The research aimed to study and test the impact of blockchain activation by audit clients on the effectiveness of the internal control structure. To achieve the research objective, an experimental approach was used to test the research hypotheses on a sample of auditors belonging to accounting and auditing firms in Egypt. According to auditing standards, specifically the second fieldwork standard, the auditor is responsible for performing tests of compliance and adherence related to internal controls for the purpose of assessing the level of control risk, and thus the risk of material misstatement, leading to the planning of detection risk. The theoretical part of the research concluded that blockchain technology is one of the most impactful technological applications in the current work environment. Additionally, there is a near consensus in previous related studies that activating this technology has an impact on the five main components of the internal control structure . In its practical part, the research concluded that the five research hypotheses related to the components of the internal control structure were accepted, confirming auditors' awareness of the potential benefits of blockchain activation by audit clients to enhance the effectiveness of the internal control structure.

In light of the growing significance of sustainability objectives and their connection with future economic landscapes, and considering the fundamental role of audit committees in the financial reporting environment, this study aims to measure the impact of audit committees characteristics on the level of disclosure of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices in the annual reports of companies listed on the Saudi financial market. This study utilizes the ESG index compiled by Bloomberg, which measures companies' disclosure levels for this purpose. Due to data availability, the sample includes 44 companies listed on the main market during the period from 2017 to 2021. Using multiple regression analysis, this study shows a positive impact of the independence, size, and financial expertise of audit committees on the level of disclosure of ESG practices. Additionally, the results show a negative impact of the number of audit committee meetings on the level of disclosure of ESG practices.

The aim of the research is to collect, study, analyze and present Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen’s views on the modes of recitation inferred from his interpretation of the Qur’an from Surat Al-Fatihah to Surat Al-Imran. The research comprises an introduction and two main sections. The introduction delineates the significance of the topic, the rationale behind its selection, the objectives, previous studies, the research plan, and the methodology. The first section delves into Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen’s perspective, while the second section explores his opinions on the recitations inferred from the beginning of the Qur’an to Surat Al-Imran. The findings of this research reveal Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen’s careful and reflective approach to the modes of recitation. The considerable effort he dedicates to this aspect, as well as his interest in one of the Qur’an’s most important sources of interpretation, becomes evident through this study. Although Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen did not interpret the entire Qur’an, he expounded on parts of it, encompassing more than half of its content. He mentions the seven modes of recitation in his interpretation, finding them sufficient and inferring their application. However, he does not address the three additional modes that complement the ten, nor did he discuss the abnormal readings, except in a few instances.

Manga translations offer a valuable opportunity for studying the complex interactions and dialogues between different cultures and modes of communication. This study takes a multimodal approach and a comparative qualitative analysis to explore the translation of manga in the Saudi market, which started recently in 2021. The emphasis is on illustrating how the link between the verbal and visual modes may be used in the translation process and how much input translators, and perhaps publishers, have in it. The research also seeks to explore the status of this new genre in Saudi literary systems, employing Evan Zohar’s division between central and peripheral strata based on the degree of intervention made to the target text and the tactics employed. The article includes instances of the Japanese manga Attack on Titan as well as its Arabic translation by the Saudi publisher Manga Arabia. The findings indicate that translation intervention was kept to a minimum, most likely because the translated manga is in a central position and no previous patterns were used to introduce this genre to the Saudi market.

The study addresses the ambiguity between the terms "morphology" and "derivation" in linguistic discourse. It aims to establish a methodological distinction to delineate their boundaries by examining their meanings, tracing the morphological concept's evolution, and redefining these terms. Employing logical and mathematical distinctions, the research investigates linguistic categories and their elements. Through a descriptive analytical approach, it delves into three axes: the development of morphological concepts, the interpretation of morphology and derivation in grammatical heritage, and the application of logical concepts to distinguish the terms. Among the most prominent results are the adoption of a new distinction between the terms morphology and derivation, the restriction of the divisions of morphology to them, and the importance of applying the concept of category in linguistics in formulating a methodological distinction between the two terms and reclassifying the divisions of Arabic morphology. The study recommends conducting in-depth studies on the concept of category in Arabic linguistics and investing it in analyzing other linguistic phenomena, benefiting from it in the educational curricula for teaching the Arabic language, and integrating the concept of category in teaching morphology and derivation.

