The electronic government (E-Gov) systems are currently getting recognized as an authentic strategically tool in delivering E-services. Considering the development of information system (IS) as well as the expanding of the internet-based applications in KSA, E-Gov has always been a significant aspect in delivering governmental services. This research has adopted the (IS) success model by both DeLone and McLean (D&M), moreover, it adopted technology acceptance model (TAM) with cybersecurity factors, both models were implemented to discover the status of the IS success then investigate cybersecurity aspects that impact the service efficiency and effectiveness in KSA. Consequently, this research aims to create a model to investigate the IS success model along with cybersecurity factors that influence E-Gov services effectiveness and usage. Therefore, a survey has been applied as the major data gathering approach; the survey has been distributed among 211 users of E-Gov services consistently. Moreover, all research findings were attained through a quantitative method using the structural equation modelling (SEM). Findings revealed that the constructs fundamental of the (IS) success model are strongly influencing users' satisfaction (US) of the E-Gov services; correspondingly, the fundamental constructs factors of cybersecurity with TAM appear to have a strong impacts on perceived risk (PR), in addition, both which affect the E-Gov services towards usage and effectiveness.

This article aims to discuss the stereotyped view of other religious groups in al-Andalus during the Middle Ages based on literary texts. The study will focus on the image of the Christian and the Jew in the Andalusian culture through these texts, and will analyze how political disagreements, in particular, contributed to the emergence of negative stereotypes about these two groups without being the religious difference responsible for the intolerance or hate that appeared among the three monotheistic religions. The study will also reveal that once the political interest is absent, the vision of the other in religion becomes positive, since al-Andalus as a whole cannot be understood without its religious diversity, which is more important than any other cultural factor. ; El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo discutir la visión estereotipada del otro religioso en al-Ándalus durante la Edad Media basándose en los textos literarios. El estudio se centra en la imagen del cristiano y el judío en la cultura andalusí a través de dichos textos, y analiza cómo los desacuerdos políticos, sobre todo, contribuyeron al surgimiento de estereotipos negativos acerca de estos dos grupos sin que fuera la diferencia religiosa en sí misma la responsable de la intolerancia o el odio surgidos entre las tres religiones monoteístas. El estudio desvela igualmente que, una vez se ausenta el interés político, la visión del otro en religión se vuelve positiva, ya que al-Ándalus en su conjunto no se entiende fuera de su diversidad religiosa, por encima de cualquier otro factor cultural.

This study aims to explore the level of intellectual security and risk behaviours and discover if there is any correlation between them among a sample of female students of Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University, Al-Kharj. The study also seeks to reveal if there are variations in the responses of the sample members regarding specialisation and academic level. The researcher used a "correlative descriptive approach" to meet the study's objectives. The "Intellectual Security Scale" (Al-Muammar & Muhammad, 2016) and the "Risk Propensity Scale (Al-Qatrawi, 2012) were used. The researcher chose a random sample of 150 female students from the selected university. The data obtained from the sample, was processed statistically. The results indicated that the level of intellectual security among female students was very high while their level of propensity towards risk was medium. The results also revealed a significant inverse correlation at the level of 0.05 between intellectual security and propensity towards risks among female university students. In comparison, according to the specialisation variable, there were no statistically significant differences at the significance level of 0.01 and less, in the responses of the study sample members about intellectual security and propensity towards risk. The study recommends that the in charge of academic counselling should mainly be guided about enhancing the intellectual security of university students and the positive concept of risk behaviour in general.

AbstractThe increasing prevalence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in higher education underscores the necessity to explore its implications on ethical, social, and educational dynamics within the sector. This study aims to comprehensively investigate the impact of AI on higher education in Saudi Arabia, delving into stakeholders' attitudes, perceptions, and expectations regarding its implementation. The research hones in on key facets of AI in higher education, encompassing its influence on teaching and learning, ethical and social implications, and the anticipated role of AI in the future. Employing a quantitative approach through an online survey questionnaire (N = 1113), this study reveals positive attitudes toward AI in higher education. Stakeholders recognize its potential to enhance teaching and learning, streamline administration, and foster innovation. Emphasis is placed on ethical considerations and guidelines for AI implementation, highlighting the imperative need to address issues such as privacy, security, and bias. Participants envision a future characterized by personalized learning experiences, ethically integrated AI, collaboration, and ongoing support for lifelong learning. Furthermore, the results illuminate the intricate interplay between AI usage, purposes, difficulties, and their impact on attitudes, perceptions, and future implications. Accordingly, the research underscores the necessity for a comprehensive understanding of AI integration, considering not only its technical aspects but also the ethical, social, and educational dimensions. By acknowledging the role of AI uses, AI usage purposes, and addressing associated difficulties, educational stakeholders can work towards harnessing the benefits of AI while ensuring responsible and effective implementation in teaching and learning contexts.
