ABSTRACT Eight giant petrochemical joint ventures will come on stream in Saudi Arabia between 1983 and 1985, reaching full capacity by 1987. While the equity for these complexes will be at least $12 billion, they will benefit from very cheap feedstock making them highly competitive. With the foreign partners in the ventures marketing much of the output abroad and with a growing domestic demand, there should be little difficulty with sales. In any event Saudi Arabia can link the sale of petrochemicals with the availability of crude oil. A re-structuring of the world production of petrochemicals is virtually inevitable, with Saudi Arabia and other countries with cheap feedstock producing bulk petrochemicals while the more industrialized countries concentrate on specialty petrochemicals with a greater value-added. Quebec, with petrochemicals a growth sector, is well placed to take advantage of these changes. Saudi Arabia, which normally runs a substantial trade surpluses with Quebec—some $360 million in 1981—might well opt to invest part of theses surpluses in a petrochemical industry in Quebec.

Background: The Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) is a viral respiratory disease caused by a member of the coronaviruses called Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV). The co-infections of MERS-CoV with other respiratory viruses have been documented in rare cases in the scientific literature. This study was carried out to determine whether confection of MERS-CoV occurs with other respiratory viruses in Saudi Arabia.Methods: Nasopharyngeal swabs samples of 57 MERS-CoV positive outpatients were collected using flocked swabs. Nucleic acid was extracted from each sample using commercial NucliSens easyMAG system. Amplification was performed by multiplex RT-PCR using Fast Track Diagnostics Respiratory Pathogen 33. Data were analyzed with SPSS software version 19 and comparison of variables was done with Fisher Exact test, with p value <0.05 considered significant.Results: Six of the total 57 MERS-COV patients (35 males, 22 females) were positive for co-infection of MERS CoV with other respiratory viruses, giving a prevalence rate of 10.5%, with 14.5% (5/35) in males and 4.5% (1/22) in females (OR=3.500, 95% CI=0.3806-32.188, p=0.3889). The prevalence of co-infections was significantly higher among non-Saudis (23.8%, 5/21) than Saudis (2.8%, 1/36) (OR=0.09143, 95% CI=0.009855-0.8485, p=0.0217), and among the age group 18-34 years (25%, 3/12) than other age groups (X2=3.649, p=0.1613). Human rhinovirus (HRV) was found in 2 of the 6 (33.3%) patients with co-infection while the other viruses were found in each of the remaining 4 patients.Conclusion: Our study confirms that MERS-CoV co-infects with other respiratory viruses in Saudi Arabia.

Les co-infections de MERS-CoV avec d'autres virus respiratoires ont été documentées dans de rares cas dans la littérature scientifique. Cette étude a été réalisée pour déterminer si la confection du MERS-CoV se produit avec d'autres virus respiratoires en Arabie saoudite. Méthodes: Des écouvillons nasopharyngés de 57 patients ambulatoires positifs au MERS-CoV ont été prélevés à l'aide d'écouvillons floqués. L'acide nucléique a été extrait de chaque échantillon en utilisant le système NucliSens easyMAG commercial. L'amplification a été réalisée par RT-PCR multiplex en utilisant Fast Track Diagnostics Respiratory Pathogen 33. Les données ont été analysées avec le logiciel SPSS version 19 et la comparaison des variables a été effectuée avec le test Fisher Exact, avec une valeur p<0,05 considérée comme significative. Résultats: Six des 57 patients MERS-COV (35 hommes, 22 femmes) étaient positifs pour la co-infection de MERS CoV avec d'autres virus respiratoires, donnant un taux de prévalence de 10,5%, avec 14,5% (5/35) chez les hommes et 4,5% (1/22) chez les femelles (OR 3.500, 95% CI 0.3806-32.188, p=0.3889). La prévalence des co-infections était plus élevée chez les non-saoudiens (23.8%, 5/21) que chez les saoudiens (2.8%, 1/36) (OR=0.09143, 95% CI=0.009855-0.8485, p=0.0217) et parmi le groupe d'âge de 18 à 34 ans (25%, 3/12) que dans les autres groupes d'âge (X2=3.649, p=0.1613). Le rhinovirus humain (VRC) a été trouvé chez 2 des 6 (33,3%) patients co-infectés tandis que les autres virus ont été trouvés chez chacun des 4 patients restants. Conclusion: Notre étude confirme que le MERS-CoV co-infecte avec d'autres virus respiratoires en Arabie Saoudite. Mots-clés: MERS-CoV; URTI; Co-infection; Coronavirus

