The current study investigates the comprehension of reading compared to the comprehension of listening to books that are usually read for pleasure. It attempts to shed light on the differences found in the comprehension of audiobooks as opposed to that of print books. In addition, it explores the effects of using audiobooks for learners’ attitudes and motivation. The sample of this study included 10 female students from The Science Stream of Saudi Arabia Taif University Preparatory Year Program. This study used the story The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett (1911) as the reading material. Participants of the study have either read then listened to the story or listened then read it. The instruments used for data collection included comprehension tests designed by Oxford Bookworms Library along with a questionnaire designed by the researcher. The results of the tests indicate a significant difference between the scores of the reading and listening groups in favour of the listening group. These results, revealed that using audiobooks is an effective tool for introducing EFL learners to reading. Also, comprehension gained through audiobooks can sometime surpass that gained through traditional reading of print books. In addition, EFL learners can get more literary pleasure from reading audiobooks than they may have through print books. This study is, to the best of my knowledge, the first of its kind in a Saudi University that studies the impact of using audiobooks as a tool implementing reading for pleasure and measuring the comprehension gained from it as a distinct reading method.

The diarrhoea is one serious symptom associated with Gastroenteritis may be leading to a death of children. The high-altitude may had an effect, according to Highland medicine, there is a strong relationship between high-altitude and the diseases such as upper risk disturbances of hypothermia and gastro-intestinal diseases. This study identified access the scientific knowledge of diarrhoea, its bacterial causes and the effect ranges of the high altitude on some bacterial etiology of diarrhoea in children. That was through the study of symptoms and diagnosis for cases in the pediatric department in Taif city public hospitals. Taif city is area at high-altitude above sea level, therefore the residents might expose to climatic conditions that help the microbial infections. The comparison of Taif city data with Makkah city which is normal-altitude and considered as low land to Taif city. In addition, study the sequences of 16S rRNA and the determination of phylogenetic relationships among chosen isolates. This study was carried on in the government hospitals in Taif and Makkah cities during (Nov. 2015 - Jun. 2016). The study had been performed to compare some of bacterial etiology and symptoms associated with complaints of diarrhoea due to gastroenteritis among children which their age was between (2 to 12) years old, they were distributed into 3 group (2-4, 4-6 and 6-12) year. The total number of children enrolled in this study were 767 cases; (380 were from Taif and 372 cases were from Makkah). The results were concluded; the distribution of gastro-enteritis cases according to the age, there was an inverse relationship between gastro -enteritis and age groups F under study, and the highest percentage of cases was in Taif until the age of (6-12) years, it was observed in Makkah was higher. The distribution of gastro-enteritis cases according to the sex, the rate of cases for females was higher than the males of both cities, and was observed a higher cases of females in Makkah than Taif. The highest percent of males was in Taif compared with Makkah. The difference in the total of cases with diarrhoea of children gastro-enteritis where it was higher in Taif than Makkah city. The distribution of gastro-enteritis cases according to the clinical diagnosis for symptoms; (severe, moderate and mild), there was an increase in the number of cases in Taif from Makkah for severe and moderate symptoms, while mild symptoms were higher in Makkah for all age groups under study. The distribution of gastro-enteritis cases for each age separately to the total according to the clinical diagnosis, the difference between Taif and Makkah was found. The total distribution rate was higher in Taif except for the age group (6-12) years. The statistical analysis showed an increase in the rates of Taif from Makkah, but the cases of mild symptoms were in Makkah higher for the age groups (4-6 and 6-12) years. The results, based on the distribution of intestinal bacteria revealed the high incidence of infection in Taif compared to Makkah in the total and for all age groups. The distribution of bacterial spp in total bacterial enteropathogens, in ascending order in Taif were as (Campylobacter spp, Salmonella spp, Shigella spp and E. coli) respectively, while in Makkah were as (Salmonella spp, Shigella spp, Campylobacter spp and E. coli) respectively. The rate of all bacterial infection was higher in Taif than Makkah except (Campylobacter and E. coli). G The distribution of bacterial positive for enter-pathogens, in ascending order in Taif were as (Campylobacter spp, Salmonella spp, Shigella spp and E. coli) respectively, while in Makkah (Salmonella spp, Shigella spp, Campylobacter spp and E. coli) respectively, the rate of infection of all bacteria was higher in Taif than Makkah expet Campylobacter spp was equal in both cities . The results revealed the similarity percentage of 16S rRNA sequences for the selected isolates compared to those obtained . The results showed that the isolate strains were as (1, 2 and 3) were similar to (Shigella flexneri, E. coli, and Salmonella enterica), respectively. The isolation strain was 4 as Campylobacter was difficult to obtain the sequence of 16S rRNA genes, which gave a negative result, possibly due to poor growth and the death in sending preparation to Korea and Jeddah laboratory

