انعكاسات برامج التحليلات والتعليقات الإخبارية والسياسية على المشاهدين : دراسة ميدانية من وجهة نظر أعضاء هيئة التدريس في جامعات اليرموك والزرقاء والشرق الأوسط = Reflections of TV News and Political Programs on Viewers : A Field Study from the Viewpoint of Faculty Members in the Universities of Yarmouk, Zarqa and the Middle East

The study aimed to identify the credibility level of electronic press sites and their correlation with the reliability level as seen by the Saudi elite. To verify the aim, the study followed the descriptive approach. The study sample consisted of (102), representing the audience of the Saudi academic elite and media who use Internet as general and electronic press sites in particular, (Media faculty members of Saudi universities), the study was applied to the Saudi newspaper websites such as (Okaz newspaper, Middle East newspaper, Riyadh newspaper, and Sabk newspaper). The researcher conducted special criteria for the study of website reliability standards of the newspaper. The field study, survey applying, and data collection were conducted in October and November 2018. This study showed the following results: There is a statistically significant correlation between the exposure intensity of the Saudi elite to the study sample websites and their reliability level on it. This means that the greater the exposure of the Saudi elite to the electronic press sites, the greater the level of their reliability on it, and proved a statistically significant correlation between the intensity of the exposure of the Saudi elite to the electronic press sites of the study sample and the credibility level. It also showed a significant correlation between the intensity of the exposure of the Saudi elite to the website’s contents of the study press sample and the motivations of its pursuance in the future. The study concludes a number of recommendations, the most important of which is that the press websites should be concerned with the standard of interaction in terms of communication with the author, and conduct studies on the contact persons who working in the field of newspaper websites to find out the most important pressures and factors affecting their credibility of transferring information.

Digital Competencies

This chapter describes the digital competencies that have become essential in the workforce and how higher education institutions (HEIs) are trying to keep up in a moment in which faculty members have been acquiring digital skills alongside students. A field study was conducted with faculty from HEIs in Mexico to identify the differences between the digital skills that faculty possessed previous to the pandemic and those acquired as a result of remote work. It also analyzes the digital tools they have been provided with to perform their jobs, the training they have received, and the digital skills that they still lack to help students acquire the digital competencies demanded in the workforce. The objective is to identify areas of opportunity and create general guidelines that will help develop critical digital skills. A literature review of the most relevant aspects of digital dexterity and digital competence in higher education (HE) is presented. An analysis of the current context and how it is producing changes faster than before is also included.

When I returned from a long summer in Israel, following the Six Days War of June 1967, Berkeley seemed to belong to an altogether different universe. Things that had been upper-most in my mind, indeed in everyone's mind, during those months in Jerusalem were of marginal interest to the bustling students and respectable faculty members on campus. In comparison with the hectic atmosphere in Israel at that time, even the most politically involved campus in the United States appeared like the proverbial ivory tower. After a brief hiatus during which everyone had breathlessly observed the events of the war in the Middle East, these events quickly receded into the background, and on the shores of the Pacific other issues seemed far more important. While activists were busily preparing an attack on United States government policy in Vietnam, everyone else, secluded in the innumerable Berkeley classrooms, seemed concerned with purely academic matters.

Abstract In the Middle East many of the matured fields have fractured or vugular formations where the drilling is continued without return to a surface. This situation has been commonly interpreted as lack of hole cleaning and high risk of stuck pipe. The manuscript describes a study performed to analyze the hole cleaning while blind drilling horizontal sections. Most of the losses while drilling across fractured or vugular formations happen sudden, and this represents a risk of formation instability and stuck pipe. Additionally, the cuttings accumulation may lead to a potential pack off. To understand the hole cleaning the annular pressure while drilling was introduced in different sections, what via change of the equivalent static and dynamic densities describes the cutting and cavings accumulation in the annulus. Additionally, the hole cleaning behavior with different fluids pumped through the drillstring (i.e. drilling fluid, water, water with sweeps) was studied. The proposed study was performed in 4 different fields, 9 wells, across horizontal 6⅛-in. sections with total lost circulation. It was identified that while drilling with full returns ECD vs ESD variations are within 1.5 ppg, those variations are matching with the modeling of hydraulics. Once total losses encountered the variations between ECD and ESD are very low - within 0.2 ppg - indicating that annular friction losses below the loss circulation zone are minimal. This support the theory that all the drilled cuttings are properly lifted from bottom and carried to the karst into the loss circulation zone and not fluctuating above the loss zone. Additionally, minor to no relation found in hole cleaning while drilling with mud or a water with sweeps. This finding also is aligned with the stuck pipe statistics that shows higher incidents of stuck pipe while drilling the with full circulation due to pack off. The manuscript confirms the theory of the hole cleaning in total lost circulation and application of different hole cleaning practices to improve it. The results of the study can be implemented in any project worldwide.

Level Of Significance

The study aimed to determine the compatibility of the student services provided to the students of accounting departments in business schools with the standards of academic quality assurance in Jordan through three aspects: academic guidance, support services and graduates services. A questionnaire was prepared and distributed to (245) students and (46) faculty members. The responses of the study sample were described by using the arithmetic mean, frequencies and ANOVA test that was used to test the hypotheses at the level of significance ( 0.05=α).One of the main findings of the study is that there is no agreement between students and faculty members in accounting departments on the compatibility of the services provided to the students with the standards of Jordanian academic quality assurance, despite the existence of some quality services offered by faculties and departments to students. The study recommends a comprehensive review of the services provided to students, a focus on services provided to graduates, and further studies.
