Effective Information Security Awareness Emails
No full textAbstract: What are the factors that affect the awareness emails? How do I know if my emails have been read by the employees or not? How can a department protect critical information resources through efficient awareness? What types of procedures work best for an organization? These types of questions are commonly heard nowadays. Strong security awareness programs are the first line of defence against cybersecurity attacks. Because no matter how many tools an organization uses, there is always room for development. In this paper, we will discuss some of the crucial security awareness aspects that could influence behavioural shifts for the better.

Dental Anomalies in Primary Dentition among Arabian Children: A Hospital-Based Study
No full textAn observational study was carried out in a teaching hospital in Saudi Arabia to determine the occurrence of dental anomalies among Arabian children. The study included children of Saudi nationality with primary teeth. The study assessed the prevalence of dental anomalies in their primary dentition. The assessment and data collection were conducted by a single examiner, utilizing clinical examination and intra-oral radiographs. A comparative analysis was conducted to examine dental anomalies in relation to gender (boys and girls) and arch type (maxillary and mandibular). In addition, the study explored the occurrence of gender-specific dental anomalies depending on arch type. The data analysis was conducted using IBM Statistics (version 21.0) with a significance level of p < 0.05. In total, there were 245 children included in the final analysis. The study population consisted of boys (66%) and girls (34%), with an average age of 4.87 ± 0.9 years. Taurodontism was the most prevalent dental abnormality, occurring in 2.8% of the individuals in the study sample. The study sample exhibited hypodontia in 2%, supernumerary teeth in 2.4%, double teeth in 2%, and microdontia in 1.2%. Talon cusp and macrodontia have a relatively low incidence of 0.4%. Boys exhibit supernumerary teeth, microdontia, macrodontia, talon cusp, and taurodontism, whereas hypodontia and double teeth were more frequent in girls
Influence of Tooth Brushing and Previous Dental Visits on Dental Caries Status among Saudi Arabian Children
No full textObjective: To evaluate the dental caries status and its association with tooth brushing frequency and previous dental visits among Arabian children. Methods: Arabian school children attend a specialty pediatric dental clinic at Majmaah University, Saudi Arabia. Only children of Saudi origin with primary dentition were included in the study, and only one examiner was involved in the assessment and data collection. The parents of children completed a questionnaire to investigate possible explanatory variables for caries status, including tooth brushing frequency and previous dental visits. Dental caries were diagnosed according to the criteria recommended by the World Health Organization (2013). The comparison performed was based on sex, age, tooth brushing frequency, and previous dental visits. The descriptive statistics were carried out using SPSS (version 21.0) with a p-value of <0.05 significance. Results: The study involved 268 Saudi children with a mean age of 4.6 ± 1.1 years. The caries prevalence was 78.8%, and the mean dmft was 5.82 ± 4.48, while the overall mean scores for decayed, missing, and filled were 3.903 ± 3.69, 1.18 ± 1.69, and 0.73 ± 1.35, respectively. The mean dmft scores for the <3 years, 3.1–6 years, and >6 years old children were found to be 1.74, 6.58, and 4.58, respectively. Among the children, the females reported higher dmf scores (7.51 ± 4.18) compared to males (4.97 ± 4.39) with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001). Fifty percent of the children had tooth brushing habits of once daily, followed by never (22.4%), twice daily (15.7%), and rarely (11.2%) brushed their teeth. Statistically significant correlations were found between the children’s dental caries status, age, and dental visits, while sex and tooth brushing did not find a correlation. Conclusion: The prevalence of dental caries among Arabian preschool children was higher. Mandibular second molars were commonly affected by dental caries, while mandibular central incisors were less frequently affected. The child’s age and frequency of dental checkups were positively related to the prevalence of dental caries
Perceptions and Preventive Practices Regarding COVID-19 Pandemic Outbreak and Oral Health Care Perceptions during the Lockdown: A Cross-Sectional Survey from Saudi Arabia
No full textAims: The study aimed to evaluate perceptions and preventive practices regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and oral health care perceptions during the lockdown in the Saudi Arabian population. Materials and Method: This cross-sectional study was performed by collecting the data from individuals belonging to various parts of the Saudi Arabian Population through an online self-reported questionnaire. The questionnaire had two main parts: first comprised of demographic data include the region of residence, gender, nationality, age, the number of family members, monthly income of the family, and the second was further divided into three sections of perception (P), practice (PRA) and oral health care practice (D) questions. All these (P, PRA, and D) were analyzed by comparing all of the demographic characteristics. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS IBM (version 21.0), and statistical significance was set at a 5% level. Results: Overall, 2013 participants (54% males and 46% females) contributed to the Saudi Arabia study. Only 5% of non-Saudis live in Saudi Arabia were participated in the study, while the majority of participants were of 21–40 years age group (45%), 59% of having more than five family members, and 60% of them had ≤10 K Suadi riyal monthly income respectively. The majority of the participants were from Riyadh (33.7%) and Asir (25.1%) in the study. Overall, 89.5% of the participants were aware of the COVID-19 global pandemic. The majority of the participants (55%) from Saudi Arabia utilized the Ministry of Health website, a source of information regarding COVID-19. However, 56.5% of the participants had COVID-19 related perception, and 74.3% followed an appropriate preventive practice. Approximately 60% had good oral health practice. The study participants showed mixed opinions on perceptions regarding COVID-19, preventive practice, and oral health practices. Conclusion: The present study suggested that the Saudi Arabian population has good attention to COVID-19, but preventive practice and oral health perception need better awareness to control this novel virus spread. The Ministry of Health website utilized as a significant source of information among the Saudi Arabian population regarding COVID-19
A Critique of Saudi M&A Laws
No full textThis dissertation aims to elucidate Saudi Arabia’s mergers and acquisitions (M&A) laws. The dissertation studies and analyzes current Saudi M&A laws with reference to comparative models from different countries and provides recommendations to improve the transparency and efficiency of Saudi Arabia’s M&A laws. Such improvements may help companies attempting to conduct M&A activity in Saudi Arabia address certain barriers and difficulties, which may in turn help to stimulate the Saudi Arabian economy.
