Judicial Decision-Making in Personal Injury Cases: A Comprehensive Analysis of Factors, Constraints, and Theoretical Frameworks
The analysis explores the constraints faced by judges and elucidates how these challenges shape their decision-making. Additionally, the paper critically evaluates the leading theories proposed by scholars to understand judicial behavior, ultimately arguing that strategic theory offers the most holistic and nuanced understanding. Unlike models that treat judges as either mechanical interpreters of the law or purely ideological actors, the strategic approach accounts for the broader institutional and interpersonal dynamics that influence judicial conduct. This research aims to contribute to the scholarly understanding of judicial decision-making, particularly in the context of personal injury cases. The findings demonstrate the multifaceted nature of the factors that judges must consider, highlighting the need for a comprehensive approach to analyzing their behavior.

Turkey’s Political Role in the Middle East and Its Repercussions on the Syrian State
The political role of Turkey in the Middle East has undergone a radical transformation, shifting from a "zero problems" policy to a more interventionist and decisive approach. This change is driven by a strategic vision to bolster its regional influence. The study is based on the premise that this transformation is not merely a reaction to events but is part of the "Neo-Ottomanism" principles adopted by the Justice and Development Party (AKP) under the leadership of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, capitalizing on the vacuum left by regional conflicts. The research focuses on the profound effects of Turkish intervention on the Syrian state, where it led to the fragmentation of Syrian territories by establishing direct military zones of influence, thus weakening the central government's sovereignty. It also contributed to demographic changes, as military operations resulted in population displacement and the settlement of other groups, raising serious questions about the future of Syrian unity. The study clarifies that Turkish intervention has complicated the conflict, turning Syria into an arena for competition among major regional and international powers (Turkey, Russia, Iran, and the United States), which has made finding a comprehensive political solution more difficult. The research also shows that Turkey has used economic and ideological tools to enhance its influence. In conclusion, the study affirms that Turkey's presence in Syria has become a fixed reality and a structural factor that must be considered in any future settlement. Understanding this complex role is key to comprehending the future landscape of the region.
The Legal Void in Decentralized Technologies: A Governance Model That Integrates Arbitration with AI
Blockchain technology poses one of the most significant contemporary challenges to legal systems. Its decentralized architecture redefines traditional concepts of regulation, eliminates the role of conventional intermediaries, and relies on immutable mechanisms of record-keeping. This paradigm shift generates complex legal dilemmas, including the absence of centralized accountability, uncertainties in jurisdiction, and the opacity of regulatory structures governing autonomous digital environments. This study examines the inadequacies of traditional legal frameworks in addressing decentralized systems and proposes innovative governance models that reconcile technological innovation with the principles of legality and accountability. Employing a comparative analytical methodology, the research contrasts conventional legal doctrines with emerging technological approaches, drawing upon statutory texts, judicial precedents, and recent scholarship in law and technology. The findings reveal three central insights: (1) the legal void in decentralized systems represents a multifaceted gap at the intersection of cross-border jurisdiction, the allocation of liability, and conflicts of enforceability; (2) artificial intelligence serves as a supportive tool rather than a substitute for human decision-making, thus necessitating Human-in-the-Loop models; and (3) there is an urgent need for a normative governance framework that integrates legal regulation with mechanisms of smart code. Accordingly, the study recommends: (1) establishing a legal-technical framework for the recognition and regulation of blockchains, smart contracts, and tokens as governance instruments; (2) articulating clear standards for modern arbitration that incorporate artificial intelligence as an auxiliary mechanism, while safeguarding disclosure, independence, and professional ethics (CIArb, SVAMC); and (3) developing a phased action plan to recalibrate the trajectory of the Legal-Tech revolution in Lebanon and the Arab world through adaptive legislation aligned with technological advancements.

The study used the descriptive-analytical approach, relying on a questionnaire as a tool that was distributed to a random sample of (381) administrative employees at the university. The results of the study showed a relatively high level of psychological empowerment among administrative employees, as the overall arithmetic mean for the axis reached (3.50). It was found that the dimensions of "meaning" and "ability" were the most prominent and effective, with an arithmetic mean of (3.71), while the participants expressed positions closer to neutrality towards the dimensions of "freedom" with an average of (3.32) and "influence" with an average of (3.24). The results also showed an increase in the level of creative thinking among employees, as the overall arithmetic mean for creative thinking reached (3.42). the study recommended the importance of designing and implementing training and development programs aimed at enhancing the four dimensions of psychological empowerment, with a particular focus on strengthening the dimensions of "freedom" and "influence," by instilling a culture of effective delegation and encouraging participation in the decision-making process.
Economic Feasibility Analysis of Saudi Clubs’ Investment in Player Health: An Applied Study on Athletic Performance
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the economic feasibility of investments made by Saudi sports clubs in player health. It specifically investigates the relationship between spending on health and fitness programs and their impact on athletic performance and financial returns. Methods: The research employed a descriptive-analytical approach combined with a case study methodology. Data collection tools included financial analysis, semi-structured interviews with club administrators, surveys with players and coaches, and comparative analysis between clubs that invest in player health and those that do not. Results: The findings indicate a positive relationship between investment in player health and improved athletic performance, which in turn has an indirect effect on financial returns. The study also revealed the absence of clear institutional policies governing health investments, despite increased awareness among stakeholders. Clubs that adopt structured health investment strategies demonstrated significantly higher competitiveness and financial stability compared to those that do not. Conclusions: The study recommends increasing budget allocations for health and fitness within sports clubs, forming strategic partnerships with medical institutions, and implementing periodic evaluation mechanisms to assess the athletic and financial impact of such investments.