The researchers had a major role in proposing many distributions to the statistical community which in turn helped to solve some of the problems that have affected the data and not represented well. In this thesis, this thesis proposes the distribution of a new life by reducing the model that introduced by (Almalki, and Yuan, 2013). The proposed new distribution has three parameters. It has a simple hazard function and the increasing shape takes its mathematical characteristics. Compared this distribution with some other distributions using real data, used multiple methods to find estimations and confidence Intervals such as the maximum likelihood estimator and Bayes estimate. In this thesis compared the methods. We concluding that show that the new model represents data well, especially if the sample size is not large and it is a flexible distribution. The thesis is divided into six chapters. The first chapter presents the main concepts used in the thesis as well as making a historical presentation of the most important subjects related to them and presenting the problem that we will address. In Chapter 2: A review of some continuous distributions and continuous modifications of the Weibull distribution where the hazard function takes the increasing form and some new reduced distributions in which the hazard function is of an increasing or increasing form, including the density function, the hazard function and their different forms, graphical tools for data analysis as well as some tests used in data analysis. In Chapter 3: The study of the new reduced distribution called the second reducing modified Weibull distribution (SRNMW), which has three parameters, the hazard function is increasing, showing all the mathematical and statistical characteristics of this distribution, including the density function, the hazard function, the order statistics, the moment and other characteristics. In Chapter 4: created the classical estimates of the new reduced distribution parameters based on real data and obtained periods of confidence as the maximum likelihood method and the method of bootstrap and simulation of this distribution. In Chapter 5: Bayes estimators for the second reducing new modified Weibull distribution are presented, as well as the reliability and hazard functions by using real data. The Bayes estimators cannot be obtained in explicit forms, So, approximate Bayes estimators are computed using the MCMC method, the simulation of the results was studied in order to study the efficiency of the methods used. In Chapter 6: In this section we will present a summary of the new results obtained in this thesis with the discussion of these results and also will be presented some of the future work through which this research can be developed, if any.

Over the years many researchers have proposed modifications from Weibull distribution, we provide a review of the reduced modifications and study some of its properties. This thesis introduces a new two-parameter lifetime distribution with bathtub-shaped hazard function, by reducing the model (RMW) with three parameters provided by Almaliki (2018). Some mathematical properties of distribution including hazard function, moments and order statistics are discussed. Calculated the maximum likelihood estimation, bootstrap and Bayesian estimations, then, we compare the results of different methods. We applied the reduced model to real datasets and it observed that the reduced model can provide a better fit than some other known distributions. The thesis consists of six chapters: In Chapter 1: Introduction and background of the thesis. In Chapter 2: The first part provides a review of continuous modifications of the Weibull distribution and some modern reduced distributions with two or three parameters, including their probability density and hazard functions and their shapes are presented. The second part introduces estimation methods, some tests for data analysis and goodness of fit are discussed. In Chapter 3: Introduces a new two-parameter modification of the Weibull distribution, called as new reduced lifetime (NRD) distribution. The shapes of its probability density and hazard rate functions are investigated. A method to simulate a random sample from this distribution is presented. Some of the mathematical properties of the NRD are studied including moments, moment generating function and order statistics. The maximum likelihood estimation of the proposed distribution is discussed. Different real datasets are used to compare the flexibility of the reduced version versus other lifetime distributions that have the same shape of hazard function. In Chapter 4: We consider the problem of frequentist estimation of the parameter, reliability and hazard functions of the NRD distribution based on a lifetime data. For this purpose, the MLE and bootstrap estimators are used. Exact and approximate confidence intervals for the two-parameters of the NRD distribution under lifetime data are discussed. Practical examples using real dataset are presented for illustrative our purposes. Results from the simulation study assessing the performance of our proposed method are included In Chapter 5: Bayes estimators for the NRD distribution are presented, as well as the reliability and hazard functions. The Bayes estimators cannot be obtained in explicit forms. Approximate Bayes estimators are computed using the MCMC method to generate from the posterior distributions. An analysis of real datasets is presented for illustrative our purposes. Results from the simulation study assessing the performance of our proposed method are included. In Chapter 6: In this chapter, we present a summary of the new results obtained in this research with a discussion of these results, and also some of the future work which through it this research can be developed.

