, with its error categories, is suitable for the nature of each language. The results of this study can lead to an understanding of major errors in English and Arabic writing experienced by foreign-language learners (e.g., mechanical errors in English and grammatical errors in Arabic). In light of these findings, future learners in academic writing classes of English and Arabic as foreign languages can be provided with further instruction on and exposure to common errors, as well as how to minimize them. Further research is recommended to explore both the benefits of providing sufficient feedback on learners’ future writing and how typical errors are made.

The aim of this study is to obtain IDF curves and find empirical equations for rain duration for Al-Najaf city in the southwest of Iraq. Rainfall data for 30 years, from 1989 to 2018, were collected. The practical reduction equation of the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), with six methods of probability distribution, was used for short intervals (0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours) with a specified recurrence period (100, 50, 25, 10, 5, and 2 years). The Kolmogorov-Smirnov, chi-squared, and Anderson-Darling goodness of fit tests were used with the help of EasyFit 5.6 software. The findings revealed that the highest intensity of rainfall occurs during a repeated cycle of 100 years with a duration of 0.25 hours, while the lowest intensity of rainfall occurs during a repeated cycle of 2 years with a duration of 24 hours. In the results obtained from the six methods, as well as the superiority of the log Pearson type III method, the consistency of the fit tests showed some convergence.","PeriodicalId":39024,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Journal of King Faisal University","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69892242","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}

The cermet powders were stirred for one hour then used to coat bases of steel (316L). A spray distance of 8cm was applied, and the binding material of Ni-22%Cr-10%Al-1%Y was sprayed with a thickness of 100μm. Then, the reinforced matrix was sprayed with a thickness of 300–350μm and the final thickness of the samples prepared was 400–450μm. The samples produced were sintered at 900°C for an hour and a half and underwent a hardness test, which gave the best hardness of the samples after sintering at a reinforcement rate of 50% by 612Hv. The lowest porosity value for the above rate was obtained at 3.88%. The results of the adhesive strength gave a value of 31.5 MPa after sintering and at the same 50% reinforcement. The results of the scanning electron microscope (SEM) showed that there was weakness and cracking in the coating layers at the low reinforcement ratios. However, the mechanical and physical properties improved with the increase in reinforcement ratios to reach the highest value of 50%.
