This research discusses about Fatwa regarding Siri Marriage or known as Unregistered Marriage. In the other countries, this phenomenon called ‘Urfi Marriage. This research comprised in normative category because analyzing documents and literatures related to Fatwa regarding Siri Marriage. Qualitative Description is used as an approach to compare between Indonesian Ulema Council or Majelis Ulama Indonesia (“MUI”) with other five Fatwa councils from different countries: (1) Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (“KSA”), (2) Egypt, (3) Jordan, (4) Kuwait, and (5) Libya. The results show that in substance and procedure, Siri or ’Urfi Marriage activities in five nations are indifferent. The distinction only occurs on the naming aspect. Indonesia and KSA have the same terminology which is Siri Marriage, whereas three other countries employ ‘Urfi Marriage expression. From legal perspective, those five nations have similar concept that, if the marriage complies with the Islamic basis and requisite, then it fulfills legitimate sharia condition for marriage in Islam. But, to accomplish rights in civil law, it needs to register the marriage officially in the country’s appointed institution.

Introduction. No doubt that the Iran-USA nuclear deal of 2015 got fame in the international politics. Some countries were in favor of such a deal and some were against this development. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has more concerns over the Iran nuclear deal, it feels that after the deal Iran will become a regional power and will increase its military and political power which will disturb the regional security and stability. As the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) itself provokes the creation of such conditions, thus their influence in the Middle East will be affected. Analysis. The article analyzes the concerns of Israel, implications for Turkey, the question why deal is beneficial for Pakistan, economic concerns of Saudi Arabia, implications for Persian Gulf and Middle East, economic implications for Turkey, economic opportunities for Pakistan. After the nuclear deal, Iran becomes a regional power and increases its political and economic influence in the region, especially in the Persian Gulf. The world says that Iran cannot get nuclear weapons after the deal because it has no such a capacity. However, according to some findings from the documents of the deal Iran is not blocked to become a nuclear power and the deal legitimizes the nuclear program. So, on the other hand after the Iran nuclear deal the regional political and economic environment is totally favorable to Iran. On the other hand, scholars believe that the United States of America (USA) operate in terms of diplomatic competition. From the economic standpoint, the deal will be favorable for Iran. Thus, some countries have objections related to the deal, while others express a positive attitude towards it. Results. Pakistan will be able to generate economic opportunities from Iran, especially with the help of Iran-Pakistan-India Gas pipeline project (IPI project). Consequences of the deal will be beneficial for the regional economic development of the Middle East and South Asia respectively.

A New Species

Egyptian and Saudi Arabian Thyridanthrax spp. collected in field trips or preserved in the Efflatoun’s insect collection in Cairo University were taxonomically studied. One new species, T. elegansoides sp. nov., is herein described, and two species, T. decipulus (Austen) and T. polyphemus (Wiedemann), are newly recorded from Egypt. Ten species are treated: one species from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, T. anomalus Greathead; two species from Egypt and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, T. decipulus (Austen) and T. perspicillaris (Loew); and seven species from Egypt: T. elegans (Wiedemann), T. elegansoides sp. nov., T. griseolus (Klug), T. incanus (Klug), T. lotus (Loew), T. obliteratus (Loew), and T. polyphemus (Wiedemann). Taxonomic comments, an identification key to species, diagnoses, and photographs of some species and genitalia are provided. Based on wing morphology and male genitalic characters, T. lotus clearly does not fit in the genus Thyridanthrax, and may need to be placed elsewhere, nevertheless it is not clear whether it can be included in any of the other currently recognized genera in the tribe Villini. It is here kept in Thyridanthrax until a more rigorous study can be conducted to better ascertain its position in the Villini.

Vision 2030

Saudi Vision 2030 is a scheme; the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has formulated to realize its mainstream economic, social, and administrative goals. Accordingly, the Kingdom strategizes to implement this transformative Vision. The current research aims to analyze how American media has reported several events, actions, and policies in line with Saudi Vision 2030. Thus, the question posed is how an image of the transformative Saudi Kingdom has been presented by American media discourse, in line with Vision 2030. The study is substantial for the Kingdom to ascertain how the world has responded to its Vision. Moreover, in a world with media as a dominant directing agency, it is imperious for the Kingdom to keep an eye on its image in the global community. The research is primarily a quantitative study based on the corpus approach to study the designated media discourse. A specialized corpus of 150,000 words is compiled and analyzed through a variety of corpus tools. The results reveal that American newspapers have given limited representation of the Vision and related activities. Their media usually highlights the pre-existing features of the Kingdom. On the other hand, there are very occasional references to some new aspects like the transformation of the economy, promotion of tourism, revision of the society, etc., which are being implemented in the Kingdom. The study suggests that the Kingdom needs to brief the Western world for an enriched campaign of its contemporary image.