Corporate Governance Practices and Their Contribution to Achieving Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 Objectives: An Applied Study on Emerging Cybersecurity Companies
This study seeks to analyze corporate governance practices in emerging cybersecurity companies and their role in achieving the objectives of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, in light of digital transformation and regulatory reforms aimed at enhancing transparency and investor confidence. The significance of the study lies in enriching the theoretical literature on corporate governance and providing an applied framework that promotes transparency, organizational flexibility, and the development of a secure digital society, thereby strengthening investor trust and contributing to the sustainability of the digital economy. The findings reveal a statistically significant relationship between the level of governance practices implemented in emerging cybersecurity companies and their ability to support Vision 2030 objectives, as well as statistically significant differences in governance evaluations attributable to practitioners’ characteristics (such as gender and job position within the cybersecurity sector). The study further emphasizes that adopting proposals to enhance governance practices contributes to improving organizational efficiency and sustainability in line with national goals. It recommends reinforcing the commitment of cybersecurity companies to applying governance principles as a pathway to achieving Vision 2030, activating the role of boards of directors by engaging specialized expertise, developing flexible regulatory frameworks tailored to the nature of emerging firms, and adopting performance indicators to measure transparency and compliance. Ultimately, the study concludes that governance should be viewed not merely as a legal requirement, but as a cornerstone for sustainable growth and the advancement of the national digital economy.
Subcontracting: A Study in the Framework of Administrative Contracts Under the Saudi System
This research aimed to study subcontracting in administrative contracts by clarifying the concept of subcontracting, analyzing the basic features of subcontracting in administrative contracts, and clarifying aspects of regulating the relationship within subcontracting within the scope of administrative contracts under the Saudi system. The research used the descriptive inductive approach, and data was collected from several secondary sources using a document analysis tool. The results of the study revealed that the concept of subcontracting is represented by a subsidiary agreement concluded by the original contractor with a third party, with the aim of fulfilling part of its contractual obligations with the administrative body. The study demonstrated that this type of contracting is distinguished by certain characteristics, such as the existence of a tripartite relationship and its being subordinate to the original contract. The study also indicated that the Saudi legislator did not leave this type of contracting unregulated, but rather established a clear legal framework for it in the Government Tenders and Procurement Law, permitting subcontracting on the condition of obtaining prior written approval from the administration, while specifying terms and controls aimed at protecting the public interest. The results also indicated that there are no multiple legal forms for subcontracting under the Saudi system. Rather, its concept is embodied in various fields of application, most notably the contracting and leasing sectors. Furthermore, the study results indicated that the relationship between the main contractor and the subcontractor is a contractual relationship subject to the general rules of civil law. Based on these findings, the study recommended the need to better implement subcontracting by administrative bodies enhancing transparency and oversight of projects, developing a unified procedural manual, developing qualification criteria, setting a maximum percentage of subcontracted work, and establishing an effective dispute resolution mechanism to ensure quality implementation and achieve the public interest.
The Russia–Ukraine War and the Struggle to Shape the New International Order
This study examines the Russia–Ukraine war as a pivotal moment in the transformation of the international system, exploring the nature of the conflict and its geopolitical, economic, and technological dimensions, along with its impact on global power dynamics. The significance of the study lies in its contribution to understanding the current transitional phase of the international order, demonstrating how the war has become a formative factor in reshaping international relations and future geopolitical balances, and offering an analytical reference for interpreting ongoing shifts and anticipating what may follow. The study adopts an analytical–inductive methodology based on reviewing relevant literature, strategic documents, and historical and political trajectories preceding and following the war, in addition to assessing potential future scenarios. The findings reveal that the war exposed the limits of U.S. hegemony and triggered a tangible shift toward an emerging multipolar order, reflected in the rising influence of Russia, China, and India, and the growing relevance of groupings such as BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. They also highlight the increasing centrality of economic and technological competition and the declining effectiveness of traditional international institutions in crisis management.

