When this occurs, the brain does not get enough oxygen or nutrients which cause brain cells to die 2. In 2009, stroke was proclaimed as the underlying cause of death in 128,842 persons in the US, resulting in the rate of 38.9 deaths per 100,000 population.There are two broad types of stroke: ischemic and hemorrhagi 4. The risk factors for stroke are categorized into two principal subdivisions of risk factors: First; The Modifiable Risk factors, which are known to be adjustable with effort and proper knowledge, e.g., smoking and obesity. The other subtype is The Non-modifiable Risk Factors, such as age and positive family history. Aims: To measure the knowledge and attitude of stroke among Riyadh city population, along with determining their source of information and the reliability of these sources. -

Medicine, Sulaiman Al Rajhi University, Qassim, SAU Corresponding author: Mohammed Albeshri, [email protected] Abstract Objective Social media have become the platform of choice for people seeking immediate access to information. They have become so ubiquitous and pervasive that many people are using them to research health care providers and communicate with them about their issues. This study looks into this phenomenon, focusing on how it affects people’s thinking when deciding which doctor to see for skin-related concerns. Methodology A cross-sectional study was conducted among patients at Derma Clinic in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Data were collected using a validated self-administered questionnaire. A total of 365 patients were included in the analysis. Results Out of 365 participants, 44.9% visited the center for medical purposes, while 45.8% visited for cosmetic purposes. Sixty-six percent of the participants (n=241) went to a dermatologist they knew, and only 21% of those participants knew their dermatologist from social media (Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, and Telegram). About 44.54% preferred to know more about their dermatologists from Twitter, followed by Instagram 27.96%, Snapchat 24.64%, and Facebook 2.84%. -
Potentiality of Secondary Aquifers in Saudi Arabia: Evaluation of Groundwater Quality in Jubaila Limestone
International Journal of Geosciences, 2012, 3, 71-80 http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/ijg.2012.31009 Published Online February 2012 (http://www.SciRP.org/journal/ijg) Potentiality of Secondary Aquifers in Saudi Arabia: Evaluation of Groundwater Quality in Jubaila Limestone Mohammed Tahir Hussein1, Mazin M. Al Yousif2, Hussein S. Awad1 1SGSRC, Department of Geology, College of Science, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 2KACST, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia Email: [email protected] Received September 11, 2011; revised October 16, 2011; accepted November 18, 2011 ABSTRACT Groundwater scarcity in arid regions may hinder development plans and cause many inconveniences for the population and authorities. Saudi Arabia has limited groundwater resources stored in the sedimentary sequence of the Arabian Shelf. Some of these resources were classified as major aquifers, secondary and minor aquifers, and some were consid- ered as aquicludes. The Jubaila Limestone is one of the secondary aquifers of Saudi Arabia. The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the groundwater resources of the Jubaila Limestone in Riyadh area, with emphasis on groundwater quality. Groundwater was found to occur in fractures and within solution openings of the Jubaila Limestone at depths which range between 19 and 210 m. The transmissivity value was 1.7 × 10–3 to 7.2 × 10–3 m2/s; the storage coefficient was of 1.3 × 10–4. The electrical conductivity for collected water samples ranged between 831 and 7670 µS/cm. The major ionic relationships were Na > Ca > Mg and SO4 > Cl > HCO3. The groundwater evolves from NaCl dominated at the southern end of the study area, into Ca, MgSO4 water in the north. -

Accessibility Analysis of Roads Network in Al-Qassim Region
Accessibility Analysis of Roads Network in Al-Qassim Region Dr. Mohammed Aldagheiri Abstract: There is wide debate on the role of the transport roads network and changes in accessibility on regional economic development. However, any improvements in accessibility will lead to economic development. The main goal of this paper is to analyze the accessibility of the roads network in the Al-Qassim region. Three types of accessibility measures are used in analyzing the accessibility of roads: the Shimbel Index, the number of direct connections to other centers which is obtained directly from the connectivity matrix, and the number of nodes between every two nodes. In accordance with the results of the study, the accessibility of roads able to contribute to regional economic development in the Al-Qassim region, thus reducing distances and bringing the peripheral regions closer to the central ones. Keywords: Accessibility, Roads Network, and Al-Qassim Region. 1 Introduction There is wide debate on the role of transport roads network and changes in accessibility on regional economic development. However, any improvements in accessibility will lead to economic development. Transport is usually defined as the means by which people and commodities move from one place to another, by a number of physical modes including roads, water, railways, airlines and pipelines. The focus of this paper is on roads because this is the only mode of transportation in the study area (Al-Qassim region). Transportation is considered a subject matter of Economic Geography which includes Agricultural and Industrial Geography. Goodall (1987: 142) stated that "the development of Economic Geography over the past three decades has witnessed the substitution of analysis for description, leading to an identification of the factors and an understanding of the process affecting the spatial differentiation of economic activities over the earth's surface". -

Urgent Action
Further information on UA: 175/07 Index: MDE 23/002/2013 Saudi Arabia Date: 07 January 2013 URGENT ACTION SRI LANKAN AT RISK OF EXECUTION IN SAUDI ARABIA After exhausting all of her appeals, Rizana Nafeek is at imminent risk of execution in Saudi Arabia for a crime she allegedly committed while under the age of 18. Aged only 17 years at the time, Sri Lankan domestic worker Rizana Nafeek was arrested in May 2005 on charges of murdering an infant in her care. On 16 June 2007, she was sentenced to death by a court in Dawadmi, a town west of the capital Riyadh. The sentence was subsequently upheld by the Court of Cassation and sent for ratification by the Supreme Judicial Council. However, it was sent back to the lower court for further clarification. The case went back and forth until on or around 25 October 2010, when the Supreme Court in Riyadh upheld the death sentence. The case was then sent to the King for ratification of the death sentence. Recent media reports indicate that the family of the infant who died have refused to pardon her and her execution is now imminent. Rizana Nafeek had no access to lawyers either during her pre-trial interrogation or at her first trial. She initially “confessed” to the murder during interrogation, but has since retracted this account. Rizana Nafeek says she was forced to make the “confession” under duress following a physical assault. The man who translated her statement was not an officially recognized translator and it appears that he may not have been able to adequately translate between Tamil and Arabic. -