Secondary Information

Country branding is a systematic process of organising the country's actions, behaviour, investments, innovations, and communications to achieve a desirable reputation. On the other hand, the country image represents the stereotyping of a country that does not always represent its identity, and that is the case of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Despite KSA's achievements, especially after the 2030 ambitious vision, it is mostly perceived as an oil-producing country. Therefore, this study aims to: review the concept of country image, identity, and branding examples, as well as evaluate the KSA current brand based on secondary information. The author uses a relevant literature review to explore the topic. This paper finds (1) a lack of a strategic plan, studies, and suggest the establishment of branding authority in KSA. (2) Branding KSA is highly essential for two reasons: First, Branding will help KSA to highlight the 2030 vision successes and extend its image beyond the traditional perception. Second, branding is significant, especially with the current competition between countries. The paper may be first to bring attention to the importance of country branding in the KSA context.                                      Keywords: country branding, country image, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, vision 2030

Abstract: This study set out to examine how learning disabilities teachers define Students with Gifted and Learning Difficulties (SGLD). One rationale for interviewing learning disabilities teachers is that they work with students with learning disabilities and may be more aware than others of some of the characteristics of SGLD. The other rationale is that the education system in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia does not focus on giftedness very much, and therefore, only a small number of teachers of giftedness were available for this study. The qualitative data garnered from the interviews were analysed using content analysis. Nine learning disabilities teachers participated in this study. Findings from the study suggested that the learning disabilities teachers’ definitions of SGLD are limited, indicating a lack of understanding of the characteristics of SGLD. The results of this study may assist teachers and educational personnel in seeking the optimal methods to identify and assist SGLD. Keywords: giftedness and learning disabilities, learning disabilities teachers  BAGAIMANA GURU DARI SISWA DENGAN KESULITAN BELAJAR DI ARAB SAUDI MENDEFINISIKAN SISWA BERBAKAT DAN KESULITAN BELAJAR  Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggali bagaimana guru siswa berbakat dan kesulitan belajar (SGLD) mendefinisikan arti berbakat serta kesulitan belajar yang dialami oleh siswa mereka. Salah satu alasan utamanya adalah karena karena mereka merupakan orang yang seharusnya sangat dekat dengan siswa-siswa tersebut, sehingga mereka selayaknya lebih paham serta mengetahui karakteristik dari siswa berbakat tersebut. Alasan lainnya adalah karena sistem pendidikan di Arab Saudi belum banyak memberikan perhatian pada pendidikan bagi anak berbakat serta mengalami kesulitan belajar, yang salah satunya tercermin dari sedikitnya jumlah guru anak berbakat ini. Data kualitatif yang diperoleh dari interview dianalisis dengan analisis konten. Sembilan orang guru terlibat dalam penelitian ini. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa definisi guru SGLD sangatlah terbatas atau kurang, yang ditunjukkan dari kurangnya pengertian mereka tentang pengertian SGLD itu sendiri. Hasil penelitian ini dapat digunakan untuk membantu guru serta pihak terkait dalam menyediakan metode terbaik untuk mengidentifikasi serta membantu siswa berbakat serta kesulitan belajar. Kata kunci: kebutuhan khusus dan kesulitan belajar, guru anak dengan kesulitan belajar

Endangered Plant Species

The genus Barleria has many potential species whose study is very necessary to search novel genes to improve the other potential crop species. The first step to use the plant is its identification as sometimes morphological mark-ers are less reliable as compared to the biochemical and DNA based markers. The conservation of the endangered plant species is very important in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as these are important genetic resources. The numbers of endangered plant species are increasing every year in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia due to various harsh environmental conditions. Barleria bispinosa and B. trispinosa are endangered plants of Al-Baha province and whose con-servation is very necessary. We studied its phylogenetic relationship based on the internal transcribed spacer sequence of nrDNA. The marker showed their phylogenetic relationship with the other species of the same genus available at GenBank database and was proven very effective. Thus, nrITS, can be used for the phylogenetic study of the other species of the same fam-ily which is very important to understand the relationship among them.