The Strategic Rivalry Between Turkey and Iran and Its Implications for the Middle East
This research aims to analyze the nature of the strategic competition between Turkey and Iran in the Middle East and its impact on regional stability from 2003 to the present. The study's central problem is that this competition, while historically rooted, has taken on new and complex dimensions following the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq. This event acted as a catalyst, deepening existing crises and destabilizing the region. Adopting a descriptive-analytical methodology, the study seeks to test three core hypotheses. First, it posits that the strategic competition between the two powers is driven by the goal of filling the security and political vacuum in the region, which paradoxically leads to increased instability rather than balance. Second, it argues that Turkey and Iran utilize divergent mechanisms in their rivalry: Turkey predominantly leverages soft power and economic tools, while Iran relies more on its network of military proxies and ideological support. Third, the study hypothesizes that this competition has exacerbated sectarian and political divisions in conflict zones like Syria and Iraq, prolonging these conflicts. The study's objectives are multifaceted. They include identifying the historical, ideological, and security-based drivers of the competition; analyzing its primary arenas, such as Syria and Iraq; examining the tools and mechanisms each country employs to extend its influence; and assessing the direct and indirect impact of the rivalry on regional security. The research also aims to outline potential future scenarios for the relationship between Turkey and Iran and their implications for the regional balance of power. This research holds significant academic and practical value. It helps to fill a gap in the Arabic literature that addresses this subject in depth, while also offering a practical framework for analyzing the dynamics of competition between regional powers. The findings could be valuable to policymakers, aiding them in understanding the true dimensions of these crises and formulating more effective strategies.
The Effectiveness of Using Gamification Strategy in Enhancing the Motivation of Business Administration Students to Learn the Principles of Financial Management Course in Saudi Arabia
This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of applying gamification strategies in enhancing the motivation of female students in the College of Business Administration while learning the course: Principles of Financial Management. The study employed the platform Kahoot! as an instructional tool to create an interactive and engaging learning environment. Adopting a quasi-experimental approach with a one-group design (pre-test/post-test), the study developed and administered a motivation scale before and after the intervention to measure changes in students’ learning motivation. The findings revealed statistically significant differences between the pre- and post-test results in favor of the latter, indicating the positive impact of gamification on improving students’ motivation and learning outcomes. Based on these results, the study recommends incorporating gamification elements into the design of finance courses, providing training for faculty on the use of interactive learning tools, and developing digital content that accommodates individual differences while fostering active participation. The study concludes that adopting innovative, gamification-based teaching methods contributes to the creation of interactive learning environments that align with the nature of academic courses and the directions of contemporary higher education.
The Mediating Role of Practical Relevance between Instructional Practices of Teachers and Sustainable Engagement among Accounting Students in Saudi Arabia: The Moderating Role of Artificial Intelligence Usage
This research aimed to examine the direct influence of the instructional practices of teachers (IPT) on the sustainable engagement (SE) of accounting students studying in Saudi Arabian private and public universities. The study also aimed to investigate the mediating role of practical relevance (PR) in the above relationship. Furthermore, the study investigated whether artificial intelligence usage (AIU) by students has any moderating role in the above relationships. This study adopted a quantitative approach. Using the simple random sampling method, the study collected 374 responses for the analysis through the PLS-SEM. The results indicate that IPT does not necessarily influence sustainable engagement directly unless there is an indirect role of practical relevance. Surprisingly, the study didn’t find a moderating role for AIU in the above relationships. The results have practical implications for practitioners, managers, policymakers in to ignite sustainable engagement among the accounting students in Saudi Arabia and beyond.

This study examines the effect of liquidity and financial leverage on the financial performance of Sudatel Telecommunications Group Ltd. over the period 2015–2024, a time marked by economic and financial instability in Sudan. A descriptive–analytical approach was employed, using SPSS to conduct correlation analysis, linear regression, and ANOVA. The results reveal a strong and statistically significant positive relationship between liquidity and financial performance. Specifically, the Quick Ratio emerged as the most influential predictor of Return on Assets (ROA), with a regression coefficient of 5.698 at a significance level of 0.013. In contrast, financial leverage showed no significant effect on ROA (P = 0.470), indicating that debt financing did not contribute to profitability. Earnings per Share (EPS) also exhibited no significant impact, underscoring its dependence on external market factors. By distinguishing between liquidity measures and providing context-specific evidence from Sudan’s telecommunications sector, this study addresses a research gap in fragile economies. It recommends strengthening quick liquidity management, minimizing reliance on debt, and improving working-capital efficiency to enhance financial resilience.

Evaluating the Transformations of the Bura Biosphere Reserve in Yemen: A reading of the Environmental, Social, and Economic Context
The establishment of protected areas is a crucial step towards improving the environment, protecting wildlife and marine life, mitigating degradation, conserving biodiversity, and promoting ecotourism. They also play a role in protecting ecosystems and supporting climate regulation. The designation of these areas promotes sustainable livelihoods, raises environmental awareness, and enhances communities' resilience through sustainable resource management. This paper aims to explore the transformations that Bura'a Biosphere Reserve in Yemen has witnessed since its inscription on UNESCO's tentative list in 2002, through its declaration as a national reserve in 2006, and finally its registration as a Biosphere Reserve on the UNESCO List in 2011. The study focuses on analyzing the environmental, social, and economic context of each phase, exploring the key challenges and opportunities the reserve faced during these stages. The study adopted a qualitative descriptive approach, using analytical chronology and case study methods to document and analyze the reserve's development. The study concludes that each phase has experienced environmental, social, and economic challenges, shaped by changing political circumstances, economic instability, and the effects of climate change. The trajectory of the Bura'a Biosphere Reserve reflects a complex interplay of these factors. The study revealed that conservation efforts have been significantly hampered by environmental changes, such as climate-induced drought, as well as weak management and the inability to enforce laws.