Saudi Arabia is considered one of the world’s foremost emerging markets. Since Saudi Arabia joined the World Trade Organization, its stock market has been growing quickly, including rapid growth in M&A transactions. The author of this paper argues that Saudi has a significant need for M&A activity and notes that despite the sharp growth in M&A activity in Saudi in recent years, most of Saudi’s M&A laws are not modern or sophisticated enough to handle the large, complex M&A transactions that are beginning to occur in the Kingdom. Certain M&A transactions attempted in Saudi, such as the Sahara-Sipchem deal, have been unsuccessful due to the absence of a legal framework capable of reinforcing and protecting M&A transactions and boosting M&A activities. This paper offers a critique and analysis of Saudi Arabia’s M&A laws.
The author argues that most of Saudi’s current M&A laws discourage corporations from engaging in M&A activity and/or cause M&A transactions to fail due to their (the laws’) deficits. This dissertation identifies loopholes in the Saudi legislation that governs M&A transactions. It covers antitrust law, corporate law, securities law and tax law and provides recommendations supported by models from different jurisdictions as to how M&A laws in Saudi can be made more efficient and brought in line with modern economic principles

CBCT in Pediatric Dentistry: Awareness and Knowledge of Its Correct Use in Saudi Arabia
No full textCBCT (Cone-beam computed tomography) is used for diagnosis, planning of treatment, and research. However, there are doubts and opinions regarding the use of CBCT for children and in pediatric dentistry. The knowledge about using this technique for pediatric patients is not clear to the dentists and some dental situations are still debated, therefore this study was done to understand the awareness and knowledge among dental practitioners and students across Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional and descriptive survey was done on 464 dental practitioners and students, and 21 questions were put forward to assess the knowledge and awareness. All questions were then critically analyzed individually and descriptively concluded with appropriate references. Our study revealed that still very few dental practitioners are aware about the latest advances and use of this technique in pediatric dentistry, and more awareness needs to be created
Effect of early tooth eruption on the development of dental caries in children: a cross-sectional study
No full textAbstract Background Evidence on the association between early tooth eruption and a high incidence of dental caries is scarce and mixed. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the relationship between the timing of tooth eruption and development of dental caries in 229 children from six dental clinics in Qassim, Saudi Arabia. Methods This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study involving 229 children from six dental clinics in Qassim, Saudi Arabia. The study was conducted in fluoridated area. Information regarding a child’s age, sex, relevant medical history, maternal diseases, and medications administered during pregnancy was collected through in-person interviews. The eruption time of the first primary tooth was the main exposure variable, representing the potentioal predicator, whereas the decayed, missing, and filled surface (World Health Organization dmfs index) scores of primary teeth were the outcome variables, as they provided the necessary outcome measurements for assessing dental caries. Caries examinations were conducted by five calibrated dentists, and the dmfs scores were calculated. Analyses were conducted using Spearman correlation, and additional analyses were performed using the Kruskal–Wallis test. Results Most participants started teething at the age of 6 months (29.7%; mean, 7.81 ± 2.59 months; range, 4–17 months), and no statistically significant correlations were found between the dental caries experience and time of eruption of the first tooth in the oral cavity. Conclusions These results provide further evidence on the weak association between dental caries and early tooth eruption. However, further prospective, longitudinal, and randomised studies with a large sample are necessary to validate these findings
Estimating Low Generalized Coloring Numbers of Planar Graphs
No full textabstract: The chromatic number of a graph is the minimum
number of colors needed to color such that no adjacent vertices
receive the same color. The coloring number \col(G) of a graph
is the minimum number such that there exists a linear ordering
of for which each vertex has at most backward neighbors.
It is well known that the coloring number is an upper bound for the
chromatic number. The weak -coloring number \wcol_{r}(G) is
a generalization of the coloring number, and it was first introduced
by Kierstead and Yang \cite{77}. The weak -coloring number \wcol_{r}(G)
is the minimum integer such that for some linear ordering
of each vertex can reach at most other smaller
vertices (with respect to ) with a path of length at most
and is the smallest vertex in the path. This dissertation proves that \wcol_{2}(G)\le23 for every planar graph .
The exact distance- graph of a graph
is a graph with as its set of vertices, and
if and only if the distance between and in is .
This dissertation improves the best known upper bound of the
chromatic number of the exact distance- graphs
of planar graphs , which is , to . It also improves
the best known lower bound, which is , to .
A class of graphs is nowhere dense if for every there exists such that no graph in the class contains a topological minor of the complete graph where every edge is subdivided at most times. This dissertation gives a new characterization of nowhere dense classes using generalized notions of the domination number.Dissertation/ThesisDoctoral Dissertation Mathematics 202
