The evolution of information systems has escalated significantly within the last decade as research unveils new concepts. The general orientation to provide solutions to complex problems continues to inspire innovation and new advancements. Cybersecurity is emerging as a critical factor for consideration within the resultant paradigm as information systems become significantly integrated. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of cybersecurity within the context of information systems. The paper examines some of the most consequential aspects of cybersecurity from the perspective of an e-government project in Saudi Arabia. A holistic system is proposed within the research framework to incorporate various scientific guidelines. The general orientation of this research is predicated on the aspiration to design and implement a complex and robust framework within which an e-government system can thrive within the Saudi Arabian context. A consideration of the physical environment within which the project will operate is also made, focusing on security. An evaluation of the cybersecurity environment in Saudi Arabia is reflective of significant advancements that have occurred in information system domains within the past few years.

During the past 30 years the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has developed an extensive hospital-based mental health system culminating in the passing of a mental health law in 2014. This legislation embodies many of the international standards promoted by the World Health Organization. However, the mechanisms for protecting the human rights of psychiatric patients are neither sufficiently independent nor adequately robust.

Abstract The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has seen significant transformation in power generation in the past 10 years. There has been an increase in the number of F-class combined cycle power plants being developed and brought into commercial operation. There has also been a shift to the use of natural gas as primary fuel. At the same time, there has been an interest in switching the back-up fuel for new power plants from refined distillates to domestic crude oils. Both Arabian Super Light (ASL) and Arabian Extra Light (AXL) have been proposed for use in new F-class gas turbine combined cycle power plants. This paper provides details on the combustion evaluations of ASL and AXL, as well as the first field usage of ASL in a gas turbine.

Security Compliance

The adoption of health information systems provides many potential healthcare benefits. The government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has subsidized this field. However, like those of other less developed countries, organizations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia struggle to secure their health information systems. This issue may stem from a lack of awareness regarding information security. To date, most related studies have not considered all of the factors affecting information security compliance behavior (ISCB), which include psychological traits, cultural and religious beliefs, and legal concerns. This paper aims to investigate the usefulness of a theory-based model and determine the predictors of ISCB among healthcare workers at government hospitals in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The study investigated 433 health workers in Arar, the capital of the Northern Borders Province in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Two phases involved in this study were the hypothetical model formulation and identification of ISCB predictors. The results suggest that moderating and non-common factors (e.g., religion and morality) impact ISCB, while demographic characteristics (e.g., age, marital status, and work experience) do not. All published instruments and theories were embedded to determine the most acceptable theories for Saudi culture. The theory-based model of ISCB establishes the main domains of theory for this study, which were religion/morality, self-efficacy, legal/punishment, personality traits, cost of compliance/noncompliance, subjective norms, information security policy, general information security, and technology awareness. Predictors of ISCB indicate that general information security, followed by self-efficacy and religion/morality, is the most influential factor on ISCB among healthcare workers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This study is considered as the first to present the symmetry between theory and actual descriptive results, which were not investigated before.

In Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), the contribution from buildings towards energy consumption, both residential and commercial, has steadily increased reaching figures of 35% to 40% in the past few years. For this reason, energy efficiency in buildings is a prime objective for energy policy at regional, national and international levels. This research aims to provide design guidelines for buildings in Saudi Arabia taking into consideration the energy conservation principles. The proposed design parameters/guidelines are supported by computer simulation results of the software named “eQUEST” (Quick Energy Simulation Tool). This paper specifies minimum thermal resistance for walls and roofs, size and quality for glazing and performance standards for air conditioning (AC) systems.

AbstrakArtikel penelitian ini merupakan ringkasan hasil penelitian kelompok yang bertujuan mendeskripsikan formulasi gaya bahasa ingkari dilihat dari uslub nahwi-bahalaghi. Sumber datanya diambil melalui dokumentasi mushaf Alquran yang diterbitkan oleh Departemen Kementrian Agama RI tahun 1990 bekerja sama dengan Departemen Agama Islam, Urusan Wakaf dan Dakwah Kerajaan Arab Saudi. Objek penelitiannya terfokus pada seperangkat formulasi gaya bahasa ingkari yang dituturkan oleh orang-orang kafir musyrik. Adapun datanya dihimpun melalui dokumentasi dan format pencatatan. Kemudian data tersebut dianalisis secara kualitatif nahwiyah-balaghiyah dan kuantitatif yang mencakup frekuensi, presentase, rerata, dan rentang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari uslub nahwi, gaya bahasa ingkari menggunakan uslub nahwi yang terdiri atas syarat, qasam, dan tahdid, sedangkan dari uslub balaghi, uslub ingkari menggunakan qashar, amr, nahy, dan istifham. Uslub ingkari itu muncul karena faktor kepribadian yang mencakup sikap, keyakinan syirik, pendakwan diri sebagai putra dan kesasih Allah, bersumpuh tidak syirik, anggapan bahwa Uzair dan Isa adalah putra Allah; anggapan bahwa Alquran adalah dongengan orang-orang terdahulu; anggapan bahqa da’i adalah lemah akal, tukang sihir, pendusta, gila, pencegah peribadatan mereka, larangan mendengar Alquran; anggapan bahwa orang mukmin adlah sesat dan mengada-ada; dan anggapan bahwa sanggup menanggung dosa orang-orang mukmin. Kata-kata kunci: Uslub ingkari, uslub nahwi-balaghiAbstractThis research article is a summary of the results of the group research that aims to describe the formulation of  the denied style seen from uslub nahwi-bahalaghi. Sources of data were taken through the Qur'an Manuscripts documentation published  by the Department of the Ministry of Religious Affairs in 1990 in collaboration with the Department of Islamic, Endowments and Propagation Affairs Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The object of research is focused on the formulation of a set of spoken language style denied by the infidels and idolaters. The data were collected through documentation and recording format. Then the data is analyzed qualitatively through jawanib nahwiyah-balaghiyah and quantitatively through frequency, percentage, mean, and range. The results showed that of uslub nahwi, denied style is using uslub nahwi consisting of terms: qasam, and tahdid, while from uslub balaghi, denied uslub is using qashar, amr, nahy, and istifham. Denied sslub arised because of personality factors including attitudes, syirk beliefs,  accuseing themselves as God's sons and beloved, swearing not shirk, assumption of that Ezra and Jesus were  the son of God; assumption of that the Qur'an is the tales of the past; asssumption of that   preacher is weak reasonable, sorcerer, liar, lunatic, preventor  of their worship, prohibition of hearing  the Qur'an; assuming that the believer is someone misguided and ridiculous; and assumptions of that they could bear the sins of the believers.Keywords: Denied Uslub, uslub nahwi-balaghi
