<p>The topic of environmental awareness has received great attention recently at the local and global levels. This is in response to global calls regarding the importance of environmental awareness for children, young people and adults as a way to protect the world from environmental problems. Instilling environmental awareness is a responsibility that must be shared by all child-rearing institutions, but studies have shown a lack of scientific research proving that educators play an effective role in children's environmental awareness in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Therefore, this study aimed to ascertain the level of environmental awareness of children in early childhood, and its relationship to educators’ level of awareness in light of many variables (child’s age and gender and educator's job and education level). The study sample consisted of 77 parents and teachers of varying educational levels (secondary school/graduate/postgraduate) and a sample of 50 children of different ages (4–8 years and over) who were chosen from the eastern region of Saudi Arabia. To achieve the study objectives and gain a deep understanding of children’s environmental awareness and its relation to that of their parents and teachers, a mixed-method approach was used. The data were collected using a questionnaire answered by educators (parents and teachers) and a picture-based survey answered by children. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software (version 6). This study shows that the differences in children's level of awareness are due to their age and not their gender, as older children seem to be more aware. There is a positive relationship between children's awareness and that of their educators. The study also reveals that teachers have greater environmental awareness than parents; therefore, there is a need to increase parents' environmental awareness.</p>

The modernist landscape of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia makes us look at the mechanisms of the modern Saudi society, which has been engaged in development paths and a developed vision to invest all its human and economic energy .Women have formed a vital part of these energies, having strengthened her position and rights through legislations and laws, that have made her an effective force, whose impact has affected the Saudi economy in various fields .The international community has recognized the potential and success of Saudi women in the Kingdom. Therefore, this study came as an attempt to reveal the reality of women's energies within the professional fields that were previously male only.But the changes Saudi Arabia has undergone for decades have made women succeed in many areas, such as entrepreneurship. In this study, we examine the ability of Saudi women to succeed in this professional space through their ability to prove their professional identity, as well as the role of qualitative capital (economic, social, cultural and symbolic) in defining this professional identity of businesswomen in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia as a study case.

Objective: Our aim was to review the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in different areas done by many researches. Methods: By systematic review with meta-analysis we collected the research performed in different areas of Saudi Arabia over the period of 2009-2013. This included both published papers (peer-reviewed) and papers presented at documented scientific conferences. Results: Fourteen papers were found, thirteen of which were peer-reviewed and published and one had been presented in a conference. They covered five main areas in KSA, and pooling the numbers yielded 6478 total healthy participants. 4694 (72%) were in the least healthy range with deficiency levels < 20 ng/ml, and a total of 5355 (82.7%) were at levels below recommendations (< 30 ng/ml). The central region in Riyadh and Qassim cities represented the most investigated area including 2755 participants with 6 articles; followed by the western region, at Jeddah and Makkah cities, with 2239 participants. The eastern region (2 articles in Dammam and Al Khobar cities with 339 participants) showed the lowest frequency of vitamin D deficiency at 29.2%, followed by the central region at 74%. Conclusions: Despite adequate sunlight and adequate intake of dairy products, vitamin D deficiency appears to be a major health problem in the Saudi community. There are some geographic areas in the country that may be at high risk. Control strategies should take these differences into account.

BACKGROUND: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is the most common cause of chronic liver disease in the world and evaluation of the epidemiology of HCV infection was made possible by the development of a serological assay to detect antibodies to epitopes of HCV. Hemodialysis (HD) is considered to be one of the main risk factors of HCV transmission. The prevalence of antibodies to HCV (anti-HCV) in patients undergoing maintenance dialysis therapy (MDT) was found to be one of the highest among different risk groups and there is wide variation in the prevalence of HCV infection among different dialysis units and countries. Therefore, the prevalence of anti-HCV was studied in patients undergoing MDT. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The current study is a cross section one, where a sample of 361 HD patients were selected randomly from HD centers in three governmental hospitals in Makkah city and they were subjected to assessment for the prevalence of anti-HCV by using questionnaires in addition to clinical measurements. RESULTS: The overall prevalence of anti-HCVamong HD patients was 49.9% according to clinical measurements and questionnaires CONCLUSION: The overall prevalence of anti-HCV among HD patients in Makkah city (49.9%) was comparable to that reported from other parts of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and it is almost similar to the already reported positivity rate of (43.2%) from the eastern region of KSA [1] and southern regions of KSA (45.5%). [2, 3] However, Strict adherence to universal precautions as recommended by the Center for Diseases Control (CDC), meticulous regular disinfection of HD machines, Strict isolation of HCV-positive patients, dedicated dialysis machines and nursing staff at new dialysis set-up could possibly be the reasons of relatively low anti-HCV positivity at the current study than that reported by Shaheen, et al [3, 4] , from four centers in the western region of KSA, (72.3%) and that by Huraib, et al [5] [6] in their multi-center study in KSA, (68%) as well as the mean national rate.[3, 7] On the other hand, the use of more sensitive third generation enzyme - linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique, long duration on HD, multiple blood transfusions, patients with dialysis treatment in multi-centers, factors related to infrastructure, environment and operational system might be responsible for the high prevalence of anti-HCV found in this study than that reported earlier by Saeed, et al [8] from Riyadh and those observed in the central region of KSA.[9]Although routes of transmission are still unclear, early detection of all infected patients is mandatory for HCV prophylaxis in HD patients. Furthermore, an intensive educational program for staff members, HD patients and proper evaluation of the HD situation are needed. Thus, observation of appropriate preventive measures by all HDcenters is paramount
