This study was conducted as a part of a comprehensive baseline survey of insect biodiversity of Rawdhat Khorim National Park (RKNP), Central Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). During this study a total of 262 Coleoptera species belong to 182 genera in 35 families were identified, of which 247 are named at a species level. Fifteen species (6.0%) are apparently endemic to KSA. Thirty-eight species ar...

[Purpose] There is a dearth of studies that have examined the occurrence of sensory processing dysfunction and its components in Saudi Arabian children with autism. Therefore, this study investigated the manifestation of sensory processing dysfunction in autism and compared the functional components of sensory processing between Saudi Arabian children with and without autism. [Subjects and Meth...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the differences related to age ad gender in some blood parameters of Arabian horses bred in Turkey. In this study, 12 mares, 10 stallions, 90 foals (5 to 6 months old), and 35 yearlings were used. it was indicated that total erythrocyte count (RBC) and leukocyte count (WBC) was in normal ranges for mares and stallions while RBC and WBC values were...

e-Learning can generally be applied by employ-ing learning management system (LMS) platforms designed to support an instructor develop, manage, and provide online courses learners. During the COVID-19 pandemic, several LMS were adopted in Saudi Arabian institutions, such as Moodle Blackboard. However, order adopt e-learning operate platforms, there is a need investigate factors that influence c...

Quantified balanced and restored crustal cross-sections across the NW Zagros Mountains are presented in this work integrating geological and geophysical local and global datasets. The balanced crustal cross-section reproduces the surficial folding and thrusting of the thick cover succession, including the near top of the Sarvak Formation (∼ 90 Ma) that forms the top of the restored crustal cros...

The quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) has become a key molecular enabling technology with an immense range of research, clinical, forensic as well as diagnostic applications. Its relatively moderate instrumentation and reagent requirements have led to its adoption by numerous laboratories, including those located in the Arabian world, where qPCR, which targets DNA, and rev...

[1] Monthly oxygen budgets for the subsurface Arabian Sea (100–1000 m) are constructed on the basis of Modular Ocean Model and recently collected oxygen data. The model results are in agreement with the observed pattern. The model results revealed that oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) in the Arabian Sea is regulated largely by physical processes in association with biogeochemical cycling of oxygen. Th...

Professionalism has been increasingly recognised as an explicit component of medical education, especially in the western world. Professionalism is culture-sensitive. Few efforts have been made to conceptualise professionalism in relation to the Arabian context. The aim of this study is to validate the components of professionalism framework of the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) to ...
