Digital Transformation and AI Applications in Analyzing the Play A Journey in a Coma
No full textThis study aims to explore the concepts of digital transformation and the mechanisms of artificial intelligence in the present era. All AI programs serve as a bridge between computational technologies and their practical applications in various fields of science, particularly focusing on the humanities. Given the significance of the idea that digital transformation and AI technologies primarily aim to simulate human intelligence, perform its cognitive functions, and execute its mental processes at the required speed, this informational issue has become a contemporary challenge among researchers. This topic has gained special importance when we attempt to apply its research findings to virtual creative art, with a specific focus on dramatic art. In this critical analysis, we follow a semiotic approach. From this perspective, the subject of our study addresses: "Digital Transformation and AI Applications in Analyzing the Play A Journey in a Coma in which the author JazilaMimshawi adopted some artificial intelligence techniques, attempting to simulate historical figures with virtual dramatic characters, and relying on the element of time by connecting the past with the future to keep pace with contemporary developments
An Analysis Of Formulaic Structure In L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz
No full textThis research discusses the formula in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by Lyman Frank Baum. The formula in this novel is done by elaborating the narrative structure in the novel including plot, character and characterization, and setting. Furthermore, this thesis is required to break down the construction of magical things in modern American culture which appears in the formula. The construction of magical things in modern American culture in the formula relates to cultural background of America. Therefore, this research uses a theory of formula written by John G. Cawelti (1976) to finish this thesis. The standardization is needed to find the narrative structure in the formula. It consists of three literary elements such as plot, character and characterization, and setting. To show the relation between formula and culture, the discussion in this thesis explores the construction of magical thing in modern American culture as the escapism of the novel. It aims to find the American cultural belief in magic represented in the novel.
This thesis is a qualitative research since the data are in the form of utterances or words. The data are divided into two types- primary and secondary data. The primary data are taken from the narration of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The secondary data are taken from books, journals, articles, and website from internet which show the condition of magic in American culture.
As a result, the research can be concluded that The Wonderful Wizard of Oz uses the popular pattern such as adventure and mystery. The setting of the novel is constructed by adventure pattern and the setting in the Land of Oz‟s regions use the several colors to represent society feeling and mood. The unique characters are created from the adaptation of Halloween symbol. The group of hero also has unique way to defeat the villain in the story. The unique way is pictured by the

human ability which is possesed by the group of hero such as brain, heart, and courage.
The Witches and Wizard as the characters in the novel relate to the second discussion of the construction magical things in modern American culture as the relation between formula and culture. The result shows that The Wonderful Wizard of Oz mirrors the American cultural belief in magic. In modern era, the traditional belief still exists. In this case, the author still brings the traditional belief in magic presented by the minor characters. While, the superior figure presents the modern magic which is ventriloquist. Ventriloquist is still connected to the Ancient Greek belief. In the past the position of ventriloquist is a supernatural power but in modern era the position changes into the art performance. As a modern spirit, magic becomes a form of art because rationality is held in high esteem by modern subject. Through the story, Baum wants to show the spirit of modern subject in rejecting the traditional belief. Therefore, ventriloquist that is previously understood as a supernatural power is transformed as an art in modern American culture

Changes in physical activity during COVID‐19 pandemic among Saudi Arabians: Results from a cross‐sectional study
No full textBACKGROUND AND AIMS: The COVID‐19 pandemic and the resultant change in sedentary behaviors have had immense health, economic, and social implications globally. As governments worldwide imposed lockdowns and curfews, the amount of time spent indoors greatly increased. This lead to a dramatic change in physical activity (PA) levels and profound consequences on daily routines. Our study aimed to investigate patterns of PA during the COVID‐19 pandemic among adults residing in Saudi Arabia. METHODS: This cross‐sectional survey‐based study aimed to investigate patterns of PA during the COVID‐19 pandemic among adults residing in Saudi Arabia. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire was utilized to measure participants' PA levels between April 2021 and May 2021. Participants were then classified into three groups according to their PA level, and their PA levels and sedentary behaviors were analyzed. RESULTS: We surveyed 463 participants, 315 (68%) of which were female and 134 (32%) of which were male with a median age of 23 (interquartile range, 21–35) years. Moderate‐to‐high PA was reported by 257 (55.7%) of the participants. There was a significant decrease in PA during the COVID‐19 pandemic and resultant lockdowns among the participants (p = 0.04), with higher rates of sedentary behavior among males than females (p = 0.14). CONCLUSIONS: The decline in PA is a profound challenge of the COVID‐19 pandemic that needs to be addressed by health practitioners and policymakers. Our study highlights the decline in PA levels seen during the COVID‐19 pandemic and the importance of promotional programs and interventions to increase PA among the Saudi Arabian population without compromising the essential health restrictions and social distancing
