This study explores interactive e-book cues and Information Processing Levels (IPL)’s effectiveness on Learning Retention (LR) and External Cognitive Load (ECL). 117 middle school pupils (MSP) were divided into six experimental groups based on their IPL and cues during the second term of the academic year 2019–2020. Visual Cues (VC)/Audiovisual Cues (VAC) and Auditory Cues (AC)/Audiovisual Cues (VAC) statistically varied in the Ie-book in LR test and ECL scale, same for the average scores when testing the LR in Science for MSP due to the difference between IPL for the DL. There is a statistically significant effect of cue types' interaction in Ie-book with IPL in ECL scale for MSP, at its highest peak in the case of the AVC with DL, followed by the interaction resulting from the VC with DL then AC with SL. Also, cues interaction in Ie-book with IPL immensely affect the LR test for MEP, which is at its highest peak in the case of the AVC with DL. The interactions between (DL–SL) and (AC–VC) seem to equally influence the ELC.

The main goal of this study was to examine the spectrum of Enterococci that cause urinary tract infection in newborns. This study was conducted during September 2018 to November 2018 at Prince Sattam Bin Abdul Aziz University. A total of 317 urine samples were taken from newborns admitted to the Children's Hospital in the city of Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. In total, 30 (9.5%) Enterococcal strains were isolated from 317 samples. Of these, 17 (56.6%) were from male and 13 (43.4%) were from female patients. From antibiotic sensitivity assay, it was observed that all of the isolates were resistant to clindamycin. But Imipenem and Augmentin were found highly sensitive. So, these sensitive antibiotics can be used for the treatment of newborns UTIs caused by the enterococcal strains. Dhaka Univ. J. Pharm. Sci. 19(2): 119-124, 2020 (December)

Zakat obligation is matter in religion that are logically already known. Refusing to pay zakat due to ignorance and greed is one of the great sins in afterlife law, and is among the most heinous crimes in worldly law. This research discusses the law of takzir against people who are reluctant to pay zakat by taking their property according to the four schools. This research aims to find out the opinions of the four schools of jurisprudence about the law of takzir against people who are reluctant to pay zakat by taking their property (forcibly), and to know the understanding of disputes of opinion about the takzir against people who are reluctant to pay zakat by taking their property according to four schools. The research methods used in research are inductive-deductive and comparative methods. The results showed that the four schools of jurisprudence agreed to impose takzir on people who are reluctant to pay zakat by taking their property forcibly according to the obligatory zakat rate on it without additional. While some scholars consider that takzir for people who are reluctant to pay zakat is to take their property forcibly according to the obligatory zakat rate on it accompanied by additional punishment that takes half of its property. This is the opinion of the old Shafii (qaul qadīm), one of the narration of Imam Ahmad, as well as the opinion of some scholars such as al-Auzāʿī, Isḥāq bin Rāhūyah, Ibn al-ʿUṡaimīn, in addition to the opinion of the permanent of Fatwa Commission of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. As for the understanding of dissent in this matter is the knowledge that every school of jurisprudence has a proposition as a guideline to strengthen its opinion, so that the difference should not be the cause of division and hostility among the Muslims.

Drainage basins in dry and semiarid environments are exposed to sudden, irregular flooding that poses a threat to urban areas and infrastructure. The associated risk is exacerbated by land use changes. Geomorphometric analyses of drainage basins based on geographic information systems (GIS) are essential tools for assessing conceptual flood hazards. Geomorphological data extracted from high-precision digital elevation models (DEMs) provide valuable information for modeling the geomorphic, surface classifications of the earth, and for flood hazard mapping. This study aimed to develop an integrative approach to the mapping of flood hazards along the Al-Shamal train pathway in the city of Qurayyat in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) using GIS and hazard modeling for geomorphological ranking. Furthermore, we propose strategic solutions to provide mitigation and protection from negative impacts with the aim of improving the level of awareness of flood geomorphology. The hazard model of geomorphological ranking was used in mapping and calculating the degree of hazards using 24 geomorphometric criteria. These criteria were divided into formal criteria, terrain criteria, and criteria related to the drainage network. The results of the study revealed that the drainage sub-basins are exposed to flood hazards along the Al-Shamal train pathway in the city of Qurayyat. The very high flood hazard constituted 4228.3 km2, accounting for 70.3% and 65.7%, respectively, of the drainage basins of the wadis of Makhrouq and Bayer. The high flood hazard represented 61% (4712.4 km2) of the basin of the wadis of Sarmadaa. The medium flood hazard was concentrated in the drainage basin of the wadi of Hasidah, accounting for nearly 57.7% (1271.3 km2). The very low flood hazard was present in 46.5% of the drainage basin of the wadis of Hasidah Umm Nakhla, accounting for an area of 799.4 km2. The methodology applied in this study can be used in the estimation of flood hazards in different drainage basins throughout Saudi Arabia and in similar arid regions.

Dispute Resolution Mechanism

Investment treaties and ISDS serve not just to resolve disputes between states and foreign investors. Through interpreting foreign investor rights, they also help structure foreign investment relations. This chapter leaves the norm entrepreneurs of the late 1950s and 1960 aside to develop an analytical framework for examining how the rights of foreign investors can contribute to defining their role in and relations with states and local communities. It examines the type of rights that make foreign investment projects, their purpose, and different ways of looking at the interface between these rights, states’ right to regulate, and local communities. A transnational and socio-legal approach to property and contracts informs the analysis. The remainder of the chapter focuses on the importance of ISDS for foreign investor rights, examining the normative and distributive implications of this dispute resolution mechanism.