This study aims to identify the role of external auditing in limiting the practice of creative accounting among Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Creative accounting involves providing fraudulent numbers and may be contained through efficient external auditing and the use of the rules and conduct of professional ethics. To achieve study objectives, a descriptive approach was taken by conducting a field study using a comprehensive inventory method. To suit the nature of the study, this method targeted all audit offices not licensed to practice with joint-stock companies. A questionnaire was used to collect data from the study population, and SPSS was used to analyze the results. The study results indicate that efficiency in external auditing contributes to limiting the practice of creative accounting among SMEs through procedures and audit plans, optimal use of resources (e.g., auditors), and knowledge and use of the rules and conduct of professional ethics. This study also composed a set of proposals to serve practitioners and decision makers, including measures that ensure and develop procedures in audit offices that contribute to discovering and reducing illegal practices.

Standards are the backbone of developing curricula and educational systems, as they precisely define what should be learned. Additionally, the integration of skills in curricula ensures that they are targeted in teaching and learning processes and thus acquired by learners. This study aims to analyze the national curriculum standards to reveal their level of inclusion of digital literacy. The descriptive approach was applied using the content analysis method, with a content analysis card used as the data collection tool. The results show that digital literacy is an essential component of the national standards (with a total percentage of 16%), is integrated seamlessly, and covers new trends in technology education, such as digital ethics and cybersecurity. The results also reveal that digital literacy standards are distributed into four categories, targeted in varying proportions, as follows: Using Digital Devices and Tools (54%), Searching for Information (28%), Ethics, Cybersecurity, and Societal Impact (11%), and Digital Communication and Collaboration (7%). The study recommends exploring the readiness of teachers to meet the requirements of digital literacy standards in terms of confidence, knowledge, and ability.

The study aimed to assess the level of future anxiety and the most common attachment patterns among mothers of children with chronic diseases, as well as to assess the relationship between them . It also aimed to determine any statistically significant differences in the level of future anxiety and attachment patterns depending on the variables of the mother’s educational level, the mother’s age, the type of disease, and the duration of diagnosis. The study sample consisted of (145) mothers who were under the care of the Islamic Center Society in Irbid Governorate, Jordan, during 2023. They were selected using the available method, and both the future anxiety scale and the attachment styles scale were used. The results of the study showed that the level of anxiety about the future among the mothers studied was high, and that the most common attachment style was the anxious attachment style, followed by avoidant attachment, followed by secure attachment. The results of the study also showed that there was no statistically significant relationship between the secure attachment style and anxiety about the future, and the existence of a positive relationship. Statistically significant between both the anxious attachment style and the avoidant attachment style. The results also showed that there were no statistically significant differences attributed to the effect of the mother’s educational level, the duration of diagnosis and the mother’s age, and the presence of statistically significant differences attributed to the effect of the type of illness on the measure of future anxiety.

The research aimed to understand the role of chatbots in developing research skills from the viewpoint of university students. The researchers followed a descriptive approach and used a questionnaire as a research tool. The results showed that chatbots have a moderate role in developing research skills among university students. The main problem with employing chatbots in scientific research is the accuracy and reliability of the data they provide. The potential risks of this employment were found to be high, including increased dependency and apathy among students, loss of creativity, and the possibility of personal data violation and sharing with external parties. Furthermore, responses to the research’s hypotheses showed that undergraduate students benefited more from chatbots in their research writing compared to postgraduate students, and students in theoretical colleges relied on chatbots in their research more than students in applied colleges. The researchers recommended integrating chatbots into university courses related to teaching research methodologies and forming expert programming teams to develop interactive chat applications capable of providing accurate documented information and translating reports and abstracts accurately while formatting data to fit the writing style in scientific research. Additionally, there should be an awareness campaign about the risks of using chatbots, especially regarding the protection of user data and ownership rights, and increasing researchers' reliance on chatbots to complete their scientific research.

This study aimed to explore the growing use of the internet as a commercial sales channel, emphasising the pivotal role of trust in online consumer relationships. This research focused on Saudi e-commerce platforms (e.g. Amazon.sa, Noon, Namshi, and Shein), due to their remarkable growth over previous years, by investigating the effect of consumer trust on online purchase intentions. The study surveyed 449 Saudi online shoppers, using a structural equation model to analyse the factors that determine online trust (perceived information quality, company competency, security, and online consumer reviews) and their influence on consumer online trust and perceived risk. The results revealed significant relationships between consumer online trust and perceived information quality, company competency, and security, challenging expectations regarding the link between online consumer reviews and consumer online trust. Surprisingly, online consumer reviews primarily influenced perceived risk rather than consumer online trust, impacting purchase intention to a limited extent. The research underscores the substantial influence of consumer online trust on perceived risk and purchase intention, offering micro perspectives on online consumer behaviour. By identifying key influences, including information quality and security, this study provides theoretical and managerial insights for e-commerce platforms, guiding the development of responsible online channels.