This study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of Augmented Reality (AR) on developing fourth grade primary students' vocabulary acquisition. The sample of the descriptive study comprised 255 primary stage participants (119 male and 136 female). The sample of the experimental study consisted of (112) male and female students, 20 students (10 male and 10 female), two teachers (one male and one female) who taught the experimental groups, and 10 parents (10 male and 10 female) for conducting the interviews. Students were divided into two experiment groups; male (n=24) and female (n=32), and two control groups; male (n=24) and female (n=32), studying English language book (Get Ready 2) at Taif public schools, Saudi Arabia. The study employed the mixed-method approach; the embedded mixed methods design. The quantitative tools that were used in the study were: technology use survey, a vocabulary test, an observation card and usability survey. While the qualitative tools were: semi-structured interviews for teachers, students and parents. The findings indicated that almost all the students use technology at home. Most of them used technology for learning in general and for learning English in particular. Also, There were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the study groups in the vocabulary posttest in favor of the experimental groups. Additionally, there were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the study groups in the vocabulary posttest due to gender and the interaction between the teaching method and gender. Besides, there were no statistically significant differences between the mean scores of students' perception of using the proposed augmented reality software for acquiring English language vocabulary due to gender. Moreover, the teacher's views towards the appropriateness of the proposed software for vocabulary acquisition at the primary stage were positive. Finally, the findings revealed essentially positive opinions regarding the usefulness of the experiment.

The effect of reduced Graphene Oxide (Graphene) (RGO) on the Photovoitaic performance of TiO2-based dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) has been investigated. The different amounts of RGO (in mg) was mixed to one gram (1 g) of TiO2solution. The RGO content was varied in the range from 0 mg (pure TiO2) to 12 mg to form TiO2/RGO composite pastes before deposition as films on FTO (F-doped tin oxide)-coated glass substrates. The morphological, structural, optical and photovoltaic properties of the TiO2/ RGO films and corresponding DSSCs were studied as functions of the RGO content. Two regions were identified: The region of RGOcontents below 5 mg: The SEM images show morphology with flat and homogeneous surface and the TiO2 particles bridged and more or less covered by the RGO. The XRD spectra show no trace of the RGO due to its small content. The optical band-gap Eg of the TiO2/RGO film in this region decreases linearly with increasing RGO and the efficiency of the corresponding DSSC increases linearly. In fact, the decrease of Eg is accompanied with the lowering of the minimum level of the conduvtive band of the TiO2/RGO semiconductor and this must enhance the rate of injection of the photo-excited electrons from the dye. As a result, the photocurrent and the efficiency ƞ is increase. An improvement of ƞ by about 70% (from 2.3% to 4%) was observed at the optimal RGO content 5 mg . The region of RGO contents above 5 mg to 12 mg: The SEM images show morphology dominated in structure by the RGO which appears to form an envelope for the TiO2 particles with a very structured and random surface containing large cavities. The XRD spectra show a clear peak at 44°for the RGr associated with the (100) planes. The optical band-gap Eg of the TiO2/ RGO film in this region varies randomly with increasing RG O content and the efficiency ƞ of the corresponding DSSC falls back to the value of the pure TiO2 or less.