Background Current Western discourses on women’s movements in Saudi Arabia proffer an understanding that is adverse to history and sidelines the region’s local knowledges, replacing such knowledges with a techno-utopian assumption that technology would produce better social or political conditions, and exhibit a pattern of disembodiment.Analysis  This article endeavours to disturb ahistorical, monolithic, and disembodied accounts of Saudi women’s movements through three interventions: the historicization of the Saudi women’s activism and feminist movements; the recognition of the heterogeneity of Saudi women’s movements; and finally, the acknowledgement of the corporeality of Saudi women’s resistance.Conclusion and implications These interventions facilitate a better, more nuanced, and more contextual understanding of revolutionary and feminist practices, not only in Saudi Arabia, but also elsewhere in the world.Contexte  Les discours occidentaux actuels dépeignent les mouvements féministes en Arabie saoudite d’une manière qui est contraire à l’histoire et qui marginalise les savoirs locaux de la région. Ces discours occidentaux remplacent les savoirs locaux par une approche techno-utopique selon laquelle la technologie réaliserait de meilleures conditions sociales ou politiques. Ces discours manifestent en outre une tendance vers la désincarnation.Analyse  Cet article met en question les comptes rendus ahistoriques, monolithiques et désincarnés sur les mouvements féministes saoudiens en soulignant : l’historicisation du militantisme des femmes saoudiennes et des mouvements féministes dans le pays; la reconnaissance de l’hétérogénéité des mouvements féministes saoudiens; et finalement la corporalité de la résistance par les femmes saoudiennes.Conclusion et implications  Ces mises au point permettent une meilleure compréhension, mieux contextualisée et plus nuancée, de pratiques révolutionnaires et féministes, non seulement en Arabie saoudite mais aussi ailleurs dans le monde.

Abstract.Background: Establishing understanding of infants’ dietary intakes can support interventions to improve their diets and overall health. Because information on the dietary intakes of infants aged ≤12 months in Saudi Arabia is scarce, this study examined the diets of infants aged 6 and 12 months in Saudi Arabia and determined their main dietary sources of total energy and macronutrients. Methods: A crosssectional dietary survey employing a single 24-hour recall was performed between May and December 2015 with a sample of mothers of 278 healthy 6-month-old and 259 12-month-old infants. An analysis of the dietary intake data determined the nutrient intake adequacy and the percentage contributions of foods to energy and macronutrient intakes. Results: The respective mean daily energy intakes of the 6-month-old and 12-month-old infants in the study were 703 kcal and 929 kcal. Both age groups recorded adequate nutrient intakes, with the exception that the 6-month-olds’ mean vitamin D intake fell below the recommended Adequate Intake (AI), and the 12-month-olds’ intakes of omega-6 fatty acids and vitamin D were also below the AI, along with their iron intake which fell short of the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA). Conclusion: The data generated here will assist health professionals in planning interventions which aim to improve infants’ diets and to offer guidance to parents on the appropriate selection of food for their infants.

Abstract. Background: Medical students are at high risk of suicidal ideation. Aim: We aimed to obtain information on suicidal ideation among medical students in Dammam located in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the College of Medicine affiliated with Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. Suicidal ideation in the past 12 months was assessed based on responses to four questions in the depression subscale of the General Health Questionnaire 28 (GHQ-28). In addition, data were collected to examine the association of suicidal ideation with various factors. Results: We found that 1 in 3 medical students in the study had suicidal ideation in the past 12 months, while around 40% had lifetime suicidal ideation. Suicidal ideation was associated with feelings of parental neglect, history of physical abuse, and dissatisfaction with academic performance. Limitations: The cross-sectional nature of this study limits its ability to determine causality regarding suicidal ideation. Conclusion: These rates are considerably high when compared with rates from studies in other countries around the world. This study provides a reference in the field of suicidology for this region of Saudi Arabia.
