Investigating Communication and Warning Channels to Enhance Crowd Management Strategies: a Study of Hajj Pilgrims in Saudi ArabiaTaibah, Hassan 05 1900 (has links)
The global increase in the number of mass gatherings and crowded events has brought with it new emergencies and unintended consequences for public administrators and first responders. Crowd managers attempt to overcome these challenges by enhancing operations, alleviating financial losses, keeping event organizers safe from liability and, most importantly, keeping the attendees safe. Effective communication among and between officials and guests has been identified as a key element in this process. However, there is a lack of risk communication studies, especially about heterogeneous crowds that congregate at religious events. With this gap in mind, this research aims to investigate the use of major communication channels available and/or preferred by Muslim pilgrims in Makkah, Saudi Arabia during Hajj to gauge their effectiveness in communicating risk information. This annual religious pilgrimage was chosen because it attracts over 2 million pilgrims from more than 140 countries, most of whom speak different languages and belong to different cultures but perform the same rituals at the same time. This dissertation seeks to answer three broad research questions: “what are the most popular communication channels used by pilgrims,” “what are the weaknesses of the current communication strategies,” and “what can be done to improve risk communication among pilgrims, and between pilgrims and authorities to enhance crowd control and crowd management strategies.” The protective action decision model (PADM) is used as the theoretical framework to understand the influence of six factors (environmental cues, social cues, information sources, channel access and preferences, warning messages, and receiver characteristics) on risk communication. In collaboration with the Transportation and Crowd Management Center of Research Excellence (TCMCORE) of Saudi Arabia, a convenience sampling strategy was employed to interview 348 pilgrims in the Prophet’s Mosque area, during the Hajj of 2013. The surveys were conducted in Arabic and English and included pilgrims from different backgrounds and countries. Data analysis included an evaluation of the correlation between the use of risk communication channels and receiver characteristics, message content, and information sources. Findings highlight low percentages in the overall use of communication channels. It also demonstrated an over-dependence on channels that foster the passive top-down communication strategy (such as TV stations, messages at mosques, billboard, text messages, and pamphlets), while marginalizing channels that foster the horizontal and bottom-up strategies (such as bilingual staff outreach and social media). The findings also show the differences in risk communication channels used by pilgrims from different socio-demographic groups. The study concludes that adopting bottom-up and horizontal strategies is key to effective risk communication. Additionally, crowd managers must recognize the importance of social media and use this medium more proactively. They can also work towards increasing the overall effectiveness of risk communication channels by addressing the impact of information sources, channel access, and receiver characteristics to better suit the needs of pilgrims. Finally, the study states the limitations and future research directions.

Srovnávací studie Saúdské Arábie a íránské zahraniční politiky vůči organizacím na Blízkém východě označenými USA za teroristické / Comparative Study of Saudia Arabia's and Iran's foreign policies towards U.S. designated terrorist organizations in Middle EastBajramović, Edin January 2020 (has links)
The Middle East, as one of the most dynamic and troubling world regions, has a wide range of problems. However, in my view, the essential, if not the most essential, security issue here, is terrorism. It seems that the relative decline of terrorist groups, such as ISIS and Al-Qaeda, has made us forget that there are indeed underlying problems that cause the emergence of these deadly organizations. This paper aims to identify these causes by analyzing Saudi and Iranian foreign policy towards U.S.-designated terrorist organizations: Hezbollah, Hamas, Al-Qaeda, and Islamic State. In the process, the thesis will establish the general motives of these two states to support and fight terrorism, as well as their means of doing it. Furthermore, it will dive into the specifics of the policies that these two formulate towards every one of the previously stated groups. That will be done in order to prove arguments contending how Riyadh, in many ways, hinders U.S. counterterrorism efforts, while Iranians, contrary to popular belief, contribute to it. Acknowledging that there are many things on which these two states need to improve, the thesis will offer recommendations pointing to the need for Washington to take a more balanced approach to these two countries if it wishes to create a region where its...

Women's Perspectives on Social Change in Saudi ArabiaAlhajri, Wafa 08 1900 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / There are significant social and policy changes that have been made in Saudi
Arabia. Some of these changes are relevant to women’s lives. The changes related to the
male guardianship system are crucial. Saudi women are restricted by the male dominant
culture and face obstacles that hold them accountable to their male guardians. The male
guardianship system is tied to heritage, culture, and traditionally ingrained mindsets. This
exploratory qualitative study provided a more comprehensive understanding of women’s
narratives by focusing on the deep meaning about the effects of the male guardianship
system on women’s lives in Saudi Arabia.
Sixteen women were interviewed. The finding found that the majority of Saudi
women did not perceive the guardianship system as protective or helping women by any
means and many had questions about its purpose and relevance. Regarding the legal
concept, most women were ambivalent because of recent policy reforms that the
government had promised, yet had not implemented it when the data was collected. The
religious beliefs surrounding the male guardianship system also varied according to
which religious interpretation women and their families followed. The traditional beliefs
of the male guardianship system differed among women due to social values which
differed from one family to another.
This study showed the persistent need to raise awareness among women and men
to deconstruct the Saudi culture and reshape the values and norms where women can be
respected as individuals so that they could govern their own lives. The findings also
showed that the new younger generation in Saudi Arabia are more willing to challenge
the Saudi culture and tradition for a better future. They are inspired by the Saudi vision
2030 and the social changes that took place a few years ago to benefit women, extending
work opportunities, education, enabling women to do government paperwork themselves,
and allowing women to drive and travel without male permission. All these reforms are
promising for a better future, but more work, more women voices, and more discussion is
needed. / 2022-08-17

De novo assembly of the Haloxylon persicum genome as a part of the KSA Native Genome ProjectBantan, Alamin M. 05 1900 (has links)
Haloxylon persicum is a xerophytic desert tree that grows mostly in deserts
in West and Central Asia. This tree is very tolerant to the harsh conditions
of deserts, mainly drought and heat. As a part of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Native Genome Project, a voucher specimen was identified, and the genome of this
plant was sequenced, assembled, and annotated. The chromosome level assembly
was performed using the integration of PacBio Hifi reads and Bionano optical
maps, resulting in 9 chromosome-sized molecules that only exhibit 3 gaps located
in highly repetitive regions. The annotation of the transposable elements in
the genome shows that more than 55% of the genome consists of transposable
elements. Moreover, genes were predicted using Iso-seq and RNA-seq and annotated
using publicly available protein databases, resulting in the identification of more
than 45,000 predicted genes, of which ≈ 10,000 have RNA evidence. The genome
assembly and annotation of Haloxylon persicum will: provide valuable insight
on the evolutionary history of desert plants, aid in discovering the mechanisms
developed by this species to cope with the extreme desert conditions and unveil
the possibilities and opportunities of neo-domesticating this plant. Furthermore,
this assembly can serve as a reference for assembling other plant species in the
KSA Native genome project or any other project worldwide.
